Chapter 10 Those Who Did Not Return

Daxia.

The military examination was only open for half a day before it was forced to end.

This is an annual event for mankind, involving a large number of people. Who doesn't have children? The annual martial arts examination involves almost every industry in Daxia.

However, this year's martial arts exam is a little different.

A large-scale geological movement suddenly occurred in the secret realm of Wanshou Mountain, and all the safe areas previously divided by humans were messed up.

Although they were discovered in time, how could a group of high school students enter the mysterious Wanshou Mountain with its chaotic area?

By the time the Education Department discovered the problem, half a day had already passed. In the following half a day, news of the termination of the martial arts exam and problems with the exam venue swept through all walks of life like a storm.

The scope of the case is so wide that this news cannot be hidden.

After all, the children of employees from various departments of Daxia also took part in this military examination!

The candidates for the college entrance examination are just a group of martial artists in reserve at the martial arts apprentice level. After passing the martial arts examination and entering the secret realm using the secret realm teleportation device, they can only wait seven days for the teleportation to be opened again before being pulled back by the 'Mark of the Present World'.

If it's less than seven days, their bodies simply can't withstand multiple transmissions in a short period of time.

The top management of Daxia urgently used the highest level of secret realm transmission equipment and dispatched a large number of warriors to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Secret Realm to rescue the candidates as much as possible.

Almost all warriors in Daxia who had reached a certain standard of strength were dispatched and entered the secret realm of Wanshou Mountain to carry out rescue as soon as possible.

Millions of warriors spent an entire night conducting a carpet search within the area of ​​the Mysterious Land of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain that was originally controlled by humans, and successfully rescued 768,361 candidates.

This number is less than half of the total number of candidates for this military examination. After all, the scope of the military examination covers the entire Daxia!

The problem was discovered in a timely manner, otherwise, even fewer candidates would have been rescued.

Due to large-scale geological changes, the geographical location of the Mysterious Mountain Secret Realm is changing all the time. The basic network built by humans for the secret realm has completely collapsed, and it is no longer possible to locate the position of each candidate through the candidates' watches.

After the 760,000 candidates were rescued, the remaining candidates were already scattered, and some had even met with accidents.

Large-scale geological changes also forced some powerful monsters or demons to leave their original territories, which had a great impact on the rescue operation.

A large number of the warriors who were originally on patrol for the examination also lost contact...

The Director of the Education Department walked through the woods, and with the powerful perception of a warrior, he constantly monitored the situation within a three-mile radius around him. Once he found a candidate nearby, he would rush to rescue him and send the candidate back to the world.

He has been running non-stop for half a day and a night.

During this period, he encountered powerful monsters and successfully rescued many candidates.

Running, sensing, fighting, rescuing... For half a day and a night, his mind had been in a state of high tension. Even in his current state, he was already very tired.

But he couldn't stop, nor did he dare to stop.

Because once he stopped, those candidates who had not been found yet would most likely die tragically in the mouths of beasts or at the hands of monsters.

Time is life!

Such a serious mistake occurred in this military examination, and he, as the Director of the Education Department, cannot deny the blame. He can accept any punishment afterwards, but now, when he thinks of the large number of young candidates who may be in very dangerous situations, he cannot stop.

At least, we should save more people!

In half a day and one night, the Director of the Education Department saved nearly 7,000 candidates with his strong power.

But it's not enough!

Nearly 60% of the candidates have not found it yet!

He can't stop!

"I'm sorry, kids. Please hold on..."

The Director of the Education Department felt such a strong sense of guilt that it almost drowned him.

On the first day of the military examination, between nightfall and dawn, he rescued nearly seven thousand candidates.

However, the next day, it was almost noon, and he had only rescued nearly three hundred people... It was not because he was not strong, but because the Mysterious Realm of the Mountain of Beasts was too large, and the remaining candidates were too scattered.

In addition, the extremely secretive large-scale geological changes that are still continuing in the Mysterious Realm of the Beast Mountain are causing the geographical location to change all the time, making rescue operations increasingly difficult...

…

Yuncheng No.1 Middle School.

In the classroom of Grade 3-4.

The head teacher Li Bindao stood on the podium with deep fatigue in his eyes.

There was a strong smell of blood on his body that was difficult to get rid of. He also participated in this rescue.

However, due to his age and the serious injuries he suffered in his early years, his energy and blood were weak, and he only lasted for half the night before being forced to return to the real world.

Although he wanted to continue the rescue, he knew very well that if he persisted, he would probably become the one who needed to be rescued... and that would only cause trouble for the rescue operation, so he wisely withdrew.

Fortunately, the students in his class seemed to have good luck, and by dawn, almost all the students in the class were rescued. Although each of them still had a look of fear on their faces, they were all alive, which was a good thing.

"Students, the teacher knows that you are very scared now and want to go home, but you can't yet." Li Bin said in a hoarse voice: "We still have two students who haven't returned yet. Please wait for a while in the school..."

He tried his best to calm the students and asked them to wait in the school for a while until the rescue operation was completed and the casualties were counted.

The same was true for other classes. The students who had been rescued sat quietly in the classroom, recalling the horrific scenes they had encountered in the secret realm of Wanshou Mountain, and waiting.

Some teachers who are not suitable for rescue or have consumed a lot of energy and blood and are unable to continue the rescue operation are trying their best to calm the students' emotions.

There are 46 students in Class 3-4 of Senior High School, and 44 of them have returned.

While comforting the students, Li Bindao looked at the only two empty seats in the classroom.

There are still two students who have not returned.

Class monitor Liang Shixian, and classmate Ji Ruo.

…

"There's also voice broadcasting? Not bad, this one is enough for undergraduate study."

Ji Ruo muttered happily.

Normally, the martial arts examination venue would be cleaned before the exam, and candidates would theoretically only encounter monsters or demons with a strength less than or equal to level six martial artists.

But it is not absolute.

There will still be some special situations, such as some monsters temporarily breaking through to a higher level, or high-level monsters from other areas invading.

In the military examination, similar situations are called "out-of-syllabus questions".

In previous years' military examinations, of the nearly 3% mortality rate, nearly 30% was due to encountering "out-of-scope examination questions".

It is definitely dangerous, but if you can successfully kill it, the rewards will naturally be very high.

The scoring method for the military exam is somewhat complicated.

But according to Ji Ruo's understanding, an "out-of-syllabus question" is, in theory, equivalent to getting 150 points in a certain subject in the college entrance examination he took in his previous life.

That means you get full marks on an exam!

An ordinary Goblin Lord, normally equivalent to an eighth-level human warrior.

And this one can even speak, so its strength must be higher, maybe even reaching the level of a ninth-level warrior!

If this is just a chance to pick up something, of course I'm happy.

Of course, the strength of this Goblin Lord was just Ji Ruo's guess, and he had no idea how strong he actually was.

After all, when he met him, this guy was already on the verge of death. Even if he hadn't given him that iron sand palm strike, this guy wouldn't have lived long.

Therefore, Ji Ruo didn't know the level of strength of this gang.

He was only clear about one thing, that is, this guy had triggered the voice broadcast of the watch, which must be an "out-of-syllabus question"!
