Chapter 69: The Martial Examination Begins
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
A thousand questions, diligently and meticulously worked on, would take about two hours, right?
But with the help of a lucky goddess wife by your side, things couldn’t be too simple.
Casually tossing down a crumpled piece of paper, then opening it, filling in the choices, continuing the process, the accuracy rate was one hundred percent, an easy full score on the written exam.
It was also fortunate that in this examination copy space, students couldn’t see each other, otherwise there would definitely be a bunch of people with confused, old-man-on-the-subway expressions.
Is this the demon prodigy that overwhelmed so many scholars?
So, answering questions is based on mysticism?
It’s so devoid of technical content?
And the deans of the nine major academies who were monitoring the exam were at this moment watching the light screens, also speechless.
“Old He, are you sure this kid is a super scholar?’
A few nosy old men had even pulled up the test paper that Zi Liyuan was
working on to take a look.
“What kind of sorcery is this, getting a hundred percent accuracy rate?”
“Could it be that this kid has the talent to foresee the future?”
“Foresee the future, my foot! Didn’t you see he’s choosing by tossing a paper
ball?”
“It’s probably a talent for increasing luck, and not a low one at that.
In a short span of time, they had watched him answer about a hundred and fifty questions, not a single mistake, it was simply outrageous!
“No wonder this kid has so many unique abilities; we might consider extending an invitation for an examination, and if we really enroll him in the academy to nurture him, relying on his miraculous lucky ability, his chances of avoiding „ the Evil God’s temptation in the Sea of Realms would definitely be very high.”
The head of Dragon Academy stroked his goatee, considering for the first time to issue an invitation to Zi Liyuan.
“Whether you send an invitation or not, others can still go to your academy for the examination. However, this kid is very suitable for our military school.”
“What dreams are you having! The military has too many people, there are simply not enough resources to go around. This kid is almost guaranteed the Jiangnan Continent’s top scholar and might even be the national top scholar for the Nine Great Divine Provinces. Who would set their sights on the worst of the nine major academies?”
“Ahem, when it comes to recruitment, it’s all about skill, right? This kid is quite the marvel; a slight tilt in resources towards him isn’t too much, right?
He Bai interrupted the others with a cough, before the argument could flare up.
At that very moment, Zi Liyuan was completely unaware that nine old men were once again peeking at him.
Having completed all the questions with the help of his cheat, he clicked to submit his paper early, then sprawled boredly on the desk.
“The second part, the martial exam, still has to wait until the afternoon. I wonder if there will be any fresh new sections this year.”
In the annual college entrance exams, all students from the Nine Great Divine Provinces are transported to a special copy space to endure a survival battle.
Tens of millions of students are teleported into a huge city overrun with monsters, where they must survive for 30 days.
The final score is based on a comprehensive assessment of these 30 days’ performance.
The comprehensive assessment includes the number of monsters killed, BOSSes killed, resources obtained, days survived, and ability performance, among others.
The copy space has a protection mechanism; if one is dealt a lethal injury, they get forcibly kicked out of the copy, ensuring, for the most part, no fatalities.
As Zi Liyuan was recalling some martial exam information for the college entrance examination, time unconsciously passed by, and in the next moment, he reappeared in the altar square.
“The boring literary exam is finally over. Xiao Yurou, how did it go? Are you confident you’ve scored full marks?”
Stretching and twisting his hips, Zi Liyuan turned to Shen Yurou and asked. “Do you think everyone is as twisted as you? Hey, question 520, the evolution of the Griffin BOSS, did you choose A or B?”
Shen Yurou frowned and asked with a roll of her eyes at this frivolous guy.
“I don’t know.”
“Do you expect me to believe that?”
“I really don’t know what I picked at that time.”
He hadn’t glanced at the question at all and simply tossed a crumpled piece of paper to choose.
“Forget it, hmph!”
Puffing up with anger, Shen Yurou snapped, then took out a peach and bit into it ferociously.
Zi Liyuan shrugged his shoulders without further explanation; he certainly couldn’t say that he had cheated and didn’t need to look at the questions to get them all right, could he?
“Be careful during the martial exam, especially the professionals!”
The test was about survival ability; the biggest enemies in the dungeon were various monsters, but the contestants entering had to be equally cautious.
Because in the dungeon it was possible to snatch others’ resources!
Why do scions of many great clans, despite their extensive resources, still score low in every college entrance exam?
This was not just about luck; it also involved human interference!
Professional commoners were not pushovers either; in such super dungeons, their tendency to band together was extremely high, and some would stop at nothing to rob other professionals.
The clan scions often preferred to act alone or in small teams to score well, but they couldn’t withstand being mobbed by dozens or even hundreds of professional commoners.
“Don’t worry, if anyone dares to target me, I’ll make sure they finish their martial exam early!”
For her, a commoner professional, the college entrance exam was a chance to defy the odds and change her fate, and she would mercilessly tear apart anyone who dared to ruin her opportunity.
“Better safe than sorry, I’ll head towards the city center, and you should try to stay close to the center as well.”
Zi Liyuan briefly shared his plan.
In the martial exam dungeon, the monsters get progressively stronger towards the city center, until in the central area, only BOSSes existed.
Any confident examinee aiming for high scores in the martial exam would head for the central area.
At two in the afternoon, the altar released a rainbow glow once again, enveloping the entire square, and all the examinees participating in the martial exam were once more collectively transported into the dungeon.
[Entering the special Time Dungeon – “Fallen City”; 1 hour outside corresponds to 10 days in the dungeon world, which will end after 30 days have elapsed.]
[The Time Dungeon’s rule suppression is lifted; all monster strength is equal to that in the wild dungeons, with high-level BOSSes constrained to the central area.]
[Time Dungeon First Order Phase: for the first 10 days, random safe zones will appear within the city where no mutual attacks are possible, and monsters are prohibited from entering.]
[Time Dungeon Second Order Phase: the middle 10 days, safe zones disappear, all minor monsters’ templates are promoted once, with the highest being the hero template.]
[Time Dungeon Third Order Phase: the last 10 days, all minor monsters enter a frenzied mode with a 50% strength increase, central area restrictions are lifted, and all high-level BOSSes can move freely within the city!]
System prompts kept ringing in Li Yuan’s ears; he found himself on the rooftop of a tall building, and he wasn’t the only one there – approximately every 5 meters, there was another contestant.
“Man, there must be over a thousand people here.
After scanning around, his Death’s Eye even constructed a three-dimensional map; all the information about the contestants at the scene appeared in his mind, including highly accurate details of their equipment.
“There are actually more than two hundred First Order professionals, this year’s examinees are really competitive, time to get out of here.” His gaze paused momentarily on a First Order LV32 contestant before he decisively turned his head and walked towards the stairwell.
