I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 444 The Second Extraordinary Person Assessment
at the same time.

The three people who were on a mission to guide others outside Kunlun Mountain also received the news that Nangong Hong had broken through to the Innate Realm.

The expressions on their faces changed.

Although they had speculated about this possibility.

But when I actually heard that the other party had succeeded, I still felt a bit conflicted.

After a moment, Bai Zhengyu composed himself and said with a smile:

"This is actually good news. After the show-off broke through to the Innate Realm, there's one less competitor on the combat power ranking!"

“Starting next month, we will be able to receive more contribution points.”

Of course, this was just something I was saying to comfort myself.

After all, even the top-ranked player on the combat power leaderboard only gets 20 contribution points per month.

After breaking through the innate level, the opportunities to obtain contribution points will increase immeasurably.

Any exploration mission requires at least 30 contribution points.

There's simply no comparison.

Moreover, 20 contribution points are simply not enough for them right now.

Even if you include the contribution points you can get from daily tasks, the result is still the same.

You should know that under normal circumstances, a level 5 Body Tempering cultivator would need about 20 contribution points per month just for the training room!
This is without the aid of any extraordinary drugs.

If these extraordinary potions are used to assist, the time and contribution points required for cultivation will only increase.

Not to mention that if you want to quickly improve your martial arts level, you also need to replenish your essence with elixirs.

With so many cultivation resources, the speed at which one can acquire contribution points in the Body Tempering Realm is simply insufficient.

Therefore, if they can break through to the Innate Realm as soon as possible, no one wants to stay in the Body Tempering Realm.

"After this mission is over, I need to hurry up and create extraordinary martial arts techniques!"

Situ Yanran murmured to herself.

Although her talent was not as great as Nangong's, Situ Yanran was the kind of person who never gave up.

This can be seen from the fact that when she first started cultivating, she risked her life to complete the fourth tempering.

"Let's go, another person has collapsed from exhaustion!"

In the blink of an eye, a day has passed.

Huangfu Yao, who was far ahead of everyone else, became the first person to arrive at the academy without any suspense.

Wan Chen overtook Jack by a very narrow margin at the last moment.

Followed by.

The fourth and fifth people also arrived at the finish line one after another.

By that evening, the top fifteen had all been determined.

"There are only two days left. I wonder how many people will be unable to reach the academy this year?"

So far, four people have been eliminated early!
In the next two days, the number of people will only increase.

as predicted.

When the competition ended on December 31st, a total of 25 people had been eliminated.

Nearly one-third of them died from exhaustion.

The rest of the people failed to reach the academy!

Before the final assessment even began, the number of participants had already decreased by nearly one-tenth.

This ratio is twice as high as last year.

"Is this the Academy of Origins?"

Upon arriving at the academy, many people were filled with excitement.

After overcoming countless hardships, they finally arrived at this place they had always dreamed of!
However, those who had visited last year were much calmer.

It's definitely too early to be happy now.

"This time, I'm determined to pass the final test!"

Looking at everything around him, both familiar and unfamiliar, a strong desire flashed in Su Ze's eyes.

He doesn't want to experience what happened last year again!
Now I will announce the top fifteen performers in this test.

Just as everyone was still excited, Bai Zhengyu's words instantly attracted everyone's attention.

[First Place: Huangfu Yao!]

Second place: Wan Chen!

Third Place: Jack!

[Fourth Place: Anderson!]

[Fifth Place: Su Ze!]

[15th Place: Garcia!]

Soon, Bai Zhengyu finished announcing all the rankings.

Of these, 6 were from Kyushu and 9 were from other factions.

However, three of the top five are from Kyushu.

All of these individuals will receive contribution points as rewarded according to their respective rankings!

If you pass the final assessment tomorrow, these contribution points will be automatically added to your personal information.

Those who did not pass can still redeem the resources they need after the assessment.

You can go and rest now. The final assessment will begin first thing tomorrow morning.

Anyone who wants to look around is welcome, but only within designated areas.

Okay, that's all I wanted to say. I hope to see you all at the academy sometime in the future.

After saying that, Bai Zhengyu and the other two didn't linger.

Their mission is now completely over.

They don't need to worry about what happens next.

As for who among these people would pass the final assessment, the three of them didn't care much.

Even if someone is a genius, so what?

Even if another monster like Nangong Hong were to appear, it would be impossible for him to have any impact on them in the short term.

Moreover, none of these people have even started cultivating yet, so it's impossible to tell who has the stronger talent.

Therefore, Bai Zhengyu and his two companions didn't take these newcomers seriously at all.

In fact, the others didn't seem to care much about this year's performance evaluation either.

Everyone is seizing every moment to cultivate, so who has the mind to think about these things?
It's amazing that some people will come to see the final assessment tomorrow.

"Finally, I can go buy two bottles of spirit potion!"

"At this rate, it should only take me a week to break through to the seventh level of the fifth stage of Body Tempering."

Inside the mission lobby.

Looking at the 20 contribution points that had been credited to his account, Bai Zhengyu smiled with satisfaction.

He then quickly headed towards the resource exchange room.

……

The next day.

The Extraordinary Era has officially entered its second year.

And today, another thirty people will be able to enter the Origin Academy!

Eight in the morning.

All 275 candidates who were participating in the final assessment had gathered in the square.

Everyone has different expressions.

Some people nervously adjusted their breathing, while others closed their eyes and concentrated, all in order to bring themselves to their peak condition at this final moment.

Clearly, at this point, no one wanted to make any mistakes.

It's important to know that all 275 people here are top-tier geniuses.

However, Origin Academy ultimately only admitted 30 students.

Standing out from so many people is no easy task.

Even those who ranked in the top three in the first round of assessments dared not say that they would definitely pass the assessment.

"Hopefully, someone from our group will pass the final assessment this year!"

On the viewing platform, the representative from the North Sea region looked extremely nervous.

If no one gets into the Origin Academy this year, their status will likely decline further.

They can't afford the consequences!

"Don't worry, Anderson is the most outstanding genius in our North Sea region. He will definitely pass the test."

"Hopefully!"

The highest leader of the North Sea region nodded and said nothing more.

Anderson is the best of the five from the North Sea.

It can be said that the hopes of the North Sea region are basically placed on him.

Just as everyone was discussing in hushed tones, Li Qingxuan slowly walked to the center of the crowd.

With his arrival, the crowd fell completely silent. [First of all, congratulations everyone on successfully arriving at Origin Academy!]

Next, you will face the final test.

If you pass this final test, you will successfully enter the academy!

Li Qingxuan smiled and continued:
Of course, there will also be rewards for the final assessment!

[First Place: 20 Contribution Points, Second Place: 15 Contribution Points, Third Place: 10 Contribution Points, Fourth and Fifth Place: 5 Contribution Points!]

Upon hearing this, Kolster and his companions, who were watching from behind, couldn't help but curse under their breath.

"Damn, even the rewards for the final assessment have increased!"

Keep in mind that even if you get two first places, you'll only get 20 contribution points in the end.

This year, however, the number has doubled.

If Huangfu Yao gets first place in the final assessment, he will be able to get 40 contribution points before even enrolling.

It's really unfair!

"Hehe, if we were the same last year as this year, you would only fall further behind Nangong Hong and the others!"

Lillian glanced at it and spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Kolster was speechless for a moment.

indeed.

No matter how high the reward, they have no chance of getting it.

In this situation, the more rewards there are, the greater the gap will become!
"However, with such high rewards for these people this year, their cultivation speed will probably be extremely fast!"

Beside her, Erica continued with a solemn expression:
"If someone else displays the same talent as Nangong Hong and Ji Xuan, they might be able to catch up with us."

"What are you thinking about?"

Kolster couldn't help but scoff.

"Even if they are geniuses, it will still take them a year to reach the Innate Realm."

"By then, we might have already reached the Transcendent Realm!"

Admittedly, it's possible for someone to have 30 or even 40 contribution points right from the start.

Breaking through to the second level of Body Tempering would indeed be very fast.

However, if one cannot demonstrate strong martial arts talent later on, the speed at which one gains contribution points will naturally slow down.

Jiang Zhe and Payne back then are good examples, aren't they?

Do you really think everyone is like Nangong Hong and Ji Xuan?

Even if another genius of Nangong Hong's caliber were to emerge, catching up with them wouldn't be something that could be done in just one or two years!
However, that's the point.

Kolster actually felt a lot of urgency.

If he cannot reach the Innate Realm before breaking through to the second level of Body Tempering in this year's academy.

Then the competition for daily tasks will be much greater.

After all, their main source of contribution points still comes from daily tasks.

In this way, the time it takes him to break through to the Innate Realm will increase again.

"I wonder if Huangfu Yao will be able to pass the final test?"

Looking at the group of people in the square, Kolster muttered to himself.

Personally, he didn't want the other party to pass the final assessment.

Even if you manage to get in, it's best not to make it into the top five.

In that case, the opponent would probably be able to break through to the second level of Body Tempering in less than two months.

At that time, he would absolutely not be able to reach the Innate level!
The assessment is about to begin. You have one last minute to make adjustments!

Just then, Li Qingxuan's voice once again drew everyone's attention.

"This year's assessment wasn't personally presided over by the Origin Ancestor?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was disappointed.

Many people also want to see the true face of the ancestor.

But to my surprise, there won't be that opportunity this year!

But soon, everyone adjusted their mood.

The most important thing now is to pass the assessment.

As long as you can enter the Origin Academy, you will always have the opportunity to meet the Origin Ancestor!

in the crowd.

Qin Xue took a deep breath, her tone firm.

"I absolutely cannot let Brother Xia Yuan down!"

……

at the same time.

Hanzhou.

Looking at Qin Xue's figure on the live stream screen, Xia Yuan chuckled softly.

He didn't care whether Qin Xue could pass the assessment this year.

With this little girl's talent, passing the test is only a matter of time.

It doesn't make a big difference whether it's a few years earlier or later.

[It’s started, it’s started! 】

Just then, a gasp rippled through the crowd.

The final assessment has finally begun.

Xia Yuan took in every single expression.

at last.

Nearly two minutes later, the first person fell!
That's right, even the worst person lasted two minutes.

This is certainly not because this group of people has stronger mental strength than last year.

It's just that the pressure exerted by Li Qingxuan was nowhere near as great as that of Xia Yuan.

Therefore, the people were able to hold on for much longer.

Time passes slowly.

More and more people are giving up and collapsing.

By the three-minute mark, nearly two-thirds of the people had collapsed.

Now, fewer than one hundred people are still persisting.

"I didn't expect Qu Yuchen's mental strength to be so strong!"

Seeing Qu Yuchen still persisting in the crowd, a hint of surprise flashed in Xia Yuan's eyes.

"interesting!"

With a smile, Xia Yuan turned his gaze to the others.

Among them, Qi Fanmeng and Sun Xingchen, who had met him before, are also still persisting.

"Sun Xingchen is probably close to his limit!"

Sure enough, as soon as Xia Yuan finished speaking...

Sun Xingchen couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed!
Qi Fanmeng, who is in slightly worse physical condition, is still persisting.

Moreover, judging from her condition, she seems to still have energy to spare, so she may still have a chance to pass the final assessment this time!

Four minutes have passed.

There were fewer than fifty people left in the square.

At this point, the speed at which everyone fell down increased rapidly.

Often, the people who fall down one after the other are only a second apart.

When only forty people remained, Qi Fanmeng ultimately couldn't hold on.

"Pity!"

Xia Yuan couldn't help but shook his head.

Although there were forty people on site, only fifteen of them were from Jiuzhou's assessment team.

If the other party could hold out for another 3 seconds, they would most likely pass the test.

"I can't believe Qin Xue actually passed the test!"

Looking at Qin Xue, whose face was pale, in the square, Xia Yuan sighed softly.

He originally thought Qin Xue had little chance of passing this year.

It seems like passing the assessment shouldn't be a problem!

And the 22 double S-level geniuses of Kyushu.

So far, only 9 people remain.

Among them were even four people who had ranked in the top ten in the first round of assessment.

They are Lin Wenhao, Shao Shuai, Wang Rui, and Zhou Zhengyuan.

It's safe to say that no one could have imagined that Lin Wenhao, who ranked second, would fall in the final assessment!
Three more seconds passed.

With Zhao Jingcheng's downfall, all 12 spots for Jiuzhou have been filled.
