Gao Wu: Honey, don't cry, I'm truly invincible!

Outside the door, Bai Qi was impeccably dressed and presented a perfect image.

In contrast, Qin Su had messy hair and dark circles under her eyes, looking utterly dejected.

My roommate is such a lazy bum; he looks like he just woke up.

Cultivation is a time where every second counts. Although these two days are short, they are still very precious, and he actually wasted them like this. Such careless behavior is truly shameful and hateful...

However, on the other hand, his lack of effort is actually a good thing for me; it means I have one less competitor.

I've heard these past few days that the elimination rate for the entrance exam reached 90%. That means out of hundreds of new trainees, only a dozen or so will ultimately stay. It's just too cruel...

However, I am quite confident.

[I've already inquired, and the other trainees haven't made much progress these past few days. The most they've gained is only twenty kilograms of strength.]

[As for me, by frantically grinding through system tasks, I've already reached a strength of 5,000 kilograms in just two days. Heh, I'm now the undisputed second place in the training camp, and I'm guaranteed to advance...]

"Let's hurry, we're going to be late."

Bai Qi was secretly pleased with himself, but remained outwardly calm. He urged Qin Su and then turned and ran outside.

Qin Su followed.

Before long, the two arrived at the training camp's martial arts hall.

By this time, the martial arts hall was already packed with people.

At the very center of the venue stood a huge stone monument, with a group of high-ranking officials from the training camp sitting next to it.

Not long after Qin Su and her companion arrived, Yan Feng slowly stood up from among the group of high-ranking officials.

"Gentlemen, I am Yan Feng, the head instructor of the Tianhe Training Camp. I am here today to witness your glorious moment."

"Without further ado, let's begin the first part of the camp entry assessment: the comprehension test."

"Listen up, everyone. On the stone tablet behind me is an incomplete Emperor-level secret technique. What you need to do is step forward and try to comprehend it. If you can make the stone tablet glow, you've passed and can move on to the side to prepare for the next test. Otherwise, you've failed and can pack your bags and leave."

After Yan Feng finished speaking, he sat down directly. Another old man stood up, flipped through the roster, and called for someone to come forward.

"Using an Emperor-level secret technique to test comprehension?"

Qin Su muttered to herself, and even her expression showed a hint of surprise.

Isn't this a test tailor-made for him?

You should know that one of his talents is related to comprehension!

Emperor-level secret techniques are very powerful, surpassing ninth-tier secret techniques, but he doesn't believe his talent will be defeated by them.

"This assessment is really..."

It's free.

Qin Su shook her head, her nerves, which had been tense due to the atmosphere, relaxed once again.

"Right, Qin Su, you also find it difficult, don't you?"

Seeing him shake his head, Bai Qi, standing to the side, also said with a solemn expression:

"I also find it difficult."

"As far as I know, before the training camp officially started recruiting, most of the geniuses who were even more talented than us failed at this stage."

"This level is the hellish level, specifically designed to discourage students from leaving..."

After Bai Qi finished speaking, his innermost thoughts echoed in Qin Su's mind again—

However, this hurdle is nothing to me.

I've been doing some pre-exam networking these past few days, getting a general idea of ​​the assessment scope from some senior students, and then doing targeted training.

My comprehension has improved to a certain extent, so passing this test shouldn't be a problem.

[As for my foolish roommate, he'll probably make a fool of himself then.]

[Hehe, a fine sword is forged through tempering, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. After so much silent hard work, today is destined to be my day of shining brightly, the beginning of my rise to fame. I can't wait to enjoy the spotlight, hahaha!]

Qin Su gave Bai Qi a strange look.

At this moment, Bai Qi stared intently at the arena, his eyes filled with an eagerness to become famous.

He didn't even notice that Qin Su was looking at him and was trying not to laugh.

"The first one is Lin Li!"

At this moment, a senior member of the training camp, who was proctoring the exam, spoke up calmly.

Although he didn't shout very loudly or use any amplification equipment, his voice resounded throughout the entire martial arts hall.

Soon, a young man strode forward amidst everyone's attention.

With a hint of nervousness on his face, he placed his hand on the stone tablet at the prompting of the old man holding the roster.

Just as he was about to close his eyes to carefully comprehend the secret technique within the stone tablet, a powerful killing intent emanated from it, as if it were the depths of hell.

Lin Li felt as if he was about to die at any moment. His expression changed drastically, and he staggered back dozens of steps before finally regaining his footing.

When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with horror.

"The assessment failed. Next, Wang Han." The voice of the training camp's higher-ups rang out coldly, and at the same time, they picked up a pen and crossed out a name on the roster.

Lin Li's face turned pale; he never expected to be eliminated like this.

The others panicked at this point, including some who were initially confident, but after seeing Lin Li fail, they lost all their confidence.

Panic spread across the training ground.

But the assessment will not stop just because these new trainees are afraid.

The second person to be tested stood before the stone tablet with heavy steps.

He looked a bit stronger than Lin Li, but his fate was the same as Lin Li's. The moment he placed his hand on the stone tablet, he was terrified and retreated repeatedly.

He was even worse off than Lin Li, and when he finally retreated, he plopped down on the ground.

By the time he realized what was happening, it was all over, and he could only leave dejectedly.

One new student after another stepped forward.

What made the remaining people increasingly panicked was that not a single one of them could pass the test. The longest they could hold on was ten seconds with their hands on the stone tablet, and even that was by forcing themselves to endure. In the end, they bled from all seven orifices and collapsed to the ground.

If Yan Feng hadn't intervened in time, that guy would have been dead.

Even so, Yan Feng solemnly announced that the guy was crippled and would have no chance to pursue martial arts for the rest of his life.

Because of this, the others no longer dared to force the issue. If they felt it wasn't working, they would immediately let go and leave. In this way, although they could no longer stay in the training camp, they could still continue to cultivate.

Time passed by, second by second, and no one was able to make the stone tablet shine.

Even the training camp executives who were sitting on the sidelines observing the test started shaking their heads.

at last.

A faint white light shone from the stone tablet.
