A global zombie apocalypse has occurred, and you say the Taoist sequence is useless?

"Xu...Xu Yi?"

Jiang Sheng and Zhou Hang both widened their eyes in shock, unable to hold back their gasps, their hearts churning with astonishment!

They would never have imagined that their old classmate, whom they had just been talking about, would appear on the judging panel!

Not only that, but among these dozens of people, the others were actually slightly behind Xu Yi in position.

It was as if he were the one in charge among everyone!

But how could that be!

Wasn't it said that all these judges were top-tier senior students from the four universities?

Xu Yi is only a freshman!

Not only them, but the other freshmen also looked on with curiosity.

Everyone could see that the one leading the dozens of judges was the youngest-looking man in the middle.

Furthermore, they even noticed that many judges looked at the young man with awe!

This made them all unable to help but speculate.

Just how terrifying is this young man's strength?

"Senior Brother Xu, shall we announce the rules?"

After the judges from the four universities stood in front of the new students, Dai Zhan immediately looked at Xu Yi.

"You can host it."

Xu Yi stepped slightly to the side and smiled, "Just let me know if there's anything you need."

"Okay, okay!"

Dai Zhan nodded quickly, then looked at the group of freshmen, his expression turning stern.

"Welcome, everyone, to Taiyue Academy!"

"You are all top students from your respective universities, otherwise you wouldn't be standing here. However, the selection process involving a hundred universities is to choose the geniuses among geniuses!"

He looked around and, seeing that all the new students had solemn expressions, slowly began to speak:

"This year's selection process involving 100 schools will be completely different from previous years. Please look ahead!"

As he spoke, he turned around and faced away.

Everyone immediately looked over.

All they could see ahead were endless mountain ranges shrouded in a thin mist, with nothing particularly special about them.

"Zhenyue, advance!"

But the next moment, Dai Zhan suddenly flicked out a streak of light that disappeared into the mist.

Then, in an instant, the mountains and rivers shook violently!

The entire earth was trembling violently.

Amidst everyone's horrified gazes, the fog slowly dissipated.

Several thousand meters ahead, a massive black mountain peak suddenly rose abruptly from the ground!

In the blink of an eye, it soared into the clouds!

"Is this Zhenyue Peak?"

Xu Yi narrowed his eyes, examining the mountain peak.

Its entire body is black, as if it were cast from black iron, exuding a majestic and solemn aura.

But strangely, it seems unreal, as if it were not a physical entity, but rather a manifestation of some kind of power.

It seems that, just as Hou Fan said, this is the field manifestation of a top-level sequencer!

Dai Zhan gazed reverently at Zhenyue Peak for a long time before turning around and proclaiming in a loud voice:

"All students, begin your ascent towards Zhenyue Peak from here. The boundary is 100 meters from the foot of the mountain. Anyone who reaches this point will receive a reward on the spot!"

"During your journey, you may draw upon your spiritual energy or use any skills you choose. However, interfering with other contestants is strictly prohibited! We, the judges, will be watching your every move, so we advise you not to try anything clever!"

The rules were simple and easy to understand, and the new students quickly grasped them.

They all stared curiously at the black mountain in front of them, quite puzzled.

You don't even need to touch the mountain; just get to the foot of the mountain, about 100 meters away.

Is this mountain so difficult to approach?

"Alright, you can start now!" Dai Zhan suddenly said.

The freshmen were startled and rushed forward in a hurry.

Meanwhile, Xu Yi and the other judges spread out, each keeping an eye on a group of students.

At first, the new students were all very fast.

But when they were about a kilometer from the foot of the mountain, their speed gradually slowed down.

It was as if there was an invisible pressure forcing them to use their psychic powers to resist.

Xu Yi was also in the freshman group, supervising and feeling the changes in his body.

"This is pressure acting on every cell in the human body; it can help condense spiritual energy, stabilize the spiritual apertures, and also temper the body and strengthen the bones!"

Xu Yi's eyes gradually brightened.

Hou Fan's statement that Zhenyue Peak can tap into human potential and increase cultivation speed is absolutely correct!

He also understood the principles behind this selection process involving 100 schools.

The higher the potential of a new student, the less pressure they will face from Zhenyue Peak along the way, and the more distance they can travel.

Even freshmen with slightly less potential can overcome some of the pressure through sheer willpower and reach the finish line.

The selection process at Zhenyue Peak is far fairer than that of the martial arts tournament.

Students with high potential and strong will will not be overlooked!

As he strolled leisurely, Xu Yi was also carefully examining the pressure being applied to his body.

Although this amount of power was pitifully small to him, it could even be ignored.

But he hadn't even touched the mountain!

If one could climb Zhenyue Peak, the pressure would be considerable!

Even for him, it should be extremely effective!

"Participating in this selection process involving 100 schools was definitely the right decision."

Xu Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

I'm determined to climb Zhenyue Peak no matter what!

……

"Xu Yi, he really is a judge for this selection competition..."

Jiang Sheng and Zhou Hang happened to be assigned to the batch supervised by Xu Yi.

The two advanced one on the left and one on the right, but their eyes couldn't help but stay glued to Xu Yi.

This is fucking dreamlike!

It's like everyone else is listening to the leader speak, but you go up and pick up the microphone to start speaking!

Anyone would be confused in that situation.

"Why are you looking at me? Do I have an end point on my face?"

Xu Yi noticed their unusual behavior and his expression immediately darkened as he spoke.

In such an important occasion, why are these two not focused on the selection competition, but on themselves instead?

Are you still half asleep?

"Oh!"

Jiang Sheng and Zhou Hang then suddenly realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly.

Yes, it's a selection process involving 100 schools!

This is related to your future!

They quickly composed themselves and focused intently on moving forward.

Time passed slowly.

At this point, most people had reached a point 500 meters from the foot of the mountain.

But this place marked a turning point; people began to fall behind in the crowd.

The pressure here suddenly increased significantly!

Many students were drenched in sweat, their feet felt like they were weighed down by iron blocks, and they could hardly walk.

That invisible pressure seemed to be targeting every joint and muscle of theirs, present at all times, making it hard for them to even breathe!

Jiang Sheng and Zhou Hang were slightly better, but not much better; they were both panting heavily.

"This pressure is too weak, it's practically nonexistent."

Among the crowd, Xu Yi shook his head in disappointment.

The pace of these new students is far too slow!

He wanted to hurry forward and experience the pressure at the foot of Zhenyue Peak!
