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

The next day, early in the morning.

Xu Yi and his group, along with freshmen from the other three universities, arrived at the massive martial arts arena of Taiyue Academy.

As soon as everyone entered the training ground, their attention was immediately drawn to it—

On one side of the training ground, a murderous aura filled the sky, and roars echoed endlessly.

There were hundreds of purple zombies!

All the purple zombies were chained up. As soon as they saw so many people coming in, they bared their teeth and claws, their eyes turning red.

Looking around, it was a dense, dark mass, enough to make one's scalp tingle.

"So many purple zombies! Taiyue Academy is really going all out. What exactly is the content of this test?"

Wang Qiang gasped.

Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing the differences between these purple zombies.

Some of them had a relatively thin aura, indicating that they had only recently advanced in their cultivation.

Some were extremely concentrated, and even their purplish-gray skin turned slightly white, looking like they were about to advance to the White Zombie stage!

The test for the four prefectures was conducted by the vice dean of Taiyue Academy, a tall, serious-looking middle-aged man named Feng Tong.

His gaze swept over the new student representatives from the four prefectures below, and his voice resounded throughout the hall:

"Welcome, students, to Taiyue Academy for this year's joint quiz for freshmen from the four prefectures."

"This quiz is intended for exchange and learning. I hope you will all showcase the talent and spirit of freshmen from our four universities!"

"The testing method is simple: every new student will have to fight these purple zombies!"

"The strength of the purple zombies is divided into ten rounds, increasing with each round. The first round of 40 purple zombies have just advanced, their murderous aura just beginning to show. By the tenth round, the purple zombies are overflowing with murderous aura, only a hair's breadth away from becoming white zombies!"

"Those who persist for more rounds and perform better will receive corresponding rewards from Taiyue Academy."

The freshmen quickly figured out the rules of the quiz.

It's just about going down into battle against zombies!

There are ten rounds of zombies in total. Whoever lasts the most rounds will have the best score.

"Oh, right!"

But just then, Feng Tong seemed to remember something and suddenly added:

"One more rule needs to be added: no one is allowed to use glutinous rice!"

Upon hearing this, many freshmen paused for a moment, then silently put down their backpacks or the bags in their pockets.

Even Wang Qiang and Qian Jinyan were no exception; they exchanged a glance and dropped the glutinous rice they were carrying.

It's not that we're trying to take shortcuts, the key is that glutinous rice is just so good!

These days, when a low-level sequence user goes out, don't they carry a few handfuls of glutinous rice with them?

"If there are no problems, let's begin the four-prefecture quiz!"

After everyone put down the glutinous rice they had brought with them, Feng Tong continued:

"As the host, let ten freshmen from Taiyue Academy enter first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand.

"Boom!"

In the training ground, the earth shook violently in an instant.

Then, ten huge stone arenas gradually rose from the ground!

"Students, feel free to use your skills. These arenas are all within my domain. If you admit defeat or face mortal danger, I can save you immediately," Feng Tong reminded them.

Immediately, ten freshmen from Taiyue Academy walked towards the ten circular arenas.

At the same time, the staff of Taiyue Academy also sent the ten purple zombies in the front row of the purple zombie group to a separate arena.

These purple zombies from the same batch were all carefully selected by Taiyue Academy, and the differences in their strength and malevolent aura are almost negligible.

"Look, that should be Zhang Wei!"

In the stands, Wang Qiang pointed to the young man in the black jacket on the first arena and whispered.

Xu Yi also turned his attention to this person.

He looks very ordinary, and his demeanor is also quite ordinary.

The only difference is that he gives people a sense of "steadiness", as if he is always rooted in the ground.

"Ready? Let's begin."

Feng Tong waved his hand.

"Snap!"

The chains binding these purple zombies snapped instantly.

"roar!"

With the restraints removed, the purple zombies immediately charged towards the ten freshmen of Taiyue Academy.

The battle erupted instantly!

Various colors of psionic light shone on the arena.

Those who can represent Taiyue Academy are all top students, and the first round of purple zombies will not pose much of a threat to them.

The ten freshmen quickly overpowered the purple zombie.

"Watch the game closely and learn about their skills and fighting style."

In the spectator stands of Dragon Tiger Academy, Lin Shuang suddenly spoke up:

"You are all among the best of this year's freshmen. Although you are not from the same university, you are very likely to be teammates with each other in the Zombie Domain. Understanding each other's skills will make it easier to cooperate in the Zombie Domain in the future."

"Okay, Teacher Lin!"

Everyone then understood why the Four Prefectures Quiz was conducted in this way.

They immediately began to watch the game more attentively.

Besides the other nine people, Xu Yi also paid special attention to Zhang Wei's battle.

This person is indeed quite extraordinary.

Before the purple zombie opposite him could jump a few steps, it was as if it was instantly pressed to the ground by gravity.

The force was so great that even the ground slightly collapsed!

Zhang Wei then casually stepped forward and killed the purple zombie with a few punches.

"It's somewhat like my talisman."

Xu Yi silently commented.

After advancing to the second rank, his talisman should be able to achieve the same result.

However, the difference is that Zhang Wei should be using a gravity effect.

The increased gravity around them made it difficult for the purple zombie to move.

One's own talisman inflicts negative status effects on the purple zombie; whether it's better or worse depends on the specific situation.

After Zhang Wei finished his fight first, the other arenas soon followed suit.

All freshmen at Taiyue Academy advanced to the next round.

Next up were Wuling Academy and Kunlun Academy, where, unsurprisingly, all members advanced.

Dragon Tiger Academy is ranked last.

After Xu Yi entered the arena, he easily killed the purple zombie with a palm lightning spell, then stood aside and waited for the others to finish the competition.

Soon, all members of Dragon Tiger Academy also advanced.

Upon returning to the audience seats, staff from Taiyue Academy immediately brought over psychic energy recovery potions.

In this round, no freshmen from the four universities were left behind.

After all, they are all top ten students from their respective universities. It would be a real joke if they failed in the first round.

Then came the second round, the third round, the fourth round...

"what!"

In the fifth round, the first student was finally eliminated.

A fire-attribute freshman from the Five Ridges Academy unleashed a raging flame that ignited the purple zombie opposite him, but he couldn't kill it immediately.

The purple zombie, engulfed in flames, was about to forcefully pounce on him and kill him.

Fortunately, Feng Tong, who was outside the arena, gave a light snort, and a stone cage instantly rose from the ground, trapping the purple zombie and saving him.

But this new student has also been eliminated.

This triggered a chain reaction, and students began to be eliminated one after another.

At this point, the difficulty begins to increase dramatically.

The purple zombie's malevolent aura became increasingly concentrated, and its claws and teeth grew ever sharper.

By the end of the seventh round, each academy had only about half of its students remaining.

Only four people remain at Dragon Tiger Academy.

Xu Yi's outcome was naturally without any suspense.

Wang Qiang relied on his lightning-attribute sequence to restrain the zombies, and Qian Jinyan relied on the strength of his Undying Body to pass the test steadily.

The remaining freshman was already struggling, panting and pale.

In the audience, Lin Shuang shook her head slightly.

It's a pity that Wang He insisted on challenging Xu Yi and was eliminated.

Otherwise, there should still be five people left in Dragon Tiger Academy.

In the blink of an eye, the eighth round ended.

The other three universities have three students remaining, while Dragon Tiger Academy has only two.

Qian Jinyan was eliminated.

There's no way around it; with his physique, even with a spiritual energy recovery potion, he still needs a lot of time to recover his strength.

He fought the purple zombie in the eighth round for a full ten minutes, but he couldn't break through and had to admit defeat.

Although Wang Qiang passed the test, he was also in great pain, panting heavily, and said to Xu Yi beside him with a wry smile:

"Old Xu, I feel like I'm nearing my limit. I'm afraid I'll have a tough time in the ninth round."

The purple zombie in the ninth level had turned slightly white, and its murderous aura was soaring to the sky. It was more than one level stronger than the zombies in front of it!

Of course, it wasn't just Wang Qiang; students from other universities weren't in a good state either.

At this moment, everyone else was observing the situation of others.

Everyone noticed that only two people were truly relaxed throughout the entire event.

Zhang Wei from Taiyue Academy.

Xu Yi from Longhu Academy.

In an instant, all eyes in the room naturally and subconsciously focused on the two of them!
