Inside a conference room in a building outside the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

The principals of the five major high schools in Tianyun were seated in their respective positions, along with two military officers.

The large screen in front of them was showing the situation inside the mountains in real time, divided into several areas, with the central area reserved for Jiang Qin.

Although the assessment rules state that one is responsible for their own life and death.

But that's for ordinary people. If an SSS-level genius like Jiang Qin were to perish there, it would be a huge loss for the human race.

Every single one of us here must take responsibility.

A burly man with a face full of scars, dressed in military uniform, exuded a menacing aura, his eyes fixed intently on the big screen.

He is Li Wei, the head of the Tianyun Military Headquarters.

"This year, we have produced some promising talents. In previous years, it was rare to find even one A-level student, but this year we have produced five, including one S-level student, as well as a prodigy like Jiang Qin."

"It seems that this year will not see a repeat of last year's disastrous situation."

The five principals fell silent, as some unpleasant memories surfaced.

Just as schools have different rankings, so do cities.

To provide more cultivation resources for talented students, nearby cities will join forces to hold a campus tournament with generous rewards. At the same time, the student rankings also represent the reputation of the school and the city.

Last year, in the four-city tournament, they suffered a crushing defeat in Tianyun City!

Forget about the top three, they didn't even have a single student who could break into the top twenty... This directly turned the five major high schools in Tianyun City into a laughing stock, making them unable to hold their heads up.

"Tell me, who do you think will win today?"

Upon hearing this...

The principal of No. 1 Middle School raised his head proudly and smiled confidently:

"That goes without saying. Although Jiang Qin has an SSS-level talent, as far as I know, his talent is support-type. It's very beneficial for martial arts cultivation in the early stages, but its effect is minimal in actual combat. On the other hand, Li Yunyan's awakened S-level special talent, [Berserk Body], allows her to fight against Spirit Induction Realm cultivators even in the Mortal Realm!"

"In addition to the five A-level gifted students this time, three of them are from my No. 1 High School. As long as they work together, taking first or second place will not be a problem."

Seeing this guy's smug look, the three principals next to him curled their lips in disapproval.

That old bastard is such a damn good actor!

However, they also felt helpless because No. 1 Middle School receives the most resources every year, which leads students from families with some resources to think about sending their children to No. 1 Middle School.

We simply can't compete!

"cut."

The principal of No. 3 Middle School just pursed his lips and didn't argue with him.

I'll let you pretend for a while. I hope you'll still be smiling this happily when Jiang Qin goes on a rampage.

Jiang Qin currently possesses dual talents, a fact known only to him among those present.

...

At this moment, inside the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

The students have already chosen their equipment and weapons and are heading into the mountains to hunt ferocious beasts in groups.

After all, it concerns the selection of students for the university, and everyone is giving it their all to try and get a good ranking.

Jiang Qin and Zhang Le were approaching a river at that moment.

The surrounding trees swayed, the soil was damp, and the weeds were a meter tall, making it seem as if danger might arise at any moment.

"It's just ahead, Brother Qin."

Zhang Le walked ahead, constantly glancing at the watch-like detection device on his wrist.

The latest ferocious beast detector can detect the location of ferocious beasts within a radius of 1 kilometer. It is very expensive, costing millions of Chinese yuan just for this one piece.

It was originally bought by Zhang Le's father for him to use during his assessment to evade ferocious beasts.

After all, Zhang Le only has a C-level talent and often slacks off in class, so his combat skills are almost zero. If he encounters a ferocious beast, there is a high probability that he will be able to give it a good meal.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy at this moment.

After walking for a while, the view suddenly opened up before them.

Just a hundred meters away, there was a clear river with flowing water. Most importantly, there were about a dozen horned rhinoceroses drinking water by the river.

The horned rhinoceros is considered one of the more troublesome ferocious beasts in the mortal realm.

Its entire body was covered with a layer of black scales, and a thick rhinoceros horn under its forehead shimmered with a metallic luster. It breathed heavily from time to time, exuding a strong sense of aggression.

Even while drinking water, his eyes remained alert to his surroundings.

"Brother Qin, the strongest of these horned rhinoceroses has reached the sixth level of the Mortal Realm. Shall we fight them?"

Zhang Le pointed to the herd of horned rhinoceroses not far away. It was his first time encountering such a ferocious beast, and he was a little unsure of himself.

"Of course we have to fight, otherwise what are we doing here?"

Jiang Qin's expression remained unchanged as he raised his arm.

From here to the horned rhinoceros herd is less than a hundred meters, completely within his strike range.

With a thought, a series of slashes were unleashed.

The herd of horned rhinoceroses, who were drinking water, were unaware of the impending danger when a thin red line appeared on their necks, and then their heads fell into the river one by one.

The clear river water was stained red, and the rhinoceros carcass lay on the ground with a clean cut.

Zhang Le stared in disbelief, rubbing his eyes involuntarily. He hadn't even blinked.

What just happened?

"Let's go, to the next place."

"Ah... Oh oh."

...

The meeting room, where the supervisors were in charge, was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The other high school principals stared dumbfounded at the big screen, not understanding what had just happened.

Jiang Qin simply raised his hand, and something chopped off the heads of those horned rhinoceroses.

Is this correct? Are you sure this is a student who has just awakened?

"Oh dear, my hearing isn't what it used to be. What did you say, Lao Deng? I don't think I heard you clearly. Could you repeat it?"

Wang Defa, the principal of No. 3 Middle School, smiled smugly.

You think you can fool me?

You must be terrified!

If he hadn't received inside information from Ji Xue beforehand, he would probably be staring blankly at these people right now, just like them. After all, dual talents are too terrifying, and he wouldn't dare to even think about it.

Li Wei looked at Wang Defa, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Stop showing off and explain what happened."

"Ahem, it's actually very simple..."

Principal Wang revealed the truth about Jiang Qin's dual talents, since such a big thing couldn't be kept secret. If these people were determined to investigate, they would find out sooner or later.

Upon learning that Jiang Qin actually possessed an extremely rare dual talent, Principal Deng of No. 1 Middle School turned pale and remained speechless.

Thinking back to the boastful words he had just made, he felt like he had been slapped in the face repeatedly.

This thing... it's really good at hiding! It's amazing that it's managed to hold out until now.

...

Having dealt with the horned rhinoceros herd, Jiang Qin and Zhang Le continued searching for traces of the ferocious beast in the mountains.

Although there are detection instruments, the detectors can only detect ferocious beasts and cannot distinguish between lone ferocious beasts and ferocious beasts living in groups. However, since they have encountered them, Jiang Qin will not leave any alive.

After all, even a small mosquito is still meat.

Less than two hours after the assessment began, Jiang Qin had already taken the lead with an absolute advantage in points.

This left those below far behind.

They fought their way through, and as they approached the core area, the ground trembled slightly.

This commotion couldn't possibly be an earthquake; the only possibility was... a herd of animals!

And there are quite a few of them.
