High Martial Arts: Martial Soul Great Sage Equal to Heaven, crushing all races.
Chapter 49: The Nation's Prodigies Gather, Undercurrents Surge
The third day, early morning.
The central square of the Ning City No. 1 Middle School examination site was bustling with people.
Today's focus is no longer on the tens of thousands of ordinary test takers.
Instead, they were a select group of over thirty exceptional geniuses who achieved perfect scores in all three subjects, standing out from millions of candidates across the entire Jian'an Province.
Feng Mo stood at the edge of the crowd, his hands in his pockets.
He could recognize several familiar faces, such as Chu Qiulan, as well as Zhao Tengyun, Xiao Yunfei and others with whom he had crossed paths in the provincial competition.
Apart from Chu Qiulan, the other top geniuses who were once arrogant in the provincial competition now looked at Feng Mo with pure awe.
In addition, there is another group of people who are particularly eye-catching.
They wore matching retro robes, some carrying ancient sword cases, others wielding dragon-patterned spears, exuding an extraordinary aura.
This group of people, in small groups, were clearly divided into distinct groups, and their eyes held undisguised contempt as they looked at the ordinary candidates around them.
They are descendants of clans and families in Jian'an Province.
Even without attending high school, one is still eligible to participate in the martial arts exam.
The reason why all the top-scoring geniuses from Jian'an Province gathered at Ning City No. 1 High School is because Ning City No. 1 High School won the provincial championship this year, and the teleportation point for the peak examination room was set up here.
"Jian'an Province actually managed to produce thirty perfect scores this year? That's ridiculous." A young man from a powerful family carrying a long sword sneered.
"Once we enter the pinnacle examination hall, I will show them what true depth is." Another young man in fine clothes fiddled with his ring, his tone arrogant.
At the other end of the square are the recruitment booths for various martial arts universities.
Dozens of top universities, led by Beijing University of Technology and Shanghai University of Technology, have sent their highest-level admission teams.
"All candidates who scored full marks, please come forward to collect your combat watches!" An examiner dressed in a general's uniform strode onto the platform.
Everyone stepped forward and each received a black metal watch.
The examiner, with a stern expression, continued his explanation.
"The Pinnacle Examination Hall is a vast, independent secret realm!"
"The interior simulates various complex terrains such as mountains, rivers, forests, and deserts, but there are no monsters or beasts present."
"Your only rivals are each other—the 1863 perfect scorers nationwide!"
"After entering the examination room, you will first stay in a safe preparation area for one hour."
"One hour later, everyone will be randomly teleported to different corners of the examination room!"
"Once the exam begins, the safe zone will gradually shrink from the outside in over time, eventually forcing everyone to the central area."
"Any candidate who leaves the safe zone will be immediately eliminated by the formation!"
"Remember! At the very center of the examination hall stands a supreme throne!"
"The candidate who occupies the throne first will have a 'Battle Power Boosting Pill' automatically condense on the throne every ten minutes."
"Taking this pill will permanently increase your combat power across all attributes by 1%! The effect can be stacked infinitely during the three-day assessment period!"
These words caused an uproar in the room.
An infinitely stackable power boost? This is practically a cheat code that will drive people crazy!
"If you are attacked with a potentially fatal force, or choose to abandon the test, the combat watch will automatically activate the teleportation array to safely send you out."
In short, this was an extremely brutal free-for-all among top-tier geniuses!
"Among you thirty-odd people, the last one to be eliminated was the top martial arts examinee of Jian'an Province!"
"Out of 1863 candidates, only the one who stands at the very end, stepping over everyone else, will be the sole champion of this year's martial arts college entrance examination!"
"Now, prepare to teleport!"
The examiner finished speaking.
In the center of the square, a massive ancient teleportation array suddenly erupted with a beam of light that shot into the sky.
More than thirty prodigies entered the formation one by one.
A flash of light, and everyone vanished from their spot in an instant.
The preparation zone is a vast, boundless white space.
A holographic projection appeared on Feng Mo's combat watch.
There is a leaderboard that has not yet been opened, showing the total number of all candidates who scored full marks: 1863.
Of the more than 15,000 high schools across the country, only a handful of students can achieve a perfect score.
Such talent is already a sign of great potential in Ning City.
However, in the top examination hall, there were more than 1,800 geniuses of the same level.
At this moment, although everyone had entered the secret realm, the exam had not yet officially begun.
This is a buffer time for those who are late, and also to curb the arrogance of the privileged.
At the same time, the watch began pushing out information on the ten most watched top talents of this year's competition.
Feng Mo noticed through the leaderboard on his combat watch that his name was ranked fifth.
A mechanical voice rang out in the space, announcing the historical records and cultivation levels of the top ten contestants.
"First place, Zhou Pojun, from the Ziwei Holy Land, second level of the Awakening Soul Realm, SSS-level martial soul 'Ziwei Star', champion of the Central Plains Provincial League."
"Second place, Wang Yan, from the Burning Heaven Holy Land, first level of the Awakening Soul Realm, SSS-level Martial Soul 'Flame Dragon', champion of the Southern Xinjiang Province League."
"Third place, Jian Zhanxiao, from the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Swords, first level of the Awakening Soul Realm, SSS-level Martial Soul 'Sword Spirit', Western Province League Champion."
"Fourth place, Ling Qinghan, from the Xuanbing Holy Land, first level of the Awakening Soul Realm, SSS-level Martial Soul 'Ice Phoenix', champion of the Northern Province League."
"Fifth place, Feng Mo, from Ning City No.1 Middle School, True Qi Realm Ninth Level, Jian'an Provincial League Champion."
……
Hearing the broadcast, Feng Mo raised an eyebrow.
It seems that the information the authorities have about the candidates is limited to their performance in the provincial league stage.
Among the top ten rankings, his cultivation level is shown as the ninth level of the True Qi Realm.
In fact, he was already at the peak of the ninth level of the Awakening Soul Realm.
With only seven days between the end of the provincial league and the start of the martial arts exam, the officials never expected that someone could break through a major realm in just a few days.
At this moment, in the preparation area, the geniuses of Ning City subconsciously gathered together.
Chu Qiulan walked to Feng Mo's side and lowered her voice.
"The four people ahead of you are successors from the four most prestigious holy lands of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Every holy land inherits top-tier martial arts and martial spirits. They are all true third-tier awakening soul realm cultivators. Be careful when you encounter them."
Feng Mo nodded.
Chu Qiulan continued, "That Wang Yan is the most domineering among the geniuses of the four holy lands."
"In the Southern Xinjiang Provincial League, all his opponents were crippled and their martial arts careers were cut off. His methods were extremely cruel."
"Zhou Pojun is the strongest and domineering. He calls himself the little Xiang Yu, but as long as you don't provoke him, you don't need to worry too much."
"Jian Zhanxiao is single-mindedly cultivating the sword path. He has challenged Zhou Pojun many times but failed each time. He will definitely compete with Zhou Pojun for the throne of the pinnacle. He will not cause any trouble if he does not provoke him."
"Ling Qinghan has an eccentric personality and dislikes men. During the league, she will use heavy blows whenever she encounters a male opponent. For you, she is second only to Wang Yan in terms of danger."
"Aside from these four prodigies, the rest should be no match for you."
"Thank you." Feng Mo nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
Seeing this, Chu Qiulan remained silent for a moment before asking, "Are you... planning to go to Shanghai Martial Arts University?"
"right."
Chu Qiulan secretly made a mental note of it.
Since that's the case, she's going to apply to Shanghai Martial Arts University!
