The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

The three team leaders were shocked.

"These guys... their memories definitely haven't been altered. Has the department arranged for their arrest?"

The third team leader's phone rang.

He thought the bureau had sent him to arrest the bandits who were talking nonsense.

Unexpectedly, it was another major piece of news.

"Beastmaster's life force detected in K7 region! Exit the city immediately! Now!"

The person on the phone sounded very anxious.

Beast King?!

How could a beast king suddenly appear?

The third team leader was well aware of the seriousness of the matter.

He dared not delay, so he called his team members, gave instructions to the mayor, and left quickly.

"Team leader, what should we do with the bandits?"

"According to the previous procedure, the police would cordon off that area, preventing anyone from entering or leaving. Then we could proceed with processing the memories!"

"Online?"

"There's no need to worry anymore. There's a big filter; anything related to mutant beasts won't pass the review."

Mayor Luo waved to the group that was running away quickly, "Go on, go on, we don't need examiners here anyway."

Looking out from the shore of the lake, the islands in the distance are shrouded in a light mist, appearing somewhat unreal, like a dream.

On the archipelago, the battle for the stars has officially begun.

Various forms of struggle are unfolding on the islands.

This is a battle without rules.

This means that nobody will play knight duels with you.

Gang fights, ambushes, sneak attacks, betrayal, sowing discord, feints, besieging a point to attack reinforcements, relieving the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao, the empty city stratagem, luring the tiger away from the mountain...

The students' battle strategies were forced out under the pressure of college entrance exams.

However, not all candidates became strategists.

Those with high combat skills should follow the instructions of the smart ones and charge into battle.

The fight on the lake was quite lively.

Yanzu and the others also had a smooth run. The nine of them were all exceptionally strong individually, and when they came together, they were unstoppable.

They still managed to sweep aside teams of three, five, or even ten other candidates.

They don't need any schemes or tactics; they just need to crush their opponents.

If you beat someone until they're bruised and bleeding from their nose, won't they obediently hand over the stars?

Less than an hour into the exam, a large number of the candidates from the island where these nine people were located were cleared out.

The remaining people, now all gathered together, numbered over fifty.

"Listen up, everyone! Those nine villains are too powerful; we must stick together!"

"That's right. In this exam, the strong will prevail. A lot of people will end up with zero stars. It's all about who loses all their stars in the end."

"This means that even if we only retain our initial three stars, our final ranking will still be very high!"

"We have over fifty people. Even if they're incredibly strong, they're only nine of us. We'll take advantage of the terrain of this hill, occupy the top, and fight off those nine of them!"

"If we can't take them down after a long siege, those nine won't waste their time here. They'll definitely try to get to other islands, and then we can help them go and send these plagues away!"

The resistance group finally got its hands on the nine villains.

These nine people have all been corrupted by Edison Chen. They walk with an arrogant swagger, treating their noses like eyes, and acting all high and mighty.

"Hey! These guys know we're strong; not only do they not surrender, they're actually trying to resist!"

"Same rule as always, whoever knocks it down gets the star."

"With so many fat sheep here, I'm sure I'll be the first to collect them all!"

Just as the two sides, whose numbers were disproportionately large, were about to clash.

"Click-clack..."

Suddenly, the inside of everyone's Star Gathering Belts opened, revealing the Abyssal Rock inside. The belts were locked around everyone's waists and could not be removed.

"What's going on?!"

The belt doesn't contain much Abyssal Rock, so it can't completely suppress the professional's abilities, but it does greatly reduce the effectiveness of the candidates' skills and talents, causing their attributes to drop significantly.

"What's going on? Is this thing bugged?"

"Something's not right! How could we all be bugged?!"

"I smell a conspiracy..."

Just then, the small hill at the feet of the resistance group began to shake...

……

几分钟前。

Yunshan City, Yunshan City Institute of Life Sciences.

In the office of Xiao Wei, the chief scientist of the research institute, Zhao Wuji, the elders of the Zhao family, and a group of senior scientists from the research institute were all present.

"Patriarch Zhao, Director Xiao, all the investigation teams from the Jiangnan City Special Affairs Bureau have now left the city!"

Xiao Wei stood up excitedly.

"Very good! The Special Affairs Bureau team at Heart Lake has also confirmed their departure!"

Zhao Wuji stood up and laughed.

"Don't worry, the compass is right there. He saw it with his own eyes; that group left."

Xiao Wei said smugly.

"A severed tail of a beast king, plus a 3D projection in the mist, was enough to fool the entire Special Affairs Bureau of Jiangnan City. These people are so easy to fool."

The "Beast King" that appeared outside Jiangnan City was the work of the Zhao family.

Unbeknownst to the Zhao family, they indirectly helped the Blood Brother group.

With the Special Affairs Bureau's personnel all engaged in dealing with the Beast King, the task of capturing the bandits had to be delegated to other departments, which would take considerable time during the handover process.

An elder of the Zhao family said calmly.

"Although it was just a severed tail, their detectors showed the life fluctuations of the Aberrant Beast King. How could the Special Affairs Bureau not take it seriously? They even mobilized their strongest enforcement teams."

Another elder said.

"A scam is still a scam. Once they realize it's a diversionary tactic, they'll understand it's a feint and will use a return scroll to get back. We must act quickly!"

Xiao Wei nodded.

"By the way, where are the other examiners on Heart Lake? Our cloned mutant beasts initially only had the strength of a first-tier professional. If these examiners were still here, they would have taken down quite a few mutant beasts."

Zhao Wuji revealed a mysterious smile.

"Now, on the lake of the heart, there are only examinees, no examiners. The compass has handled everything properly, and we are just waiting for them to awaken the army of mutant beasts."

"This guy really went to great lengths this time, you should give him a big credit. I really want to know who his host is, that he has such great power."

"What we're resurrecting is their Dark Star's top-tier life-sustaining weapon. Shouldn't he be expected to put in the effort? Let's begin!"

Xiao Wei grabbed a microphone from the table and spoke in a calm, deep voice.

"EX-9001, experiment initiated. Awaken all test subjects in good or above-average health!"

Deep underground in this research institute, cloned mutant beasts, preserved in formalin jars, opened their eyes, which blinked like those of lizards.

"Gurgle..."

Bubbles rose from all the jars, and those dark figures were awakening from their slumber.

Before they were fully awake.

Suddenly, black mist appeared inside all the jars.

Strange symbols and purple lightning surged within the mist.

"Snap!!"

With a dazzling flash, all the mutated beasts vanished.

In Xiao Wei's office, they were watching the underground production line using surveillance cameras.

Zhao Wuji smiled, "Very good. The compass has already teleported all the mutated beasts over. He will distribute them evenly throughout the examination hall. The fear of tens of thousands of people will be collected very quickly!"

Before Zhao Wuji could finish speaking...

A deafening explosion ripped through everyone's heads.

"Boom!!!"

The entire research institute swayed slightly, and dust fell from the ceiling.

Zhao Wuji was stunned.

"What? We just started our operation and the Federation has already attacked? What kind of efficiency is that?!"
