“I passed?”
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. His first reaction was disbelief.
On one hand, he did not know what he had done. On the other hand, Huang
Tingwei’s tone was too dark. It did not sound like he was congratulating him.
However, Huang Tingwei had no intention of explaining. After saying that, he turned around and left.
Wang Xiao returned to his senses and hurriedly chased after them. However, before he could catch up to Huang Tingwei, he encountered Zhou Xiruo and Yi
Han.
“Idol!”
When Yi Han saw Wang Xiao, he immediately waved and greeted, “Long time no see!”
“Ah, long time no see.”
Wang Xiao subconsciously nodded. In the blink of an eye, Huang Tingwei had already disappeared.
Zhou Xiruo did not know what was going on. She came to Wang Xiao’s side and probed, “How is it? Did you pass the test?”
“The Academy Head said that I passed, but…”
Wang Xiao revealed a strange expression. Halfway through, he suddenly looked at Zhou Xiruo. “What happened when you participated in the trial assessment last time?”
Zhou Xiruo thought for a moment and said, “It’s similar to what you guessed. I leveled up and developed in the territory. However, time flows very quickly in this secret realm, and there are all kinds of resources. You just have to keep leveling up.’
Wang Xiao nodded and looked at Yi Han at the side. “Was it also like this when you participated in this training assessment?”
“It doesn’t seem to be the same.”
Yi Han shook his head and said, “Perhaps because my talent is an [Elemental
Overlord], my assessment is to constantly change the attributes of the venue.
At the same time, I have to use my[Lord Talent] to increase my impact on the area… It should be about the same in essence.”
“That’s strange…’
Wang Xiao’s expression became strange. “You all remember the content of your assessment, but I don’t remember anything. I think I only slept for a while before the Academy Head said that I passed.”
“Really?”
Yi Han revealed a surprised expression. “Six people have already passed the assessment before you. I’ve never heard of such a situation?”
Hearing this, Wang Xiao could not help but sigh. He originally wanted to ask Yi Han if he knew what was going on, but now it seemed that there was no need to ask.
Just as the three of them were puzzled, a female voice suddenly shouted from afar, “What are you waiting for? The internal selection is about to begin!”
The three of them looked in the direction of the voice. The person who shouted was Xu Junrou. Beside her was a thin youth of fifteen or sixteen years old. His half-length hair covered his eyes, and his skin was sickly pale. He was the “legendary figure” of the Yuheng Academy—Gao Lixuan.
“Brother Xuan! ”
Yi Han hurriedly waved and greeted, but he did not expect Wang Xiao to be faster than him and had already run over!
“Brother Xuan! You came at the right time! I have something to…”
Wang Xiao took a few steps forward. Before he could finish speaking, he saw Gao Lixuan extend his right hand. He was stunned for a moment before asking in confusion, “What do you mean?”
“100 star coins.”
Gao Lixuan yawned and said vaguely, “We agreed previously that you would give me 100 star coins every month. If anything happens in the academy, I’ll help you resolve it. It’s already been a month.”
Wang Xiao was speechless for a while. He opened his interface and transferred
100 star coins to Gao Lixuan. “Can we talk now?”
Gao Lixuan checked his account and confirmed that there were no mistakes. He lifted his bangs and looked at Wang Xiao. “Tell me, what’s the matter?”
“Training assessment. ”
Wang Xiao pointed at the [Training Ground] not far away. “I participated in the training assessment just now, but I don’t remember the content of the assessment at all. Do you know what’s going on?”
“I do.”
Gao Lixuan nodded without thinking. “Your brain isn’t good.”
Wang Xiao almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He took a deep breath and continued, “There’s nothing wrong with my brain. I’ve also asked the others. They all remember the content of the assessment, but I think I only slept for a while before the Academy Head said that I passed.”
“Slept?”
Gao Lixuan frowned and glanced at the office building intentionally or unintentionally. “Perhaps you’re too tired. The training assessment is targeted at your consciousness. It doesn’t matter even if you fall asleep. The only effect is that you won’t remember what happened.”
“Is that so?”
Wang Xiao revealed a suspicious expression. Although Gao Lixuan’s words were logical, he felt that the other party seemed to be hiding something.
Before Wang Xiao could continue asking, an ear-piercing whistle suddenly sounded in the academy.
Xu Junrou’s expression changed as she urged, “Let’s not talk about it for now. The internal selection has begun!”
Before he could finish speaking, Gao Lixuan had already turned around and ran towards the building where the teleportation door was located. Yi Han and Xu Junrou followed closely behind.
Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo looked at each other. Although they felt a little speechless, they could only follow.
When they arrived at the building where the teleportation door was stored, many people had already gathered here.
Other than Wang Xiao and Yi Han’s batch of students, there were also their seniors and juniors. More than 1,200 people lined up according to their classes, and the scene looked quite spectacular.
In front of this thousand-man army, the academy had already built a huge teleportation door. It was more than five meters tall and wide, almost three times larger than an ordinary teleportation door.
Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo had just found their class and stood up when they heard a staff member shout through a loudspeaker, “Everyone, quieten down! Next, I’m going to announce the rules of the internal selection!”
The crowd fell silent as the staff began to read the rules.
After Wang Xiao listened for a while, he realized that this person was almost following the script. He was far from being as detailed as Tian Gang.
From this, it could be seen that although Tian Gang said that he would not help them cheat, he was actually still a little biased.
Soon, the selection rules were read out. The staff paused and said, “Next, I’ll introduce the sparring venue!”
“This is an artificial secret realm borrowed by the Academy Head from the military. Although there’s only one teleportation door, after you enter, you will automatically be divided into groups of two and assigned to different arenas.”
“The battles in each arena will not affect the other arenas, but I still ask everyone to not go overboard. On one hand, it’s for everyone’s safety. On the other hand, this is an artificial secret realm after all. It won’t be good if it is damaged. Do you understand?”
“Understood!”
More than a thousand people replied in unison. Then, the staff raised a small red flag. “I announce that the internal selection begins now!”
With that, the staff waved the red flag down heavily. Then, with a muffled hum, the huge teleportation door emitted colorful light.
“Charge!”
Someone shouted and everyone rushed towards the teleportation door like ferocious tigers.
In less than a minute, less than a hundred people were left in the originally crowded empty space.
Wang Xiao looked around and suddenly smiled mysteriously. This was because he discovered that almost all of the dozens of people who had the patience to stay behind were the top forces among the students of Yuheng Academy..
