Chapter 112

"Give you one sentence."

"Act according to your ability!"

The principal of Shuyuan Martial Arts Middle School paused, giving the candidates time to digest, then took out a small cube from his storage space and said loudly:

"Now, I announce that this year’s Sangyu City Martial Exam officially begins!"

"Candidates with sequences 1 to 1000, activate your teleportation stones now and enter the Trial Cube."

As the words fell, the small cube in his hand turned into a stream of light and shot toward the huge cube in the sky.

"Boom!"

The whole cube began to rotate, as if there were invisible hands manipulating the cube.

Almost simultaneously.

All candidates present received a prompt that they could enter the Trial Cube with just one thought.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

White light flashed frequently, and all candidates within the sequence range activated their teleportation stones and entered the cube.

Li Yao was among them.

At the head table:

Everyone sat around, and in the center was a huge suspended screen.

All the data for this batch of examinees was displayed to everyone through this screen.

"How many examinees chose Master-level or higher?"

The Mayor, Meng Meng Yanghai, who was sitting in the center, asked.

Master-level difficulty is generally only dared to be chosen by A-rank professionals.

The A-rank professionals possessed by a main city can, in most cases, represent the overall combat power of that city.

"Mayor, this batch of a thousand examinees is divided into 342 teams, among which 6 teams chose Master-level difficulty, and one chose Nightmare-level difficulty."

The principal of Shuyuan Martial Arts High School said respectfully.

As his voice fell, seven split screens instantly appeared on the large screen.

Each displayed the clearance footage of these seven teams.

Among them, the screen representing Nightmare-level difficulty almost instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Even more absurdly, there was only one person in the footage!

Seeing the surprised expressions of the principals and high-level leaders,

Jin Hemao, the principal of Shuyuan Martial Arts High School, felt pleased and introduced with a smile, "This is our top student from Shuyuan, Tao Tao Yuanjin, an SS-rank melee profession."

"Originally, with Xiao Jin's strength, he was qualified to choose Purgatory-level difficulty, and I advised him several times, but he insisted on soloing, so he could only choose Nightmare-level difficulty."

Jin Hemao was a burly old man with a face full of wrinkles and gray hair, but he gave off the feeling of being in his prime, without a hint of old age.

Since the Mayor was personally observing the Martial Exam and his student was doing him proud, he naturally had to introduce him well.

Seeing this, the other principals also began to introduce the examinees from their own schools.

"Mayor, this is Wu Hong from our school, an S-rank professional. Although they chose Master-level difficulty, their team's average strength is extremely high. They might be able to clear Master-level difficulty directly, and the points they gain won't be few!"

"Mayor, take a look at this one too."

Everyone was speaking enthusiastically, all wanting their own students to show their faces in front of the Mayor.

The Mayor of a main city is someone even these principals of top high schools don't often see on a daily basis.

There are only twelve main cities in the Dragon Kingdom, and those who become the head of a city are all genuine top-tier sixth-advancement professionals.

Looking across the entire Dragon Kingdom, they can be considered top-tier professionals!

And while they were introducing so many with such excitement, Mayor Meng Meng Yanghai didn't even lift his eyelids, only nodding slightly to indicate he knew.

Just then, the instructor operating the electronic screen suddenly spoke up.

"Wait! There is one more team above Master-level difficulty!"

"He is alone, and he chose Purgatory-level difficulty!"

"Hiss!"

The sound of people gasping in shock was incessant.

You have to know, even in Sangyu City, not every year do examinees choose Purgatory-level difficulty!

Let alone daring to choose it alone!

At Purgatory-level difficulty, not only does the number of monsters increase, but their strength also increases geometrically.

It's similar to the original novice dungeon.

Normal to Nightmare levels are prepared for ordinary examinees.

While Purgatory-level is prepared for those geniuses who can be called monsters, who can easily clear Nightmare difficulty.

The Magic Cube only has 26 floors; some professionals reach the 25th floor, which means they can only reach the 25th floor.

And those true geniuses can reach the 26th floor, because the Magic Cube only has 26 floors.

In order for these top-tier monsters to fully demonstrate their strength in the Martial Exam, Purgatory difficulty was developed.

Even SS-rank professionals need to form teams to clear it.

Soloing?

Even an SSS-rank professional would have to weigh it carefully!

Just as the principals were astonished, Meng Meng Yanghai raised an eyebrow and asked,

"Oh? Is that the Summoner named Li Yao?"

The instructor operating it hurriedly pulled the footage out and placed it in the center of the screen.

When everyone saw the figure in the footage, they instantly understood.

If it wasn't Li Yao, who else could it be?

How could these principals not know of Li Yao, this Summoner who had recently risen to fame?

Everyone looked intentionally or unintentionally at the middle-aged man seated beside Meng Meng Yanghai.

The current head of the Yang family, the highest leader of the Ministry of Education, Yang Yang Lesheng.

He was also the person with the highest status present, besides the Mayor.

Because of his face, they didn't dare to mention Li Yao in front of the Mayor.

After all:

Yang Yang Lesheng's two biological sons both died at the hands of this Li Yao!

Even his younger brother, Yang Yang Jiancheng, was removed from the Star Net because of Li Yao, losing his position as the Star Net manager.

At this moment, everything was explained.

The Mayor coming specifically to observe the Martial Exam was most likely for this Li Yao.

However:

Even for this Li Yao, choosing Purgatory-level difficulty alone, wouldn't that be a bit arrogant?

The monsters in the Magic Cube were carefully selected by them, all of them being extremely difficult types to deal with.

With their strength amplified to Purgatory-level, their power was increased geometrically!

Even a wild Purgatory-level dungeon couldn't compare!

On the other side:

Li Yao, who had chosen Purgatory difficulty, had six beetle-like monsters appear in front of him.

Inside the Magic Cube, detection skills were ineffective; he couldn't check the strength of these six beetles.

As a countdown appeared above his head,

The Void Mantis in the shadows was poised and ready.

【3】

【2】

【1】

The countdown disappeared.

The six beetles instantly spread their wings and charged at Li Yao.

And the Void Mantis was faster.
