Chapter 155: The College Entrance Exam Begins, Nationwide Live Broadcast!

The college entrance exam... has begun!

In the dormitory of the Heavenly Pride Battalion, Su Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

In his eyes, a faint gleam flashed.

After a quick wash, Su Yu went straight to the plaza.

It was six o'clock in the morning.

There were still two and a half hours until the exam at eight thirty.

Because the exam is held within a city, the members of the Heavenly Pride Battalion still needed to go to the capital of Jiangnan Sheng to take part.

Moreover, the battalion still had some distance to the Jiangnan Sheng capital, so at six in the morning the assembly had already begun.

One by one, the Instructors stood on the plaza, waiting for everyone to gather.

Soon, the Heavenly Pride members of the battalion assembled.

Then, under Jiang Shang's lead, the group marched toward Jiangnan Sheng's capital.

At that moment, the entire Human Race of Daxia became extremely excited.

The college entrance exam, as Daxia's annual grand event, is a day of celebration for the whole Daxia Human Race.

Today, virtually everyone will pause their work and turn their gaze to the exam.

Especially since this year, the exam is broadcast live to the whole nation; anyone can watch its progress online through the Martial Artists Association's dedicated streaming channel.

It prevents cheating and also showcases the splendor of Daxia's Heavenly Pride.

Basically, the top scorer of each year's exam, after a few years, can become a top strong one of Daxia, displaying these Heavenly Pride to the world, on the other hand.

This is to boost the Human Race's confidence.

Saying they are not worried is false.

However, as strong ones are born one after another and the Heavenly Pride grow, they have brought considerable confidence to the Human Race.

"This year's exam has finally arrived, and we don't know who will claim the top scorer this year."

"Indeed, this year's exam is said to have several King-Conferred Strong One disciples, each stronger than the last, making it the most prestigious in ten years."

"Is that so? It only proves that our Human Race is a destiny-favored race; countless Heavenly Pride rise, and even the entire Myriad Races cannot match us."

"I heard that Jingwu produced a terrifying monster, not only forging a Pure Golden Body but also reaching the pinnacle of the Fifth-Stage Pure Golden Body, just half a step away from the Sixth-Stage Pure Golden Body!"

"Hiss, the Fifth-Stage Pure Golden Body, isn't that comparable to the strength of a newcomer to the Flying Heaven Realm!"

"Exactly, you should know that a Flying Heaven Realm strong one can even serve as the Martial Artists Association's president in a major city!"

"Sure enough, this year's prestige is truly terrifying."

Across all of Daxia, everywhere people have already begun debating the outcome of this exam.

Even online, the contest over the exam's result has stirred wave after wave of turmoil.

Huoji Wei De Guoba: "I think the first place this time will most likely be my North King's disciple, Tang Nian Bing! She just advanced to the Fifth-Stage Pure Golden Body yesterday, and with the North King's training, even against the one from Jingdu, she can hold her own in a fight!"

Naibai De Xuezi: "Hehe, you can't say it like that; the Heavenly Pride of my Modu are also at the Fifth-Stage Pure Golden Body level, you have no real advantage, so I think in the end it will still be Modu's Heavenly Pride that clinches the top scorer of this exam!"

Ri Jiu Sheng Qing: "Where have you placed my Eastern region? This year, my Eastern region also produced a top monster, who has even torn through the Myriad Races battlefield and survived the hands of a Flying Heaven Realm strong one. What do you compare with?"

Zhao Ritian: "The Heavenly Pride of my Western region aren't weak either; although not at the Fifth-Stage Pure Golden Body, climbing stages in battle is easy for them. It's not like they haven't defeated Fifth-Stage Pure Golden Bodies, so stop pretending!"

Ye Liangchen: "Su Yu from my Southern region isn't weak either; he's a disciple of the Slay Dragon King, who is the top King-Conferred Strong One of the age. His disciples can't be weak!"

"Su Yu? Don't be ridiculous, I heard that Su Yu is only a Second-Stage Pure Golden Body, such a type is as common as cattle in Jingdu; for him to take the Southern region's top spot, I doubt it..."

At once, someone sneered.

And the mocking person turned out to be Zhao Ritian of the Western region.

The two argued wildly, and the shouting alone reached the level of dozens to hundreds of floors.

"You two upstairs, stop arguing. If you ask me, this year's top spot, aside from that little prodigy from Jingdu, no one else can claim it. Don't forget, that little monster is only seventeen, already a Fifth-Stage Pure Golden Body strong one, and also the Sword Emperor's direct disciple."

Someone sneered.

The IP address showed, unsurprisingly, a netizen from Jingdu.

Online, in the real world, heated discussions kept emerging.

It was all about who would become the top scorer of this exam.

And as the entire Human Race argued, time flew by rapidly.

It was already eight o'clock.

And the Heavenly Pride of Jiangnan Sheng's battalion also hurried to the examination hall.

This time, unlike the Southern region, there weren't many people around the hall; even several Martial Artists Association strong ones were stationed nearby.

After all, this year's exam is broadcast live to everyone, so even with a phone one can see what's happening in the exam.

Therefore, there is no need to be on site.

Besides, once on site, one is under the watch of many strong ones, and any out-of-line action will be dealt with on the spot!

Even inside the hall, Su Yu vaguely sensed one or two traces of Flying Heaven Realm aura.

"The exam truly is a major affair for the Human Race; just one examination hall and they've deployed Flying Heaven Realm strong ones."

One should know that Flying Heaven Realm strong ones in the whole Jiangnan Sheng are literally just below a single person, above ten thousand.

And such people are used to guard the hall.

It shows how seriously the Human Race takes this assessment.

In fact, from another angle, this level of defense is justified.

Within the Human Race, the Myriad Races Sect's thieves' hearts never die; if they attack examinees in the hall, it would be a major disaster for the Human Race.

After all, those in the hall are the Human Race's Heavenly Pride, the future of the Human Race.

Thus, regardless of location, even places like Hengcheng dispatched Golden Body Realm strong ones to guard.

Since there are only so many Flying Heaven Realm strong ones and they also have to look after the provincial capital, a small city like Hengcheng sending a Golden Body Realm strong one is already the limit.

Su Yu and the others passed the identity screening one after another.

Although called a screening, it simply meant handing one's ID to the examiner, who placed it on a device, scanned it to verify identity, and then performed facial recognition.

Su Yu and the others entered the examination hall one after another.

The examination hall was similar to the mock exam in the southern region, consisting of individual tiny rooms for each person.

Inside the room there was a virtual reality headset and a chair.

Wearing the headset allowed one to link into the virtual world, and upon entering the virtual world, the feed was streamed live.

This way, a nationwide live broadcast could be achieved.

The stage of the college entrance exam was similar to the mock exam.

The only difference.

It might lie in the third stage.

Due to various restrictions, the third-stage practical test in the southern region was held inside the virtual world.

However, the college entrance exam's practical test was truly actual combat!

Each time it was different.

Su Yu clearly remembered that in last year's college entrance exam, the practical test directly placed all examinees onto a small battlefield within the Myriad Races Battlefield.

The more Myriad Races powerhouses one killed, the higher one's score.

That time, countless examinees who took the college entrance exam suffered casualties.

Yet at the same time, countless heaven‑chosen prodigies were born.

One just didn't know where this time's practical test would be held.

Su Yu gave a faint smile, cast those thoughts aside, sat quietly in the chair, and waited for the exam to begin.

Time flowed slowly.

Half an hour passed.

Su Yu slowly opened his eyes; his originally somewhat blurry gaze became extremely sharp at that moment.

At that moment, a deep, resonant voice sounded in the ears of all examinees.

"The first stage of the college entrance exam, begin now!"

"First stage, theory test: please all examinees bring your virtual headsets, enter the virtual world to answer questions, time limit two minutes."

"The theory test lasts one hour; after one hour, scores will be automatically determined—please examinees, make every second count!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yu hesitated not at all and directly put on the virtual headset.

The scene before his eyes flickered slightly.

When Su Yu came to, he found himself at the foot of a mountain.

Exactly the same as the previous mock exam.

Su Yu's mouth curled slightly as he slowly walked up toward the mountain peak.

At the same time.

In the outside world.

Countless humans turned their gazes to computers and televisions, while those without such devices pulled out their phones.

They opened the Martial Artists Association's official website and entered the live‑broadcast screen.

In the live‑broadcast picture, it was first pitch black, but then successive images appeared before everyone's eyes.

On the screen was a white leaderboard.

"What's going on? Why can't I see any figures?"

"Yeah, maybe it's lagging?"

Viewers one after another voiced their doubts.

But soon, names began to appear on that leaderboard.

"First place, Zhang Xiaobai, 1 point!"

"Second place, Bei Chen, 1 point!"

"Third place, Tang Nian Bing, 1 point!"

"Fourth place...."

Along with the appearance of the rankings, a small box appeared on the screen.

Inside it, a handsome young man appeared before everyone's view.

"Huh, I know this person—isn't he the little genius from Jingdu, the disciple of the Sword Emperor, Zhang Xiaobai?"

"Yes, yes, I know him too—it's said he's only seventeen, took the college entrance exam a year early, and unexpectedly he immediately secured first place."

"After all, he's the Sword Emperor's disciple—what terrifying speed."

Bullet comments drifted across the live‑broadcast screen one after another.

Soon, Zhang Xiaobai's image disappeared, and immediately another person's image appeared.

"It's Bei Chen! Modu's number‑one heaven‑chosen prodigy, likewise a master of the Five Revolutions Flawless Golden Body, said to be on the verge of breaking through to the Six Revolutions—who knows if it's true!"

Netizens from Modu exclaimed excitedly.

"Hahaha, as expected of Bei Chen—such blazing speed simply gives our Modu face!"

"Exactly, exactly—I look, only two minutes have passed, and Bei Chen already has seven points—how terrifying, averaging less than twenty seconds per question!"

Everyone exclaimed in turn.

Then, the images of Tang Nian Bing, Wu Ling'er, and others also appeared one after another in the live broadcast.

Soon the viewers figured out the characteristic of the live broadcast.

Only those who made it onto the leaderboard were qualified to have their own footage broadcast for the world to see.

Moreover, the ranking list only has the top ten, and each person only has one minute.

This can also be considered a method to increase the fame of the heaven's pride.

"The heaven's pride from Jingdu, Modu, the north, east, and west have all appeared, and even Jingdu and Modu each have two people showing up, so why haven't we seen the heaven's pride from the southern region?"

A cheap bullet comment floated by.

Instantly, it ignited all the people from the southern region.

"***, are you trying to provoke a fight? This is regional discrimination!"

"Exactly, what dog came here barking nonsense? Just because it appears doesn't mean it's not appearing; just wait!"

One by one, netizens from the southern region couldn't hold back their anger and flooded the bullet comments.

"Oh? If that's the case, why don't we see your southern region's heaven's pride on the ranking? Let me say, that kind of place in the southern region belongs to the poorest part of Daxia; what talent could come out of it?"

"In less than ten minutes, our Jingdu heaven's pride has already scored over twenty points, while your southern region's heaven's pride doesn't even show a trace—losing face!"

Some people who think they're awesome are mocking the southern region's netizens in the bullet comments.

Although there are also many trolls in the southern region, others just latch onto a point to say, it feels like all their strength is punching cotton.

They can't exert their strength.

"How come Su Yu is so weak? In the simulation test earlier, wasn't he very strong?"

Some netizens from the southern region couldn't sit still and began to speak helplessly.

"Could it be that our southern region is this weak compared to other regions?"

"Sigh, we here are ultimately unable to produce any monsters; we thought Su Yu could turn the tide, but now it seems he's only going to come in last."

However, at that moment, an unfamiliar name appeared on the ranking.

Su Yu!

All we saw was Su Yu's score behind his name surging rapidly, quickly reaching thirty points.

Tenth place!

Ninth place!

Eighth place!

Fifth place!

In that livestream screen, Su Yu's figure finally appeared!.
