Chapter 40

Amid the hopeful gazes of the many principals on the city wall.

The students returned one by one, the principals queried each other, and among the students there were no high levels; clearly, they had both wins and losses.

Not a single principal truly wore a long face...

So far, the returning students are basically between Level 10 and Level 13; not a single Level 14 has appeared.

"Lu Qingyu, Jiang Chen, and Yue Dapeng—why haven't the three of them returned yet?"

Cheng Rushan began to feel anxious, and his expression grew serious.

According to the situation, the three should have returned long ago.

They shouldn't be delayed to this point without appearing.

"Could something have gone wrong?" the principals began to worry.

Finally, before night fell, they saw the silhouettes of the three.

"They're here, they're here!" Cheng Rushan showed a relieved smile; as long as they are safe, that's wonderful news.

Cheng Rushan used Detection Technique to check their status.

The principals of the other high schools also eagerly cast Detection Technique.

"Yue Dapeng, Level 12, Sword Shield Knight"

"Lu Qingyu, Level 15, Rainbow Mage"

The principals each showed surprised expressions.

Lu Qingyu really reached Level 15, which means she has at least an 80% chance of entering Shenlong University.

Or perhaps 99%; generally, once at Level 15, during the major exam, the examiners assess, and nine out of ten will have no problem entering Shenlong University.

"They must be grinding instances to level up," someone guessed.

Jiang Chen was at the rear of the three, still wearing a Shielding Badge.

But the principals' levels are all above 40, such an item doesn't

have any effect.

Their gazes shifted away from Yue Dapeng and Lu Qingyu.

"The sword shield in Yue Dapeng's hand and Lu Qingyu's staff are both Goblin King's equipment; although the drop rate is low, perhaps they are lucky."

"Gathering such low drop rates is indeed not easy..."

"The luck is truly good."

When they saw Jiang Chen's information later, the principals were completely shocked.

"That is..."

"How..."

"Jiang Chen, Level 16, Necromancer Summoner"

They could not believe their eyes; Jiang Chen had actually reached Level 16, one level higher than Lu Qingyu, and the speed was truly rapid.

Each principal, when they turned on the air conditioning, all heard Siha's voice.

"These top students are truly terrifying; Lao Cheng's luck is exploding this year!"

"Yes, yes!"

"They must be grinding instances, and they keep grinding."

Cheng Rushan gave a light smile; he was in good spirits, and he won this face-to-face contest.

Moreover, if Jiang Chen and Lu Qingyu can both enter Shenlong University simultaneously, it would be a very proud matter for Baiyun City and First Middle School.

Finally, the three returned to the city wall, and Cheng Rushan said, "After you enter the city, go wait on the vehicle; once everyone is back, we will return to school together."

The three followed Cheng Rushan's instructions, all nodding.

Yue Dapeng exclaimed excitedly, "Alright, esteemed principal!"

Cheng Rushan smiled; he was in a very good mood, and in this contest he achieved a complete victory, gaining plenty of face.

As the principal of Baiyun No. 1 Middle School, he hopes he can still advance this year; the future looks promising.

When all the students had returned, Cheng Rushan also boarded the vehicle.

"Students, your safe return satisfies me," Cheng Rushan said.

"Rest well tonight; tomorrow morning gather at school, and we will head to the exam site in Jiangbei City."

The major exam site is not at the school nor in Baiyun City, but in the provincial capital Jiangbei City.

Jiangbei City is a true metropolis, while Baiyun City is merely a medium-sized city in Jiangbei Province.

Each year's major exam is held in Jiangbei City, overseen uniformly by examiners of the Shenlong Empire.

Jiang Chen returned home at night, continued his Meditation, proceeding according to his own thoughts.

He believes he will certainly be able to enter Shenlong University, and if the chance arises, he will also vie for the provincial top scholar title.

Although he previously had no great ambitions for these.

He simply wants to enter Shenlong University plainly.

But after hearing Lin Cai'er and Lu Qingyu's words, he developed a slight interest in the Dragon Clan Academy.

Since he wants to enter Shenlong University, he must certainly join the Dragon Clan Academy.

So many people crowding to get into the Dragon Clan Academy must mean there are many resources inside that greatly aid cultivation...

Early the next morning, Jiang Chen woke up on time.

His Spiritual Power fully recovered, and his whole being was at peak condition.

Exactly 100 Skeleton Warriors were quietly waiting in the Summon Queue, ready for his summons at any moment.

Each Skeleton Warrior, after a 20× Amplify, has Four-dimensional Attributes as high as 5000.

They also possess the two major skills Soul Burn and Corpse Explosion.

Let Jiang Chen be calm and confident.

Arriving at the school playground, many classmates had already arrived.

Yue Dapeng waved his hand vigorously toward Jiang Chen: "Dust Boss."

Jiang Chen walked over, gave Yue Dapeng a slight nod, as a greeting.

Although Jiang Chen was first every time, his personality made him not very popular among classmates.

Moreover, his profession as a Necromancer Summoner made classmates somewhat afraid of him.

After a moment, Lu Qingyu also arrived.

Lu Qingyu's popularity was far greater than Jiang Chen's, and classmates gathered around Lu Qingyu.

Contrary to the norm, Lu Qingyu came to Jiang Chen's side and asked, "Are you confident?"

Jiang Chen tilted his head slightly, as an answer.

Lu Qingyu smiled, "Then we'll meet at Shenlong University."

"Alright."

Jiang Chen said softly as well.

After everyone arrived, Cheng Rushan walked over and said, "These are the Teleport Stones for the exam site; each of you gets one."

"Later you can either crush the Teleport Stone or activate it with Spiritual Power."

"The Teleport Stone will transport everyone to the exam hall."

"Finally, I'll nag once more: during the exam, everyone must first ensure their own safety."

"Safety first."

"Alright, let's begin the teleportation now."

One by one, the classmates activated their Teleport Stones, and accompanied by a streak of light, each vanished.

After everyone had left, Cheng Rushan also activated a Teleport Stone, heading to the exam site located in Jianghai City.

The exam site was extremely spacious, like a gigantic plaza.

Examinees from dozens of cities throughout Jiangbei Province gradually teleported over.

From those cities, the number of participants in this exam reached several thousand.

The teleportation light never ceased.

Examinees from Baiyun City were all placed in the same area.

After a full half hour, the teleportation light finally stopped.

Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, a tall tower descended from the sky.

"Trial Tower activated!"

A majestic voice rang across the entire plaza.

The first‑floor gate of the tower

slowly opened amid a rumbling.

"All examinees, please listen carefully to the exam rules."

"No speaking, no questions; violators will have their exam eligibility immediately revoked."

Solemn voices solemnly echoed...
