Chapter 102

Su Yu's score started from zero

and increased rapidly,

quickly breaking through to over 300 points!

"I actually got full marks on the base score?"

Su Yu shook his head,

his face full of astonishment.

Before the exam started,

Shen Shen Tianyu's reminder

had made Su Yu fully prepared.

But now?

"Just one Great Fireball Technique, and I got full marks on the base score?"

"Is this difficulty considered high?"

Su Yu shook his head,

his face full of helplessness.

After all,

although the [Great Fireball Technique], as a formula card, had a construction difficulty inherently higher than other auxiliary Magic Cards,

plus the bonus effect of reaching the 3-star level,

its construction difficulty was not much worse than a Quasi-Epic auxiliary Magic Card.

But this card

was really just the most inconspicuous auxiliary Magic Card in Su Yu's deck!

Now,

he got full marks with just one card?

"Is this kind of difficulty called high?"

"Is this level of difficulty even considered high?"

Inside the exam center,

Su Yu shook his head, looking at the 300 base points on the light screen that had already reached the limit.

He felt that all the mental preparation he had done before the exam was now wasted.

It felt like casting pearls before swine.

And at the same time,

in exam centers across the world, in every city!

In the Many Fusang capital, inside the first exam center,

Uesugi Uesugi Fuchi, who was considered by countless Many Fusang people to be one of the top prodigies of this generation,

capable of competing with the Western Alliance twin stars,

at this very moment,

standing beside the stone pillar, had eyes that were almost popping out of their sockets.

On the stone pillar, the four slots prepared for auxiliary Magic Cards had all been filled.

[Curio Card · Military Strategy Scroll]

[Curio Card · Gale's Counter-Wheel]

[Field Card · Instinct of Honno-ji's Heavenly Fire]

Three auxiliary Magic Cards,

without exception,

were all flashing with the golden light that only Perfect-grade Magic Cards could possess.

According to previous years' standards,

one Perfect-grade Magic Card was enough to get about 300 base points.

But now?

Uesugi Uesugi Fuchi's eye twitched.

Looking at the score light screen beside him,

he felt life was very disillusioning.

"Uesugi Uesugi Fuchi, Many Fusang, Magic Card test: 270 points (base score)."

Three Perfect-grade auxiliary Magic Cards combined

didn't even get him to the competition stage for bonus points,

let alone getting the full 300 base points!

"The standard for this year's Magic Card test is simply too harsh!"

Uesugi Uesugi Fuchi took a deep breath,

forcing himself to calm down quickly!

"Even I, a Diamond-tier, find this test incredibly difficult; the Magic Cards that those Jiuzhou prodigies, who haven't even reached the Diamond tier, can bring out will only be of lower quality!"

"Correspondingly, the possibility of them getting high scores will also be lower!"

"Especially that Su Yu, who is only Platinum 6-star!"

A sneer curled on Uesugi Uesugi Fuchi's lips!

He didn't hesitate to take out another auxiliary Magic Card and place it into the slot!

"Bonus point stage, assessment begins!"

As the electronic prompt sounded,

a cold glint flashed in Uesugi Uesugi Fuchi's eyes!

"Even I needed to use four auxiliary Magic Cards to enter the bonus point assessment stage!"

"That Su Yu from Jiuzhou, I'm afraid even if he fills all the card slots, he won't be able to enter the subsequent bonus point assessment!"

Outside the exam center!

Audience members from all over the world,

as the exam time slowly passed,

couldn't help but discuss it!

"I wonder what the scores for this year's Magic Card test will be!"

"Looking at the previous physical fitness test, the difficulty of the Magic Card test will only be higher, not lower!"

"In this way, the focus of the competition will still fall on the Western Alliance and Many Fusang prodigy examinees! The average cultivation of the Jiuzhou prodigies is still too poor!"

"That's true..."

Many audience members discussed it heatedly.

They were generally not optimistic about the Jiuzhou examinees!

However,

when the light screens in the various squares began to flicker,

these audience members

were still deeply shocked!

"Jiuzhou, Yun Yun Jinglei, Magic Card test: 297 points, current ranking: first."

"Jiuzhou, Sun Yu, Magic Card test: 296 points, current ranking: second."

"Northern Lands, Yasa, Magic Card test: 294 points, current ranking: third..."

One name after another appeared,

making audience members all over the world unable to believe their eyes!

"Is this... showing the final scores directly?!"

"So many people were eliminated before the bonus point assessment even began!?"

"Yun Yun Jinglei, Sun Yu, Yasa... these are all students famous on the global prodigy leaderboard! Although they are at the bottom, they are still among the top 1,000 Magic Card students globally!"

"Even they couldn't last until the bonus point assessment stage?"

"My god, are you kidding me..."

Many audience members

were completely bewildered!

And in the various exam centers,

the various examinees who had been eliminated

also walked out of the exam center in desolation!

Their faces were ugly to the extreme!

Looking at the disappointed expressions of the examinees,

the Grandmasters of various countries

could no longer remain calm!

"The assessment difficulty of this year's Magic Card test is simply too high!"

In Jiuzhou, Longcheng Association,

Sun Sun Yukong looked at the broadcast screen.

In the various cities of Jiuzhou, in the various exam centers, the situation of the eliminated examinees

made his brows knit together.

He said in a low voice.

Just the base score test alone

had eliminated nearly 99.9% of the global examinees!

Hundreds of millions of global examinees,

and until now,

those who had truly made it into the bonus point assessment

didn't even add up to 500 people!

It was even more exaggerated

than in the physical fitness test!

"Hopefully, they can get a good score..."

In the Longcheng Association,

the various Jiuzhou Grandmasters also gasped in cold air,

looking at the screen

at the names of the Jiuzhou examinees who had made it into the bonus point assessment,

but their tone wasn't exactly relieved.

And outside,

audience members from all over the world,

after the list for the bonus point assessment was announced,

could no longer remain calm!

Among the 400+ prodigies who had entered,

behind their names,

without exception,

they were all followed by a [Four] mark!

Some

were even followed by a [Five] mark!

And some prodigies were even more straightforward, followed directly by a [Six] mark!

"These prodigies are really... too miserable."

Many audience members

looked at the examinees whose names were followed by the [Six] mark and said with sympathy.

This numerical mark

represented the number of Magic Cards they had already submitted.

And for this year's Magic Card test,

each student had at most six Magic Card slots.

In other words,

this batch of examinees whose names were followed by the [Six] mark

had already used up the Magic Cards in their hands

just to get the 300 base points.

Once the bonus point assessment officially began,

they would likely be eliminated on the spot!

Sure enough!

The next moment!

On the light screen,

a flicker occurred,

and that batch of examinees who had used up all six Magic Cards

were directly eliminated!

Their scores were also fixed at 300 points!

And the names of the remaining examinees

were also flickering incessantly!

Although their scores were rising steadily,

the Magic Cards available in their hands were not many.

I'm afraid it wouldn't be long

before the winner was decided!

"By the way, how are the Jiuzhou prodigies doing now?"

"Jiuzhou? I haven't been paying attention, I'm afraid it won't be too good!"

"I saw Jiuzhou's first prodigy, Xichuang Qin Yue! She also used her fourth Magic Card! Her score has now risen to 360 points!"

"What about the others?"

"The others... I didn't see them, it seems they've already been eliminated?"

Because of Su Yu,

many audience members

had maintained a certain level of attention on Jiuzhou.

But seeing the harsh standards of the Magic Card test,

this attention gradually faded.

After all,

"Even the Western Alliance twin stars, the two great Many Fusang prodigies, those Diamond 3-star and above examinees, all used three auxiliary Magic Cards to enter the bonus point assessment."

"Student Su Yu, I'm afraid he hasn't even passed the base score test yet!"

Some audience members couldn't help but shake their heads and say,

leading many to agree!

And just at this moment!

In Shen Tianyu City, inside the exam center!

Su Yu

had finally decided on the Magic Card he would place next!

"The second Magic Card, let's use this one."

Su Yu raised his hand gently

and pressed a formula card onto the slot!

"Hum—"
