Chapter 13 Opening Examination
Just then, a clear and firm voice suddenly rang out: "Zhang Lingyun, you dare to touch her and see what happens!"
It turned out that Song Wanning had arrived just in time.
Her eyes were filled with anger and majesty, like a sharp sword piercing straight to the heart.
This imposing aura startled Zhang Lingyun, and his previously arrogant attitude instantly vanished.
Song Wanning quickly walked to Ye Chuxue's side and tightly protected her behind her.
Her gaze was as cold as ice as she looked at Zhang Lingyun and said, "Do you think I'll let you succeed?"
Her voice was deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate one's soul.
Zhang Lingyun's face turned extremely gloomy. He knew that his plan for today had completely failed.
He glared fiercely at Ye Chuxue, his eyes filled with resentment and bitterness, yet he was helpless.
"Zhang Lingyun, considering that your family has made some contributions to the empire, we'll let it go this time. However, 20% of your family's assets must be handed over to the empire. Do you understand?"
"What? One hundred percent, twenty percent?" Zhang Lingyun said in disbelief.
"What, you have an opinion?"
Faced with Song Wanning's cold gaze, Zhang Lingyun lowered his head and said, "No, nothing."
"If you don't have it, then get out and don't ever show your face again!"
Zhang Lingyun had no choice but to lead his men away in a sorry state.
Ye Chuxue finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Song Wanning gratefully, tears welling up in her eyes.
Song Wanning gently patted her shoulder and comforted her tenderly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, he won't dare to hurt you again."
"Yes, thank you, Miss." Ye Chuxue nodded gratefully, tears streaming down her cheeks.
At this moment, she was filled with gratitude towards Song Wanning.
Thinking about what had just happened, Song Wanning frowned, a sense of worry and unease welling up in her heart.
After a while, she finally broke the silence and said softly to Ye Chuxue, "Xiaoxue, the school entrance exam will start in two days. Would you like to participate in the exam with me?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuxue nodded in agreement without hesitation, her eyes shining with determination. "Of course, Miss! I will always be by your side, no matter when or where."
She was willing to follow Song Wanning to any event, whether it was a grand banquet or a small gathering. As long as she could be with Song Wanning, she felt incredibly happy.
Upon hearing Ye Chuxue's reply, Song Wanning smiled with relief. She gently took Ye Chuxue's hand and said softly, "Then it's settled. Let's prepare for this assessment together."
She knew she wasn't facing difficulties alone; with Ye Chuxue by her side, she felt incredibly at ease.
……
Time flies, and the crucial moment of the assessment has arrived in the blink of an eye.
This day was of extraordinary significance to all the students who participated in the assessment. It was not only another major event after the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony, but also a crucial moment that determined the future development direction of each individual.
Therefore, these students who had awakened their martial spirits, filled with trepidation, resolutely marched towards the core area of the assessment venue—the central square.
The central square was already bustling with people, a lively and lively scene.
In the square, people had different expressions: some were excited, some were so nervous their palms were sweating, some were full of curiosity, and some were worried.
The parents prayed silently, hoping that their children would pass the test smoothly.
The teachers were busy maintaining order at the scene, ensuring that the entire assessment process could proceed smoothly.
A majestic trial tower stands in the center of the square, which is the venue for this assessment.
The students gathered in small groups, sharing their feelings, as well as their nervousness and anticipation.
They discussed enthusiastically what type of martial spirit they might awaken, and speculated about the specific content and difficulty level of the assessment.
Some brave students even encouraged each other and cheered each other on, hoping that everyone could achieve excellent results in this assessment.
Amidst this noisy atmosphere, the students who had awakened their martial spirits gradually felt the pressure.
This pressure is like a heavy mountain, making it hard to breathe.
However, these students were not overwhelmed by the pressure; on the contrary, they transformed it into motivation to move forward.
They knew that this assessment would determine their future—whether they would become powerful martial artists or live ordinary lives.
Every student harbors a dream; they hope to realize their ideals and become an outstanding martial artist through this assessment.
At this moment, the entire city of Shanghai was immersed in a tense yet exciting atmosphere.
People flocked to the central square, eagerly anticipating this grand assessment.
Meanwhile, other provincial capitals are also conducting the same assessments at their respective designated locations, and the final results will be ranked uniformly for selection.
For those capable candidates, this is undoubtedly a rare opportunity. They aspire to be admitted to their desired universities, especially the five top universities in the Great Xia Dynasty: Azure Dragon University, Vermilion Bird University, White Tiger University, Black Tortoise University, and Divine Dragon University.
Among them, Shenlong University, as the most prestigious university, is the academic hall that all students dream of.
Being able to enter Shenlong University not only means receiving the best educational resources, but also having broad prospects for development.
Therefore, every candidate goes all out to strive for excellent results and enter their desired university.
Therefore, this exam is a significant turning point in the lives of every participant.
In a tense atmosphere, the examiners walked steadily onto the stage and then took their seats.
The elderly man in the center, with a solemn expression, slowly said, "In this assessment, you will enter the virtual space of the Trial Tower, where you will encounter magical beasts ranging from low to high levels. Defeating these beasts will earn you points."
The longer you persist and the more enemies you defeat, the higher your score will be, and the higher your ranking will be.
The old man's voice echoed in the examination hall, making the students even more nervous. They clenched their fists tightly, their eyes revealing determination and resolve.
"Now, I declare the assessment officially open!"
As the old man finished speaking, the students felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, as if their bodies had lost weight, and then they were transported to an unfamiliar place.
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a virtual space.
It was dark all around, with only a faint ray of light filtering through the clouds.
In the distance, various magical beasts of different shapes and sizes could be vaguely seen.
Some of these magical beasts were enormous, while others were small and exquisite, but they all exuded a powerful aura.
The students gripped their weapons tightly, cautiously observing their surroundings.
They dared not let their guard down, because any magical beast could pose a deadly threat to them.
As the exam began, the students unleashed their martial spirits, and for a moment, various colors of light shone brightly.
These martial spirits include ferocious beasts, mysterious elements, and ancient artifacts.
They hovered above the students' heads, emanating powerful energy fluctuations.
Some martial spirits are as agile as birds, some are as fierce as beasts, and others are like fantastical elves, making them dazzling to behold.
The entire space was enveloped in the dazzling light of the martial spirit, as if one had entered a magical otherworld.
However, among this group of people, a few young people stood silently in a corner, secretly observing everything.
Their expressions varied, each with different emotions and thoughts, each harboring their own ideas and calculations.
One of the young men had a cold and deep gaze, as if hiding endless secrets and schemes.
His lips curled slightly upward, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips, revealing a sense of confidence and pride.
He murmured softly, "It seems this year is going to be quite lively. The princess should come out, which means my plan can proceed smoothly..."
His voice was deep and magnetic, but it was full of cunning and scheming.
He turned to look at the person beside him, a sharp glint in his eyes, and asked, "How are the plans coming along? Are they foolproof?"
"Reporting to you, sir, everything is ready. We are just waiting for the target to appear before we can make our move," the man replied respectfully, his tone revealing his awe of the young man.
"Very good, this good show is about to begin. I hope you can proceed according to plan and avoid any mishaps."
The young man nodded in satisfaction, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"Remember, we only need to complete the plan. Don't get too entangled with the enemy, lest we create unnecessary complications," he emphasized again, his voice carrying a hint of authority.
"Yes, sir!" the crowd responded in unison, expressing their willingness to obey orders and carry out the plan.
As the assessment began, an invisible hand seemed to descend, as if a storm was about to break.
