39: Chapter 39 Why doesn't Lu Yuan need to be tested?

Early morning.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the bedroom.

Lu Yuan lay on the bed, splayed out like a starfish.

The Slime was sprawled on his pillow.

Its entire body was flattened like a pancake, its little mouth opening and closing, and a large patch of drool had soaked the pillow.

The Little Skeleton wasn't sleeping; instead, it held a paintbrush, constantly daubing paint on itself.

Its skeleton, which had originally become sturdy and perfect after being strengthened by the demon heart, was now covered in various stains and dense bone seams.

It looked as if it would shatter at the slightest touch.

Seven-thirty.

The bedroom door was pushed open right on time.

"Young Master, it's time to get up."

Two maids walked in; one helped Lu Yuan wipe his face, while the other tidied his hair.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes groggily, then closed them again.

He lay on the bed, letting them tend to his body.

After a while, he slowly regained consciousness.

With a slight shift of his thoughts, he opened the attribute panels of his two Magic Pets.

The two little guys had consumed a large amount of heavenly treasures yesterday, and after a night of digestion, their attributes had improved again.

The Slime's HP had increased to 58,000 points.

The Little Skeleton's HP had also increased to 20,000.

With one knowing only Heal and the other knowing only defensive skills, these two little guys were tougher than a Level 30 Tank class professional!

Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad, the food last night wasn't wasted."

The Little Skeleton placed the paintbrush on the table, tidied up, then stood up and bowed.

"It is all thanks to Master's help."

The Slime, on the other hand, was extremely excited.

"Master, my great blade is already hungry and impatient."

After eating a casual meal, Lu Yuan set off for the exam venue under the guidance of Bai Zhi and Celia.

"Young Master, I have some good news!" Bai Zhi said, her face full of excitement.

"What is it?" Lu Yuan asked.

Bai Zhi lowered her voice, a glint in her beautiful eyes.

"The Master and Madam went to the exam venue early this morning to oversee things, and they asked me to pass on a message before they left."

"There is a direct invitation quota for this year's College Entrance Exam, so you don't need to take the standard assessment!"

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment.

"What's going on?"

"I've been working hard for several days, and you're telling me I've already passed?"

Celia, in the passenger seat, turned her head, her long golden hair shining in the morning light.

"Young Master, although you don't need to undergo the standard assessment, you still cannot let your guard down."

"You might have to face even greater challenges than the other candidates."

Lu Yuan stretched.

"That's fine."

"Let's go see what it's all about."

Upon hearing this news, the two Magic Pets had completely different thoughts.

The Little Skeleton breathed a huge sigh of relief. Safety first. It was best not to have to fight.

The Slime was confused.

"No need to fight?"

"Then won't the Heal I learned be useless?"

Lu Yuan shook his head and ignored them.

His gaze passed through the car window, looking at the streets outside.

The entire Magic City had entered a state of martial law, with teams of fully armed soldiers patrolling the streets and alleys.

On the streets and commercial buildings, there were banners with encouraging slogans everywhere.

"Fight in the College Entrance Exam, change your destiny!"

"Ten years of hard study, draw your sword today!"

"Fight for a beautiful future!"

"The 108th Magic City Professional College Entrance Exam begins now!"

The motivational slogans fluttered in the morning breeze.

On both sides of the street stood fully armed soldiers.

They held weapons, their expressions serious, scanning their surroundings vigilantly.

A tense and solemn atmosphere permeated the air.

Compared to the peaceful College Entrance Exam on Earth, the College Entrance Exam in this world was much more serious.

Because this was a selection process to filter out professionals who could fight against monsters.

It was a selection concerning the survival of humanity.

Central Square.

The square was packed with people; there were candidates coming to take the College Entrance Exam and parents seeing them off everywhere.

"Son, Mom believes in you!"

"No matter how you do, Dad is proud of you!"

"Qianqian, go for it!"

Commander Xu Tianjiao of the Demon Suppression Army was dressed in military uniform and solemnly patted his daughter's shoulder.

"Strive to secure that direct invitation quota!"

Xu Qianqian gripped her staff, her fiery red hair tied into a neat ponytail, her eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"Dad, I definitely won't let you down!"

Just then, a low-key Maybach stopped at the entrance of the exam venue.

Both side doors opened at the same time.

Celia and Bai Zhi stepped out with their long, beautiful legs and respectfully opened the back doors.

As soon as Lu Yuan stepped down from the Maybach, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"The young master of the Lu family is here."

"I wonder if he will get the direct invitation quota this time?"

"Probably not. The direct invitation quota is determined by those above. Even though the Lu family is powerful, they can't influence this level."

Bai Zhi and Celia, one on each side, accompanied Lu Yuan to the entrance of the exam venue.

"Young Master, the exam venue is right ahead."

"You must do your best."

"Go for it!"

Lu Yuan nodded. "Don't worry."

At the entrance, a long, dense queue had already formed.

However, Lu Yuan was a 'direct invitation candidate', so he didn't need to queue and walked directly through the special passage.

The two examiners in charge of security recognized Lu Yuan at a glance.

Their originally serious expressions immediately broke into smiles.

"Hello, Young Master Lu, please show your admission ticket."

Lu Yuan submitted his admission ticket as requested.

He summoned the Slime and the Little Skeleton.

Together, they walked into the security device.

"Hum~"

A pale blue laser beam started from his feet, scanning Lu Yuan and the two Magic Pets' bodies bit by bit.

"Hmm? There is something in the spatial equipment."

The female staff member saw the abnormal data from the spatial detection device and frowned slightly.

"Young Master Lu, according to the rules of the College Entrance Exam, you must take out the items in your spatial equipment for inspection."

The College Entrance Exam had strict rules.

You could not carry equipment with attributes, heavenly treasures, or Magic Crystals.

In short, you could not use power that did not belong to you.

Lu Yuan shifted his thoughts, and a faint blue light emanated from his spatial bracelet.

A huge round bed and a loveseat landed on the open space in front of him.

??? ???

Everyone was dumbfounded.

No, who puts a bed and a sofa in their spatial equipment during the College Entrance Exam?

Were they planning to sleep as soon as they entered the exam hall?

This was too outrageous.

"Uh..."

Although Lu Yuan felt a bit embarrassed, he just coughed and said with a straight face,

"The College Entrance Exam didn't say I couldn't bring a bed, right?"

The few examiners looked at each other.

"There is indeed no such rule."

After some testing, they confirmed that these were just an ordinary bed and sofa, so they let him pass.

"Alright, Young Master Lu, your bed and sofa are fine."

After the people behind could no longer see Lu Yuan, they began to whisper.

"Who in their right mind brings a bed to the College Entrance Exam?"

"And a sofa."

"I've heard that the eldest young master of the Lu family is very lazy and loves to enjoy himself. I didn't have a concept of it before, but now it seems it's true."

"Hehe, what's wrong with that? If I were reincarnated into the Lu family, I'd be even more indulgent than him."

"That's true."

Passing through the long and narrow corridor, they entered the Magic City Royal Academy exam venue.

He heard a familiar shout from the crowd.

"Boss!!!"

Shanji squeezed out of the crowd, running to Lu Yuan's front, his face full of excitement.

"Boss, you're finally here!"

He looked Lu Yuan up and down, his eyes full of admiration.

"Boss, I heard that you wreaked havoc in the Green Python Mountain Range and took down the entire beast tide by yourself!"

"Awesome! So awesome!"

Lu Yuan waved his hand. "Low profile, low profile."

Shanji lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Boss, have you heard?"

"There is a direct invitation quota for this College Entrance Exam, and you can directly enter a special challenge!"

"It is said to be related to the new mode!"

"Now everyone is fighting for this quota!"

"I think this quota must belong to you, Boss."

He pointed to the candidates around.

Lu Yuan nodded with a strange expression.

Is this what privilege is?

Many opportunities are already decided before others can even fight for them.

Lu Yuan patted Shanji on the shoulder. "Good luck."

Subsequently, an examiner took the initiative to welcome them.

"Young Master Lu, please this way."

He led Lu Yuan to sit at the examiner's table in a very flattering manner.

Shanji: ???

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Magic City Royal Academy exam venue.

On the high platform, an examiner walked up.

He was wearing a black examiner's uniform, his expression serious, his gaze like a torch.

"Candidates, welcome to the 38th Magic City Professional College Entrance Exam."

"Next, we will proceed to the first round — Level Testing."

"Please come up to the stage in order and demonstrate your levels."

"Those who pass the test will proceed directly to the second round. Please take it seriously."

The whole venue quieted down, and the candidates went up to the stage one by one.

One by one, they put their hands on the test crystal, and the crystal lit up with different colored lights.

"Liu Hao, Level 2, Rating: F."

"Wang Xue, Level 8, Rating: C+."

"Li Yangyang, Level 4, Rating: D."

Levels were reported one by one.

Most candidates were below Level 10.

Very few were close to Level 10.

"Next, Xu Qianqian."

Xu Qianqian took a deep breath and walked onto the stage.

She put her hand on the test crystal.

The crystal suddenly lit up, blooming with a dazzling blue light.

The examiner's eyes lit up.

"Xu Qianqian, Level 15, Rating S!"

The whole venue was in an uproar!

"Level 15, Xu Qianqian is Level 15!"

"My God, this is too strong!"

"As expected of a Diamond-quality profession, she can actually reach the admission standard of the four major prestigious schools!"

Xu Qianqian walked off the stage, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Subsequently, Deng Tianhao also boarded the test platform.

Hum—!

The crystal pillar erupted with light again.

"Deng Tianhao, Level 15, Rating S!"

Another Level 15!

The whole venue was boiling!

"Deng Tianhao is also this strong?!"

"There are actually two Level 15s in the Magic City Royal Academy this year. Are they about to take off?!"

"The direct invitation quota must be between them!"

Deng Tianhao stood on the stage, enjoying the admiration of the crowd.

He liked this feeling.

This time, he must defeat Lu Yuan in front of everyone.

Let everyone know who the real genius is!

"Wait..."

"Where is Lu Yuan?"

Deng Tianhao's gaze swept across the crowd quickly.

Finally, he saw Lu Yuan at the examiner's table.

He was sitting there, smiling and talking in a low voice to the examiner next to him.

Deng Tianhao clenched his fists.

"Why?"

"Why doesn't Lu Yuan need to take the level test?"
