116: Open Wushuang and cut the grass
"Holy crap! That's insanely cool!"
"Quick, take a screenshot! I'm going to use it as my wallpaper!"
"I've already photoshopped an 8K wallpaper. DM me if you want it."
Major forums and group chats were in an uproar once again.
On the rostrum.
Even the principals of the major academies were dumbfounded.
Even Director Zhou Bohao, who had seen his fair share of the world, was slightly stunned.
As the Director of the Education Bureau of Hanghai Base City.
What kind of geniuses had Director Zhou Bohao not seen?
But someone like Li Canglan, who could kill a large swath of Demonic Beasts in a few minutes...
He really hadn't seen many!
Those people, even in Hanghai Base City, were the absolute top-tier existences!
However, those few individuals came from families of Martial Masters or even Grandmasters.
Since childhood, they had all sorts of Heaven And Earth Treasure to eat as meals.
They also had Martial Masters personally teaching them Cultivation Techniques suitable for building a foundation.
They even started learning Martial Skills much earlier than other students.
With so many conditions combined, they were able to pull a huge gap away from the others.
There were even a very small number of students who, because their foundation was too solid...
...had already become Martial Artists before the Great Exam began!
But these were isolated cases and generally weren't compared to other examinees.
Director Zhou Bohao had already received the information about Li Canglan from Guo Kai.
All signs indicated that Li Canglan's family situation couldn't be described as destitute.
It could only be described as barely getting by.
Under such circumstances, Li Canglan could still reach this level.
Doesn't that mean if he didn't lack resources...
...Li Canglan would also have the hope of advancing to a Martial Artist before the Great Exam?
Beside him, the principals of the several major academies wore expressions of sour envy.
"Old Guo, you've really struck gold this time!"
"Did you give this student named Li Canglan special treatment?"
"Wait, Li Canglan... why does that name sound familiar?"
Upon mentioning Li Canglan's name, after a moment of thought, everyone's gaze fell upon Principal Cai Xu, who was sitting on the far end.
If they remembered correctly, wasn't this Li Canglan the student that Principal Cai Xu had expelled?
Too much time had passed; if their memories weren't exceptional, they probably wouldn't have remembered the name at all.
Several people immediately cast pitying glances at Principal Cai Xu.
Losing such a Genius was a small matter.
Offending a future powerhouse was the most important thing!
Once Li Canglan grew up in the future, Principal Cai Xu's hard days would likely be coming.
Principal Cai Xu could, of course, feel the gazes of the others.
But he was helpless and could only keep a livid expression, remaining silent.
Principal Huang Nan of the Second Academy also didn't look very happy.
But he couldn't bring himself to congratulate his arch-rival, Guo Kai!
Fortunately, he had prepared methods for his grandson in advance.
Who would ultimately win remained to be seen!
In the Great Exam Plains.
Li Canglan waved at Zhang Ganchao and the others, who were dumbfounded.
"Don't just stand there, let's keep fighting."
Zhang Ganchao and his group, coming back to their senses, shook their heads and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What Huang Yifeng and the others were smiling bitterly about was that they had originally thought they were only trailing behind top geniuses like Xie Tengfei.
But they hadn't expected that Li Canglan, who had just appeared, not only surpassed them...
...they couldn't even see the tail lights of the other party!
Zhang Ganchao had originally thought that the progress he had made during this period could be considered unbelievable.
Even if he couldn't surpass Li Canglan.
At the very least, he should have closed the distance.
Why was the gap getting bigger instead?
However, they quickly cheered up again.
And charged toward the depths of the inner perimeter.
None of them were the type willing to cling to someone else's leg just to get by.
As long as they were geniuses, who didn't have a bit of self-confidence?
They believed that even without Li Canglan's help.
They could still achieve a satisfactory result in the Great Exam.
As for the others, Li Canglan didn't care.
It was just a passing acquaintance anyway.
He didn't rashly help Zhang Ganchao's side to gain points either.
In the early stages, he could give Zhang Ganchao an opportunity to train.
It wouldn't be too late to step in when the Great Exam was about to end.
In this area, the strongest were only one-star Demonic Beasts.
To Li Canglan, they were just stuff he could slap to death with a casual wave of his hand.
Therefore, he could be said to be completely unperturbed.
In another part of the inner perimeter.
Xie Tengfei's five-man team was dealing with the siege of a dozen gray wolves!
Each gray wolf's shoulder height exceeded one meter.
Sharp fangs flashed with a cold, chilling gleam.
The saliva hanging from their mouths was disgusting.
Each gray wolf had strength that reached the Middle Stage of the Body Tempering Realm!
For the vast majority of examinees participating in the Great Exam, even a single gray wolf would be difficult to deal with.
But Xie Tengfei and his five companions could contend with a dozen gray wolves without falling behind.
Even behind the wolf pack, there was a large gray wolf that was two sizes bigger, like a water buffalo, eyeing them covetously.
Ready at any moment to deliver a fatal blow to them!
Xie Tengfei drew his bow and nocked an arrow, shooting one gray wolf in the head with the force of a thousand jun.
Bang!
The gray wolf's head instantly exploded like a watermelon.
Red and white matter splattered everywhere!
A gray wolf at the Middle Stage of the Body Tempering Realm was actually shot to pieces by Xie Tengfei's arrow!
Xie Tengfei knew there was a drone behind him responsible for aerial filming, so he struck a pose he thought was cool.
Unfortunately, after having seen Li Canglan's "one-shot" style of combat...
...the threshold of these viewers had been raised to an unprecedented level.
Although blowing up a Middle Stage Body Tempering Realm beast was cool...
...compared to Li Canglan killing a large swath in one hit, it was super lame, okay?
"F*ck, change the channel, I want to watch Li Canglan!"
"Exactly, what's there to watch with these little noobs? Going Musou and mowing them down is exciting, alright?"
Xie Tengfei had no idea that those viewers didn't even want to waste a single second of time on him.
"Jia Xiaowen, check that guy Huang Qilin, how many points is the difference between us?"
After signaling his team members to continue hunting the surrounding Demonic Beasts, he looked at Jia Xiaowen.
Jia Xiaowen raised her tactical wrist device and began to check the point rankings.
Then she was slightly stunned, her gaze somewhat vacant.
Xie Tengfei shot another arrow at a leaping gray wolf.
This arrow didn't hit the gray wolf's head.
But it pierced into the gray wolf's lower body.
That bloody scene made the viewers watching the live stream's scalps tingle.
"Holy f*ck, my kid is still watching the live stream!"
"You didn't say anything when he was one-shotting them earlier, but now you're saying something?"
"Look at Li Canglan when he one-shots them, does he specifically aim for the Demonic Beasts' balls?"
The live stream chat room was arguing incessantly.
Xie Tengfei looked at Jia Xiaowen, who was stunned there.
"What's wrong, is Huang Qilin's score very high?"
"No... no."
Jia Xiaowen shook her head.
"Huang Qilin's points are only thirty-eight points higher than yours; you can catch up quickly."
"But, Li Canglan's points..."
...are four hundred and thirty points higher than Huang Qilin's.
