11: College Entrance Examination Rules and Incentives and Rewards

The day before the college entrance examination.

Ye Liuyun didn't leave the house all day, familiarizing himself with the Fissure Fist at home. Every bit of ability he gained now was a boost to himself.

He wouldn't waste even a moment of his time.

Last night, Zhao Hai called him to inform him of the precautions for the college entrance examination and told him to wait downstairs at 7:30 AM tomorrow. He would send someone to pick him up and take him to school for assembly.

This was already considered preferential treatment. If he hadn't been brought in by Zhao Hai, they wouldn't have bothered to call him.

However, even inside his room, Ye Liuyun could feel that the serious atmosphere brought by the college entrance examination had entered the city. This time yesterday, there were hawkers shouting everywhere outside.

But today, there was not a sound.

Not only that, the sound of car horns on the road was much less... College Entrance Examination Day!

7:10 AM.

Ye Liuyun stood downstairs early, waiting for the car sent by Zhao Hai.

Men, women, young, and old doing their morning exercises frequently glanced over. Anyone dressed like this today was surely a student taking the college entrance examination.

Their eyes were filled with encouragement and admiration.

The news of the increased difficulty of the college entrance examination had spread to everyone's knowledge within two days, after all, this concerned every household.

According to official statistics, more than 60,000 people took the college entrance examination in Quancheng in previous years, but this time, the number of registered participants sharply decreased by almost half, to just over 40,000.

When the difficulty increases, the number of people decreases; this is an eternal truth.

At the same time, Ye Liuyun also saw the official emphasis on the college entrance examination. He stood there for less than ten minutes, and eight police cars stopped in front of him, asking if he needed a ride to school.

Even when Ye Liuyun said someone was sending a car to pick him up, one car still parked not far away, and the first car even gave him a "Vicious Beast Compendium" and two eggs!

This atmosphere made him feel very comfortable.

At 7:25, Zhao Hai's black business car stopped in front of Ye Liuyun. Zhao Yue, as expected, was also in the car, along with two other girls. These two girls were also at the Limit Martial Hall the day before yesterday and knew that Ye Liuyun would be taking the college entrance examination with them.

"Morning, Ye Liuyun."

"Good morning!"

After getting in the car, Ye Liuyun greeted them and then closed his eyes to rest. Occasionally, he would open his eyes and look at the street, even seeing teams of armed soldiers patrolling, and silent aircraft constantly flashing as they patrolled high in the sky.

The level of security was at its maximum.

"My palms are sweating," said the nervous girl in the back seat, wearing a red combat suit and carrying a bow and arrow.

"Tian Jing, take a deep breath and adjust yourself. In fact, actual combat and simulation are similar; it's mainly about your mindset," Zhao Yue comforted her anxious best friend.

"I should have just waited another year and fallen back a grade. This first time always carries risks," another girl with a short saber sighed with endless melancholy.

Listening to their conversation, Ye Liuyun didn't interject. They were afraid, but he was excited.

Perhaps it was because of Godzilla, but he always had a desire to tear these Vicious Beasts apart.

He had felt it when Zhao Hai led them to the Vicious Beast area.

Now, it was even stronger.

At 7:40, the car drove directly to the base of the teaching building. The assembly point was the sports field, but driving the car there would be too ostentatious, and it was only a few steps away, so they all got out of the car.

As a student visiting this school for the first time, Ye Liuyun looked at his surroundings after getting out of the car.

How to put it? Although both were places for education, Pingdong High School and this place were not even in the same era, whether in terms of scale or luxury and advancement.

"Ye Liuyun, follow me," Zhao Yue waved after getting out of the car.

"Alright."

Ye Liuyun followed her around the teaching building to the sports field.

At this moment, many people had already gathered on the sports field, with class signs standing in front of them.

Ye Liuyun thought this school would have at least sixty classes, but in reality, there were less than thirty, with over sixty students per class, totaling just over 1,800 people.

This number was too small compared to the school's scale!

Following Zhao Yue, he quickly arrived at his class.

Class 1 of Senior Year 3.

The homeroom teacher was a lean man.

"Teacher Fang, this is Ye Liuyun. My dad asked me to bring him."

"Ye Liuyun? I'm your homeroom teacher, Fang Lei. Director Zhao Hai has already told me. You can stand in the first row."

Fang Lei smiled and greeted him, then pointed to a spot not far away.

"If you don't understand anything, just ask me," Zhao Yue told Ye Liuyun and then found a spot to stand.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of the students behind.

"Hey, who's that guy? How did he come with Class Monitor Zhao, and he's even standing in our class??"

"Yeah, a connected person?"

"No, this guy won't affect our class's promotion rate, will he?"

"Affect what? He's Director Zhao's special recruit! You know about the Limit Martial Hall incident the day before yesterday, right? This is the guy who did it."

"Hiss~"

A chorus of gasps.

Of course, they knew about this.

"Hey, this guy is really ruthless. I could tell just by looking at his physique."

"It's said to be an A-grade ability."

Just as everyone was discussing, a disdainful voice rang out.

"A-grade? Who isn't an A-grade! Is it that impressive?" The boy in a blue combat suit at the back of the line snorted, his voice not quiet.

His eyes looked at Ye Liuyun with great displeasure.

"Lin Yuan, keep your voice down!" Zhao Yue turned around, frowning.

"Alright, Class Monitor Zhao!" Lin Yuan replied casually, with his arms crossed.

Ye Liuyun, in the front row, had his eyes slightly closed. He naturally heard the voice from behind, but he really wasn't interested in arguing with him.

His mind was currently filled with killing Vicious Beasts, killing Vicious Beasts!

Of course, his indifference was predicated on that being the end of it.

"That person just now is the top student in our Class 1, Lin Yuan, the Snow Drinking Saber, one of the three A-grade ability users in the school. Oh, no, with you, it's four."

Ye Liuyun looked back. The introduction just now came from a girl behind him.

"I'm the Martial Skill Committee member, Nie Xiaoyu. He's not a bad person, just a bit arrogant, and he's pursuing Feng Yue, so that's why..."

"Thanks, I understand. After all, it's puberty."

Ye Liuyun's lips curved. Who hasn't had a restless phase?

"Ye Liuyun, I heard you broke the Limit Martial Hall's laboratory. Is that true?" Nie Xiaoyu's eyes, seeing Ye Liuyun respond, immediately burned with the fire of gossip.

"True."

"Wow, you're amazing! Let me guess, are you... from the Genetic System?"

"Beast-type."

"Damn, what kind of beast? So strong?"

"Beast!"

"Beast? A beast in human clothing?"

Ye Liuyun looked at the tiny girl in front of him, raising an eyebrow. This little girl spoke straightforwardly and had a direct personality, but it just didn't match her appearance!

"No more joking, you stay put." Nie Xiaoyu lowered her head, no longer looking at Ye Liuyun.

Mainly because looking for too long made her neck hurt.

She was 1.6 meters tall... The time reached 8 o'clock, and there were no more scattered students on the sports field.

All the homeroom teachers stood in front of their class signs.

A group of school leaders all waited at the back of the classes, seemingly waiting for something.

Soon, everyone knew what the principal and the others were waiting for. A shadow blocked the rising morning sun, and a huge battleship hovered above the sports field, completely black, like a Kunpeng. People with megalophobia would probably be scared silly by this thing.

It was too big!

The students below immediately let out exclamations.

"An S-grade transport ship, capable of carrying five thousand people! Wow, I'm seeing the real thing—"

An enthusiast immediately recognized it. This was the largest active transport ship of the Great Xia official government.

They didn't expect such a thing to be used for the college entrance examination!

"Class 1, all turn around!" Fang Lei immediately said when he saw the school leaders' gesture.

Ye Liuyun followed, turning around, and then came to the bottom of the transport ship. A beam of light descended, and his body was uncontrollably pulled up. One class, one beam of light.

The interior of the transport ship was like an airplane, all with side-by-side seats.

After the school leaders and teachers came up, they began to arrange for the students to be seated.

The entire process took less than ten minutes, and all the students from the First Middle School were on board. Then the cabin door slowly closed.

Ye Liuyun sat down in order, but this position was not very friendly to him.

After they were seated, the battleship immediately set off, flying to the next school.

They went to two schools consecutively before it was full.

At the last school, after the students were all seated, the battleship did not set off.

A muscular man in military uniform came to the podium inside the battleship, and at the same time, a screen appeared above Ye Liuyun and the others' heads, displaying a real-time projection.

"Hello, students. I am the person in charge of this transport. I am a third-tier Advanced Martial Artist of the Tianli System. You don't need to know my name, just listen carefully to what I'm about to say.

This college entrance examination has six testing points, and the one you are going to is the Tianning Mountain testing point.

This used to be a famous scenic spot in our country but was later occupied by Vicious Beasts."

As he spoke, a 3D topographic map appeared on the screen.

"This college entrance examination will be in a practical combat mode, starting from the moment you enter. The area from the mountain top to the mountain base is divided into three zones.

The mountain base and its surroundings are low-danger areas, where unranked Vicious Beasts are released.

The mid-mountain area is a medium-danger zone, where second-tier and below Vicious Beasts reside.

The mountain top area is a high-danger zone, with one second-tier Elementary Vicious Beast.

The mountain top area is not a key examination area, but this time, the official government has created a realistic environment for you with incentive rewards.

If you ascend the mountain top and deal with the Vicious Beast there, you will receive an official reward: a set of S-grade combat armor produced by Blue Meteor Company, a weapon, and an A-grade small battleship.

You can form a team of four! Rewards are freely distributed! Those interested can apply to me for permission."

Upon hearing this reward, not only the students but also the leaders of various schools couldn't help but gasp.

The generosity of this reward even moved these school leaders.

An S-grade combat suit... and a small mobile battleship!

They didn't even have those!

"S-grade? That's something I wouldn't even dare to dream of."

"The key is the mobile battleship! It's said that you can only get one by making a contribution to the official government."

"The reward is good, but you have to be alive to get it. A second-tier Elementary Vicious Beast is comparable to a second-tier Advanced Martial Artist..."

Everyone's enthusiasm was also doused with cold water. These rewards were more symbolic than practical. Third-tier Martial Artists were something they might not even reach by graduation. Now, facing an opponent comparable to a second-tier Advanced Martial Artist?

Wasn't this just for show?

The officer was very satisfied with the expressions of everyone present.

"While the rewards are tempting, the difficulty is also very high. If you are interested and feel confident in your strength and your companions' perfect cooperation, you can try.

Here are the site conditions and danger warnings.

Next, please open the armrest on your right hand. Inside, there is a wristband. This will display your current area and the names and achievements of outstanding students in this college entrance examination.

You can also call for help. Once you call for help, your college entrance examination will be over!

The examination time is from 9:30 AM today to 9:30 AM tomorrow, lasting twenty-four hours.

Finally, the rescue forces are insufficient. If any of you unfortunately perish, we can only express our condolences and avenge you on future battlefields.

There will be no substantial compensation or handling. Simply put, if we can save you, we will do our best. If we can't, we can't!

You have all signed the life-and-death waiver, so you all understand that dead means dead!

Now, if there are any cowards, you can stay in your seats. Not going down means you are giving up the college entrance examination. Those whose strength is insufficient, don't try to act tough. Try not to go to dangerous areas.

If anyone still doesn't understand, you can look at the screen above; it can be replayed. I have finished speaking!"

Just as he was about to leave, Ye Liuyun suddenly stood up. His position was relatively forward, allowing him to reach the other party.

"You don't need to report in advance if you want to withdraw."

The officer glanced at Ye Liuyun, and before he could speak, he said in advance, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Such a big, strong young man, what a waste of a good physique!

Everyone's gaze also fell on Ye Liuyun.

"Hmph, so he's a wimp." Lin Yuan showed a look of disdain.

Ye Liuyun completely disregarded the strange looks around him and said to the officer, "I want to apply for permission to enter the mountain top..."
