12: Tianning Mountain, the college entrance examination begins

Ye Liuyun's words instantly made everyone present focus their gaze on him.

Wang Fujun, the principal of Quancheng First High School, saw that it was someone from his school and turned to look at Zhao Hai, "Which class is this student from?"

"He's a special enrollment student, Principal. The Beast-type A-rank awakened ability user I mentioned to you before."

"Oh, this student has some guts!"

"Yes, this kid is quite reckless." Zhao Hai didn't dare to mention that he had already shown him Vicious Beasts.

Everyone knew about such things, it wasn't appropriate to discuss them openly.

"Who is this guy? So fierce?"

"You know about the Limit Martial Hall incident, right? He's the one who broke the lab."

"It's him? He really is a fierce person."

"In my opinion, he's just putting on a show, he won't dare to go to the mountaintop."

"Does anyone want to team up with him?"

"Silence!"

The military officer coldly shouted, and a heart-palpitating Aura emanated from him.

That was Killing Intent from the battlefield, from someone who truly lived on the edge.

The surrounding whispers immediately ceased.

"You haven't teamed up yet. Are you sure you want me to grant you mountaintop qualification?" The military officer's eyes held a hint of admiration. He had thought the other party wouldn't dare to go.

Now it seemed his strong physique wasn't for nothing.

Ye Liuyun shook his head slightly, a smirk playing on his lips, and slowly uttered words that stunned the five thousand-plus students, school leaders, and teachers present.

"Reporting, sir, I don't need a team!"

Swish~

The students in the back rows all looked in unison at the straight-standing young man.

Don't need a team??

What a joke.

A Second-tier Advanced Vicious Beast, and he'd rely on himself without a team? That's far too arrogant!

Some people scoffed. Lin Yuan also leaned back in his chair, shaking his head slightly. This brash fellow from a small city, did he not know what a Second-tier Vicious Beast represented?

Zhao Hai and the other school leaders exchanged glances. This child... "Are you sure? Examinee, report your information!" The military officer was momentarily stunned, then confirmed.

He had just been quite impressed by his courage, but now, it seemed the other party might be a bit ignorant of his own limitations.

"Beast-type quasi-Martial Artist, A-rank ability user, Ye Liuyun!"

He had seen the file Zhao Hai filled out for him, and he didn't try to argue that his ability was S-rank. His strength would prove itself, and his achievements would speak for him. During the college entrance examination, these big shots would naturally notice something was amiss.

"Quasi-Martial Artist? Ye Liuyun, as far as I know, your school has Elementary First-tier students participating this time, and none of them dare to qualify for the mountaintop alone. Are you sure?"

When the military officer said 'dare not go,' three gazes from the three surrounding areas shot towards Ye Liuyun.

"I'm sure. Life and death are fated, wealth is in the heavens. Since this college entrance examination has set this reward, I always want to try it. After all, for someone from a poor place like me, the reward is very tempting!"

"Good, this is your own choice. Grant him mountaintop access!"

He had only reminded the other party because he was an A-rank ability user. Since the other party had already said 'life and death are fated, wealth is in the heavens,' what more could he say?

"Thank you, sir!" Ye Liuyun looked at the prompt that popped up on his wristband, his heart racing.

After entering Tianning Mountain, he would clear out the small monsters, then accumulate beast points to rapidly enhance himself.

Then, he would ascend the mountain!

Those S-rank items must be his; no one else could take them.

"Ye Liuyun, I advise you not to be too arrogant. Do you need me to help you form a team? My connections at school are pretty good, it's too dangerous for you alone!" Nie Xiaoyu leaned over and whispered.

"No need! A person who isn't arrogant in youth isn't truly young. Besides, I'm going for that S-rank reward."

Nie Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Ye Liuyun's demeanor.

This was simply a classic example of someone who valued money over their life.

Good advice is hard to give to a doomed person. She had already warned him, but he was too arrogant.

"Let me tell you, the three Geniuses from our school were already looking at you with displeasure."

"Three Geniuses? Why are they displeased with me?"

"They're First-tier, and they haven't spoken up, but you, a quasi-Martial Artist, have!"

"Who are they? Point them out to me."

"Lin Yun from our class, Tianli System, Ice and Snow ability user. He's also A-rank like you, but he's First-tier, and his Snow Drinking Blade is incredibly powerful. He's also the last of the three Geniuses.

Then there's Jin Long from Class Four, Beast-type, Resilient Gold Sacred Dragon, A-rank ability user, also First-tier.

And Xiao Xuan from Class Six, Tianli System, Tracing Spirit Fire, A-rank ability user. He's skilled with the Flame Wave-Splitting Ruler and is also our school's number one, one of the two big favorites for this college entrance examination."

Following Nie Xiaoyu's direction, he had already seen Lin Yun. Jin Long, however, caught his attention; he was also a Beast-type ability user, burly and robust, though not as perfectly built as him. And Xiao Xuan had the standard Genius appearance, as handsome as a jade tree facing the wind.

"How about it? Now you know to be afraid, right? If they set their sights on you, then..."

Nie Xiaoyu's words were cut off by Ye Liuyun before she could finish.

"They're just average, none of them are as good-looking as me!"

Nie Xiaoyu's expression was extremely comical; she just didn't know where Ye Liuyun got his confidence.

Xiao Xuan was the school heartthrob!

Ye Liuyun's single sentence left Nie Xiaoyu speechless.

After 9:10 AM, the airship steadily hovered in the air.

Students were deployed to the ground below according to their seats.

Inside the airship, about 800 students still sat with their heads down... After landing, there were five minutes to check equipment. Everyone quickly made sure their weapons, battle suits, battle boots, and so on were in order.

After all, they would be staying in there for a whole day.

The Hell difficulty of the college entrance examination was no exaggeration.

After checking, it was time to queue up and pass through security to enter the safe zone. At the foot of Tianning Mountain, there was a fully armed army. Under their blockade, there was a safe zone. Students who felt they had completed the exam could stay here, and students who actively sought help would also be brought here.

Ye Liuyun slowly passed through security with the team. There were fifty security gates. When it was Ye Liuyun's turn, a security gate next to him sounded an alarm.

"Reporting to the Chief Examiner, a prohibited item has been found, one A-rank short blade."

The military officer who had been explaining to them immediately walked over.

"No, no, I forgot to leave it at home, I didn't mean to bring it."

Unfortunately, his words did not convince anyone.

"Zhang Yifan of Quancheng Sixth High School, your college entrance examination qualification is revoked, and you are forbidden to ever take it again! Take him out of here!"

That student was dragged away by two soldiers.

The school leaders of Sixth High School on the observation deck behind them flushed.

"I advise anyone else who has something, quickly take it out, otherwise you've already seen the result!"

The Chief Examiner snorted coldly.

Ye Liuyun entered the safe zone after passing security. A blue barrier separated them inside. It would officially be lifted at 9:30 AM.

More and more people arrived continuously.

Many people were also found to have tried their luck, over two hundred. These people always thought they could muddle through, unaware that they had already ruined their future.

It's best not to rely on luck. Perhaps it won't be discovered once or twice, but there will always be a day when it is!

Inside the safe zone, everyone began to find their friends and form teams.

After all, this time, fighting alone was too dangerous for them!

Although team combat meant sharing the Vicious Beast kills, at least safety could be guaranteed.

"Ye Liuyun, are you sure you're not teaming up?"

Zhao Yue came up to Ye Liuyun and asked.

"No, I want to try it by myself." Ye Liuyun shook his head.

Teaming up had never been an option for him.

"Alright, but please be careful."

"I know, you too."

Zhao Yue's personality was very good, kind and generous, which showed that Zhao Hai's upbringing was very successful.

"[In five minutes, the college entrance examination officially begins. All examinees, please prepare. Countdown: four minutes and fifty-nine seconds.]"

As the voice sounded, their wristband interfaces split into two: the top showed the number of Vicious Beasts hunted, and the bottom showed their current location and a map with their position.

Ye Liuyun exhaled deeply, and the claws of his alloy gloves extended.

He wasn't nervous, but excited!
