189: Section 189

The streets around the entire Martial Arts Exam Center were being tightly controlled.

That's right, the location for the Martial Arts Exam was no longer at the school.

Instead, several exam sites had been designated, which were the Martial Arts Exam Center.

I heard that the personnel at the Martial Arts Exam Center were all sent down by the Martial Arts Alliance.

The equipment here is more professional, and the exam security is much tighter.

There is absolutely no chance of cheating.

When Yang Yong drove up to the outside of the Martial Arts Exam Center,

he saw that quite a few soldiers in military uniforms had appeared there.

Lin Yi just took one look.

He was surprised to discover that the Realms of these soldiers were all quite high.

Even the lowest among them had a 2-star or 3-star Realm.

Among them, there were many with 4-star or 5-star Realms; each one had killing intent in their eyes, exuding an imposing aura without even needing to be angry.

Their bodies were permeated with a faint, almost imperceptible Evil Qi.

They were definitely people who had been on the battlefield.

This made Lin Yi feel a bit strange; this year's Martial Arts Exam seemed much stricter than in previous years.

In previous years, at most, only people from the Martial Arts Police Station would be here.

And they would all be acting slacker-like, not taking it too seriously.

But this year was completely different; even soldiers had come out...

After bidding farewell to Yang Yong, Lin Yi got out of the car.

Holding his admission ticket, he walked toward the center.

Just as he arrived outside the center's main gate, someone shouted from behind.

"Lin Yi?"

Hearing this, Lin Yi quickly turned around to look.

Then he smiled, "Are you all at this exam site too?"

Shen Mengyi, Zhou Qi, and Sun Tao all walked over with smiles.

"What a coincidence! To think we're all at the same exam site? It really is fate!"

Although they hadn't seen each other for only two days,

they still had the feeling of not having met for a long time.

The scenes of them training together

resurfaced in their minds. Just as they were chatting and laughing, preparing to head inside,

a figure rushed straight toward Lin Yi.

Zhou Qi's expression sank, and instinctively, he turned and kicked toward that person.

Bang—

"Holy crap..."

"Good thing I dodged fast, otherwise you would've kicked me..."

Wei Nan had dodged it narrowly.

Then he looked at Zhou Qi with an unhappy expression.

Zhou Qi smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, that was a conditioned reflex just now. I didn't hurt you, did I?"

Seeing this, Wei Nan patted the clothes on his body.

"It's nothing, no big deal!"

Wei Nan's magnanimity actually made Zhou Qi feel even more guilty.

Lin Yi walked over and said with a smile, "Let me introduce you. This is my classmate, and also my childhood friend—a brother I grew up with!"

"They are all my fellow disciples from the Martial Arts Hall..."

Then Lin Yi introduced all of their names one by one.

Wei Nan nodded with a smile, "I've heard Lin Yi mention before that he's received a lot of care from you all at the Martial Arts Hall!"

"After we finish the exam today, it's my treat for a meal!"

"No, no, no, about that kick just now, I'm quite embarrassed!"

"Let me treat today!" Zhou Qi quickly said with a smile.

Immediately, Sun Tao, Shen Mengyi, and the others all started winking at Wei Nan.

Finally, Lin Yi nodded with a smile, "Then let Senior Brother Zhou Qi treat us; he's not short on money!"

"Hahaha, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

The group laughed at each other and walked into the center together.

The facade of the Martial Arts Exam Center wasn't very large.

It looked no different from an ordinary Martial Arts Hall.

But once they truly walked inside, they discovered that wasn't the case at all.

The spacious front lobby was over a hundred square meters.

At this moment, the lobby was packed with students.

They all came from different high schools, wearing different school uniforms.

Among these students, some staff members in work uniforms were explaining something to them.

Just as Lin Yi and the others were curiously looking around,

a man in his thirties, wearing a white shirt and a tie,

walked toward them with a faint smile on his face.

"Students, you're also at this exam site, right?"

Lin Yi and the others nodded, "Yes!"

"You're all clear on the exam rules, right? The morning is for testing Realm and Basic Fist Technique, and the afternoon consists of two major exams..."

The man held a file in his hand and began explaining things to Lin Yi and the others.

These rules had already been explained by Teacher Liu Song yesterday.

There were four items in total: Realm, Basic Fist Technique, and two major exams.

These two major exams were currently confidential; they wouldn't be announced until just before the exam.

Moreover, the homeroom teacher had emphasized that the real scoring items were these two major exams.

As long as the Realm requirement was met, they just needed to give it their all for the two major exams in the afternoon.

If they could also pass the Basic Fist Technique and Leg Technique, that would just be the icing on the cake.

"These are your exam numbers. Later, there will be an announcement in the lobby. When your number is called, staff will lead you into the exam room!"

"Okay, thank you!" Lin Yi nodded politely.

The man smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over the group.

The moment Lin Yi's gaze met his,

a warning suddenly flared in his mind.

Lin Yi was shocked; when he looked for the man again, he found that he had already disappeared into the crowd.

"That man from just now was suspicious!"

After saying this instinctively, he turned to look at Zhou Qi, Wei Nan, and the others beside him.

As a result, he saw that their eyes were somewhat dull.

They were staring straight ahead, as if they had been immobilized by someone.

Just as Lin Yi was about to wake them up,

Wei Nan gave a sudden jolt and came back to his senses.

As if nothing had just happened, he asked, "Huh? What did you say? Who is suspicious?"

Once these words were out, Lin Yi realized that it wasn't just Wei Nan who had recovered.

Even Zhou Qi, Shen Mengyi, and the others had all regained their clarity.

Looking at them, Lin Yi shook his head, "It's nothing!"

Then, like the other students, they all waited in the lobby for the exam.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Martial Arts Exam Center's office,

Yang Yong, having parked the car, knocked on the door.

After a deep voice from inside said the two words, "Come in,"

Yang Yong pushed open the door.

He saw the Old Master, General Guo Wu, Captain Tang Zhan, and the leader of the Golden Robe Guards all there.

Seeing that it was Yang Yong, the Old Master turned back to look at him.

"Has Lin Yi entered the exam site?"

"Yes, I brought him here myself. Teacher, just now outside, I noticed a few suspicious people mingling in the crowd!"
