36: Ancient battlefield space, the real test

While the examiners were discussing,

many examinees had already given up.

They shouted that they were giving up and withdrew from the examination.

The waves of monsters were appearing too quickly.

They hadn't even killed a few monsters from the previous wave

before the next wave of monsters appeared.

This caused the monsters to accumulate, making them impossible to defeat.

However, being able to reach the third stage of the examination also proved that their strength was not bad.

Outside the Tower of Trials,

all the eliminated examinees gathered.

They discussed the various situations that occurred during the examination with lingering fear.

"Alas, the third stage of the examination is too difficult!"

"I wonder how many people will be able to pass!"

"You're right, if I had come out any later, I really would have died in there!"

"Through these few examinations, I finally understand the gap between me and the top Geniuses!"

"Speaking of which, even the top Geniuses are being suppressed by Song Ming to the point where they can't even lift their heads!"

"What did this Song Ming eat to grow up so awesome!"

Ma Lou was also among this group of people.

As an Assassin, the large number of monsters was too much of a counter for him.

Therefore, even with all his effort, he only managed to deal with four waves of monsters.

He even damaged two blue-grade pieces of equipment on him for it.

However, he didn't feel any heartache at all.

After all, he was an examinee who participated in the third stage of the examination.

Aside from the five major academies,

other advanced academies should be open for him to choose from.

So Ma Lou had an excited expression.

When he heard someone discussing Song Ming in the crowd,

he immediately went over.

"Of course, Song Ming is my idol, how could he not be amazing?"

"You know him?"

"Of course, I'm telling you, he and I are in the same class, and I know all his awesome deeds inside and out!" Ma Lou said, puffing out his chest proudly.

"Brother, what's your name? I think we're quite compatible, let's be friends!"

"Haha, my name is Ma Lou, you can just call me Little Ma Bro!"

"Little Ma Bro, what awesome deeds has Song Ming done? Tell us about them!"

"No problem, no problem, I'll tell you right now!"

Ma Lou was surrounded by several examinees and began to talk volubly.

He started by talking about Song Ming soloing the hell-level novice dungeon in ten minutes.

Later, he also recounted the story of the Level 30 black tiger they encountered on their way to the examination hall.

Everyone who heard it had a dumbfounded expression.

He had just Awakened his profession less than a day ago, yet he soloed a hell-level novice dungeon.

And the most crucial part was that he was an Aura Master.

Then, the matter of subduing and killing a Level 30 summoned beast.

They found it even more unbelievable.

How was that possible!

Even novels wouldn't dare to write something like that!

Ma Lou saw their suspicious expressions and scoffed disdainfully.

Frogs in a well are like this.

It's normal for them not to believe it.

Anyway, as long as he felt good showing off, that's all that mattered!

Ten minutes.

It passed quickly.

During this time, examinees constantly gave up.

They were teleported out of the Tower of Trials.

The number of screens the examiners could watch also became fewer and fewer.

In the top floor space, only ten screens remained in the end.

The various examinees also reached the final stage of exerting themselves.

They unleashed their last bit of stamina and skills.

Only Song Ming remained calmly seated in his original spot.

The last minute.

Again, ten monsters emerged from the light gate.

However, this time, the aura of one of the monsters was significantly stronger.

This was a boss monster.

It was over five meters tall, with bulging muscles and a lizard head.

Around him were four Beastman Warriors

and five Mage monsters.

The lineup was quite formidable.

However, Song Ming didn't even look at them.

He cast an Annihilation Aura.

Immediately, all the monsters turned into nothingness!

The remaining time was spent waiting for the others.

After all, they were not Song Ming.

They couldn't instantly kill every batch of monsters that appeared!

More than ten minutes passed.

The remaining nine people finally killed all the monsters in the scene.

A majestic voice also sounded at this moment.

"The third stage of the examination has ended!"

"A total of 301 people participated in this examination, and 10 people ultimately passed!"

Whether inside or outside the tower,

everyone could hear this voice.

Whoosh.

The moment the voice fell, it immediately caused a stir in the crowd.

Out of 301 people, only 10 passed.

It showed how cruel this examination was.

And these remaining ten people also qualified to enter the top five academies in the country.

"Next, the results ranking will be announced as usual!"

A ranking list appeared before everyone's eyes.

【First Place: Song Ming, Score: 3610】

【Second Place: Situ Xing, Score: 1410】

【Third Place: Feng Yue, Score: 1365】

【Fourth Place: Ning Wen, Score: 1250】

【Fifth Place: Xiao Hong, Score: 1205】

...

Song Ming was still far ahead.

There was no possibility of him being surpassed by others.

Then, rays of restorative blessing light fell upon the ten people present.

Immediately, their previously fatigued states returned to normal.

Song Ming's mana was also instantly refilled.

"Next, it should be the final examination, the Ancient Battlefield Space, right!"

"That's where the real test will be!"

Situ Xing said confidently, feeling his body at full strength.

"My score should be enough to enter the top 120 nationwide. The Ancient Battlefield Space is the last chance to surpass Song Ming!"

Feng Yue clenched her fists.

"Divine Xia Academy, here I come!" Ning Wen said with determined eyes.

The remaining few evidently held the same thoughts.

However, the examiner's voice sounded at this moment.

"Congratulations, you have passed the third stage of the examination!"

"I know you all have one goal, and that is to apply to Divine Xia Academy."

"But it is regrettable that some of you are destined to leave with regret!"

"Next, the top 120 examinees on the national score ranking will be teleported into the Ancient Battlefield Space."

"To compete for the spots to enter Divine Xia Academy!"

"That is the true test of this college entrance examination!"

The examiner paused.

Everyone held their breath.

They quietly awaited the examiner to announce the final list of those entering the Ancient Battlefield Space.

After a five-second pause,

the examiner's voice sounded again.

"Song Ming, Situ Xing, Feng Yue, Ning Wen, and Xiao Hong, five examinees."

"Please prepare yourselves!"

"In three minutes, you will be teleported into the Ancient Battlefield Space."

"To compete with top Prodigies from all over the country for the spots to enter Divine Xia Academy!"

"Good luck to you all!"

As the words fell,

the examinees ranked in the bottom five showed expressions of disappointment.

They were then teleported out of the Tower of Trials.

The top five were gathered in one place.

Awaiting their subsequent teleportation.

Song Ming's expression did not change.

Everything was within his expectations.

The other remaining examinees, however, could not hide their excitement.

After all, this meant they were only half a step away from Divine Xia Academy.
