218: Chapter 222 Hao Bo and Hao Nan

"Hello, I'm Lu Fu."

Lu Chen replied.

"I come from a very distant place that you probably haven't heard of. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Hao Bo nodded.

He expressed his understanding.

Then, he gestured toward the girl beside him.

"This is my twin sister, Hao Nan. I hope we can all enter the academy together."

Lu Chen looked at her.

The girl had a cute appearance.

Her features were delicate.

Seeing his gaze fall upon her,

she couldn't help but feel a bit shy.

However, she still greeted him politely.

"Hello."

Lu Chen returned the smile.

But deep down,

his mind was on high alert.

This was because there was clearly something unusual about this girl.

He could sense a massive power lurking within her body.

Despite this,

Lu Chen did not use his Mental Energy to probe her.

He didn't want his curiosity to cause unnecessary trouble.

Half an hour later,

the academy gates opened.

Five teachers walked out from within.

Three men and two women.

Each of them radiated a terrifyingly powerful aura.

Lu Chen could tell

that they were all trying their best to suppress their true presence.

Otherwise,

the mere pressure emanating from them would crush the students into mincemeat.

Each of them possessed a base power equivalent to the total mass of at least a thousand life-bearing planets.

They were likely SSS-Rank or top-tier SS-Rank hunters.

Lu Chen watched the teachers.

The five walked to the front of the crowd.

The strongest among them spoke.

"I am Lei Yi, the head of this recruitment, and an SS-Rank hunter."

"The others are teachers Luo Qing, Hua Heng, Gu Huayi, and Ling Sen. The upcoming assessment will be conducted by the five of us."

"I presume you already know the assessment rules, but as per routine, I will briefly explain them before we begin."

"First, we will test your talents. Only the top 300 students will have the chance to participate in the second stage of the assessment."

"I won't waste any more time. We begin now."

He then opened the main gates of the academy.

He led the crowd inside.

The children bid farewell to their parents one after another.

Then, everyone began to follow them in succession.

Lu Chen followed as well.

Soon,

they arrived at a massive assembly hall that could accommodate thousands of students.

Lei Yi pointed to ten devices placed at the front of the hall.

He introduced them.

"You will come forward in groups of ten and place your hands on the devices. They will display your talent and its Rank."

Some students looked excited,

eager to try.

This was because they already knew what talents they had awakened.

The Magic Net System was just like Lu Chen's System.

It gave everyone a personal status panel

displaying their basic attributes, awakened talents, and talent Ranks.

And so,

everyone began the testing in groups of ten.

They stood before the devices

and placed their hands on them.

Each device had a large screen in front of it.

The device number was written below,

while the screen displayed the test results.

Soon,

ten messages popped up on the screens:

Device 1: Innate Divine Power (A-Rank)

Device 2: Thunder War Body (SS-Rank)

Device 3: Shadow of the Night (A-Rank)

...

...

Device 1: Miraculous Touch (S-Rank)

The results were presented before everyone.

The previously noisy students suddenly fell silent.

An SS-Rank talent had appeared in the very first group?

It was a boy with a head full of small braids.

It seemed he had already known

about his own talent.

His expression looked incredibly smug.

His grin was so wide it almost reached his ears.

The expression on his face seemed to say,

"Yes, I am SS-Rank, hurry up and praise me."

Lu Chen looked at them with disappointment.

None of their talents were what he wanted.

He could only wait patiently.

Soon,

batch after batch of students completed their tests.

No more talents above S-Rank appeared for a while.

However, Lu Chen became interested in a special talent.

It was an undead-type talent,

S-Rank.

He left a mental mark on that boy.

He would go find him later.

Soon,

another talent caught his attention.

Shadow Lord.

This was an SS-Rank talent.

He marked that girl as well.

Soon,

six hours passed.

He found another talent he wanted to mark.

It was a summoning-type talent,

SSS-Rank.

This result immediately caused a sensation on the scene.

That boy instantly became the center of everyone's attention.

The focus of all eyes,

he quickly gathered a large number of fans.

Many girls looked at him with incredibly fervent gazes.

Lu Chen nodded.

Good.

He then marked him.

Finally,

it was the turn of Lu Chen, Hao Bo, Hao Nan, and seven others.

Lu Chen appeared before the device.

He placed his hand in front of it.

To deceive everyone,

he had pre-arranged with the Magic Net

to display a fake result.

Soon,

the ten results came out.

As expected,

his device screen displayed an SSS-Rank talent called Innate Sword Bone.

This was the talent Lu Chen had chosen to display before everyone.

Lu Chen thought he would also cause a sensation.

Everyone would surely look at him with fanatical eyes.
