223: Chapter 227 Gathering Talent

Of course.

Lu Chen would not let his guard down.

This Clone possessed such a precious talent.

If it were lost here,

it would be a huge loss.

The night in the Magic Net Great World quickly passed.

The next morning,

after eating breakfast,

he went to the academy.

This time,

when he arrived there,

he saw Ai Xue,

the girl he had saved from the claws of the Black Bear Vicious Beast previously.

She was standing next to a little boy, instructing him.

The boy kept nodding.

He was probably her younger brother.

Thirty minutes later,

the four teachers, excluding Lei Yi, arrived.

Hua Heng said,

"Alright, students, everyone is here. Next, you will be taken to the Eternal Forest."

"We have cleared a safe zone spanning 3 kilometers. There are only some monsters we have selected there."

"For the next two days, you will stay there, killing monsters to earn points."

"Of course, you can also steal points from your companions. However, mutual killing is forbidden."

"At that time, each of you will have a wristband. Once the owner is in mortal danger, the Restriction will activate and teleport them out."

"You can also actively trigger this mechanism by pressing the wristband."

"However, doing so will be considered failing the assessment."

"Does everyone have any other questions?"

"No."

Everyone replied in unison.

"Then let's go."

By now, everyone knew how points were redeemed.

They were all monsters below E-Rank.

A few were E-Rank.

However, killing any E-Rank monster would immediately grant 10 points.

But for these students participating in the assessment,

it would be extremely difficult.

They could only rely on their own talents and the theoretical knowledge learned from the school to cope.

As for common monsters,

killing one would yield 5 points.

The more they killed, the more points they would get.

However, Lu Chen was not aiming to stand out too much.

Achieving an average score would be sufficient.

After all,

his main objective was the five students he had marked.

When the assessment began,

he would extract their talents.

In exchange for their talents,

he would give them a fake Spiritual Vein refined from his own energy and Law.

From then on,

they could walk the path of a warrior in the Great Universe.

Afterward, he would also provide them with the necessary energy for Cultivation.

Because this world lacked energy.

But the prerequisite was that they had excellent character.

If their moral character was lacking,

then he wouldn't bother with such trouble.

Thus, next,

everyone boarded the bus.

Seventy-five buses carried over 300 teachers and students to the Eternal Forest.

There was a military camp there.

They would go there first,

and then depart from there.

Everyone could choose to act alone or form a team.

Lu Chen did not see Hao Bo or Hao Nan.

Perhaps they had already been admitted early by the academy.

The bus started moving.

A boy sat in the seat next to him,

and smiled kindly at Lu Chen.

Because Lu Chen was also an SSS-Rank Awakener.

Although he received special attention from the teachers because of Hao Nan and Hao Bo,

many classmates had already noticed him.

The boy greeted him,

"Hello, I am Yu Qing, an S-Rank Awakener. What is your name?"

Lu Chen also gave him a slight smile.

"I am Lu Fu, an SSS-Rank Awakener. It's a pleasure to meet you."

When Lu Chen said he was an SSS-Rank Awakener,

he showed a hint of pride at the right moment.

For someone as young as him,

it would be abnormal not to show off.

Then the boy named Yu Qing started chatting with him,

sharing interesting stories,

trying to make an impression on Lu Chen.

Lu Chen listened with great interest,

because he knew very little about this world to begin with.

Two hours later,

the bus arrived at its destination.

Everyone got off the vehicle one after another.

Hua Heng spoke again,

"Good, everyone now has half an hour for final preparations. If needed, you can go to the military camp to collect weapons."

Yu Qing asked Lu Chen if he wanted to team up with him for the assessment.

Just then, his three companions walked over.

Lu Chen looked at them,

"Sorry, I prefer to operate alone. But thank you for the invitation."

Yu Qing was a bit disappointed,

but said nothing.

Lu Chen went to the military camp's armory and took a long sword.

He needed a weapon to cover up his slaughter.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

"Alright, everyone can disperse now. But do not cross the 3-kilometer area boundary, and you must return after 48 hours. One second late, and it counts as failing the assessment. Understood?"

Hua Heng said.

"Yes, Teacher."

Everyone shouted loudly,

and then left the military camp.

The Eternal Forest was an incomparably vast forest.

The first time Lu Chen descended into this world,

he arrived at this very forest.

Its area was at least equivalent to the size of a star system in the Great Universe.

Lu Chen immediately locked onto the SSS-Rank boy who possessed the Summoning talent.

He would first track him down,

to observe his character.

If his character was good, he would offer compensation.

If it was bad, he would get nothing.

This boy's name was Shi Yu.

He had formed a small team at this moment.

The team had a total of 10 members.

There were 5 girls and 5 boys.

Among them, one girl was particularly eye-catching,

very beautiful.
