220: Martial arts exam begins

The night passed uneventfully.

The Beastmaster Exam and the Martial Exam arrived as scheduled!

In the central district of Sky Vault Main City.

A massive arena had been erected.

This was the place where candidates would ultimately compete for the top spot, and only those who had passed through layers of selection could reach this arena!

And today.

Was the first layer of selection.

When the candidates learned that the first round was a virtual combat Martial Exam, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Compared to the previous few years, this first layer of selection was quite fortunate!

At least there was no need to worry about casualties.

Competition Hall.

Early in the morning, Gu Yan and the other Teacher Proctors were invited to the central district by the official radio station of Sky Vault Main City.

Under the gaze of hundreds of cameras.

Gu Yan and the other nine Teacher Proctors sat in the nine most prominent seats, like review guests.

Wang Datong had also dug out the suit from home that had been stored for over a decade, looking like a flashy 70-year-old.

Beside him.

Two Hosts were setting the stage for the official start of the Martial Exam.

Not long after.

As the start time approached.

The live broadcast cameras facing the entire World were turned on.

Instantly.

Tens of millions of viewers who had been waiting for a long time surged into the live broadcast room like a tidal wave!

"8:30, as punctual as ever!"

"Anticipating, anticipating, the first round is a virtual trial assessment, it's been a long time since we've seen this in the Martial Exam!"

In just a few breaths.

The number of people in the live broadcast room and the bullet comments were already overflowing with excitement.

The Host also spoke up: "Hello, audience friends, welcome to the live broadcast of the 19th Beastmaster Exam, Martial Exam. I am your Host, ***."

"I am your Host, ***."

The two Hosts first gave a simple introduction.

Afterwards.

The live broadcast camera turned, framing Gu Yan and the other nine people.

"Every year there are outstanding Students, and every year there are Teacher Proctors who shelter the Students like big trees. This year's Teacher Proctors are all extraordinary."

"Allow us to introduce them to everyone."

As the Host spoke, the camera focused on Huang Lie.

"This person, if you are of a certain age, you should remember him. Fifteen years ago, that top Student, now also sits in this Proctor position. Don't you all feel a sense of the passage of time and lost youth?"

As she spoke, the female Host also explained in detail beside him.

A few minutes later.

After the introduction was completed, the camera shifted to a Man wearing a mask.

Even with the mask on, everyone could sense the youthfulness of this Teacher Proctor.

Young Teacher Proctors were not uncommon, but to be able to serve as a Teacher Proctor for the Martial Exam in the Beastmaster Exam, this was something almost no young person had ever achieved!

"This... is Gu Proctor."

After saying that, they moved on.

The Host began introducing the next person.

Actually.

It wasn't that the Host didn't want to introduce Gu Yan.

But rather, Gu Yan had requested it.

He was thinking.

When Su Wei and he faced each other, taking off the mask at that time should allow him to earn a large sum of points.

The number of points earned would definitely be more than if he exposed himself directly.

After half an hour of introductions.

The nine Teacher Proctors had a general impression in the audience's minds.

"In the first round of our candidates' Martial Exam, they will challenge the recorded virtual characters of the esteemed Teacher Proctors!"

"According to the varying strengths of the nine Teachers' virtual characters, their virtual characters have been placed in the Nine Division Pavilion in order."

The Host said this, and at the same time, clearly explained the rules.

"If a candidate defeats the virtual character of a Teacher Proctor, they can get the highest score for that level and proceed to a higher floor to challenge a stronger opponent. They can also choose to increase their score by continuously spending time in the battle."

"The first round of the Martial Exam, like previous Grand Examinations, is still to filter out 90% of the candidates. So, let's now connect to the virtual space footage!"

Amidst this voice.

The live broadcast screen in front of the audience changed.

What was shown was the scene in the virtual space!

Up to now, this assessment had just begun!

The audience's enthusiasm was reignited.

"Who do you think will get the highest score in this first round of the filtering Martial Exam?"

"To say who it is, that's really hard to say, but what's certain is that the highest score will definitely be decided among the seeded players from the nine major safe zones!"

"There are indeed people in the safe zones, those nine guys are all extraordinary, so we in Sky Vault Main City should also have a representative figure, right?"

"Heh, there really is. Do you know the Dragon clan? Our City Lord of Sky Vault Main City, he is the head of the Dragon clan. He has an extremely outstanding son. I bet that candidate named Dragon Sky will definitely get first place in this first assessment!"

Amidst people's discussions.

One by one, the candidates had already entered the Nine Division Pavilion.

"Virtual combat, I'm best at it." Dragon Sky of the City Lord's Mansion.

Smiled and lay down in a virtual pod nearby.

At the same time.

The seeded players from the nine safe zones, each with a strong aura fluctuating around them, entered the virtual pods with only confidence in their eyes!

On the other side.

After being released from prison and adjusting for a night, Su Wei had barely managed to recover.

"Little Ancestor, I have already expelled Gu Yan for you. Now the School relies on you to get us a good ranking!"

The Principal of First High School in Sky Vault Main City, his face full of smiles.

"Gu Yan is already my defeated opponent. The rank he can achieve, I can also achieve."

"The height I can reach, however, is beyond his reach."

"Yes, yes." The Principal nodded: "Gu Shanhe thought it was a big deal to become a Beast Taming Grandmaster, but I still haven't paid any attention to him."

"His son doesn't bring our School as much prestige as you do, Little Ancestor."

The Principal of First High School flattered him.

In reality.

Long before, the Principal had seen Su Wei's potential.

From a waste, in just a few days, he had reached the point where he could defeat Gu Yan, that famous Genius!

The Principal of First High School, at one point, thought this was a treasure!

And indeed it was.

Meeting in the morning.

After the Principal saw that Su Wei had already reached the Realm of Junior Beast Grandmaster, he was completely amazed!

He sincerely felt that his actions of fighting for Su Wei and expelling Gu Yan were worthwhile.

Of course.

Due to Heavenly Machine's strenuous manipulation.

The Principal of First High School still did not know about Su Wei's imprisonment.

If he knew, his mood would probably be very complicated.

Turning around, he looked at the virtual pod on the side.

"Virtual combat assessment?" Su Wei's eyes flickered with contempt: "Only at the level of a Primary Beast Master, fine, I'll just sweep through it and let the World see how strong someone who can defeat the nine Proctors is!"
