88: Assessment completed

Chapter 88: Position Exposed

The next day.

Lu Qianyuan slowly woke up. No one had come near here yesterday, which was quite lucky.

He rested for a moment, then waited for the assessment to end.

On the second day, Lu Qianyuan, relying on his perception and stealth abilities, undoubtedly evaded detection again.

Time quickly Advanced to the third day.

Today was the last day of the assessment, and also the most dangerous day.

Because the wristband on one's hand would expose one's position every hour, it was extremely dangerous.

However, this was not only an opportunity to hunt but also an opportunity to counter-hunt.

Because no one knew what the strength of their opponent was.

Lu Qianyuan found a large tree to hide behind, quietly waiting for the final moments to pass.

It was currently daytime, and since they entered during the day, the positioning effect would trigger during the day and last until the corresponding time tomorrow.

Before long, Lu Qianyuan felt someone enter his perception range, and it wasn't just one person, but three.

The three walked together, and from their formation, they appeared to be companions, not random passersby they had encountered.

And the trio's target was precisely this location.

Upon seeing this, Lu Qianyuan silently left the area.

However, not long after, he discovered other hunters who had found him and were also trying to catch him.

Lu Qianyuan merely evaded them silently.

With his perception ability, as long as he didn't want to be caught, no one could catch him.

Time flowed by minute by minute, and Lu Qianyuan didn't have to wait long.

Just three short hours passed, and the assessment ended.

The wristband showed that only the last one hundred examinees remained in the Secret Realm, but eleven hunters had also been eliminated.

This showed that there were still some examinees with considerable strength.

A spatial fluctuation swept over, and Lu Qianyuan was carried out of the space, reappearing in the training ground.

At this time, there were still many examinees in the training ground.

Most of these examinees were dusty and disheveled, looking quite miserable.

However, after passing the assessment, they were still exceptionally joyful.

"Congratulations to the seventy-one surviving examinees. You have successfully passed the assessment, and from this moment on, you are official students of Tianling Academy."

Hu Zhengquan stood before everyone and slowly said.

"The wristbands on your hands have already recorded your information. If you have any questions, you can directly ask the wristband."

"Also, if any of you have obtained a hunter's wristband, you can transfer the points from it to your own wristband. Each is worth one hundred points."

"After the points transfer is complete, remember to hand over the hunter's wristband to me."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the wristbands in their hands and began to examine them.

Lu Qianyuan was no exception. He clicked on his wristband, and a holographic icon appeared.

It contained several main modules: Personal Information, Mall, Battle Ranking, and Missions.

Lu Qianyuan clicked on Personal Information, and his current status was immediately displayed.

Name: Lu Qianyuan

Strength: Rank Three

Category: Combat Spirit Master

Mentor: An Ting

Dormitory: Building 37, Room 807, D Zone

...

It recorded some of Lu Qianyuan's basic information, which was the same as what he filled out when he enrolled, with basically no difference.

After understanding his Personal Information, Lu Qianyuan turned his attention to the remaining three modules.

After some research, Lu Qianyuan also understood the functions of each module of the wristband.

The Mall sold items, including Materials from Rank One to Rank Three. Rank Four Materials were also available, but required authorization to unlock.

Currently, Lu Qianyuan only had Rank One authorization and could not purchase them.

Rank Three authorization was required to purchase Rank Four Materials, and the monthly purchase quantity was fixed.

The higher the authorization, the more Rank Four Materials could be purchased.

How to increase authorization involved Missions and points.

Each authorization upgrade required points and also the completion of certain Missions.

Missions were categorized. Rank One Missions only involved Rank One enemies, Rank Two involved Rank One or Rank Two, Rank Three involved Rank Two or Rank Three, and so on.

To upgrade from Rank One authorization to Rank Two, five Rank Two Missions needed to be completed, along with a consumption of five hundred points.

To upgrade from Rank Two authorization to Rank Three, five Rank Three Missions needed to be completed, along with a consumption of one thousand points.

After Rank Three, points were no longer needed; only the completion of Missions was required.

Besides upgrading authorization Rank, points could also be used to purchase resources in the Mall.

Rank One resources only cost single-digit points, Rank Two cost double-digits, Rank Three triple-digits, and so on.

However, most Rank Four Materials required more than three thousand points. Those below three thousand points were pitifully few, mostly just scraps of Rank Four Materials.

Furthermore, Missions could not be accepted at will. To accept Missions, a certain authorization was required; low authorization prevented the acceptance of Advanced Missions.

It was all interconnected.

As for the Battle Ranking, this was a leaderboard, which could be understood as a ranking of students' fighting prowess in the Academy.

The first place was a person named Zhang Xingyu, who was Rank Five.

The second to tenth places were all Rank Five, all the way until the twenty-seventh place, which was Rank Four, and then from twenty-eighth to thirty-seventh were all Rank Five, followed by Rank Four again.

Lu Qianyuan glanced at this sole Rank Four among a group of Rank Fives, a little surprised.

To achieve this ranking among a crowd of Rank Fives, his strength must be considerable, perhaps possessing special skills.

The person's name was Zhao Yanbing. Lu Qianyuan made a mental note of him; he might try to interact with him if there was an opportunity.

Maintaining a ranking on the Battle Ranking came with point rewards, issued monthly. The first place received one hundred thousand points monthly, the second eighty thousand, the third fifty thousand, decreasing further down the Ranks.

In addition, there were some special rewards, such as Materials, Battle Skills, Battle Spirit enhancement Materials, and free access to Secret Realms. In short, they were very precious, enough to tempt most students.

This was the overall ranking, including all students regardless of their year or strength.

If subdivided, there were also year rankings and same-Rank rankings, but compared to the overall ranking, they undoubtedly held much less significance.

Lu Qianyuan was quite eager to challenge Zhang Xingyu. He didn't want the ranking; he merely wanted the opponent's skills.

To be the top of the overall Battle Ranking, he should possess many good skills.

Thinking of this, Lu Qianyuan recalled being discovered on the train. After replicating Beginner Natural Yuan Qi Affinity, he would go to replicate skills that could conceal himself, to prevent being spied upon.

After understanding all the functions of the wristband, Lu Qianyuan left the training ground and returned to his dormitory.

Upon arriving outside the dormitory, he realized it was a double room, even though he had just passed by the A Zone dormitories and noticed they were all single rooms.

This treatment made Lu Qianyuan slightly displeased.

He wasn't someone who hated such unequal treatment or anything; he was just annoyed that he didn't receive better treatment himself.
