Pass Three Levels
Sounds echoed from inside the tree hollow.
The student who was called walked towards the tree hole.
Light flickered intermittently from inside the tree hollow, clearly indicating that some kind of test was being conducted.
Lin Mu's eyes swept across the area; there were hundreds of tree holes, and each time a large number of students would enter them.
At this rate, all trainees can be tested in at most one hour.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice rang out.
No. 3114!
Lin Mu walked forward and entered a tree hollow.
Inside the tree hollow were several Examiners, sitting at desks with paper and pens in front of them.
"Stand on the testing platform!"
"That's what the Examiners sitting in the center said."
Lin Mu walked toward a protruding wooden stump, which was two square meters in size and had extremely complex patterns carved on it.
As Lin Mu stood on it, beams of light shimmered on the wooden stump.
Some data emerged from the roots of the wooden stump.
Blood Qi Value: 10.1.
The Examiners present nodded slightly.
Reaching the Second-Order Martial Artist at this age already puts him ahead of 99% of his peers.
"Excellent!" the Examiners said.
"Now unleash your strongest technique!"
"Okay!" Lin Mu nodded. He moved his feet, and although the wooden block was not very big, his Movement Technique were extremely skillful, and he was able to accurately step on the edge of the wooden block.
In the blink of an eye, afterimages appeared, giving the impression that even within a small space, it would be difficult to touch the hem of his clothes.
About seven or eight minutes later, a set of words appeared on the tree roots.
"Movement Technique: Gold Grade!"
The Examiners present looked somewhat surprised.
Second-Order Martial Artist!
Yellow-level Movement Technique!
Such talent definitely qualifies one for the top tier.
"Not bad!" The Examiners smiled.
"Kid, my name is Lei Yong. If you get into Sacred Origin Martial School, you can come to the Qin Dao Academy."
The other Examiners didn't look too happy.
However, given Lei Yong's strength, they dared not say much.
"I understand!" Lin Mu replied.
This person is, after all, the Examiners, so he can be given a score.
There's no need to provoke them before the Martial Arts Exam is over.
Once he enters the martial arts school, he can decide which department he joins.
"Alright! Go to the back!" Lei Yong graded the paper, and a huge S appeared.
The other Examiners all gave the same score.
Lin Mu walked towards the back of the tree hole.
Passing through the tree hole, you enter another extremely vast space, but unlike the previous place, this place has the aura of some Fierce Beast.
It is clearly a testing ground.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Tan Ci, Qian Mu, Bai Mo and the others passed the test and came to Lin Mu's side.
"The formal assessment is about to begin!" Qian Mu's face showed a hint of nervousness.
"In the past, the Martial Arts Exam required passing three stages, and this year should be about the same!" Bai Mo said.
Lin Mu and the others were also well aware of this.
The content of the Martial Arts Exam is largely the same every year.
Some people also undergo similar training specifically to prepare for the Martial Arts Exam.
No matter how much you train, your own strength will always come first.
"I remember the First Level was called the Pass the Gate of Life. Everyone had to pass through Formation Formation with many traps. Only those who passed the test could advance!"
At this moment, Qian Mu said, "This First Level alone can eliminate 90% of the people!"
"The second challenge is truly terrifying; it's called the Walk the Gate of Death. Just last year, there were nine Tier Third Order Fierce Beast in the Death Gate, and the slightest mistake could lead to death!"
Bai Mo said from the side.
"What's the third level called?" Lin Mu asked with a smile.
He doesn't have a thorough understanding of these things.
"The third challenge is called the Seize the Immortal Path. More than a hundred Immortal Stones are scattered in various places. Only by obtaining the Immortal Stones can you ascend the Immortal Ladder. Only by crossing the Immortal Ladder can you pass the challenge!"
Bai Mo said.
Lin Mu's eyes narrowed slightly.
According to the assessment criteria, only a little over one hundred people will be able to pass the assessment.
And this is the best possible outcome.
It's important to know that the Immortal Ladder is very difficult; many people, even with Immortal Stones, are unable to Immortal Ladder.
"No wonder there are only ten people on the Martial Ranking every year!"
Lin Mu thought to himself, "I checked online before. There are rewards for making it onto the Martial Ranking, and our Martial Arts Exam scores will be converted into points that can be used within the academy!"
"Therefore, the better your Martial Arts Exam results, the higher your starting point will be when you enter the academy!"
"With my abilities, I wonder if it's even possible for me to get into the top ten!"
Bai Mo stood to the side, seemingly understanding Lin Mu's thoughts, a smile appearing on her face.
"With your strength, you'll definitely have no problem! Besides, finding the Immortal Stones involves some luck. You might find it as soon as you enter the third level, and even make it onto the Immortal Stones Martial Ranking!"
Lin Mu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words!"
As the group chatted, the test drew to a close, with over 90% of the participants passing.
A loud voice rang out once again.
"This test eliminated 2,750 people. The remaining personnel received rescue equipment and then proceeded to the assessment according to the designated route!"
As the words fell, a rumbling sound came from the ground to the east, and a large number of trees seemed to be affected by some mysterious force, moving directly to both sides.
An extremely wide road then came into view.
Everyone walked forward.
Countless black dots appeared in the sky, and thousands of handbags fell down.
Each student who stepped onto the road picked up a handbag and walked slowly forward.
Lin Mu walked forward and casually picked up a handbag.
The bag didn't contain much: a holographic camera, a distress device, and a Protective Shield button.
It can ensure the safety of the trainees inside.
However, some people who react slowly may encounter unexpected problems.
But in this day and age, if one really dies on the way to the Martial Arts Exam, one can only blame one's bad luck.
After all, this world is just that cruel.
As the group moved forward.
A series of sudden Sudden Wind appeared at this moment.
Many trainees felt unsteady on their feet.
But they still forged ahead against the wind.
Lin Mu could also feel the power of this Sudden Wind; if his Blood Qi Value was not higher than 1.0, he wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
As they passed through the area with the Sudden Wind, it felt as if they had entered some kind of Formation.
A huge Plum Blossom Stakes appeared in front of them.
Each Plum Blossom Stakes is enormous, measuring a full three square meters.
Beneath the Plum Blossom Stakes lies an unfathomable abyss.
Many trainees showed fear upon seeing this scene.
The Martial Arts Exam is definitely not that simple.
Nobody knows what's going on with these Plum Blossom Stakes.
After waiting for a while, a few of the bolder ones jumped towards the Plum Blossom Stakes, landing on them as if nothing had happened.
Excitement gleamed in their eyes as they rushed forward, but the Plum Blossom Stakes vanished the moment one of them jumped onto Plum Blossom Stakes again.
He fell to the ground, screaming, before he could even use a distress signal.
