Grand Map Evacuation

"Second Round Exam begins."

"Over the next three days, you will be randomly shuffled and assigned to different maps, each containing ten thousand examinees."

"You must search the map for two or more items marked with the character 'Martial' and successfully evacuate the map."

"If you fail to evacuate or suffer fatal damage, you will be forcibly teleported out of the map and lose eligibility for this College Entrance Exam."

"Each examinee may bring out up to ten items marked with the 'Martial' character; any excess will be invalid."

"Each excess item will earn you 50 Points."

"The first thousand examinees to successfully evacuate with ten items will receive an additional 100 Points."

"The first hundred examinees to successfully evacuate with ten items will receive an additional 200 Points."

"The first examinee to successfully evacuate with ten items will receive an additional 300 Points."

Jiang Yan had been the first to reach the top in the First Round Exam, so his current Points stood at 300, ranking first nationwide.

Next, as long as he was the first to collect ten Marked Items and successfully evacuate the map, he would maintain that top spot.

If the first round was a big sieve, where most people couldn't earn Points and its only purpose was to weed out examinees with no standout qualities...

Then this Second Round Exam truly tested the examinees' abilities.

As long as you grabbed two Marked Items and evacuated successfully, you advanced.

If you got more Marked Items, your Points would skyrocket, leaving other scoreless examinees in the dust.

Marked Items definitely weren't easy to take away; there had to be some restriction hindering examinees from scoring.

The Martial Exam was essentially a screening process—if you could break through the obstacles, you'd leave everyone else far behind in Points and secure admission to your dream school.

Next, a few announcements were broadcast. Jiang Yan listened carefully, and the next second, the world flipped upside down again. In the blink of an eye, he found himself in a strange place.

The Second Round Exam had officially begun.

: Washed up, no need to pee, in bed, phone fully charged, requesting to watch the livestream!

: Didn't wash up, peed in bed, tablet plugged in, requesting to watch the livestream!

: Holding wife, sleeping with mistress, in public, requesting to watch the livestream!

: ?

: ?

: Hurry up, finally the Second Round Exam—wonder if Jiang Yan can work another miracle?

: Jiang Yan is invincible!

Before Jiang Yan stood rows of dilapidated buildings. Looking into the distance, all he saw was desolate ruins, a gray sky, and a gloomy atmosphere—the entire city shrouded in a faint haze.

Here, Jiang Yan didn't know where the exit was, nor could he get a sense of direction. Everything depended on step-by-step exploration. No wonder the officials had given three days—it really was a bit troublesome.

Not!

Jiang Yan stepped forward, strolling gracefully through the void. Beneath his feet, crystal steps seemed to form one by one, his figure rising higher as he looked down over the entire city.

To martial artists below the fifth rank, this scene was like a miracle.

When it came to showing off—

: "Ahhhh so handsome! I declare, Jiang Yan is mine from now on"

: I don't want to admit it, but Brother Jiang really nails the vibe.

: Am I the only one curious how Jiang Yan can walk on air?

: No idea, probably his SS-rank talent. Anyone know exactly what talent Jiang Yan awakened?

: I'm from Linjiang myself. Jiang Yan's SS talent at the Warrior Building hasn't been named yet—almost no one knows what it is.

Jiang Yan once again displayed his Wind Rider trait, his elegant and leisurely demeanor truly captivating.

From his vantage point, the entire city took on a circular outline, with roads crisscrossing in a chaotic pattern, as if deliberately scrambled.

Jiang Yan pondered. There were still five million examinees left, with ten thousand per map—that meant five hundred maps.

Did the government really have the energy to set up that many maps?

The owner of this space—the Space Martial Saint.

Just how powerful did someone have to be to pull this off?

His thoughts drifted, then Jiang Yan snapped back to focus and began diving toward a spot he'd spotted in the distance.

Li Wang's face was practically beaming. He even felt a bit like a legendary chosen one.

The moment he was teleported into this city, he was shocked to find a hard object under his foot. Picking it up, he saw it was a Silver Token engraved with the character "Martial."

If that wasn't being a chosen one, what was?

Li Wang grinned as he examined the Silver Token in his hand, joy written all over his face. "Just one more and I can advance. If I get a bit luckier, maybe I can even get into a top university."

Just as he was lost in sweet fantasies, a figure descended from the sky, crashing to the ground and kicking up a spray of rubble.

"Fierce Beasts?"

The rubble and dust settled, revealing Jiang Yan's handsome face before Li Wang.

"Hand over the Silver Token in your hand."

Li Wang quickly stuffed the Silver Token into his chest and eyed Jiang Yan warily. "This is robbery! What you're doing is wrong!"

Jiang Yan shook his head. "Really can't do anything with you."

The moment he finished speaking, his figure burst into motion, charging straight at Li Wang.

Boom!

Li Wang was knocked to the ground with a single punch. As a mere first-rank martial artist, he had no strength to resist at all.

The "University Pass" he'd lucked into was now in Jiang Yan's hands, thanks to his own weakness.

"What you're doing is wrong!"—that line clearly couldn't sway Jiang Yan's resolve.

After robbing Li Wang, he vanished back into the clouds, scanning the area below like a radar Eagle Eye.

Search himself? No way.

Many hands make light work~

With ten thousand people scattered across this city, some were bound to get lucky and find Marked Items. Jiang Yan only needed to wait by the tree for the rabbit—leave the gathering of supplies to others.

Though Jiang Yan's method was quick and convenient, some in the barrage weren't happy.

: Turning from fan to hater. I don't think someone like this deserves to be a martial artist.

: Right, everyone, steer clear. Someone who steals the fruits of others' labor is just a parasite on society even if they get into university.

: He's so strong, why does he have to rob others? How is this different from a crime?

But in this world, martial artists reigned supreme, and fists ruled. Many began to speak up for Jiang Yan.

: The people above are a bunch of fools—they talk without feeling the pain. The officials didn't ban mutual robbery, so why are they complaining?

: Exactly. I support Jiang Yan. In the Martial Exam, everyone's a competitor. Why can't he take it?

: I checked these people's IDs—they're from Li Wang's city. No wonder they're talking without feeling the pain.

: Jiang Yan's strong, so he does what he wants. Besides, the Martial Exam is about picking the strong. Who's to blame if Li Wang can't beat someone?

: Hmph, you people above are just unreasonable. Just wait until Jiang Yan gets beaten and eliminated by some genius from another city—then you'll shut up.

: Heh heh, we'll see.
