Second Mock Exam (Seeking Support)

The second mock exam is a joint examination for students in the Star Lord Class from ten high schools in Xiūshé City. The exam venue is a demon cave, serving as a practical combat assessment against the Void Demon Race.

This is because, within the Star Alliance, the most crucial part of the college entrance examination for Star Lord students is the practical combat assessment against the Void Demon Race.

The second mock exam in Xiūshé City aims to replicate the environment of the college entrance examination as much as possible.

Of course, with the resources of just one city, the replicated college entrance examination environment is limited. However, it is sufficient to allow the Star Lord students from the ten high schools to experience the atmosphere of the college entrance examination.

Regarding the Void Demon Race, demon caves, and other information, Liang Ji and the other students have already gained some understanding through their daily studies.

The Void Demon Race roams the cosmic starry sky. Low-level ones feed on starlight, while high-level ones directly devour stars. They are the greatest enemies of Star Lord cultivators who refine their Natal Stars.

Demon caves are where the Void Demon Race congregates, usually located within black hole fields.

It is said that there is a black hole in every star domain of the Star Alliance. These are the lairs and main bases of the Void Demon Race in each star domain.

As for the existence and formation of black holes, the school does not teach it. However, there are many speculations about black holes on the Star Net. One theory suggests that black holes are remnants left behind by Rank Nine Heavenly Demons of the Void Demon Race after their ascension.

This is similar to how the Main Stars in the Star Alliance are left behind by Rank One Celestials after their ascension.

The basis for this speculation is that black holes constantly devour stars, which aligns perfectly with the characteristics of the Void Demon Race. Furthermore, the fact that every black hole in the cosmic starry sky serves as a lair and main base for the Void Demon Race further emphasizes the connection between black holes and the Void Demon Race.

Of course, this is just one speculation, and there are many opposing views. Some argue that the Void Demon Race congregates in "black hole fields" simply because black holes capture a large number of stars within them, making them the most suitable places for the Void Demon Race to reproduce and grow. This is why large numbers of Void Demons gather in black hole fields, forming demon caves and nests.

However, this does not mean that black holes are necessarily left behind by Rank Nine Heavenly Demons after their ascension.

Regardless, it is a fact that there is a black hole in every star domain of the Star Alliance, containing a large number of stars captured by the black hole, which have become various demon caves.

Moreover, many Star Lords and cultivators in the star domains of the Star Alliance have the obligation to clear out demon caves and guard black holes.

Of course, for Star Lords, the Demon Cores and materials from the Void Demon Race are also the most valuable treasures. They are even necessities for nurturing and advancing their Natal Stars. Therefore, clearing out demon caves is not only an obligation but also a business, and a requirement for Star Lord cultivation.

Consequently, for Star Lord cultivators, combat against the Void Demon Race will occupy a very important part of their lives and cultivation.

A significant portion of the college entrance examination, and later the cultivation and studies within the Academy and Star Palaces, involves combat against the Void Demon Race.

In the Star Lord Class of Xiūshé City Second Middle School, as the second mock exam is about to begin, Liang Ji is checking the data displayed on the 'Starlight Treasure Mirror'.

Star Lord: Liang Ji.

Cultivation: Nine-Rank Body Refining (Muscle and Bone Training 80%).

Natal Star: Dragon Soul Star.

Star Diameter: 3650 kilometers.

Star Composition: Earth (45%), Metal (9%), Water (25%), Wood (10%), Fire (6%), Gas (5%).

Spirit Vein: Rank One (12%).

Retainer: Half-Dragonfolk.

Dao Fruit: 0.29%.

Retainer: Half-Dragonfolk.

Rank: Rank One.

Quantity: 91068 (Rank One: 25133, Rank Zero: 65935).

Religion: Heavenly Emperor Faith (Worship: Xi).

Politics: Small Tribe (Villages * 2) (Leader: King).

Economy: Farming, Animal Husbandry (Leader: Nong).

Military: Hunting Team (Commander: Chi).

Skills: Snake Barbarian Scripture (Hegemonic Body), Mountain Splitting Axe, Flying Snake Spear, Bedrock Shield, Rune Master, Alchemist.

From this data, the progress of his Natal Star, retainers, and Dao Fruit over the past twenty-plus days is clearly evident.

The star diameter has increased, the Dao Fruit has increased, and the number of retainers has grown significantly.

Even Liang Ji's own body refining cultivation has accelerated greatly due to the substantial improvement in his Natal Star and the surge in Star Power, reaching 80% muscle and bone training, far exceeding last month's cultivation results.

At this moment, within Liang Ji's Natal Star, ten thousand Half-Dragonfolk retainers are equipped with rune battle gear, have taken their pills, and are fully prepared, awaiting the opening of the star gate to head to the second mock exam venue.

This time, the second mock exam has removed the restriction on the number of retainers participating in the assessment. Furthermore, during the exam, Star Lord students can decide to dispatch additional retainers from their Natal Star to join the assessment based on the combat situation.

It is entirely focused on practical combat.

Star Lord students are even allowed to send out all the retainers from their Natal Star to participate in the second mock exam battles.

Everything is decided by the Star Lord students themselves, and they bear the consequences.

Teachers, schools, and the education bureau will not interfere, only observe, and then grade the students and their retainers based on their performance in the assessment, write comments, and record them in their files as reference material for admissions to Academies and Star Palaces after the college entrance examination.

This situation will undoubtedly further widen the gap in assessment performance between ordinary Star Lord students and wealthy Star Lord students.

After all, the number of retainers is also a significant advantage for wealthy Star Lord students.

Liang Ji has only refined twelve Rank One Demon Cores into his Natal Star so far, and he has already cultivated nearly 100,000 retainers, with over 20,000 being Rank One.

One can imagine how many retainers those Star Lord students who lack Spirit Stones and can refine more Demon Cores, maximizing their star's volume, Spirit Veins, and resources, must have cultivated.

It wouldn't surprise Liang Ji if some Star Lord students could directly deploy 100,000 Rank One retainers for combat in such an assessment.

The only limitations they face are likely the time required to refine Demon Cores and improve Spirit Veins within their Natal Star, as well as the upper limit of their Natal Star.

For ordinary Star Lord students, they might have only refined three or four Demon Cores into their Natal Star so far, and the total number of Retainers their Natal Star can nurture would be around thirty to forty thousand. If all of them were dispatched, they wouldn't even match the number of first-tier Retainer warriors of a wealthy Star Lord student.

This kind of quantitative disparity would naturally lead to a huge gap in the number of Void Demon Race they kill during the second mock assessment, and a massive difference in their combat record assessment.

However, the number of demons killed, combat record assessments, and so on, are only parts of the assessment. The observing teachers, the score given by the Municipal Education Bureau, their comments, and so forth, are also part of the assessment.

Excellent Star Lord students, whether wealthy or ordinary, will stand out and enter suitable Academies and Star Palaces to study and cultivate.

Wealthy Star Lord students have their own methods of cultivation, and ordinary Star Lord students also have conventional methods.

The Star Alliance has developed for countless years and has ample experience in cultivating Star Lords.

Soon, it was time for the assessment, and the Star Gate on Dragon Soul Star opened.

The ten thousand Retainer Half-Dragonfolk warriors, who had been preparing for a long time, entered the Star Gate amidst the blessings of the sacrifice and the cheers of their kin, embarking on another expedition.

A new week, and the ranking on the new book list has plummeted! o(╥﹏╥)o

The Xianxia new book list has fallen out of the top ten, and it's nowhere to be found on the overall list!
