"It seems this Martial Arts Will assessment is just like the first level of the Martial Arts Heavenly Ladder."

"Using illusions to test people?"

Jiang Ye looked at the stunningly beautiful girl with snow-white feet, his gaze peculiar.

Using this to test him?

What high school student couldn't handle this kind of test?

"Whether it's an illusion or not, we'll only know if we try."

Jiang Ye immediately stepped forward.

At the same time, other trial-takers also entered the illusions one after another.

Take Li Zhichao, for example. He found himself sitting in a classroom.

On the blackboard in front of him, the rankings for this month's exam were displayed.

First place: Jiang Ye

Second place: Xu Sisi

Third place: Li Zhichao

"I actually dropped to third place in this exam!"

Li Zhichao's body trembled, staring at the blackboard in front of him in disbelief.

"Not only was I surpassed by Jiang Ye, but Xu Sisi also overtook me," Li Zhichao gritted his teeth tightly.

On the podium.

Chen Zilu said coldly, "In this exam, Li Zhichao's regression is very obvious. He has no chance of entering the Key Class. I will inform your parents about this situation, so you'd best behave yourself."

Hearing this, Li Zhichao's body trembled violently.

He had dropped to third place.

No longer had a chance to enter the Key Class!

Li Zhichao's eyes seemed to have already conjured scenes of the future.

The disappointment in his parents' eyes, Lin Xuan's merciless mockery, being regarded as the shame of Tianlong Residential Area by his peers.

"No, no..."

Li Zhichao shook his head frantically, his eyes filled with fear.

Lin Xuan sat in a classroom at Ancheng First Middle School.

He looked at the grade rankings in disbelief.

"My score dropped out of the top hundred in the grade?"

"If my grades continue to fall, I might even be kicked out of the Key Class and thrown into a regular class filled with trash?"

Lin Xuan stared intently at the report card, visions of the future seemingly appearing before him.

Li Zhichao's merciless mockery, his parents' despair, being nailed to the pillar of shame in Tianlong Residential Area.

"What good is a newborn's talent? In the end, isn't it the same as mine, a lower-tier talent?" Li Zhichao's merciless taunt echoed.

"No, I don't want to be with the good-for-nothings in the regular classes!" Lin Xuan clutched his head, roaring in pain.

Meanwhile, in the hall outside.

All the students had entered the trials.

The vast majority of them wore pained expressions, as if enduring immense torment.

On the viewing platform, Zhang Jianwu chuckled, "It seems the students have all entered the state."

"This Martial Arts Will trial is about stimulating the deepest emotions within one's heart and presenting them in the form of illusions."

Speaking of which, he glanced in Lin Xuan's direction.

"I never thought this kid, who's in the top ten of Ancheng First Middle School's grade, would have something that makes him incredibly fearful?"

"It's truly curious."

Other teachers also looked towards Lin Xuan.

At this moment, Lin Xuan was covered in sweat, his face filled with terror, as if he were experiencing something extremely horrifying.

Chen Zilu was not surprised. "Everyone has seven emotions and six desires. Fear is the easiest emotion to make one lose their reason."

"Therefore, in the Martial Arts Will trial, everyone will face their inner fears directly."

Hearing this.

Zhang Jianwu shook his head and laughed, "That's not necessarily true. Look there."

He pointed in Jiang Ye's direction.

Chen Zilu followed his gaze towards Jiang Ye.

The next second, she was slightly stunned.

Jiang Ye sat in the virtual seat, a relaxed smile on his face, a stark contrast to the grim expressions of the students around him.

"This guy is dreaming sweet dreams."

Chen Zilu giggled, covering her mouth.

A teacher exclaimed in surprise, "The Martial Arts Will trial, most people see terrifying things. He's actually dreaming sweet dreams? That's very rare!"

Zhang Jianwu nodded. "This indicates that he truly has nothing in his heart that causes him fear. That's quite uncommon."

"Either he's never experienced fear in his life."

"Or it means his personality is very special, and even the greatest storms can't make him feel fear."

Everyone's expression grew serious.

The former was almost impossible.

But the latter often indicated a powerful Martial Arts Will.

Zhang Jianwu, however, shook his head. "Pleasant illusions are often more captivating than terrifying ones, making it harder for people to break free than others."

Chen Zilu nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes looking in Jiang Ye's direction.

She understood Jiang Ye's Martial Arts Will very well.

After all, with so many days passing, she had already seen Jiang Ye's resolute heart for Martial Arts and his unwavering martial resolve.

People like him often possessed strong Martial Arts Will.

"He's actually dreaming sweet dreams? Can he wake up?" Chen Zilu's clear, bright eyes stared at Jiang Ye.

Just as she thought this...

"Ding!"

Suddenly, a notification sound echoed through the hall.

"Someone has completed the first trial!"

"What? How is that possible? It's been less than a minute!"

"Who is it?"

The teachers present all looked towards the large screen at the front.

The screen displayed the scores of the hundred trial participants.

The total score for the first trial was 300 points, the second trial was 200 points, and the third was 500 points, for a grand total of 1000 points.

Since the trial had just begun.

Almost everyone's score was still 0.

Chen Zilu quickly scanned the screen, her bright eyes suddenly lighting up.

"It's Jiang Ye," she said in a sweet voice.

Zhang Jianwu also looked closely.

[Jiang Ye: 300 points]

Jiang Ye, achieved a perfect score on the first trial!

He was also the first person to break through the illusion and pass the Martial Arts Will trial!

"This kid actually finished the first trial in less than a minute?"

Zhang Jianwu checked the time, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

In fact, as long as one passed the trial within three minutes, they would receive full marks.

Finishing the trial in one minute?

This meant Jiang Ye's Martial Arts Will was already so powerful that it surpassed the standards of this trial!

"This student has incredibly strong Martial Arts Will."

"He woke up from a sweet dream so quickly?"

"With such a firm Martial Arts Will, if he doesn't have inferior talent, he's destined to be a favored child of heaven."

Many teachers were sighing with emotion.

On the distant platform, Wang Ziang's eyes also flashed with a glint.

"Class Nine has really produced a remarkable person?" Wang Ziang nodded slightly, hands behind his back. "He does have a bit of my old demeanor."

In the stands.

Chen Zilu smiled at Zhang Jianwu. "Director, how many chances do you think Jiang Ye has to make it into the top three now?"

Zhang Jianwu gave her a somewhat helpless look.

This girl was just waiting for him to be proven wrong.

However, as the grade director, he had strong self-control and also had great faith in his own judgment.

Zhang Jianwu shook his head. "The trial has just begun, it's too early to say."

"From the second trial onwards, it'll be about real skill."

Chen Zilu nodded, saying no more, and turned to look at the hall.

Just as Zhang Jianwu had said.

Starting from the second trial, it would test their Martial Arts prowess, and in this regard, Jiang Ye was weaker than Zeng Xueqing, Xu Lei, and the others.

What would the outcome be? Even she couldn't predict it.

In the virtual space.

Jiang Ye watched as his surroundings slowly faded and knew he had passed the first trial.

"That's it?"

Jiang Ye recalled the girl with the snow-white feet from earlier and shook his head. "It's not even as real as the illusions in the Martial Arts Heavenly Ladder."
