Martial Exam Results

At the entrance to the examination grounds, candidates who had passed emerged one after another.

Every one of those successful candidates bore traces of blood and injuries to varying degrees.

Having passed the martial exam, the candidates did not appear overly excited.

That single martial exam had made them mature considerably in an instant.

After all one hundred successful candidates, including Wang Tianyu and the others, had left the examination grounds, the soldiers patrolling the mountain also came out.

The soldiers' hands were not empty; each of them carried the corpse of a giant wolf.

After tossing the giant wolf corpses at the foot of the mountain, the soldiers returned up the mountain.

Clearly, the soldiers' work was not yet finished. After the patrol examination ended, they still had to retrieve the giant wolf corpses.

The trucks that had previously transported the giant wolves returned.

The iron cages had been removed from the trucks, leaving their beds completely empty.

Under the soldiers' handling, the giant wolf corpses piled at the foot of the mountain boarded the trucks once more—this time as corpses.

Led by the staff, Wang Tianyu and the others returned to the place where they had gathered earlier.

At that moment, the gathering point, once bustling with people, had only Wang Tianyu's group of one hundred left.

The other nine hundred candidates had withdrawn from the martial exam as eliminated participants.

"Congratulations. You have passed this martial exam. The gates of martial arts cultivation have opened to you."

Li Wan's voice rang out beside Wang Tianyu and the others once more.

This time, Li Wan did not use a microphone. He simply raised his booming voice.

"Whew! Passing really wasn't easy."

Chen Yongguo took a deep breath.

Chen Yongguo had also passed the martial exam. Because of the rules, Wang Tianyu had not been able to help him.

In truth, even if the rules had allowed it, Wang Tianyu would not have had much chance to help Chen Yongguo.

The mountain containing the examination grounds was simply too vast.

Earlier, Wang Tianyu had not encountered Chen Yongguo at all.

It was only after returning to the foot of the mountain that Wang Tianyu came across Chen Yongguo, limping along.

Chen Yongguo had been rather lucky. Precisely because the examination grounds were so large, he had not run into any overly powerful candidates.

Chen Yongguo had killed several giant wolves himself, then seized another candidate's points.

The candidate Chen Yongguo had robbed was about as strong as he was.

Because their strength had not differed much, although Chen Yongguo eliminated that candidate, he had also suffered fairly serious injuries himself.

"Now, I have something important to tell everyone. Please pay attention."

As Li Wan's words fell, several staff members approached Wang Tianyu and the others.

The staff members moved through the crowd of candidates, handing each person a book roughly as thick as a thumb.

"Martial University Application Guide!"

Wang Tianyu curiously accepted the book and casually flipped it open, preparing to see what it contained.

Before Wang Tianyu could make out much, Li Wan's voice continued.

"After the martial exam, you will have two weeks of rest. Two weeks from now, you will enter martial university to study."

Sure enough, a martial artist's life was completely different from that of an ordinary person.

Ordinary students had more than two months of vacation after passing the college entrance examination.

But martial exam candidates like Wang Tianyu and the others were given only two weeks.

"However, before reporting to martial university, you must first choose a school that suits you."

"The book in your hands contains some basic knowledge about martial artists, as well as brief introductions to martial universities around the country and their admission standards."

Once they understood what the book contained, many people eagerly began flipping through it.

"Don't get excited. You have plenty of time to read that book."

"There is one more important matter to discuss: I will now announce your scores and rankings for this examination."

Since it was an examination, there naturally had to be scores and rankings.

The points in the score counters were Wang Tianyu and the others' examination scores.

Although everyone knew how many points they had earned, there was something even more important that they wanted to know—their rankings.

"Due to time constraints, I will not announce everyone's scores one by one. I will announce the top ten among you."

One hundred people was indeed no small number, and Li Wan did not have that much energy. So, he only gave the top ten a chance to take the spotlight.

"Tenth place: Zhang Fenggang."

"Score: 98 points."

Li Wan did not waste words and immediately began announcing the candidates' rankings.

With the mayor personally announcing the results in such circumstances, the ceremony was certainly full of pomp.

"Ugh, even tenth place has ninety-eight points. I only got a little over twenty. I wonder what rank I'll be."

A boy whose bloodstains had not even been wiped clean from his face shook his head gloomily.

"Tenth place is already this outrageous. I wonder how many points first place got."

The candidate speaking looked at his pitifully low score, his face full of misery.

"Exactly. The gap in strength is too huge."

The tenth-place candidate's score stirred up quite a discussion among the crowd.

But Li Wan paid no attention to any of that and continued with his work.

"Ninth place: Yuan Xiao."

"Score: 100 points."

Ninth place was a girl, and she happened to be standing not far from Wang Tianyu.

Being ranked ninth as a girl, she naturally made Wang Tianyu look over curiously.

The girl had short hair and looked energetic and capable.

"Yuan Xiao, congratulations."

"Congratulations, congratulations, Yuan Xiao. Now you can choose a better martial university."

Yuan Xiao seemed to have good relationships with others. Several people around her were congratulating her.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you. It's just a shame Xiaolin didn't pass. We agreed to go to martial university together."

After one glance, Wang Tianyu withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to the rankings that followed.

Although Wang Tianyu had earned quite a few points, he did not know anyone else's scores, so he still felt somewhat uneasy.

The main issue was that the examination grounds had been too vast. Though Wang Tianyu had done his best to seek out targets, he had still failed to achieve the result he had anticipated.

If the examination grounds had been a little smaller, I definitely could have earned more points.

Wang Tianyu was very confident in his own strength. That confidence was not blind; it had been tested through battle after battle.

"Third place: Huang Lei."

"Score: 212 points."

Li Wan continued announcing the scores, and they had now reached third place.

Hearing that third place had only slightly over two hundred points, Wang Tianyu figured that first place was already firmly in his grasp.

Huang Lei was an acquaintance of Wang Tianyu's. The two had fought once because of the wager between Gao Bin and Su Pengfei.

Looking toward Huang Lei, Wang Tianyu smiled at this acquaintance.

Huang Lei noticed Wang Tianyu's gaze and nodded back at him.

"Second place: Hu Li."

"Score: 288 points."

"What? I'm only second place? Who's first?"

Hu Li was a large man with a face full of flesh. With that fierce face, he did not look like a senior high school student at all.

Hu Li was very confident in his own strength and had believed that first place was surely his.

But Hu Li had not expected someone to score even higher than him.

Hu Li swept his gaze across the other candidates, trying to find the person who had snatched away his first place.

Li Wan did not keep Hu Li waiting long before announcing the winner of first place.

"First place: Wang Tianyu."

"Score: exactly 500 points."

Upon hearing Wang Tianyu's score, cries of astonishment rang out across the gathering ground.

These candidates had all just experienced the martial exam and knew very well how difficult it had been.

Precisely because the martial exam was so difficult, earning points was no easy task.

That was why they were so shocked by a score of five hundred.

Quite a few people on the field searched for the monstrous genius who had scored five hundred points.

Some people present knew Wang Tianyu, and under their guidance—

Very quickly, everyone on the field turned their eyes toward Wang Tianyu.

"Tianyu, that's way too monstrous!"

Although Chen Yongguo knew that Wang Tianyu was very strong and had already left him far behind in martial arts cultivation—

He had not expected Wang Tianyu to become this "monstrous."

"Hehe, I just got lucky. Lucky, that's all."

Wang Tianyu smiled at Chen Yongguo, with obvious pride in his tone.

"You got five hundred points just by getting lucky? Are you kidding me? I don't care—after this, you have to look out for me."

"Sure, sure."

Having taken first place as he had wished, Wang Tianyu was in an excellent mood.

To Wang Tianyu, first place was far more than an empty title; it represented tangible benefits.

Taking first place meant he could enter a good martial university and receive things such as scholarships.

Scholarships could be exchanged for energy stones, and once energy stones were converted into energy points, they could directly increase his strength.

Thus, thinking of all this put Wang Tianyu in an exceptionally good mood.

The previously arrogant Hu Li fell silent. This score had thoroughly frightened him.

A score of five hundred was simply too heaven-defying. Hu Li hastily abandoned any thought of reclaiming his dignity.
