Time drew ever closer.
The Examinees who had been curiously fiddling with their Live-Streaming Formation Discs grew tense. Even speaking to the camera no longer came easily.
At last.
The time arrived.
The atmosphere reached its peak when the emperor rose to speak:
"Everyone!"
"This expedition will no longer have small groups. You will be divided into four teams!"
"Leaders, step forward and introduce yourselves!"
The moment he finished speaking.
A bull Monster with two horns leaped onto the platform and roared:
"Come, join my team!"
"Examinees who follow me will explore the secrets of Border City connected to the Demon Race!"
Next.
Crown Prince Lu Qingxuan flew onto the platform, cupped his fists to the crowd, and declared:
"Examinees who follow me will search for the culprit who destroyed the city!"
Lu Chenzhou flew in from outside the hall, landed on the platform, and said with a smile:
"Examinees who follow me will face trials of life and death as we build the city's final line of defense together!"
The Examinees erupted into noisy discussion.
There was still one more!
Who was the final leader?
The Examinees looked around, searching everywhere for that leader.
The emperor laughed and said:
"The final leader is you yourselves. There are always exceptional young people with ideas of their own who don't wish to be bound by too many restrictions. Go, act according to your own will!"
"Perhaps you'll make a great contribution!"
A Black Cauldron appeared in his hand.
"Three minutes!"
"If you choose one of the first three leaders, gather around them."
"If you choose to act on your own ideas, stay where you are."
"Your time starts now!"
They had only three minutes to think!
Almost instantly.
All the young members of the Demon Race gathered around the bull demon.
