The incident at the school gate at noon quickly spread.
Ordinary World Walker didn't care much about this matter; they simply sighed a few times, marveling at Ling Yi's good luck.
But some people think differently.
Lü Badao and Liu Qingshan were currently sitting in a car, heading towards the World Inspection Bureau.
"Director, what do you think?" Lü Badao asked Liu Qingshan.
Liu Qingshan shook his head. "This matter isn't a question of how we should view it; it's useless no matter how we view it. The main thing is to see how the Shen Family and the Jiang Family will view it."
"We are merely pawns."
Lü Badao frowned. "Aren't we going to do anything?"
If he does nothing, what will happen to his son? Wouldn't that be tantamount to rendering him useless?
He only has one son.
Since the arrival of the Literary Dao Purple Light, the human birth rate has declined significantly.
Literary Dao Purple Light explained that the stronger one's power, the more difficult it is for one's descendants to be born.
Therefore, most people now try to have children as early as possible.
Once Battle Power increases, it will be even more difficult to have offspring.
The Shen Family is an example. Shen Xinian is alright, after all, when he got married, the Literary Dao Purple Light had not yet descended.
She had four sons.
However, Shen Yunchen got married relatively late, and it was only after the arrival of the Literary Dao Purple Light that they started having children.
As a result, Shen Mengmeng was an only child.
Uncle Yu and other relatives, their situation was even worse than Shen Yunchen's.
Back then, in order to compete for the position of family head, Shen Yunchen's brothers were all desperately trying to improve their Battle Power.
Shen Xinian, however, discovered early on that the Literary Dao Purple Light would affect his offspring.
He directly told Shen Yunchen that whoever marries and has children first will become the head of the family.
No one expected that Shen Yunchen, who had been giving up, would end up having a child first.
No, it should be said that Shen Yunchen was the only father of Shen Mengmeng, a daughter.
None of my other uncles or aunts have any children yet.
This is the main reason why the Shen Family dotes on Shen Mengmeng so much.
As for the collateral descendants, apart from Su Ruoxue, none of them were particularly outstanding.
Although Su Ruoxue was raised by the Shen Family from a young age, she was, after all, from a collateral branch. She could assist Shen Mengmeng, but it was impossible for her to become the head of the family.
The Shen Family was in a similar situation, and so was the Jiang Family.
Or rather, most families are in a similar situation.
The higher the Battle Power, the more difficult it is to have offspring.
This incident caused considerable panic at the time, and some more extreme individuals even proposed the theory that Literary Dao Purple Light was part of a conspiracy to Miejue humanity.
Fortunately, Literary Dao Purple Light later provided another explanation.
This situation is only temporary. Once the Literary Dao Tower is cleared, the issue of future generations will be resolved.
"What can we do? Can we offend the Shen Family, or the Jiang Family?" Liu Qingshan shook his head helplessly.
"But..."
"Calm down. Right now, someone is more anxious than us. Jiang Nianchen is the future heir of the Jiang Family. The Jiang Family will not let this go."
After a pause, Liu Qingshan added, "I do have some other guesses."
"What?"
"Have you noticed that anyone who can't settle their Literary World revenue accounts has someone dead on their hands?"
Lü Badao nodded. "That's true, but what does that prove?"
"If we could compensate the victims and their families, would things change?"
"Atonement?"
That's what I mean.
Is there any point in doing this?
"Let's try anything, it's better than doing nothing. Besides, there's nothing else we can or shouldn't do."
Is doing this even useful?
Even Ling Yi was unaware of this.
Ling Yi currently only knows about binding and unbinding, but he really doesn't know under what conditions a tool can automatically unbind.
At this moment, Ling Yi and Shen Mengmeng had just seen off Shen Mengmeng's grandfather and father.
The old man didn't say much to Ling Yi; it seemed that this time, he was just there to provide Ling Yi with support.
"Aren't you curious why my grandfather came?" Shen Mengmeng couldn't help but laugh when she saw Ling Yi's bewildered expression.
"Did you call them over?"
"Actually, my grandfather has wanted to meet you for a long time, but he's always been busy and hasn't had a suitable opportunity."
"My grandfather didn't expect to meet you so soon, but the Jiang Family has too many tricks up their sleeves. They even dared to use the power of the World Inspection Bureau to forcibly test your talent with the Purple Light Stone."
"That's going a bit too far."
"Talent is everyone's secret, and no one has the right to detect it, not even the World Inspection Bureau. If you refused their World Inspection Bureau just now, then they have nothing to say."
"That's why my grandfather came here, but he never imagined that you would be completely unafraid of this kind of testing."
"Yes!" Ling Yi nodded.
Although Grandpa Shen's efforts were in vain, the other party's purpose was to help him.
This is a favor, and considering the connection with Shen Mengmeng, I'll have to make it up to this old man later.
"Let's go eat first. After all this commotion, more than half an hour has passed. I'm hungry!" Shen Mengmeng said, rubbing her stomach.
At 1:30 PM, the second part of the college entrance examination, also known as the challenge, began.
The process was very interesting.
First, the proctor used Purple Light Stone to communicate with the Literary Dao Purple Light.
With the help of Literary Dao Purple Light, all candidates are pulled into an independent virtual space.
Of course, only the consciousness enters; the body does not enter the virtual space.
In the virtual space, there will be a challenge option.
After selecting the challenge, you will appear on the arena and Combat the projections of beings from the Literary World.
Each candidate must complete at least ten challenges, and has only three chances to fail.
After three failures, you will be ejected from the challenge space.
Candidates can choose the level of the challenge they want to achieve; the higher the level, the higher the score.
In other words, as long as the candidate has the ability, they can fight against Ninth Tier opponent even if they are at Zeroth Tier.
However, while candidates can choose to challenge enemies of different ranks, they cannot challenge the same rank of enemy three times in a row.
Otherwise, points will no longer be accumulated.
Is the challenge easy?
No, there's a huge problem here.
That is, the challenge comes from the Literary World, and the strong in the Literary World all come with special effects and skills.
But Martial Practitioner, unfortunately, have no skills whatsoever.
Especially for high school students who are only at Zeroth Tier or First Tier, Combat depends entirely on their attributes.
If they are of the same rank, one has special effects while the other doesn't, the outcome of the Combat is predictable.
Ling Yi found it very interesting.
There are two interesting aspects, one of which is the challenge design.
One is Purple Light Stone.
Ling Yi knew that he could use the Purple Light Stone to communicate with the Literary Dao Purple Light and do some things.
But I never knew that I could do so many things.
For example, the previous bet, the trade of Battle Power.
The fact that Battle Power could be traded was truly beyond Ling Yi's expectations.
I need to study Purple Light Stone properly later.
Or rather, study the rules of Literary Dao Purple Light carefully.
Perhaps we'll discover even more interesting things.
At this moment, it was Ling Yi's turn to take on the challenge.
Before Ling Yi could react, the scene before him changed, and Ling Yi found himself on the arena.
On the other side of the arena, Ling Yi's opponent had been waiting for quite some time.
This is a woman, dressed in a light white gauze dress, with flowing long hair, holding a long sword with a snow-white outer shell in her arms.
His face was aloof and handsome, his gaze icy and arrogant.
This woman looks so familiar!
She resembles a certain celebrity from a previous life, Yang... no, Lu Xueqi!
"Are you Lu Xueqi?" Ling Yi asked.
The woman opposite him paused for a moment when she heard Ling Yi call her name, then slowly nodded.
Lu Xueqi is the female protagonist in the novel Zhu Xian *.
It's not surprising that the female protagonist in the novel is like that, since her targets are all from the Literary World.
But if it's Lu Xueqi, then something's not right.
