At 7:00 a. m. the next morning, Qin Ze arrived at the examination room on time for security check.
The second round of the martial arts exam had 256 participants.
The teams are drawn into pairs for head-to-head matches, with the winners advancing to the next round until a champion is determined.
Each battle is spaced one hour apart, allowing candidates ample rest.
Qin Ze, who had just drawn his opponent, was warming up on the sidelines before the exam.
Suddenly, the key vibrated.
Qin Ze frowned as he read the contents of the chat group.
[ Yao Yuan: The Tide has begun. @Beast Tamer Deer Cry Yo-Yo, you didn't enter the Abyss. If the Tide really appears around you, be sure to open your Shelter Space immediately.]
[ Yao Yuan: Also, be extremely careful of Hunting Beast. If you Hunting Beast, kill it immediately, otherwise it will discover and lock onto your Shelter Space.]
Qin Ze was startled.
The Shelter Space wasn't entirely hidden after all.
Surprisingly, a strange beast was able to discover it.
Qin Ze glanced at the balance of the Source of the World in his hand.
There are still more than twenty left.
Saving the dog's life is enough.
[ Yao Yuan: The Hunting Beast is a humanoid black panther that specifically hunts us Hunter.]
[ Yao Yuan: My advice is, if you see Tide nearby, immediately activate your Shelter Space and run away quickly. Staying alive is the most important thing.]
Qin Ze had never seen Yao Yuan say so many things in a row in the group chat before.
This is sufficient proof that the situation is extremely serious.
[ Fairies Don't Poop: I've never seen so many strange beasts in my life...]
[ Passerby A: Is this the first time Fairy has come to Penglai City?]
[ Fairies Don't Poop: First time during the Tide ]
[ Scholar: I'm about to break through; I hope this battle against the Tide will give me some insights.]
[ Slacking on the Sidelines: Seriously, I'm fed up. One old man was troublesome enough, and now they've added a bunch of Hunting Beast.]
[ Passerby A: A pack of Hunting Beast? Brother Shui, you'd better pray for yourself.]
[ Fairies Don't Poop: Little Deer, good luck today, get the top score! The Tide are random, you won't be that unlucky.]
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: I'll do my best (•̀⌄•́)]
The exam bell interrupted Qin Ze's thoughts.
Just how terrifying are the Tide that even Brother Yuanzi fears?
There are also Hunting Beast.
Why do these alien beasts keep invading Myriad Races?
As his thoughts wandered, Qin Ze's first-round opponent stepped onto the ring.
"You dare to be distracted during a ring match? You're really treating me like I'm not human!"
The bespectacled man standing not far in front of Qin Ze was furious.
Coming to his senses, Qin Ze quickly said, "I was just thinking about something."
The bespectacled man scoffed, "Don't think you can look down on everyone just because you're ranked number one in the Heaven-Reaching Tower."
"Let me tell you, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding!"
Qin Ze nodded in deep agreement. "So what number are you?"
The bespectacled man stood tall and proud, like a haughty rooster.
Two hundred and fifty-six.
Qin Ze was speechless.
Goodness!
How did you manage to shout out "256" in a tone even more arrogant than the number one winner?
The bespectacled man continued, "In some ways, it's Fairness that we, the two number one, are facing off."
when--
The gong sounded for the duel.
Qin Ze flexed his wrists.
"Then let's go."
Even Lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.
Qin Ze did not underestimate this 256.
The other party's confident demeanor suggests they have some trump card up their sleeve.
Qin Ze circulated his qi and blood, just as he was about to exert his strength, when the bespectacled man performed a backflip and jumped off the stage, landing steadily.
The whole process was incredibly smooth, as if I had practiced it countless times.
Qin Ze, who was in the middle of practicing his breathing technique, almost strained his back.
No, where's your trump card?
The bespectacled man looked at Qin Ze and said arrogantly, "I won't fight someone who disrespects me. You're not worthy."
After saying that, the bespectacled man turned and left with a flourish.
The referee then announced the result.
"The victor is Qin Ze."
Qin Ze walked off the stage speechlessly.
"That Laoliu is hilarious!"
"You know what, that shamelessness is quite similar to ours."
Don't drag me into this, I have my pride.
"You have no shame! Last time you were the one who licked the Giant Overlord the most enthusiastically."
"Fanning your own brother is not true 'fanning'? You know nothing."
"..."
The clone was also amused by the bespectacled man.
The Local Area Network network was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Qin Ze's opponents in the next four rounds all forfeited before even playing.
Casualties are permitted in martial arts exams.
Having made it to the second round of the competition, being admitted to Wuhan University is practically a done deal.
In addition, Qin Ze was the ruthless person who cleared the Heaven-Reaching Tower the fastest.
Fighting him would result in serious injury at best, and death at worst.
Not worth it.
And just like that, Qin Ze advanced smoothly to the quarterfinals without even lifting a finger.
On the stage, Qin Ze was taken aback when he saw his top eight contestants.
"You were absolutely right."
Xie Xueying, on the other side of the ring, couldn't help but smile.
Qin Ze said calmly, "I really didn't expect to be drawn as the class monitor."
Xie Xueying's blood and qi surged, and a layer of the Fate Reversal Technique was activated.
"I actually really want to have a match with you."
Qin Ze nodded. "Then let's do it."
As the gong sounded, Xie Xueying rushed towards Qin Ze.
It must be said that the class monitor's physical skills are indeed excellent; he is one of the best among his peers.
Unfortunately, her opponent was a psychopath.
Seeing that Qin Ze was only going through the motions, Xie Xueying said in a deep voice, "Can you show me your true strength?"
Xie Xueying had gained a basic understanding of Qin Ze's strength during her last Black Mountain Research Institute.
This time, Qin Ze broke the Heaven-Reaching Tower record again, and she felt that she was getting further and further away from this boy.
Qin Ze practiced with his opponent for over ten rounds, then said calmly, "Squad leader, watch closely. My technique of receiving, neutralizing, and releasing attacks is a masterful use of leverage."
Qin Ze pushed forward with his right hand, and Xie Xueying felt a gentle but tremendous force. She was forced to stagger backward and fell off the stage.
"The victor is Qin Ze."
Hearing the referee's voice, Xie Xueying finally came to her senses.
Is this Qin Ze's true strength?
He could push her dozens of meters with just one hand.
Xie Xueying was filled with regret.
"Squad leader."
Xie Xueying looked up and saw Qin Ze giving her a thumbs up.
She was taken aback at first, then a carefree smile appeared on her face.
I will catch up with you!
The final four were quickly announced.
Fang Songhua vs. Ge Pengfei.
Qin Ze versus Zhang San.
Zhang San fought his way through the competition, defeating his opponents in no more than three moves each time.
" Qin Ze, I've been looking forward to fighting you since yesterday."
Although I am not as skilled as you, I will never back down!
"Come on, let me exchange a few blows with you!"
Zhang San Blood Boiling.
A martial artist can only grow stronger by fighting against the strong.
He couldn't wait.
Swish--
A blur of motion suddenly rushed in front of me.
Zhang San felt a burning pain on his face, and then he flew high into the air, with the scenery on both sides rushing past him.
Bang--
Zhang San landed on the ground in a spread-eagle position, completely disoriented, his face swelling up like a pig's head.
"You talk too much nonsense."
Qin Ze flicked his wrist, turned around, and walked off the stage.
Zhang San, lying on the ground, looked up at the sky and sighed heavily.
He felt he was being treated differently.
(The martial arts exam is over in another chapter. I'll create the group later. I doubt many people will join now.)
(Could you waste a few seconds of your lifespan to give me a chance to generate electricity with love, so that everyone can live forever?)
