"These are the general Rule for the martial arts exam."
Xu Shanyi brought out a box of watches and distributed them, saying, "When we arrive in Tianshui City, I will have you get off the bus one by one and disperse to different locations."
"Remember to keep an eye on the red circle. It will shrink after twelve hours. You need to get into the safe zone within the circle within the next twelve hours, or you will be eliminated."
Xu Shanyi reminded him.
The bus was filled with noise, and many students were groaning.
"This martial arts exam is too difficult! I'm only at the Awakening Stage Six, and I probably won't last seven days!"
"Even First-Rank Martial Artist would have a tough time. These seven days aren't just about working non-stop; you have to explore the map and fight other people. Stamina is a major issue!"
"I definitely need to rest, but I know without a doubt that some old fox will try to ambush me!"
"It's too dangerous. One defeat and you're out of the game. If you're unlucky, even Martial Artist might fail their exams and not even do well in university!"
The students shook their heads, their voices filled with panic.
Compared to previous martial arts exams, this one was significantly more difficult.
Ning Chuan, on the other hand, remained calm, a faint smile playing on his lips.
This kind of battle royale-style martial arts exam suits him even better than arena battles!
This allows him to fully utilize his strengths, such as stamina and keen senses.
At the front of the carriage.
Seeing the expression on Ning Chuan's face, Bai Xiuxiu and Xu Shanyi exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a strange look, and they each understood what the other meant.
This martial arts exam has run right into the line of fire.
A boy sitting alone in the back row.
It's possible, indiscriminate killing will ensue!
Not long after.
Military buses arrived at a section of the city wall in Tianshui City.
" Lin Mofan, you go down first!"
Xu Shanyi opened the car door and let a student get off the bus.
at the same time.
The electronic door of the roof storage box opened, and a drone flew out, hovering above Lin Mofan's head.
This is a drone specifically for test takers.
One per person.
Filmed throughout the entire college entrance examination process.
It allows users to stream live on their personal secondary channels while also preventing students from cheating.
Snap!
The doors closed, and the military bus started again, driving around the city walls of Tianshui City, dropping off a student every ten miles or so.
Soon, it was Ning Chuan's turn.
He stepped out of the car and gazed at the Tianshui City before him with a hint of interest.
The scene before us is quite extraordinary.
The city is towering and dilapidated, lying across the land, surrounded by lush greenery, like a forest kingdom. The many buildings and various plants inside coexist and almost blend into one.
However, at the same time, there is also a clear sense of contrast.
The flourishing vegetation actually further damaged Tianshui City; in many exposed concrete areas, the metal was severely corroded, exuding a sense of desolation.
The next moment, Ning Chuan withdrew his gaze, gathering his slightly rising thoughts, not forgetting that he was currently in the midst of a martial arts exam.
Buzz!
The engine vibrated as the military bus drove away, kicking up a trail of dust.
Ning Chuan took action, raising his wrist to operate the wristwatch and check the 3D map of Tianshui City. With a quick glance, he found a suitable spot.
It was a two-story stone building.
The bright green light it emits indicates that the score on the scorecard is not low.
Moreover, the stone building was not far from him.
"Go there to get your scorecards first."
Ning Chuan made his decision, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the hovering drone. The camera beneath the drone was pointed directly at him, uploading the scene in real time.
This is a dedicated platform for live streaming the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao).
Ning Chuan's personal secondary channel has over five million viewers!
Compared to the hundreds of billions of people watching the college entrance examination live, it's incomparable; it's just a small number.
It's not that the King Physique isn't attractive enough.
The Federation college entrance exams are held independently by each administrative region, and people usually only watch the exams in their own region.
Moreover, most of what they watch is the main channel.
Reaching five million followers on a personal sub-channel is already a remarkable achievement.
"It's here! It's here! It's appearing on screen!"
"So this is the Eternal Night King Physique? Indeed, his appearance is extraordinary!"
Wow! So cool, with indifferent eyes, he's the aloof type of guy, I like him!
"Good looks make a good reason!"
In the live stream room, the barrage of comments was dense and continuous.
Tianshui City.
Ning Chuan withdrew his gaze, his face cold and stern, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.
He has been pondering how to attract traffic these days, and has considered many details.
"Let's begin."
Ning Chuan took a deep breath and slammed his feet into the ground with all his might, relying solely on the sheer power of his body without using any martial arts techniques.
Bang!
The heavy, resounding sound was full of power and magnificence!
The next moment, the stone slab more than a meter thick below exploded with a deafening roar, filling the air with smoke and dust!
Ning Chuan shot out like an arrow, piercing the air and covering a hundred meters in an instant before landing on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, he stomped down again!
Bang!
Another stone slab shattered, sending up clouds of dust.
Ning Chuan leaped another hundred meters, heading straight for the stone building.
The visually striking scene caused a huge stir, instantly turning Ning Chuan's personal live stream into a frenzy.
"Holy crap! Without using the Force, without using martial arts, just relying on physical strength, he can leap a hundred meters!"
"As expected of the King Physique!"
"I'm not trying to be argumentative, but why doesn't he use martial arts? Wouldn't that be even faster!"
"Hmm... the audience member in front is just being argumentative. The way you ask that question is like me telling you I kill without blinking an eye, and you asking me if my eyes are dry!"
The barrage of comments almost completely obscured the live stream screen.
Many viewers were utterly shocked.
Ning Chuan's physical abilities exceeded their expectations and were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The earth shook violently, with heavy thuds echoing continuously. Ning Chuan leaped nearly a hundred meters at an extremely fast speed.
Before long, they arrived at the stone building.
Ning Chuan opened the 3D map of Tianshui City and glanced at it. The green light hadn't dissipated, indicating that the score card was still there.
He entered the stone building and found the score card on a stone table on the second floor.
Next to it, there were several bottles of purified water and some instant food.
If the test takers want to survive in Tianshui City for seven days, food and water are essential.
Ning Chuan didn't pay much attention. His physical body was strong enough to withstand seven days of running without food or water.
"This is not the actual score from the martial arts exam."
Ning Chuan picked up the scorecard and noticed the number "1000" printed on it.
The maximum score for the martial arts exam is only 700.
Ning Chuan speculated that after the martial arts exam, the scores the candidates obtained in Tianshui City would be converted into real scores according to some kind of Rule.
"In that case, the point difference between first and second place could be quite large..."
Ning Chuan's eyes flickered.
He stopped thinking about it; in any case, the higher the score, the better.
"Um?!"
Suddenly, Ning Chuan's ears twitched slightly as he noticed footsteps approaching from afar.
"It's a person, weighing 70kg and 165cm tall."
"At seven o'clock, 1000 meters away from me."
At the current speed, we will arrive at Shilou in approximately 53 seconds.
Ning Chuan's improved mental abilities are not only reflected in his academic scores, but also in his ability to analyze a great deal of information in a single instant.
He did not take the opportunity to leave.
Xu Shanyi specifically stated that defeating other candidates could earn points.
These points were practically handed to me.
As for being defeated by the newcomers...
Ning Chuan wasn't worried about this at all.
Let alone defeat, based on Donglin's past college entrance examination results, there are no more than ten people in a year's candidates who can force him to go all out.
Ning Chuan put away his scorecard, grabbed a bottle of water, picked out a bag of instant food that suited his taste, and then turned around and slowly walked towards the stairs.
" King Physique is so confident, he doesn't even take all the food he finds!"
"That's called being highly skilled and daring!"
" Ning Chuan chose the spicy flavor, just like my preference!"
As the audience continued to speak, Ning Chuan walked halfway down the stairs.
Just then, a slightly chubby boy burst into the stone building.
Compared to Ning Chuan, he was younger, looking to be only about sixteen years old, with a hint of youthful innocence on his face.
But their strength is not weak.
Fiery red Force surged beneath his feet. Judging from its intensity, he had already reached the First-Rank Intermediate-Stage Martial Artist, making him one of the best candidates. As long as his luck wasn't too bad, he could definitely get into Galaxy University.
"Someone's there!"
The slightly chubby boy noticed Ning Chuan on the stairs and immediately stopped, becoming fully alert.
"I know this boy. His name is Wang Tianzhi, a genius from the gifted youth program at Beilu City No. 1 High School. He advanced to the First-Rank Martial Artist at the age of sixteen!"
A viewer from Beilu City commented in the Ning Chuan live broadcast room.
" Wang Tianzhi has an age advantage; as long as he ranks within the top 1,000 at Donglin, he can get into Galaxy University!"
"It's a pity he ran into King Physique Ning Chuan!"
"It's hard to say. What if King Physique messes up? Anyway, I don't think he knows martial arts, otherwise why wouldn't he show it!" someone mocked, wanting to see Ning Chuan make a fool of himself.
"You're talking nonsense. Ning Chuan was initially famous for his high level of martial arts!"
"Do you know that Ning Chuan, in the past, killed Third-Rank Martial Artist while only at the Awakening Stage Six?"
Some viewers familiar with Ning Chuan refuted this.
However, there were too many comments in the live stream, and in the blink of an eye, they were drowned out by subsequent messages, so not many people saw them.
Stone building.
Wang Tianzhi noticed the disappearance of the green light in the 3D map, his gaze fixed on Ning Chuan, a fiery intensity in his eyes, and said, "You took the scorecards from this building?!"
"How?"
Ning Chuan flicked his left wrist, pulled out the score card, and said calmly, "You want it?"
As he spoke, he stood at the top of the stairs, his posture upright, looking down at Wang Tianzhi, without making a move.
Creating a persona is more important than defeating your opponent.
"Certainly!"
Upon seeing the scorecard, Wang Tianzhi licked his lips, unable to hide his longing.
With his abilities, he only has a good chance of getting into Galaxy University, but he is not entirely certain of success.
Ultimately, it depends on how well you perform in the exam.
"I have no intention of transferring ownership."
Ning Chuan casually toyed with the card, his voice calm, and said, "But I don't want to waste my time either. My advice is, you'd better leave."
Upon hearing this, Wang Tianzhi felt a chill run down his spine, his muscles tensed, and he prepared to fight at any moment.
The boy in front of me was so calm.
They're probably not a weak opponent!
At the same time, Wang Tianzhi released his Force to sense Ning Chuan's strength.
If it is truly Martial Artist of rank two or above, then you should make a hasty retreat and escape immediately.
"Damn it, you almost scared me!"
The next moment, Wang Tianzhi, glared at Ning Chuan, and said irritably, "A mere Awakening Stage Nine cultivator, trying to act all high and mighty with me, doesn't know what's good for him!"
Ning Chuan, holding the card in his left hand, remained expressionless and said, "You have ten seconds left."
"Still pretending with me?!"
Wang Tianzhi chuckled and quickly said, "Nineteen, eighteen, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one! Why aren't you making a move yet!"
Ning Chuan's eyes were indifferent as he said, "You have five seconds left."
"Let's see how long you keep pretending!"
Wang Tianzhi gritted his teeth and, as he spoke, immediately took action, his feet surging with fiery red Force, amplifying his power.
"I want your scorecard, and the score that beat you!"
Wang Tianzhi shot out like a gust of wind, incredibly fast, and in just one step, he arrived at the bottom of the stairs.
Then, he took another step forward, his figure sweeping across the stairs, and pounced in front of Ning Chuan. His right palm struck out with great force, and a surge of primal Force roared out, causing the air to explode.
"Waaaaah--!"
The palm strike was incredibly powerful, stirring up all the air at the stairwell.
Wang Tianzhi's right palm emitted a surge of fiery red Force, forming a vertical monument over a meter high, radiating scorching heat.
At the same time, a profound and solid wave spread out.
Mid Thick Earth Tier Martial Art, Flame Stele!
Attacks possessing multiple attributes.
Looking at the Primal Force Monument so close at hand, Ning Chuan remained unperturbed, standing still with an indifferent expression, showing no sign of panic.
He raised his right arm and calmly threw a punch, choosing to meet the attack head-on.
Ugh!
Ning Chuan did not use the Thousand Bones Slaughter Art, but with his 18-ton punch, the power was still astonishing. The wind from his punch was like a typhoon passing through, sweeping across the stone building, and dust fell from the walls.
The oppressive heatwave from the Flame Stele was immediately shattered by the force of the fist.
"This..."
Wang Tianzhi squinted as he was struck by the force of the punch, and his expression changed.
The force of Ning Chuan's punch completely exceeded his expectations!
Wang Tianzhi couldn't believe that someone at the Awakening Realm could unleash such a powerful attack.
He knew he couldn't do it!
Fortunately, his Flame Stele was known for its powerful force and contained scorching heat, which combined to create a very strong attack!
Even the Force defenses of Martial Artist at the same level would be difficult to withstand, let alone the fist of a ninth-stage Awakening Realm.
"I am Martial Artist, possessing the Force. Before he could even hit me, the Force techniques I unleashed were enough to severely injure his fist and force him to withdraw from the competition!"
Wang Tianzhi thought to himself, his body moving without stopping, and he smashed it down fiercely!
Thump!
The next moment, the Flame Stele that Wang Tianzhi had conjured flew through the air and collided with Ning Chuan's fist, producing a sound like metal clashing.
The former's facial expression changed drastically.
His thick and solid Force Flame Stele, facing Ning Chuan's ordinary punch, not only failed to gain the upper hand, but was practically made of paper. It was crushed on the spot, shattered into pieces amidst the impact, and scattered in all directions.
"How is this possible!"
Wang Tianzhi found it hard to believe, but he didn't have time to think about it. He was on high alert. After the Force Flame Stele shattered, the power of his palm strike was reduced to less than one-tenth.
Danger!
After shattering the Force with a punch, Ning Chuan continued his momentum, striking Wang Tianzhi's palm.
We've already made contact!
Wang Tianzhi lost his composure, his heart began to race, and he even felt a chill run down his spine. Ning Chuan's attack was far too powerful; where did this Awakening Stage Nine come from?!
"Buzz--!"
Just then, the black wristwatch issued to Wang Tianzhi by the government began to vibrate.
A golden light shield exploded like lightning, instantly enveloping Wang Tianzhi's body and blocking Ning Chuan's fist.
Bang!
Ning Chuan struck the light shield, unleashing a punch with over ten tons of force that sent the shield and Wang Tianzhi flying sideways, crashing heavily into the stone wall behind them and creating large cracks.
Wang Tianzhi slid to the ground, groaning in pain.
His right hand was a bloody mess, and the white bone inside was vaguely visible.
The black wristwatch only activates its shield when it detects that a candidate is about to be seriously injured, with a tiny time lag.
Snap!
The light shield's duration ended, and with a crisp sound, it shattered and dissipated.
"Candidate Wang Tianzhi, you have been eliminated. Please leave Tianshui City immediately and proceed to the gathering point outside the city as instructed by your wristwatch."
A cold, detached voice emanated from the black wristwatch.
Upon seeing the scene before them, Ning Chuan's live stream room erupted in excitement once more, like oil being poured onto a raging fire.
"Where are those people who were saying King Physique crashed? Come out and get your comeuppance!"
Many viewers haven't forgotten the previous mockery.
"The shield has appeared, which means that Ning Chuan's punch just now could at least cripple Wang Tianzhi!"
"The two sides are not even in the same league!"
"Without martial arts techniques, without the Force, just a punch from pure flesh, yet its power is so terrifying that even First-Rank Martial Artist couldn't withstand it!"
Countless viewers were shocked.
Ning Chuan, who wields the Eternal Night King Physique, is truly terrifying!
At the staircase.
Ning Chuan leaped down and landed beside Wang Tianzhi, his dark eyes looking down at him, causing Wang Tianzhi to freeze in his tracks.
It was due to both fear and shame.
Previously, he thought Ning Chuan was just making things complicated.
In the end, he was the real clown.
"Don't be afraid. Because of the college entrance examination Rule, I can't continue to target those who have been eliminated. You're safe."
Ning Chuan's voice was indifferent, without any emotional fluctuation.
As he spoke, he continued walking, his slender, fair left hand toying with the scorecard, as he steadily left the stone building.
He used only one hand from beginning to end!
Wang Tianzhi held his breath, and his body couldn't help but shiver.
The gap between the two sides is too huge!
A world of difference!
" Ning Chuan is truly powerful; his previous words weren't just empty talk!"
"With the capability, of course you can say that!"
"Without the shield's protection, Wang Tianzhi would at least be in the ICU right now!"
"It's a little bit chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), and a bit domineering, but I love it! The King Physique command is irresistible!"
The comments section was flooded with messages.
Many audience members spoke.
Someone recorded this scene and posted it on social media, causing a huge sensation and spreading rapidly, causing the number of viewers in Ning Chuan's live stream to jump to six million!
And it's still rising!
