That evening, Chen Mu and his three companions Heaven-Questioning Pavilion.

They were among the first to arrive at the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion to take the exam, which would last for seven days.

Seven days later, there will be a second round of entrance examinations. Only those who pass the second round will be considered to have truly joined the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion and become Heaven-Questioning Pavilion disciples.

These past few days, Chen Mu has had a rare moment of leisure, and he no longer secludes himself every day. Occasionally, he goes out for a walk to experience the grandeur of the ancient academy Heaven-Questioning Pavilion.

Unfortunately, this area is not considered part of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion. The true entrance to the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion Heaven-Questioning Pavilion at the mountaintop; this is only the outer area.

While wandering around, Chen Mu also encountered some talisman masters.

Actually, Chen Mu was supposed to participate in the Talisman Master assessment today.

The evaluation criteria for the Talisman Master assessment and the Martial Arts assessment are completely different. Chen Mu's Talisman Master level is far ahead of his peers. If he goes there to participate, it will definitely be much easier for him.

However, he heard that there would be a practical assessment during the admissions re-examination, and that the battle might be dangerous. He was a little worried about Chen Duo, so he simply decided to participate in the martial arts assessment with them.

After all, once you truly enter the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, you can choose your cultivation path according to your own wishes, regardless of how you entered through the examination.

Seven days later, the preliminary examination finally ended, with more than 3,800 candidates passing. These candidates will now participate in the subsequent re-examination.

That evening, the assessment criteria for the second round of interviews were announced, and the assessment process was as follows.

Three days later, the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion will issue an identity badge to each candidate who passes the preliminary test, and then randomly teleport them into a small world formed by an array.

In this small world, candidates need to snatch identity tags from other people. After three days, the one thousand people with the most identity tags will be considered to have passed the exam.

After the assessment is completed, there will be a ranking competition. At that time, the new students who were specially admitted to the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion this year will also enter the examination room to compete for the ranking of this year's new students. The top ten candidates will receive generous rewards.

After learning about the assessment content, Chen Mu was very glad that he had chosen to participate in the martial arts assessment with Chen Duo. Otherwise, given Chen Duo's strength, she would easily have been at a disadvantage under these rules.

People Chen Duo's age rarely participate in assessments, and even if they do, they don't expect to pass the exam this time; they come more to gain experience.

However, Chen Mu didn't plan to wait another year; this time, he intended for all four of them to pass the exam together.

Although the assessment rules of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion are somewhat cruel, they have been recognized by most people. After all, the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion does not want to cultivate hothouse flowers, but rather outstanding talents who can become the cornerstone of our Human Clan.

With three days left until the re-examination, Chen Mu used these three days to prepare diligently at his residence in preparation for the brutal competition that would take place three days later.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Led by the disciples of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, Chen Mu and his companions arrived in front of a teleportation array.

"This is a teleportation jade token. If you encounter any life-threatening danger, you can activate this jade token, which will generate a light shield to send you away from the small world inside."

However, activating the jade token means you have forfeited this assessment, which means you have failed. Therefore, you must use it with extreme caution.

The disciples of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion guarding the teleportation array distributed a jade token to each examinee and explained its function.

After receiving the jade token, Chen Mu stared blankly at the teleportation array beside him.

Chen Mu's recent research into the spatial dagger had given him a much better understanding of spatial manipulation, and now, seeing such a massive teleportation array, he couldn't help but want to explore it further.

However, he knew that now was not a good time, so he quickly composed himself and waited for the Zi'an of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion to arrange the teleportation.

"Alright, you lot, come in!"

It's not uncommon for candidates to form small groups. The Heaven-Questioning Pavilion disciple in charge of the teleportation saw that they were a group and simply told them to go in together.

Although the location where the teleportation array transports them to the small world is random, if they enter at similar times and through the same teleportation array, the teleportation location will often be closer.

The Heaven-Questioning Pavilion does not object to its disciples forming groups; organizational ability is itself a manifestation of strength, provided that they are all candidates who entered the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion this year.

Even for some powerful forces, it is difficult to gather a large number of candidates who can Heaven-Questioning Pavilion in the same year. Therefore, Heaven-Questioning Pavilion is quite lenient about this situation, which is also a test for the candidates.

The first to enter the teleportation array was Mingye, followed by A Huo, Chen Duo, and finally Chen Mu.

After Chen Mu stood in the middle of the teleportation array, he could feel dense spatial particles floating around him. As the array was activated, those particles gradually arranged themselves according to a specific pattern, forming a spatial channel.

A powerful suction force came, and Chen Mu felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if he were floating in the ocean.

A moment later, Chen Mu opened his eyes and found himself on a lush green lawn.

Snap! Boom!

Unexpectedly, he heard the sounds of fighting as soon as he arrived. Chen Mu quickly ran up to a nearby dense tree and, using the cover of the leaves, slowly approached the location of the fight.

"Drop the nameplate to avoid physical pain!"

Both fighters were at the Middle Stage of the Qi Nourishing Realm, judging from their Spiritual Power power. The one with the upper hand was a woman in a green robe, who wielded a shuttle-shaped magic weapon, flying back and forth in the air with great destructive power, putting the man opposite her in grave danger.

Chen Mu was secretly amazed. For martial arts practitioners, only by breaking through to the True Spirit Realm can they release their Spiritual Qi and thus control weapons to attack enemies. The woman in green could control her magic weapon in the Qi Nourishing Realm, so it must be at least a fourth-grade magic weapon.

Back in the Wilderness, Chen Mu had never seen a treasure of grade four or higher. He never expected that a woman he casually encountered here would possess such a powerful treasure. He suddenly felt the awkwardness of a country bumpkin visiting the city.

Since inventing the rune printer, Chen Mu had always considered himself a small-time tycoon, but now he clearly realized that compared to these prodigies who were nurtured by various powerful forces, his wealth was really nothing.

Under the woman in green's attack, the man finally couldn't hold on and disappeared into the air as a white light, leaving only a nameplate lying on the ground.

The teleportation jade tablet has the function of protecting the host. If the host suffers fatal damage, it will automatically activate even if the host does not actively activate it, protecting the host from leaving this small world.

"Why hide your true colors? If you want my nameplate, just come and take it!"

The woman in the green dress picked up the nameplate from the ground and then called out in the direction where Chen Mu was hiding.

Chen Mu was startled, but through the crosshair, he could clearly see that the woman in the green dress had unfocused eyes.

He chuckled to himself, realizing he'd almost been tricked.
