The Practical Test Begins, Bandits Attack

Shen Hui learned the news and quietly set himself a small goal.

He would do his best to make a strong push and place in the top ten of this practical test.

That would earn him a spot in the Nascent World.

"Fellow students, I also hope that this time you can break the practical test record for the Seventh Stage set by previous classes."

"I'm sure you can't wait any longer. Without further ado, the practical test begins now!"

Wang Xinhai delivered his final declaration, and the practical test began.

The practical test took place in a world created with the World Association's special technology to test how students handled biological invasions.

It wasn't like the Borderlands, where an invading world attacked other worlds.

Soon, staff members began handing out the practical test devices.

After receiving them, all the students began entering the practical test.

Shen Hui connected his consciousness to the device, then sank into his world.

Sadako, the Pig-headed Butcher, and Tomie were all ready and waiting.

Shen Hui activated the device, and a rift opened in the gray Death World.

On the other side was a group of humans dressed in rags and holding long knives.

They were bandits, twenty in all.

As soon as they entered, they raised their long knives and shouted.

"Ha ha! We were just worrying about supplies. Once we plunder everything in this world, we'll have plenty again!"

"Men! Charge! Take everything in this world back with us!"

The bandits charged through the rift into Shen Hui's world.

But as soon as they entered, they realized something was wrong. This world was deathly still.

However, these bandits had been created to serve as trials for Shen Hui and the others.

So the thought of fleeing never crossed their minds.

They first entered the forest where Sadako was.

As soon as they did, Sadako launched an attack.

Like a ghost, she vanished from where she stood and appeared in the distance.

Soon, she appeared before the bandits.

"Look! There's a person over there!"

One of the bandits spotted Sadako and immediately alerted the others.

But by the time the others looked, Sadako had already disappeared.

"What person? Don't make a fuss over nothing."

The bandit had barely finished speaking when Sadako appeared right in front of him.

He stumbled back in fright, screamed, and fell flat on his backside.

But then his eyes turned pitch-black, and he let out a chilling laugh.

He picked up his weapon and turned it on his own men.

Fear spread, and soon the bandits were in chaos.

They knew the person who had appeared was behind it, so they attacked Sadako.

But their attacks had no effect at all.

In less than ten minutes, all the bandits had killed one another in Deadwood Forest.

"First level. Easy."

Shen Hui watched the world through his consciousness and felt no pressure at all.

The bandits on the first level were no more than ordinary people.

Shen Hui activated the device, and the second level began.

The rift opened on the second level, and another group of bandits appeared.

But their numbers had increased to fifty.

Their equipment was also a little better.

Among them was a rather burly bandit leader.

The leader brought his men charging into Shen Hui's world.

"Brothers, stay alert. Our men died here before."

"We have to avenge them!"

"Brothers, follow me!"

Led by their leader, the bandits charged into Deadwood Forest.

Sadako emerged again.

To ordinary people, Sadako was invincible.

Using her unique abilities, Sadako began another brutal slaughter.

The bandit leader had never seen anything like this and was so scared he wet himself.

"Retreat! Follow me! Get out of this forest!"

The bandit leader shouted frantically and led the survivors in an attempt to flee Deadwood Forest.

But as they ran, they headed straight for the slaughterhouse where the Pig-headed Butcher was.

And when the bandit leader spotted the slaughterhouse, he shouted without hesitation:

"Get inside!"

But they had no idea they were leaving one hell only to enter another.

As soon as they entered the slaughterhouse, a group of piglets charged out.

"Ha ha ha! There are little pigs in here! Catch them all and take them back!"

But as soon as the bandit leader finished speaking, he realized these piglets were completely unlike ordinary pigs!

They had pale blue skin, with rows of compound eyes growing across it.

They looked bizarre beyond words.

And behind the piglets followed a person with a pig's head.

"Brothers! Those pigs are clearly bad news. Kill them all!"

The bandit leader immediately led the remaining bandits in a charge, and they began fighting the pigs.

But as soon as they got close, quite a few bandits suddenly fell to the ground and began oinking.

The piglets started tearing into them.

The Pig-headed Butcher also began swinging his knife, cutting the bandits open.

The Pig-headed Butcher's level had also risen to level two.

The bandits' ordinary attacks barely hurt him.

After taking a few wounds, the Pig-headed Butcher threw himself over a corpse and began feasting.

His wounds healed in an instant.

The bandits all became meat for the Pig-headed Butcher.

The second level was cleared with ease.

Next came the third level, and Shen Hui immediately activated the device to begin.

Meanwhile, outside.

All the students were immersed in their worlds, taking the practical test.

Their rankings based on the levels they had reached appeared on a large screen beside the plaza.

Most of the students had already begun challenging the second level.

The teachers from each school had gathered together, watching the screen for changes and discussing what they saw.

"The first and second levels are both very easy. Any world that has awakened even a little supernatural power can pass them."

"That's right. Every year, the first level has a 98% clearance rate, and the second level has a 90% clearance rate. But only 51% make it through the third level."

"Can't be helped. The creatures invading on the third level all possess a little supernatural power, which naturally makes things very difficult for these students."

"Look, someone's already started challenging the third level."

Dozens of people had already begun challenging the third level, according to the rankings.

"That one's a student from Mingyi Middle School."

"That one's from Gaoxing Middle School."

"Those two were probably raised by powerful organizations."

"Qingxue from Qingshui Middle School is up there too, just as expected. She's the most promising student this year."

The teachers discussed the students challenging the third level.

Without exception, they were either among the top students at their schools or had been cultivated by powerful organizations.

But soon, one of the teachers spotted Shen Hui's name.
