As a third-year high school student rushing towards the College Entrance Exam, he had already finished all the courses he needed to learn. The last hundred days were mainly filled with all kinds of exams. Every Monday morning, there would be a very important mock exam.
Under the teacher's impatient urging, Li Yao took a deep breath and stepped into the "exam cabin" marked with his student number. The cabin door closed and the entire world was deathly still.
"Even without Peng Hai's personal guidance, I will still enter the Nine Elite Universities. I will risk my life, who am I afraid of?" Li Yao fiercely clenched his fists.
"Beep! Beep! Beep! " On a hologram inside the exam cabin, a number jumped and counted down. When the number turned to zero, an ice-cold voice without ripples sounded, "The exam begins. Examinee, get ready!"
Tens of thousands of talismans engraved inside the exam cabin flashed at the same time. Li Yao only felt a blur in front of his eyes. The stars moved and he appeared in the middle of a reddish-brown desert.
The ground was scorching hot and his feet felt as if they were being pricked by needles. The air was so thick that it was almost solidified. It was as if a wet towel was wrapped around his body. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free. Occasionally, a hot wind would blow over, mixed with a strong smell of blood. From all directions, he could faintly hear the cries of ghosts and howls of wolves.
His five senses were so vivid. It was as if his feet were on solid ground and he was in an Asura killing field.
However, Li Yao knew that this was the "Great Illusionary Land" created by the exam cabin. Time was of the essence. He composed himself and rushed towards the direction of a transparent arrow in the sky.
The 50 kilometer long distance cross-country run was one of the basic subjects of the Federation's College Entrance Exam. In order to select the elite youths who had hopes of becoming cultivators, danger lurked on every side and trap after trap.
Sure enough, when Li Yao passed by a slightly raised mound, the mound suddenly burst open and shot out countless crushed stones. From the crushed stones, a yellow two-headed sand wolf scuttled out!
This type of demon beast was larger than an ordinary wild wolf. Its back bulged high and on top of it grew a deformed small head. It was a variant of the low-level demon beast "sand wolf". Aside from being good at hibernating in the sand, it also possessed extremely high intelligence. For high school students, it was an extremely troublesome opponent.
But for Li Yao, a "vulture" who had lived in the Artifact Graveyard for 18 years, observing every inch of the environment had long since become an instinct. The two-headed sand wolf's disguise was somewhat clumsy and had long been seen through by him.
"Damn it!"
Without waiting for the two Sand Wolves to completely scurry out, Li Yao's legs shot out. His body shrunk into a ball, and his shoulders sunk. Like a berserk giant bear, he ruthlessly rammed over!
The timing he chose was very clever, precisely at the highest point of the two-headed sand wolf's flight. His old strength was exhausted, there was no place to borrow strength, and he was unable to change direction, so he was hit head-on.
"Crack!"
The two-headed sand wolf was treacherous and cunning, but its physique was weak. It only liked to launch sneak attacks and was not good at direct confrontation. Its spine was broken by his "Giant Bear Rush", and it bounced back into the sandpit.
Li Yao sneered and stepped forward with his snake steps. His claws were like blades as he fiercely grabbed at the small head on the back of the two-headed sand wolf.
"Iron Eagle Claw!"
The wolf's head instantly shattered, and the Two-Headed Sand Wolf let out a blood-curdling scream. It was deader than dead.
A pleasant "ding ding" sound came from the void. It was the examination cabin calculating the score of Li Yao's kill this time.
Li Yao was secretly delighted. This set of continuous skills that originated from the foundational martial art, "Thirteen Forces of Warbeasts", could at least add ten points to his score.
He was not in a hurry to continue his journey. Instead, he dragged the corpse of the two-headed sand wolf out of the sandpit, found a stone with sharp edges, and cut open the demon beast's stomach.
A moment later, the four ribs were polished into four bone blades, and the wolf skin was barely tied into a water bag filled with wolf blood.
In the scorching desert, a bag of wolf blood could save a life.
Fully armed, after a little rest, Li Yao continued forward. In less than an hour, he had already withstood a black storm and killed four low-level demon beasts. However, the examination had just begun, and this was only a warm-up. What followed was the most painful part for every Federation examinee.
In the sky, green runes poured down like a torrential rain, forming a question:
"Xiao Ming is a Refinement Stage cultivator with 5500 crystals of spiritual energy. During one of his cultivation, he was accidentally hit by a strange 'Heart Devouring Bug'. Every second, 48 crystals of spiritual energy would be devoured. Xiao Ming's master discovered this after 1 minute and 13 seconds. In order to save him, 55 crystals of spiritual energy would be transferred into his body every second. Furthermore, two minutes later, the amount increased to 59 crystals of spiritual energy per second. Question —"
"First, how long will it take for Xiao Ming to return to his normal level of spiritual energy?"
"Second, please briefly describe the refining method of the 'Heart Devouring Bug', as well as the symptoms and treatment steps after being hit by the Heart Devouring Bug."
"Third, please state which sect was the first to successfully refine the 'Heart Devouring Bug'? Name at least five sect masters of the sect, and briefly describe the reason for the sect's demise. "
Li Yao lightly patted his cheeks. He didn't expect that the first question would be such a difficult "comprehensive question". It blended mathematics, history, pharmacology, battlefield first aid, and many other subjects of knowledge. It was worthy of being called a completely simulated "Mock College Entrance Exam"!
Focusing his mind and calming his breathing, he carefully pondered. In his mind, countless amounts of accumulated knowledge emerged. Li Yao concentrated his mind and answered at lightning speed. He "tackled" one small question after another. Very soon, lines of light blue answers written using telepathic thoughts appeared below the green questions.
Answer complete. Next question!
"A righteous cultivator of the 'Spirit Mountain Sect' is standing on a flying sword. From the east, he is flying at a speed of 247 meters per second towards a valley. Another evil cultivator of the 'Blood Slaughter Fort' is standing on a black cloud. From the west, he is flying at a speed of 239 meters per second. Currently, the distance between the two is 122.5 kilometers. Question: How long will it take for them to meet?"
"Assuming that the two have equal cultivation and are both using their respective sect's basic techniques and magical equipment, please combine the characteristics of the Spirit Mountain Sect and the Blood Slaughter Fort to deduce the course of their battle. Deduce at least seven rounds. No less than 500 words."
This question was clearly much simpler than the previous one. However, just as Li Yao was about to answer the question, a pungent Demon Beast aura once again came from the front. Anxious low roars were getting closer and closer.
… Calculating and answering questions in a foul wind and rain of blood. It was a competition of the examinee's physical strength, martial skills, willpower, calculation ability, and mental agility. Only those who were outstanding in all aspects would be able to stand out in the Federation's College Entrance Exam and step onto the road of cultivation!
Li Yao crossed his arms and pulled out two white bone blades. He licked his lips and faced the attack head-on. Tens of thousands of thoughts incessantly tumbled about in his mind as he calculated at high speed …
The enormous campus was absolutely silent. Every classroom had several dozen exam cabins. In the Great Illusionary Land, each and every third year student was madly struggling and struggling. They killed Demon Beast after Demon Beast and answered question after question.
Unknowingly, more than four hours had already passed in the Great Illusionary Land. The exam was nearing its end.
Li Yao's entire body was covered with seventy to eighty large and small wounds. In many places, blood had already flowed out. In particular, there was still a Demon Beast tooth stuck in his abdomen. He didn't dare to pull it out. The bone blades in his hands were also nearly worn out.
Only his large, sparkling eyes remained as clear as before. They didn't conceal the radiance that was gushing out.
"It should be the last question …"
When the octagonal light rolled down from the sky and the glittering runes, Li Yao relied on his rich exam experience to determine that this was the last big question worth 100 points, the "Summary Question".
