Xie Tingxian's eyeballs suddenly popped out of their sockets. Every wrinkle on his face was trembling. His right hand drew a spirit glyph, and a purple light enveloped the crystal processor.
After a long time, Xie Tingxian slowly nodded his head. He carefully sensed every bit of aura left behind by the maintainer.
"Now that you've said it, I'll use my telepathic thoughts to carefully analyze it. I can actually taste a few places that aren't too skillful. There are one or two connecting points that are a bit rough. However, for a high school student to be able to do this is already very amazing."
"I don't really understand. He's just an ordinary high school student. His Actualization Quotient doesn't exceed 70%. Is he that amazing?" Si Jiaxue couldn't help but ask.
"It's precisely because his Actualization Quotient doesn't exceed 70% that he can complete such an exquisite work. That's even more amazing! What's the name of this student of yours? Did he participate in this competition? "Xie Tingxian asked, full of interest.
"His name is Li Yao. I have some information here. Grandpa Xie can take a look."
Si Jiaxue opened up a few videos from her crystal processor.
"Oh, it's this little guy?"
Xie Tingxian stared blankly for a moment. Then, he displayed a smile from the bottom of his heart and repeatedly nodded. "A very interesting young man. It seems that I'll have to pay close attention to him in the competition."
… …
The next morning, at 8: 30, three thousand examinees gathered on the rear deck of the Distant Expanse.
The spacious rear deck was packed to the brim. Three thousand hot-blooded youths made a racket together, nearly overturning the sturdy deck of the ship.
Through yesterday's exchange, everyone understood the strength and foundation of the Nine Elites. They also had an even stronger longing for the endless mysteries of the cultivation world.
"KILL KILL KILL! I must kill to my heart's content on Devil Flood Dragon Island. I must stand out among the three thousand examinees and obtain the attention of the Federation's First Military Academy. I must become a glorious military academy student!" In the crowd, a tall youth with a face full of red pimples roared.
"I'm most proficient in refining medicine. It's said that there are over ten thousand different kinds of herbs and medicinal plants on Devil Flood Dragon Island. Let me properly display my skills for the Empyrean Capital Medical Academy's observers to see!" Beside him, a pretty girl with slightly tanned skin spoke with complete confidence.
"I've been ambitious since I was young. I wanted to be a great general and command thousands of troops! If I make it to the finals, the people in my team will be lucky. I will definitely be able to organize everyone and kill the enemy like a real Union Army! "The third youth, who was short but had a strong aura, said.
The three thousand youths were all chosen from more than a dozen cities and towns. No matter how strong they were, they were absolutely confident.
On both sides of the cabin, observers from the Nine Elite Universities, military representatives, and many students and teachers gathered together. They looked at the youths who were bursting with confidence. They smiled and sighed with emotion.
"Year after year, time really flies. Every time I see these little guys, I think of the days when we participated in the Limit Challenge Competition together. Back then, we were really young!"
"That's right. It's precisely because there are so many new blood every year that the Xing Yao Federation is able to grow stronger and stronger under the invasion of the Demon Beasts!"
"I wonder how many good seedlings will emerge from this year's batch of students who have the qualifications to tread on the path of cultivation? I'll say this first. Old Zhang, I've already taken a liking to examinee number 2087. In a moment, you absolutely must not fight with me over him! "
"Haha, examinee number 2087? Then I'll have to pay close attention to him in a moment. If he really is a good seedling, then everyone will rely on their own abilities to see who offers the highest price! "
In a corner of the rear deck area where the sky was boiling, Li Yao stood calmly. The white Puji Critter was peacefully squatting on his head. Its head tilted to one side as if it was taking a nap.
He was so nervous that he couldn't sleep for the entire night. In the latter half of the night, he simply got up to study the competition rules. Li Yao's eyes were somewhat red, but his spirit was still very good. He was so good that he was somewhat "excited".
This was because he discovered that there seemed to be a loophole in the competition rules. Or perhaps it could be said that it was an "opportunity" that only he could exploit.
He just didn't know if the tactics he formulated around this "loophole" would be effective or not.
If they were successful, then he had 90% certainty that he would be able to charge into the top 50 of the finals!
As he pondered in his heart, the light before his eyes dimmed. A tall figure suddenly appeared and looked down at him from above.
It was Helian Lie!
"Student Li Yao, Devil Flood Dragon Island is very large, but sometimes it can also be very small. I hope that you will withdraw from the competition as soon as possible. Don't run into me on Devil Flood Dragon Island." Helian Lie said each word with a pause. The forced smile was somewhat sinister.
Li Yao looked at him with a tranquil expression. After a long time, he took out earplugs from his ears. Violent music came from the earplugs.
"Huh? Student Helian Lie, what did you just say? Sorry, I was listening to the music and didn't hear clearly. Can you repeat it? "Li Yao said somewhat perplexedly.
Helian Lie's face flushed red. He snorted coldly, turned around, and left, disappearing into the crowd.
Gazing at his back, Li Yao faintly smiled. A trace of the "vulture's" malevolence could be faintly discerned in his smile.
"Actually, I'm also looking forward to meeting you on Devil Flood Dragon Island, Student Helian Lie!"
Right at this moment, in front of the deck, an enormous screen of light flashed.
What appeared in the center of the screen of light was a face that seemed to have been carved by a knife and an axe. Deep in his eye sockets, his eyes were like the entire universe, flashing with the brilliance of thousands of stars.
"It's Xu Haoran! It's the Chairman of the Federation, Xu Haoran!" Quite a few students cried out in alarm.
"Fellow students, it's time for the annual Limit Challenge Competition. Today, you are all young eagles that have yet to spread their wings and soar high. You have yet to set foot on the road of cultivation!"
"But in the near future, you will all become the pillars of your country. You will defend your homeland, defend the Federation, defend the dignity and hope of human civilization!"
"Therefore, fight hard. For yourselves, for the future of the Federation, for the future of human civilization!"
"Remember, humans are the strongest fighting race in the endless sea of stars, and cultivators … are the shining blades of human civilization! Wherever the blade points, you will slay demons and eliminate devils, destroy mountains and temples, exterminate nations, expand your territory, and conquer the entire universe! "
"I hope that all of you can become such cultivators. I hope that all of you can become the blades of human civilization! I wish all of you success! "
Chairman of the Federation, Xu Haoran, stood up from behind his desk and took a step back. His expression was solemn and respectful as he performed a standard military salute towards the three thousand youths.
Demon beasts ran amok in the Tian Yuan Realm, and the Xing Yao Federation was founded on military might. The highest leaders were all soldiers. The military salute was also the highest form of etiquette, representing the highest respect.
"Chairman of the Federation, Xu Haoran, is actually performing a military salute towards us high school students?"
"For the future of the Federation, for the future of human civilization? W-do we have such great strength? "
"Of course we do! Although we are only ordinary high school students right now, think about those Core Formation Stage cultivators. Yuanying freaks. Which one of them didn't start from elementary school, middle school, and high school? None of them became Yuanying freaks the moment they were born! If they can, then so can we! "
"One day, I will also become an awe-inspiring great cultivator. I will slay demon beasts and defend the Federation!"
"Slay demons and eliminate devils, destroy mountains and temples, exterminate nations, expand our territory, and conquer the entire universe … Great! This is the path I want to walk on. This is the destiny of cultivators. I can't wait any longer!"
Xu Haoran's military salute completely ignited the atmosphere in the hall. The three thousand youths all entered a frenzied state.
The same scene was also happening in the other competition zones. The blood of countless youths was boiling to the extreme!
Seeing that the morale had been raised to the extreme, a black-clothed officer with the skull of a demon beast on his shoulder stood on the upper deck and loudly announced,
