Following the conclusion of Greenwood's Alchemy Apprentice exam, the annual Aoki University's Alchemy Apprentice exam finally began.
There were thousands of human cities, and each city only had ten places. Regardless of whether they were rich or poor, all children over the age of ten could sign up for the competition.
Early in the morning, accompanied by Yafu and Yanni, Swallow Return, dressed in a green robe, rushed to the examination venue of Greatwood City … ….
Along the way, Yafu and Yanni spoke one after another about the things to pay attention to in the exam. They seemed to be even more nervous than Yan Guilai.
Yan Guilai didn't care about this exam. He didn't believe that he was worse than anyone else. As long as he worked hard, it would be fine. Even if the results weren't satisfactory, it didn't matter.
Along the way to the exam venue, he looked around … In the huge square outside the exam venue, there were over a hundred thousand children gathered here. These children were the exam candidates for this year's exam.
Yan Guilai came at the right time. Thus … as soon as he arrived, the Greenwood City's Alchemy Apprentice exam officially began.
After passing this exam, Greatwood City would select one hundred candidates from the hundred thousand candidates to enter the national exam.
As the exam began, the fence on the east side of the square was opened. All the children participating in the exam rushed over …
Mixed in with the crowd, Yan Guilai rushed over. Yafu and Yanni continuously cheered him on from the side. They were even more excited than if they were participating in the exam themselves.
Finally, mixed in with the crowd, Yan Guilai arrived at the fence. Looking around, above the fence, there was a huge signboard.
On the signboard, the rules of the exam were written, as well as the things to pay attention to.
The first stage of the exam was to run around the city …
After the exam began, everyone would follow the road around Greatwood City and run around the city. The first ten thousand people to arrive would enter the next stage of the exam.
Faced with such a test standard, Yan Guilai couldn't help but frown. Why were the test standards so strange?
According to the assessment method that Yan Guilai had learned from Shangguan Qianqiu, the first round should be to test a student's innate talent and attribute, as well as their ability to differentiate medicinal properties. How could it be a test of endurance and perseverance?
However, after thinking about it for a moment, Yan Guilai understood.
Shangguan Qianqiu's experience was more than a hundred years ago. As the saying goes, things change with time. It can't be generalized.
In the past, Alchemist was just one of the most common professions, and there weren't many people who participated in the assessment.
Furthermore, Aoki University and Qingmu City had been engaged in similar work for tens of thousands of years. Thus … all of the examinations had long since been organized and structured. Furthermore, they were the most scientific.
But now, there were a thousand cities that participated in the exam every year. Every city had a hundred thousand children. The total number of examinees exceeded a hundred million!
It wasn't a big deal to have a large number of examinees. However, there were very few teachers who could supervise the examinations. It was impossible to assess so many students at the same time. Thus … the sequence of the examinations could only be disrupted.
If they were to test each examinee's innate talent, potential, as well as their ability to differentiate medicinal properties and differentiate medicinal properties, they would need millions of Alchemists to personally participate in the assessment and assessment.
But the problem now was, where would the human race find so many Alchemists? Even if they could, didn't they need to refine pills? Would they be able to spend a month here to assess the students?
Thus, many of the examination topics were canceled. Even if they weren't canceled, they could only be pushed back due to the lack of manpower. After eliminating most of the examinees, only a few elite members would be assessed in more detail.
All the examination topics that required professional Alchemists to participate in were canceled as much as possible. If they couldn't be canceled, they would be pushed back and restarted when there were fewer examinees.
Finally, all of the hundred thousand examinees entered the wide road on the east side of the square and waited for the examination to begin.
As the last examinee entered the main road, a loud explosion sounded and all of the examinees began to run.
Even though the examinees were only ten-year-old children, one had to know that they weren't weak despite their young age. Every single one of them possessed the strength of a Spirit Gathering realm cultivator.
The main reason why Yafu and Yanni couldn't participate in the examination was because they were only at the Body Tempering realm. They didn't meet the minimum requirement at all.
With the strength of a Spirit Gathering realm cultivator, all of the examinees had spiritual energy in their bodies. Under the nourishment and propulsion of the spiritual energy, all of them were able to run very quickly.
This was especially so for the thousand or so people who were running at the very front. Not only did they have long meridians, but they also cultivated the Light Body Technique. They walked leisurely as if they were taking a stroll, but their speed was surprisingly fast.
Yan Guilai's position was in the middle. Thus … when the thousand or so people at the very front had already run several hundred meters, he began to run. However, it didn't matter. After all, the distance to run around the city was very far. It would take a total of six hours to complete the circle.
Mixed in with the flow of people, Yan Guilai unhurriedly strode forward.
Yan Guilai couldn't bear to use the scarce energy in his body. With his current strength of a Giant Soul realm cultivator, this bit of spiritual energy wasn't enough to squander. If he really used it, it wouldn't even take fifteen minutes before he ran out of spiritual energy.
Fortunately, Yan Guilai was only competing with the hundred thousand children of Greatwood City. Even though there were no lack of geniuses among them, the vast majority of them were only of an ordinary standard.
Thus, it wasn't too difficult to enter the top hundred.
To Yan Guilai, the real difficulty was the Great Chu Dynasty's nationwide competition.
There were also a hundred thousand examinees in the nationwide competition. However, these hundred thousand examinees were the top hundred of each city. If one didn't have some strength, it would be very difficult to be ranked at the top.
Thus, Yan Guilai wasn't in a hurry to catch up. Instead, he constantly adjusted his footwork and mobilized the five elemental energy in his five organs to push his body forward.
First, he mobilized the fire elemental energy in his heart. Following the meridians in his legs, it spread all the way down …
Bang! Bang! Bang …
At the next moment, every time Yan Gui Lai stomped, there would be a loud explosion under his feet. Although there were no flames, a huge force instantly erupted under his feet, bouncing Yan Gui Lai up high.
With every step, Yan Guilai would cross a distance of ten meters. Step by step, he ran forward. Amidst the banging sounds, his speed was extremely fast.
No, no …
He decisively shook his head. Even though running like this was indeed faster, the noise was too loud and too noisy.
Most importantly, the explosive force from his feet had caused his legs to become numb. If he continued running like this, it wouldn't be long before he was shaken to pieces.
