By associating with Nezha, I became the darling of the Chinese gods.

Chapter 67 The Mysterious Realm of Incense and Candles, Wen Miao is One
Invigilation room.

Everything is in order.

Ten invigilation light screens were projected into the air, recording every brick and tile in the examination room in real time.

At this moment, the examiners were making final adjustments.

"The distribution of divine power within the examination room has been fully tested, and there are no problems."

"The StarNet system has also undergone repeated calibrations to ensure everything is correct!"

"As instructed by the examiners, 1 high-level chosen ones were urgently transferred from the Chaotic Starfield last night to assist us. They are currently in the observation area nearby, ready to be deployed at any time!"

"In case the data crashes again, we can quickly activate the backup plan and restore the examination room within 10 seconds."

Cheng Xi squinted his eyes and nodded repeatedly in satisfaction.

very good!

They are so well prepared for this individual battle, and they have even called in more than 10,000 high-level divine favored individuals. They are absolutely certain that there will be no mishap!
Even Wen Miao couldn't possibly turn the exam hall upside down again!
The five school principals, acting as the league's chief examiners, exchanged glances and simultaneously granted their access:
"Activate the examination room immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the data streams around the invigilation room rapidly surged, transforming into beams of light that stabilized the divine power in all directions!
[Exam venue in operation...]

[Activation complete. This test will take place in the Nightless City, and the mode is a designated hunt.]

Upon seeing the four large characters "Never-Sleeping Ghost City", Cheng Xi was clearly stunned, and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

what the hell!

How could this be such a coincidence?!
I actually got this dungeon again!

Cheng Xi rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and sighed inwardly at how unlucky this year's league candidates were!

In the last team fight, we encountered a monster chaser, which was bad enough.

This time, I was matched with the Nightless City by the StarNet system again!
Each one of them is pushing the test takers toward failing!

Noticing Cheng Xi's unpleasant expression, Zhao Youchang, the principal of the Federal Theological Seminary, hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with this dungeon run?"

"It's not exactly a problem, it's just that the situation is a bit complicated." Cheng Xi sighed wearily and explained:

"This is a new instance recently simulated by the Imperial Star Network System. We drew this instance during the Imperial Theological Seminary's final exams, and then..."

"All candidates, fail the course!"

The news that everyone had failed their exams shocked Zhao Youchang and the others, causing them to gasp in shock.

hiss!
How can this be? !
In an empire where divine power resources are highly concentrated, the candidates here are all skilled in divine arts, and their aptitude is several times better than that of the candidates in the Federation.

This exam room must be quite something to make them all fail!

"The question is, what makes this exam so difficult?" Jiang Lin frowned, puzzled.
"Could he be even stronger than the pursuers from the last match?"

"Sigh, don't even mention it!" Cheng Xi waved his hand dejectedly and said:

"To be honest, I'm also puzzled. Our students clearly completed the target task according to the specified requirements, but in the end, the system judged them all as failures!"

So evil?

Jiang Lin stroked his chin thoughtfully and speculated, "Could it be that there's a hidden mission that hasn't been completed?"

"I don't know either." Cheng Xi shrugged helplessly. "So far, no one has cleared this dungeon."

After a pause, Cheng Xi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with interest, "However, I do think Wen Miao has a chance."

The high-ranking principal of the Imperial Theological Seminary made no attempt to conceal his admiration for Wenmiao.

If he wasn't mistaken, the previous chase was started because of her.

This match was no exception.

He is not stupid.

Recalling yesterday's extraordinary celestial phenomena and the image of the twelve divine bells kneeling in submission, Cheng Xi understood—

These two league matches are not challenging because of Zhou Qiyu, nor because of Jiang Yu.

The key is to hear the subtleties!

-

the other side.

The 1 chosen ones temporarily transferred from the Imperial Theological Seminary are sitting in the spectator area closest to the examination room.

Some of them crossed their arms, some lay sprawled out, chatting casually with their legs crossed, creating a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere.

Suddenly, someone pointed at the proctoring screen opposite and whistled flippantly:

"Hey, we've been matched with the City of Eternal Night in this league? This is going to be interesting!"

"I get angry just seeing this dungeon. The first time I failed a test was in this very exam room!"

"Heh, they're finished! Even we couldn't handle this dungeon, do you think these kids can last 10 minutes?"

"I'd be lucky to watch for 5 minutes!"

At that moment, the examiner's voice came from outside the door: "Don't let your guard down. You just came back from the Chaotic Starfield and don't know how monstrous Wen Miao's strength is!"

"Everyone be prepared to repair the examination room at any time!"

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking chosen ones curled their lip in disdain:
"Tch, unnecessary. Why would an exam require the combined power of so many of us?!"

"Exactly, do you think these ungraduated chicks can turn the exam hall upside down?"

"I wouldn't have come if it weren't for the military contribution points! How boring!"

"I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when the guys are done!"

Examiner: "..." I'm impressed!

Go to sleep, go to sleep, you'll be surprised later!

-

In the examination room.

When Wen Miao opened her eyes again, a giant city with flickering candlelight appeared before her.

Even though it was daytime, the light from the colorful incense and candles shone from the sky all the way to the corner of the city.

The smell of incense wafted from all directions, so strong and cloying that it made one want to vomit.

Wen Miao couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose, cautiously looking around.

[Hello, test taker. Welcome to the Eternal City That Never Sleeps.]

[This individual battle mode is a designated target hunt. Candidate Wen Miao, please draw your target now.]

As soon as she finished speaking, a huge incense burner for offering sacrifices to the gods appeared before Wen Miao's eyes.

Three incense sticks were stuck in the incense burner, and ten black square iron blocks, resembling tombstones, were buried under the incense ash.

From the outside, the 10 iron blocks look exactly the same, with no discernible difference.

Will the opponent be determined by drawing lots?

Wen Miao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

This format is quite interesting!
Wen Miao reached into the furnace to retrieve a piece of iron. Since she couldn't tell the difference, she simply closed her eyes and randomly picked one.

[The draw is complete. Please check the results.]

For some reason, Wen Miao suddenly felt a little nervous and immediately flipped over the iron block to take a look.

I thought I would see the names of other candidates.

To everyone's surprise, a bright red 'one' came into Wenmiao's view.

one?

What does it mean?
Wen Miao was completely bewildered. She carefully examined the iron block in her hand, trying to find any other useful information.

But no matter how you look at it, there's only one number on the iron block.

Nothing else.

[Targets have been selected. Once the exam begins, please find the Inspector in the city. He will tell you what to do next.]

[Note: This individual competition does not use a points system; ranking is based on time. The faster you complete the objective, the higher your ranking.]

[Beep, the selection competition has begun. All candidates, please be prepared to awaken your divine power.]

The next instant, Wen Miao skillfully clicked the 'Artifact' summoning button on the system panel.

"Shh-!"

The three-pointed double-edged sword was instantly grasped by Wen Miao, exuding a majestic aura! A gentle breeze swept through!
Holding the iconic magic weapon of the God of Justice, Wen Miao immediately felt a strong sense of security.

Hahaha!
Even if she had to take on nine opponents at once, she wouldn't be afraid!

Time is of the essence for this exam!

Without delay, Wen Miao quickly checked the examination room map, then, carrying her three-pointed double-edged sword, decisively headed to the location of the inspector!

Perhaps it's because we have the same destination.

On the way, Wen Miao encountered Jiang Yu and others.

Upon meeting, they began exchanging information.

Wen Miao asked, "What did you draw?"

“A number.” Jiang Yu took out his iron block, on which was written 'nine'.

But Xue and Shang Tianqi are six and eight respectively.

Zhou Qiyu is ten.

Wen Miao frowned in confusion. What did these numbers mean?

Zhou Qiyu glanced enviously at Wen Miao's iron block and asked:
"How about we switch?"

The number 'one' sounds more powerful than his number 'ten'.

Wen Miao's lips twitched. "Is there any possibility that the system won't allow it?"

Zhou Qiyu pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

If you disagree, that's fine; he was just asking casually anyway.

Filled with doubt, Wenmiao and the others arrived at a simple earth god temple.

At this moment, the inspector sat in the temple, dressed in a neat red official robe, sighing with a worried expression.

However, the next moment——

When he saw the iron block in Wen Miao's hand, the inspector suddenly looked up.

His gaze shifted upwards, and a pair of bright green eyes stared intently at Wen Miao, as if observing something.

Combined with the surrounding candlelight and incense, it was inexplicably eerie.

Wen Miao got goosebumps from being stared at.

Is there a problem with 'one'?
