Hunting God Era

Chapter 151 Joint Examination of Eight Provinces

"Is this a win?"

Unlike the cheers of the martial arts students, Deng Hao stroked his chin with a strange expression: "This is the top school in the province? It doesn't feel real."

Jia Dong said, "Nonsense, it's not like you're the one fighting. Ye Ge and Fu Chuxue are both strong. If you replace them with Yang Jie, Xiang Feipeng, and Yao Ledan, then we..."

"Then none of us can participate in the provincial martial arts competition."

Yao Ledan rolled her eyes, echoing Jia Dong's words, "What do you mean by 'real' or 'unreal'? As long as we win, that's all that matters. Anyway, we're all graduating soon, let the next graduating class worry about it. I bet even Principal Qian himself can't imagine that the school could win first place in the provincial martial arts competition."

Principal Qian was indeed very happy. Winning first place in the provincial martial arts competition would bring unprecedented attention, significantly more funding than before, and attract more high-quality students.

Whether we can win the provincial martial arts competition next time is irrelevant!

We might get criticized for just being lucky, but that's a happy problem. Many schools haven't even participated in the provincial martial arts competition yet, so having something is better than nothing.

This year's provincial martial arts competition was indeed a major upset. A small-town high school with no reputation and no history of participating in provincial martial arts competitions won the championship, but it is reasonable to say that they won.

They're not really outsiders. Fu Chuxue stayed there for three years, and Li Ye is the most loyal of them all; they even attended the academy there.

If it's stronger than expected, then we can only accept it.

"We'll compete again when the big test comes!"

When Wang Qiu slowly woke up and fully recovered from her daze, she was about to throw those words at Li Ye when she realized he was nowhere to be found. As she stood there in a daze, a voice sounded beside her.

Su Ao looked at Wang Qiu with a fighting spirit, "When the time comes, I'll show you what true number one really is!"

Are you sick?
Wang Qiu twitched the corner of his mouth, but didn't lash out.

In his view, he and Su Ao were from different worlds. As for Xia Mengxuan, since they were not related and had not been in a relationship, she was free. On the contrary, he quite disliked Su Ao's previous sycophantic behavior.

After transferring schools, he seemed much more normal, but now, it seems like he's gone crazy again.

As for Li Ye, he left long ago.

He wasn't interested in any of the subsequent award ceremonies. Whether he came in first or not, he hadn't cared about it since he perfected the "Twelve Golden Palaces Dragon and Tiger Gates." Besides, he had already mastered the "Six Extremes World-Suppressing Dragon and Tiger Demon."

Instead of wasting time, you might as well go to the Demon Realm more often and accumulate more corruption.

"You're still going to the Demon Realm?"

Upon arriving at the Yangcheng Disinfection Bureau, Pan Zhengyang was taken aback when he heard Li Ye's plan. He looked him up and down and asked curiously:

"You've cleared out quite a bit, haven't you? I know you're famous now, but you don't run a company. What are you doing in the Demon Realm all the time? If you want a fiefdom, you'll have to try your luck in the newly created Demon Realm."

The functions of the Disinfection Bureau are not in the Demon Realm, but in the human world.

Moreover, in a normal Demon Realm, the only difference is the length of time. It is difficult for unexpected situations to occur in a controlled Demon Realm. In addition, it has been explored and there are no traces of being sealed off. At most, one might get lucky and create some magic treasures.

But if Li Ye needs something, he can just ask for it.

The disinfection bureau does have these channels.

Li Ye laughed and said, "Killing demons and eliminating evil makes me feel happy."

"I never knew you had this quirk."

Pan Zhengyang lit a cigarette and said, "However, you talented contestants will have a two-month break before taking the unified exam to experience the Demon Realm, so you won't be caught off guard later."

There are two ways to take the major exam. One is the normal way: once you reach a certain level, you apply to your desired school, and everyone takes the exam together at the same time. If you pass, you get in. The other way is to go directly into the Demon Realm and compete for rankings, usually vying for a spot in one of the top four schools.

Even if these schools have contacted the geniuses in advance and confirmed their intentions, the exams still have to be taken.

Martial arts students are not like liberal arts students; there are no situations where they cannot perform well, so there is no such thing as being recommended for admission.

Those with real ability will get the ranking they want.

Generally, some people will enter the game "Magic Domain" in advance to get used to it before the unified exam.

"This year is quite lively, with a joint exam in eight provinces."

Pan Zhengyang said, "The last time there was a test of this scale was six years ago. You'll probably be entering a medium or large-scale demon realm. You'll have plenty to kill."

"Eight provinces?" Li Ye was taken aback.

"Yes, eight provinces. Don't act like you're invincible all the time. There are always geniuses among the two billion people in China. This year, there are two hundred thousand martial arts students taking the joint exam of eight provinces. There must be quite a few martial artists aspiring to be among the top four."

He exhaled a puff of smoke. "Don't underestimate your opponent. We're counting on you to bring honor to Jianghuai and get a good ranking, so it'll be easier for you to negotiate a better offer with the university."

That's what he said, but he wasn't worried at all.

The academy's achievement of passing six levels is extremely rare, even by global standards.

Li Ye is definitely going to get this ranking.

“They contacted me, but I didn’t care. I went to the capital simply to see the school you and Master used to attend,” Li Ye said, shaking his head.

The three-year-old child, eyeing the mud and peeing, had a great time playing with it.

If you give a 30-year-old man urine and mud, he'll beat you up.

The university can only provide the first and second realms, but Li Ye has already reached the third realm and is at the time when he needs the seed of the Dharma. The university can only provide the higher realms, and he himself is a part of the higher realms. He really can't think of anywhere else he can use them.

"You're underestimating a genius hero."

Pan Zhengyang leaned back and chuckled, "The four top-tier companies aren't as simple as you think. Since they've approached you, didn't they say they all have lineages?"

Li Ye nodded.

Pan Zhengyang continued, "Families and sects, family first and sect second, it's impossible for a person to be without a lineage. The four first-class sects all had lineages from a very early time. Martial Arts Competition is in Shu Mountain, Holy Martial Arts enters Kunlun, Divine Martial Arts enters the East Sea, and Heavenly Martial Arts is in the Forbidden City. In ancient times, these were the most prestigious sects."

“Especially our Tianwu, in the past only royal children could enter, but now, the emperors take turns sitting on the throne.”

Pan Zhengyang laughed and said, "It's less like going to university and more like entering a sect to cultivate connections. Even if you don't need their cultivation methods, once you break through the three realms, you'll at least have access to high-quality cultivation resources. If you really feel it's not a good fit and insist on entering the Primordial Realm on your own, they have different channels than us."

Upon hearing this, Li Ye laughed and said, "So, from what you're saying, these universities are really that impressive?"

"Awesome my ass."

Pan Zhengyang rolled his eyes. "It's long since declined. Without orders from the central government, it wouldn't have reached this scale. But no matter what, it's still ours. Having something is better than having nothing."

"There's something even more powerful?" Li Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That's not something you should know; in fact, I don't know either."

Pan Zhengyang waved his hand, "When you reach the fourth realm, you can ask Wang Ting; he knows."
