It was supposed to be a Mythic card set, but what the heck is this Warhammer 40k?

As all the students rushed to form teams, the entire carriage became chaotic.

However, seeing this scene, Yuan Lei had no intention of stopping it, but instead turned around and left the carriage.

After exiting the carriage, Yuan Lei arrived at a door in the next carriage.

He pushed open the door and was greeted by a small conference room.

In the conference room, the homeroom teachers of the four classes were already seated, waiting for Yuan Lei's arrival.

Upon seeing Yuan Lei, the homeroom teacher of Class Two spoke first, asking, "Examiner Yuan, how are things going with the students?"

Yuan Lei smiled slightly and replied, "Everything is as expected. The competition among students is fierce right now, which is the result we wanted to see."

Upon hearing Yuan Lei's answer, the homeroom teacher of Class 3 frowned: "While competition is a good thing, is doing this really good for the students?"

After hearing what the class teacher of Class 3 said, Yuan Lei sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. As all the class teachers know, the National College Card Master League will start in a few months."

"In previous years, Lingjiang University has always been at the bottom of the rankings in these college leagues. If this continues, we may not even be qualified to participate in a few years."

"The dean's meaning is very clear now: no matter what, Lingjiang University must retain this qualification to participate in the competition. Therefore, we must not let the situation of finishing last in this year's league happen again."

"Therefore, we must select a student who can shoulder this responsibility!"

"This final exam can serve as a test to see if we can identify students with potential."

"As for the intense competition, that's a minor issue. The greater the competition, the more it brings out the students' potential, which helps us select the best among them."

Yuan Lei became more and more excited as he spoke, and even his tone became extremely resolute.

He then glanced at the several homeroom teachers present: "Of course, if any of you homeroom teachers have any opinions on the arrangements for this final exam, please feel free to speak up, and I will relay your opinions to the dean."

After hearing Yuan Lei's words, the other homeroom teachers present also lowered their heads and remained silent.

After a long silence, the homeroom teacher of Class 3 spoke first: "Since Examiner Yuan has said so, then I have no objections."

"I agree."

I agree.

"I have no objection."

Seeing that the homeroom teachers had all expressed their opinions, Yuan Lei breathed a sigh of relief. He then smiled and said, "Since none of the homeroom teachers have any objections, I would appreciate your full cooperation in this final exam."

"After all, we're all working for the school!"

.........

Meanwhile, inside the train carriage.

As small teams formed, the previously chaotic carriage gradually quieted down.

But this did not restore the relaxed and lively atmosphere in the carriage. On the contrary, the air was filled with a heavy and oppressive atmosphere that made it hard to breathe.

Everyone knows very well that only sixty people will pass the final exam this time, and the rest will be eliminated and have to retake the exam.

This means that for every additional person from another team who passes the assessment, that team loses one spot.

This blatant competition created an invisible pressure on everyone.

This pressure naturally led them to choose to be hostile towards every member of other teams.

Lu Ya's gaze swept across the carriage without leaving a trace.

Among these small teams, the team led by Hu Fei and Ding Heng has the largest number of members.

Each of the two was surrounded by more than a dozen people.

As for the other teams, they are relatively small, with each small team consisting of only three to five people.

Compared to Hu Fei and Ding Heng's teams, these smaller teams seem more like a group sticking together for mutual support.

Just as Lu Ya was silently observing the situation between the various small teams, a voice suddenly came from behind him, interrupting his thoughts.

Lu Ya turned his head and saw that standing behind him was his classmate Liu Yitong.

In Lu Ya's memory, Liu Yitong was a pretty good person. When he first entered university, Liu Yitong even helped him with some small favors.

This left a good impression on Lu Ya.

Upon seeing Liu Yitong, Lu Ya smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something you need?"

Liu Yi scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Well, Lu Ya, it seems you're still single."

"As you know, this final exam isn't easy. It'll be difficult for one person to outperform the other teams. Luckily, our team is short-staffed. Would you like to join us?"

Upon hearing Liu Yitong's words, Lu Ya's face showed a look of sudden realization.

It turns out the team didn't have enough members, so they came to invite him to join.

Lu Ya could only say apologetically, "I'm sorry, I've already made an appointment with Yang Feng."

Upon hearing Lu Ya's words, Liu Yitong looked somewhat helpless. He smiled and said, "I see. Well then, I won't bother you any longer. I wish you success in your assessment."

After saying that, Liu Yitong turned around and went back to his small team of three.

Upon seeing Liu Yitong return, the other two quickly asked him, "How did it go? Did he agree?"

Liu Yi shook his head and said, "They've already formed a team."

This answer immediately caused the other two to show signs of disappointment.

One of them said, "Damn, I really don't know what the school was thinking, making such a difficult final exam. Isn't this just pushing those of us with poor abilities to our limits?"

Liu Yitong sighed, "Alright, there's no point in complaining now."

"No matter what, someone among us has to pass this final exam. We can't all fail; it would be embarrassing if word got out."

Upon hearing Liu Yitong's words, the other two nodded in agreement.

........

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Train sped along.

The journey, which was originally more than a thousand kilometers, was completed in just a few hours.

After Lu Ya got off the train, he looked up and saw that the train had stopped in front of a magnificent steel bridge.

However, the steel bridge was eerily quiet; there wasn't a single vehicle passing by.

A thick fog enveloped the entire steel bridge, like a giant "curtain" hanging from the sky.

Amidst the dense fog, several figures could be seen moving back and forth on the bridge from time to time.

But these figures were never able to get through the thick fog and reach the real world where Lu Ya and the others were.

It was as if this thick fog was an insurmountable barrier for those figures!

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the entrance and exit of the Evil Spirit Realm.
