On the day of the monthly exam, the training ground was bustling with noise.

Two thousand new students, from Class S to Class D, were divided into five areas according to their class number and lined up neatly.

The blood and qi detectors were lined up in the center of the square, their silver-gray bodies gleaming coldly.

In the distance, the portal to the Trial Tower opened wide, and a pale golden light curtain slowly swirled, ready to welcome real-world testing at any moment.

Lin Yun stood in the C1 class line, his fingertips casually rubbing his cuffs.

One by one, the people in front of me finished their tests, their numbers fluctuating, accompanied by occasional gasps or sighs of regret.

Soon it was his turn. Lin Yun stepped forward and placed his palm on the cool, metallic sensor surface.

The numbers on the screen fluctuated a few times before finally settling at 79.

Peak of the seventh level of Martial Apprentice.

Several classmates glanced over instinctively and were immediately stunned.

Lin Yun was only at the second level of the Martial Apprentice Realm during the entrance assessment, a fact known to the entire grade.

Even if he had to start over after losing his cultivation, having the experience of reaching the peak of the Martial Apprentice realm, breaking through five minor realms in a month was still too incredible.

Not only Lin Yun, but Qian Hao and the others also made remarkable progress.

Zhao Qiang and the other three had all cultivated to the peak of the sixth level of the Martial Apprentice Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the seventh level.

Qian Hao had the best foundation and actually broke through directly to the seventh level of the Martial Apprentice Realm.

Just a month ago, all five of them were only at the sixth level of Martial Apprentice, which would be considered upper-middle level in the entire C-level, but certainly not outstanding.

Improving by nearly a major level in a month is a speed that is extremely rare among freshmen.

"Brother Yun!"

Qian Hao rushed back excitedly after the test, his face beaming with joy.

"71 points! I only got 62 last month!"

He trained with Lin Yun for a month, and not only did his combat skills improve significantly, but his qi and blood cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds. Even the offerings his family hadn't been as effective.

Lin Yun smiled and said, "It's because you put in the hard work. I only taught you some fighting techniques."

He was only responsible for guiding practical combat and hunting exotic beasts; their cultivation improvement depended entirely on the group's own hard work in the training ground. This wasn't exactly a modest statement.

A group of people walked towards the Trial Tower, chatting and laughing.

Class C1's overall performance was significantly better than last month, especially the five members of Qian Hao's group. After entering the Trial Tower, their movements were clean and efficient, and their speed in killing simulated martial artists was nearly twice as fast as last month.

When the final results came out, even Meng Chuan took a second look.

Qian Hao: Level 8 (Lower Level)

Zhao Qiang: Level 8, Lower Grade.

Sun Feng: Level 7 (Upper).

Zhou Kai and Wu Bin are both at level seven.

A low gasp of surprise rippled through the C1 class.

"Five people leveled up almost a whole level at the same time? That's unbelievable!"

"Weren't they all only around level seven last month? It's only been a month..."

Qian Hao scratched his head and laughed, while Zhao Qiang whispered an explanation to someone nearby.

"Brother Yun gives us extra training until 11 p.m. every night, and we spend all weekend at the training ground. How could we not improve?"

Lin Yun paid no attention to these discussions. He had just come out of the Trial Tower, and the rating on the light screen was clearly reflected in his eyes.

Level 9 (intermediate).

In the past month, he has mastered the Breaking Fist to a minor level and has also thoroughly mastered the first three forms of the Nine Forms of Startling String. With the support of his Qi and blood at the seventh level of Martial Apprentice, his combat rating has risen by one level compared to when he entered school, which is to be expected.

The results for the other classes have also been released one after another.

Class B is significantly better than Class C, with an average grade of Level 8 or above, and the top student reaching Level 9 or below.

Class A is even more terrifying, with most students having a practical combat rating of level nine or above, and the occasional appearance of a level nine student can draw a chorus of amazement.

Su Nianhe stood in the A1 class line. On the screen, her rating was Level 9, which was an improvement from when she entered school. She was also firmly among the top in the A-level sequence.

And Class S...

All eyes were drawn to the team of twenty-five at the very front.

The ratings were all at level nine (upper) and level ten (lower), with the numbers neatly arranged on the screen, silencing the entire training ground for several seconds.

The name at the very top shimmered with silver light.

Chen Xuan, Level 10.

Such talent truly makes him worthy of being called the number one prodigy.

Just then, Gu Xiaoman squeezed through the crowd from Class D, still catching her breath, and pulled Lin Yun aside, whispering, "Brother Yun, Long Ye's results are out!"

Lin Yun looked up at him.

"99 points in Qi and Blood, indeed the peak of a Martial Apprentice."

Gu Xiaoman spoke quickly, her face showing some worry.

"The key is practical testing, at level nine."

He paused, then added.

"He was only at the ninth level when he enrolled because he had just completed the ninth round of bone tempering in the 'Yanluo Bone Forging Scripture,' and his foundation was unstable. Now he has returned to normal and is much stronger than when he enrolled."

Lin Yun's gaze sharpened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Level 9 in progress..."

Just like him.

He nodded without saying anything more.

Seeing his calm expression, Gu Xiaoman's unease subsided somewhat. She simply clenched her fists, waiting to see the next challenge.

Soon, all classes completed their Qi and Blood tests and practical combat tests.

On the platform, Shen Tieshan, the grade director, stepped forward.

He had a buzz cut, a square face, and a faint white old scar running from his brow bone to his temple. He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, exuding an aura of iron and blood.

He spoke slowly, his voice loud and clear.

"Both tests are complete."

According to the new rules, the top three in each sequence can challenge any student in a higher sequence.

The winners are promoted to the corresponding class, while the losers are demoted to the next level and must wait until the next monthly exam to apply for promotion again.

Now, who wants to apply for the challenge?

As soon as he finished speaking, someone from Class D stood up.

"Liu Chao from Class D1 is challenging Wang Dong from Class C14."

From Class C14, a boy immediately went up on stage with an unusually gloomy expression.

It's definitely unpleasant to be disrespected by someone who is inferior to you.

Shen Tieshan nodded slightly: "Come up on stage."

Liu Chao and Wang Dong jumped onto the stage one after the other. After less than five minutes of fighting, Liu Chao won and successfully promoted from D-level to C-level.

A sparse round of applause rang out from the audience, and many D-level students looked on with anticipation.

Immediately afterwards, the second-ranked student in the D-level sequence stepped forward to challenge a student from Class C15. This time, they fought for a full ten minutes, using all their skills, but unfortunately, they were still outmatched in the end and lost, slinking back to the D-level queue in disgrace.

As for the third-ranked person in Class D, after some deliberation, he decided to apply for promotion in writing instead of making a formal application.

Lin Yun stepped out of Class C's line.

When he walked forward, everyone in Class C1 was stunned for a moment.

Qian Hao stared, his mouth agape, and blurted out, "Is Brother Yun going to challenge Class B? With his skills, he should have no problem taking on the top three in Class B."

Everyone around thought so too.

It's only natural for the top three in Rank C to challenge Rank B. With Lin Yun's practical combat rating among the nine ranks, challenging the top-ranked player in Rank B is a sure thing, and no one is surprised.

Ke Linyun walked to the front of the arena and stood still, looking up at the direction of the podium, his voice clear and steady.

"Lin Yun from Class C1 requests to challenge Long Ye from Class A4."
