The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

On the platform, Hua Linlin, wearing the name tag of the martial arts examination supervisor, stood next to Wu You and Ye Yi.

She stood very straight, her hands hanging naturally at her sides, her short hair gently blowing in the morning breeze, exuding a sense of competence.

At this time, all the examiners had arrived and were standing in a line in the middle of the main venue.

The students were mostly already in their classrooms, waiting for the exam to begin.

A torchbearer wearing a silver badge, acting as the host, stood in front of the examiners, announcing the rules of this martial arts examination.

"This assessment will not use scores, but will be divided into five levels: A, B, C, D, and E. Reaching level C is considered passing."

. . .

"A candidate can be considered to have passed the assessment if three or more examiners give him a grade of C or above."

. . .

"If more than three examiners give an A grade, the candidate's information must be reported."

. . .

"You should have received the specific assessment requirements and details yesterday. I won't go into further detail."

"As everyone knows, the rewards this time are very generous."

"Now that you've been selected as examiners, I hope everyone will do their best and fulfill their responsibilities."

"alright."

At this point, the silver torchbearer in charge of hosting the event turned on the microphone in his hand, checked the volume, and then put it to his lips.

"Now, I hereby declare the inaugural Lanhe Martial Arts College Entrance Examination officially open!"

"All examiners, please proceed to your assigned locations immediately!"

"Candidates began entering the examination hall in an orderly manner according to their admission ticket numbers and the announcements!"

. . .

In a classroom on the third floor of the teaching building at Lanhe No. 1 Middle School, Lin Xinmai and Xia Yu, who were next to Wu Jing, couldn't help but feel nervous as they listened to the voice coming from the radio.

Lin Xinmai's breathing became noticeably more rapid, and her hands repeatedly clenched and unclenched on her knees.

Xia Yu was calmer than her, but judging from her expression, she was clearly also uneasy.

The three of them leaned against the window closest to the school's main playground, looking in the direction of the playground.

Unfortunately, the teaching building was not close to the playground, and they could only vaguely see some small black dots moving around the playground.

The examiners, the equipment, and the red barriers all appeared as indistinct blocks of color and lines when viewed from the third floor.

As for the platform, they could only make out that there seemed to be three people on it.

At this point, the broadcast began announcing the corresponding examination admission ticket number.

"Candidate 51107823, please proceed to test center 2-3 for the martial arts assessment."

"Candidate 51108129, please proceed to test center 1-2 for the martial arts assessment."

The voice on the radio read out the numbers one by one, at a leisurely pace.

Each time a number is called out, a candidate stands up and walks to their assigned test center.

Lin Xinmai listened to the broadcast while taking deep breaths.

Seeing this, Wu Jing patted her back and comforted her, "Xiao Mai, don't be nervous. You'll definitely pass."

Lin Xinmai took another deep breath: "If only I had two more weeks."

There was a hint of regret in her voice: "I was sure I could have reached the level of 'martial arts' back then."

Then, she turned to look at Wu Jing, her gaze lingering on Wu Jing's face for a moment: "But Jing, your complexion looks much better today than before."

Upon hearing this, Wu Jing was stunned for a moment, then reached out and touched her face.

Her fingers gently brushed across her cheek, the skin her fingertips touched smooth and supple.

At this moment, Xia Yu nodded and said, "Indeed, you look much better today than before."

"You've been quite gloomy for a while now."

"His complexion doesn't look very healthy either."

Wu Jing picked up a small mirror from the table next to her.

She didn't notice these changes when she was washing up at home; she just felt that her hands were stronger.

Looking in the mirror, Wu Jing saw a face that looked healthy and rosy, radiating from beneath the skin.

Even that gloomy atmosphere has faded considerably.

She immediately realized that this was the effect of the strange plants called Little Blood-Nourishing Chrysanthemum and Steady Bone Flower.

Wu Jing thought for a moment, then asked the two of them, "Do you know of a special kind of powerful medicine that is not only very effective, but also doesn't require training to absorb, and can even show results overnight?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu and Lin Xinmai exchanged a glance, then simultaneously turned to Wu Jing, their faces showing concern.

Lin Xinmai spoke first: "Xiao Jing, as far as I know, the better the effect and the stronger the medicinal power, the more martial arts training is required to complement it, and the longer it takes to absorb the medicinal power."

She paused, seemingly considering her next words: "It works overnight, and no exercise is needed..."

Then, Lin Xinmai shook her head: "Xiaojing, don't be fooled by those people who say 'GG' (a euphemism for having sex). The things online are all exaggerated and unbelievable."

Xia Yu chimed in, "Wu Jing, this concerns martial arts cultivation; you can't be greedy for small gains in this area."

"Being scammed out of money is a small matter, but if it damages your health, then that's really the end of the world."

"I've also heard of people who took drugs of dubious origin and ended up with health problems, spending three whole months in bed before recovering."

"You absolutely must not touch those things."

Hearing what the two said, Wu Jing felt even more strongly that the strange plants in the wooden box were not simple.

The "common sense" they mentioned included: strong medicines require training and coordination, absorption takes time, and the stronger the medicine, the longer it takes to take effect, etc.

All of that was rendered useless in the face of last night's experience.

Xia Yu continued, "If you need it, I can send you a few servings of that Qi-nourishing and blood-tonifying soup I mentioned last time. It's very effective."

"They were all purchased through legitimate channels, and I drink them myself, so they are safe and reliable."

Wu Jing shook her head: "Thank you, but it's okay."

She didn't think the so-called Qi-nourishing and blood-tonifying soup would be better than the small blood-nourishing chrysanthemum soup, and she didn't like owing people anything, whether it was money or favors.

Just as Xia Yu and Lin Xinmai were about to say something, the next round of announcements came over the loudspeaker.

"Candidate 51109122, please proceed to test center 3-1 for the martial arts assessment."

Lin Xinmai exclaimed in surprise, "9122, it's my turn!"

The broadcast continued without stopping, announcing the next number.

"Candidate 51109124, please proceed to test center 3-2 for the martial arts assessment."

Upon hearing the announcement, Xia Yu immediately stood up: "9124 is me!"

The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked at Wu Jing beside them and said in unison, "Let's go, Xiao Jing too!"

Wu Jing was taken aback: "Me? Can I go over there?"

She didn't register, didn't have an admission ticket, and wasn't a test taker.

Lin Xinmai explained, "As long as you don't enter the designated area of ​​the examination site, it's fine."

"You can wait for us next to the test center."

"This is a good opportunity to see up close what this year's martial arts examination is all about."

"It can also be used to prepare for next year's exams."

Then she reached out and grabbed Wu Jing's wrist.

Wu Jing nodded and didn't say anything more, letting Lin Xinmai hold her wrist as the three of them walked out of the classroom together.

After going down the stairs and leaving the teaching building, they walked towards the playground.

Upon entering the playground, the orange running track, green lawn, white markings, and red isolation strips create a lively and vibrant scene under the sunlight.

The examiners were already in place at their respective test centers; some were checking equipment, some were looking at lists, and some were whispering to each other.

Lin Xinmai and Xia Yu immediately began searching for their test points.

Their eyes darted quickly between the red barriers, searching for the black numbers written on the white signs.

"2-8,2-9..."

"3-1 and 3-2 are over there!"

Lin Xinmai's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed in one direction.

In that direction, near the podium, at the end of a row of red barriers, two test centers stood side by side, their white signs reading "3-1" and "3-2" respectively.

"Walk!"

Lin Xinmai pulled Wu Jing along, with Xia Yu following beside them, and the three of them quickened their pace.

They crossed the track, crossed the lawn, and passed the candidates being tested and the examiners scoring them.

Just as she approached the 3-1 and 3-2 test sites, Wu Jing, who was walking briskly, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Xiaojing?"

Lin Xinmai and Xia Yu turned their heads at the same time, their voices filled with doubt.

Wu Jing stood there blankly, staring in a certain direction.

The two of them followed her gaze.

That's the rostrum.

On the podium, there were two figures that Wu Jing recognized very well.

As for how familiar it is?

She just saw the kind of person yesterday!
