With the revival of spiritual energy, I cultivated the Great Emperor's Technique on Blue Star.

The three days passed in the blink of an eye. On the day of the Jiangcheng Martial Arts University's independent enrollment exam, the entire Jiangcheng, and even the Great Xia, was enveloped in a strong martial arts atmosphere, even more solemn than the national college entrance examination.

After all, this is the first Wuhan University and the first university to conduct independent enrollment.

The martial arts departments of each province had already imposed martial law throughout the city ahead of schedule. Martial arts soldiers in full armor patrolled near each examination site, while cruise fighters equipped with high-precision spiritual energy detection devices flew in the air. The city's protective arrays, layer upon layer, had already been activated without regard for the consequences.

During the exam, any unusual spiritual energy or extraterrestrial fluctuations will be detected immediately to ensure the safety of the candidates and the smooth conduct of the exam.

Each examination venue was divided into dozens of independent assessment zones, separated from each other by soundproof arrays to prevent interference, but all were connected to a unified national live broadcast signal. Hundreds of millions of people in the Great Xia were all watching in front of their screens, waiting for the start of this unprecedented martial arts selection.

Starting at seven o'clock in the morning, candidates from all over the Great Xia Dynasty began to enter the examination hall. Some had only recently begun practicing the Body Strengthening Technique and were beginning to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Others were dressed in fine clothes and had young bodyguards following behind them. They were not only taking the exam themselves, but also accompanied by "lackeys" arranged by their families. Still others were disciples sent by sects and lineages. Each of them had a calm expression, and their cultivation techniques and auras were completely concealed. They dared not be arrogant or overstep their bounds in the slightest.

The viewing platform was located in the very center, where the heads of the martial arts departments of each province, the elders of long-established sects, and the high-ranking members of aristocratic families were seated. Each of them had a solemn expression, and their cultivation level was at least at the peak of the third rank. From their high vantage point, they could take in the situation of all the assessment areas.

If someone cheats, they will be discovered immediately.

Seated in the very center of the examination hall at Wuhan University in Jiangcheng was still Li Cang, the honorary president, and Lin Yan, the only freshman at present, although the latter already had the ability to graduate early and even serve as a mentor.

Lin Yan did not exude any pressure, but whenever his gaze swept over the examinees below, they would subconsciously lower their movements. The battle on the martial arts arena had finally spread far and wide, and the image of one person suppressing all opponents was deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts. No matter who it was, including the group on the high platform, everyone felt awe.

This is the benefit of strength; no matter how young you are, you are still at the "senior" level!

The time quickly came to eight o'clock. At that moment, a powerful and resonant broadcast voice resounded throughout the examination hall, clearly reaching the ears of everyone.

"The first round of the Jiangcheng Martial Arts University's first independent enrollment assessment—the aptitude test—has officially begun!"

"All candidates are requested to maintain order in the examination room and follow the instructions. Each candidate has three attempts, and the best result will be the final score..."

Rumble!

In an instant, hundreds of giant silver-white testing instruments, neatly arranged in various examination areas, started operating simultaneously. The surface of the instruments was covered with light blue spiritual energy patterns. This testing equipment was independently created by the Great Xia Martial Arts Department in combination with special minerals produced in the secret realm, based on the contents recorded in ancient books. It can accurately separate four core indicators: physical foundation, strength of tendons and bones, concentration of qi and blood, and affinity with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Each of the four sections is worth 25 points, for a total score of 100. A passing score is 60. Anyone who fails three times will be eliminated on the spot, with no retakes or leniency.

The assessment process proceeded step by step. The first batch consisted of ordinary teenagers who had never formally embarked on the path of cultivation. At most, they had some basic physical fitness, and very few of them had formally broken through to the first level.

Soon, the first high school student, only sixteen years old, walked excitedly to the instrument's light screen. Following the instructions, he gently placed his palm on the cool mirror surface and at the same time did his best to circulate the Body Strengthening Technique to mobilize his blood and energy to the maximum extent.

The next second, a hazy white light enveloped him, and instantly, lines of data began to flash rapidly on the screen—

Physical Foundation: 11 points

[Muscle and bone strength: 13 points]

[Qi and Blood Concentration: 10 points]

[Spiritual affinity: 12 points]

[Overall score: 46 points, below the passing grade. Candidates may choose whether to take the next test.]

As the cold, mechanical judgment voice fell, the boy's body trembled violently. The excitement that had just ignited in his eyes dimmed noticeably, and his lips trembled slightly. He gritted his teeth and gave up on taking the test again, silently retreating to the elimination area.

This was already his best performance; if he continued to take tests, his score would only get lower and lower.

All around, no one mocked, only silent sighs remained. This was the bloody reality, the cruelty of martial arts. Ordinary people, without the nourishment of rare and precious materials or the teachings of a master's lineage, would find it difficult to even reach the passing grade with just the newly promulgated Body Strengthening Technique.

"Don't be discouraged. This is only the first entrance exam. There will be one every year after that. Moreover, the Great Xia will open more and more martial arts academies in the future. Judging from your current grades, if you train for another year or two, you will definitely have a spot at the Martial Arts University."

In the elimination area, teachers from Wuhan University were waiting there early on. One reason was to arrange for the eliminated candidates to leave in an orderly manner, and the other was to provide them with guidance and comfort. The first independent enrollment was destined to select the best of the best.

For a long time afterward, batches of ordinary test takers took turns to take the test. In Jiangcheng alone, there were hundreds of thousands, even millions, of test takers, but less than 10% of them were able to cross the threshold of 60 points.

Some people missed the cutoff by just one or two points, filled with regret and resentment, squatting in the elimination area with tears in their eyes. Others barely made it to the cutoff with 61 or 62 points, trembling with excitement, constantly thanking God.

It took two whole days to finish testing all the ordinary candidates. On the third day, it was the turn of the sect prodigies and aristocratic scions who had already stepped into the martial arts field. Suddenly, the data on the test screen was vastly different from the previous two days.

The first to step forward was one of the countless prodigies who challenged Lin Yan that day, a young man from the ancient martial arts Zhou family. The moment his palm touched the light screen, the instrument suddenly flashed a dazzling white light.

Physical Foundation: 24 points

[Muscle and bone strength: 23 points]

[Qi and Blood Concentration: 24 points]

[Spiritual affinity: 23 points]

Overall score: 94 points, excellent rating

The moment the high scores appeared, everyone gasped, seeing the stark difference between these privileged children and ordinary people. They were naturally standing at the finish line that ordinary families could only dream of.

Following closely behind, disciples from various sects achieved high scores one after another. Even those who scored above 90 points, like the prodigy of the Zhou family, were numerous. In fact, a very few disciples achieved scores of 98 or 99, which were close to perfect scores, bringing satisfaction to the elders of each sect.
