The quality of the treasure chests I open will always increase by 3.

Lin Yuan waited in line for a long time before it was finally his turn to be tested.

He placed his student ID under the scanning lens and then underwent both facial and fingerprint verification. Only after all verifications were successful did he begin to examine his talent.

Same as before, use the talent stone.

"Talented Shield Mountain, S-rank."

"Level...20!"

Inside the testing room, all the staff members gasped in surprise.

Game Name: Gentle Breeze

"Oh, it was him! He set a new record for beginner level."

"However, there have been many people who reached level 20 in the martial arts exams over the years, and the highest record is even level 22."

"What does that mean?"

"He has already shown signs of decline and is being overtaken."

"This also shows that he doesn't have any powerful backing; otherwise, his lead should have been able to continue."

These people were first shocked, then sighed.

Although Lin Yuan hasn't fallen behind yet, it's obvious that he was able to reach level 20 because of the advantages he had accumulated before, but those advantages have disappeared, and in the future, he will only show signs of decline.

"After all, with only an S-level talent, one might be selected by the top martial arts schools, but it's impossible to get an SSS-level talent advantage."

"For ordinary people, being able to shine for a time is enough! He was the number one in the novice trials. Even if stronger newcomers emerge in the future, they can only tie his record at most."

"That's true, his first place in the novice trial is unbreakable."

Then, someone spoke into the microphone: "Lin, your test is complete. Would you like to participate in the second round of the competition?"

"Yes." Lin Yuan nodded.

"Okay." Someone pushed open the door and handed Lin Yuan a card with a number on it.

612.

Therefore, at least 612 people will participate in the second round of the competition.

No wonder the chances of encountering Yang Xuan are so low.

Lin Yuan walked out. However, the candidates' personal information is kept confidential. As long as he doesn't say it, naturally no one will know who he is or what grade he is.

Then came more waiting.

After all candidates have completed the first round of testing, students who will participate in the second round of competition will be drawn by lot for one-on-one elimination. In this way, as long as they enter the top 16, they will have a very high chance of being selected by the top martial arts teams.

Whether Lin Yuan gets into the Imperial Capital Martial Arts University or the Shanghai Martial Arts University, it's just a matter of a word: as long as he tells the admissions office that he is Qingfeng, the admission notice will be delivered to him immediately, and it will come with SSS-level resources.

However, he participated in the second round of the competition in order to kill Yang Xuan.

Openly and honestly, in front of everyone!

Yang Bing had absolutely no way to deal with him.

To kill someone is to destroy their spirit!

Lin Yuan forcibly suppressed his killing intent and waited patiently.

It's been a month!

For the past month, he has been desperately trying to reach level 20. Besides striving for his future, another important reason is naturally to kill Yang Xuan.

He'd been holding back for so long, and if he came home disappointed today, he definitely wouldn't be able to sleep for days.

……

While Lin Yuan was waiting, his information had already been presented to the admissions staff of both the Imperial Capital Martial Arts University and the Shanghai Martial Arts University.

"It's here!"

"A gentle breeze has appeared!"

"His real name is Lin Yuan, and he lives in Suzhou!"

"Quickly, contact the people in Suzhou and send them the information that Qingfeng is Lin Yuan. Tell them to make sure that this person is admitted to our school."

"yes!"

"It's imperative. Promise SSS-level resources, the best true essence cultivation techniques, experience from high-level bosses... In short, we must recruit them!"

"yes!"

……

Finally, all candidates completed the entry of their level and talent information, and the next step was to draw lots.

Suddenly, the electronic screen started scrolling rapidly.

Then, a densely packed match schedule appeared.

Can't see clearly?

No problem, you can use the information kiosks that are readily available in the stadium. Just enter your name or number, and you'll know roughly when you'll be playing.

what!

Lin Yuan also saw a familiar name.

Han Ming.

She's here too?

That's right, wasn't the first time I met her the low-level map that Su Cheng entered?

At that time, she didn't need to grind for dungeon ratings, so what reason would she have to come all the way from another city?

So, is the Han Group from Suzhou?

That's not right. He checked, and the headquarters of the Han Group should be in Hangzhou. Yes, it's Hangzhou.

That's strange, so why is she studying in Suzhou?

He then entered "Su Yunmeng" into the search bar, but... no such person was found.

Well, he only met her at the entrance of the newbie dungeon, and everyone was teleported there by the SuperStar Game, so it doesn't necessarily mean that Su Yunmeng entered through the gate of Su City.

At that moment, Lin Yuan received a message.

The message Han Ming sent was just a smiley face.

Lin Yuan returned a smiley face, indicating that he also knew that the two of them were in the same examination room.

"I hope I don't run into you too soon," Han Ming added.

Although she had reached level 20 and upgraded her equipment, she felt that the gap between them was too large and she was no match for Lin Yuan.

Therefore, the moment she meets Lin Yuan will be the moment she is eliminated.

Lin Yuan: "Two top martial arts universities. You can choose whichever one you want to attend. Does your ranking in the martial arts exam matter?"

"It's not really important, but I still want to get a good ranking. It's a recognition of my hard work over the past month," Han Ming said.

Ok.

Lin Yuan smiled but did not reply.

He got a bye in the first round...

Therefore, he could only watch the show.

As the knockout stage began, those who had been waiting outside were finally allowed to enter the stadium to watch the games. Students who wanted to continue playing went into the waiting room, and then went into the battle room when it was their turn to play.

There are only 10 battle rooms in total, which is not enough to accommodate so many people fighting at the same time.

Soon, the first batch of students entered the battle rooms. Each battle room was assigned a referee who also served as a safety officer. The referee would intervene in time to stop the battle before any potentially fatal or maiming situation could occur.

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

I wonder what level the referee is at. Can he kill someone right under the referee's nose?

He watched each battle closely.

The intensity of these battles was negligible for him!

How many people can reach level 20 now?

So, even if you wear a set of level 10 black iron armor, how much stats will you get?

In Lin Yuan's eyes, the strength and speed were appalling, but precisely because of this, the referee's skill level... was not high either!

After only a few battles, Lin Yuan saw someone in danger, and then the referee stepped in and blocked the attack for him.

Not strong, probably around level 50, wearing a full set of silver armor, or maybe just a few pieces of silver armor.

what!

Looking at their youthful appearance, Lin Yuan couldn't help but have a guess.

Could these referees be students from Wuhan University?

Very likely.

When I took a bus to Shanghai before, Lin Quan, a student from Wuhan University, served as the safety officer.

He's doing it to earn credits, so can't these other people be doing it to earn credits too?

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's lips.

Level 50+, dressed in silver armor, haha, that's completely impossible to stop him from killing.

Yang Xuan, you're dead!

I said it!
