High Martial Arts: A Cataclysmic Beast? I am the only Beast Tamer!

"Provincial civil service exam?"

The outer perimeter of the K3 trial area.

The other students had mostly dispersed and gone home.

Lu Yu was stopped by Old Wang and stayed behind.

"Yes, the provincial civil service exam!"

"I know you haven't heard of this before, because it's different from the national college entrance examination..."

As he spoke, Old Wang paused, seemingly considering his words, before continuing:

"In fact, you weren't even qualified to know or get involved!"

"Because the so-called provincial exam is actually an internal assessment organized within our Jiang Province, and it's only open to top students from various cities within the province!"

"In our city of Los Angeles, there are only five slots available for test takers!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu immediately raised an eyebrow.

Good guy.

It seems I have to thank myself for getting a very good grade in today's final exam; otherwise, I would be like other students and wouldn't even have the right to know about this.

Old Wang glanced at Lu Yu's expression and continued:

"Although it's called a provincial exam, it can actually be understood as a selection process!"

"As you know, there are only a handful of top martial arts academies in China, and they admit very few students through the national college entrance examination..."

"To get into a top martial arts academy, you must achieve excellent results in the selection process for elite students!"

"Otherwise, unless your performance in the college entrance examination is exceptionally outstanding, it will be extremely difficult to be admitted to a top martial arts academy!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's face showed a slightly strange expression.

This pattern...

Why does this seem so similar to the situation of those students who were directly admitted to universities on Earth in my previous life?

However, the thought only flashed through his mind; Lu Yu was more concerned about another issue:

"I'm a beast tamer, so I can apply to those top martial arts academies?"

What benefits would I gain if I entered a top-tier martial arts academy?

Upon hearing this, Old Wang calmly explained:

"I knew you'd ask that!"

"You are a beast tamer, that's true, but I ask you, do you need cultivation resources?"

Lu Yu nodded without hesitation: "Yes, we need to!"

More than just needs.

There's still a king-level giant beast pet lying in his beast-taming space right now; that guy is a huge resource-devouring beast!

The resources Lu Yu needs far exceed those of any other martial artist!

"That's right!"

"By entering the Martial Academy, you will gain access to extremely abundant cultivation resources!"

"even……"

"Leaving aside resources, entering the Martial Arts Academy will allow you to access more connections and influence, gaining a more powerful background!"

As he spoke, Old Wang's expression turned serious, and he said in a solemn tone:

"Lu Yu, remember this!"

Even in this era of monstrous natural disasters, wherever there is human society, there are undercurrents and power structures at play!

"If you want to grow, you can't avoid these things!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu nodded in agreement.

And Old Wang finally got back to the main topic:

"The provincial exam for top students is held annually, just before the national college entrance examination!"

"Jiang Province's provincial civil service exam is in seven days!"

"According to the information provided by the headmaster..."

"This year's provincial civil service exam was held in a secret location!"

Hearing this, Lu Yu finally showed a look of anticipation.

"A secret realm?"

"A secret realm said to possess countless precious resources and opportunities?"

Mystery!

The same products appeared after the abyss descended!

the difference is……

The abyss is fraught with danger, inhabited by colossal beasts that humans cannot touch. Humans must constantly be on guard against any beast emerging from the abyss and threatening their cities.

But the secret realm is different!

The secret realm is said to be a fragment of a broken little world.

It is filled with countless resources!

Source crystals, equipment, martial arts techniques, cultivation methods...

It can be said that every hidden place is a treasure for humankind!

of course.

Secret realms also have dangers, usually occupied by many mutated beasts, but mutated beasts are not giant beasts after all, and humans can still deal with them with their strength.

"So now you know why only top students can participate in this provincial exam, right?"

Old Wang said mysteriously.

Lu Yu nodded in deep agreement.

"In addition to the resources within the secret realm itself, the provincial exam will also award prizes based on rankings!"

"The reward for the top-ranked player has already been announced in Jinling."

"I think you'll definitely be interested!"

Old Wang looked at Lu Yu, and unusually, he began to speak in riddles.

Lu Yu simply followed his lead and asked, "What is it?"

Old Wang smiled mysteriously and slowly uttered two words:

"A behemoth!"

"What?!"

Lu Yu was shocked!

He was genuinely shocked!

Is the reward for the top scorer in the provincial civil service exam a giant beast?

What the hell!

Could it be that, besides oneself, someone else could contract a giant beast to use for their own purposes?

But soon, Lu Yu realized he was overthinking things.

Old Wang nodded in satisfaction at Lu Yu's reaction and explained:

"It's a behemoth!"

"You wouldn't believe it, would you? To be honest, I was quite surprised when the principal told me!"

"Actually..."

"The reward is indeed a giant beast, but the circumstances are somewhat special, and I don't know the specifics."

"But I guess it was a giant beast that had been suppressed by humans, but hadn't been killed yet, so they left it as a reward."

"After all, it's a giant beast; every part of it is a treasure!"

"The core of the behemoth, the flesh and blood of the behemoth, the fur of the behemoth..."

"Each one is priceless! For any martial artist, they are absolutely unparalleled cultivation treasures!"

"If I had a giant beast core, I would have broken through to the King level long ago..."

Lu Yu was no longer in the mood to listen to Old Wang's rambling.

He had only one thought in his mind—

A colossal beast!

It's still a living behemoth!

This……

Isn't this just another new pet delivered to our door?

This moment.

For the first time, Lu Yu developed a genuine interest in this so-called provincial examination!

It's not just about resources, it's also about getting new giant beast pets!

"The provincial exam will be held in seven days. I will notify you in advance."

"During these seven days, cultivate diligently and improve your strength..."

"Just one more thing, our city's provincial civil service exam results have been among the worst for many years in a row. I hope your class can do better this year!"

Judging from Lu Yu's reaction, Old Wang assumed that he was simply shocked by the reward from the "giant beast".

Although she knew how difficult it was to rank first, she didn't say anything to discourage Lu Yu's confidence.

In his opinion...

If Lu Yu suffers a setback in this provincial exam, it might not be a bad thing. Perhaps he can turn over a new leaf, give up being a beast tamer, and switch to being a martial artist?

"Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you."

"There are five spots for test takers in total in Los Angeles, and our No. 1 High School has three. Besides you, you know the other two!"

"One was your deskmate, Jiang Xueying; the other was your deskmate behind Lin Changyuan!"

"The other two are students from the neighboring No. 2 Middle School, and they are also quite talented!"

"Seven days from now, our performance in Los Angeles will depend on you guys!"

Old Wang patted Lu Yu on the shoulder in encouragement.

At the same time, he also recalled the words the principal had said to him before.

This year's graduating class of high school students in Jiangxi Province is brimming with geniuses, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!

Nine-star martial arts talent is something that might not appear even once every few years.

This year, however, several were released at once!

Those prodigies will gather in this provincial examination and become Lu Yu and his team's opponents!

Old Wang could tell that the principal was prepared for Los Angeles to rank near the bottom again...
