Su Chen went to bed early, waiting to welcome the martial arts examination the next day.
In the dead of night, when Wang Hui and her best friend were brought out from behind the iron bars, their homeroom teacher wore a grim expression.
"You two really are a handful. You've left a record now, and the provincial authorities have already started an investigation against you."
"What? How could this happen?" Wang Hui's face instantly showed panic.
She never imagined that her attempt to trip up Su Chen would end up affecting her future! What kind of identity did he have?
The homeroom teacher fell silent for a moment before sighing. "It's sensitive. You two should avoid provoking Su Chen; he's not simple!"
"We just received news that his Martial Spirit has awakened for the second time, and he has cleared the Silvermoon Valley at the elite level, breaking records that haven't been seen in a hundred years. Even the Imperial Capital's Four Major Academies have extended olive branches to him."
"Cleared at the elite level? How is that possible?" Wang Hui's eyes widened in disbelief.
She knew very well how high the difficulty was for clearing at that level. In fact, throughout Dongji City's history over the past hundred years, there had only been a handful of records, and they were all at the elite level.
Let alone something like the elite Silvermoon Valley; this was the first time anyone had cleared an elite dungeon!
Hearing about Su Chen's second awakening didn't shock her as much as this news did. Clearing at the elite level? She couldn't believe it no matter what.
This was an elite level; perhaps only Qin Chuan could achieve such a feat?
"Is he already a designated disciple of the Imperial Capital's Four Major Academies?" Wang Hui's face was filled with despair.
She never thought that what she considered a frog in a well could suddenly sprout wings and soar out of the valley, even leaving her behind.
"He rejected them." The homeroom teacher shook his head, which was what truly astonished him.
After all, the Imperial Capital's Four Major Academies were the top institutions in all of Great Xia. No one had the courage to turn down their invitation.
But Su Chen did just that.
"He rejected them?"
Wang Hui let out a cold laugh, thinking him a fool. At that moment, her gaze flickered; as long as Qin Chuan was eliminated in the National Examination, losing his chance to enter the Four Great Academies, he would remain a mere insect, unable to rise for the rest of his life.
The next day, Su Chen arrived early at the examination site: the Eastern Polar Academy's Martial Arts Arena. Candidates from Dongji City, whether they were from the Eastern Polar Academy or independent candidates, all gathered at the Martial Arts Arena for their assessments.
Every year, there were simply too many candidates; Dongji City alone had nearly ten thousand participants. No venue could accommodate such a multitude of martial artists competing. Therefore, the City Exam utilized a simulated examination environment, where everyone would be transported into an artificial virtual space to undergo their assessments. This virtual world was meticulously crafted to closely replicate reality.
In this way, candidates from various towns only needed to take the exam locally. At this moment, Su Chen was fitted with a simulation helmet. Once he put it on, the world before him instantly became blurred.
Ding! The system began to assess the candidate's Martial Spirit, Star Ring, and Wu Fu. It was simulating the candidate's abilities.
In the next instant, his virtual form appeared on a vast grassland.
