Chapter 61: The Examination Begins
Under the terrifying pressure, Wei Le found it extremely difficult to even move.
"You've put a lot of effort into planting that undercover agent in Mo Pavilion, haven't you?"
"Without the location data from that phone call, it really wouldn't have been easy to root them out."
"Now, everything should come to an end."
With a hint of melancholy, Zhong Yushu sighed, casually tossing the pill onto the ground.
This time, many people will die again.
Every victory in war is always accompanied by life, by blood.
Perhaps, this is the destiny of every awakened one.
He... is truly tired.
In war, there are never any victors.
Behind him, the ethereal figure hovered midair, holding a long spear, like a god of war.
Below, Zhong Yushu, slightly hunched over, looked forlorn, resembling an old farmer from the countryside.
For a moment, it was hard to tell which one was truly him.
...
"Examination countdown..."
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
As all the teachers synchronized their stopwatches, the proctor shouted out.
Almost the moment the word "one" dropped, all the students rushed towards the forest, various awakened items materializing. Although none was a full awakening, they still provided a slight enhancement to their physical strength.
Especially those with flight and agility abilities, their speed was incredibly fast.
In the blink of an eye, they dashed into the forest.
Yu Sheng was also running, but not fast, with a dagger in his left hand and a crossbow in his right, with no intention of summoning his awakened item.
Li Yihan was closely following behind Yu Sheng.
"Can you at least tell me who you are planning to kill?"
He continued to press for an answer.
This matter had clearly become his obsession since leaving that terrifying room, often echoing in his mind.
"After we get out... I'll tell you."
Leaving behind these words, Yu Sheng suddenly sped up, but without the boost from an awakened item, he was still among the last.
Suddenly...
A painful scream erupted from the forest.
A student was flung out, crashing heavily to the ground, and the bird-like awakened item behind them dimmed significantly, retracting back into the body.
Faintly, growls could be heard.
A large number of students were cleared out.
Through the lush trees, pairs of blood-red eyes could be seen.
Ferocious, terrifying.
"Trees... There are demon beasts in the forest!"
This revelation left many on-site bewildered and at a loss.
After all, in their usual understanding, demon beasts are synonymous with ferocity.
"Foolish people!"
"This is an exam!"
"I refuse to believe that demon beasts can actually kill us!"
Zhao Zicheng's voice echoed through the crowd, and the next second a sandbag appeared in front of him, which he hugged to his chest and rushed into the forest.
Then...
"Damn, that hurts so much!"
There was a piercing scream.
Surprisingly, despite taking a swipe from a tiger demon, the sandbag showed no signs of dissipating. Zhao Zicheng, though screaming in pain, charged forward like a cockroach that refuses to die.
It was as if... he was exceptionally resilient.

Du Xu followed closely behind him; the two of them charged recklessly without any technique, relying solely on their ability to withstand hits and forcefully make their way forward.
"We have numbers, just rush in together."
"Whoever gets knocked out is just unlucky!"
Soon, the students caught on and one after another, they shouted and charged back into the forest.
It was a scene of chaotic excitement.
Yu Sheng, however, remained unremarkable, always managing to find the least conspicuous position. Like a ghost, he moved into the forest at a steady, though not fast, pace, skillfully avoiding the demon beasts around him.
Li Yihan followed Yu Sheng the entire time. As someone who had meticulously studied "The Cultivation of an Assassin" and aspired to be the top assassin, every detail of Yu Sheng's behavior was a masterclass in his eyes.
He even thought that with Yu Sheng’s skill level, even without using an awakened item, there might be a fair chance of successfully assassinating a second-tier awakened person.
He deliberately tried to mimic Yu Sheng’s steps.
But soon, the distance between him and Yu Sheng grew wider until Yu Sheng completely disappeared from his sight.
He felt frustrated.
But even more so, his fighting spirit surged.
Clenching his fists, he continuously recalled every detail of how Yu Sheng had handled visibility issues before, and Li Yihan also progressed in an orderly manner.
At least... he had surpassed most people.
Those who had initially relied on their speed and activated their awakened items were now prime targets for the demon beasts. If not broken bones, at the very least, much of the energy accumulated in their bodies had dissipated.
The proctor watched this scene silently, with no reaction whatsoever.
"Damn!"
Luo Yun, staring at the body of a squad member, couldn't help but curse.
"Shit!"
"The school still has no idea what's going on. If we delay any longer, things could get complicated!"
He roared, his eyes bloodshot, completely abandoning defense and attacking ferociously.
His speed was particularly fast, causing the opposing God-Servant a lot of trouble.
"Rules of the battlefield: never disobey orders from your superiors."
Wang Wenxuan, usually reckless, was surprisingly rational at this moment, his hand holding the giant axe beginning to tremble slightly.
Behind Zhao Qingyi, the ice sculpture was gradually dimming.
Clearly, the energy was also running low.
Including An Xin.
The only consolation might be that the situation on the other side seemed even worse.
...
Liu Qingfeng held a longsword in one hand, with a gash across his chest, from which three fierce scars blood continuously dripped.
Though also four times awakened.
But he was originally disabled, and his energy was not at its peak.
Compared to that God-Attendant, he was inherently at a disadvantage.
"Liu Qingfeng, come back, I'll handle him!"
The Principal, also somewhat in a disarray, coughed twice and called out to Liu Qingfeng from among the crowd.
Liu Qingfeng's expression remained unchanged: "In terms of position, you are the leader."
"On the battlefield, I have two cloud patterns, you... follow military orders!"
He spoke calmly.
Blood dripped continuously down his arm, completely soaking the cloth wrapped around his hand.
"Give up."
"This world will ultimately be illuminated by the light of the Gods."
"You all are nothing but filth on the earth."
"Needing purification."
The God-Attendant, high and mighty, even as the surrounding believers suffered heavy casualties, showed no change in expression.
Such mediocrity, yet dreaming of soaring to the heavens, these fools can be developed again at any time, especially with the special potion handed down from above, quickly cultivating a new group.
And for oneself, just follow the orders from above to destroy this school and then retreat. With a sister in high position above, perhaps... advancement could be possible.
The only annoying part, perhaps, was these irritating little bugs, somewhat troublesome.
Maybe, it was time to speed things up.
Glancing at the time, the God-Attendant's eyes gradually turned cold and he charged at Liu Qingfeng once again.
