Free Web NovelYue Zhong, the main examiner responsible for Entrance No. 02, had a somewhat peculiar expression.
One minute; he would be teleported out as soon as he stepped into the Thousand Stele Forest. Forget the core area, he probably wouldn't even reach the periphery.
Every teacher and student at Xianzong University knew that the Thousand Stele Forest had a very bad temper.
Whether the steles lit up depended on their own mood, but if one hadn't approached them, they almost certainly wouldn't light up.
And the location of this assessment entrance was relatively secluded.
From the entrance, two hundred meters in, there ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ were only seven solitary stone steles, not even enough to meet the minimum score required for the assessment, let alone the fact that if two of these seven steles showed any activity, it would already be quite generous to the student.
This girl was finished.
Mingxi was unaware of Yue Zhong's thoughts at the moment.
She lightly hummed in response.
It was a very relaxed, casual tone.
After that 'hmm,' Yue Zhong hadn't reacted yet, but Mingxi herself paused for a moment.
No!
Her attitude towards the new student entrance examination seemed a little too detached.
This was very wrong!
Being Buddhist was good, but on a crisis-ridden planet like Green Field Star, and in a school like Xianzong University that followed the cruel law of the jungle, losing the will to contend was not merely a matter of being eliminated; one might very well die.
Moreover, after experiencing nine deaths and one life, she was indeed a bit Buddhist due to physical factors, but she had a very clear understanding of the path she was about to take.
It was impossible for her to truly be Buddhist.
So there was something.
Something was trying to influence her mindset!
What was it? Since when did it start?
Was it the Endless Sea? Or was it this university?
Mingxi's eyes became unusually sharp, but she quickly calmed down.
Cannot be anxious, cannot rush.
Realizing the problem, Mingxi immediately adjusted her mindset.
Mingxi did not know that although her instantaneous change was subtle, it still fell into the eyes of the examiner in front of her.
“Oh?”
Yue Zhong squinted his eyes; he was sure he hadn't misread it. Just now, the girl's aura had changed!
Initially, she was completely relaxed and casual. Although not obvious, it was clear that she didn't attach much importance to the new student entrance examination. It wasn't that she didn't care about the assessment, but rather a state of confidence that made it seem optional.
Yes, confidence!
It was an absolute confidence.
A completely different kind of confidence from Lin Su, who was famous on Green Field Star just now.
How to describe it?
Yue Zhong frowned, pondering for a long while in his mind before finally finding that vague feeling!
That's it.
The feeling this girl, Yan Luoxi, gave him was as if even if she successfully entered Xianzong University, it wouldn't add anything to her!
So she was relaxed, she was casual, and she didn't care about the entrance examination at all.
But now, the feeling this girl gave him had changed again.
From a lazy lion resting and licking its fur, she had transformed into a fierce beast poised to pounce on its prey at any moment!
Yes.
That's the feeling.
While Yue Zhong was lost in thought, the girl had already received the set-up assessment token and, at the signal of the student he brought, stepped into the now quiet Thousand Stele Forest.
The assessment token was a customized tool, with a timer and a short-distance spatial teleportation array.
When new students entered the Thousand Stele Forest, the countdown would activate, and after the countdown ended, the spatial teleportation array would automatically trigger, teleporting the new students out of the Thousand Stele Forest.
Even with just a short distance of one meter.
Inside and outside the Thousand Stele Forest brought Mingxi two completely different sensations.
The refreshing wind and warm sun from just now seemed to be merely her illusion.
It wasn't that the Thousand Stele Forest was eerie and terrifying, but rather...
Stillness.
Mingxi felt that the air she breathed was still, the sunlight falling down was still, the soil she stepped on was still, the stone steles in her sight were still...
The only thing that seemed to be 'moving' was herself. freewebnoveℓ.com
This feeling was too strange.
Can you imagine walking without even a single wisp of wind being stirred?
The moment she stepped into this space, Mingxi immediately stood still, without any movement, as if she had been frozen. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
To better observe the Thousand Stele Forest, Xianzong University built eight watchtowers outside the Thousand Stele Forest at the beginning of its establishment.
Although the towers were less than a thousand meters high, each one was 620 meters tall. If this building height were in Mingxi's previous life, each one could rank among the top ten buildings in the world.
But in this world, although thousand-meter-high buildings were not ubiquitous, there were indeed quite a few.
Getting back to the main topic.
The annual new student entrance examination was definitely one of the highlights of Xianzong University.
Except for the best and highest tower tops, many older students, who started school a week early, had already occupied the eight watchtowers.
Watching the live broadcast of the new batch of students' assessments was also a fine tradition of Xianzong University.
And compared to the third stage, which could result in casualties, and the first stage, which was too subjective, many people paid more attention to the second stage, which had the highest value.
Because students who performed exceptionally well in the second stage of Xianzong University's new student entrance assessment over the years, without exception, all stood out after officially enrolling.
At this moment, on the 42nd floor of the watchtower facing due east, two exceptionally handsome young men stood by the railing. One held a long-distance viewing tool.
The other was calmly watching the scene projected in front of him, remotely magnified by his pet's skill.
Zhang Yike suddenly put down his binoculars and bumped the burly young man beside him with his shoulder.
The young man turned to look at him but didn't speak, raising an eyebrow, his meaning clear.
Zhang Yike smiled, “I didn’t expect you to come today. Aren’t you usually uninterested in these things?”
The tall young man beside him was named Qian Bingning, a hybrid of Blue Star human and Kabu Clan, considered one of the first mixed-bloods born from the union of Blue Star people and indigenous inhabitants.
Qian Bingning was a third-year student this year and ranked second on Xianzong University's Xingyao List.
He was also the creator of the 339 historical records in the Thousand Stele Forest.
This person had a relatively solitary personality. Usually, besides going out on missions, he would just stay in the battle arena, training, training, and more training, indifferent to other matters.
In his three years of enrollment, this was the first time he had shown interest in the new student entrance examination.
Qian Bingning turned his head and continued to stare at the projection in front of him, still showing no intention of speaking.
Zhang Yike was already accustomed to his silence. This person liked quiet and didn't like to talk, which was why only the two of them were on this floor.
“Is it because of Lin Su? I didn’t expect you to feel a sense of urgency, but he indeed has strength that makes people wary. The new Star Picker should be him.”
Qian Bingning suddenly chuckled softly, “I just happened to have some free time, so I came to see what kind of clown he is.”
Wary of Lin Su?
Non-existent.
Zhang Yike wasn't surprised to hear such a reply. When Qian Bingning spoke, he could choke people to death.
He was their school's unique cool, sharp-tongued handsome guy.
“He really is a clown.”
