Chapter 147: The College Entrance Examination Begins

Yanlong Base City, outside the Heaven-reaching Tower.

Chu Feng strode to the entrance of the Heaven-reaching Tower.

At the entrance, a graceful woman stood quietly, as if waiting for something.

“Junior Chu Feng greets Senior Archmage.” Chu Feng hurriedly bowed after seeing the woman.

The woman at the entrance of the Heaven-reaching Tower was Su Jin’er’s master, the Archmage Yao Shi’er. Upon seeing Chu Feng’s actions, Yao Shier’s expression was somewhat strange.

“In modern society, why are you so formal?” Yao Shier said with a hint of amusement.

“Ahaha... Cough, where’s that Fire God?” Chu Feng scratched his head awkwardly and quickly changed the topic.

Hearing this, Yao Shi’er pointed at the Heaven-reaching Tower behind her and said, “He said he hasn’t climbed the tower in a long time, so he decided to go in and have some fun.”

“Uh...” n--0vELb1n

Before Chu Feng could react, the Tiantian Tower’s doors opened directly, and Yan Zhan Tian walked out leisurely. “I can’t do it anymore. I’ve been lazy for too long. I only climbed about 60 levels before getting kicked out. It’s so embarrassing.”

Yao Shier rolled her eyes at Yan Zhan Tian and said, “You know you’ve been lazy. After this college entrance examination, you should come with me to the Tianyuan Battlefield for some exercise.”

“It’s not my turn to be on duty yet! How can you make me go so early?” Yan Zhan Tian grumbled.

Watching the two war gods arguing, Chu Feng felt awkward and said, “Um... War gods, what brings you here?”

“We don’t have any particular business, just checking on how the college entrance examination preparations are going,” Yao Shier said gently.

Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. “Preparations are almost complete. All the examinees have arrived in Yanlong Base City. They will rest for half a day today and start the assessment tomorrow morning.”

“I heard you’ve added two extra tasks this time,” Yan Zhantian suddenly asked as if he remembered something.

Chu Feng quickly nodded, “Yes, to eliminate some candidates. Otherwise, each assessment takes too long, wasting too much time. I plan to conduct one assessment in the first two days and the Heaven-reaching Tower assessment on the last day.”

Yan Zhantian rubbed his chin and said, “Alright, do whatever you want.”

“Yes, I will manage the assessments properly,” Chu Feng replied earnestly.

“By the way,” Yan Zhan Tian continued, “Have the examinees from Yicheng Base City arrived?”

“Yi City?” When Chu Feng heard that name, he was momentarily puzzled. He quickly checked his notes and said, “They have all arrived. Do you have any instructions?”

“Good, they’ve arrived. No specific instructions,” Yan Zhantian nodded. “For this college entrance examination, reserve three seats for us to observe. We want to watch.”

“Sure, I’ll arrange it,” Chu Feng agreed.

Yao Shier thought for a moment and said, “Make it three seats. I’m bringing my disciple.”

“Yes!”

“And, for the preliminary assessment, put Yicheng Base City first. There’s nothing else to do. You can go now.” After saying that, Yan Zhantian and Yao Shier continued to bicker and walked away.

Only Chu Feng was left alone.

“Yicheng Base City? What’s so special about this place?” He looked at the two people leaving in a daze.

The man next to Chu Feng thought for a moment and said, “There’s a rumor that during this college entrance examination, the War God might be taking on a disciple. Could it be that they have a potential candidate in Yicheng Base City?”

Chu Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this. “I see...”

“In such a small place as Yicheng Base City, are there really any talented individuals? Instruct them to increase the selection criteria for Yicheng Base City and try to eliminate all the candidates from that city!”

Upon hearing this, the man beside Chu Feng was also momentarily surprised but nodded, “Yes, I’ll give the order.”

The next day, in the early morning.

Mo Xiao and the others were led to what was called the examination venue by the staff.

The so-called examination venue was a massive square with no constructions.

It was divided into numerous small rooms using countless wooden boards.

Each room could accommodate about 300 people.

“Huh? Weren’t we supposed to go to the Heaven-reaching Tower for the college entrance examination? What’s going on here?” Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, some examinees also realized that something was wrong and frowned.

As the content of the college entrance examination was well-known, it was clear that this time it was different from previous years.

Just as everyone was feeling perplexed, Chu Feng appeared again before them. “Hello, everyone. I’m Chu Feng, and we met just yesterday.

“I’m sure many of you know that in the past, the college entrance examination took place in the Heaven-reaching Tower.

“But this time, we’re here, and many of you must be wondering why.

“I’m here to explain.”

“The Heaven-reaching Tower is an incredibly mystical high tower, much like a dungeon, created by the laws of the world, and it has its own rules of operation.

“Only 10 people can enter at a time because its testing efficiency is too slow. So, to avoid long waiting times, I’ve added two additional assessments!”

“The main goal is to filter out those who are qualified to enter

Heaven-reaching Tower!”

“As for how much you can keep, it depends on your own strength!”

“Next! The college entrance examination begins! Candidates from Yicheng Base City, please enter!”

Following Chu Feng’s voice, the square instantly became noisy again.

Yicheng Base City?

What kind of small place was this?

It could be said that other than Yicheng Base City itself, no one had ever heard of this place.

“Yicheng Base City? What kind of place is that? Why should they start first?”

“That’s right, that’s right! Shouldn’t the locals of Yanlong Base City go first?!”

“That’s right! I object!! Why should we wait so long?!”

Hearing the commotion beside him, Mo Xiao frowned unhappily.

“Kid, I have a feeling that something might be amiss here.” Just then, the Sword Emperor suddenly appeared, looking serious.

“Something amiss? What do you mean?” Mo Xiao asked, puzzled.

“I don’t know the specifics, but it’s just my intuition.” The Sword Emperor furrowed his brow and looked around. “Adding two extra assessments suddenly and making Yicheng Base City go first, especially the way he looked just now, it’s definitely not good!”

“Uh...” Mo Xiao twitched his lips after hearing the Sword Emperor’s words. “So, you’re going purely by your imagination?”

“This is what they call a strong person’s intuition! At my level, I’ve relied on my intuition to avoid countless dangers!” The Sword Emperor said proudly.

“Yet you’re still alive?”
