Beginning of Assesment

--Half-moon shaped stands, VIP seats.

The guests from the holy land forces were all arranged to be at the front, and various precious fruits and snacks were already prepared on the table in the stands.

The various commanders of Tree Shade City were arranged in another area, and there was also a high platform for battle pets to watch.

Commander Tu's Fire Phoenix Bird stayed behind the spectator's seat and stretched its neck.

There were quite a few guests and students who had arrived early and were secretly taking photos of them.

One can't help but suspect that Tu Tong led the Fire Phoenix Bird not to watch the battle, but to lure, lure outstanding students.

On the front ring, on the left side of the area, there was a sign with the words "The Heroes 'Club" written on it.

This was the area where the guests from the Heroes 'Club were seated.

At this time,

There was still some time before the graduation exam. The witch who had stayed in Tree Shade City for nearly a year had come to the viewing platform early.

She was wearing a slit cheongsam and sat on a chair with her legs crossed, attracting many gazes.

A middle-aged man in a suit walked over.

"Ms. Helen, long time no see."

"I didn't expect Mr. Kloss to come here personally."

"No matter what, Victor is still an outstanding junior of our family. Of course, we have to support him."

The Kloss Family was a huge family in North America before the apocalypse. Although it was affected at the beginning of the apocalypse, it still had a large body.

After Gold Crests had broken through to the Second Order of the Extraordinary Realm, the Crests Family had established themselves as one of the top families of the Heroes 'Club.

Now, within the Heroes 'Club, they had an influential influence.

If not for this, Victor would not have been able to obtain the qualifications to exchange students at the World Tree Academy.

Once Victor broke through to the Second Order, the Crests Family would be able to obtain another important seat.

Second Order,

This was the dividing line between ordinary experts and peak experts... except for Tree Shade City.

The second rank's life-saving ability allowed them to be bold enough to explore all sorts of dangerous places.

Currently, the second rank Transcendents of the Heroes 'Club had all awakened at the beginning of the apocalypse. They used the eastern wind of their soul force to reach the great circle of perfection and beyond the mortal rank. In their repeated exploration, they had obtained lucky chances and only managed to reach the second rank in a few years.

For the current younger generation, they were not lacking in resources, but they lacked opportunities.

To be able to break through to the second rank faster, one's innate talent was very important.

"I wonder how much Victor has learned in Tree Shade City?"

"Victor, that little fellow, is not bad. He has a chance to enter the extraordinary class."

As the witch spoke, she casually picked up a green fruit and put it into her mouth.

She poured a cup of vintage wine and gestured to Lex, "A little?"

"Not really. The graduation examination has not officially begun yet."

Lex's thoughts were all on the graduation examination.

He didn't just want to review Victor's progress, he also had a mission to observe the level of the new generation geniuses of the holy lands.

After all, the witches were too unreliable.

In the past year in Tree Shade City, there had been very few news that came back.

But after all, it was the witch's invitation, he absently picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The mellow wine slid down his throat and his face suddenly revealed a shocked expression.

"This wine can actually increase one's strength?"

The Origin Energy within his body began to circulate at a high speed.

A single sip was equivalent to three days of cultivation!

One should not underestimate these three days. Ordinary people and low-level Metahumans could increase their strength by eating the meat of different beasts. However, for Lex, who was already a Grade Two Transcendent, her body was close to that of a god. There were already fewer and fewer treasures that could be used.

He gulped down a cup of fine wine and used his source power to vibrate the wine. The bottom of the cup was smooth and clean, leaving not a single drop behind.

His old face suddenly turned red.

Only then did he remember that he was not in a private space, but in public.

Fortunately, no one should have noticed it.

He glanced at Witch Helen, who was next to him, and then gradually turned his eyes to the table in front of him.

Melodies, delicious food, a dazzling array of things.

Could it be...

His breathing gradually quickened.

He forced himself to calm down again.

In Tree Shade City, such delicious food is not rare. There are only enough Origin Crystals, and there are very few that can not be bought.

The witch smiled.

Lex pretended to be calm as she picked up a fruit of an unknown breed.

She swallowed it in one mouthful.

Pure source energy burst forth from her mouth.

It bloomed along with the juice, making one feel like they were in a paradise.

"Ah ---"

Lex covered her mouth and realized that the voice was not coming from her mouth.

It was not far away.

A female VIP was too immersed and forgot herself.

Three days, seven days, half a month...

Mr. Lex counted.

He was still able to restrain himself and did not sweep away all the delicacies and fine wine on the table.

After all,

Miss Helen also said that all of this was sold in Tree Shade City.

Lex wanted to ask, could the time of this business trip be extended by three to four... five to six months?

If not,

You can always find a replacement for it, right?

For example, let Victor, that bastard, return to the Heroes 'Club once a month, no, half a month?

...

As time approached, the guests from the various holy lands gradually took their seats.

There were more than twenty distinguished guests from Northern Court, all of whom were great figures in the defensive circle of Northern Court.

Apart from Yao Zhaokong, the first guardian of Northern Court, Great Master Meng Jingran, who came to Tree Shade City in advance, also came here.

"Old Yao, I heard that your grandson is among the top students of this year?"

"Hehe, average. I told my grandson that if he can't get to the top... Uh, top 16, I will break his legs."

"There are many talents in Tree Shade City."

Grandmaster Meng sighed, "Perhaps, we can consider having a comprehensive cooperation with the World Tree Academy. In any case, the environment is gradually stabilizing and the traffic is becoming increasingly developed. It won't take much time from Northern Court to Tree Shade on an airship. Even ordinary students can often travel back and forth."

Yao Zhaokong seemed to be a little surprised.

In the new era, neither you nor I are stubborn. We should do our best to push forward things that are beneficial to the people of Great Xia and all humanity.

However, not everyone can recognize reality. This depends on your grandson's performance. 

Northern Court had a close relationship with Tree Shade, but not all the young geniuses had joined the exchange group.

There would always be people who made their own decisions.

They thought that the difference in their teachers' strength was not big, so they were disdainful, or they were unwilling to admit that they were not good enough.

Yao Zhaokong said, "That's easy. Cheng Wu has improved a lot in the past year. When he returns to Northern Court during the summer vacation, the young people in their circle will gather together and compare them. The gap will come out."

...

In a training ground in the school.

Gu Tang sat quietly with his eyes closed since last night. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed in them.

He stood up and wore a set of martial arts clothes made of precious materials.

On his chest and back, there was a word "Gu" embroidered, representing the Ancient Spirit Royal Family.

Pushing open the door of the training ground, the word "Gu" emitted a golden light, and the loose sleeves of the martial arts suit swayed gently in the breeze.

"Hmm?"

Gu Tang looked not far away, under a big tree that needed ten people to encircle, leaning against a figure.

His face was somewhat similar to his, but it was more mature and dignified.

"Third Brother."

Gu Tang crossed his fingers and nodded his head without saying anything.

"Thirteen, remember. You represent the face of our royal family. You can only win and not lose. Do you understand?"

"I don't need you to tell me,"

he said coldly, walking straight to the arena without looking back.

The third brother narrowed his eyes.

Under the sunlight, his back gradually faded away.

...

"Friends in the audience, friends in the audience! I am in the arena of the World Tree Academy. The arena not far from me is the arena for this graduation examination."

The female reporter of Tree Shade TV station could not hide her excitement.

Behind her, there was a two-meter-long staff with a basketball sized shadow crystal embedded at the tip of the staff.

It formed a piece of rune equipment.

By touching the runes on the staff, the boss could adjust the image of the shadow crystal to be far away.

At this time,

Following the female reporter's introduction to the World Tree Academy, the Imaging Crystal turned its camera to take a picture of the interior of the academy.

This was the first time the mysterious World Tree Academy had been seen by the public.

At this moment,

In the distance,

A row of tall and straight experts dressed in blue and silver clothes flew over from the sky.

"It's the uniform of the personal guards! That's the personal guards of the City Lord!"

The female reporter who had done her homework exclaimed.

The Imaging Crystal quickly focused the image.

Hundreds of personal guards were divided into several rows, flying neatly in the air. In an instant, they stopped from the last one and stood in the air.

In the blink of an eye,

The personal guards were divided into two rows and stood in the air. Facing each other, the two were four or five meters apart.

The rainbow bridge appeared from the horizon, and the private guards spread forward to the VIP stands.

A figure appeared at the end of the bridge.

Tang Yu appeared from the end of the sky and stepped onto the rainbow bridge.

He was half a body behind him on the right, followed by the captain of the personal guards, Nancy.

Behind him were eight elite guards on the left and right.

Stepping on the rainbow bridge, he strolled through the void.

The wind blew past, and the wind blew loudly.

Step by step, his movements seemed slow, but from the end of the rainbow bridge to the high platform, it was only a dozen or twenty seconds.

It was as if he had only walked a distance of more than ten meters.

The elite guards behind him maintained the same pace and did not slow down at all.

This made the reporters and audience of Tree Shade's radio station feel very regretful. Why didn't they take a little longer?

The Imaging Crystal could only focus on every corner of the arena.

In the middle of the VIP seats,

Tang Yu sat down on the main seat and nodded at the guests with a smile on his face.

Nancy kept her silence and sat beside him.

She was a clone.

Tang Yu was the same.

His true body was lying in the castle, quietly watching the live broadcast in an unknown place.

He was leisurely.

He would just leave the trouble to his clone.

This was all thanks to Nancy.

As the captain of the personal guards, she had to be by Tang Yu's side when he attended formal occasions.

However, Nancy probably couldn't sit still for even a moment.

Or perhaps she would fall asleep after sitting for a long time.

The clone was different. Nancy set up the image of the clone as a "serious, well-behaved, jpg", which suited the silence of the captain of the personal guards.

Tang Yu had no choice but to debut as a clone as well... Cough, attending.

However, no one could tell.

Mr. Rex of the Heroes 'Club was secretly observing.

The moment he saw City Lord Tang appear, he could not help but gasp.

Of course, he could not see through City Lord Tang and Captain Nancy, but the sixteen elite guards behind him were all Rank 2 Transcendent.

They were not newly promoted.

Their cultivation levels were not inferior to his at all.

All of a sudden, Tree Shade City's foundation was revealed.

As for Nancy and Tang Yu, the light in Lex's eyes was reserved, just like that of an ordinary person.

He did not even dare to look at them again.

"I wonder what level the two of you are at now." He used his mental energy to send a message.

The witch shrugged. "How would I know? I'm afraid that not many of the higher-ups in Tree Shade City know about this. This is a realm that we will never be able to catch up to in our entire lives."

Tang Yu was just an honored guest who had come to brush up on his face. The matter of presiding over the graduation examination was naturally handled by the higher-ups of the academy.

He only needed to issue a certificate to the most outstanding graduates and raise their reputation.

On the high platform,

Shang Gongling glanced at the guests who had already arrived, and the students of the genius class who were ready, and secretly cast two majestic BUFF spells on herself and said:

"Today's graduation assessment is a one-on-one combat assessment. Other than not being able to use a one-time item beyond the specifications, there are no restrictions on the rest of the equipment and auxiliary items."

"The two sides will start from Class 5. They will use the grading system and promotion system to obtain the time of victory and whether or not they will be heavily injured. Whether or not they need the referee to stop them will affect the score of the winner."

In other words, the easier it was to win, the higher the score.

If it was a close victory, it would be the lowest grade.

"The ten students with the highest score in class five will advance and fight against the students of class four, and so on. Until the last class fights, it will be changed to the elimination competition system."

There was only a monthly test a month ago, and there were very few students in class five who had the chance to defeat the last of class four, but they were still geniuses after all.

This rule, in fact, gave the geniuses who were ranked lower the chance to show their strength.

Those who performed well among them might be chosen by the commanders of the various mecha clans.

There were also more than half of the students in Class 5, and they were exchange students from various factions.

Whether it was the holy land forces or the ordinary regional hegemons, they all wanted to know how much their respective geniuses had improved after studying abroad for a year.

The two sides of the battle used a random selection method, which seemed to have a part of luck.

If the opponent he drew was weaker and could be cleanly dealt with, he would be able to obtain a higher score and have a higher chance of advancing.

But in reality, the impact of luck wasn't too great.

Even if it was the No. 1 and the crane at the back, the gap between Class 5 students wouldn't be too big.

In battle, it tested the performance of both sides and their tactical arrangements.

Unlike Class One, where true geniuses gathered, from last place to first place, their combat strength rose in a ascending manner.

Soon,

Two students from Class Five walked up to the arena.

The arena was wide and five hundred, enough for the students to use. When the two students went up, the four corners of the arena, the four ends of the pillars, the width of the pillars, and the width of the pillars, shot out light.

Between the four beams of light, two of them worked, forming a faint purple light curtain that enveloped the arena.

The referee announced the start.

On the arena,

The auras of the two students erupted. They were both at the Great Circle of the Awakening Stage.

The guests outside the arena were not surprised.

He was a genius student, and it was only a basic operation for him to cultivate to the perfection stage in a few years.

How long would it take to break through the mirror and become a Transcendent was the standard to test the aptitude and effort of the students.

The range of the battle was limited, and the duration of each battle was not long.

It was even very short.

However, the quality of the battle was surprisingly high.

Each and every one of them far surpassed the combat strength of the Great Circle State realm.

"Are they really only at the awakened realm?"

A senior from an overlord force couldn't help but ask.
