Within the entire State, in the examination area, after opting out, the candidates who were eliminated were transported there. It was not the same as in previous years, as the number of people eliminated by the first wave this year was very surprising, it could be seen from the number of candidates in the area.

No matter who it was, they were crying bitterly, this included some of the usual so-called geniuses.

"Why? Why was it so difficult-!"

"Damn it, this first wave was too difficult."

"I can at least pass the second wave in the usual simulation, but now I can't even pass the first wave?!"

"I blew the chance, there was no hope anymore."

"Luckily, it's not that lonely with so many people being eliminated."

"…"

All of them were talking loudly, and it was all in the first wave at this time.

"I... how did I get eliminated in the first wave? The one who came up with the questions deserves to die." Brian clenched his fists tightly in the corner of the square, and his face was gloomy.

As one of the top geniuses in Oakleaf School, Brian was also well-known, so many people had high expectations for him! However, in the first wave, he couldn't resist the attack of the zombies and he was eliminated.

"Lucy...Sebastian..." Especially since Sebastian and Lucy were nowhere to be seen, his face twisted slightly.

Before the rise of Lucy and Sebastian, he was a popular person at Oakleaf School. He was the most shining one, even after awakening his planet later. Brian also considered himself a genius who had awakened the planet close to Lucy. But if he was thinking about the civilization of ordinary being built by Sebastian, it was so-so and there was not much potential at all.

Even if he won the championship of the Grand Competition, so what? He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, prepared for the examination, and unleashed his potential to suppress Sebastian for good.

However, who would have expected that not only did he fail to suppress Sebastian and Lucy? On the contrary, he was eliminated in the first wave, also, with this, he lost the opportunity to go to an academy.

According to Federal Regulations, to get to an academy, in this section of actual combat assessment, he had to pass at least one wave. Otherwise, no matter how good he was in the first three subjects, it was useless.

[ ===== ]

"Unfortunately, Brian is too impatient and wants to express himself too much." Inside the conference room of Oakleaf School, seeing Brian being eliminated, supervisors and teachers were shaking their heads and sighing.

Brian was the third genius among them, so there were quite a few people who were paying attention but no one could have imagined that Brian would lose.

"He's trying to prove himself," Steiner spoke up.

The teachers were very experienced and they could see that Brian went from being the most spectacular man of the hour to being continuously surpassed by Lucy and Sebastian. He was psychologically unbalanced.

"With his strength, as long as he is not so impatient and fights gradually, sooner or later, the weakness of the zombie group would be discovered, and it would be impossible to fall at this first wave."

Another teacher also sighed: "But it's useless to say anything, there is no chance to do it again."

After a short talk about Brian, the group also turned their attention to the others. Due to the unprecedented difficulty of this exam, many geniuses like Brian lost because of carelessness. They stumbled at the first wave, so they were eliminated.

However, for the vast majority of geniuses, especially those who were ranked on the Genius List, the first wave was just a little trickier. Over time, they also quickly discovered the weakness of these zombies.

[ ===== ]

"The brain of this monster is a weakness and it is afraid of fire." While the Astra Militarum dragged back the fallen one after another, anatomical studies were being performed.

While monitoring, a scientist reported, "Other than the head, other parts have strong protection against bullets but it's not indestructible. If the attack power exceeds a certain threshold, they will also be knocked down. The most frightening thing about such monsters is not their defensive power, but…"

The scientist paused for a moment and said solemnly: "Their infectious ability. If bitten by them, will be assimilated into this monster."

The Astra Militarum knew this too because, earlier when Cross sent people to capture the remaining dozens of zombies while they were still active, to take them back to the Supernatural Research Institute for research, Guardsmen who were distracted were bitten by a zombie. Less than a moment later, he became the same as a zombie.

Fortunately, the Astra Militarum reacted in time. With the prior expeditions to various Supernatural planets, they were quite experienced. Horses directed these active zombies back and after conducting some research, they found this dreadful trait,

"So, a preliminary conclusion can be made. These monsters might have been ordinary people, but for some unknown reason, they might have been transformed into such monsters due to some kind of Supernatural energy." The scientist concluded.

The other scientists listened carefully while nodding slightly.

"This is a type of Supernatural species we've never encountered before." Elizabeth personally came into the research room to watch the dissection, and then spoke up, "So everyone needs to pay more attention. Try to find out the reason for the creation of this monster as soon as possible."

This had always been the strategy of the Astra Militarum. In every battle of the outer planets, it could be more than just defeating those Supernatural species. The most important thing was the study of these Supernatural species to analyze their characteristics and secrets. Using the traditions left over from the era of Kai, as long as it was a creature, it would have its weaknesses, but it would depend on whether or not it could be found.

[ ===== ]

At the same moment, above the area, the leaderboard appeared. This was the ranking of the results after the first wave. For practical assessment, the rankings were published in the area of the examination to stimulate the competition of major geniuses.

It was just that, at this time, not too many people paid attention to it, only after the second wave would the results be worth seeing.

Ten minutes of preparation time passed quickly and the ghostly voice rang out, "The second wave of Supernatural Invasion is about to begin, please prepare yourselves."

In front of Sebastian, a ten-second countdown started.

[ ===== ]

After it reached zero, outside the Royal Tombs Mountains, the planet passage opened again and a bizarre aura came from it. Above the tall city walls, the Astra Militarum was organized, this time, it was not the First Regiment; it was replaced with the Second Regiment led by Ewart. The chief commander was still Cross, but the command this time was given to Ewart. The first one went over well, so in this second wave, Cross did not need to lead.

This must be a more powerful Supernatural race than the first wave of zombies.

Guardsmen of the Second Regiment were not afraid; instead, they were rubbing their hands with faces of excitement and anticipation. For the Astra Militarum, it was more than just glory. If they won, there were also huge rewards and Elizabeth was not stingy about this.

[ ===== ]

"Here it comes." Sebastian was paying attention to the passage of the planet.

With a slight ripple, the planet's passage was open. From the inside, a knight came and it was covered in darkness.

Sebastian raised his eyebrows. After taking a good look, he found out that there was a creature riding underneath these invaders. It looked like a horse, but on closer inspection, it was not a horse. It was much taller than a normal horse and it was dark from head to toe. It was like a horse that had been resurrected from the dead.

The knight on horseback was also pitch black as if shrouded in a huge black robe. But after taking a closer look, there was no black robe; instead, it was a black fog. These knights were shrouded in black mist. Their head was even more bizarre, as there was a little bit of a small but extremely bright fire.

"What the heck is this..." Sebastian raised his eyebrows as he didn't recognize it the first glance.

There was no way around that, as since the beginning of time, there were a lot of unknown civilizations, and there were all kinds of Supernatural creatures. It was also impossible to remember everything in books.

Like a powerful planet master, after going to the planets by himself to perform missions, it was possible to learn more about Supernatural species, but these candidates naturally did not have this knowledge.

In addition, this was an exam, so the creator of the question couldn't create Supernatural species that were commonly seen. For example, Martial Artists, Card Mage, Magicians, Golems, and so on.

It was not just Sebastian; this time, even many teachers and planet masters were not able to recognize it. Of course, it was not the same for the more powerful Major Powers.

"Undead Knight? For the second wave, they went with this?"

"Interesting; if placed in previous years, it is bound to be something that will appear only at the later wave, but this year it came at the second wave?"

"This is much harder to deal with than the first wave."

"Looks like if some geniuses don't pay attention, they might fall here."

In the Mayor's Hall, the powerful planet masters were discussing with looks of anticipation on their faces. What they wanted to see the most was not a showdown between the great geniuses; instead, it was all kinds of thrills. Many people enjoyed the elimination of Brian in the first wave.

[ ===== ]

"Undead Knight-!" In the conference room of Oakleaf School, Merlin saw these strange knights who were covered in black mist, and his face could not help but become more solemn, "These Supernatural creatures are called Undead Knights."

Next to him, Nelissen couldn't help but ask: "It should be an intermediate civilization race if I remember correctly, right?"

"That's right; it's an intermediate civilization race." Merlin nodded and said, "And it's an extremely powerful one among the intermediate civilizations at that. But in terms of strength, the Undead Knight is not at the top of the intermediate civilization."

Steiner answered, "The characteristics of the Undead Knight are very odd. If you are familiar with it, it is not so difficult to deal with; but in this examination, there's not that much time to get familiarized. With a single slip-up, the table would flip over. It's much more alarming than the horde of zombies in the first wave."

"In my opinion..." Steiner paused, smiled, and said, "I am afraid that many core players will be eliminated in this stage."

"It is indeed difficult." Nelissen's face was also solemn, and she said, "If it were in previous years, this must have been the later wave."

[ ===== ]

Sebastian exhaled gently and looked at these knights who were covered in black, but he still didn't intervene. Unless as a last resort, Sebastian was not going down. What's more, he didn't seem to be of any use either.

[ ===== ]

In front of the passage, the number of these Undead Knights was increasing. Finally, they formed a mass, but they were not like a horde of zombies acting on instinct. When seeing the side of the Astra Militarum, behind the tall city walls, there was no attack; instead, they temporarily stopped in place. Subsequently, they assembled into a formation.

Seeing this, Cross frowned slightly. Those messy Supernatural beings, even if they were more powerful, Cross wouldn't take it to heart, but seeing them organized and disciplined made Cross more concerned.

"Everyone, pay attention. Half of you will shoot the knights; while the other half shoot the creature under the knights," Ewart commanded.

It was also a foolproof strategy before not knowing exactly what kind of creature the other side was, they attacked these knights from all directions to test out what exactly was their weaknesses. Whether it was the knights above or the creature that looked like a horse below, with a round of attack, they would be able to know.

At this time, after a quick observation, the first report of the Supernatural Research Team was also out.

"These Supernatural creatures are very similar to the dead, and they are most similar to the zombies we encountered in the previous attack. Let's call them Undead Knights and Undead Horses first."

A Scientist reported loudly, "Attention, please. These Undead Knights have weapons in their hands and it's a long sword."

Hearing this, Cross and the others all looked over. Sure enough, they discovered that in the right hand of these dark, creepy knights, there was a pitch-black long sword. Those swords look sharp, the reflections can be seen from the distance.

"Raise your attention and don't be careless." Ewart also said.
