Those cities rated more highly had a higher number of candidates. In the entire State, there were hundreds of millions of candidates.

After coming in through different channels, all candidates came to this square. In the position where Sebastian came in, the surrounding area was also mostly Oakleaf School students.

"Sebastian." A somewhat familiar voice sounded behind him.

Sebastian turned his head to look and discovered a familiar person. They had met a few times at the Grand Competition, Aodh Francis.

"Why are you here?" Sebastian asked curiously.

"The location of my house is closest to your school." Francis smiled faintly and explained, "According to the rules, each candidate can choose any passage within the city to come in. There is no provision for the candidates of which school has to pass through which school passage."

"Oh." Sebastian nodded gently. Usually, he didn't bother to pay attention to these provisions.

"Sebastian, your goal should be in the top 10,000," Francis asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Sebastian nodded his head and asked, "What about you?"

"I..." Francis laughed at herself and said, "I feel good about myself, but this time for the examination, I just found out how many geniuses there are in the whole State. I am also just one of the insignificant ones, so I'll strive for the top 100,000 this time. I'm working hard to get into a good institute."

Sebastian smiled but didn't say anything.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion nearby. Sebastian and Francis turned their heads to look and discovered Lucy in the square. She immediately attracted the attention of the people around her, followed by a series of discussions.

"She's Lucy."

"That's right, the super genius who made it to the Genius list in our school."

"As you should all know, Lucy was still at the end of the list in the first edition. But in this edition... she jumped up by more than 5,000 and was ranked more than 4,000..."

"Really? I knew that Lucy was ranked very high, why... in less than two months, she has risen so fast."

"Lucy awakened with dual-energy, created a civilization of dual supernatural species, and… it is also a perfect match of Magicians and Combat Energy Warriors."

"I heard from our teacher that this dual-energy civilization is average at the beginning, but... it has great potential, and the more you rise, the more threatening it is."

"Just look at Lucy's ranking. The main reason for her rapid rise is her dual-energy civilization."

"Haha, it's amazing that our school can also produce a top-ranked genius."

"Isn't there Sebastian? He is the champion of the previous Grand Competition, the one who defeated Bailey!"

"Sebastian? Unfortunately, he is now ranked at the bottom of the list, and this time the entrance exam will probably not even make it to the top 10,000."

Francis, who was not far away, listened with some embarrassment.

Smiling, he said, "In the college entrance exam, there are hidden people, so anything can happen. Many geniuses usually don't show their faces, and only when the exam is over do they shock the world."

"Huh?" Suddenly Francis frowned and looked over in a direction to the left.

Sebastian also glanced slightly and saw a figure that appeared on the left side of the square. She was tall, with a cold face, and she was dressed in white as snow.

"Bailey."

"It's Bailey-!"

"Bailey is here-!"

Compared with Lucy, Bailey's reputation was far greater. More people knew her, as she just showed up and attracted a crowd of many students.

Sebastian blinked and asked, "This Bailey's home... is also relatively close to the school."

"Maybe." Francis was a little speechless. What are they concerned about?

Bailey glanced toward the surroundings. Her eyes rested gently on Sebastian for a moment, then turned away.

"Sebastian, did you know?" Francis asked, "Why did Bailey's ranking suddenly rise so much? You could say it's very excessive. From more than 2,000 to the top 100, this was almost unthinkable."

"I don't know." Sebastian shook his head. It wasn't like Bailey was his rival.

"I heard it from an inside source." Francis lowered his voice and said, "Bailey's teacher is a Level 5 planet master, her strength is not weaker than our Mayor. For this examination, her teacher is out for blood. Not only did she teach the training herself, but she also gave Bailey a Heart of the Stars."

"Heart of the Stars?" Sebastian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

"There should be no mistake." Francis said, "I was astounded when I heard it. That is the Heart of the Stars. Bailey's teacher values her as her disciple, it's no wonder that Bailey's ranking was so high. In this year's examination, everyone is crazy."

Francis sighed with emotion.

Sebastian was also somewhat stunned. Even an ignorant student like him also knew the name of Heart of the Stars. If the 10x amplification card Sebastian got before was considered an extremely valuable treasure, it would attract the interest of some powerful planet owners.

Heart of the Stars was bound to be scrambled by various powerful planet masters. Its value was far more than a 10x amplification card. It could be said that for a low-level planet, it was the most valuable resource.

The Heart of the Stars comes from the planets created by planet masters of level 5 or above, condensed after the extinction of life. It contains the entire essence of a planet of at least level 5 and it possesses a variety of abilities. For even intermediate to advanced planets, it was also applicable.

For Level 1 planets, its greatest function was that a whole new supernatural race could be created. In general, just after awakening the planet, it was the use of supernatural energy to catalyze the creation of supernatural species, but what specifically was the supernatural species, one couldn't decide for themselves. With the Heart of the Stars, one could specify the supernatural species they wanted and thus create it.

Most of the first-level planets only had one or two supernatural species. For example, Lucy's magic civilization had two supernatural species.

Bailey from before had the Blessed Order Clan and the Dryad, but as the Dryad were complements of the Blessed, there was no complete species system of its own. So it could only count as one and a half. If one more kind was added, the strength would be greatly improved.

"There are other items that can breed new supernatural species as well, but..." Francis lamented, "All of them are not as good as the Heart of the Star because a Level 1 planet, itself, has limited resources. Using other items to create new species will squeeze the potential of the planet, it is equivalent to exhaustion. No genius would do that but Heart of the Stars is different. A new species created using the Heart of the Star will have no flaws and will not cause damage to the planet's potential or ecology. But things like the Heart of the Stars are hard to come by, this is a treasure that has an important role even for a Level 5 Planet Master."

Francis shook his head, looked at Bailey not far away, and sighed, "Used on a Level 1 planet, it's simply cheating. The teachers at our school say that this time in the ranking of the Genius List, it's just that Bailey is tentatively ranked in the top 100. Her true strength is bound to be higher, even if it may impact the top 50, or the top 30. Sebastian, your luck is not good."

Francis patted Sebastian's shoulder and said, "If it was in previous years, you would be our top student."

Sebastian just smiled.

Time passed little by little. Finally, after about an hour had passed, a voice rang out above the square. The voice was not loud, but it was audible in the ears of every candidate.

"There are ten minutes left before the examination, please get ready, after one minute, you will be transported to your respective examination positions."

Immediately, the square fell silent. Everyone stopped talking as they were quietly waiting for the exam to begin.

"Finally, it's about to start." Sebastian was also ready.

Exactly at nine o'clock, the examination officially began.
