Capítulo 31: Heading to the Horse Plains
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After a night's rest, Lu Huai's mind was already back to its peak state.
Last night, the cooldown for Big Black's time treasure hunt had refreshed.
He thought that Big Black would go around to look for treasure in the dormitory, but Big Black instead rubbed its head on his storage ring and barked anxiously.
Lu Huai sent Big Black into his storage ring in confusion.
He then saw Big Black disappear into the storage ring, leaving behind a rune.
Before it left, it had even left a note of disdain.
[Ding! Silly Doggy is disdainfully reminding you should remember to observe it more!]
...
The entrance examination was administered uniformly to all the students who had entered the academy this time.
When Lu Huai arrived at the central square of the college that Liu Changqing had mentioned, there were already some people gathered there.
There were about thirty people.
There were not many of them, but all of them had proud looks on their faces.
A flying shuttle was parked in the middle of the square. Two teachers, one man and one woman, stood right in front of the shuttle.
The female teacher cleared her throat, and the crowd quieted down. "Greetings, students who have just arrived at the heavenly Divine Academy!"
"I'm one of the teachers in charge of supervising the test this time. You can call me Teacher Lan Yue."
"I'm Mo Feng."
Lan Yue looked around at the crowd and took in all the proud expressions on their faces.
"I know that you are all geniuses from your respective districts, but I want you all to understand something very important."
"The Heavenly Divine Academy has never lacked geniuses!"
"If you slack off, you'll either have to repeat a year or be expelled from the Heavenly Divine Academy!"
However, these words did not cause the students to feel any sense of urgency. Everyone wore expressions on their faces that made it seem as if such a thing had nothing to do with them.
Lan Yue laughed coldly in her heart.
She knew that these students thought that the entrance examination was very simple.
But what they did not know was that the examination was actually extremely brutal as there had always been a lot of demonic beasts in the Horse Plains.
There were even demonic master and demon general-level demon beasts. If they were careless, they might just die on the spot.
The Heavenly Divine Academy's entrance examination was this cruel!
If these geniuses were not made to suffer a little, they would not know how terrifying the demonic beasts truly were.
"In a short while, you will be undergoing a three-day entrance examination."
"Every student must kill twenty demonic apprentices, ten demonic warriors, or three demonic masters!"
"If you're confident, you may choose to kill a demonic general, and that would be enough to let you pass the test!"
After hearing this, the entire central square erupted with discussions.
They all complained that the test was too difficult. They felt as if the Heavenly Divine Academy did not want them to enter the academy.
Lan Yue spoke again. "It's mandatory for you to form a group of three. After boarding the flying shuttle, you can find your own team members."
"You must form your teams before we reach the Horse Plains."
"The academy permits you to snatch from others. As long as you have enough demonic beast blood essence in your hands, you can pass the test!"
"Each demonic beast can only produce one tube of blood essence! It's located at their heart!"
As soon as these words came out, an even larger uproar was set off.
Lu Huai, on the other hand, listened with interest.
He had not expected the entrance examination of the Heavenly Divine Academy to be so brutal. First, it trained the students' fighting ability, and second, it trained their ability to cooperate.
And thirdly, it stimulated the students' competitiveness.
All in all, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
"Alright, come and collect your items and backpacks one by one!"
The students gathered around noisily. Lu Huai did not go up and squeeze with them. He only went up to collect his things after most of the students had dispersed.
There were three rows of test tubes.
There were ten test tubes in each row, making up a total of thirty tubes.
Lu Huai touched his bag.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to exchange his military merits for some supplies in advance. Otherwise, he really did not know how he would be collecting the blood.
"After you're done receiving your things, all students, please board the flying shuttle. We will immediately set off for the Horse Plains!"
The flying shuttle, just as its name suggested, was a shuttle-like vehicle. It was very spacious inside the shuttle.
Additionally, there was a huge platform at the top of the shuttle for sightseeing.
After entering the flying shuttle, Lu Huai found a random seat and sat down, planning to close his eyes and rest.
As for forming a team?
It was not that Lu Huai was looking down on the others, but they were probably all rookies who had just awakened and had no combat experience.
Forming a team with them would only drag him down and slow him down.
Moreover, Lu Huai was unfamiliar with the people present, so he might as well just not make a team.
However, just because Lu Huai did not want to team up with others did not mean that no one wanted to team up with him.
A fellow student came to him not long after he sat down.
"Lu Huai."
Lu Huai opened his eyes and saw that it was Lin Xiaomeng.
She was also a new student of the Heavenly Divine Academy, so she naturally had to participate in this entrance examination.
Lin Xiaomeng had a nervous expression on her face. She did not know why she was like this whenever she faced Lu Huai.
"Student Lu Huai, do you need a team?"
Lin Xiaomeng looked at Lu Huai expectantly. "The academy is forcing us to form a team. I see that Student Lu Huai has not taken any action in this regard yet. You are probably still alone, right? "
"Can I be on the same team as you?"
"Don't worry, Lu Huai. I'm an S-grade genius. I won't drag you down."
Lin Xiaomeng could not be blamed for saying so much.
As someone who had been paying attention to the battle of the beast tide on the railcar, she naturally knew that Lu Huai was especially powerful.
If it was not for the academy forcing them to form teams, Lu Huai would definitely choose to be alone.
After saying that, Lin Xiaomeng looked at Lu Huai expectantly, afraid that Lu Huai would not agree.
"Alright," he said.
Lin Xiaomeng did not expect that Lu Huai would agree so readily.
Lin Xiaomeng did not know how to react.
In fact, there was a reason as to why Lu Huai had agreed so quickly.
The first reason was that the academy had made it a compulsory arrangement, and he did not want special treatment in this regard.
As for the second reason, it did not really matter to him who he formed a team with. Besides, he did not dislike Lin Xiaomeng.
"That's great!"
Lin Xiaomeng, who finally regained her senses, said happily, "I hope that we can work well together in the exam."
Lu Huai nodded.
Soon, another student came to him, but Lu Huai did not recognize the other party.
"Hello, do you still need a teammate?" The other party was a boy who looked very weak.
"I'm Wei Anbo, an S-grade genius."
Lu Huai raised his head and took a look. Lin Xiaomeng also looked at Lu Huai, waiting for him to speak.
Is she showing her respect to me?
Lu Huai shook his head, then said, "Al..."
"Boss! Boss!"
A loud voice could suddenly be heard.
"I've finally found you. I saw you from far away just now, but you disappeared in the blink of an eye!"
It was Liao An, the guy who was always jumping around.
"Boss, let's form a team!"
Liao An knew that Lu Huai was very strong, so he had the idea of sucking up to him.
If he followed Lu Huai, wouldn't he be able to pass the test easily?
Lu Huai and Lin Xiaomeng both frowned.
Liao An did not give the two of them a good impression, and he was a little impatient. If he were to be their teammate, it might be a little troublesome.
"I'm sorry, but I've already agreed to this student's request."
Lu Huai raised his hand and pointed at Wei Anbo.
Liao An was stunned and looked at Wei Anbo unhappily. "What are you even doing here? You're taking this exam when you've got a support-type talent? Don't you feel embarrassed?"
Wei Anbo's head gradually lowered.
"Alright, stop." Lin Xiaomeng frowned. "Our team is already full. You can just go and find another team."
"Hmph! It's no big deal if we're not on the same team."
Liao An mumbled as he turned around to look for another team.
After some chatting, Lu Huai and Lin Xiaomeng found out that Wei Anbo's talent had to do with sound waves, but it was only a scouting talent. Because he did not really have any combat ability, nobody wanted to be on a team with him.
He had come to Lu Huai's place to try and ask, not expecting Lu Huai to agree. As such, he was very happy to find out that he had finally gotten a team.
