"Only first-rank Ferocious Beasts?"
Feng Yun noticed almost all were first-rank.
This was normal; few students had reached junior preparatory Warrior.
Even those who had wouldn't likely defeat second-rank Ferocious Beasts.
Most were rookies untested by fire and blood. Good physique and Martial Technique didn't guarantee kills.
Some lost 90% of their strength when seeing blood or facing danger—it was normal.
Even boastful Bai Tianchen was muted before these beasts, no longer showing off.
Only Feng Yun remained calm.
Zhou Kunlong stood in his office, watching the students below through giant windows, shaking his head.
"This batch isn't good. Not a single one can fight."
"They grew up in the base without ever encountering Ferocious Beasts. It's normal."
The Principal approached with tea, smiling.
Zhou Kunlong said nothing but glanced at Feng Yun's calm face, nodding slightly.
"Hm, finally a decent kid."
Before the Principal could ask more, Zhou Kunlong left.
"Get ready. The assessment begins."
"Everyone!"
A clear voice rang out.
Zhou Kunlong stood on the stage and announced:
"You all seem ready. The assessment officially begins."
"Remember, if you can't continue, ask your nearby instructor for help. But once you do, you lose eligibility."
Whoosh!
After speaking, Zhou Kunlong vanished from the stage, appearing atop the teaching building.
"Is that the second-rank Martial Technique Cun You Step?"
Feng Yun's eyes flickered.
He had seen this online; a movement technique selling for about 40,000 yuan.
He couldn't afford it now but could get it from Zhou Kunlong's Projection without much training.
"Students, move out! Head to the underground beast arena!"
Hundreds of students moved in unison, flooding into the school's basement.
Feng Yun discovered this hidden area for the first time.
It was vast, with high walls and multiple zones.
Each zone held one Ferocious Beast.
"Close the gates!"
With a loud rumble, the assessment officially began!
Inside the enclosed arena, hundreds of students spread out, picking Ferocious Beasts—mostly in teams, as none felt confident facing the fierce beasts alone.
So Feng Yun walking alone naturally drew attention.
"Who's that guy? Alone at this time?"
"Showing off at the wrong time."
"Forget him, let's figure out how to fight the Ferocious Beasts..."
Whispers floated everywhere, but Feng Yun ignored them.
"That guy..."
Bai Tianchen eyed Feng Yun. He knew the loner well.
"Show off, or real skill?"
He guessed show off, knowing Feng Yun's family background from classmates.
Then he focused on the beast before him, ignoring Feng Yun.
Feng Yun went directly to Zone 1.
The Ferocious Beast here was the Ironfur Boar—the strongest among the hundred first-rank beasts, halfway to second-rank.
He planned to test his combat experience on this Ironfur Boar.
A young instructor waited there, raising an eyebrow at Feng Yun alone.
"Just you?"
Feng Yun nodded.
"Brave kid."
The instructor shook his head but said nothing else.
He pointed to nearby protective gear and weapons.
"Wear these. If things go south, call for help."
He clearly thought Feng Yun was just showing off.
Feng Yun grabbed a tempered steel sword, examined it, nodded approvingly, and entered the arena.
"Hey, you forgot your protective suit!"
"No need, it'll be over soon."
"Over soon?"
The instructor's expression flickered.
Suddenly, the sound of a sword rang out.
The instructor looked up, mouth agape at the incredible sight:
The handsome youth had, with an unbelievable angle, pierced the Ironfur Boar's throat with one sword strike.
With a miserable howl, the massive boar collapsed in dust, dead beyond doubt.
"Good sword."
Feng Yun flicked blood off the blade, returned it, and walked away.
The entire process took less than five minutes.
"Your name?"
"Feng Yun."
The instructor's gaze was dazed. Looking at the boar's corpse and Feng Yun's quick strike, he sensed a mastery forged through countless trials.
Killing Ferocious Beasts seemed as easy as eating or drinking to Feng Yun.
"Feng Yun... Hailan Martial Arts Academy has a remarkable student this year."
The instructor sighed and wrote Feng Yun's name on the results list, giving him an SSS rating—the highest possible.
