"Gulp!"
No one knew who swallowed, but the sound was clearly audible.
It made the already tense atmosphere even more stifling.
Li Chuxi called the assistant examiner twice before he finally came back to his senses.
"Ah? Oh, I… let me count, let me count."
The assistant examiner nodded in a daze and began counting the pile of trackers on the table.
He never thought that after serving as an examiner so many times, he would actually need to count the trackers.
Usually it was just two or three, maybe four—one glance and you knew how many there were.
Having any at all was already rare; who needed to count them?
Very quickly, the assistant examiner froze again.
Among the pile of bronze-colored trackers, he actually saw silver ones—and even golden ones.
Silver trackers represented intermediate-level beasts.
Golden trackers represented high-level beasts!
Gulp.
The assistant examiner swallowed a mouthful of saliva and loudly announced Li Chuxi and Li Shiji's results:
"Li Chuxi, Li Shiji—killed fifty-nine low-level beasts!"
Boom—
Fifty-nine low-level beasts!
Everyone doubted if they had heard wrong.
It felt as if a giant bell had rung inside their heads—stunned into complete blankness.
If it had been seven or eight, or even a dozen, the surviving trainee warriors might still have gasped in admiration.
But fifty-nine low-level beasts? The gap was astronomical.
It wasn't just "far ahead"—it was beyond reach!
That would take slaughtering like chopping vegetables—there would be no time to rest at all in a full day and night.
If they weren't actively hunting beasts, they were rushing to hunt them—there was simply no time to hide or lay low.
The assistant examiner coughed dryly and continued:
"Two intermediate-level beasts! One high-level beast!!"
BOOM!!!
The scene erupted.
Wu Zimo was dumbfounded and shouted that it was impossible.
Even the always calm and composed President Zhou was stunned.
His aged face revealed a look of disbelief.
A high-level beast!
That was a high-level beast, for heaven's sake!!
This level of shock even surpassed the fifty-nine low-level beasts.
Unimaginable—utterly inconceivable.
They couldn't even begin to describe what they were feeling.
Qian Lin's gaze toward Li Chuxi shimmered with brilliance.
Major Zhang and Mars Hunter Sun Zhenyue looked utterly shocked, like they'd discovered a hidden treasure.
President Zhou was so overwhelmed that the hands holding his cane were trembling.
The assistant examiner took a deep breath and said,
"Your result is… not just the highest in this exam—it's the highest in all past exams!"
Record-breaking!
Wu Zimo lowered his head like a defeated rooster.
Honestly, his result wasn't even worth mentioning.
He only killed five low-level beasts.
Compared to fifty-nine low-level beasts, two intermediate, and one high-level beast, there was no comparison.
Soon, the trainee warriors began casting all sorts of looks at Li Chuxi and Li Shiji.
Some with admiration, some with fear, others with doubt.
According to power classification:
Warriors correspond to low-level beasts.
Martial Masters to intermediate-level beasts.
To kill a high-level beast, you'd at least need to be a Martial Grandmaster!
Even the chief examiner present was only a Martial Grandmaster.
No one believed Li Chuxi and Li Shiji possessed Martial Grandmaster-level strength.
"Ahem… alright, it's getting late. Let's board the vehicle and head back."
President Zhou tapped his cane and addressed the group.
Since a Martial General from Thunder Martial Hall had spoken, naturally no one objected.
Just as everyone was about to pass through the station—
Li Chuxi suddenly sensed something and furrowed her brows.
"Something's approaching…"
Her cells had undergone massive evolution, making her instincts sharper than ever.
Especially when facing life-or-death danger!
"Brother, be careful," she warned.
At the critical moment, she pulled Li Shiji close, wrapping an arm around his shoulder.
Her Aura Control immediately activated, forming an invisible shield of energy around them.
"Big sis…?"
Li Shiji's heart pounded faster.
Crack!
Suddenly, the ground split open.
A massive, jagged dorsal fin, like a giant cleaver or battle-axe, tore through the cracked pavement, charging straight toward the crowd.
"Watch out! Beast attack!!"
Several assistant examiners shouted.
Immediately, the military stationed at the railway sprang into action.
Turrets and machine guns locked onto the ground fissure, firing in a frenzy.
Large-caliber shell casings clattered to the ground with a ding-ding sound.
The grotesque, armored dorsal fin quickly dived back underground to avoid the intense fire.
Next moment—
A huge, terrifying maw full of concentric rings of jagged teeth burst up from below—
It swallowed up the earth and over a dozen trainee warriors in one bite.
Boom!
The massive beast finally revealed half of its true form—
It was a shark—larger than a truck.
Covered head to tail in densely packed, hard keratin scales, wrapped in a faint earthy aura.
"Elite-class beast—Earthshark Dragon!"
Mars Hunter Sun Zhenyue's expression changed.
It was a bizarre and extremely troublesome beast.
Part-dragon, part-shark, it could freely burrow underground. A fully matured one could reach a hundred meters long—a terrifying elite-class predator!
"Elite-class beast?!"
"Why is there an elite-class beast in Beast Town?!"
Chaos immediately broke out.
Most of them were just trainee warriors—in front of an elite-class beast, they were as fragile as ants.
And as if summoned by the Earthshark Dragon, the low-level beasts from Beast Town surged forward in a beast tide.
The military's firepower system went into overdrive!
Turrets activated one after another, locking onto the Earthshark Dragon and the incoming beasts.
"You handle the smaller beast tide in the distance—I'll take the Earthshark Dragon!"
At that moment, an old voice, full of vigor, rang out.
Everyone instantly felt a pillar of support—no more panic.
"Mere beast dares to rampage on human territory? Courting death!"
President Zhou, usually gentle and kindly, now glared with rage, hair and beard bristling.
Fierce true energy flared around him like blazing fire.
Crackle!
Even arcs of blue lightning danced across his entire body.
A powerful current blasted everyone around him back.
Even Martial Grandmasters like Qian Lin couldn't withstand the intense pressure of Zhou's presence.
"That's Thunder Martial Hall's secret technique—Thunderforge Flame Technique!"
Li Chuxi looked on in astonishment.
This was her first time seeing a high-grade martial technique used in battle.
Her first time witnessing a high-level warrior in action!
The martial art surged. True energy roared. Wind and thunder raged.
Utterly overwhelming.
