The next day, early in the morning.
After a day of selection yesterday, only 270 of the original 4,000 candidates remained in the examination hall. It must be said that yesterday’s examination was extremely difficult.
When Mo Xiao returned to the square once again, he found that the original square had undergone changes.
The examination hall, which was originally divided into a total of 300 small areas, had now become four large sections.
Clearly, the reduction in the number of examinees had prompted adjustments to the size of the examination field.
This also allowed the spectators to see more clearly.
Mo Xiao looked at the few remaining examinees and narrowed his eyes slightly. “It looks like the arena battles are going to start in this round…”
Although Mo Xiao didn’t know the specific details of this assessment, judging from the appearance of the examination field, it seemed like it would involve ivi combat.
However, whether they would be fighting against people or monsters, he couldn’t be sure.
Mo Xiao didn’t have to wait long before Chu Feng once again appeared in the sky above the square.
“Good morning, everyone!” Chu Feng greeted them with a smile. “After a day of competition yesterday, we now have only two hundred and seventy examinees left. I feel regret for those who were eliminated! But the Higher Vocational Academy will analyze your combat performance and give you scores. We will do our best to admit you to the academy. Please don’t be too discouraged!
“Next, we will begin today’s assessment!” Chu Feng continued, looking around. “Yesterday, we tested your survival skills, and in a world like Blue Star, surviving is more important than anything else!
“And today’s assessment is all about real combat! Combat against monsters!”
As he spoke, Chu Feng waved his hand, and a monster’s status panel appeared in front of everyone.

Night’s Disappearance: Can disappear from view for a short time, becoming untargetable and quickly moving to a safer area.
“What?! A level 35 elite monster?!”
As the panel appeared, all the students on the scene were in shock.
Their levels were only in the teens, except for Mo Xiao, who was at level 30. Others were at most around levels 16 or 17, with only Jiang He, who had trained with Mo Xiao for some time, reaching level 20.
Now they were being told to fight a level 35 elite monster?
This was impossible! They might as well quit!
Hearing the cries of despair echoing in the square, Chu Feng hurriedly said, “Quiet, everyone!”
“This is just your opponent; it doesn’t mean you have to kill it. Just defeat it!” Chu Feng emphasized. “Our main goal is assessment! We’re evaluating your combat skills. As long as you meet our requirements, you can pass! In this second round, we will keep one hundred participants!
“So we will arrange many high-level professionals to grade you. The top one hundred students with the highest scores will all pass this assessment! So you don’t have to worry.” Chu Feng continued, “As for your safety, rest assured, there are professionals in the examination field who will watch over you. If anything goes wrong, they will intervene immediately and rescue you. So you have nothing to worry about!”
Hearing Chu Feng’s explanation, the noisy square slowly quieted down.
Satisfied with the situation, Chu Feng nodded, “Good! Since you all know the content of the exam now, I hereby announce the start of the second round of the exam! Please let the first batch of examinees enter the field!”
With Chu Feng’s command, four examinees slowly walked into the examination hall.
At the same time, above their corresponding examination hall, there was a huge screen that broadcasted their battle situation and their identities in real time.
Looking at the four people who had just entered the examination hall, Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. “Yanlong Base City, candidate number one, Chu Tian…”
At the same time, in the spectator stands.
“What? Lord of Fire, what do you mean?” Chu Feng had just returned to the spectator stands and heard Yan Zhantian’s request, leaving him stunned.
“I mean, the two of us want to participate in the grading this time. We rarely come to watch the entrance exams; you should let us have some involvement, right?” Yan Zhantian smiled.
Chu Feng was taken aback by this request. “Well, this… Is it appropriate?”
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it. You can have your people step down. Let the two of us handle the grading for this assessment,” Yao Shi’er smiled. “Or, City Lord Chu, do you doubt our judgment?”
“No, not at all. If the two war gods are willing to grade, it’s a blessing for these examinees!” Chu Feng quickly nodded and said.
“Well then, that’s settled. Leave the grading to the two of us. We also want to see the strength of this year’s candidates,” Yan Zhantian said lightly.
Chu Feng could only agree reluctantly, “Very well. I hope the two seniors will be fair and impartial.”
“Don’t worry, we will be absolutely fair and impartial. After all, we’re not you, right?” Yan Zhantian glanced at Chu Feng meaningfully.
With that statement, Chu Feng chuckled awkwardly and stopped talking. He stood beside the two war gods with his head lowered.
In the examination field, elite monsters had been released, and they were now in battle with the four examinees.
Because the monsters were of the agility type, almost all the examinees were desperately dodging their attacks. Counterattacking was out of the question, and surviving without being instantly killed was a relief.
Only the Number One examinee seemed to be handling the situation with ease, occasionally counterattacking.
Although his damage output was lower than the others, the difference in performance was like night and day.
“Yo, Number One’s performance is not bad, huh?” Yan Zhantian looked at Number One’s performance and sighed with emotion. “Yanlong Base City, Chu Tian… Tsk, Chu Feng, could this be your son?”
“Ahem, replying to Senior Fire God, it’s indeed my son,” Chu Feng said excitedly. He had already heard Yan Zhantian’s praise. According to Yan Zhantian’s statement, his son should have a decent score.
Yan Zhantian nodded slightly.
“Not bad, I’ll reluctantly give him a score of 60!”
