Everything around her started to change at a rapid speed. Ye Jiao quickly readied her stance again, but she was surprised to see the lustrous green around her. She had arrived in a grassland, or more correctly, a flat prairie with a high wall not far in front of her. There was nothing around her but grass and an extremely annoying man who was looking at her with interest.

"Zhe- Qin Zheng, what are you looking at?" Ye Jiao asked coldly.

Qin Zheng laughed when he heard her get angry the moment she saw him. Truthfully, he was not expecting her to appear as the first person because he had seen how each of them was held back by the five beasts. Everyone has to fight five beasts with the power of the beast corresponding with their current stage.

If one was Eon Energy Master Rank 3 early stage, the beasts would be those who had just reached rank 3 plus one that has consolidated its strength.

If one was Eon Energy Master Rank 3 middle stage, the beast would be those who had consolidated its strength and one that had already mastered the attacks.

And so on.

Even though the power of the beasts differed greatly, the time taken for each person would all solely depend on their skill. It was truly a test designed to see their full capabilities.

"I'm surprised that you're here."

"I'm more surprised that you didn't die yet," Ye Jiao spat out coldly. The way he looked at her was filled with disbelief. She felt annoyed thinking that he thought she wouldn't be able to reach this place.

"Anyway, how's your arm?" Qin Zheng had naturally noticed that Ye Jiao got herself wounded because of the battle.

Ye Jiao moved her right arm a bit. "It's not that bad."

"Really, do you need…?"

"Please don't try to extort me again. I don't have anything that can possibly pique your interest anymore."

"Why do you speak as if I'm taking advantage of you?"

"That's the truth."

Qin Zheng pursed his lips slightly. "Let's wait for more people before I announced to you that you have passed the examination."

Passed the…?

Ye Jiao's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Qin Zheng with incredulity. Did he just tell her that she had passed the examination? Did it mean she was qualified to enter the academy now?

"Why are you the one who looks at me with disbelief now?"

"That's it? Eh, I mean, the test is just that long road to this place?" Ye Jiao tilted her head with confusion.

Qin Zheng rolled his eyes. "What do you think the test would be? Because you're the first one to arrive, it's only natural that you can be accepted in any academies. At the very least, your position shouldn't be any lower than Inner Disciple."

"If you think that it's strange, you'll naturally know that the Xian Gu Kingdom is treating geniuses very well," Qin Zheng added after seeing Ye Jiao's expression. "As for the reason why you can get accepted as Inner Disciple right away, it's only natural because you're the first one to arrive."

"Is there any special reward?"

"The first 100 people to arrive in this place will be able to attend the next part of the examination. The rest of the people can still apply to the academy they wanted to, but some academies might test them again."

"So, this is like a preliminary?"

"Yes."

Looking at her back, Ye Jiao got the feeling that this test was only to know their base capabilities and whether they would be allowed to attend the academy or not. If they can't pass, they have to say goodbye to their dream. The real test should be the one after this.

"You don't seem too bad, either. Though, I would like to have you not pass the examination."

"…"

"if you didn't pass, I can just offer you to enter our academy. That way, you won't have any reason to say no," Qin Zheng grinned.

Ye Jiao glared at the smiling man not far from her. "You're annoying, Qin Zheng."

"Call me Senior."

"No."

Before Qin Zheng could continue his words, two more youngsters had arrived by the peak. Soon afterwards, several more other youngsters came. They were mostly wounded and didn't have any Eon Energy left in their body. The last battle that they experienced had drained them completely.

Ye Jiao started to focus her attention on recovering her Eon Energy. She felt glad that these people began to arrive, or she might have the urge to challenge Qin Zheng right here, right now. He was so annoying.

Even though so, she knew that he valued her skill from the way he spoke.

"Congratulations on making it this far. You all have passed the first part of the examination. The first 100 people who arrived at the peak will have the chance to enter the second part of the examination. You may enter the city behind me to rest and take a look at the other academies who have set up their stalls for the introduction.

You may choose to not attend the next part of the examination and select any academy that you find interesting. However, bear in mind that you can only become an Inner Disciple at most if you choose big academies. As for those who arrive after these 100 people, they will have to choose among those academies.

And there's a high possibility that they'll be tested once again."

The additional 'and' at the end of Qin Zheng's sentence caused the geniuses to nearly curse out. They knew that this young man must have hidden something based on the way he didn't tell them at the very beginning. Right now, they sincerely wished that this young man was not an Elite Disciple because they also wanted to kill him.

Many of their friends might not make it to the top 100 because they were slow.

"The next examination starts tomorrow morning, so make sure that you had gathered outside the gate before it was 9 AM. I won't be guiding you, so you can be rest assured that the elders will surely give you a complete explanation," Qin Zheng smiled and turned around.

Right now, all of them only have one thought inside their mind:

'He's truly an annoying man!'
