青春期叛逆的骚动

“Then I’ll set my goal on the 30th level.” Mo Xiao said after a moment of consideration.

The Sword Emperor raised an eyebrow, “Reaching the 30th floor on your first attempt at the Heaven-reaching Tower is a rare achievement. Even I, in my initial tower ascent, only reached the 29th level.”

“One has to have dreams in life; what if 1 make it?” Mo Xiao shrugged and flopped onto the bed. “Sword Emperor, 1’11 take a nap; wake me up in a bit.”

Ignoring whether the Sword Emperor agreed or not, Mo Xiao fell asleep.

Only the Sword Emperor’s soul was left floating in place.

Looking at Mo Xiao lying on the bed, the Sword Emperor raised his head and looked into the distance. He said faintly, “The Heaven-reaching Tower… 1 haven’t seen it for hundreds of years. I wonder what it has become…”

Three hours later.

In the teleportation square of Yicheng Base City.

Hundreds of new candidates were gathered in the square.

The chattering was incomparably noisy.

Just before two o’clock, Mo Xiao leisurely entered the square.

Hearing the commotion, Mo Xiao frowned and found a corner to stand in, closed his eyes, and patiently waited for the teleportation array to activate.

Before long, two figures appeared on the teleportation square.

“Quiet!”

Accompanied by Jiang Shan’s voice, the previously bustling square instantly fell silent, and everyone’s gaze turned toward Jiang Shan.

When Mo Xiao heard this, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Shan before closing them again.

After all, in this situation, it was obvious that the City Lord or Deputy City Lord was about to speak.

Mo Xiao had no interest in such content at all. He might as well take a nap.

Next to the teleportation array, Jiang Shan frowned as he surveyed the area. After seeing Mo Xiao resting with his eyes closed, he let out a sigh of relief and said, “Hello, fellow students. It has been two months since your last profession transfer!

“I don’t know how far you’ve progressed in your cultivation, but among those I know, some have reached level 30! They’re on the verge of their second profession transfer!

“To those who are overconfident, thinking they’ve secured their success in the exam, I suggest you think twice about whether you can surpass them!”

After half an hour of Jiang Shan’s idle talk, he finally cleared his throat and said, “Alright! 1 won’t waste any more time on nonsense. Teleportation array, activate!”

As Jiang Shan’s words rang out, a blue light appeared beside him, and the teleportation array immediately lit up.

“This is the teleportation array to the capital! The teleportation array can only transport 100 people at a time. Please enter one by one; don’t rush!”

With that, the candidates on the square entered the teleportation array one by one and were sent to the capital.

Mo Xiao followed the last group of people into the teleportation array.

“Mo Xiao, you can do it. Yi City’s reputation is in your hands!” Jiang Shan grinned.

Hearing this, Mo Xiao nodded. “Aren’t you going?”

“This time, Fang Chang will lead the team. I have to stay in Yi City,” Jiang Shan said truthfully.

“Alright, wait for my good news.” Mo Xiao nodded and walked into the crowd.

With a flash of blue light, Mo Xiao disappeared from the teleportation array with the last batch of candidates.

After a few breaths, Mo Xiao slowly opened his eyes.

What greeted his eyes was a huge square that was even grander than Jiangnan Base City.

At this moment, the square was filled with people, and in midair, there were illusory screens.

The screen corresponded to different cities.

On the other hand, Yicheng Base City was the last few cities. Clearly, they were the weakest cities.

As Mo Xiao and the others arrived, the teleportation array that was originally flickering with light slowly extinguished. Clearly, they were the last to arrive.

Just as Mo Xiao was looking around, a loud voice instantly sounded in everyone’s ears.

“Good afternoon, everyone! Welcome to the capital, Yanlong Base City! I’m the city lord here, Chu Feng.”

Following Chu Feng’s voice, a figure appeared out of thin air above the city.

“I know that everyone is here to participate in the college entrance examination, which will take place tomorrow morning at nine. Today, please rest well in Yanlong Base City today.

“I hope you can achieve good results tomorrow!” Chu Feng said in a deep voice.

Dozens of middle-aged men entered the venue one after another and led all the candidates in the square out of the teleportation plaza, heading towards the residential area of the base city.

Looking at the crowd leaving like a tide, Chu Feng slowly landed back on the ground. He looked at the man beside him who was recording something and asked, “How many people have come for the college entrance examination this year?”

“A total of 36 base cities participated. According to the statistics, there are 4,271 people.” The man looked at the information in his hand and answered truthfully.

Chu Feng furrowed his brows when he heard this. “Over 4,000… it’s indeed significantly fewer than last year.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it. This year, the demons attacked the base city, so a sharp decline in the number of people is unavoidable,” the man said helplessly.

“Sigh, that’s true.” Chu Feng sighed helplessly. “How’s the preparation for the examination venues?”

“The Heaven-reaching Tower is almost ready and can be entered at any time. However, the first two exam venues are still under preparation,” the man answered truthfully.

“Why is it taking so long?” Chu Feng frowned in puzzlement.

“There’s no other way. After all, these two venues were added this year, and they require a lot of manpower,” the man said with a wry smile. “But, may I ask, why are you insisting on adding these two exams? The candidates’ abilities can be tested in the Heaven-reaching Tower anyway.”

“Although we can test their abilities, it takes too long. Only 10 people can enter the Heaven-reaching Tower at the same time. If we don’t eliminate some candidates beforehand, each exam would take more than 10 days. It’s too time-consuming. By removing a portion now, it will speed up the process,” Chu Feng explained calmly.

The man fell silent for a moment before asking, “Aren’t you afraid that this way, you might miss out on some talented individuals?”

“If they can’t even pass these two exams, they’d be wasting time in the Heaven-reaching Tower,” Chu Feng said calmly. “Alright, prepare for the entrance exam content quickly; it starts tomorrow.”

“Yes! City Lord!”

“Is this your current main city? It’s huge!” the Sword Emperor marveled as he circled Mo Xiao.

“It is indeed enormous, and this square alone seems as large as half of Yicheng Base City,” Mo Xiao commented. “I wonder why it’s so big.”

“Perhaps in the past, they kept all humans in this one city and only expanded after conquering other territories?” the Sword Emperor speculated.

“Maybe,” Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow. “Anyway, I’m just here to take an

entrance exam. 1 won’t be staying here..”
