Gao Wu: I grow stronger with each death.

Chapter 73 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere inside the car fell silent.

The purpose of this extremely cruel mechanism is no longer the focus of everyone's interest.

"You have to survive."

Everyone couldn't help but think this to themselves.

Except for one guy who looked extremely excited.

"Hey big guy, can you sit up straight? Don't put your armpits in my face, okay? Doesn't it feel uncomfortable?"

Wang Sheng was initially quite comfortable sitting slumped over, but when he turned his head and saw the mountain-like body beside him, he couldn't help but feel oppressed.

Moreover, it was summer, and Ning Ruoyin was wearing a sleeveless top, making the scene even more awkward.

It's only because this guy has no body hair that Wang Sheng would have plucked it all out, making it impossible for you to sit properly.

"Ha, the more uncomfortable you are, the more comfortable I feel. I'm going to do it this way anyway."

As she spoke, she leaned her shoulder forward, her armpit pressed against Wang Sheng's ear.

This time, Wang Sheng had no temper. He didn't say anything, closed his eyes, and smelled the faint floral fragrance that seemed to come from nowhere. He felt quite peaceful and fell asleep.

Liu Yingwan, meanwhile, would occasionally glance resentfully behind her, her little mouth puffed out.

After a brief silence, the car was quiet for a while.

Zhuang Bei, being a talkative person, quickly became restless, his mouth chattering on and on like a machine gun.

The conversation mainly revolved around exams and gossip about school.

For example, Qingjiang City only has seven prodigies because most local aristocratic families have changed their children's school registration to Xinghai, which creates the illusion of a talent gap.

In fact, it's not unusual for a normal city to produce more than ten outstanding talents.

For example, Xinghai City is a true gathering place for geniuses; half of the candidates in this exam came from Xinghai.

Then there's the local customs and culture of Beixing City, where the exam venue is located, and so on.

The others were fine; the content was novel to the children, and they listened attentively.

But Wang Sheng wasn't interested; he was already drowsy.

In order to complete the "Primordial Wilderness Scripture" before the exam, he stayed up all night last night. Now that he has relaxed a little, all that is left is sleepiness.

Slowly, Wang Sheng lost consciousness and his head tilted to one side.

I must say, the pillow under my head was big and soft, and I slept quite comfortably.

at the same time.

Ning Ruoyin looked down at Wang Sheng with a curious expression.

Her big, watery eyes blinked as if she were observing a small animal she had never seen before.

At the same time.

A resentful gaze was cast upon us from ahead once again.

......

The journey took more than eight hours. When Wang Sheng woke up refreshed, he heard Zhuang Yan speak:

"We're almost there, get ready to get off the bus."

"Very good!"

Some people cheered.

It was already evening, and everyone had been traveling all day. Even sitting in the luxurious carriage, they couldn't help but feel tired and bored.

Except for Wang Sheng, he slept very soundly.

"I dreamt that I fell into a castle made of cotton candy. The cotton candy was soft and quite delicious."

He smacked his lips to savor the taste, but unfortunately, it wasn't sweet.

Soon, the vehicle entered the city and arrived at an extremely wide highway.

The atmosphere inside the carriage gradually shifted from cheerful to somber.

No one is immune to nervousness when exams are approaching.

At this moment, Wang Sheng looked out the window and saw that the road was deserted at night, and the surrounding area was almost entirely composed of things that resembled military fortresses.

Just as I was wondering, Ning Ruoyin spoke up:

"Little one, you slept like a log all day, missed a lot of chats, so you probably don't know where you are or what this is for, right?"

Her tone carried a hint of smugness.

No, you want to compare this too?

Wang Sheng realized that ever since he beat Ning Ruoyin up last time, she had been trying to compete with him in everything and doing the opposite of him in everything.

Then just go along with her.

"I don't know, can you tell me?"

"Hehe, I won't tell!"

"..."

Liu Yingwan turned her head and spoke:

"This used to be the center of Beixing City. Twenty years ago, after the rift appeared out of nowhere, everyone moved away. Now it has become a battlefield and military base surrounded by the city."

As she spoke, she pointed forward:

"Wang Sheng, look, that's the crack."

Right in front of the vehicle, there was a huge, dark hole in the middle.

Because it was getting late, it was really hard to see at first glance.

"Wow...it's so big."

Wang Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

Unlike the narrow crevice in Lushui County that only allows one person to pass at a time.

This narrow crevice stretches for hundreds of meters and is over forty meters high, enough to allow thousands of martial artists to enter at the same time.

Wang Sheng quickly connected this to another fact:

"Conversely, this means that once the battlefield gets out of control, the creatures inside will also surge out rapidly and in large numbers within a short period of time."

At that time, the first to be affected will be the citizens of Beixing!

In this light, living in Qingjiang City is actually a fortunate thing, although the educational resources are backward, the risks are also small.

Thinking this, the vehicle soon arrived at the square.

As the group got off the bus, people dressed in martial arts association uniforms came to meet them. After confirming the information of each examinee, they allowed everyone to enter the square.

At this point, all candidates are in place.

At this moment.

Wang Sheng could clearly sense that every student standing there was full of energy and made no attempt to hide their sharpness.

They are all strong!

The confident and spirited demeanor of these young men is truly a rare sight in Qingjiang City.

"These people... are all very good."

After all, they are one in ten thousand, the elite among two million junior high school students.

Meanwhile, Wang Sheng was observing them.

These seven people from Qingjiang City quickly attracted the attention of many other candidates.

"So few people came to Qingjiang City? It seems the education and training here isn't very good."

"Qingjiang? Is there such a city in our province? This is the first time I've heard of it."

"Wow, that girl is so tall! Won't she have a hard time getting married?"

"What kind of weird focus are you getting?!"

Many people were gossiping and commenting on the seven people from Qingjiang City.

After all, no matter how talented they are, they are still underage students. In terms of snobbery and gossip, they are no different from others.

Wang Sheng couldn't help but lose interest.

So-called geniuses seem to be just peers with slightly higher levels of skill.

Ning Ruoyin beside him is a perfect example. Does she have even a hint of being a prodigy?

Thinking about this, I no longer felt that these people were anything special.

But the truly formidable ones...

Wang Sheng silently began to circulate the "Primordial Wilderness Scripture".

His blood and qi sank slightly, as if something ancient and rough had opened its eyes.

The next moment, a wisp of energy mixed with spiritual power silently spread across the plaza.

whoosh-

At the same time, students from three directions in the square all looked in Wang Sheng's direction.

Even the examiners in the square were slightly surprised as they glanced at Wang Sheng, who was radiating this subtle energy.

"1, 2, 3... The martial arts will of three people has actually begun to condense into the rudiments of divine will."

Wang Sheng whispered.

Although he didn't look at the three people, he silently memorized their presence.

"As expected, this place is full of hidden talents."
