At this critical moment, the other examinees were still worrying about obtaining one metal token.
Jeremy Norton had already started to think about getting two of them!
He was obviously very arrogant!
“If you take a metal token that you shouldn’t take, you’ll be punished with fifty strokes of the cane and disqualified from the assessment!”
Jeremy rolled his eyes.
He was the student of the black-robed Prime Minister Barrett Yearwood. Although he was only nineteen, he was a marquis level martial artist!
In the entire examination hall, he was an existence that no one could afford to offend.
At this moment, the assessment had already begun.
More than 1,600 candidates were led by the Central Plains main team members into the dense forest.
The rules of the assessment were rather loose.
Previously, Sammy Dudley had mentioned the rules of the assessment.
That was, they were not allowed to kill the other examinees with malicious intent. Otherwise, they would be disqualified from the assessment and sent to the Central Plains main team for severe punishment.
Just this one rule!
This meant that no matter what you did in the forest, as long as you did not kill anyone, it would not be considered a violation.
Braydon Neal sat on the high platform and said softly with his eyes closed, “Is this how the martial arts examinations have been held over the years?” “Yes, only the last day of the martial arts examination is dangerous!”
Bentley Johnson explained.
“I’ve already informed my brothers in the group. If Ginny is in danger, they will intervene,” Sammy said in a low voice.
Braydon gently raised his hand, signaling Sammy not to forcefully interfere.
Sammy was stunned.
He was a little puzzled. Why was the commander so at ease? Was he not worried that something might happen to Ginny Neal?
Hatcher Murphy was standing behind him, secretly tugging at Sammy’s shirt, telling him not to speak too much.
Sammy turned around and looked at him, wanting to get some hints.
Hatcher’s lips moved slightly as he mouthed, “Elder Zito!”
There was no sound when he mouthed the two words.
Sammy was not stupid. He immediately understood and looked around. He realized that Old Man Zito, this old fox, was indeed gone!
Instantly, Sammy’s face darkened.
No wonder the commander did not want him to meddle. Old Man Zito was a ninth-level king who was about to become a half-step pinnacle martial artist, and he was personally protecting Ginny in secret.
Who could hurt the little girl?
Sammy’s mouth twitched slightly. He could not help but secretly glance at the commander who was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.
It seemed that he did not intend to interfere with the assessment process.
At this moment, all the family members of the examinees in the venue took out their phones.
Everyone in the examination hall received a text message. It was sent by the Central Plains main team. The signal only covered to this area, and a regional network was established.
There was a link to a website in the text message. If one clicked on it, they would be able to see every move of all the examinees through the live broadcast.
There were tens of thousands of pinhole cameras installed in the entire forest.
The Central Plains main team had even activated the image satellite, allowing them to accurately capture the patterns of a green leaf in the dense forest.
This was modern technology!
Ordinary people could enjoy the fruits of modern technology, and so could martial artists.
On the contrary, the ancient martial arts techniques cultivated by martial artists could only be enjoyed by martial artists. Ordinary people could not even come into contact with this level.
This was the result of unequal information.
Hatcher took out his laptop and connected it to the regional network. The screen changed over a hundred times before he finally found Heather Sage and Ginny.
The two girls, one big and one small, looked very curious as they entered the forest.
In the end, there was a loud roar.
This was a wolf howl!
Ginny immediately grabbed Heather’s hand and said timidly, “Sister Heather, I’m scared!”
“Why are there wolves during the day!”
Heather calmed herself down and held Ginny’s little hand tightly, not letting this girl leave her side.
In this strange forest, there was no one to rely on.
They could only rely on themselves!
The voices of the two women came from the laptop.
Braydon, who was resting with his eyes closed, finally opened his eyes slowly and looked at Heather.
This number one talented woman of Preston was no longer that simple-minded.
She brought Ginny along and followed behind the others.
As for what she was planning?
Braydon saw through Heather’s thoughts at a glance. She was following someone. It was obvious why. If she encountered a wolf, she would take Ginny and turn around to run, feeding the person in front to the wolf.
Braydon could not help but laugh. “Heather isn’t stupid. She knows to follow the route of others in the forest. It’s safe, and they won’t be attacked by wild beasts.”
“In fact, in the entire forest, the most dangerous thing is not the wild beasts, but the humans!”
Hatcher was hinting at something.
Sammy sighed lightly. “There are 1,600 examinees and 300 metal tokens. It’s obviously not enough. If 1,300 people are eliminated, some people will probably fight for the metal tokens with their lives.”
“Isn’t this what you wanted to see?”
Braydon glanced at him.
There was only one rule set in the entire examination.
That was, no killing.
As for the rest, there was nothing that could not be done!
What did this mean?
Even if Ginny found a metal token, she might not be able to take it out safely. It was possible that they could not leave the forest safely.
This was because the rules of the martial arts examination did not state that examinees could not snatch from each other.
This kind of martial arts examination seemed casual, but it was actually even crueler.
In the regular martial arts examination arena, it was simple and clear to display one’s strength one-on-one, but there were obvious drawbacks. That was, one could only see the strength of the examinee’s martial arts.
Other than that, they could not see anything else.
When all the examinees were thrown into the dense forest to take the test together, they could see many things.
Each student’s character, methods of doing things, and so on.
These were all based on the examinee’s behavior by being able to make accurate judgments.
At the same time, more than 1,600 examinees would interact with each other, and they would be able to select the top geniuses from all aspects.
To be able to have the last laugh among more than a thousand examinees, one’s intelligence, methods, and strength would definitely have to be the best.
This was the young genius that all the major factions in the capital wanted the most.
Otherwise, if you chose a group of brainy but simple-minded martial artists from the martial arts examination in the Hamptons and sent them to the capital, would they not become a huge joke?
At that time, Commissioner Johnson and Commander Dudley would also lose face.
Braydon the others chatted, and their gazes never left the computer screen.
On the screen, Heather and Ginny were looking for the metal tokens near the forest.
In the end, two metal tokens suddenly fell from a big tree.
The black metal tokens were in the shape of a sword, and there were serial numbers on them.
One was No. 66.
One was No. 88.
They were the metal tokens.
The key was that the two metal tokens fell from the tree, so there was no need to look for them at all.
Heather was stunned.
Ginny looked up at the young man in black and asked curiously, “Big brother, you dropped something! ”
“Ahem, this is a metal token. It was originally placed here for the fated person.
Now it seems that you are the fated person!”
The young man in black blabbered nonsense with a straight face.
He might as well have told them that the metal tokens were theirs.
This was clearly cheating!
