God Emperor

When they went back to the drill ground of Western Yard, Zhang Ruochen and Zi Qian found nearly 400 young warriors gathered there. Many of them had injuries and their faces were full of disappointment.

Some were in high spirits, laughing and talking happily. It was apparent they had completed the first round of the exam, which explained their confidence.

People were discussing vividly in the drill ground, mostly about the thrilling experience of hunting the savage beasts.

”I heard there are two killing stars in the exam this year. They caused a foul wind and a rain of blood in Omen Ridge, killing many young warriors. ”

”I heard that too! The killing stars targeted warriors from Square Commandery, killing at least 50 of them. ”

A warrior from Yunwu Commandery sighed. ”We ’re lucky that the two killing stars fended off warriors from Square Commandery so that they didn ’t have the energy to fight us. I don ’t think I would pass the first round otherwise. ”

Zhang Ruochen walked past those warriors with a small smile on his face and hand over 20 Beast ’s Eyeballs to the disciple in charge of counting them.

Zi Qian handed over 80 Beast ’s Eyeballs.

They both passed the first round of the School of the Martial Market exam and returned to the drill ground to join the others from Yunwu Commandery.

They both kept the extra Beast ’s Eyeballs to themselves.

The eyeballs of savage beasts all had medicinal value. They could be used for making Pills. If they sold them, they could make a hefty profit.

It was now noon, and the first round of the exam was over.

Standing on a dais, Elder Situ held a scroll made of animal skin and began reading the names of the warriors who had passed the first round.

”1,537 people took part in the first round of the exam, 468 passed. The names are as follows: Jiang Ying, Liu Chengfeng, Xia Hao… ”

The young warriors who had passed left the drill ground after Elder Situ finished reading their names. The others were sent back to their own commanderies.
