“Hahahaha! He Yiming, this time, how are you going to fight me?” Gu Changfeng couldn't wait to jump up, full of smugness as he mocked He Yiming.
However, He Yiming once again elegantly ignored Gu Changfeng.
“Niu Roumian, get online! This is the real deal!” He Yiming sent three notifications to Niu Roumian.
But...
Why was there no response?
At that moment, on Blue Water Star...
“What? You say the Talent Stele is broken? Broken my ass, that's just my power!” Niu Roumian shouted at the screen, immersed in an intense argument with some random internet users in the forum. He didn't even notice the prompt sound coming from his virtual helmet three times.
“Don't worry, Brother Ming, this is just a small scene. We don't need Roumian to step in, the three of us can handle it!” Wang Lufei jumped out, patting his chest, brimming with confidence.
“Alright, just make sure you stay calm and win with the safest method possible! Don't… take any risks!” He Yiming almost said, “Don't mess around, and don't try to act cool!” but in the end, he decided to give a more NPC-like and serious warning.
“Brother Ming, don't worry!”
“Exactly, we'll absolutely play it safe!”
“Trust me, we've got this!”
Wang Lufei and the others all made reassuring promises, which made He Yiming feel a bit more at ease.
After thinking about it, although Wang Lufei could be a bit reckless, the number one Ice Mage in the country and the indomitable Bear Strong were both steady enough to handle this, so He Yiming felt he could relax.
At this point, disciples from the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking began taking the stage for their tests.
“I choose the Flying Serpent Beast!” The tenth place disciple from the Heavenly Ranking chose a half-step Foundation Establishment Beast.
Next, the disciples of the top nine began to fight, each one holding out for a while before eventually retreating after two incense sticks of time. After deliberation, the Haotian Academy judges quickly gave a score of 235.
The battles continued, with each score hovering between 200 and 300.
Then came Gu Changfeng!
“I choose… the Ironhide Beast!” When Gu Changfeng stood up and selected the Ironhide Beast, not only Wang Yue but even some of the higher-ups from Haotian Academy frowned.
“The Ironhide Beast? That's the weakest among all the half-step Foundation Establishment beasts! Gu Changfeng must be lucky, huh?”
“Something's off, though. All the weaker half-step Foundation Establishment beasts have been picked, leaving only the most formidable ones!”
“Indeed, the Four-Armed Giant Ape, the War Camel Beast King, and the Venomfire Salamander Beast are the strongest! And they're all still available!”
The higher-ups at Haotian Academy were puzzled, but they didn't think too much about it.
After all, the vice dean of the academy, Gu Hang, was in charge of the exam. No one would have suspected anything under his watch.
“Attack its left leg, that's its weak spot!”
“Come over and help me, it's about to launch its breath attack!”
“Wait a minute, this state means it's about to use that attack!”
On the arena, Gu Changfeng's four disciples acted as though they already knew every single move the Ironhide Beast would make. They seemed to be completely aware of its weak points, and they fought with precise, targeted strikes that seemed tailored for the Ironhide Beast.
This scene was so obvious that even the higher-ups at Haotian Academy began to notice something was wrong.
“These four seem to have already trained for this beast, as if they knew exactly what it would do… Could it be…?” Many of the higher-ups at Haotian Academy couldn't help but glance at Gu Hang.
Though several of them opened their mouths to speak, they chose to remain silent in the end.
What could they do after noticing it?
Who would dare to point this out and risk offending Vice Dean Gu Hang?
Moreover, now that all the higher-ups at Haotian Academy had seen it, it was clear to them.
Among the half-step Foundation Establishment beasts, the weakest one, the Ironhide Beast, had been chosen by Gu Changfeng, while all the other weaker beasts had been picked by other disciples in the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking.
The rest were all extremely powerful!
In other words, the remaining strong beasts were left specifically for He Yiming!
It was an obvious and blatant conspiracy to target He Yiming, and everyone at Haotian Academy saw it.
But no one spoke up.
On one hand, they didn't want to offend Vice Dean Gu Hang.
On the other hand…
“As the top student, this is your fate! Perhaps experiencing a massive failure might even be better for you!” Many of the high-ranking members felt sorry for He Yiming, and some had already decided that this time...
He would definitely lose!
“Time's up!” With Vice Dean Gu Hang's voice, the one-hour limit had arrived!
Gu Changfeng's four disciples were all covered in injuries and were clearly at their limits!
But facing the half-step Foundation Establishment Ironhide Beast, they managed to fight evenly, lasting a full hour!
Therefore, under Vice Dean Gu Hang's subtle hints, the judges immediately gave them the highest score.
581!
“Hahahaha!” Upon seeing this score, Gu Hang smiled with satisfaction.
This was the highest score in the last ten years!
“Hahaha, 581? This is the true strength of Gu Changfeng! He Yiming, this time, you've lost for sure!” Gu Changfeng shouted in excitement, turning to look at He Yiming.
He Yiming remained as calm as ever, but his brow furrowed slightly.
Because He Yiming had thought of a key issue...
