C3 I Have Money
The second test arrived as scheduled. Wang Yan pulled up to the exam hall in his supercar, valued at a cool 88.88 million.
Onlookers gasped in awe, and a few girls even boldly asked for Wang Yan's contact information.
"There goes that sickly heir of the Wang family!"
Someone sneered, sparking a wave of murmurs among the crowd.
"Didn't he fail the last test? His physical attribute is a measly 3 points."
"He's no match for Brother Chao. Brother Chao's physical attribute is a solid 8 points!"
The trio sneered at Wang Yan.
Wang Yan stepped out of his car, faced the three, and said with contempt, "You guys are just broke."
"You dare insult me?"
The three were in disbelief at Wang Yan's audacity. The once-timid Wang Yan was now domineering.
Wang Yan just grinned and taunted, "A trio of paupers!"
"I've got a physical attribute of 8. What do you have that compares to me?"
Brother Chao retorted with a cold snort.
Unfazed, Wang Yan replied with a smile, "I've got wealth!"
"My spirit beast is a Rank 1, Star 5!"
Brother Chao boasted once more.
Wang Yan coolly responded, "And I've got good looks!"
"Just shut it! You're both poor and ugly!"
Wang Yan spat dismissively and strode into the exam hall, chest out, leaving Brother Chao seething with rage, nearly choking on his fury.
"He's bound to fail the exam!"
Brother Chao spat out a venomous curse, "If he passes, I'll livestream myself eating three pounds of sh*t!"
Wang Yan, having checked his attributes, proceeded to the practical combat test.
The task for all candidates was to battle ferocious beasts.
If he could slay ten Rank 1, Star 1 beasts, he'd pass.
Continuing to challenge would earn him extra rewards.
The higher the challenge level, the greater the rewards, and the better the universities he could apply to.
Achieving a "Grade A" rating would grant him an exceedingly rare soul skill.
The combat test unfolded in a circular arena, surrounded by a throng of spectators and anxious parents of the examinees.
Beneath the stage stood a Level 6 beast tamer.
The practical combat exam carried significant risks. The further a candidate progressed through the checkpoints, the higher the stakes became.
Without a seasoned beast tamer on hand to oversee the process, it would be a daunting challenge for inexperienced contestants to muster the courage to go all in.
"You're up for the test yourself!"
The speaker was this session's proctor: Wang Guangyao.
His duties included preventing cheating and ensuring the safety of the candidates.
"Third Uncle, I'm sure to pass this time!"
Wang Yan said with a confident smile.
Wang Guangyao was indeed his uncle.
Wang Yan's father had two brothers.
After decades of hard work, Wang Yan's father had risen to become a top businessman in M Province. His father's younger brother had ascended to the role of General Commander of the Minghu Military Region.
Wang Yan's father's youngest brother was in his thirties and still without a girlfriend.
Every New Year's, he would endure a beating from Wang Yan's grandfather for this.
Wang Yan had the closest bond with his Third Uncle.
"The Wang family's children are all exceptional!"
Third Uncle said, patting Wang Yan's shoulder lightly. Something the size of a finger slipped down Wang Yan's neck and into his shirt.
"The first challenge features the cross-country rabbit. Toss out a water jade radish, and the rabbits won't bother you."
Hearing these soft words, Wang Yan was moved.
Wang Guangyao, the proctor, was aiding a candidate in cheating, seemingly indifferent to his own career prospects.
The Wang family's eldest had wealth, while the second brother wielded power.
"Don't worry! I've got this!"
Wang Yan grinned, pulling out the radish and taking a crisp bite. It was no surprise the rabbits were fond of it.
Wang Guangyao sensed something amiss, but the examination had to proceed.
He opened the enclosure of the examination hall, and ten snow-white cross-country rabbits darted out.
With their long ears, they looked incredibly cute and seemingly lacked any real fighting prowess.
As Rank 1 Star 1 ferocious beasts, the cross-country rabbits were essentially fodder for other, more ferocious creatures.
When faced with a pack of cross-country rabbits, one must never underestimate them.
Should these rabbits trample someone, broken bones could be the result.
A spirit beast of slightly larger stature would have no trouble defeating them.
As soon as ten cross-country rabbits appeared, they set their sights on Wang Yan.
Wang Yan remained completely calm, casually summoning Green with a wave of his hand.
The emerald-hued Green was strikingly beautiful.
Its arrival immediately caused a stir.
Once Green was summoned, the ten ferocious rabbits promptly and submissively lay down on the ground.
Green moved at a leisurely pace, making its way over to consume the rabbits.
What was happening?
Why were all the rabbits lying motionless on the ground?
Green didn't waste time eating.
In under half a minute, it had devoured all ten cross-country rabbits and let out a burp.
"I really underestimated you!"
Witnessing Wang Yan's effortless success, Wang Guangyao nodded with great satisfaction and quickly unleashed the second wave of beasts.
"Meet the burrower, a Rank 1, Star 2 ferocious beast. They excel at burrowing and tunneling. The floor of the examination hall has been reinforced with an attacking method. They won't be able to burrow out. Your reward for winning is a martial arts technique of your choice."
Wang Guangyao briefly described the beast's traits, seemingly concerned that Wang Yan might be at a disadvantage.
"Understood!"
Wang Yan acknowledged with a nod.
Having achieved leader quality, Green could vanquish any ferocious beast, with the exception of those at Rank 3.
