"What's wrong?" Yang Li asked.
"Nothing." Lin Feng turned his head and smiled faintly.
A look of doubt flashed in his eyes; today's Shi Wenlong was very strange.
Shi Wenlong, who was always arrogant and looked down on everyone, had no reason to turn and walk away upon seeing him. This reaction... was very unusual. Lin Feng's brows furrowed slightly, trying to deduce something from Shi Wenlong's expression, but there were no clues. However, he felt that...
Shi Wenlong, there's something wrong!
Just at that moment—
"Bang!" The lights in the entire hall suddenly went out, causing a chorus of exclamations. Lin Feng's thoughts returned, and like the other students, his gaze fell on the only source of light, the giant screen at the front of the hall. The 3D image of the Battle Academy, which had been displayed like stars, began to shrink, and suddenly, a beautiful woman with a fiery figure and a charming presence appeared on the screen.
Wearing a gene armor, she not only didn't look out of place but instead accentuated her slender and curvaceous figure.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Yue Meng. This year's entrance examination for the Battle Academy will be conducted by me." The slender woman's face carried a faint smile.
"Listen carefully, I will only explain the rules once." Yue Meng slowed her pace, her beautiful eyes flickering. "Soon, each of you will enter any available virtual reality device, put on the consciousness helmet, and the superbrain will automatically scan all your data, then activate the 100% simulation of the 'Battle World.'"
Battle World?
Lin Feng was slightly taken aback; he had never heard of it before.
The surrounding students also showed signs of surprise but listened carefully.
"Your examination will be conducted simultaneously with the ancient martial artists' entrance examination."
"Remember, if you die in the Battle World, it means you are eliminated..." Yue Meng smiled faintly, her fiery figure attracting everyone's attention. "Give it your all and compete for these 100 spots. The countdown starts in sixty seconds, and the examination will officially begin."
The soft and gentle voice still lingered in their hearts, but Yue Meng's charming face had already disappeared from the screen.
The sixty-second countdown appeared instantly.
"59." "58." "57." ...
Boom! The entire hall erupted in chaos.
"What does this mean?"
"How are we supposed to compete for the spots? They didn't explain it clearly!"
"What is the Battle World? I've never heard of it. It can't be some online game, this is too frivolous!"
...
Complaints arose from all sides, and Lin Feng pondered deeply.
Although Mentor Yue Meng's words were brief, each sentence clearly had deep meaning, summarizing the examination rules and content. The most profound sentence was probably—your examination will be conducted simultaneously with the ancient martial artists' entrance examination.
Recalling what he had seen earlier, Lin Feng's eyes flickered with a glint.
"Let's go, Feng. Look, everyone else is already inside," Yang Li urged, eager to get started.
Lin Feng glanced around. Indeed, despite the students' complaints and doubts, time did not wait for anyone. They quickly chose virtual reality devices, afraid of falling behind. Lin Feng nodded lightly and looked at Yang Li and Tao Jing. "Let's split up and do our best!"
"Let's do our best!" The three of them lightly bumped fists, Tao Jing's face blushing.

Battle Academy, Battle World Control Room.
Numerous screens of various sizes received information, analyzing superbrain data, with QR code numbers rolling like snowballs, almost impossible to see with the naked eye. Highly precise mechanical superbrains, operated by dozens of skilled technicians, produced a steady stream of key clicks and electromagnetic sounds.
In the main seat of the control room, Yue Meng, wearing a light yellow gene armor, crossed her arms, her charming eyes fixed on the sixteen large screens in front of her.
Each screen displayed a human figure composed of dotted lines, with detailed data text, which was the information scanned by the superbrain from the students.
Online game?
Luck?
The Battle Academy has always been rigorous, seeking only the elite.
However, unlike the other two top-level academies, the Battle Academy has only one standard for admitting elites—
Combat ability!
No matter how broad your brain domain or how talented you are, if your combat ability and battle experience are zero, and you lack basic mental fortitude, what use are you? The Battle Academy does not want pampered flowers grown in a greenhouse; it wants resilient weeds that stand tall and thrive no matter the wind and rain!
"Wang Xintong, brain domain width 9.29%, physical index: good for a quasi-gene warrior."
"Wu Cong, brain domain width 9.08%, physical index: average for a quasi-gene warrior."
"Ren Zihao, brain domain width 9.31%, physical index: excellent for a quasi-gene warrior."
...
Yue Meng's fine brows furrowed slightly, and her face no longer carried the smile from before. It was clear she was not satisfied with the quality of the students taking the examination. Her gaze fell on the quality of the ancient martial artists on the left, and her tense face relaxed slightly. She murmured, "Apart from the four who were recruited early, the quality of this year's gene warrior students is still not up to par."
Yue Meng was also helpless. The best gene warriors of each generation were always in the other two top-level academies. Even if the Battle Academy was as meticulous as possible, it could only select the leftovers.
Just at that moment—
"Sister Yue!" "Sister Yue, something's wrong!" A cry of alarm suddenly rang out. Yue Meng's eyes flickered, and her curvaceous figure appeared on the other side of the control room. At that moment, a hundred screens were synchronously transmitting images from the 'Battle World.' Ninety-nine of the screens were calm, but the one in the lower right corner was filled with sword light and blood.
Swoosh! The screen lit up with a bright white light, and a huge, fierce elemental beast lay in a pool of blood.
Step~ A purple figure landed lightly, holding two C1-level Yu-series light swords that emitted a stunningly brilliant light. Her face, as delicate as jade, was flawless. It was the purple-clothed girl Lin Feng had bumped into when he was lost earlier.
"Heavens, this little miss." Yue Meng revealed a hint of helpless laughter, covering her eyes in disbelief.
"Sister Yue, what should we do now?" The technician's face turned pale, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. "We really didn't know when Miss Ling'er sneaked in. What do you think... should we report this to the Dean?"
"Forget it, let this little girl have her way." Yue Meng shook her head and pondered, "She's just playing around and shouldn't cause too much trouble. You can treat her as an additional intelligent NPC. Although Ling'er became a gene warrior early and was recruited ahead of time, if she wants to participate in the examination, it's not a violation. This is a trivial matter... no need to disturb the Dean."
As she spoke, Yue Meng sighed helplessly, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at the purple-clothed girl.
At that moment, on the sixteen screens Yue Meng was monitoring, a dotted line figure appeared on the screen in the lower right corner, with clear data displayed—
"Lin Feng, graduate of Jiao Yang District Primary Gene Academy, brain domain width 9.95%."
"Physical index: excellent for a primary gene warrior."
