As long as one can keep up, they can pass the preliminary test... A simple rule that reveals a cruel test, for when the examiner strides forward with ease, the candidates must run desperately to keep up. If this were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but the long road, the unknown endpoint, and the endless running can be a tremendous psychological burden for many.
Gradually, the originally tightly packed group began to stretch out, and gradually, candidates who were running out of stamina started to fall behind.
In fact, every person who could participate in the official Hunter Exam was outstanding. After all, the Hunter Exam is open to everyone in the world, and countless people dream of becoming hunters. However, only 408 people—no, to be precise, 405 people—made it here. Perhaps not everyone here possessed great power, but at least they were outstanding talents in some field, with considerable physical and combat abilities, truly one in a million.
But even such talents, on average, only one new hunter could pass the exam every three years. It's easy to imagine how difficult it is to become a hunter, and this seemingly simple first test is enough to make most people struggle.
But Cheng Tang was definitely not among that "majority."
Although three times the normal human physical attributes did not bring about an exaggerated change, in fact, many of the candidates here had more than three times the stamina, endurance, and physical strength of a normal person, and some were even far superior to Cheng Tang, with five times, seven times, and so on, all achievable through regular training. For example, the little boy Killua, his physical strength was probably several times that of Cheng Tang. However, the people here would not have Cheng Tang's perfect control over their bodies.
He could control his body to run the longest distance with the least energy consumption, control his breathing to always be in the most favorable state, control his heart to beat in the calmest way, control his cells to release endless energy, and control his cells to remain in the peak state of activation... When a person can perfectly control their body, outsiders can never understand the power of this ability.
Take the laxative juice earlier, for example. He controlled his cells to break down the laxative components, so he drank it without any hesitation... In fact, not to mention a mere laxative, as long as it wasn't a poison that could kill instantly, it would have no effect on Cheng Tang. Unless it was something that could kill him upon contact, leaving him no time to react, even the most potent poison, Cheng Tang could "eat" it.
So, when Cheng Tang said he was immune to all poisons, he wasn't exaggerating.
This was also why Cheng Tang wouldn't exchange for a bloodline. Because once he exchanged for a bloodline, regardless of what abilities he would gain, his physical constitution would inevitably change. For example, if he exchanged for a vampire bloodline, his constitution would have vampire characteristics. In that case, Cheng Tang couldn't be sure if it would override his control ability, but the change in constitution would certainly affect his control ability to some extent.
There's a saying: when someone can control everything in the world, and everything in the world can act according to their will, that person is a god of the world. Cheng Tang could control everything in his body, and everything in his body could act according to his will. In other words, he was the god of his body.
His body was the divine flesh!
Therefore, any bloodline was worthless to him.
If there was anything lacking in his body, it was strength. But apart from that, the potential of Cheng Tang's body was no less than, and perhaps even superior to, those S-level bloodlines.
The system's extremely sarcastic comments when issuing tasks were actually quite reasonable. With such a perfect body and such perfect abilities, the Hunter Exam was truly just a minor matter for him.
So, four hours later, when several people had already fallen behind, Cheng Tang wasn't even out of breath. In fact, he had a notebook in his hand, running while reading a classic movie on the screen.
This scene left many people around him dazzled.
Tang Ya ran up to Cheng Tang's side, turned her head, and saw that the screen was showing a scene of a man and a woman fighting intensely... Oh, don't misunderstand, this wasn't some inappropriate fight, but a real sword battle.
"Where did you get the notebook?" Tang Ya asked curiously.
At first, Cheng Tang was running with her, but half an hour ago, he suddenly left the first group. Tang Ya didn't think he would fall behind, so she didn't ask much. But when Cheng Tang ran up again, he had this thing in his hand.
Cheng Tang's eyes were still on the screen, and he smiled without turning his head, "Isn't there a little fat boy with a computer among the candidates?"
"It seems so..." Tang Ya recalled carefully, and there was indeed such a person. The little fat boy was quite arrogant and easily recognizable, and he was still in the first group two hours ago. "You didn't kill him and take the notebook, did you?"
Tang Ya said in surprise, thinking it was entirely possible for Cheng Tang to do such a thing.
"How could I? I'm not a murderer. Why would I kill someone for no reason?"
"Then you?"
"I saw him running with tears and snot streaming down his face, clearly unable to run anymore. I was worried he might suddenly die if he kept running, so I kindly tapped him on the neck to let him take a short nap. Then I kindly picked up the notebook that was about to fall to the ground and kindly kept it for him. It's that simple... No need to be grateful, just call me Lei Feng."
What a kind act! What a grateful act! This isn't murder, but it's no different from robbery!
Tang Ya was speechless, realizing she had overestimated this guy's integrity.
"But speaking of which, that little fat boy, though a rich second generation and as fat as a pig, his strength is not too bad. At least he's not the last to fall behind... Oh, these two are starting to tear their clothes off, how shameless!" Cheng Tang suddenly exclaimed.
Tang Ya followed his gaze and indeed saw that the man and woman on the screen were fighting intensely, the man bare-chested, the woman with exposed thighs, their clothes torn, looking quite different.
However, Tang Ya had never been fond of such scenes and immediately turned away.
"Damn, this guy is too perverted, using such a long spear to poke the girl's private parts, and he actually touched it, even exposing her... Director, did you get the script wrong? Is this going to be an 18+ movie? Where's the promise of no selling flesh?" As he spoke, Cheng Tang took one hand off the screen and sent a comment.
Tang Ya, curious, turned her head to look again.
Cheng Tang noticed her gaze and said to her, "This movie is too shameless. What famous director, what a fraud. Let's gang up on him."
Tang Ya gave him a disdainful look, thinking to herself: The most shameless one is you, clearly enjoying it.
Cheng Tang inviting Tang Ya to gang up on the director was just a casual remark, and he didn't really care about her reaction. But seeing that the girl was running quite easily, he suddenly became curious, "I see your physical condition isn't much better than a normal person's. How come you're not tired at all? What kind of cheat are you using? Can you lend it to me?"
"My physical condition is only twice that of a normal person, but I exchanged for the Wind Spirit bloodline. Although it's only E-level, it makes my body very light and allows me to use wind power to some extent, so I don't feel tired even after a long run..." Tang Ya said with a hint of regret and worry, "But I don't have enough survival points to exchange for the Wind Spirit's combat skills, so my combat ability is low. I'm not sure if I can pass this three-star副本 world smoothly, sigh."
Although the preliminary test wasn't a big pressure for Tang Ya, it was still a three-star副本, and the difficulty was considerable. Moreover, from what she knew, the more simple the beginning of such a副本, the greater the difficulty later on. She had entered such a副本, and her future was indeed bleak.
"Then just offer your chastity and cling to my leg, I'll guarantee you pass."
Cheng Tang said calmly.
