#299 - Chapter 299 The First Test is about to begin
Several tens of minutes later.
War College Hall.
————————
“Registration is about to close!”
Li Xuefeng said loudly, holding a list in his hand.
“Is there anyone else who wants to register? If so, please raise your hand!”
“If not, the War College entrance exam will begin in five minutes!”
No one raised their hand in the War College hall.
All those who wanted to participate in this entrance exam had completed their registration.
Li Xuefeng was well aware of this situation.
As usual, this time, the number of people participating in the entrance exam accounted for more than 80% of the total.
The specific number was two hundred and forty-three people.
Moreover, the composition of this group was relatively simple.
The lords who wanted to participate in the entrance exam could be simply divided into two groups.
The first group consisted of the children of imperial commoners. After becoming lords, they lacked the help and support of families and large guilds, and were unwilling to join alliances too quickly. Therefore, joining the War College would be one of their best choices.
If they passed the exam and joined the War College,
not to mention their direct benefits, just considering their future careers, their situation would improve a lot.
Because the identity of a War College student would add a lot of points in their future marriages.
However, it is worth mentioning that although these children of commoners sound miserable,
in reality, each of them is a winner in the lord assessment.
Simply put, they are the most competitive among the competitive.
This is not a joke.
Each of them has real strength.
Apart from them, the other group of people joining the War College entrance exam is more special.
They are the “second sons” of other families and the illegitimate children of certain large guilds and alliance members.
Their reason for joining the War College is quite special: to gain a slight advantage among their peers in the future family inheritance competition by virtue of their War College identity and strength.
A slight advantage, which sounds a bit shabby.
But in reality, the slight advantage these people talk about is not the kind of slight advantage that commoners understand.
Even a little splash from large families and alliances represents an extremely large amount of assets.
So, this is a very profitable thing.
The above two are the biggest sources of War College newcomers.
Of course, there are no absolutes.
Besides these two, there are always exceptions.
Some people simply want to become stronger and hone themselves through the learning of the War College.
Such as Su Yingxue.
And....
an exception among exceptions.
Wu Wei.
“Sigh...”
Li Xuefeng glanced at a certain name on the list and sighed silently.
Wu Wei, good luck.
Although Li Xuefeng inwardly hoped that Wu Wei could perform well in the upcoming assessment,
in reality, he was not optimistic about Wu Wei's “prospects”.
Because he knew very well that after Wu Wei had made a series of rather exaggerated actions before,
he would definitely be targeted by others in the next period of assessment.
Thinking of this, Li Xuefeng felt a little helpless.
However, in any case, as a mentor,
he cannot have too much personal bias.
It's okay to pay attention to a student he values, but favoritism is not allowed.
Because his identity is that of a War College mentor.
Under any circumstances, his most important task and responsibility is to be loyal to the War College.
So, after figuring this out, Li Xuefeng, together with the gray-haired female mentor wearing a white veil, opened a new portal, and then issued a piece of paper recording the same plane coordinates to each lord entering this assessment.
“Remember, when you enter the assessment area, you will enter the War College's enchantment.”
“Within this enchantment, your Heavenly Dao system will be restricted.”
“Functions such as auctions and chats that can connect with the outside world will be closed.”
“So, don’t try to use some tricky methods to get help from the outside world.”
“All you need to do is make good use of everything within your territory.”
After speaking, Li Xuefeng successfully opened the portal in front of him.
However, the portal he opened was somewhat different.
That is, the portal he opened was engraved with the War College logo.
Around the portal, there were also some abnormal spatial fluctuations.
It seemed that this was not a public portal, but a War College exclusive portal.
After this portal appeared, the new lords present immediately walked in.
And the first assessment they were about to face would begin with their arrival!
Defend for ten days against the siege of countless alien races who hate the empire!
And these alien races besieging them are genuine enemies of the empire!
Even more terrifying is that hidden among this group of alien races are some extremely terrifying things.
For example...
a troll leader who slaughtered several imperial lords!

“Thump!”
“Monster, you... are free!”
As the sound of shackles being unlocked appeared, a pair of bloodshot eyes lit up from the darkness....
