The day of the assessment has finally arrived.
When Tianmiao and Lin Duoduo entered the hall, it was already crowded.
After all the registrants had gathered, the examiner announced the start of the assessment.
Everyone lined up to enter through a large door.
After passing through a hallway that wasn’t too long, the examiner opened another door, and everyone was stunned upon entering.
Ahead was an endless expanse of desert landscape.
"Is this the back of the hall? Impossible."
"Of course, it’s impossible."
"This is a passage created by a Space Ability User. It connects directly from the hall to this desert, using the desert as the testing ground."
"This Space Ability User has impressive power."
The superpower users whispered among themselves.
"Alright, quiet down." A black-clad examiner appeared before the crowd, raised his hand to signal them to quiet down, and announced, "The first round of assessment is very simple. This is the starting point, you just have to keep running forward, and if you reach the finish line within six hours, you pass. You can run using two legs or both hands if you want, but don’t use your superpowers. If anyone is caught using superpowers to cheat, their examination eligibility will be immediately revoked, and they won’t be able to take the Demon Hunter qualification assessment again for ten years. That’s all I have to say, timing starts in ten seconds."
The first assessment is straightforward and brutal. As a Demon Exorcist, physical endurance is also very important.
Lin Duoduo tightened the backpack on her back, her eyes full of confidence.
Meanwhile, Tianmiao was leisurely peeling a piece of chocolate. This chocolate was crafted very delicately, each piece individually wrapped, and in various exquisite shapes: stars, moons, flowers...
"Want a piece?" Tianmiao asked Lin Duoduo.
"No thanks, Tianmiao sis, let’s go for it together." Lin Duoduo said, clenching her fist.
"Alright, alright." Tianmiao stuffed the peeled chocolate into her mouth, nodded, speaking indistinctly.
"Begin!" The examiner’s command issued with a starter pistol, marking the start of the first round of the assessment.
Thousands of superpower users began running simultaneously.
Several dozen gray-clad examiners rode small scooters on either side of the participants. These electric scooters use magnetic levitation, hovering about 20 to 30 centimeters off the ground, speeding along smoothly. Above the participants, over a hundred drones continuously flew and monitored.
At first, the superpower users were running effortlessly.
But gradually, the differences became apparent.
The endless desert landscape psychologically pressured the participants. The ground beneath their feet was not very stable, and the surrounding temperature was somewhat hot.
A couple of people tried to use superpowers in a moment of luck, but they were immediately discovered and escorted out of the testing ground. Waiting for them was severe punishment.
Meanwhile, most people continued to run honestly, although many were slowing down.
Lin Duoduo ran at a steady pace, with Tianmiao beside her, also running leisurely.
"You candidates are honestly the worst batch I’ve ever seen...What, ready to give up already, can’t run anymore?" The only black-clad examiner rode his scooter beside them, mockingly shouting through a loudspeaker. He was evidently the chief examiner of this round. Only the chief examiner could wear black.
Some candidates glanced weakly at the leisurely examiner on his scooter, complaining in their hearts: So mean, it’s bad enough with verbal attacks, yet there’s also psychological torment. He also wished to ride a scooter leisurely alongside the crowd.
Doesn’t building happiness on others’ suffering feel especially gratifying?
