A Blue-Clothed Youth Martial Warrior walked up to Zhang Hao, looked at him coldly, and asked, "You are the first place in the first two rounds, Zhang Hao?"
"That's right!" Zhang Hao didn't know who the other party was and said indifferently.
A chilling killing intent locked onto Zhang Hao. This killing intent was strong, as if it wanted to completely crush Zhang Hao at any moment.
Zhang Hao immediately became vigilant, narrowing his eyes.
"Hmph! I don't know how you got first place in the first two rounds, but this third round is the key. You might even lose your life because of it... Hahaha..." the youth retracted his killing intent, his expression calm, as if stating something that was a matter of course.
"Who are you?" Zhang Hao asked coldly.
"Hahaha, you don't even know who I am. I really don't know how you came here to participate in the assessment," the youth said with some disdain.
"Boss, his name is Nangong Jin, the absolute Genius of the Nangong Family in this generation," Dou Bi said to Zhang Hao with a solemn expression.
So it was him!
This Nangong Jin, Dou Bi had mentioned him. From his aura, Zhang Hao could sense that he was definitely a Half-Step Martial King. His cultivation was the strongest among so many people.
A Black-Clad Youth also came over at this moment, his eyes gloomy, his aura somewhat cold. He gave people an uncomfortable feeling just by looking at him. This youth walked closer, looked at Xiao Kuang beside Zhang Hao, and sneered, "Cousin, I didn't expect you to be mixing with them. This time, I will definitely not let you pass the assessment. Hahaha..."
"This person is Xiao Jue, a Genius of the Xiao Family in this generation, and also one of the favorites for the championship this time. He has the cultivation of a Great Martial Master Peak. He is only slightly weaker than Nangong Jin," Dou Bi, seeing Zhang Hao's confusion, said from the side.
Next, Dou Bi introduced Cai Fengchen, Shi Yidao, Wang Zekai, and others to Zhang Hao.
These people were all Genius youths in this assessment.
Zhang Hao's expression gradually became solemn. Although he was confident in his strength, which of these geniuses didn't have trump cards? It would not be easy to get first place in this final assessment. The only one he hadn't seen among so many geniuses was the only woman, Yan Siqing. He didn't know if this Yan Siqing had passed the round. Zhang Hao was slightly interested in this only woman among the geniuses.
Of course, this had nothing to do with liking or not liking, it was just curiosity.
Suddenly, a figure swept through the void ahead.
Martial King? Only a Martial King can float in the void. This person flying in the void was clearly a Martial King.
All the youths looked at this Martial King, their eyes filled with envy. Including Zhang Hao. A Martial King could already soar freely in the void. That was another level of life. It could be said that among Martial Warriors, the Martial King was a major watershed. Being able to soar in the void and fly was a Realm that most Martial Warriors dreamed of. But reaching the Martial King Realm was absolutely difficult; not even one in ten thousand Martial Warriors could reach the Martial King Realm.
This was an Old Man about sixty years old, with a thin face but bright eyes.
"I am the invigilator for this third round of assessment. The third round is about to begin, but I, the invigilator, still need to give a warning beforehand. The rules this time do not allow killing examinees. Injuring or disabling is not included in this restriction," the Old Man said solemnly.
Seeing that everyone seemed to have understood, he nodded slightly and said, "Alright, since you have all understood clearly, now everyone enter the teleportation array. The teleportation array will take you to the assessment ground."
Everyone entered the teleportation array in batches, entering the assessment ground for the final round.
Now it was the final round, and everyone was extremely excited. If they could successfully pass this round, they could enter the legendary, famous Three Great Academies.
After a few breaths, the teleportation array transported the five hundred examinees to the assessment ground. Before the Soul Severing Bridge, the five hundred examinees all stood there. They were all curiously examining the single-plank bridge in front of them.
A single-plank bridge was located before the Soul Severing River. Below the Soul Severing River, mist curled up, and from time to time, huge Blood Crocodiles could be seen opening their bloody mouths, as if waiting for food, their white teeth gleaming with cold light.
These Blood Crocodiles emitted terrifying auras. They were definitely Ferocious Beasts above the fifth rank. Their eyes were fierce and cruel. Some examinees below the Great Martial Master Realm who were lucky enough to enter the third round were now having second thoughts.
It would be best if they could pass the third round, but if they didn't pass and instead lost their lives, it would be a loss. Although the third round stipulated that they could not kill each other, if they fell off the Soul Severing Bridge and were swallowed by the Blood Crocodiles, that would be another matter.
The previous invigilator was now also suspended above the Martial Warriors. He said indifferently, "Now you still have a chance to choose whether or not to participate in the third round of assessment. After all, you have already passed two rounds and can choose to join other Colleges. Of course, if you want to enter the Three Great Academies, you need to pass the third round. This third round is very dangerous. Although killing examinees is prohibited, if you fall off the Soul Severing Bridge and are eaten by the Blood Crocodiles, it is a normal thing. Therefore, I, the invigilator, hope you will consider carefully."
The examinees looked at each other, still somewhat hesitant as they looked at the Soul Severing Bridge ahead. After all, having come this far, it would indeed be a pity to give up. But thinking of the great danger they faced, the examinees were still very hesitant.
After some thought, 300 examinees immediately withdrew. These Martial Warriors had passed two rounds, and although they weren't the Three Great Academies, they could enter other Colleges, so there was no need to take risks. Most of these withdrawing examinees were Martial Warriors below the third stage of Great Martial Master. With their strength, it would be difficult to pass the third round.
Ying Da, Dou Bi, and Yun Qiuyu were all somewhat hesitant about whether to withdraw. However, thinking of what Zhang Hao had said earlier, the three gritted their teeth and persevered.
Zhang Hao seemed to see their worries and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, we'll stick together later. Boss will help you."
Ying Da and Dou Bi were overjoyed. With Zhang Hao's help, they had more confidence. Only Yun Qiuyu still hesitated and said to Zhang Hao, "Zhang Hao, this time, you want to get first place in the assessment. If you help us and delay your own assessment, that would not be good."
"Hahaha, don't worry. I will get first place in this assessment. But I also hope you can succeed," Zhang Hao said with a smile.
The invigilator, suspended in the void, spoke again in a deep voice, "How is it? Have you considered it carefully?"
Among the hesitant Martial Warriors among the examinees, more than 100 came out again. In the end, only over a hundred examinees remained who were prepared to participate in the third round of assessment.
"Good, since you have made your choice clear, I, the invigilator, now announce that the third round of assessment begins," the invigilator announced solemnly.
