In the auditorium, Bai Yu stood in front of the class area, panting heavily.

Behind him, Yue Zian was already surrounded by a group of people.

If he had not been quick enough to sneak out, he probably would have ended up like Yue Zian.

The students from the other schools were really too enthusiastic.

After he finished explaining the answer to Yue Zian, several female students from other schools asked for his number, saying that they wanted to have a deep discussion with him in private.
Bai Yu tactfully slipped out when Yue Zian said something ridiculous to them.

What were they expecting? A one-on-one tutoring session with him?

Not a chance!

“Everyone, quiet down. Next, let’s begin the exchange class.”

In the middle of the auditorium, an old man with white hair and gray complexion held a microphone.

The students who were playing quickly returned to their own seats.

Bai Yu looked at the podium and tilted his head. This teacher was the invigilator in his previous exam just now.

As it was their first exchange class, no one knew what would happen next. Their gazes were all focused on the podium.

Dong Chunsheng looked at the energetic young people below the podium, and a hint of relief appeared in his eyes. These were the pillars of society in the future. They were the future of humanity.
“You may not be familiar with me, and you may not even have met me.

“To be honest, this is also my first exchange class in Linjiang City.

“My name Is Dong Chunsheng.

“Lama fighter ina shelter.

“Some of you may have heard of the shelter, while others have not.

“Today, I will give you a unified explanation.

“The shelter is the main battlefield where we humans fight against exotic beasts.

“The entrances to the shelters are strictly controlled by the Investigation Association, the Imperial Army, the Martial School Alliance, and the Church!
“We humans have come one after the other to keep the exotic beasts out of the shelters and prevent them from entering our land!

“Of course, sometimes, there are some that slip past our hands.

“Therefore, in some uninhabited areas of the wilderness, there will be exotic beasts that need to be killed by warriors.”

Dong Chunsheng’s voice did not have the feeling of an old man in his twilight years. Instead, it was sonorous and powerful.

The students held their breaths and did not dare to make any noise at this moment. They were digesting this unbelievable information.

“Every year, the Dongsheng Empire allocates more than a hundred billion dollars to suppress these strange beasts.

“All of this wealth is used to distribute warriors, console families, create magical kinetic energy machines, nurture the next generation, and so on.
“Many of you might have plans to enter the martial arts school, perhaps to stand out, to enjoy the convenience of becoming a martial artist, and to be superior.
“Today, I shall share with you the truth of it all.

“While enjoying power, you must take on the responsibility of being a martial artist.

“Don’t think that becoming a martial artist is only all about the title and the fun.

“We contribute more than the money is given.

“Compared to those workers in the Northern District, compared to the people working at the bottom, we have to face the danger at all times, and we have to fight against the terrifying exotic beasts.
“When you get something, you have to pay the price. The empire doesn’t raise useless people.

“The future you face would be as such,

“Now, after knowing all of this. You can choose to withdraw from this program.

“When you enter the Devil University, you will have no chance to withdraw anymore.

“Unless you are injured or killed on the battlefield, anyone who wants to retreat will be treated as deserters.

“Of course, there’s no proof. After watching this video, you should understand.”

His sharp gaze swept across the entire venue.

Dong Chunsheng picked up the remote control in his hand. The huge screen in the auditorium shined, and a great battle was being shown on it.

A great battle between warriors and exotic beasts.

There were all kinds of exotic beasts, but generally speaking, they were somewhat related to animals, such as earthworms the size of trucks and rhinoceroses the size of hills.
‘These were the things that attracted the most attention on the screen.

There were also some creatures that were smaller in size, but had all kinds of strange looks.

There were also some alien races that were humanoid, but could not communicate with each other, and only knew how to kill.

Although these things were recorded in some books, looking at them live made people feel a huge shock and the insignificance of ordinary people.
Even when martial artists faced these monsters, they still had a slim chance of survival.

On the screen, although the human martial artists won successively… There were still many casualties.

“Our mission is to fight these monsters.

“Everyone can die, including me.

“That’s why warriors have a transcendent status!

“The exotic beasts and alien races that you usually see on live streams and video websites are just a drop in the ocean, the weakest of the bunch.
“Social media doesn’t know about the existence of shelters.

“Ordinary people don’t know about the existence of shelters either.

“We are destined to move forward as a society with a heavy burden.

“Even if you sacrifice yourself and die fighting against the beasts, society will not know the achievements you’ve done for them.

“The only thing we can guarantee is your family.

“They can live the rest of their life in peace!

“If you want to quit now, go sign a confidentiality agreement. No one will laugh at you. This is your only chance to quit.

“Those who quit will not be allowed to take the college entrance exam and enter the martial arts school ever again!”

The entire hall fell silent.

A group of students watched the battle on the big screen, digesting the huge amount of information in their minds. Their expressions were uncertain.
It was too sudden.

Perhaps some of the students knew the inside story, but most of the students did not know that they had to face this.

The shelter was confidential.

Their families would not know either.

In the beginning, they were allowed to practice mysticism and take the martial arts exam just so that they could become warriors and have a better future. Now, it seemed like a better choice to choose something else to support their families.
Very soon, some people withdrew.

Once the first person left, soon after, many others followed suit.

One after another, people left the venue and were brought by the staff to sign a confidentiality agreement.

From the beginning, the purpose of them being admitted as martial artists was to enjoy themselves, and not to fight exotic beasts. Moreover, they were rashly asked to make a choice.
Many people were not mentally prepared at all!

In the entire venue, about one-sixth of the students had left.

There were some girls who covered their faces and sobbed.

They had worked hard for many years to study and resist the spiritual pollution. They thought that it would be easy after they went to university and became official martial artists. What they did not expect was that what awaited them was even more cruel and that they could lose their lives at any given
time.

The collapse of their fantasies about the future caused their entire emotions to collapse.
These people were also taken away. With such a temperament, becoming a martial artist would only be a burden to their companions.

All the staff, teachers, and professors in the auditorium watched this scene calmly or silently. No one made a sound.

This was a scene that they would experience every year, and they were already used to it.

After waiting quietly for ten minutes, no one continued to withdraw.

Dong Chunsheng nodded in satisfaction.

“During this period of time, I have been observing the various universities. I originally thought that you guys were the worst batch of students I had ever led and that at least one-third of the students would have to leave. But now, it seems that the rest of you prevailed!
“The ones who are left here now are the ones who are truly going to participate in the college entrance examination and enter the martial arts schools to become martial artists.

“Therefore, in the two months before the college entrance examination, you will be divided into small groups, with a special tutor in charge of leading the team to train you, so that you can enter the Devil University.

“Everyone’s standards are different and will be taught in batches, according to their aptitude.

“For example, today, when I was supervising the exam, a student finished their paper in forty minutes, and the answers were all correct.

“Some students spent two hours until they handed in their papers, but they still could not solve the final question.

“These two kinds of students naturally would not be grouped into the same cohort.

“In the world of martial artists, there is no such thing as equality for everyone.

“The stronger you are, the more attention, more resources, and more privileges you get. On the contrary, you will have to take on more difficult tasks and greater responsibilities!”

At the sound of his voice, there was a commotion in the auditorium, and many students began to murmur to each other about this..
