Xu Jin was swiftly hunting in the wilderness, not using Star Power for high-speed movement, but simply relying on the speed of his flesh to run.

Although this third test provided four Pills, the amount of Star Power was still an important limitation.

The map of this wilderness must be large; fifteen minutes passed before Xu Jin had only killed two people and gained seven points.

Suddenly, Xu Jin’s gaze shifted; in the river valley ahead, he spotted a disciple from a Taoist Institute and rapidly ran towards him.

With his Cultivation Level of Body Refining complete and having undergone Purification eight times, his physical qualities had become incredibly powerful.

Running at high speed felt as quick as lightning.

Maintaining an acceptable level of physical exertion, Xu Jin felt he could keep up a speed of around fifty kilometers per hour.

If he disregarded his physical strength and burst forth, he could reach speeds of about eighty kilometers per hour, covering a hundred meters in just over four seconds, but could not sustain this for long.

Under the current circumstances, to conserve Star Power, he could only progress in this manner.

He didn’t want to experience that weakness and sense of crisis again, when, in the final minutes of the second test, he had run out of Star Power entirely.

The disciple from the State Taoist Institute in the river valley had also spotted Xu Jin, his collar and cuffs were blue, not silver, indicating he was probably from a certain State Daoist School. Now seeing Xu Jin approach with a long spear on his back, he ran swiftly towards him.

When they were thirty meters apart, the State Institute disciple suddenly called out, "Senior brother, we are both from the State Daoist Institutes, could we perhaps form a team to gain higher..."

Bang!

A figure flashed past, Xu Jin using Flying Star Step in a sudden burst, a Star Arrow directly struck the disciple’s head.

A look of horror had just appeared on the face of that State Institute disciple before he vanished.

Too much nonsense.

A stranger, with no understanding at all.

Xu Jin would have to be foolish to team up with him.

In the sky, the Starlight flickered slightly, and Xu Jin’s score changed again, increasing by five points.

[Xu Jin: Forty-four and four-tenths points]

He glanced around; it was extremely vast, only encountering someone every three to four minutes, which meant the wilderness map must be rather large.

To find his brothers from Jinshan Taoist Institute would truly be a matter of luck.

But after fifteen or thirty minutes, when the map shrinks continuously, the likelihood of finding them should be high.

The question was, by that time, how many of Jinshan Taoist Institute’s brothers would still be alive?

Similarly, due to the map’s vast size in the first thirty minutes, it was tough for disciples from other institutes to form teams unless they had extraordinary luck.

Thus, the first thirty minutes were the best opportunity to earn individual points.

Even if one died in this third test, the points would still count towards the rankings.

Xu Jin continued his search along the river valley.

Inside the Autumn Examination Secret Realm, a crowd of spectating disciples were also holding their breath, observing every change on the battlefield.

Xu Jin’s direct kill of the chatting disciple had evoked curses and praises, though no one knew it was Xu Jin’s doing.

Perhaps for some reason, spectators of this third test could see the actions of all disciples but couldn’t see their faces clearly.

The faces of all combatant disciples were covered in a mass of Starlight.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the rankings of Starlight cascaded down like a waterfall.

Xu Jin’s score was still far in the lead.

The score of Meng Qingqiu, who was in second place, had reached thirty-one points, which was growing slightly faster than Xu Jin’s.

On the Martial Observation Platform, the high-ranking figures of various Daoist Institutes were observing the battlefield, especially the Academicians and Vice Academicians of Da Chen National Daoist School, who were constantly watching both the battlefield and the refreshed rankings.

Among them, Vice Academician Liu Qingzhu was the most nervous.

If she could retake first place in this third test, she could reclaim some face.

Now, Liu Qingzhu was praying for one thing: that seed players like Meng Qingqiu, Yan Chen, Yuan Feiqing, and others wouldn’t encounter Xu Jin too early.

As the Vice Academician of Da Chen National Daoist School, Liu Qingzhu had a keen eye. From her observations of Xu Jin’s strength, she realized that none of these seed players from Da Chen National Daoist School stood a chance in a one-on-one encounter with Xu Jin.

Two against one?

It was hard to say; she still knew too little about Xu Jin.

Hence, Liu Qingzhu was genuinely praying that they would not encounter Xu Jin too soon.

However, some people had different ideas.

In the Da Chen National Daoist School spectator area, Lv Kun was not only tense, but also somewhat excited.

The chance for revenge was in this third test.

He eagerly anticipated that Yan Chen, Yuan Feiqing, Guan Li, and others would encounter Xu Jin early on, kill Xu Jin, and put an end to his future prospects.

Only then could he get some satisfaction.

Under the banner of Jinshan Taoist Institute, Ning Yuchan was also watching the Starlight rankings in the sky, observing the constantly flashing and changing scores, slightly anxious.

This was the battle of examination.

This battle would not only determine the future of her disciples but also her own destiny.

And this year’s batch of disciples was the closest she felt to seizing that opportunity.

In the Wilderness Secret Realm, thirty minutes passed by in a flash.

During the first fifteen minutes, Xu Jin encountered three people, and in the second fifteen minutes, he encountered four, with no suspense, all were slain.

The points gained were not many; the four people encountered in the second fifteen minutes yielded just over nine points in total.

His score reached fifty-four points.

All were relatively weak players who had barely managed to pass the second test with scores in the teens.

Suddenly, the entire Wilderness Battlefield seemed to be shaken as the distant hills and forests rapidly approached.

Xu Jin realized that it was the start of the third quarter of an hour, and the entire map of the wilderness had shrunk by half.
