"Yeah, what’s up?" Tianmiao looked at the red-haired boy in front of her, clearly seeing the pride in his eyes.

"You were first in the first round; that won’t happen in the next one." The red-haired boy bit into a braised rib, confidence oozing from his brow, "Because I’ll definitely be first in the next round."

"Coming last and saying something like that to the first place, you really are bold." Lin Duoduo snorted, laughing mockingly.

"Generally speaking, the first round is a physical test, and the next round is a test of intelligence. Soon, I’ll show you what a true academic genius is." The red-haired boy arrogantly pointed to himself with his thumb.

"Save the bragging for after the test, you little brat who came in last." Lin Duoduo was initially quite curious about this red-haired boy, but seeing how boastful and arrogant he was now, she couldn’t resist mocking him.

"Hmph, second place has no right to speak." The red-haired boy glanced at Lin Duoduo, scoffing dismissively.

Lin Duoduo widened her eyes, staring at the person in disbelief. Is there something wrong with his brain? Where does the courage come from, for the last place, to say the second place has no right to speak?

Absolutely infuriating!

After finishing his meal, the red-haired boy turned and left without a care in the world, completely ignoring the fiery look in Lin Duoduo’s eyes.

"No need to get angry." Tianmiao looked at the fuming Lin Duoduo and smiled, "Just prove everything with actions." Tuoba Wu, this arrogant and conceited young boy, needs a good lesson from the real world.

"Yeah, yeah!" Lin Duoduo nodded vigorously, then suddenly frowned, "Sister Tianmiao, that little brat said the first round was physical, and the second is intelligence. He’s so confident; could he really be that sure?"

"What he said makes sense. Every year, the Demon Hunting Certificate test has three rounds. The first is usually physical, the second intelligence, and the third... that’s why we sign waivers before applying. You’ll find out then; for now, just prepare for the second round." Tianmiao looked at Lin Duoduo, "Duoduo, have you memorized the Demon Atlas?"

"Yes, I’ve memorized it all." Lin Duoduo nodded, "When I was young, my family was poor. After I awakened my superpower, I wanted to improve our conditions, but my grandma was worried. So she bought the Demon Atlas for me to read every day, to determine which ones I could handle and which I couldn’t. Grandma is really, really great."

"That’s good." Tianmiao smiled reassuringly, "Get some rest today, and prepare for tomorrow’s test. I believe Duoduo will definitely pass."

The next day, during the test, Lin Duoduo finally understood why Tianmiao had asked if she had memorized the Demon Atlas.

The second round was indeed a test of intelligence, but it wasn’t just a simple intelligence test.

The following day, all candidates, led by the examiners, entered a certain area and were given a pair of glasses. These were not ordinary glasses, but consciousness immersion glasses.

The examiners instructed everyone to put on their glasses. After confirming that no one was missing, one of the examiners pressed a button on the platform nearby.

A slight tremor underfoot suddenly introduced a special sensation of weightlessness. Everyone felt as if they were floating in space, and the candidates who had been standing around them seemed to have disappeared, as if they were now in an endless universe, surrounded by a vast starry river.
