A group of people descended the mountain, and at this point, no one dared to underestimate Zhao Mu anymore.
The top student in both the Written Exam and Martial Trial for this year's camp trial was actually a guy with E-rank Talent and Dou Level 2. It was truly astonishing!
However, Liu Weiguo Liu Weiguo and several instructors had a clear view of Zhao Mu's performance.
His cultural depth, his outstanding mindset on the wild battlefield, and his tactical execution ability all deserved full marks!
As the group descended the mountain, Zhang Biao waited at the exit with a group from the Discipline Inspection Department.
Bai Meimei stood with her arms crossed, her gaze coldly sweeping over everyone.
When she saw Zhao Mu, her gaze only lingered for an extra second before quickly returning to indifference.
Bai Meimei had seen too many Geniuses; she herself was one.
Although Zhao Mu's performance was somewhat impressive to her, it was only a little bit.
Genius is only useful when it grows; otherwise, it just wastes resources.
Zhang Biao said, "Now, everyone, hand in your number tags. We will tally them and then rank and score them."
Very few people came down from the mountain this time. Due to Zhao Mu setting the mountain on fire twice, and the presence of the Golden Elephant City Large Corps and Meng Qiuqiu, the
Many promising seed players, such as Lin Meier and Wu Gang, unfortunately, failed to make it to the end.
Therefore, only about fifty people eventually walked out of the Trial Ground.
Clearly, regardless of how many number tags they held, they had all successfully advanced.
The results of the tally quickly came out: Zhao Mu had acquired 658 number tags! This was more than a quarter of the total number of Trial Participants, making him undoubtedly the first-place winner of the Martial Trial!
Zhang Biao's gaze at him was also full of praise.
The second place went to Meng Qiuqiu. This pay-to-win player, adhering to the principle of just passing the trial, didn't actually engage in too much combat.
He held 57 number tags, ranking second, and scratched his head sheepishly, smiling at Zhao Mu, "I'm ashamed, I'm far behind you as the second place."
As for the subsequent rankings, there was nothing much to see, as they were all scattered, some even in single digits.
Golden Elephant City's mentality was quite good; although he only had one number tag, if he couldn't get first, then there was no difference between second and last.
"Zhao Mu, I was beaten quite badly by you, cough cough, look, hahaha, I'm spitting blood again. I'm going to the infirmary first, see you later!"
He was still able to smile and greet Zhao Mu while lying on a stretcher.
Zhao Mu couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of someone from a large Family, he truly understands social etiquette."
Golden Elephant City was very smart and had high emotional intelligence; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to gather over fifty people to form a Large Corps.
If it weren't for the monster Zhao Mu appearing this year, he would have been the undisputed first place.
Afterward, Zhao Mu smoothly joined the Qingfeng Camp. If targeting was hopeless, then turning enemies into friends was the wisest approach.
Instructor Xie Yingxue and Xu Zhixiong also arrived outside the Trial Ground. Instructor Xie Yingxue held a folder containing the tallied scores for this trial.
The Written Exam and Martial Trial were combined.
"This year's Qingfeng Camp entry trial, Phase Two, concludes here! All 51 people present have passed the trial! You may go back and prepare; report officially tomorrow!"
"Furthermore, here, you have the honor of witnessing a Trial Participant who achieved a perfect score! He broke Qingfeng Camp's 30-year record! 40 points in the Written Exam, 80 points in the Martial Trial! A perfect score of 120 points!"
"He is Zhao Mu!!"
Instructor Xie Yingxue looked at Zhao Mu, her eyes full of admiration, which was extremely rare in Qingfeng Camp.
Even Bai Meimei, Xu Zhixiong, and Zhang Biao all turned their heads to look.
Bai Meimei muttered in a low voice, "When did Instructor Xie become so gentle?"
Warm applause erupted, many people applauding sincerely.
But some people showed expressions of jealousy.
"He's only great at the trial. With E-rank Talent, how far can he go in the future? Just wait and see! Joining Qingfeng Camp is just the first step; who is strong and who is weak will depend on the future."
Zhao Mu accepted the applause from the crowd, smiling as he raised his hand, "Reporting, Instructor Xie! Do I get any reward?"
Instructor Xie Yingxue closed her folder with a'snap' and smiled, "No."
A burst of laughter immediately erupted from the scene, and Zhao Mu's eye twitched.
"Then my perfect score..."
Bai Meimei frowned and shouted, "Silence!"
The scene fell silent.
Instructor Xie Yingxue had a smile on her lips.
There were naturally no direct rewards, but when Zhao Mu broke a thirty-year-old record, he would naturally enter the vision of all high-ranking officials in the entire Qingfeng Camp.
Even his name would be noticed by people in the upper circles of Lujiang City.
In his future training at Qingfeng Camp, the resources he would receive would also surpass others.
However, Instructor Xie Yingxue would not openly state these things in front of everyone, also to prevent Zhao Mu from becoming arrogant right after joining the camp.
Instructor Xie Yingxue clapped her hands, "Alright, you can all go back now! However, if you want to stay and watch the loser's bracket competition, you're welcome to!"
After speaking, the instructors and members of the Discipline Inspection Department no longer bothered with them and turned to leave.
"Loser's bracket competition? I understand."
Zhao Mu quickly figured out the logic.
Too few people passed the trial this year, but among those eliminated, there were also some good prospects.
It was impossible to only recruit fifty-something people for 160 slots, so they could only hold additional playoffs to screen from the eliminated participants.
Zhao Mu just wanted to find Aunt Bu at this moment to tell her the good news that he had passed the trial with a perfect score.
But as soon as she arrived, she disappeared. Zhao Mu decided to wait at the school gate.
Meng Qiuqiu approached, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Zhao Mu, causing Zhao Mu to instinctively take half a step back.
Seeing this, Meng Qiuqiu's eyes looked a little hurt.
"Are you serious about taking half a step back? I really want to be your best friend!"
Zhao Mu extended his hand in a gesture of rejection, "I don't have that kind of special preference."
"What are you thinking?"
Meng Qiuqiu rolled his eyes, "I'm straight, okay! I just wanted to say, where are you going later? I can give you a ride. I saw you came by tractor this morning; if it's a long way, your butt will get sore from the bumps."
Zhao Mu's mouth twitched, but he suddenly remembered that on the way here, he was so preoccupied with how to get back that he forgot about the return trip.
"Well then, I'll respectfully accept."
He didn't stand on ceremony with Meng Qiuqiu at all.
The group walked towards the campus exit. Zhao Mu looked at Zhuo Yun and the other bodyguards beside Meng Qiuqiu and tentatively asked, "Are they also people arranged by your Family to come in?"
Meng Qiuqiu shook his head, "No! Only Zhuo Yun is the grandson of an old soldier my Family knows well. He transferred from Jiangzhou City to participate in the trial with me."
"The others are all Trial Participants from the same cohort; I just paid them to team up with me."
"Now that the trial is over, they don't need to follow me anymore."
