The end of year examination for first-year students was not very different this year compared to prior years.
There was a mantra that had begun circulating in the school a long time ago:
First and second-year students dealt with wild beasts.
Third and fourth-year students dealt with mosquitoes.
Fifth-year students dealt with beautiful women.
As for wild beasts, this was, of course, referring to the Myriad Mountain Realm in the Kingdom of the Nine States.
All sorts of ferocious beasts inhabited the realm, with mass outbreaks of wild beasts from time to time attacking the Stone Dragon State, which was the southernmost state of the Kingdom of the Nine States.
Human cultivators were, of course, no slouches themselves, often organizing large hunting parties to hunt for beasts in the mountains.
Some mutant beasts were like walking treasure troves, all their body parts were fantastic raw materials for pill and tool refinement.
