This year, Honghe First Middle School had three sites for the rating exams.
To ensure fairness and protect candidate confidentiality, all students would take their assessment in individual, enclosed training rooms.
Outside Examination Room 3 at Honghe First Middle School, Xu Wuyi checked the display and saw it was almost his turn.
The examination room was spacious and bright, no different from a standard training hall, but the walls shimmered with a faint, energetic glow, a clear sign they had been specially reinforced.
In one corner of the room sat a specialized, high-precision Life Energy Level Tester.
Directly ahead, three proctors in dark blue uniforms were seated. Each wore the insignia of the Dongjiang Province Martial Arts Education Department on their chest.
Before Xu Wuyi entered, the three were conversing in low voices.
"The overall standard in Red River City has always been in the lower-middle tier, historically speaking."
