The astonishing scene left not only outsiders like Estina in shock and awe, but even those organizing the examination, such as Meng Wei, Qin Mu, and Xia Ling, were taken aback.

"Half the families in the city have probably sent their children to this examination," Meng Wei said, watching the number of people in line increase alongside the flying carriages descending from the sky. He felt like he was dreaming, filled with nothing but amazement.

When he initially joined the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, it was entirely because he felt that under Lin Qi's leadership, it might someday become a dominant power in the suburbs.

Who could have imagined that today, half of Chasing Light City's family offspring would come to participate in the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's examination? This scale could be compared only to the grand triennial Genius Training Camp assessments.

"I'm glad I joined early; otherwise, getting into the martial hall's Defense Corps now would be impossible," Xia Ling said as she looked at the martial artists' offspring in line, thankful for her decision. If she had been any later, joining the current Defense Corps would have been a major issue given her talent.

As more flying cars landed outside the martial arts hall, a convoy of flying transport vehicles also slowly parked on the street outside the hall, quickly drawing everyone's attention in the area.

From ten flying transport vehicles, two to three hundred young human men and women disembarked. Some were martial artists, others were aspiring martial artists. Regardless, all of them had considerable Qi and blood, clearly having trained with effective techniques.

The leaders were Wu Zhuoqun and Lin Yan, both well-known captains in the Defense Corps for the human race.

"Has Old Xiang gone mad? To strengthen the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, he's brought all the prospective geniuses from Yunxia Town. Is he betting everything on Hall Master Lin?" Lutode asked, watching the young human men and women lining up, thoroughly surprised.

Although the human race's influence in Chasing Light City had diminished, Yunxia Town, being a crucial hub, still produced considerable talent each year. While few made it into the Genius Training Camp, many joined the city Defense Corps, becoming vice-captains and captains, granting the human race substantial influence within the Defense Corps.

Bringing all of Yunxia Town's prospective geniuses to the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is equivalent to creating a generational gap for the human race in the city Defense Corps. Consequently, many external resources will be out of reach for the human race.

Even if the City Lord's decree designated Lin Qi as the deputy city lord of Chasing Light City this morning, the human race would struggle to compete, as the work is all done by Defense Corps members and captains. Lin Qi couldn't personally intervene.

While various forces considered this move of the human race as madness, Wu Zhuoqun and Lin Yan, who arranged the human talents, also entered the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to meet Lin Qi.

"Greetings, Hall Master Lin, I am Wu Zhuoqun, whom you contacted last night," Wu Zhuoqun respectfully said, looking at Lin Qi, who was retrieving players' memory inheritance in the lounge. "We have results on the matter you entrusted us to investigate."

"The members of the Defense Corps are indeed efficient in their investigations," Lin Qi remarked, opening his eyes to look at Wu Zhuoqun with curiosity. "I'm curious which major power is generous enough to hire the Red Moon Commerce to assassinate me?"

Wu Zhuoqun shook his head, hesitating slightly as he spoke, "Our investigation didn't point to any major power; it was actually Isaac, the leader of the White Feather Gang."
