Karun stood up from his chair, but then his head suddenly became dizzy. The dizziness was beyond his imagination, and he lost his balance and fell forward onto the desk.

At this moment, Puerh, who heard the noise in the next bedroom, rode Kevin into the study and saw Karun in this state. Puerh immediately jumped onto the desk and rang the bell.

"Karun, what's wrong with you?"

"Overexerted."

"Hmm... What did you do?"

Karun felt helpless. The reason for his exhaustion was strange. Was it because he overexerted himself during his practice?

But that was the truth. He immersed himself in the practice all night long, and during this entire night, the key to the magic cube kept turning. Even though Karun had accumulated a considerable amount of spiritual power, after such a long period of consumption, it was completely depleted.

When he tried to stand up, he was overwhelmed by severe fatigue and exhaustion.

Shili pushed open the study door and walked in, exclaiming, "Young master, what happened to you?"

She hurriedly went forward to support Karun.

"He's too tired..." Puerh said.

"Young master, let me help you to rest," Shili said, supporting Karun into the bedroom.

When she was about to help Karun settle onto the bed, Puerh spoke up, "He won't get into bed without taking a bath."

"Bath?" Shili instinctively swallowed her saliva.

"Hurry up, help him wash, big butt!"

"Oh, okay, okay!"

By now, Karun's consciousness had become somewhat blurred, allowing Shili to support him into the bathroom.

Shili took off Karun's clothes and helped him sit in the bathtub, then started running hot water.

Puerh sat on the sink and saw that Shili was hesitating with her actions. Puerh directly said, "Hurry up and help him wash. If you want to touch you, let you touch. Be faster!"

Karun was already in this state, and Puerh really had no interest in arguing about whether a maid should help him take a bath. It just hoped that Karun could rest as soon as possible.

After washing, drying his body, and helping the young master put on his pajamas, Shili supported Karun to the bedside and settled him on the bed.

She had good physical strength, so it wasn't too tiring to take care of a man who was almost unconscious. She even felt a bit unsatisfied.

The young master's skin is much smoother than mine.

"Do you need some food prepared?" Shili asked.

"No need, let him sleep comfortably," Puerh said.

"Okay, then I'll leave first. Ring the bell if you need anything."

"Okay, go ahead, big butt."

After Shili left the bedroom, Puerh came to Karun's pillow and reached out its cat paw to gently touch Karun's hair.

Kevin also approached the bedside and looked at Karun's condition.

"He has learned the magic cube of the Guman family," Puerh said.

Kevin nodded.

"He actually practiced all night and overexerted himself without even realizing it. It seems that the practice effect is very good, right?"

Kevin continued to nod.

The upper half of the door between the study and the bedroom was frosted glass, so light could pass through. Puerh had slept last night while watching the light and shadows in the study. It felt like the atmosphere lights in a ballroom.

It was like this before it went to sleep, and it found that the lights were still "on" after waking up.

"Tsk tsk." Puerh clicked its mouth twice. "You know, I'm increasingly admiring Dis."

Kevin smiled bitterly when he heard this.

It was because of Dis' existence that he, a mighty evil god, had fallen to his current state.

When that man, after knowing his existence, didn't react with awe but instead wanted to kill him, it was his first reaction.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

"Yes, I also found out that the belief systems established by other ancestral families were meant to better preserve and continue the family lineage. But Dis is different. He started with blood sacrifice rituals, not just to ensure that the Inmoleis family, except for Karun, would always stay away from the church circle. He was paving the way.

Regardless of whether the characteristics of the Inmoleis family's belief system are cultivation or plunder, these characteristics that almost break the boundaries of common sense cannot be continued.

The prerequisite for awakening this bloodline characteristic is that the bloodline itself is a genius on the same level as an ancestor, which means that in the future, only Karun's descendants with talents reaching the same level as Karun can awaken the ancestral Dis' family belief system.

This family belief system simply cannot be passed down."

The requirements are too high, the demands are too high, and the prerequisites are too high. They are so high that even if the base number is large enough, it hardly affects the probability. The birth of a genius relies on luck and fate. One in two people or one in ten thousand people, although the latter seems to have a higher probability, it is essentially a difference between 1 and 0.

This also means that this family belief system simply cannot be passed down. Even if there are occasional generations without geniuses, it can almost be declared as a generational break.

"Woof!"

Yes, Dis probably didn't even intend to continue this lineage. He just used this method to help Karun. This is the family belief system that Dis designed specifically for Karun."

"Woof!"

Yes, he really spared no effort for this grandson. This is also the reason why you desperately searched for that egg for him. You have made your choice, silly dog."

Kevin showed a simple and honest smile.

"That's good. At least you have a reason to accept being a dog yourself. Actually, I don't have such a strong attachment to the Allen family and the bond with Karun anymore. The Allen Manor can be a delicate little ornament for Karun.

Even if it's not worn, it can be placed in a drawer. It's okay to occasionally see it when the drawer is opened."

"Woof! Woof!"

"You don't need to comfort me. I'm not disappointed either. Life is like an adventure. When you feel like you're drifting in despair, holding onto the deck in the middle of the sea, you can always see islands appearing in front of you, even if they are mirages."Okay, okay, let him rest. We won't talk about it anymore. I asked the radio fairy to buy you a statue of the Goddess Mills. He should be back soon. How about hanging the statue behind your doghouse?"

"Woof!"

"How can the portrait of your goddess be hung in the doghouse?"

"Woof!" Kevin nodded seriously.

Puerh slapped her forehead and sighed, "You're beyond help, you're no wonder the lifelong enemy of the Sea King."

...

Karun slept for two days straight.

The capacity of the reservoir was large, and similarly, it took a long time to refill after being drained. Fortunately, Puerh arranged for him to be fed some nutrients halfway through, so when he woke up, although he felt extremely hungry, it wasn't to an exaggerated extent.

"Phew..."

Karun took a deep breath and rubbed his hair. It was dark outside, and he checked the clock. It was four in the morning.

"You're awake."

Puerh climbed out of bed and sat on the blanket in front of Karun, carefully looking at him and asking, "Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Karun shook his head.

"Well, it's good to be diligent and strive for progress, but don't push yourself so hard next time during practice. But I also know that saying this is equivalent to nothing because I have also experienced the feeling of improving one's realm with a little effort. After all, true talent is expressed in declarative sentences: working hard leads to progress."

"I understand. I was too immersed this time. How long did I sleep?"

"Two days."

"The selection..."

"Don't worry, if you didn't wake up by dawn, I would have called you. The selection starts this morning. Oh, by the way, your teammate, Vani, called last night to inform you. They will drive over to pick you up for the exam."

"Are they giving me a ride?"

"Yes, your teammates are really enthusiastic."

"Yes."

Karun got out of bed, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and after washing up, he walked to the kitchen and made himself a big bowl of noodles.

After finishing his meal, he sat for a while. When it was already getting light outside, he finally felt that his body had been adjusted to its optimal state.

With time still early, Karun walked to the study and sat down. He saw the book "Rogate Manor" that he had finished reading a few days ago on the table.

He opened his palm, and a Rubik's Cube appeared, but he quickly waved his hand, interrupting the spell.

Puerh walked into the study, jumped onto the back of Karun's chair, and extended her claws to massage his shoulders.

Although the strength was not enough, the intention was sufficient. After all, this was a service from Miss Pall.

"Don't be nervous, perform normally, you'll be fine."

"Are you here to comfort me or mock me?"

"Both, I don't think you have any possibility of not being selected unless all the spots are predetermined."

At this moment, Alfred pushed open the door and walked in, holding clothes in his hand.

"Alfred, help me change into a looser robe."

"Yes, young master."

Alfred brought over a set of robes one size larger. Previously, when Karun went to the coupon store to buy robes, he had to carefully calculate the prices while looking at a pile of options. But now, conditions were better, and the number of robes in the family's reserves gradually increased.

After changing into the robe, Karun tried using a Rubik's Cube in the sleeve. Since it didn't have any offensive capabilities and only provided deduction results to the user, simple concealment was enough.

After all, it was impossible for the examination room to be completely silent with so many people. They were all young priests, using their own methods to deal with the test. So a little fluctuation in magic wouldn't arouse suspicion.

"Young master, this bag contains chocolates, biscuits, water, some potions, and your identification."

Potions probably wouldn't be allowed in the examination room.

"Then let Miss Vani hold them. I'm worried that you might need them when you come out of the exam."

Vani and Pall came to send him off, so there was no need for Alfred to go.

"Okay, sure."

Pik came to inform them that Vani and Pall's car had arrived.

Karun carried the bag and walked outside the shop. Today, the two women were driving a luxury car, exactly the same style as the one they used for missions. Karun remembered that the captain had mentioned that he wanted to assemble a car exactly like it.

"The captain's car?" Karun asked after getting in.

"Yes, the captain spent a lot of money to assemble it."

"That will be much more convenient in the future," Karun said.

Pall turned her head and looked at Karun, asking, "Are you nervous, Karun?"

"I'm not nervous."

"It's okay if you are. By the way, I heard that doing that thing before the exam can effectively relieve nervousness."

"What thing?"

Karun, who had just slept for two days, hadn't caught up with the conversation pace yet.

Pall licked her lips.

"Forget it, you don't need it. I'm not nervous to begin with. Besides, if you release too much pressure, you might become indifferent to the results when you enter the exam room."

"Hehehe." Pall laughed as she started the car.

Instead of going directly to the academic affairs building, the car stopped at the entrance of the Guman family's house.

Sitting in the car, Karun saw Richard coming out with a bag on his back. His face still had bruises, but being able to walk with the bag proved that there were no major problems. It seemed that Mr. Eisen accurately grasped the recovery progress and effect of that white worm.

He beat his son again, relieved his condition, and didn't delay the main business. A win-win situation.

Richard's departure was much more grandiose. Mr. Delong, Mrs. Tangli, Kaixi, Mr. Eisen, as well as Richard's aunt, uncle, and cousin all gathered to send him off.

Richard greeted everyone as he walked towards the car. After getting in and closing the door, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Karun, I've always felt that at such a young age, I've borne the weight that is difficult to bear in life.""Exaggerated."

"Sigh, I know my grandfather has always had high expectations of me. You have it much easier. Oh no, I'm sorry, I misspoke."

Richard remembered that Karun was an orphan.

"It's okay."

Karun patted his shoulder, "Your grandfather only expects you to maintain the status of the Guman family, but my grandfather expects me to..."

"I don't know if I can make it." Richard pursed his lips, "When we enter the venue, let's stay close. Even if they assign us to different areas, I'll try to see the array before entering and tell you the preliminary results."

"Okay, just follow me closely then. Even if we are assigned to different areas, we should be in the same general environment. With the connection of the array, try to sense me, just like last time in front of your grandfather."

"Huh?"

"What do you mean 'huh'? Just do as I say."

"Last time at my grandfather's place, wasn't it just an illusion I had in the illusion?"

"No, it wasn't."

"I... then... doesn't that mean..."

"Yes."

A look of ecstasy appeared on Richard's face, but then he lowered his head and said, "But I don't want to cheat."

"This isn't cheating."

"It's not cheating?"

"When we enter the examination room, they will definitely check and arrange us to prevent external interference. So, as long as they don't detect you cheating, you're not cheating."

"Can it be interpreted like that?"

"Yes."

"But I still feel weird about it."

"Just take it easy. Think about it, if you can't even get into the York City regional selection, your father when you go back..."

"Hiss..."

Richard didn't consider this as cheating. Everyone would use whatever means they had during the test, as long as they could pass the test with their own abilities.

Richard could sense him because of the bloodline of the Alt family in his body, which could sense people with close blood relations.

This was something inherent in their bloodline. They couldn't possibly be asked to remove it before entering the examination room, could they?

Mr. Aisen had become introverted because of this bloodline. The previous "Karun" had also encountered the same situation. The Alt family line was almost cursed because of the bloodline. Now, it was finally their turn to enjoy a meal of Vien sauce pancakes.

In the church circle, using the power of bloodline and faith was a very normal thing. It was one of their own strengths. Everyone either sought help from God or from the ancestors. It just so happened that the person Richard sought help from was taking the test with him.

"Wow, Karun, how did you do it?"

Karun ignored him and began to close his eyes and rest. What did it have to do with him? It was Richard who had come to him for help.

Of course, protecting Richard was equivalent to Karun bearing the pressure of two people. But he was still willing to help Richard because this cousin was really flawless in his treatment of him.

The car arrived at the administration building.

When they got out of the car, Karun saw that the captain and the whole team were actually waiting here.

"Go for it, Karun, Richard, our whole team is praying for you!"

Richard was moved to tears and thanked everyone.

Karun, on the other hand, smiled and nodded to them in turn.

In addition, Karun also noticed that there were quite a few people gathered here this time. Some were sent by their families. The robes worn by the elders were of high quality. People with family backgrounds naturally had more resources. It was easier for them to make greater progress than ordinary people at a young age.

There were also some who came alone. No one was nervous. They all seemed very calm.

After all, those who could get a quota were either absolutely excellent and recommended, or their family connections were strong enough. And there was one more point. Because the test was risky, those pure wastes, no matter how strong their connections were, would not be stuffed in. Because accidents could really happen.

Richard was carrying a bag on his back and also carrying a bag for Karun.

After entering the administration building, someone specifically arranged for them to go to the basement. It seemed that the examination room was not in the administration building, but needed to be teleported.

"Karun!"

Leon greeted Karun and walked over with Laure.

There were quite a few young people waiting for the teleportation array. At a rough glance, there were nearly two hundred.

"Such a large scale?"

This number was somewhat inconsistent with the quota that old man Delong had worked so hard to get.

Leon explained, "Because more than half of them, their parents or they themselves, are only assigned to our region, but they are not here and are not under our region's control. For example, the garrison, the knight group, and some external agencies. Many people here have rushed back to York City to participate in this selection."

"Oh, I see."

So, the quota left for the people of York City region was not much.

"How's your preparation?" Leon asked.

"Not bad."

Laure said, "Oh, you sound so confident?"

Karun smiled. Was this considered overconfidence? Then what would it be considered if he said he was prepared to bring a drag along?

At this moment, a deep voice came from above:

"All candidates for the selection, please enter the D-1 teleportation circle in order and prepare for the teleportation to the examination room."

The scene instantly quieted down, and everyone stepped into the teleportation array.

Karun stood still, and Richard, who was carrying two bags, was taking deep breaths.

A flash of white light covered everyone present.

The York City regional selection test,

Is about to begin!
