Wei He spent two days to successfully refine the Xuanxiao Umbrella into his own natal magic weapon, just in time for this quarterly exam.
Quarterly test scores determine class allocation and the share of training resources. Students without family backgrounds can only rely on their scores to obtain relatively abundant training resources. Wei He's ancestor was originally a weapon refiner, but unfortunately he had no successors and eventually fell into decline. In this era of thin spiritual energy, there are fewer and fewer high-level monks, and the inheritance is gradually lost.
"You don't want to take part in this quarterly exam." Wei He stared at Yuan Chu with a serious expression.
"Not participating is equivalent to abstaining, and you will be assigned to class five." The college can usually ask for leave, but you cannot be absent from the exam. Even if an unexpected situation occurs, you can only wait for the next exam to get your place back. Of course, exceptions to this rule are made for extremely talented students.
"If you give up, you will give up. As long as the foundation is still there, you can come back sooner or later." Wei He has played with Yuan Chu, and he knows very well how skilled and flexible she is in using spells. I am afraid that no one at the same level can be her opponent. .
"Don't worry, my injury is almost healed." Yuan Chu comforted, "If I am unable to do what I want during the exam, I will take the initiative to admit defeat."
Wei He gave her a "do you think I would believe it?" look.
"The important thing is," Yuanchu added, "I want to be in the same class as you."
Wei He: "..." He flirts with people even if they don't agree with each other. How can he refuse? So angry!
In the end, Yuan Chu and Wei He, who looked unhappy, went to the examination room to get their examination number, and were included in the quarterly examination list. The names of the other seventy-five candidates appeared on the big screen in the square.
The exam officially started in the afternoon. The exam was divided into three sessions. One was about mental approach, the second was about breaking the law, and the third was about competition. All candidates’ exam procedures will be displayed on the big screen, leaving no chance of cheating. The seventy-seven candidates were all students who obtained the natal magic weapon during this quarter, and it was basically the first time for them to take this kind of competitive examination. The top ten students can enter a class, and students who are outside the top ten will be transferred out of a class.
In front of the square, thousands of students gathered to watch the exam.
The first concern is the path, which tests the state of mind and cultivation experience. The purer the mind, the stronger the will, the deeper the understanding, the longer the distance traveled.
"Wei He, this level shouldn't be difficult for you." Sang Rong said with a thoughtful expression on his face.
In "Future Memory", Wei He is the furthest among all the candidates. Even though he was unwilling to do so, he still had some self-awareness and had no intention of competing with him mentally. With his current level of cultivation, I believe he will have the upper hand in the next two exams.
"Dear candidates, please enter your mind one by one." The invigilator reminded in a loud voice.
The door to the void opened, revealing a white entrance, and the candidates stepped in with curiosity and trepidation.
In front of every candidate is a mental road leading to the unknown. On this mental road, one can only walk alone and explore oneself.
At the beginning, there was chaos and silence all around, without a trace of life.
As long as you take the first step, the world will undergo earth-shaking changes. The seven emotions and six desires, good and evil, good and evil, thoughts, delusional thoughts and prayers... the complex human heart and the perception of life will all be presented in a concrete form.
On the big screen, seventy-seven candidates took the first step one after another.
Take one step and reveal your true heart.
The wind and clouds above my head are changing color, and my feet are as heavy as a thousand stones.
The weaknesses hidden in the depths are magnified infinitely.
In just two minutes, six or seven candidates were sent out because of excessive emotions in the first step, and scored "1".
Based on the distance traveled, the big screen begins to update the rankings in real time.
Relying on the realization of "one more life", Sang Rong made it to the seventh step without any danger, but when he reached the eighth step, he could not move forward no matter what. He thought of his failure in his "previous life", was jealous of Wei He's amazing talent, and longed to be admired and worshiped by the world. However, he had the desire to become a god, but he did not have the talent and will to become a god, and he indulged in the beautiful fantasy of reaching the sky in one step. In the end, he was defeated by himself, and all the futility turned into nothing.
In the blink of an eye, he had been teleported out of his mind. His face was full of fear and cowardice, and his body could not stop shaking. Looking up, his name stopped at the seventh step on the ranking list on the screen, exactly the same as in his "previous life".
Looking at Wei He again, he had already reached the ninth step.
Sang Rong's face turned ugly, and the fire of jealousy spread crazily in his heart. He knew that he might not be able to surpass Wei He mentally, but why had he made no progress despite being born in two lifetimes? ! He is not willing to give in! Wei He's talents and opportunities in this life are not as good as his own, so what can he use to fight against himself
Sang Rong clenched his fists, a sinister look flashed in his eyes.
At this time, Wei He took his tenth step again, but the person ranked first was not him.
The word "original" climbed up step by step at an extremely stable speed, and finally reached the first place.
She was always one step ahead of Wei He, who was ranked second.
Wei He took eleven steps and she took twelve steps.
Wei He took twelve steps and she took thirteen steps.
The third place below them has just taken its ninth step.
There was a commotion in the square. Looking at the two people walking step by step, it seemed that they had not reached their limit.
All eyes are on the small screen of the two.
Wei He stopped at the twelfth step. His muscles were tense, he was dripping with cold sweat, and his eyes were changing, as if he was suffering from great pain. What he saw in front of him seemed real and illusory, making him fall into confusion. He saw in a trance that his father died tragically in a car accident, and his mother gave birth to him with serious injuries, leaving her with a lot of pain. He tried his best to raise medical expenses. When he was in trouble, Sang Rong suddenly appeared and used a sum of money to buy the right to use the Wei family's old house for four years. Wei He should thank him, but subconsciously he always felt that something was wrong. Until he found the information left by his ancestor deep in his memory. The treasures and inheritance belonging to the Wei family were hidden underground in the old house of the Wei family.
He should have obtained these things, successfully overcome the difficulties, and restored the glory of his ancestors. However, these all changed because of Sang Rong's intervention. Not only did he steal things from the Wei family, he also made himself feel grateful to him.
No, this is all an illusion, not real! How did Sang Rong know that there was a treasure hidden in the Wei family's old house? But his appearance is strange, making people suspicious. How could Sang Rong help a stranger with whom he had rarely met for no reason
The seeds of doubt were buried in his heart and gradually grew. The branches and leaves stretched out wantonly, piercing into Wei He's flesh and blood and tearing his soul apart.
Yuan Chu paused in his steps and turned his head to look into the depths of chaos, his deep eyes flickering.
Tiandao took action again.
It wanted Wei He to plant inner demons out of anger.
With a flick of Yuan Chu's finger, a burst of spiritual power broke through the chaos and entered Wei He's forehead.
Wei He's mind suddenly became clear, and the figure of his mother lying on the hospital bed appeared in front of him. She relaxed on the pillow, smiled and chatted with the nurse, with a peaceful expression on her sickly face.
Mother…
The turbulent emotions in Wei He's eyes gradually calmed down, and the anger filling his heart gradually dissipated.
If the treasure is taken away, it can be taken back again. As long as the people he values are well, he has nothing to fear and does not need to care about temporary gains and losses. There is still a long way to go.
At this time, another girl's figure appeared next to her mother's bed. She arched her eyebrows and smiled, taking a knife and peeling the fruit slowly, then cut it into small pieces, inserted a signature, and handed it to her mother. After all this last night, she suddenly raised her head, as if she could see him, and looked at him from a distance, her smiling eyes always as bright as stars.
Wei He's inner lake rippled, the chaotic world suddenly became clear, and the boulder pressing on him suddenly shattered.
He looked at her steadily and took the thirteenth step steadily. It seemed that something was broken. He felt that his body was extremely relaxed and the world was extremely vast.
"Wow~~" Exclaims arose one after another in the square, and they looked at the two names tied for first place in shock.
Yuan Chu smiled slightly: Take a few more steps forward.
She took the fourteenth step, and Wei He followed closely behind.
Fifteen steps, sixteen steps, seventeen steps... five steps in a row, not stopping until twenty-one steps.
The third player was teleported out in the twelfth step, and there were only two shining names left on the big screen.
about there.
Yuanchu closed his eyes, his figure blurred, and the next second, he appeared at the entrance to his mind.
Wei He arrived shortly afterwards, with nothing unusual on his face, only a hint of understanding and calmness, and his eyes looking at Yuan Chu were astonishingly bright.
"I made a breakthrough." He whispered casually.
"Congratulations." Yuan Chu gave him a smile that said, "I knew you could do it."
The corners of Wei He's mouth curled up uncontrollably, and the suppressed joy bloomed in his heart at this moment.
"The mental test is over, and the results are on the screen. Everyone must have seen it. Now, prepare for the second exam." The invigilator's voice sounded at the right time, calling all the candidates together and announcing the precautions for the second exam.
To break the method, the main consideration is the candidate's understanding and application of battle methods and spells.
In the trial space, 108 formations are arranged, including attack, defense, auxiliary, treatment, illusion and other types. The more formations passed, the higher the score, and you can form a team (but the number of people in the team cannot exceed three) , exchange information, or create traps and obstacles for others. Except for not killing people, any method that does not violate the rules is allowed. The test lasts three hours.
"Wei He, let's form a team." Sang Rong came over with Qiu Luoshui and suggested with a smile.
"No." Wei He responded coldly, "I have decided to form a team with Yuanchu."
Qiu Luoshui said displeased: "A team of three people has a better chance of winning than a team of two people. Are you not afraid of being dragged down by teaming up with her?"
Wei He: "She ranks first in mental performance."
Qiu Luoshui: "..." Ma Dan, there is no refutation! How could this seemingly weak little girl achieve such a high score! She and Sang Rong only scored 6 and 7 points, ranking 19th and 12th respectively.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked at Sang Rong beside her. She originally thought that his performance would be more outstanding, but she was disappointed. His performance did not match his current cultivation level at all.
"In that case, forget it." Sang Rong waved his hand pretending not to care, "We can also cooperate when we get to the trial space."
Wei He responded noncommittally, a flash of thought flashing in his eyes. The scene he saw in his mind may not be his imagination. Before Sang Rong appeared, he had already found some clues left by the ancestor of the Wei family, but before he could take action, the old house was bought.
After careful consideration, Sang Rong's behavior is indeed worthy of scrutiny.
Let’s wait until the exam is over. Wei He may not pursue those properties, but he will never allow the Wei family inheritance to fall into the hands of others.
After the rest time, the candidates entered the trial space of breaking the law and began the second exam.
"Yuanchu, follow me and try not to take action." Wei He did not forget that Yuanchu was injured. In order not to aggravate her injury, he planned to help her clear the obstacles and let her score easily.
The first formation the two encountered was the Limu Formation, which was a relatively basic attack formation. Wei He's fire attribute is perfect against wood, and he can easily break through the formation without taking out the Xuanxiao Umbrella. At first, all he had to do was watch him perform.
Sang Rong and Qiu Luoshui were also watching not far away. After Wei He broke the formation, they immediately ran over and rushed into the formation before it could be repaired.
Wei He just glanced at them and didn't say much. Before they broke the formation, he led Yuan Chu to continue looking for the second formation.
Wei He had already broken through to the foundation-building stage in the Heart Path Trial just now, and with the addition of the middle-grade magic weapon Xuanxiao Umbrella, he had almost passed the test along the way.
But every time the formation is broken, the level will increase by one level. The first hour is the scoring stage. After the level increases, it will not be easy to score points. If you are seriously injured or endangered before the end of the exam, you will be teleported out.
In order to minimize the chance of the original attack, Wei He started a crazy point-sweeping mode, specializing in formations that no one had ever broken. This approach caused a burst of boos from the people watching the live broadcast in the square.
The two people who performed brilliantly in the mental test actually adopted this low-level method of scoring points in the second test. One of them even cheated the whole process, and the accumulated score was far higher than the other candidates. It was really funny. Angry again.
Wei He didn't care, as long as Yuan Chu stayed quietly under his protection.
"Don't you feel embarrassed?" When Wei He went to break the formation alone again, Qiu Luoshui came to Yuanchu and mocked, "Other students are taking the exam seriously, but you stand by and enjoy the results, don't you feel embarrassed? ?"
Yuan Chu glanced at her in confusion: What position did the person following to pick up the leaks have to ridicule her
Qiu Luoshui didn't understand Yuan's look and continued, "If I were you, I wouldn't stay by Wei He's side and hold him back."
Yuan Chu Shicheng said: "You are not me, I just like to stay by Wei He's side."
"You!" Qiu Luoshui glared at you, "How shameless!"
I had never seen such a monster before, so I didn't care about such low-level curses from a little girl.
At this time, there was only a loud roar, and a figure shot out from the billowing smoke and landed next to Yuanchu.
"Broken?" Yuanchu asked.
Wei He closed the black umbrella and said, "It's broken."
Without waiting for Yuan's response, Sang Rong, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed into the formation and started a new round of picking up leaks.
The score obtained in this way will be one point lower than a normal break, but it does not violate the rules.
Qiu Luoshui glared at Yuanchu and ran in.
Wei He's eyes darkened slightly, signaling Yuan Chu: "Go quickly."
Yuanchu nodded, tiptoed, and jumped into the smoke and dust that had not yet dispersed.
The first thing to repair in the formation is the formation eye. As long as the newly repaired formation eye is destroyed, you can get the corresponding points.
When Yuan Chu entered the formation, Sang Rong had already successfully picked up the leak, while Qiu Luoshui was waiting for the formation eye to be repaired again. When she saw Yuan Chu coming over, a hint of evil flashed in her eyes, and she sent a message to Sang Rong: [Brother Sang Rong, teach me a lesson. Her?]
Sang Rong replied: [After the formation eye is repaired later, don’t take action yet. This is the Golden Thunder Formation, which mainly uses thunder and lightning attacks. After breaking the formation twice, its power will be greatly increased. I will use the Thunder Drawing Technique to deal with her then.]
Qiu Luoshui's eyes lit up, and her face showed an expression of watching a good show.
The original sound transmission can be heard: "..."
The air was quiet, and the three of them looked at each other in silence.
After a while, the array eyes gradually recovered, clouds and mist condensed, and lightning intertwined.
Sang Rong pinched his fingers and recited the incantation, with thunder clouds rolling above his head, he locked onto the original state and silently shouted: Go!
When the magic formula was struck, Yuanchu also moved. In the blink of an eye, only an afterimage was left on the spot, carrying a bunch of golden lightning and passing by Qiu Luoshui.
Qiu Luoshui only felt the strong wind blowing on her face. Before she could react, her brain suddenly shook, and countless tiny arcs flashed around her body. Her hair was burnt black, her skin cracked, her muscles spasmed, and her whole body twitched and fell to the ground.
Sang Rong stood frozen aside, so shocked that he didn't know how to react.
"Ah~~" Qiu Luoshui made a painful and angry voice.
Her injuries looked tragic, but in fact they were not serious. The golden thunder in the formation caused by Sang Rong's magic formula had limited lethality and would only leave the person who was attacked in a state of embarrassment.
Sang Rong walked over quickly and helped her up: "Are you okay?"
Qiu Luoshui opened her mouth, blew out a puff of black smoke, pushed him away, took out a healing pill with trembling hands, and put it into her mouth.
Sang Rong did not dare to look directly at the unrecognizable face. He turned his head and locked the original position again, intending to make up for it. However, when he completed the seal, the thundercloud above his head suddenly disappeared.
The formation's eye was broken.
Yuanchu didn't stop, he jumped a few times and disappeared into the formation.
Sang Rong: "..."
"I'm so angry!" Qiu Luoshui clenched her fists and said angrily, "I must be able to smash that little watch to death!"
Then, she glared at Sang Rong again, "You are already in the foundation building stage now. There is no need to follow Wei He to take advantage. Next, let's break the formation ourselves!"
The higher the formation level, the higher the score. The reason why they chose to pick up the leaks was mainly to conserve their physical strength in order to cope with the more difficult formations later.
The formations during this period have basically been upgraded, and it's time for them to start grabbing points.
Wei He spent a lot of mana in the early stage and was bound to be unsustainable in the later stage. What's more, he also brought a drag bottle, so he might never have a chance to score points again.
"How is it?" Wei He asked when he saw Yuan Chu coming out.
"Okay, let's go." Yuan Chu looked around and walked toward the northeast.
Wei He didn't think much and stepped to follow.
Passing by two formations, Yuanchu suddenly stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "There is a healing formation in front of you, why don't you go and replenish your spiritual energy first?"
Wei He looked up and found no healing array.
The healing array is a hidden array in the trial, which is equivalent to a safe house. Candidates with excessive wear and tear can quickly repair it inside, but this array is generally difficult to find.
Sang Rong and Qiu Luoshui also hoped that Wei He would be out of strength and would be overtaken by them. He never expected that he would be resurrected with full mana in just one moment of meditation.
The author has something to say: Sang Rong: There is a saying mmp that I don’t know whether to say or not.
