The college will conduct a final assessment every year, and a comprehensive examination every three years, which will be participated by candidates from the three cultivation colleges in the Eastern Continent.
Wei He and Yuan Chu happened to take the comprehensive exam every three years. Hundreds of students who had reached the late stage of Qi refining gathered in Qilin Mountain to challenge tens of thousands of ghost soldiers, evil spirits, and ferocious beasts and Rakshasa. Qilin Mountain has a vast territory and complex terrain. It was once a battlefield for ancient cultivators. It has existed for hundreds of thousands of years. It retains the remnant souls, murderous thoughts and ferocity of countless fallen people. In order to prevent these harmful undead spirits from sweeping the continent , the entire battlefield is isolated by a barrier and is only open at specific times.
The undead in the battlefield barrier may be strong or weak, and most of them have no self-awareness, but it is not ruled out that they may encounter some special beings that are beyond common sense.
The assessment location for students is generally designated at the outer edge of the barrier, and nine teachers from three colleges are dispatched to ensure the fairness of the assessment and handle unexpected situations.
The place where you enter the barrier is random. Students you meet by chance can form a team, but the score will only be calculated based on how many undead each person kills. The undead can be resurrected indefinitely in the barrier, unless they are transcended or their form and spirit are destroyed. If you want to do this, your cultivation level must at least reach the stage of divine transformation.
"Look, the people from Wenxin Academy are here." A black-haired boy wearing a red badge pointed at the group of people approaching here and joked with a smile, "Yueli, you don't have to worry about being rear-ended this time. . ”
"Feng Hao, don't underestimate others. Although the results of Wenxin Academy in previous years were not good, it does not mean that they will always fall behind." The pretty platinum-blond boy looked at his friend with disapproval.
"Tsk, you're here again. You look old-fashioned and not cute at all." Feng Hao curled his lips and stopped paying attention to him. He turned to look at the students from the other two colleges with interest.
Wenxin, Qiuzhen, and Entry are the three major cultivation academies in the Eastern Continent. Ranked in terms of strength and reputation, Entry and Qiuzhen are ranked first and third in the world respectively, while Wenxin has been hovering at seventh or eighth place over the years.
In the big exam that takes place every three years, Wenxin has never beaten the other two colleges. One of the reasons is that they can't even get enough students who meet the qualifications.
The fixed upper limit for the number of candidates in each college is 300. Qiuzhen and Entry have met the requirements, while there are only 201 candidates for Wenxin.
After the invigilating elders at Lingcha Tower counted the number of students, many people had already foreseen that Wenxin College would be at the bottom again in this major exam.
The contempt from other colleges was unabashed, and the students of Wenxin College felt a little angry.
"With fewer people, will we definitely lose?"
"We may not have fewer experts than them. We must let them see how powerful we are when the time comes."
"I heard that there is a person named Feng Hao in the Entry College who has reached the late stage of foundation building..."
"There are also several students in Qiuzhen Academy who have reached the middle stage of foundation building."
"Impossible! You can graduate in the middle stage of foundation building."
"Look, the one in front is Feng Hao who entered the country."
"Qiuzhen Fang Chiye and Mu Sisi are also here."
"Damn it, why haven't these guys graduated yet? Are they staying in the academy to bully people!!!"
Seeing so many masters, the students of Wenxin Academy suddenly felt sad.
Their first place in the last quarterly examination seems to have just broken through the early stage of foundation building...
"Chu, after entering the barrier, you try to walk along the edge of the barrier. Let's meet up first." Wei He didn't care about other people's comments and told Yuan Chu with a serious face.
Yuan Chu: "...Hmm."
She didn't tell him that after entering the barrier, most people couldn't find the edge of the barrier.
Before departure, the college teacher distributed a ring to each candidate. This reflecting ring can not only automatically record students' grades, but also scan students' vital signs and accurately locate them. If a student's vital signs send out a danger signal, the teacher in charge of invigilating the exam will rush to the rescue based on the location.
The ring signal is connected to the outside screen, and each candidate's score will be updated on the screen in real time. Outsiders can use their own Cultivation Intelligence Brain to connect to a candidate's reflection ring, and watch the candidate's situation through the reflection ring, which is equivalent to a live broadcast from the main perspective.
After the invigilator elder explained the rules, he and several other cultivators opened the enchantment door leading to the battlefield.
Seven to eight hundred candidates entered the crisis-ridden examination room under the leadership of nine invigilators.
A ray of light flashed, Yuan Chu stepped through the barrier gate, and when he opened his eyes again, he already appeared in a wasteland.
The sky was dark, the breeze was blowing, the desolate land was littered with the bones of various creatures, and there was a chilling air all around.
Behind Yuanchu, a black shadow slowly condensed, twisted and chaotic, like a huge mouth, and fiercely pounced on Yuanchu, who seemed to be unaware.
Yuan Chu took a slight step, and his figure instantly crossed tens of meters, and the black shadow flew into the air.
As the original moved, more and more black shadows condensed and took shape. They either condensed out of thin air or emerged from the ground. They had different shapes and different levels, and moved towards her with a fierce and violent aura.
Originally, one could not kill at will, but these undead spirits were different. They are not real living beings, but the residual consciousness or soul power of the fallen, which can be infinitely resurrected in the battlefield barrier. But she was not in a hurry to take action, but first used her spiritual consciousness to search for Wei He's location.
Unfortunately, there was no trace of him for hundreds of miles around, not even a few students from this college. There were about twenty scattered people, all students from other colleges.
Yuanchu concealed her own aura, and the surging undead instantly lost their target and began to wander aimlessly, turning a blind eye to the original familiarity passing by. There were even some undead that regarded her as a kindred spirit and followed her like a tail. behind.
The location where Wei He teleported was in a dense forest. Before he could explore the environment, strange animal-like creatures appeared around him and surrounded him in groups. He sacrificed his Xuanxiao Umbrella and began to fight fiercely with these ferocious beasts.
The vicious beasts appeared one after another, and the battles went on one after another, as if they were endless, and there was no energy to care about anything else.
Wei He finally understood what the teacher meant before the exam - this was a test of survival and will, and the final result was either collapse or a breakthrough. Only by persevering can you achieve yourself.
Wei He wanted to reunite with Yuan Chu before, but now it seems that it is unknown how far he can go.
The moment you step onto the battlefield, the battle horn sounds. There is no room for any conspiracy and calculation in the face of overwhelming enemies.
The names of all the candidates lit up one by one on the big screen outside Qilin Mountain, and the scores were constantly refreshed, dizzyingly fast.
Anyone with experience knows
, this situation will last for at least three hours. When living creatures enter the land of death, they will be besieged by countless undead souls. Only by clearing out all nearby undead souls can they get a short rest.
Compared with the activeness of other candidates, she seemed very low-key at first, but this low-keyness only made her stand out.
Someone flipped through it from back to front and found that the name "Yuanchu" was always at the bottom. Other people's scores were increasing at an extremely fast speed, but she took a few minutes to make a slow jump, but in just a few dozen minutes, she was a few dozen points behind the second-to-last place.
As we all know, candidates who have just entered the barrier will encounter a group attack and will not be teleported to no man's land by chance.
What happened to this candidate called Yuanchu
Noticing this abnormal phenomenon, Liu Mu curiously connected to the original Ying Ring and entered her main perspective. A ferocious grimace appeared in front of him without warning, which scared him so much that he almost took out his big treasure.
He calmed down and found that the ghostly face disappeared from the screen, replaced by a shaking darkness. During the shaking, groups of black shadows could be vaguely seen shuttled around through the occasional gaps.
Putting himself into the environment where the master of Ying Ring was now, a chill suddenly shot up Liu Mu's back.
Damn it, this candidate is not surrounded by undead!
She neither fights nor runs, letting the undead wander around her? ?
No, are the undead so easy to get along with? If she doesn't take action, neither will the undead
Liu Mu looked at the picture on the screen in disbelief, falling into self-doubt. In order to confirm his guess, he posted the live video online with the title - [Am I dazzled, someone can actually stand shoulder to shoulder with the undead?]
[What is the original poster thinking? Who can stand side by side with the undead, your deceased ancestor?]
[Hahaha, what is the degree of myopia of the poster? I have ancestral eye drops that can be sold at a low price. If you are interested, please send me a message?]
[what? Is this an advertising post?]
[Wait a minute, you all go watch the live broadcast, what the poster said seems to be true! ! !]
[I’ll go, what’s going on? That candidate is surrounded by undead?]
[Why didn’t she take action? Don't want to score?]
[The point is that she doesn’t want to take action? The point is, why didn't those undead attack her? !]
[She may have used some kind of concealment technique to make the undead ignore her existence.]
[Impossible, even if you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you can't completely hide your aura in the battlefield barrier. As long as the slightest leak is revealed, the undead will notice and attack in groups. Moreover, concealing the aura means that the spiritual power in the body cannot be used casually. In an environment full of undead, this approach is tantamount to seeking death.]
[So, how did she do it?]
[Although she behaves fresh and refined, this is an assessment, and you can’t score by just being stubborn... ]
[I just want to see how she plans to score.]
[Same as above.]
Liu Mu’s post quickly attracted attention and the popularity skyrocketed.
There has never been a final exam where everyone was more interested in the last one than the first one.
At first, he didn't pay attention to the situation outside the field. He still moved according to his own rhythm, strolling through the undead crowd.
Pass through, avoid other exams, and look for traces of Wei He. Occasionally, if an undead accidentally bumps into her, she will deal with it easily, and then the score on the screen will jump up by one point.
[Another one point increase, not bad.]
[Huh? The undead in front seems to have a good figure, tall and elegant, and has long hair.]
[The one on the right is a little worse. It only has eyes and no mouth.]
[I'm really sick, I actually think these dead souls are quite cute when I see them up close.]
[I also…]
Teachers outside the site also discovered this post, began to pay attention to the original anomaly, and started academic discussions.
"Does she carry some kind of special magic weapon?" Qiuzhen College.
"Using magic weapons also requires corresponding strength. That candidate seems to be only in the late stage of Qi refining." Entering the academy.
"Is there any spell that can allow low-level monks to completely hide their aura?" Qiuzhen Academy.
"Hide the soul, hide the breath, and merge with the sky are all possible, but it is difficult to achieve in the battlefield barrier." Entry Academy.
"It's really strange. This is the strangest student I have ever seen." Qiuzhen College.
"Isn't she a student of Wenxin Academy? Maybe Wenxin Academy can give us the answer."
Entry College and Qiuzhen College both looked at Wenxin College with knowledge-seeking eyes.
Wenxin Academy: "..." It's a good recipe, but we don't know it either!
After three arduous hours, the battle gradually subsided, and no one was eliminated from the exam for the time being.
The ranking refresh frequency has slowed down, and the top 40 or 50 people have basically stabilized.
Entrance and truth-seeking students almost dominated the top ten, and the total scores of the three colleges were also at the bottom.
Wei He is currently ranked 17th, while Yuanchu is still in last place.
Everyone wanted to know whether she planned to endure until the end, or whether she was going to conserve her strength first and then get excited.
A few people quickly realized the original advantage. She could choose when to kill, when to rest, and freely adjust the rhythm of the battle. Unlike other candidates, she could only passively respond to the battle. Unless all enemies were killed, even if she was exhausted, There was no chance to rest.
"Isn't this unfair?" someone questioned.
"What's unfair? The purpose of the assessment is to push people to a desperate situation and then find a breakthrough. She is now opportunistic, and even if she gets first place in the end, it will not do any good to her own practice."
"makes sense."
"Don't worry, it's impossible for her to get first place. Others are scoring all the time, but she just wants to be safe, insignificant and underdeveloped, and her efficiency is too low. She probably won't even be able to get into the top 500."
"agree."
Thinking of this, everyone put aside their worries and focused on the original action with the mentality of watching a good show.
Wei He hadn't been found at first, but before that, he met a student named "Yueli" who was entering the college.
If it were anyone else, Yuan Yu would basically choose to avoid him, but Yue Li was different. He was the second son of luck she had encountered in this world. He is not a child of destiny who grew up the day after tomorrow, but a "lucky person" who, like Wei He, was marked by heaven from birth.
Unlike Wei He, Yue Li has too many geniuses around him. Under the protection of these geniuses, his fate is so good that even the law of heaven can't do anything about it, and the law of heaven can only take away the money from the bottom of the cauldron.
, sealing his spiritual root when he was born, but due to the influence of luck, the seal was only half successful. The original 100% innate golden spiritual root + 94% mutated thunder spiritual root became 50% golden spiritual root + 47% He has mutated thunder spirit roots, is physically weak, and his cultivation is slow to advance. His friend Feng Hao was in the late stage of foundation building, while he was still wandering in the late stage of Qi refining.
If you want to ascend in the future, the greater the number of Sons of Destiny, the greater the chance of success, so Yuanchuan does not mind uniting the Sons of Destiny around the world and all the rising stars who may become Sons of Destiny.
Yue Li has a beautiful appearance and a slender figure. He looks like a girl at first glance, but his spiritual roots are extremely aggressive.
After entering the battlefield barrier, there was no one else around him, so he fought against hundreds of undead souls alone, and finally narrowly won. He thought he could rest for a while, but in the end, a candidate from the Truth-Seeking Academy attracted dozens of undead souls, treating him as a demon. He used it as bait and escaped.
Yue Li's physique was already weaker than that of ordinary people, and when he was exhausted, he suddenly fell into a hard fight against dozens of undead.
Seeing that he was about to die, Yuan Chu passed by and gave him a hand.
"Be careful!" Yue Li suddenly saw a girl standing in front of him, facing the attacking undead, and hurriedly warned her.
However, those undead spirits stopped when they were half a step away from the girl, then wandered left and right for a moment, then quietly drifted past the girl.
Yue Li, who originally thought he would see a big battle, said: "???"
"Are you okay?" Yuanchu turned around and smiled at Yueli.
This smile couldn't be described as gentle, if there wasn't a ferocious undead rolling and floating by her side.
Yue Li: "I... okay..."
No, he is not good!
Behind a girl who smiled kindly at her was a ferocious grimace. Who could bear this kind of impact!
The author has something to say: This world is probably a bit long.

Yuan Chu: My development seems to be too obscene, I need to correct it...
