Having said that, Xin Yun nodded encouragingly to the two, and then, accompanied by Yi Luoxiang and Yan Qingying, entered the assessment site and started the upgrade assessment.
There are three stages in the upgrade assessment, the first is to reach the Silver rank, the second is the basic assessment, and the last is the actual combat test. Only after passing the three levels can the upgrade be successful.
In the first stage of the assessment, all five members of the group easily passed the test. After all... Except for Xin Yun, everyone's talents and aptitudes are very good, and their family conditions are also very good. They also know that they have to work hard. of.
The second level is the basic assessment. In fact, it is to check everyone's mastery of basic knowledge. It is not enough to be strong. Yes, they are all skills evolved from the basics. If the basics are not well learned, the advanced ones cannot be learned at all.
The basic assessment site is a specially arranged huge site with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters. There are many giant pillars standing in the site, and every position of the site is covered with targets of various colors.
The targets are divided into three colors, namely red, blue, and green. Among them... the red handle must be hit from close range, the blue target can be destroyed by long-range attacks, and the green target can be destroyed by a long-range attack. It is used to mark the route. These green targets must be bypassed one by one, and they cannot be shuttled arbitrarily.
When Xin Yun arrived, someone was testing in the arena. Looking around, a giant dragon was flying fast in the arena, circling one after another giant pillars, constantly waving its sharp claws, spraying energy balls, and attacking various targets. , and while destroying the red and blue targets, you must also follow the route marked by the green target, and you cannot drill randomly.
After watching for a while, the first few students finally finished the test, and only about one-third of them could pass the test within the stipulated time. Let’s talk about practicing for a year or two.
Finally, it was the turn of Xin Yun and others to play. After thinking for a while, Xin Yun signaled Ke Zhan to go on stage first. After receiving Xin Yun's wink, Ke Zhan took a deep breath and handed his form to the instructor who was in charge of keeping the time. , then recruited his own dragon and reached the starting line.
"Crack!" Amidst the crisp sound of the order, Ke Zhan roared fiercely, and the frog dragon flapped its wings instantly, and several flames raged towards the back, and the frog dragon's body jumped out like a rocket.
Under the watchful eyes of Xin Yun and others, the frog dragon quickly opened its mouth, and a dark red fireball flew towards the nearest blue handle. A red target, and then the frog dragon turned over, jumped towards the green target, bypassed the green target, and continued to move towards the next target.
Seeing Frog Dragon's performance, Xin Yun nodded. Although he was far from satisfied, Xin Yun could tell that Ke Zhan had really worked hard in the past three years.
The body of the frog dragon is covered with skin-like spots, and above the spots are black holes, commonly known as toads.
After three years of exploration and training, those skinny spots on the body of the overcoming frog dragon can spray flames at any time, generating a huge propulsion to change the flying posture and direction, or to accelerate forward.
However, the layout of the venue for this basic assessment is really difficult. The huge pillars are very dense, there are many targets arranged, and the route forward is also hundreds of thousands of times. It is not difficult to complete all the goals, but if you add more When the time limit is on, things are not so simple.
If you only talk about straight-line speed, you can definitely pass the battle. However, this basic assessment test is not only about who can run fast, but also for everyone to launch long-range and short-range attacks while dodging and moving. It is too difficult to follow a specific route and must complete it within a certain time.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! Bang..." The dull roar echoed continuously in the field, rushing all the way, Ke Zhan finally killed from the other side, looked at the time, it took five minutes and forty-one Second!
"Huh..." After learning about his score, Ke Zhan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then patted his chest in fear. You know... six minutes is the passing line, and if it exceeds six minutes, it will be considered a failure.
Some people may ask, it's just a field with a diameter of 10,000 meters. With the speed of a dragon, how can it take so long? In fact... if you only attack the target, it really doesn't take so long, but firstly, the target is divided into short-range and long-range, and secondly... you must follow the green signs. I have been entangled back and forth on countless tortuous lines, and it can come out in six minutes, which is definitely not too slow.
In fact, there are a lot of green targets, thousands of them, and as long as one is not observed in time, it may be misunderstood. At that time, let alone six minutes, it is very likely that it will not be able to turn out after ten minutes.
Driving the Frog Dragon, Ke Zhan rushed back with sweat on his face. As soon as he landed, Ke Zhan said loudly: "Damn it! I can't feel it from the outside. This route is too complicated. If you are not careful, you will misread it." , you have to be careful."
Smiling and nodding, Xin Yun turned his head and said to Quick Zhan: "Okay, then you go on stage, pay attention, don't care about speed, once the route is wrong, or the target is exposed, it will be considered a failure. "
Facing Xin Yun's instruction, Su Zhan took a deep breath, then summoned the wind dragon, and slowly reached the starting point. On the starting line, Su Zhan fully closed his eyes and remained silent for ten seconds, then opened his eyes and signaled Mentors can begin.
"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the golden-yellow wind dragon of Quick Slash leaped out instantly, turning into a golden light and shadow, and leaping forward roaringly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..." With three muffled sounds in a row, Quick Zhan instantly threw out two wind blades, blasting two blue targets. At the same time, his body quickly jumped from the side of a red handle However, he shattered it conveniently, and then Fenglong's body drew an arc in mid-air, bypassing the first green mark target gracefully, and leaping towards the distance.
Seeing this coherent, incomparably elegant posture and skill, Xin Yun and the two girls nodded in admiration. This is a very familiar performance. The three of them all know that speed, skill, and flexibility are already difficult. The only thing that worried him was that he was afraid of running the wrong route or missing the target.
Under the watchful eyes of the three of them, Suizhan was driving the wind dragon, darting across the formation like a hurricane. After a while, Suizhan broke away from the other side and reached the finish line.
Three minutes and twelve seconds! This is the final result of Quick Zhan. Facing this result, Quick Zhan screamed excitedly. From the beginning of the test until now, this is the best result. It is two and a half minutes faster than Kezhan, almost faster It's doubled!
Seeing the excited and a little smug Quick Cut, Xin Yun, Yi Luoxiang and Yan Qingying glanced at each other, and then smiled at the same time. It was indeed very fast, but it was still far behind.
Under the watchful eyes of the four people, Su Zhan rushed back excitedly, and from a distance... Su Zhan cheered excitedly: "My score is three minutes and twelve seconds! So far, among all the students who have participated in the test, My grades are number one!"
Seeing the complacent and extremely proud Quick Cut, Xin Yun couldn't help frowning, this is not a good thing, self-confidence is not wrong, but pride is not right. This is a very big resistance to continuing to improve.
While thinking, Xin Yun turned his head, looked at the two girls with a smile and said, "How is it? Which of you two will play first?"
Hearing Xin Yun's words, the two girls couldn't help but glanced at each other, then stretched out their little hands at the same time, and shouted softly in their mouths—burden, scissors, hammer!
"I'd rather..." Seeing this scene, Xin Yun only felt his legs go limp, and almost sat down on the ground. This little game was played by the three of them when they were free and on the road in the past three years. Unexpectedly, it was played by the two. A girl got it here.
"Aha!" While thinking, Yi Luoxiang excitedly raised her right hand, making a scissors shape, and cheered, "I am scissors and you are cloth. You lose, so you come first..."
Helplessly glanced at Yi Luoxiang, Yan sighed lightly, shook her head and walked out, when it came to rock-paper-scissors, Yi Luoxiang was almost invincible, even Xin Yun couldn't beat her, and when this girl arrived Offering this magic weapon at a critical moment, it's not right for people to refuse, and it's even worse not to refuse.
Summoning the phantom spider, Yan Qingyao arrived at the starting point, turned her head slightly, and nodded to the instructor in charge of giving the order, indicating that the other party can start.
Seeing Yan's light and calm look, the instructor was stunned for a moment, and then gave the order to start, and as the sound of the start sounded, in an instant... Yan's light eyes shone with elite light!
Although she doesn't care about running first, it doesn't mean that she doesn't win or lose. Like Yi Luoxiang, Yan Qingying is also a very strong girl. No matter who the opponent is, she never wants to lose!
With the sound of the command, in an instant... Yan's light and graceful figure seemed to become unreal, and at the same time, thousands of spider phantoms roared and spewed towards the surroundings.
"Bang bang bang..." Amidst the dense roar, several target positions exploded almost at the same time. At the same moment, Yan Qingling's figure appeared in front of the green sign, and after a slight turn, he continued to rush forward .
Under the stunned gaze of Suizhan and Kezhan, Yan Qingying galloped all the way with thousands of phantoms in her, unexpectedly there was no barrier at all, let alone the slightest delay.
They kept flashing in front of green targets one after another. At the same time, the surrounding red and blue targets exploded one after another, and the whole venue was in chaos. The instructor in charge of the supervision didn't even dare to blink his eyes, for fear of making a mistake.
After only a short while, Yan Qingyao successfully got out from the other side. Looking at the time, it only took fifty-eight seconds! Successfully broke through the one-minute mark!
"I... I... Fuck!" Seeing this scene, Quick Zhan was completely dumbfounded. In three minutes and eleven seconds, he was so happy that he didn't know east, west, north, south, and even because he was nearly twice as fast as Ke Zhan. And complacent, but look at others, not to mention comparing with Ke Zhan, even compared with him, it is more than three times faster!
While thinking about it, Yan Qingying drove back the phantom spider dragon, with a calm expression on her face, she just gently clapped hands with Xin Yun and Yi Luoxiang to express her congratulations, and then there was no other unnecessary expression.
"Aha! It's my turn now..." After clapping hands with Yan Qingying gently, Yi Luoxiang blushed with excitement, and after summoning Morpho, she confidently rushed towards the starting point.
At the starting point, Yi Luoxiang took a deep breath. Although she didn't pay much attention to this test, she didn't want to lose, especially to Yan Qingying, so she had to pay attention.
After taking a long breath, Yi Luoxiang stretched out her hands at the same time, and in an instant... one purple and one blue, two imperial sword dragons whizzed out, hovering in front of Yi Luoxiang, one left and one right, and at the same time, Yi Luoxiang Xiang turned her head and nodded to the instructor, signaling that the test could begin.
"Crack!" With the sound of an order, in an instant... Yi Luoxiang's figure disappeared instantly, and when she reappeared, she had already appeared next to the first target position, and then disappeared again...
Simultaneously with Yi Luoxiang's actions, the two emperors Ziqing also quickly flew out. Zidi enshrined sword energy and bombarded the surrounding blue targets, while Qingdi pierced the blue targets all the way. The target was smashed to pieces.
Yan Qingying's way is to rush forward, and then gather in front of the green sign after eliminating all the targets, but Yi Luoxiang is not like it, it is like a front of a car, dragging the second emperor Ziqing forward, but Efficiency is equally high.
All the way, Yi Luoxiang was driving the flashing butterfly, and the second emperor Ziqing galloped like lightning, galloping vertically and horizontally, and blasted all the targets one by one. After a while, Yi Luoxiang successfully killed him from the other side. come out. Look at the time, fifty-eight seconds!
Another fifty-eight seconds! Facing this result, Quick Zhan really went crazy. Could it be that he is so weak? Is it so weak? As a wind-type dragon, he lost to two non-wind-type dragons by more than three times! this…
For a moment, everyone turned their gazes to Xin Yun. Seeing this scene, Xin Yun laughed, applauded Yi Luoxiang and drove Ying Long towards the starting point.
Along the way, Xin Yun thought a lot. The reason why Yi Luoxiang and Yan Qingying could achieve such exaggerated results was not a fluke, but it was achieved by relying on the twinkling and purple emperors, as well as the phantom and the transformation between reality and reality. But Yun didn't have such an advantage anymore. It was simply impossible to beat the two girls in terms of grades!
The long-range blue handle is fine, but the red target, which must be destroyed at close range, is beyond Xin Yun's ability to overcome. He must first rush to the red target, defeat the red target, and then fly away In front of the green sign, with this delay, it would be good if it could end within two minutes.
Although he doesn't mind losing to the two girls, it's normal to lose, but since his rebirth, Xin Yun's biggest goal is to follow them and not be left behind by them, no matter when or in what way.
Gently closing his eyes, the positions of all the targets and the route to advance emerged in Xin Yun's mind. Slowly, a route connecting all the blue targets and the green targets appeared in Xin Yun's mind. cloud mind.
For now, if he wants to get close to the results of the two girls, Xin Yun must design the shortest route, and then run along this route at full speed without making any mistakes. Only in this way can Xin Yun approach the one-point mark. , As for the final result, it depends on the performance on the spot.
After thinking for a while, Xin Yun suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, a complete road map has been completely formed in Xin Yun's mind. The next thing Xin Yun has to do is to follow this road map in the shortest possible time. Take a trip on the route!
After nodding to the instructor, indicating that he could start at any time, Xin Yun concentrated his energy, and in an instant... Xin Yun's energy was concentrated like never before.
Seeing this scene, the commanding instructor picked up the starting hammer and said in a deep voice: "Ready, ready..."
"Huh..." At the same time as the instructor's hammer fell, Ying Long jumped out instantly under Xin Yun's control. That's right...it was a rush. According to Xin Yun's pre-judgment, the hammer started to exert force when it first fell, and the hammer As soon as he settled down, Ying Long had already turned into a phantom and jumped out at high speed.
"Hey!" Seeing this scene, the instructor was stunned for a moment, wondering if this counted as running away, but after careful consideration, he really didn't run away. Before the hammer fell, he didn't move at all. They are all behind the starting line, so it is not a foul.
It's just that, although it's true that he didn't foul, this guy is too risky, you know... Once his rhythm changes, and the hammer falls a little slower, the opponent will steal away. cancelled.
Thinking of this, the instructor shook his head, feeling a little dumbfounded. While he was sighing, he suddenly remembered something, hurriedly lowered his head, and instantly pressed the timer to start counting the time.
After pressing the timer, when he raised his head and looked in Xin Yun's direction, as far as he could see, Xin Yun had exploded a field of targets in an instant, bypassed a large number of green marks in a row, and ran a long way.
"I... I... I'm on my way!" Seeing this scene, the instructor jumped angrily, but he couldn't do anything about it. What happened today, how could he be in such a hurry.
Affected by Xin Yun, the time when the tutor pressed the timer was greatly delayed, but by how much? No one knows this at all, not even the instructor himself. You must know... Although there are many things I thought about just now, it was just a matter of a flash of thought. It may be a second, or it may be three seconds, or even more !
Under the watchful eye of the instructor and under the control of Xin Yun, Ying Long seemed to transform into a winding lightning bolt, winding forward in the giant pillar, as if a thunderbolt had passed by, and it crossed a large area in an instant.
During the flight, Xin Yun kept waving a Dao Senhan sword light, smashing all the long-range targets. At the same time, Yinglong flew in a meandering manner, and exploded all the short-range claws wherever it passed. Then bypass the green sign and proceed at full speed.
Under everyone's gaze, Xin Yun is surprisingly fast and unimaginably flexible, like a meandering lightning flashing across the sky, but when you see it clearly, he has already reached the finish line.
"Crack!" subconsciously pressed the timer, and finally... Xin Yun's results came out! Fifty-six seconds!
"Wow!" Seeing this scene, everyone exclaimed, today's fastest result was finally born! An astonishing fifty-six seconds, which is definitely enough to wow anyone.
"Crack... creak..." The only one who didn't admire was probably the instigator, who clenched his fists tightly, and the instigator gritted his teeth bitterly, but dared not say a word. By now, he had estimated When he came out, he was stunned for at least three seconds, or even more than four seconds. In other words... Xin Yun's score should be more than 59 seconds, and it is more likely to be more than one minute away. It is absolutely impossible to be 56 seconds now. speed!
Although from the visual effect, Ying Long's speed is really fast, faster than everyone else, but don't forget that Xin Yun's route is also the longest.
However, up to now, the mentor can't tell the pain, and he can only swallow it in his stomach when he knocks out his teeth. Do you want to tell everyone that he was frightened and stunned just now, so he made a mistake? Forget it... That's too embarrassing. Although I made a mistake, even if this guy doesn't have a score of 56 seconds, he is definitely strong against the sky. If you make a mistake, you can make a mistake...
The second round of assessment will soon be over. After passing the first two rounds, the next round will be the last round, which is the third round of assessment. This round is an actual combat assessment, and there is no room for falsehood.
At this time of year, the bottom 100 sophomores will enter the challenge list. At the same time, after the first two rounds, the top 100 first-year students will also enter the third round. The students in each stage will challenge, and the winner will enter the second-year stage, and the winner will enter the one-year stage to continue their studies.
Faced with such a challenge, Xin Yun and others naturally wouldn't worry about being unable to make it through, but Xin Yun didn't plan to really advance to the second grade. For Xin Yun, he didn't lack high-end skills, and he was even ahead of this level. Dozens of times, even hundreds of years! Xin Yun's most important thing is actually the basic things.
Unlike the academies on Earth, everything in Doulong Academy is based on strength. As long as you have enough strength, you can be promoted to the next grade. If you are not strong enough, even if you are seventy or eighty years old, you can only continue If you are studying in the first grade, there is no such thing as dismissal. As long as you can enroll and pay the tuition fee, you can study for as long as you like.
Therefore, Xin Yun actually did not intend to be promoted to the second grade with the two girls this time, and Xin Yun is relatively busy now, the gang program has been established, he must develop other members of the gang as soon as possible, and recruit a few It is unknown now, but in the future it will be the top experts to help out, and there are still many things to deal with. It is time to develop that cave, and if it is too late, don't be taken by others.
For the future, Xin Yun has a lot of thoughts and complicated plans. Many things have to be done by himself. There is no way to concentrate on studying in the academy like the two girls. Many things are very helpless.
Of course, it's not that Xin Yun never thought of taking two girls with him, but they are different from Xin Yun. Xin Yun does not lack high-end skills and combat skills. What Xin Yun possesses is even far beyond this era. Pay more attention to the cultivation of the foundation. Although the foundation is simple, it determines the height that a person can eventually reach.
But in contrast to the two girls, no matter how smart they are or how talented they are, after all, they have to learn step by step, and it is not a scientific method to encourage them to grow.
However, since this is the case, why did Xin Yun come to participate in this assessment? Actually... There is a reason for this, and as for what the reason is, it will be revealed soon.
After resting for a day, the next morning, Xin Yun and his party of five arrived at the arena for the third round of assessment—challenge!
When the five of Xin Yun arrived, the students who participated in the third round were basically all there. Looking around, there were 100 students from the first-year division and 100 students from the second-year division. In the stands, there is a large area in the middle.
In this assessment, in the end, only one hundred people can enter the second-year stage, and the one hundred people who lose the challenge, regardless of whether they are in the first-year stage or the second-year stage, can only go to the one-year stage for further study, so... two This camp can be described as the enemy, there is him without me, there is me without him...
As time passed, finally... the third round of selection began. After the instructor in charge of referees and protection read out the challenge rules, he announced the start of the challenge.
As a challenge match, naturally the challenger will play first. As the first player in the first two rounds, Xin Yun will be the first to play. He is free to choose an opponent from the opposing sophomores to challenge. , the winner enters the second-year division, and the loser enters the one-year division.
Driving Ying Long, Xin Yun rushed to the arena with a smile on his face, looked at the opposite side, and then said loudly: "Okay, I will choose Mingxuan from the second grade as my challenge target!"
"Wow!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, the first-year students didn't care, but the second-year students screamed at the same time, discussing: "Who is this kid? The news is so well-informed. Know who is weak here."
Not to mention how the second-year students were thinking, on the other side... Yi Luoxiang and Yan stood up lightly and suddenly, their faces extremely pale. Although Xin Yun didn't say anything, based on their understanding of Xin Yun, how could they not know? What is Xin Yun going to do!
On the other side, Mingxuan stood up with a pale face. To Xin Yun, he was more respectful and grateful. In this world, apart from his mother, Xin Yun was the only one who treated him well and treated him like a brother. people.
No matter which aspect, Xin Yun is enough to make Mingxuan admire. When it comes to success, he is even more admirable. Today, Mingxuan is not even qualified to participate in Xin Yun's three-player training match. One stray bullet is enough to completely destroy him, which shows the power of Xin Yun, Yi Luoxiang, and Yan Qingying.
Originally, for this challenge, Mingxuan was more or less lucky. If he met a weaker opponent, he might still be able to stay in the second grade, but now...Xin Yun is in the first place. One called his name, how could he not panic!
Although he has been in contact with Xin Yun for so long, in fact, Mingxuan's understanding of Xin Yun is not very deep, more is respect and love, so... he doesn't know the reason why Xin Yun chose him. In his opinion, there is no suspense about the outcome, it just depends on how Xin Yun wants him to lose.
While thinking, Mingxuan summoned the peacock dragon, and flew to the arena erratically, at a distance of 100 meters, Mingxuan looked at Xin Yun deeply, opened his mouth, and when he wanted to ask something, he finally didn't ask speak up.
Looking deeply at Mingxuan, Xin Yun smiled and said: "Mingxuan! Since you are already on the field, let's have a good fight, just let your horse come over, use your full strength, and let me take a look at you The progress of these three years!"
Hearing Xin Yun's words, Ming Xuan's eyes lit up instantly, took a deep breath, and nodded resolutely. Seeing this scene, the referee loudly announced the start of the game!
Following the referee's voice, Mingxuan moved instantly, and the peacock dragon turned into a green light, roaring and leaping towards Xin Yun, using both mouth and claws, desperately attacking.
The next battle really doesn't need to be described in words. Although Mingxuan's skills are very strong, his own abilities are too weak. Just like a mage, no matter how superb his skills are, he can't fight a warrior in close combat.
After standing around for more than five minutes, finally... Mingxuan backed away like lightning. From the beginning to the end, although the fight seemed to be very lively, Mingxuan knew that Xin Yun had been only defending but not attacking, and let him play. , if Xin Yun was willing to make a move, he would collapse in just one blow.
Seeing Mingxuan who retreated quickly, Xin Yun shook his head in admiration, and shouted that Mingxuan had already achieved it. Although Peacock Dragon did not have a tyrannical body, nor super fast speed, nor an explosive force. However, he has controlled the peacock dragon to a state of perfection.
In the past, there was a saying on the earth that people and horses are one, that's right... Mingxuan's current state is the state of people and horses being one, but... the one who merges with Mingxuan is the dragon and the horse.
The moment Mingxuan stood on the peacock dragon, Mingxuan had already disappeared. At this moment, the peacock dragon was him, he was the peacock dragon, regardless of each other, almost exerted the power of the peacock dragon to the limit, but even so, A peacock is a peacock, and it still can't compete with an eagle.
However, although it is not possible now, the peacock cannot defeat the eagle, but once the peacock turns into a phoenix, then even an eagle is nothing more than a side dish. The current Mingxuan is like a phoenix in the middle of the plate, just waiting to be reborn , it can burst into a radiant light!
"Huchi...huchi...huchi..." While Xin Yun was thinking, Mingxuan was panting violently. In the past five minutes, he had completely and thoroughly used all his means, releasing his most powerful Even so, he couldn't even hurt a single hair of Xin Yun.
Up to now, his energy has been exhausted, and his skills have been exhausted. There is no need to continue fighting. You know... Xin Yun has not displayed his strength at all. In this battle, even if there is even a slight possibility of victory does not exist.
He raised his hand tremblingly, although he was extremely unwilling, but Mingxuan knew that the reason why Xin Yun didn't beat him with a heavy hand was to save him some face and let him take the initiative to admit defeat. In this way, it would be beneficial to both parties.
