Chapter 10 The Third Round of Assessments
Three days later, the first two rounds of tests were all over, and a total of 135 people entered the third round.
Si Er felt that this number was a bit small. After all, there were only four formal beast academies in the Wanshou Continent, and they only recruited students once every two years.
[The main reason is that there are few students coming to Xuanwu Academy, while the other three academies have quite a lot. ]
[More than a thousand people from Qinglong Academy entered the third round, and more than 800 people from Baihu Academy and Suzaku Academy. ]
Si Er was shocked.
[Isn’t this gap too big? The number of freshmen in the other three academies is eight times or even ten times that of our Xuanwu Academy? ]
After hearing this, the elders and tutors of Xuanwu Academy felt very heartbroken.
[The teaching staff of the four academies seems to be about the same, right? Do you all dislike Changshou Gui so much? 〗
〖In addition to being able to make people live longer, this turtle's defense level is also very strong! 〗
〖It is said that it takes half an hour for the special soul pets of the other three academies to work together to break the shield of the long-lived turtle. 〗
〖With such defensive power, what else do you need a bicycle for? 〗
Several elders of Xuanwu Academy were very relieved. Finally, someone knew the good of their turtles, although they didn't know what a bicycle was.
A car that doesn't need to be pulled by soul pets?
But that's not important.
The important thing is that although their long-lived turtle can't beat the Qingmu Jiao, Fire Bird and Seeking Gold Tiger of the other three academies, those three can't beat their long-lived turtle either!
In terms of comprehensive strength, everyone is about the same, so who is more noble than who?
Central City is the largest city in the entire Wanshou Continent. There is a bustling street in the middle, but there are four huge mountain ranges on all sides. The four major colleges are built on those four mountain ranges.
After all the students gathered in the third round, they went to their respective colleges.
"Okay, students, going up from here is the outermost Xuanwu Mountain. You need to climb over this mountain to reach the college gate by yourself."
"In order to increase the fun of the assessment, our college has set up a lot of small traps on the road, and everyone can explore them."
[What to explore? Every time you are caught, you will lose one point. Who has so much time to play with this?]
[Why else to increase the fun of the assessment? This is clearly some bored elders who deliberately tricked people to satisfy their own bad taste.
The students who could hear Si Er's inner voice all secretly gave Si Er a thumbs up. What a good idea! This is also what they think.
Who needs the so-called fun? Everyone just hopes to pass the level safely and smoothly, okay?
"By the way, the maps given to each of you are incomplete."
"If you want to find the way to the college smoothly, you can cooperate with other classmates to piece together the map, or you can snatch other people's maps."
"But let me make it clear in advance that snatching maps will not count towards the score."
So what is the point of letting others snatch the map? Or are the people in Xuanwu College so lazy that they are not even willing to draw a complete map? 〗
"..."
The instructor who was reading out the assessment rules on the stage was speechless. How could this student's inner voice be so active?
Is a gold-level genius just such a chatterbox who likes to babble in his heart?
I really want to pick up a wooden stick and hit him on the head.
Just as the instructor thought of this, a bird flew over his head. The instructor suddenly had a sharp intuition and dodged to the side, and a pile of bird excrement fell directly at his feet.
The instructor patted his chest with lingering fear. Fortunately, he dodged quickly.
But isn't this Si Er too weird? He just wanted to hit a wooden stick, but God hit him with shit.
This thought only flashed through his mind, and the instructor didn't dare to think about it deeply.
He was afraid that he hadn't thought about it correctly and would be hit by strange things again.
"Before the assessment, we need to check your belongings."
"Just to make it clear, only you, your contracted soul pets, all the props issued by the academy, as well as knives, water bottles, and food can enter this time."
"You cannot bring other special props, and you cannot drive soul pets that are not contracted by you."
"In the past, some people were smart and brought their elders' soul pets in, or even hired powerful soul pets to help."
"But the ending of these people is the same, that is, elimination."
"Having said that, I hope everyone can abide by the rules, take the assessment well, and strive to get a good score."
After reading all the rules, the third round of assessment officially began, and Si Er still maintained his previous appearance.
Green mushrooms on his head, a big white rabbit in his arms, and a red ostrich on his back.
Si Er had never even looked at the map. With the rabbit Gua Gua around, he was not afraid of not being able to find the way, and the ostrich Ben Ben was not a road idiot.
The first task soon appeared on Si Er's token, which was to harvest ten green thunder vines.
This kind of vine is not difficult to find, because it crackles all year round and is very conspicuous. It is a conspicuous bag in the spiritual plant world.
But this vine is not easy to pick, after all, it crackles all the time, and it will electrocute anyone who touches it, making it impossible for a group of alien beasts to bite it, and the risk factor is very high.
It is said that only soul pet masters and soul pets with thunder attribute physique can successfully pick green thunder vines.
Si Er couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the third level tests not only personal ability, but also cooperation?
Although he had read the original novel, and the novel also wrote about the protagonist being assessed by Si Ran, the rules of the third round of each academy are slightly different.
For example, Qinglong Academy seems to focus more on personal ability. They will calculate points for snatching maps, and allow snatching other people's mission results.
These are all clearly written in their assessment rules.
Xuanwu Academy is slightly different. They will not write these out, nor will they imply or explicitly let you snatch other people's mission results.
But if you really snatch them, it will not be considered a violation.
The Qinglei Vine has not been found yet, and the second task soon popped up on the token, picking five Fire Cloud Ganoderma.
Fire Cloud Mushroom usually grows on cliffs, with flames burning all over its body. It is also very conspicuous, but it is also hot. Generally, only soul pet masters with fire attributes can pick it successfully.
Of course, if you have the corresponding tools, everything can be done, but you are not allowed to bring those props during the assessment.
So if you don't plunder the achievements of others, you can successfully complete your tasks by cooperating with others.
Of course, that is for others.
For Si Er, those things can be picked up smoothly.
Because his light attribute is relatively special, it can accommodate everything.
So Si Er didn't think about finding someone to cooperate with, he planned to fight alone.
As a result, when he turned around, he saw three young men standing far behind him.
One was Zuo Beixuan with a small tiger tooth, one was Si Xu with a gentle smile, and the other was a stranger who was looking at him admiringly.
Seeing him turn around, the three of them invited him at the same time.
"Classmate Si Er, can I invite you to form a team with me?"
"Classmate Si Er, can I form a team with you?"
"Classmate Si Er, can we put together a map?"
Si Er first declined the stranger: "Classmate, I don't know how to read maps. If you put together a map with me, you might..."
The stranger's eyes lit up: "So classmate Si Er is also a directionally challenged person?"
Si Er shook his head quickly: "No, no, no, I'm not!"
The boy's eyes were still shining: "So can you find the way? Can I help you?"
"Ah, this..." Si Er wanted to refuse.
〖You don't even know this, why do you suddenly want to form a team with me?〗
〖And why is Si Xu here? Shouldn't he be going to Qinglong Academy?〗
〖Oh, and this big villain, isn't he a loner who is solitary and beautiful? How come you want to form a team?
The young man with a strange face smiled and said, "My name is Lu Taiping. I'm seventeen this year. I have a wind-attributed physique and I'm born with a sense of direction."
"I don't know what the problem is. The two soul pets I contracted are also senseless. So I'm afraid that the three of us won't be able to reach the gate of the college even if we walk for half a year."
"So there's no other way. We must find someone to cooperate with."
"I just happened to run into classmate Si Er here. I think classmate Si Er has always been very friendly. I wonder if we can..."
[Lu Taiping, this name sounds familiar...]
Si Er thought about it carefully and suddenly realized it.
[Isn't this the famous unlucky background board? This is too miserable, right?]
Lu Taiping couldn't help but widen his eyes.
What? Why is he miserable?
How can he still be famous when he is already a background board? He is already a background character, why does he have to suffer?
Is there something wrong with his positioning in this book?
Yes, Lu Taiping easily accepted the information in Si Er's words and felt that this world is a huge storybook and they are all characters living in the script.
And the reason why Si Er knows so much is because he is awake!
In the storybook, which character is not familiar with the script after awakening?
