Chapter 191 The Third Round of Assessment
The first round ended in a draw, Lin Junhuai's team won the second round, and the third round was about to start without stopping. The commander-in-chief's team was in extremely low spirits.
If he wants to make it to the fourth round, he must win the third round. He is not afraid of failure, but he is afraid that he will not be able to withstand the wrath of his master.
Thinking of the master who always sat behind the beaded curtain, whose face was hazy and unclear but whose emotions were unrecognizable, and his companion who failed to complete his mission and was thrown into a pile of insects and was eaten alive until not even a bone was left, he felt an uncontrollable chill in his spine and his scalp was numb enough to make him almost vomit.
The commander-in-chief's expression now is definitely not good. After all, he climbed up to this position step by step from an outer disciple. Unlike Lin Junhuai who was born as the young master of the Mo family, it seems that the elder of the Mo Pavilion also prefers Lin Junhuai in his heart.
The fear and anger in his heart twisted into a ball, clamoring to tear him to pieces.
"Calm down."
A gentle voice came from the side, and the commander-in-chief looked in the direction of the sound and saw Le Zhou's fair face.
"If the mind has something to dwell on, then it is not dwelling. One should give rise to the mind without dwelling on anything."
Le Zhou uttered a Buddhist chant, his eyes and eyebrows were calm and peaceful: "Being too obsessed with winning or losing will only backfire."
Le Zhou, who had always been a nobody and had little sense of existence, suddenly soothed the commander-in-chief's irritable and angry heart at this oppressive moment. He stared at the man's soft features in a daze, as if he had thought of some guess, his eyes suddenly trembled and he quickly lowered his head.
This slightly impolite behavior did not make Le Zhou unhappy. He just lowered his eyes and said in a good-tempered manner: "Do you have something to talk to me about?"
The inquiring gaze of Bingwen from behind made him feel as if a hole had been burned through his body. Hearing this, Bingwen lowered his eyelashes. Although it was well concealed, his slightly raised tone still revealed his loss of control: "Nothing, I am sorry for being rude."
Wu lost his umbrella and became independent. His dark and shiny pupils reflected the uncomfortable faces of the three people.
Although they were a team, they were too unfamiliar and polite, and could not compare to the relaxed atmosphere of Lin Junhuai and his team.
There were still people talking and laughing over there, and a few of them were flattering Lin Junhuai, almost blowing him up to the sky to be shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
The halftime break was over quickly, and Elder Mo Ge announced the third round of assessments with a dignified look on his face: "This round of assessment is divided into two parts, the first half, except for the team leader, the other three people will all participate, and the second half, the team leader will participate alone."
The new rules were promulgated, leaving everyone curiously waiting for what will happen next.
"The first half of the assessment is a points competition. A disciple will issue a wooden plaque to each of you. Three wooden plaques have three points: three points, five points, and ten points. Your task is to snatch the other party's wooden plaque within one stick of incense and bring it to the designated place."
"The second half is for the team leader to take the ladder test alone. The ladder has ninety-nine levels, and each level is extremely difficult. The points that your teammates have previously grabbed can allow you to jump to a certain number of levels."
Lin Junhuai asked, "That is, if we snatch one three-point and one five-point wooden sign from the other side, does that mean I can start the ladder test directly from the eighth level?"
The elder nodded: "That's right, whoever reaches the top first will be the winner."
In fact, it is their teammates who win the starting line for them. If they get all three wooden tiles, that is eighteen points. Starting directly from the eighteenth level can be said to have a great advantage.
"But you must not give your own wooden sign to your teammates for safekeeping, nor hide it somewhere. You must carry it with you."
This is not only to prevent someone from having ulterior motives, but also to make it easier for everyone to snatch more clearly.
Two disciples stepped forward and delivered wooden signs to the two teams respectively. The points on Lin Junhuai's team were written in black ink, while the points on the commander-in-chief's team were written in cinnabar ink, which is red ink.
The elder continued, "Please discuss the countermeasures and what points each team member should be equipped with, and hang the wooden signs around your waist when the game is about to start."
Lin Junhuai poked secretly, "Then let Brother Xiaolin take care of these ten points. With your martial arts ability, it should be safe."
Jun Lin took the wooden sign from him neatly: "Okay."
The jade has five dots, and the Yi'an has three dots.
Taking into account the imbalance in the team's military strength, Jun Lin stroked the wooden sign with his fingertips and suggested: "I will be responsible for snatching the wooden sign, and Yan Yu will be responsible for protecting Yi An and keeping an eye on his own wooden sign."
Yanyu gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and nodded in response.
Yi An looked a little frustrated: "It's not that I don't have the ability to protect myself, it's just that it takes time to set up the formation, so my emergency response ability is not that strong."
Lin Junhuai pointed out mercilessly: "Admit it, you are a useless little guy in terms of force."
Yian raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly without saying anything.
Lin Junhuai grinned: "Hehe, I finally got the chance to laugh at you. You can't win in a fight, but I'll win in a mechanical contest."
The baby-faced boy said meaningfully: "Lord of the Snow Region, you are not capable of this."
Jun Lin: “…”
Yu Yu: “…”
Pass it on, the Lord of the Snow Region can't do it.
No, the point is that if our team doesn't have a quarrel, we will lose the energy to play, right?
Yi An ignored the unreasonable provocation of this child. He was patient and tolerant: "Be good, if you don't want me to withdraw from the competition now."
The commander-in-chief was very puzzled. He didn't know why the atmosphere on the other side was always so good, with laughter, scolding and so forth. In fact, he didn't know that the group was on the verge of disbanding several times.
Lin Junhuai choked, turned around and ran to find Junlin. Junlin touched his head and squinted his eyes in comfort.
"However many points you want, I'll get them back for you, so be happy, ok?"
Look at this boss speaking!
I don’t know if other people are moved or not, but Lin Junhuai is crazy about it!
He whispered tentatively: "Based on Brother Xiaolin's martial arts ability, it wouldn't be too much for me to ask for an eighteen-point one, right?"
Jun Lin closed his eyes and said, "Not very realistic."
The boy squinted and said, "Wow, why didn't you say that so confidently in the beginning? If I believed you again, I would be a dog!"
He felt even worse as he was angry. He blinked his eyes and added awkwardly in his heart: Woof.
Jun Lin smiled and said, "I'm just kidding. Wait, I will send you to the eighteenth level of the ladder."
She clenched the wooden sign into a fist, her eyes and eyebrows were full of heroic spirit: "You want to stand on the high ground, then I will push you up."
She was not lying, she really wanted to snatch all the wooden signs.
Lin Junhuai looked a little dazed. After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly smiled at her: "Okay!"
