Chapter 200 Chapter 200 Evil Thoughts Become Demons
The three-day assessment is over.
When everyone returned to the place where they first gathered to collect supplies, Shan Zi saw Meng Wenshi at a glance.
She pulled her brother forward and rushed forward: "Meng Wenshi, how many points do you have now?"
Meng Wenshi showed his wristband, the numbers clearly visible in the bright sunlight. He shook the strap and said frivolously, "So, more than you, or less?"
The girl's arrogance immediately subsided.
Shan Zi lowered his head and snapped his fingers: "You win, you're awesome, huh."
Meng Wenshi tried to see the expression on her face, but he could only see her long eyelashes moving up and down like butterfly wings.
Meng Wenshi's heart suddenly tightened, but he kept saying, "Oh, oh, oh, some people won't cry, right?"
He Junxia:?! ...
The three punctuation marks accurately expressed the emotional changes in He Junxia's heart. He looked at Meng Wenshi in confusion.
It’s better that you don’t really fall in love with that girl, otherwise you will cry later.
He Junxia saw Lou Caiying clench his fists, but he pulled his sister away very rationally and stood between the two of them with his body.
He opened his mouth to speak, but He Juanxia couldn't bear it any longer and directly took Meng Wenshi away: "The car is here, shut up now."
If Lou Caiying says a few more words, you will have no chance when you become more interested in love.
Several military jeeps approached from a distance, kicking up a cloud of choking dust. Everyone's attention was drawn to the vehicles, so Lou Caiying took her sister to the other side.
The girl buried her face in her brother's back, her eyes slightly red. "Brother, I'm sorry. I was impulsive and embarrassed you."
She didn't want to cry, but after hearing what Meng Wenshi said, her eyes became sore.
Lou Caiying patted her sister's head and said, "Don't say sorry. You didn't do anything wrong."
"It's a fact that I'm not as skilled as you. If I lose, I lose. You're only 18 years old. Let's keep working hard."
"But that guy and you are not the same kind of people. If you want to find a target opponent in the future, you should look for an Awakened person who is also an attack-type."
The four jeeps drifted wildly in front of everyone and came to a steady stop. However, the person who got out this time was not the muscular man they had seen on the first day, but a woman in tight clothes with a serious expression.
"Hello, students. My last name is Xie. You can call me Captain Xie."
She took out a palm-sized cube that looked a bit like the card swiping machine in the school cafeteria: "Everyone line up, take off your recording bracelets and place them in the sensing area in turn."
Upon hearing this, the randomly scattered students immediately lined up into a long, neat line, with their heads held high and their backs straight, like a row of soldiers waiting for inspection.
Only Meng Wenshi would occasionally turn his head to look at the girl several seats behind him. Her eyes were red. It was over. She must not be crying.
He Junxia had a blank expression on his face: "Get your head back on track."
Meng Wenshi withdrew his gaze in frustration, but his mind was still on the matter. It wasn't until the person in front of him suddenly disappeared that he came to his senses and quickly took off his recording bracelet and placed it on the sensing area.
After everyone had entered their data, Captain Xie's serious face broke into a faint smile. "Very good. First of all, I want to congratulate all of you on passing this assessment."
"But what makes me happiest is that no one snatched the record bracelets from other students."
"I hope you will always remember this: only monsters are our enemies. Never use spiritual weapons against your companions."
She turned to the people in the car and said, "Zishi, you guys come down and show off your skills to the younger students."
Several men and women, also dressed in tight-fitting clothes, jumped out of the car. Captain Xie introduced them, "They are all members of the Shuiyun Brigade. You should have heard of this name."
Of course!
The five awakened special forces brigades are teams composed of top awakened people from various special departments in order to deal with high-level monsters. They are the dream holy land of countless awakened people.
Everyone in the team is a genius among geniuses, and most of the devil instructors responsible for training them come from these teams.
"Leave no one behind."
"Yes, Captain."
For a moment, the sky was full of colorful lights.
The feather fan inlaid with sky blue gems on the umbrella handle flapped rapidly at the same time, the silvery-white dandelion seeds were blown away by the wind, and the fiery red sword flew in the air.
Immediately afterwards, the sounds of monsters' painful roars were heard in the abandoned county town, and wisps of demonic energy disappeared under the bright sunshine.
All the students were stunned.
Is this the strength of the special forces?
They even just released their spiritual weapons and killed all the monsters hiding in the county without even moving a step.
There was envy and desire in the eyes of the young students. Who doesn't want to have powerful strength and become a respected hero?
"Captain, it's solved."
You Zishi opened his hands, and the jeweled feather fan slowly fell into his palm, with a gray-brown round stone on it.
Captain Xie picked up the "stone" and handed it to He Junxia: "The demonic energy that parasitizes the fourth-level demonic plant is hidden in this seed."
He Junxia took it and examined it carefully. He saw traces of foxfire burning on the "stone." He suddenly realized: "This is the seed of the large-leaf Epiphyllum."
What a clever devil!
After blooming, the night-blooming cereus forms seeds, and the demonic energy takes advantage of this opportunity to transfer from the plant to the seeds. The two are inherently one, so naturally, a change of host won't weaken them. Once the crisis is resolved, the demonic energy can return to its previous host.
Captain Xie smiled and said, "But there's a downside to doing this. It's like burning that Epiphyllum macrophylla with fire. For a long time to come, it'll have to stay inside this seed."
…
Everyone got on the jeep and returned to the training base. After a short rest, a grand commendation meeting began.
He Junxia is the well-deserved first place, and Meng Wenshi follows closely in second place. The two of them have a total of more than 30 points for third place.
The god-like performance shocked all the students attending the commendation meeting. Shan Zi, who originally thought Meng Wenshi was arrogant, also changed his mind.
Although he is an auxiliary awakener, his achievement is definitely inseparable from the help of combat awakeners, but the fact that they can kill so many third-level monsters together is enough to prove his strength.
In comparison, it is not right for an attack-type awakener like me to compare with a support-type awakener, and I am sure I will lose.
Shan Zi curled the hair that was hanging on his shoulders. This time he was indeed wrong.
But she still hates being a smart guy.
The girl continued to listen to the introduction by the person on the stage. In addition to receiving a bonus of 50,000 yuan, the top three in this assessment can also choose an item as a reward from the treasure house on the first floor of the training base.
The first-floor treasure house contained many valuable items left behind by high-level awakeners. He Junxia also spotted the Tianshan Snow Lotus, once a prize for first place in a shooting competition.
But the treasures that countless students envy are only the most inconspicuous items in the treasure pavilion, and there are as many as hundreds of them.
He Junxia walked around the treasure house and finally stopped in front of the weapons area.
These cold weapons are all forged from renewable spiritual materials. They may not be as lethal to monsters as cold spiritual weapons, but for non-offensive awakened ones, they are very good self-defense tools.
He Junxia picked up a three-pointed thorn. He had always used the three-pointed thorn as a secondary weapon in the zombie world, and it was easy to use again.
Meng Wenshi didn't understand his choice at all.
The boy was heartbroken and said, "Why did you choose an ordinary three-pointed spear? If you encounter a monster, you can just smash it with the tripod. If it doesn't kill it, you can always set it on fire."
"What a great opportunity, and you just wasted it like that. Why don't you talk to Teacher Zhang and ask for mercy, so that he can let you in for a different one?"
He Juanxia smiled: "No, I like it very much."
The Soul-Suppressing Cauldron wasn't an offensive weapon, or rather, it wasn't meant to be a weapon. When encountering monsters of the same level, he could use it to defeat them, but it was inevitably overwhelmed when facing defensive, higher-level monsters.
After all, fox fire is not omnipotent.
Foxfire is an innate skill that comes with the inner elixir given to him by Xie Qi. The strength of the flame is closely related to the physical and spiritual strength of the user, and it is impossible to use it without limit.
Furthermore, when the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron came into contact with a monster, it would unconsciously absorb the demonic energy within it. This was its former duty, and it remained unchanged even after leaving that world.
The Soul-Suppressing Cauldron is a divine artifact created by gathering the essence of heaven and earth. It does not care about the demonic energy it absorbs, but He Junxia, whose soul is bound to it, will be affected by the demonic energy.
It may not be apparent in the short term, but in the long run, human thought and ideas will definitely develop in a more extreme direction.
He Junxia doesn't want to become the villain in novels and TV dramas who tries to destroy all mankind and create a new peaceful world.
Therefore, he must plan ahead and minimize the contact between the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and the demonic energy of the monsters as much as possible - choosing a new weapon that is suitable and qualified is the first step.
Meng Wenshi shut his mouth.
He knew that his roommate was always decisive on important matters and almost no one could change his mind.

Once the assessment is over, the training is over.
It's time for people to leave.
Before leaving, the four people in dormitory 302 went out to have a farewell dinner.
They didn't go to any high-end restaurant, but just found a street food stall with a strong sense of local life.
The four of them chose a seat outside the store facing the street, and sat down. A few plates of grilled skewers, a few bottles of beer, and some cold dishes and peanuts made the table complete.
The night wind blows gently.
The young people at the table gradually recalled every detail of their experience after entering the training base.
Jing Yuhang took a bite of the sizzling lamb skewer and said, "Meng Wenshi, when I first met you, I thought you were some young master from some family."
"When I went to college, I only brought two suitcases. I was stunned by all those suitcases you have."
Meng Wenshi: "The past is hard to recall. I was a bit of a germaphobe back then. Thank you for tolerating me."
Wan Chengwang rarely complained: "You are not just an ordinary mysophobia. You would rather die than sit on the sofa in the living room because you dislike the bacteria."
Meng Wenshi said bitterly, "Stop talking. Ever since I was scolded by Coach Zhang for over a month, I can sleep in a mud pit without any problem."
Several people laughed together.
Wan Cheng looked at the round moon that looked like a jade plate and sighed, "Now that you two are gone, he and I will have to stay at the base for a few more months. It's going to be tiresome."
Jing Yuhang took a big gulp of beer, his face flushed, and he felt a little drunk. "We agreed that it would take at most six months, but now a year has almost passed and there is still no sign of a film. I want to go back to City C."
Meng Wenshi took out his phone and flipped through it. "It's almost time. I heard the second assessment will be on the sixth of next month. You two must be the awakened ones in the second batch of assessment."
Jing Yuhang's eyes lit up: "You are well-informed. Now I feel relieved."
Wan Chengwang smiled and said, "You're already so old, but you still miss home. Don't you want to go somewhere else? Many of us are planning to join the army, and I plan to give it a try too."
Jing Yuhang sighed, "There are always people who are better than you. Even if the Central Spiritual Brigade doesn't like me, it's not bad to go back to the Special Bureau of City C."
Meng Wenshi was surprised: "That shouldn't be the case. Your spiritual weapon is so rare. Monsters related to the Internet can only rely on awakened people like you."
"How about I ask for you?"
Jing Yuhang shook his head: "No, I asked, I know the reason."
He looked at He Junxia and said, "I don't know how long it will take for us to see each other again after this separation. You must be careful when you go to the Shuiyun Brigade. I'm too young to accept your invitation."
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
In the past year, incidents of monsters injuring people have occurred frequently, and high-level monsters that only appear once every one or two years have also sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
A few months ago, the government stopped suppressing and concealing news about monsters and awakened people. Monsters and awakened people have gradually entered the public eye, but have not yet been officially announced.
In contrast, the five awakened special forces suffered heavy losses, with casualty rates approaching 70%. Behind every high-level monster that died was the heroic sacrifice of countless awakened individuals.
He Junxia stretched lazily and smiled softly: "You still want to eat my feast? That's a nice thought. Just wait and see me slaughter everyone."
"Eh----"
"Tsk tsk tsk, Song Qizheng, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant. Okay, we'll wait."
Several people burst into laughter again.
"I wish you all a safe journey. If you become rich and powerful, don't forget each other. Hahahaha."
"Come on, cheers!"
