The actual combat assessment adopts the method of drawing lots and competing against each other in pairs.
The examination room is located in the square in front of the Taihe Building. An inverted bowl-shaped transparent cover encloses a large area. This cover is the effect formed after the formation is activated. It glows with colorful light in the sun. After the candidates enter, the cover can ensure that the various spell attacks inside will not fly out of the venue and hurt the onlookers.
There is a row of seats in the north, which is for the teachers of the yellow class. Since it is an assessment, the teachers must be present to make the selection.
There is also a referee who is responsible for controlling the game and announcing the winner.
The students taking the test were standing on the east, south and west sides of the examination room, as well as some senior students who came over to watch the fun.
“Dang—dang—dang—”
After three resounding bells, the referee brought out a box and announced, "Everyone, come and draw lots! Inside the box are 110 balls, representing the number of people taking the test. Half are red, and half are white, numbered from 1 to 55. Whoever draws white ball number 1 will have their opponent draw red ball number 1, and so on for the rest."
"After being selected, you are not allowed to reveal your number plate at will, nor exchange your number plate with others. If discovered, you will be immediately disqualified from the assessment, and your score for this practical assessment will be recorded as zero! Now, begin!"
Xue Huan followed the crowd slowly and lined up. When it was her turn, she reached into the box.
There is a barrier on the surface of the box. Hands can pass through it, but spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate it, to prevent cheating.
She put her hand into the innermost part, fished out a ball and took it out. She didn't look at it on the spot, but immediately put it into the space.
My consciousness probed into the space and saw that it was a white ball, number seventeen.
Then her opponent is the person who draws the red ball number 17.
Xiao Jian was standing in line behind her. After drawing the numbered ball, he held it in his hand. After leaving the crowd, he quietly approached Xue Huan and asked, "I drew the red ball, number eight. How about you?"
Xue Huan: "...Didn't you hear what the referee just said?"
"I heard that, but the referee said that to prevent people from changing ball numbers privately. But we won't do that, so what's there to be afraid of?"
Xue Huan thought about it and agreed. Just as she was about to speak, she felt a burning gaze coming towards her. It was from Pei Ji who was sitting in the judges' seat.
He was staring at Xiao Jian beside her with a bad look.
Thinking of this person's jealousy, Xue Huan silently moved to the side, "The test is about to begin, look."
Xiao Jian looked at the stage and forgot about the number ball.
He just asked casually out of curiosity and didn't really want to know Xue Huan's ball number.
Because they cannot use external objects such as magic tools and talismans, candidates can only rely entirely on their own strength and basically can only use magic to fight. For a moment, the magic in the transparent cover is flying, colorful, and quite gorgeous, and very worth watching.
"Does it look good?" A voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Xue Huan replied subconsciously: "Not bad." The picture was even better than special effects.
It would definitely be more exciting if it were accompanied by a more exciting BGM.
After she finished speaking, she realized that the voice was not Pei Ji's. And it wasn't transmitted by spiritual consciousness, but was spoken right in her ear!
She subconsciously looked forward, but saw Pei Ji sitting there in the judging booth. When he saw her looking at him, he curled his lips at her.
At the same time, a familiar warm body came up from behind her, hugged her completely in his arms, and rested his chin on the top of her head, gently stroking it.
Xue Huan: “…”
The one sitting in front was Pei Ji, and the one hugging her from behind was also Pei Ji. The key point was that the one sitting was not an illusion. Could he have cloned himself?
Yuan Xi seemed to know what she was thinking. "Yes, that's right, it's a clone. Huanhuan, do you want to learn it?"
Although he didn't do anything out of line, but hugging her like that in public, even though she knew he was using a trick so no one else could see, she still felt a little ashamed and guilty.
After all, their current identities are teacher and student.
It's just... a little exciting.
Xue Huan patted his arm around her waist and said, "If you want to learn, wait until we get back. Now let me go, and we'll watch the competition properly."
By doing this, the exciting atmosphere of the competition was completely gone.
Yuan Xi chuckled, "Hanhuan is so heartless. She even pestered me last night and wouldn't let me—"
I was suddenly hit on the foot.
Xue Huan grabbed the skin on his hand and said, "Pei Ji, shut up."
"Okay, no more talking, let's focus on watching the competition." Yuan Xi picked her up and let her sit on his arms. Suddenly, Xue Huan's vision was much higher than everyone else's. She could see all the mountains and the situation inside the cover at a glance.
Although everyone present is a cultivator, and most of them have cultivated spiritual consciousness, this thing cannot be released casually. Otherwise, if it collides with someone else's, it may be regarded as a provocation. It's okay if you are stronger than others, but if you are weaker, others may take the opportunity to invade your sea of consciousness through spiritual consciousness and mess around with it, which would be disastrous.
Therefore, there is a rule in the college's school rules manual that prohibits releasing spiritual consciousness in public places at will, just like you cannot smoke in public places in modern times.
At this moment, the venue of this competition is obviously a public place, so everyone relies on their height to occupy an advantageous position and relies on their naked eyes to appreciate the battle situation.
Xue Huan's height is definitely not short among women, and she is even among the best. But among men, she is instantly outshone.
Therefore, the view is very obstructed.
With Pei Ji's support, she instantly became the one looking down on everyone. It was a pretty good feeling.
So she held his head and sat on his arms, feeling at ease, and watched.
As she watched, she suddenly felt like eating some melon seeds. She poked Pei Ji's face and asked him, "Do you want some melon seeds?"
As soon as Yuan Xi saw her like this, he knew that she wanted to eat it herself, but as a good husband, he couldn't expose her at this moment, so he had to follow her words and reply: "Yes."
So Xue Huan happily took out a plate of melon seeds, which were caramel-flavored. Each one was big and plump. She picked up one and put it in her mouth. With a light tap of her teeth, the melon seed kernel opened a mouth. Her dexterous tongue rolled it lightly, and the fragrant and sweet melon seed kernel fell on the tip of her tongue. She chewed it and it was fragrant.
Unfortunately, the melon seeds are too small and are gone in just a few chews. The more you eat, the more addicted you become, and you keep eating one after another.
As for the peeled melon seed shells, she threw them into the space and let the puppets use them to fertilize the fields.
Yuan Xi watched her red lips opening and closing, and her tender pink tongue rolling and sucking, so skillfully. His eyes darkened, and when she had just seized a melon seed and had not had time to eat it, he pinched her chin and kissed her, hooking the melon seed towards her.
After tasting it, it was indeed delicious.
He fixed his eyes on her as he slowly chewed and swallowed the melon seed kernel that he had snatched from her mouth. Xue Huan felt her scalp tingle as she watched him, as if he was holding her on the tip of his tongue and tasting every bit of her.
"Hanhan, I want to eat more."
Xue Huan didn't dare to provoke him at this time, lest he get angry and execute her on the spot. She said to him, "Okay, I'll peel it for you."
