Ning Zhong didn't know her and was confused by her smile, but he still smiled back a little stiffly.
The boy saw the interaction between the three people and became even more desperate.
"Is this person going to be eliminated too?" Wen Qi pointed at the young man in the pit and asked.
Fan Xiaoling nodded and said, "They are in the same team." She thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you want to beat him until he has no strength to fight back?"
Wen Qi said "Hmm..." and looked at the boy, "You can choose to run away."
The young man looked at Ning Zhong, who was staring at him eagerly, and then looked at Fan Xiaoling, who was eager to try, and decisively chose to surrender. Why should he suffer a physical pain in vain? He couldn't beat him.
But the boy still said stubbornly: "They cheated!"
Wen Qi raised his eyebrows, "Is there such a thing? Tell me more about it."
The boy climbed out of the pit and pulled the takeaway ghost out from behind the tree. He said indignantly, "They ordered the ghosts to attack us! This is not fair!"
Wen Qi looked the delivery ghost up and down, "Isn't this the ghost from the exam room?"
"Of course it is." Fan Xiaoling said seriously: "We were checked before we came in, and we definitely didn't bring any contraband. I caught it in the examination room, and then... I trained it a little and fed it two Yin Gathering Talismans."
Fan Xiaoling smiled at the takeout ghost, "He might have been strong to begin with, so it was easy for him to condense into a physical form. Oh, right!" She suddenly remembered, "Can the ghosts in the examination room get out?"
Wen Qi looked puzzled, "What are you going out for?"
The delivery ghost looked at her a little nervously and whispered, "I want to go see how my cat is doing."
"Just to see the cat?" Wen Qi said in embarrassment: "This reason is not strong enough."
The delivery man hesitated for a moment and said, "I also want to go see my parents and my girlfriend."
Wen Qi smiled, "Then I'll help you apply. It may not be approved, so don't hold out too much hope."
The delivery man immediately bowed 90 degrees, "Thank you, sir!"
After talking about the topic, Wen Qi looked at the dissatisfied boy again, "Since it is a ghost in the examination room, there is no such thing as cheating."
The boy's eyes widened, "But they asked a ghost for help!"
"If you have the ability, you can also ask ghosts for help." Wen Qi said with a smile: "In the Tianshi School, there is a faction that specializes in controlling ghosts. Don't you know?"
The boy paused and nodded reluctantly, "I know."
Wen Qi smiled and nodded, "Then there's no need for me to explain. If there's no problem, can we go now? I'm going to take you down the mountain."
The young man jumped down the pit, picked up his two male companions, one in each hand, and said politely, "I'll trouble you to take care of her."
Wen Qi picked up the long black hair and said, "Let's go." Then he turned to look at Fan Xiaoling and Ning Zhong, "Come on, Ning Guochao is watching you."
Fan Xiaoling blushed slightly and nodded vigorously.
Ning Zhong showed a hint of nervousness, "I will try my best to get more points!"
The delivery ghost also added, "I will work hard too!"
Wen Qi laughed, "I hope we won't meet again before the assessment is over."
The two men and the ghost also laughed and turned to go to the other side.
Wen Qi glanced at the time. She had wasted some time chatting, so she had to hurry up. She looked at the boy and asked, "Can you run?"
The boy immediately said, "Of course!"
Wen Qi moved his feet and rushed out, leaving behind a sentence, "Follow closely."
The young man carried two big men on his shoulders and ran after them. He was already holding his breath, and now he was even more determined, vowing that he would never let the invigilator get rid of him!
He mooed as hard as he could and soon caught up with it.
Wen Qi glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye and felt that this was almost the limit of the young man, so he didn't speed up.
After about ten minutes, after sending all four people to the foot of the mountain and handing them over to the medical team, Wen Qi turned around and went up the mountain again.
The young man caught up with them and said unwillingly: "My strength is not worse than theirs, I just have bad luck."
Wen Qi knew that he was not convinced, so instead of comforting him, he mocked him, "To be a Heavenly Master, strength is indeed important, but brains are more important. Defeating the strong with the weak is not a myth, but a careful plan behind it."
The boy was stunned in the spot, until Wen Qi's back disappeared into the woods, he suddenly realized that Wen Qi was saying that they were brainless! The boy suddenly became even angrier!
As the number of people and ghosts on the mountain decreased, the atmosphere became more tense. No one rested at night, and everyone was fighting for the few ghosts. At the same time, the fights between the candidates increased.
After completing the rescue again, Wen Qi returned to the cabin and looked at the moonlight outside the window and sighed, "I probably won't have a midnight snack today."
Ning Guochao standing by also smacked his lips with regret. Mr. Feng's cooking skills were indeed amazing.
As time went by, the invigilators gradually became more relaxed.
Feng Ce finally had time to chat with Wen Qi. Of course, they were still talking about things in the exam room.
Wen Qi calculated, "The assessment will almost be over before the third day is over."
Feng Ce said, "Hmm," and said, "Come back and have a good rest." After a pause, he said, "Let's go back to the hotel directly."
"Can we leave after the exam? Don't we need to hand over anything?"
Feng Ce smiled and asked, "What else do you want to hand over? The entire examination process is recorded by video. The subsequent score statistics are the committee's job. We don't need to worry about it."
Wen Qi also laughed, "Then when I wake up, I want to eat some cookies!"
Feng Ce of course said: "No problem, what else do you want?"
Wen Qi licked his lips and said, "I still want to eat seafood."
Feng Ce responded to every request, "I'll find someone to arrange it now."
"I still want to..." Before Wen Qi finished speaking, he heard Ning Guochao complaining beside him: "Don't think about it, I'm so hungry now."
Wen Qi blinked, stood up, and said considerately: "Then I'll go out and talk."
Ning Guochao: …
After Wen Qi left the cabin, he lowered his voice and asked, "Are the two candidates you saw earlier still here?"
Feng Ce also whispered in agreement, "Still there, and the two of them teamed up by accident."
Wen Qi said "Oh wow" with a hint of interest in his eyes, "The two great powers have joined forces."
Feng Ce hummed, "From the current perspective, this group and Fan Xiaoling's group are the strongest. They might take first and second place, but if they meet in advance, one team might not even make it into the top three."
Wen Qi sighed, "The examination room is like a battlefield, it changes rapidly, just wait for the final result."
The decisive battle broke out earlier than expected.
In the early hours of the third day, the few teams still alive on the field encountered each other in pairs.
In fact, this situation was predictable. There were only so many ghosts left. If they wanted to score points, they would inevitably follow the ghosts. It was only a matter of time before they encountered each other, and the encounter between them was also planned.
The remaining teams were all strong ones, and it would be too easy for them to take advantage of the situation in a mixed fight. Although they did not discuss with each other, they all chose a one-on-one elimination battle.
Wen Qi sat in the cabin and sighed to Ning Guochao, "These kids are still naive. It's already the final sprint stage, and they still care about fairness. Whoever can be eliminated should be eliminated. The purpose of the competition is to seize every opportunity and do whatever it takes to become the final winner."
Ning Guochao nodded in agreement, "They won't be naive for long. When they get their licenses, reality will teach them how to grow up."
Fan Xiaoling and Ning Zhong also encountered a two-person team, and this team included the two people that Wen Qi and Feng Ce were paying attention to.
There was almost no nonsense, and as soon as they encountered each other, both sides launched the first wave of probing attacks against each other.
Fan Xiaoling and the other party had a spell duel, which was so exciting that she felt like she was dreaming of the special training with Mingren. But it didn't last long, and Fan Xiaoling suddenly felt that the other party was powerless.
She was confused at first, but then she suddenly realized that not everyone had experienced the training of casting spells continuously for a whole day. For a normal Heavenly Master, being able to fight continuously for two or three hours was already very impressive.
What's more, up to now, those who remained in the examination room have not had a rest for a day and a night. Both their spiritual power and physical strength have been consumed to the extreme. The only reason they can hold on and continue fighting is because of their belief in taking first place.
The fighting spirit in Fan Xiaoling's eyes grew stronger and stronger, and she cast spells faster and faster.
Ning Zhong was also waiting for an opportunity and fighting with the delivery ghost against another team member on the opposite side.
It was obvious that the man and the ghost had all the advantages, but they just couldn't defeat the opponent. No one knew how they did it, but they managed to defend themselves so tightly.
The same thing happened to Fan Xiaoling. She always felt that she could knock her opponent down soon, but every time she just fell short, her opponent's tenacity was beyond her imagination.
The battle situation suddenly became a stalemate.
"If we continue like this, we will both suffer losses and others will benefit," the other party said.
Fan Xiaoling's eyes flashed, she slowed down the speed of casting the spell, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Let's cooperate. I admit that you are very strong. If we continue to fight, we will definitely lose, but it won't be easy for you either. Instead of consuming each other, why don't we join forces to eliminate the others first, ensure our rank, and then divide the winners."
Fan Xiaoling did not agree immediately, but said: "We can cooperate, but you can only be second."
The other party was silent.
The spells in Fan Xiaoling's hands were cast faster and faster.
The other party quickly said, "Okay." Although there was a little reluctance in his tone, it was not much. It was better than not even making it into the top three. As for dying together? Only a fool would do such a thankless and fruitless thing.
Fan Xiaoling stopped immediately and said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect that we could form a four-person team at the end. It can be considered a perfect ending."
The two people opposite each other looked at each other, feeling somewhat helpless. If they had not consumed so much energy before, it would be hard to say who would have the upper hand.
But that's how the battlefield is. Everyone gets through it this way. In the final analysis, it's all because of poor planning.
