Chapter 3 Do I have to report to you that I am an expert in both swords and swords?
Among the weapons distributed by the school, there are guns, but not many students are willing to choose them.
Firstly, the military exam lasts for seven days, and for a high school student, it is nothing but a fool's dream to carry enough ammunition for seven days at one time.
Secondly, using firearms to attack would cause too much noise.
Whether or not you can hit the monster is another matter. The sound of the gunshot can easily attract other monsters.
In this case, it is more convenient to just use cold weapons than to carry firearms.
Therefore, almost no one would choose firearms in the military examination.
Ji Ruo picked up a standard Miao Dao.
He originally thought that he could trigger an achievement similar to 'One day, I have a knife in my hand'.
The result was no.
So Ji Ruo took another sword and crossed it behind his back.
The teacher who distributed the weapons didn't care.
There are students like this every year. They may think that one more weapon means one more hope of survival.
Although for a warrior, only what suits him is the best, but college entrance examination candidates can only be regarded as warrior reserve.
Anyone who has not truly experienced the baptism of blood cannot be called a warrior.
Squad leader Liang Shixian followed behind Ji Ruo and saw that Ji Ruo was carrying a knife and a sword at the same time. He couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you holding a knife and a sword? Either two knives or two swords. The knife skills and sword skills are not the same!"
Ji Ruo raised his chin and said, "Do I have to report to you that I am an expert in both swordsmanship and saber-wielding?"
He did this just to trigger achievement, but it didn't.
Achievements seem to be dead.
Obviously, if a child gets a sword, he will feel a great sense of accomplishment!
Ji Ruo was not quite sure what the judgment criteria of this system were.
However, he has already mastered the Iron Sand Palm to an advanced level. If he is careful in this college entrance examination, there will be no problem.
Unfortunately, the time was too short and Ji Ruo was unable to cultivate it to the third level, 'Furnace Fire Pure Blue'.
The current proficiency level is just barely 536.
The basic skills of using various conventional weapons are required to be learned. The original body studied hard and had already mastered them.
So it's not strange that Ji Ruo also carries a sword, he knows how to use them.
Of course, the sword and sword combination is definitely an exaggeration.
Liang Shixian: “…”
The monitor frowned and said, "In short, be careful when you enter the 'examination room' and gather up with your classmates as soon as possible. There is strength in numbers, and it will be safer if we are together."
"Don't worry, I understand."
What surprised Ji Ruo was that during the past two months, he did not encounter the kind of bloody plot of being bullied by classmates that ordinary time travelers would encounter.
The students in the class are very united.
The school teachers are also very responsible.
This can be seen from the words of the head teacher three days ago and the pre-exam mobilization of the principal.
The first priority is survival.
But it doesn't matter this way. Ji Ruo's achievement system is for children, and "pretending to be slapped in the face" should not be considered an achievement for children...
"Students, follow me closely!"
After all the classmates had received their weapons, Liang Shixian let out a low cry and prepared to be the first to step into the secret realm portal.
He seemed calm and composed, but in fact his hand holding the knife was shaking, and it was unclear whether he was excited or afraid.
However, at this moment, Ji Ruo stepped forward with his sword on his back and said, "I will lead the charge!"
After saying this, Ji Ruo rushed into the portal in the astonished eyes of his classmates.
No one noticed that the moment Ji Ruo entered the portal, his hands turned red and the temperature increased dramatically.
That is the performance of Iron Sand Palm pushed to the extreme.
There was a slight sense of blockage when passing through the portal, as if jumping into water.
The next moment, Ji Ruo found that he had left the school and came to a wilderness with lush vegetation.
Ji Ruo vigilantly hid behind a tree and observed the surrounding environment as soon as possible.
"Hmm? Random Martial Arts Exam?"
Ji Ruo's brows wrinkled slightly.
Although the martial arts exam does not prohibit teamwork, the exam format will change.
For example, there is an easy difficulty level where students from the same class or school descend to the same place, or a normal difficulty level where ten people form a group, and a difficult mode where students descend completely randomly.
The reason for this is mainly to let students understand in advance what it means that plans cannot keep up with changes... In simple terms, it is to cultivate a sense of crisis.
The secret realm transmission is real-time. If it is the normal mode, then when I descend, I should be able to see the nine temporary teammates assigned to this exam.
However, there is no such thing, so this exam is a random difficulty mode.
“It’s a bit difficult.”
Ji Ruo frowned and began to observe the growth of the surrounding plants, hoping to use this to determine the direction.
However, at this moment, a cry of pain caught Ji Ruo's attention.
Ji Ruo suddenly turned around and was immediately happy.
It was just because Liang Shixian landed at the treetop, he was caught off guard and fell down, landing in the mud.
"Fortunately, I have teammates, so it's not completely random."
Ji Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, then walked forward and helped Liang Shixian up.
"Squad leader, it's fate."
"Ji Ruo?"
Liang Shixian was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked around: "A two-person random martial arts test?"
"It seems so."
Liang Shixian frowned and said, "Let's try to get together with other classmates first."
"OK."
Ji Ruo pointed at the grass and trees and said, "I arrived here before you and have roughly determined the direction. This is west. I suggest you go this way."
Liang Shixian was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
Ji Ruo said, "Go west to kill demons and monsters, go east to return home in triumph... That's what it says in Journey to the West."
Liang Shixian: “…Go east!”
Before the exam, students in Class 3 and 4 of Senior High School had already made corresponding plans for some possible exam modes.
If it is a random military exam, then after everyone arrives, they must go east, gather first, and then talk about other things.
Ji Ruo also knew this, so he said this.
The two of them walked towards the east while being alert to the situation around them.
The magnetic field in the secret realm is chaotic and the compass is useless. We can only rely on some theoretical knowledge taught in school to identify the direction.
It is not possible to look at the sun either, because there are day and night in the secret realm of Wanshou Mountain, but there is no sun or moon.
Most secret realms are like this.
Two hours later, the two met another two-man team.
Judging from the school uniform, the other party is not a student from Yuncheng No. 1 Middle School.
"Be careful..." Liang Shixian vigilantly gripped the steel knife in his hand. In this secret realm, in addition to monsters, he also had to guard against candidates from other schools.
Although the other party may not necessarily hurt you, they may not necessarily help you either.
Even under special circumstances, candidates from other schools might try to snatch the spoils obtained from hunting monsters and beasts - this was one of the criteria for judging the results of the martial arts exam.
Everyone wants to get good grades.
Therefore, the school teachers repeatedly reminded us to be careful about everything in the secret place.
Liang Shixian was right, but before he could finish his words, he saw Ji Ruo waving at him enthusiastically and said, "Hello, my two classmates. My name is Ji Ruo, and I'm from Yuncheng!"
Liang Shixian: “???”
Didn't I tell you to be careful?
The other party was a little hesitant at first, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "We... are from Haicheng, and my name is Zhang Quan."
"My name is Liu Neng."
Liang Shixian sighed when he saw this.
This careless plan really makes people worry.
No one noticed that after the two students from Haicheng responded to Ji Ruo, Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment, then walked forward with a smile on his face. While the other party was confused, he shook Zhang Quan's hand and said more enthusiastically: "It's fate that we met. How about we team up?"
"Ji Ruo, we still need to..." Liang Shixian hadn't finished speaking when he heard Zhang Quan hesitantly say: "...Okay, the spoils will be divided equally."
Ji Ruo smiled and said, "Of course!"
Liang Shixian opened his mouth.
Not going to look for your classmates?
What he didn't know was that the reason why Ji Ruo was so enthusiastic in inviting the other party to form a team was mainly because after just greeting each other, Ji Ruo received a system prompt -
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the functional achievement: being the first to greet a strange classmate in the new semester! ]
【Title Obtained: Diplomatic Spokesperson! 】
[Title - Diplomatic Spokesperson: Increases language appeal by 10%. The title effect can be increased by greeting strangers.]
[Note: Speaking is an art~]
Now that they have become diplomatic spokespersons, it would be unreasonable if they don’t form a team!
Liang Shixian sighed. Seeing that Ji Ruo had already started to "establish friendly relations" with the students in Haicheng, it would not be appropriate for him to leave, so he introduced himself. Afterwards, several people began to simply formulate the rules for distributing the spoils.
But before they could finish formulating it, something strange happened -
“Hiss~!”
The sudden hissing sound startled several students.
Ji Ruo focused his gaze, and five or six green shadows emerged from the bushes nearby.
