Chapter 480: End of Assessment
Although he sighed in his heart, Li Qi did not show any abnormality on his face.
He turned around and looked back at the relaxed girl, his eyes lingering on the staff in her hand and the three floating cannons behind her, and asked softly, "Are you a magician?"
"As you can see, it is."
The girl twirled the staff in her hand, bowed to Li Qi in a gentlemanly manner, and introduced herself: "Zoe Weber, the senior magician of the Weber family greets you."
“…”
The girl looks like a peacock spreading its tail, exuding her charm all the time.
But this look seemed a bit greasy to Li Qi. He ignored the girl's words and looked at the staff in the girl's hand again, analyzing the structure of the staff.
The staff in the girl's hand is also a flying weapon, a standard flying weapon, of the same type as the floating cannon behind her.
When Li Qi was selecting standard flying machines, he had also seen flying machines that looked like staffs. However, because he was not sure how much magic power this standard staff could increase, Li Qi chose a small arrow-like machine that was easier to control as a second choice.
Judging from the current situation, the power increase of this magic staff flying weapon should be quite high.
Otherwise, an ordinary fireball spell would not be able to display the same power as the explosive fire spell.
After analyzing the girl's approximate strength and threat level, Li Qi also took a look at the current ranking.
"third?"
Li Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
I didn't expect that the girl in front of me is actually among the top three in the region.
Zoe smiled confidently. She adjusted her robe and said to Li Qi, "Yes, if I wasn't sure I could advance, first place would definitely be mine. How about cooperating with me? If you are willing to cooperate with me, I can help you get into the top ten."
"No need." Li Qi said coldly: "Just don't disturb me."
"Tsk, quite cool."
Being rejected by Li Qi, Zoe smiled indifferently and waved her hand, "It's okay if you don't cooperate, but at least tell me your name. What's your name?"
“…”
Zoe's relentless attitude made Li Qi feel annoyed.
During the three months in Wuling Country, similar things happened countless times. Li Qi no longer had the initial novelty. He now just wanted to stay away from this guy.
A mechanic who possesses magic is different from an ordinary mechanic and is not easy to deal with. It is better not to get into conflict with him unless necessary.
Otherwise, if the two of them fight and both suffer losses, and in the end the lower-ranked candidates take advantage of them, that would not be good.
The top ten candidates should all have such thoughts, including Zoe in front of her. After confirming that Li Qi was not a member of her hostile family, she immediately gave up the idea of attacking and instead issued a request for cooperation.
It's just that Li Qi has no habit of cooperating with others, and Zoe seems to have some "bad intentions", so Li Qi chooses to stay away from her.
After a long silence, Li Qi turned around and left, but Zoe followed him and asked in front of Li Qi, "I say, don't be so cold. I've already given you my name. Even if it's just out of politeness, you should tell me your name, right?"
call out--
Li Qi didn't say anything, and what answered Zoe was three flying arrows.
Ding Dong——
The magic shield suddenly rose up. The seemingly thin blue shield was able to block the mechanic's flying arrows. It was obvious that Zoe's magical attainments were not low.
Seeing that his attack was blocked by Zoe, Li Qi did not pursue the victory. He just glanced at Zoe and said:
"Come closer to me at your own risk."
As he spoke, Li Qi stared at Zoe, and finally walked slowly into the shadow of the mechanical ruins and disappeared in front of Zoe.
Zoe didn't move until Li Qi left.
She just stared at the direction where Li Qi left with interest, stroking her chin and muttering to herself: "Interesting, it seems that my college life will not be boring in the future."
…
Two hours later, the test was over.
Li Qi successfully entered the next stage of assessment with the ninth place in the current region.
This is the final assessment.
The final assessment is a one-on-one simulated fight, but there is no such thing as a winner entering the academy or a loser leaving in disgrace.
Instead, the overall strength and combat awareness of new students are judged through their performance in battle.
Classes are divided based on these.
However, having said that, if one performs too poorly in a one-on-one battle, he or she will be kicked out of the academy. At the same time, outstanding candidates will be selected from among the candidates eliminated in the practical assessment to replace them.
Unlike actual combat assessments, one-on-one combat allows participants to carry their own exclusive flying machines or mechas, and one special equipment that does not exceed the current stage.
Li Qi was at a slight disadvantage in this regard, because he had been concentrating on training for the past three months and had not built his own flying machine.
So now he is still using the standard flying machine issued by the academy.
On the contrary, the opponent in the final assessment, the mecha master who practiced martial arts, was wearing a carefully crafted exclusive mecha.
But even so, this battle was definitely not a fierce one.
At least that's what Li Qi saw.
"Candidate F0309, please enter."
As soon as the previous group of candidates came out of the examination room, Li Qi heard his number on the radio.
He stood up expressionlessly, holding the simple staff he had made and the standard flying machine distributed by the academy and entered the examination room.
The door of the examination room closed, and a virtual projected battlefield appeared before his eyes.
When he saw the scene of the virtual battlefield clearly, Li Qi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"It's actually a desert..." Examiner Salina frowned after seeing Li Qi's examination environment.
The examiner's fellow examiner asked, "Why, are you paying attention to this boy?"
"Well, it's okay. I think he has potential. He seems to know a little bit about magic, martial arts, and alchemy. His consciousness level is also good... It's just that he's a little unlucky to face a mecha master in such an open place."
Salina nodded.
In her mind, Li Qi has already been given an admission notice. As long as Li Qi's performance is not too bad in the future, he can directly enter the academy and enter the elite class led by Salina.
Therefore, although she felt a little sad about Li Qi's bad luck, Salina was not too worried.
Instead, she wanted to know how Li Qi would exert his strength under unfavorable circumstances.
Li Qi didn't know what the examiners from outside were thinking. He stood in the desert, raised his head expressionlessly, and looked at the mecha master who was rushing towards him from a distance.
In such an open space, the system inside the mecha might have already discovered Li Qi and locked him down.
It would be useless for Li Qi to hide underground.
From the moment the venue was finalized, Li Qi was already at a disadvantage.
However, Li Qi was not panicked at all. Seeing the mecha flying over, Li Qi simply inserted his staff into the sand.
call--
The wind was howling and dark clouds were floating in the sky.
With just one move, Li Qi caused the weather here to change suddenly. Endless sand and dust were rolled up from the ground by the strong wind, covering the sky and the sun.
"Humph, just magic."
The female mecha pilot who was driving the mecha smiled when she saw this. Li Qi used the Gale Technique to blow up sand and dust to cover his own figure, which was somewhat useful when facing a magician or a martial artist of the same level.
But in the eyes of the mecha masters and mechanics, no matter how much wind and sand Li Qi raised, his figure was like a black dot on white paper, extremely obvious.
What the other party did had no effect at all except blocking his view!
But the mecha master is not a fool. She knows very well that the person who can reach the final assessment will definitely not be a single-celled organism with a single-minded mind.
The enemy's sandstorm may not only block his figure and the enemy's vision, but he may have other ideas.
But no matter what the enemy is thinking, since the mecha master can't find any suspicious traces, the best thing to do now is to attack!
This is what a martial artist should do. No matter what messy magic traps there are, just rush through them all!
“Go to hell!!”
Flames spurted out from behind the humanoid mecha, and the nearly five-meter-long mecha passed through the wind and sand barrier in an instant and came in front of Li Qi who was casting magic.
He raised his fist, and his martial arts essence merged into one with the mecha. He threw a punch with such force that a brief vacuum almost appeared around him.
It is conceivable that if this punch hits, Li Qi will definitely be eliminated.
But facing the punch that was about to hit his head, Li Qi didn't move at all and let the opponent's fist fall.
Have you given up?
Martial arts masters have quick minds and can think about many things in the one second before their fist lands.
The mecha master who practiced martial arts saw that Li Qi had no intention of dodging and did not even release the magic shield, so he became alert.
She didn't think Li Qi had given up the assessment, but instead suspected that the other party had set some other trap.
Wait... where is the opponent's flying machine? The mecha master suddenly realized that the opponent looked like a magician who could only cast magic, but in fact, his opponent was actually a mechanic!
She had confirmed the enemy's information before entering the examination room!
But why did the opponent only see magic but not flying machines? The mecha master finally realized something was wrong, but her fist had already landed, and there was no reason to retreat with her unstoppable punch. Even if she wanted to change her moves, she had to wait until the punch was thrown! Bang!
The punch was finally thrown, but it failed to hit the opponent's body. Instead, it hit a small doll that looked similar to Li Qi!
Magical stand-in doll.
In the previous life, an improved version of the substitute doll involved some spatial power. By making a substitute doll in advance, one could block the fatal blow at the critical moment.
It's a bit like the substitution technique in "Fire Ninja".
Or maybe it's a straw man in a horizontal fighting game.
Through the substitute doll, Li Qi's figure appeared behind the mecha in an instant.
Standing on the shoulder of the mecha, Li Qi's eyes sparkled, and his talent "Spiritual Eyes" was used.
After many reincarnations, the talent of spiritual pupils is no longer just the ability to see other people's basic physical characteristics such as heartbeat, temperature, blood flow rate, etc.
After several enhancements, Li Qi could sense within a radius of several miles when he used his spiritual pupils, and at the same time he had a chance to see through the enemy's weaknesses! Otherwise, in the previous actual combat assessment, even if Li Qi's flying machine had applied the cutting technique, it would not be able to penetrate the mecha master's mecha in one blow.
Seeing through the weakness is the key to Li Qi's ability to easily destroy the mecha! It is still the same now.
Li Qi had already discovered three weak spots on the mecha in front of him, and controlled the flying arrows and flying machines to drill into them.
then.
The winner is decided!
