Advanced examination field.
Following the instructions on the road signs along the way, Lin You and Qi Yuxuan found this place about a quarter of an hour later.
The area of Jiangcheng University is really large.
Just walking from the Welcome Square is already quite strenuous.
At this moment, the assessment has not officially begun.
It is clearly an assessment field, but the dueling field used is exactly the same as a regular dueling field.
Quite big.
But perhaps because it was an advanced assessment, it seemed more formal.
After all, as long as you can pass this assessment, you can get the title of apprentice one-star duelist.
Even if he is only at the apprentice level, he is still a serious duelist.
The dueling areas of major duelist malls will also be open to apprentice duelists.
"Well, there's no place to sit?"
Walking into the examination hall, Lin You quickly discovered a small auditorium, but that small auditorium only had two rows and a total of about ten chairs.
In the huge examination hall, apart from the small auditorium, there were only three temporary chairs and a long table next to the duel arena. They should be used by the examiners, and no one dared to sit there.
"It doesn't matter. I've had enough rest anyway." Qi Yuxuan chuckled.
"Too."
Lin You didn't care. He just felt it was a little strange and complained casually.
Gradually, more and more people came in.
"What's going on? The school is so poor that they don't even have a few extra broken chairs?"
"Be careful what you say. Maybe this is part of the assessment, a secret one."
"Oh my god, it can't be so insidious, right?"
"Who can say for sure? I think those who are careless enough to sit on it might end up in trouble later."
Some people complained, some speculated, and some were shocked.
After these people came in, they quickly began to observe others.
Just now at the Welcome Square, there were groups of people who knew each other.
But when they get here, most of them are single.
There are very few people who travel together as a pair like Lin You and Qi Yuxuan.
There is one for the trio, no more.
Therefore, it is necessary to understand the people around you.
Those who can appear here must be the best in their respective high schools, and their strength should not be underestimated.
In the future, if they are able to become advanced students, they will naturally face various competitions.
Lin You also observed other people, but he was not thinking about anything else. He just wanted to see how many people participated in this assessment.
After a rough count, Lin You found that there were about 50 people gathered here, which was more than he had imagined.
But it's not surprising.
This is just a qualification for the exam, not a guarantee of passing.
In fact, the probability of failing the exam is quite high.
Of course, these are just what Lin You heard. We will have to wait and see what happens next.
I took out my phone and looked at it, and the time jumped to 10 o'clock.
It’s time for the advanced assessment!
Not long after, three figures suddenly appeared at the gate of the examination field.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to look over there.
Among the three people who came in, the one standing in the middle was a man wearing black sunglasses.
He is of medium build and is wearing a black motorcycle suit.
He doesn't seem like a normal school examiner, and some people might believe that he is a cold-blooded racer.
The two people next to him looked much more normal, both wearing their own T-shirts.
There is no such thing as school uniform in Jiangcheng University, and students are free to wear whatever they want.
Of course, it can’t be too outrageous.
For example, if a boy wears a sailor suit and shows off, that is definitely not allowed.
However, these two people look very young, about the same age as the other applicants, so they should also be students.
As soon as the man came in, his eyes swept towards the small auditorium like lightning. Seeing that there was no one there, he withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
Otherwise, who knows what will happen.
Noticing his gaze, many people secretly rejoiced.
At first, the small auditorium was full of people.
But as more and more people came in, listening to the discussions and with some people kindly reminding them, people kept leaving their seats.
In the end, several students who had originally thought it didn't matter felt a little scared.
I looked at the chair under my butt again. It was still red, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt something was wrong.
So they couldn't sit still anymore, fearing that this was a trap set for the students during the assessment.
In fact, those seats are not unavailable.
Those positions actually represent the number of people who passed the exam this time.
What the examiner with sunglasses has to do is to control the number of examination places.
Therefore, if a student sits down in advance, he will regard him as having extreme confidence in his own abilities.
For such people, he will increase the difficulty of the assessment.
Not too over the top, but not to be ignored either.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the man in sunglasses. The scene was silent as they watched him sit down in the 'assessment seat', which was a makeshift place made up of three chairs and a long table.
The man in sunglasses sat in the middle of the examination seat, with the two senior students on his left and right. One of them was holding a stack of information, and the other was holding a crystal ball the size of a football.
"The first one."
The man in sunglasses spoke calmly, and the senior student on his left immediately respectfully handed over a piece of information.
After taking the information, the man in sunglasses glanced at it briefly, then lost interest and said calmly, "Chen Hong, you go."
"good."
The senior student on the right, Chen Hong, put down his crystal ball and walked towards the duel arena, saying with a smile, "Which one is Zhang Rui? Come up."
Hearing his name in the crowd, Zhang Rui was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled and raised his hand and replied, "It's me."
He then trotted onto the duel arena. He had been looking forward to this test for a long time. He had seen that the man in sunglasses was under a lot of pressure and always felt that it was dangerous, but now that he saw that the senior student was in charge of the test, he felt a little relieved.
The old students of Jiangcheng University are naturally very strong.
But fortunately, there is no need to defeat him, just to perform well enough.
Thinking of this, Zhang Rui has already formulated a strategy for the battle.
In the duel arena, the two quickly positioned themselves relative to each other.
"Come on, the assessment begins."
Chen Hong said with a smile, then turned to drive his magic power, announcing the start of the assessment.
Zhang Rui also instantly activated his magic power, and both cards were activated at the same time.
【Falcon Warrior】
Warrior clan, earth attribute.
Attack power/1000, defense power/700.
A monster from the warrior clan, wearing silver-white armor and holding a scimitar, landed lightly on the field. Her head was that of a falcon, no wonder she was called a falcon warrior.
The other card activated at the same time is an Equipment Spell Card.
【Quick Attack Sword】
The effect of this card is quite special. It cannot help the Falcon Warrior increase any attack power, but the Falcon Warrior will gain a bonus of 100 attack power every time it attacks successfully.
The Falcon Warrior card itself also has special effects.
Each of her attacks will come with an additional attack damage.
But it is not as exaggerated as an attack power reversal, but it is equivalent to two monsters with an attack power of 1000 points attacking at the same time.
This effect is very suitable for the Quick Attack Sword, and the benefit each time will become 200 points.
As the Falcon Warrior's combat power increases, his attack power will become stronger and stronger.
However.
See this scene.
Chen Hong had a smile on his face. He loved dealing with students who activated equipment cards at the beginning.
The magic card flipped in front of him.
Without any warning, a silver-white lightning bolt struck down and hit the Falcon Warrior.
Zhang Rui was shocked, but soon saw that the Falcon Warrior seemed to be unharmed. However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking.
The broken one was not the Falcon Warrior, but the quick attack sword she was equipped with.
"Magic Card 'Equipment Smash'."
Chen Hong smiled broadly and said, "Just for the record, this card can destroy an Equipment Spell Card on the field. If it's as expected, the destruction of that card will have a significant impact on you, right?"
What?!
Equipment crushed?
How can there be such a magic card specifically targeting equipment cards?
The impact is more than just significant.
Zhang Rui's mentality exploded.
His deck is completely centered around Falcon Warrior + Fast Attack Sword. He has prepared a lot of cards to help Falcon Warrior hold the field, so as to ensure her development. Once she grows to a certain level, she can end the battle in one fell swoop.
But now, the sword of quick attack has been lost.
A falcon warrior with an attack power of only 1000 points will not be able to make any big waves no matter what.
The senior student sitting in the examination seat had a sympathetic look on his face.
The first one to go up was just the kind of student who bet on an equipment magic card + an ace monster. It was really miserable.
The 'Equipment Crush' in Chen Hong's deck was specially prepared for him by the man in sunglasses.
The purpose is to eat those students who bet on equipment magic cards, and there are quite a few such students.
The situation quickly got out of control.
Zhang Rui's rhythm was completely disrupted, and he couldn't find any chance to turn the situation around.
He was quickly defeated.
After losing the duel, he walked down the arena somewhat dejectedly, then suddenly looked at the silent man in sunglasses with a hint of hope.
The examiner didn't say anything. Does he still have a chance?
Zhang Rui thought anxiously, but did not say anything and did not dare to ask.
After all, he lost the duel. If he asked again, he might have had a chance to pass, but he lost it because of the questions. That would be a tragedy.
At this time, the man in sunglasses took the second piece of information handed to him by the old man next to him.
Same.
After a quick glance, he lost interest and put it aside.
The senior student called out, "Next, Wang Mingrui."
The student who was called responded, but walked onto the stage with a nervous look on his face. The core linkage of his deck was also based on a monster and an equipment magic card.
But he thought again and felt that he was still lucky.
At least in the duel just now, Chen Hong had already used up that card.
This way, there is more room for development.
With this idea in mind, Wang Mingrui went on stage.
A few minutes later.
He came back with tears in his eyes. Damn it, how can you use that card again?
He was originally hoping for a lucky break, but the moment he activated the equipment magic card, he was targeted by Chen Hong's "Equipment Crush".
It's clearly a card that has already taken effect, so it shouldn't be possible to reuse it in a short period of time.
The only explanation is that Chen Hong’s deck contains more than one Equipment Crush.
Wang Mingrui also thought of this and felt even more depressed.
Who in their right mind would have two of these in their deck?
This time, after Wang Mingrui was defeated, the man in sunglasses also did not react at all.
But he was not like Zhang Rui who could comfort himself.
Although the examiner didn't say anything, he also ignored him completely and didn't even look at him, so of course he couldn't say anything.
Failed.
Wang Mingrui was mentally prepared for this result.
He attended a key high school with a duel department. Although he achieved a good result of third place in the school's duel class, he knew that semi-professional was still semi-professional. It could produce talents, but that was purely a matter of time.
Those famous vocational high schools there can almost supply new talents to the major well-known universities in Jiangcheng every year.
As for semi-professional high schools, don’t even mention him being third.
Even if you come first, you may not pass.
The assessment is still ongoing.
One after another, until the seventh assessment was over.
For the time being, Chen Hong is still in charge of the assessment.
His total amount of magic power is obviously frighteningly high.
It is very likely that he has already entered the realm of a true 'Duelist', with a total magic power of over 1000 points.
And the duel item he used was the duel disk.
But in each duel, the strength of the cards used is controlled within an assessment level.
Lin You also saw it.
The difficulty of the assessment is greater than he imagined.
But if it were him, defeating Chen Hong would not be a problem if he gave it his all.
Of course, this defeat refers to Chen Hong under the 'assessment' standards.
At this moment, the man in sunglasses took another piece of information in his hand. When he saw the information, he obviously looked at it a few more times before putting it down and nodding.
Seeing this, the old student immediately shouted, "Next, Xiao Yi."
Xiao Yi?
Hearing this name, many people looked over.
Obviously, this rookie king from the top duel high school, Qiu Shui High School, has a good reputation.
Many people have heard of him.
In fact, there were three other people from Qiushui High School in the examination room.
Vocational colleges have not only three places for the advanced examination, there are up to three additional places. The additional places may not be effective, but if the requirements are met, you will be selected.
When the three heard Xiao Yi's name, even though they were not familiar with him, they all spoke at this moment.
"That's Xiao Yi from our school. I dare say he's not only our school's Rookie of the Year, but he'll also be the Rookie of the Year for Jiangcheng High School this year."
"To be honest, it's true."
"Although it's a bit premature to say this, it's basically correct. Xiao Yi is invincible."
Hearing them bragging about Xiao Yi, some people were unhappy and directly retorted: "Xiao Yi is invincible, where do you put Xia Mu? Do you know how powerful Xia Mu is?"
"Don't be fooled by Xia Mu's seemingly kind and friendly appearance. He gets along well with everyone, but in the duel arena, he is an absolute bully!"
They were arguing in low voices, but Lin You's eyes were fixed on the front, and he soon saw Xiao Yi walking out of the crowd.
When I saw him, I was shocked.
This isn't that person...
Oh yes, 'The Thinker'!
Is he the Rookie of the Year?
Or from Qiushui High School?
Are you sure you're not kidding me?
Lin You sighed again, perhaps this is what they mean by "don't judge a book by its cover".
No, that's not right.
Anyway, that kid's face looks... okay.
Anyway, it’s not as good as myself.
Lin You made a firm judgment in his heart.
In the duel arena.
As soon as he came on stage, Xiao Yi turned his head and glanced at the crowd.
Although his eyes seemed stern, he was actually shouting 'NO' in his heart!
There are nearly fifty people, why are there only three girls?
There were three girls, and only one of them was staring at him like a crazy fan.
Another one is indifference.
The last one even stood next to the 'roadblock'.
Xiao Yi's heart gradually collapsed, but his eyes became increasingly profound.
"Come on, classmate, let's start."
Chen Hong's voice came, Xiao Yi turned his eyes to him, secretly took a deep breath, and suddenly drove the magic power.
There was a rumbling sound, and the ground suddenly shook slightly.
The summoning light emerged, and a stone giant whose body seemed to be made of huge rocks suddenly appeared. The giant was about seven or eight meters tall, and at this moment a rock arm blocked in front of his body, just like a stone castle.
【Destiny Hero? Defender】
Warrior clan, dark attribute.
Attack power/100, defense power/2700.
The moment this monster appeared, the people watching the game couldn't help but widen their eyes and exclaimed in surprise.
Defensive strength 2700.
Is this a White Star Monster?!
Lin You was also a little surprised, but not at the 2700 defense power, but at the monster itself.
Destiny hero.
That is D?HERO.
Although D?HERO is not as well-known as E?HERO, an elemental hero, Lin You is quite familiar with this deck and did not expect to see it here.
I don’t know how complete Xiao Yi’s deck is.
In the venue, Chen Hong was also surprised.
Although it was not too difficult for him to destroy the monster.
But if we rely solely on the assessment criteria, it is hard to say how long it will take to break through this thing as thick as a city wall.
This student's deck seems to be quite powerful.
This situation is not surprising, after all, the other party is the rookie king of Qiu Shui High School.
Although he was troubled, Chen Hong did not slow down and quickly summoned a monster.
As he summoned monsters, a strange force acted on his deck.
The effect of the defender is activated. When it is in a non-attacking state, a card will be randomly drawn from the opponent's deck, and the magic cost of this card will be reduced to 0.
While the defender possesses such strong defensive power as a white star monster, negative effects also arise.
Chen Hong also noticed this. The card whose consumption was reduced to 0 happened to be a magic card. He was about to activate it, but Xiao Yi had already activated a trap card.
A pair of bright red boxing gloves suddenly fell into the hands of the defender.
【Gift of Counterattack】
The effect of this card is that when the consumption of a card in the opponent's deck is reduced to 0 due to the effect of your own card, this card can be activated. A monster on your side of the field will have a chance to directly attack the opponent.
At the same time this card took effect, Xiao Yi immediately activated another magic card.
A knight appeared, holding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, his whole body covered in dark yellow armor.
The knight suddenly switched his hands, the shield in his left hand turned into a sword, and the sword in his right hand turned into a shield.
At the moment the exchange was completed, the panel data of the Destiny Hero? Defender suddenly changed dramatically.
【Attack power/2700, Defense power/100.】
At this moment, the defender swung his fists and slammed the ground. A wave of force directly passed over the monster in Chen Hong's field and hit the soul barrier in front of him.
After being controlled from above, the soul value was only 2000 points, and it returned to zero on the spot.
The whole audience was in an uproar.
No one expected that Xiao Yi would suddenly burst out and take Chen Hong away directly.
Chen Hong was also a little surprised, but he just smiled and said, "Congratulations."
After all, it was just an assessment, and there were too many restrictions. The move just now seemed sudden and powerful, but for a duelist like him, it was very easy to defend against it.
At this moment, the examiner in sunglasses suddenly said, "Go over there and wait. You passed."
After saying that, he nodded his chin, indicating that he could sit in the small audience seats.
Xiao Yi didn't say much, his face still deep, his steps steady and powerful. People who didn't know his inner thoughts might really be deceived.
Did you see it?
This is the true combination of beauty and strength.
Having said that, he deliberately glanced in the direction of Lin You.
As luck would have it, at this moment, the man in sunglasses took over another piece of information, which was Lin You's.
The moment he saw the information, the man in sunglasses' eyes suddenly fixed.
