Ding dong, ding dong.
This day.
At eight o'clock in the morning, someone rang the doorbell.
Lin You, who was sitting at the dining table, quickly devoured the small half of the bread in his hand, took out a tissue from the table to wipe his hands, and then quickly ran to open the door.
The door is open.
The person who came was as Lin You expected, it was Xia Mu.
Last night, Xia Mu made an appointment with him to set off together this morning.
As soon as the door opened, he greeted with a smile.
"Good morning."
"Good morning, the school-wide assessment is about to begin. How have you been preparing these days?"
Lin You asked casually, today is August 19th, and the school-wide assessment on Assessment Island will officially begin today.
In order to prepare for today's assessment, Lin You has been working very hard these days.
In addition to daily magic training, he would go to the Magic Pressure Building and the Monster Training Ground.
Although the time was short, the results were remarkable.
First, after a few days of training under heavy magic pressure, the magic debris was eliminated, and the residual medicinal effects evaporated smoothly. Lin You's magic power increased by 2 points again, reaching 184 points.
Furthermore, in terms of duel points, Lin You earned a lot by cooperating with Guo Rui.
Almost 30 o'clock!
But the bad news is that Guo Rui's job has become difficult. After a few days, many freshmen already know him.
He always stayed in the Magic Pressure Building to preside over games instead of training. No matter how you look at it, it seemed a little abnormal.
Fortunately, Guo Rui had already made a plan.
He knew that with the Assessment Island approaching, everyone's attention would soon be diverted.
This is indeed the case.
This was the ultimate assessment for all freshmen in the school, especially since they knew they could earn a large number of duel points in the assessment. Who would care about those little things in the Magic Pressure Building?
Putting all this aside, there is one very gratifying thing.
That is, in just three days, the skilled black magician has successfully awakened his own combat skills with the help of the monster training ground.
As the teacher at the same venue said, a skilled black magician has a powerful awakening talent.
Of course, the multi-magic core drive of the monster training ground also maximized his talent, enabling him to achieve such a rapid awakening.
In just three days.
Lin You has done his best.
What we need to do next is to go all out.
Welcome to this assessment island.
Xia Mu smiled and said, "It's okay. After all, we don't know what kind of magic field it will be. It's enough to treat it with a normal mind."
"Magic field?"
Lin You keenly caught the key words in the other party's mouth.
"So you didn't know this?"
Xia Mu was a little surprised, but before Lin You could ask, he immediately explained, "The magic field can actually be said to be a field magic card, but its composition is much more complicated than that of an ordinary field magic card."
"To create a magic field, you first need a fixed field magic card. Then, you need a large amount of magic power and special cards to support it, so as to add various elements to the magic field."
"The most intuitive thing is that if you add a bridge card to the field, a bridge will appear on the field. This bridge can be a normal bridge, or a bridge that can transform or even talk. Different cards will add different content."
"But adding this content and stably loading it into the existing venue is quite difficult. It requires not only magic power but also soul power."
"Soul power?"
Lin You was a little surprised. His current understanding of soul power was still limited to soul connections of different intensities, but he knew nothing about the profound techniques involved.
However, Xia Mu was obviously not very clear about this. "We can't access it yet. It's good to know it exists. In short, the Assessment Island is actually the fixed field magic card in the magic field, but the content is unpredictable."
"You know quite a lot."
Lin You couldn't help but admire it, but he didn't find it strange.
After all, Xia Mu graduated from Guangmu High School, the most famous school in Jiangcheng, so it's not surprising that he knows more.
"That's nothing. When the assessment comes, it will all depend on us."
Then Xia Mu said, "Do you have anything else to prepare? It's almost time for us to set off."
"Walk."
Lin You snapped his fingers briskly. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
It’s a big competition among all the freshmen in the school, and it’s exciting just thinking about it.
What’s even more exciting is that there are said to be a large amount of duel points to be won!
Although he has made a small profit in the past few days, it is unrealistic to expect to keep making money.
Especially after the assessment island, the freshmen had a clear understanding of each other's abilities.
And this assessment, to be frank.
Even if I can't get first place.
Secondly, the first three are probably fine.
Click again, and the top five will definitely win.
As for lower?
Not very realistic.
Lin You is not afraid to set a flag for himself. With strength, he naturally has confidence. Why should he hide it?
Pretending to be an expert without saying anything?
…
Went out the door.
Nearing nine o'clock, Welcome Square.
Yes, it’s the original starting point again.
It is called the Assessment Island, but it can be unfolded in this square. This is the place for this assessment.
The assessment will officially begin at nine o'clock.
At this moment, there were already quite a few people standing in the square.
Jiangcheng College enrolls only a small number of new students each year, only 500.
But among these 500 people, almost none of those who can pass the assessment have an easy one.
That nearly 50% success rate for duelists is no joke!
500 people is not a lot, but it is also a lot if you say it is a small number.
A total of 500 people participated in the competition.
On the field, many people were discussing in low voices.
Appearing both excited and nervous.
Who wouldn’t be a genius if he could successfully enter Jiangcheng University?
Everyone was holding their breath.
Waiting for release.
Everyone wants to take this opportunity to prove their abilities in front of everyone.
Of course, I also want to see what level I am at in Jiangcheng University, which is full of talented people.
This is both an opportunity to challenge myself and a moment of self-knowledge.
Gradually, more and more people gathered.
Lin You and the other man didn't arrive early, as it was almost nine o'clock.
Not only students, but also tutors for each class are in place.
Of course, the classes have not been divided yet.
The division will have to wait until after the assessment.
At this moment, a loud and stern voice suddenly sounded, and the sound instantly covered the noise of the entire square.
"quiet!"
As soon as the voice sounded, it immediately shocked the place.
The square fell silent, and the students all looked in the same direction.
There, a middle-aged man was standing on a flying saucer, suspended in mid-air, with his hands behind his back.
As everyone's gaze focused, the middle-aged man said in a resounding voice, "I'm the vice president of Jiangcheng University, my name is Xia Yan. Today, I'm mainly responsible for organizing this major exam."
In the crowd, looking at Xia Yan in mid-air, Lin You inexplicably felt that this vice-president and Xia Mu seemed to have a bit of similarity.
Of course, only the facial features are slightly similar.
Temperamentally, the two are complete opposites.
One exudes oppression, while the other always gives people a gentle feeling like a spring breeze.
Without asking specifically, Lin You was just thinking about it.
Xia Yan continued his speech. After a few simple opening remarks, he got to the point:
"The main purpose of this assessment is not only to test your comprehensive qualities in all aspects, but also to give you an opportunity. In this assessment, if you are smart enough, strong enough, and lucky enough, you will have a good chance of gaining hundreds or even more duel points in one fell swoop."
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally quiet square was once again in an uproar.
Hundreds or even more duel points?
This is crazy!
The students' eyes were burning and their hearts were pounding.
Lin You's eyes also lit up. What kind of concentration was needed at this time?
Fight, fight to the death!
I'm going to make a lot of money no matter what!
Even though he had only been in school for a few days, Lin You deeply understood the importance of duel points.
This is the treasure that makes all kinds of wishes come true!
After successfully stirring up the emotions of all the students, Xia Yan paused for a moment, waiting for the square to quiet down again before continuing, "I'd like to clarify not only the duel points, but also the class allocation."
"At Jiangcheng University, we have established five different levels of classes, ranging from E to A. From E to C, there is no difference in the teaching level of the class instructors, but there are differences in their remuneration."
"The benefits include, but are not limited to, monthly duel point rewards, differences in the length of free use of training facilities, the issuance of special missions, etc..."
"Starting from Class B, not only will the salary be improved, but the quality of the instructors will also be further improved. Class A is undoubtedly the strongest and best-paid class. In the past, students who were able to enter Class A often participated in the advanced entrance examination, but fell short. These students, aside from the advanced students, are the top class."
"In addition to the class system, the school also has dedicated instructors for one-on-one teaching. Each of these individual instructors starts at Glory Two Star, and the strongest ones are well-deserved Master Duelists!"
When Xia Yan said this, the square began to boil again.
Master Duelist!
One-on-one teaching!
Isn’t this too dreamy?
However, after the excitement, most people returned to reality.
This kind of thing basically has nothing to do with them.
He is a master-level expert. The vice-president also said that there are only a few spots available, and I'm afraid that only the rookie kings of each school are worthy of these spots.
regret.
have no choice.
envious!
Everyone felt mixed emotions, but fortunately, they were all young people and still had the ability to self-regulate.
Don’t think about distant places, just keep your feet on the ground and move forward.
Strive to be the best version of yourself.
Lin You was also a little surprised. Master level?!
He couldn't help but think of his teacher.
The teacher said that he was the strongest and most prestigious instructor. Could it be that he was a strong master?
Lin You knew that a master-level expert had the opportunity to formally accept a disciple, and the quota was unique.
Of course, in a place like a school, even if a master-level expert is the mentor, he is not accepting a disciple, but a student, which is a different concept.
Otherwise, the Honor Level would not be qualified to accept disciples, and the school would have no need to continue.
"Regarding class assignments and instructor selection, all of this depends on your final results in this assessment."
Xia Yan brought the topic back on track and said, "Next, I will briefly explain the relevant content of this assessment."
After he finished speaking, a faint blue light surged in Xia Yan's hand, and the powerful light instantly covered all the students in the square.
The light continued to flicker.
"Watch what's in front of you."
Xia Yan's voice rang in everyone's ears. Lin You looked forward. Less than an inch away, the dark blue light and shadow of the card were gradually changing from illusory to solid.
Five seconds later.
The moment the card solidified, it seemed to recognize Lin You, gently floated towards him, and finally landed in his hands.
This is a dark blue card, but there is neither a pattern nor words on it.
"Xia Mu, what's the situation with your card?"
Lin You turned to look at Xia Mu beside him. He generously showed his card, but the result was the same as his, with nothing on it, just an empty card.
Xia Mu guessed: "This card is related to the assessment. Once we enter the assessment island, there should be changes."
As if to confirm his statement, Xia Yan then explained, "Now, each of you has a card in your hand. When you officially enter the Assessment Island, a number will appear on these cards based on your performance in the entrance exam."
"That number is your starting duel points for this assessment. During the assessment, as long as you can defeat an opponent, you will directly intercept all of that opponent's duel points."
"Therefore, if you defeat more opponents, you will have a chance to gain more duel points, but this is not absolute."
"During the assessment, each of you will be given a 'collection mission'. Only after completing the collection mission will you have the opportunity to decide whether to 'stay or leave'."
"Go means leaving the assessment. At this point, all your duel points will be calculated, and this number will serve as your final score for this assessment. Stay means continuing to participate in the assessment, but the moment you choose 'Stay', you will lose the opportunity to 'Go' this time. You will only be able to make this choice again after completing a new round of collection tasks."
At this point, Xia Yan paused, his tone becoming heavier, and added, "But I must remind you that as time goes by, your activity area will be compressed. If you fail to escape the compressed area, you will be eliminated directly. At that time, your accumulated duel points will be reduced to one tenth!"
"Therefore, you must always pay attention to your position and not stay in one place blindly. As for the specific compression conditions, you will naturally know them inside the assessment island."
"In addition, once the Assessment Island is compressed to a certain degree, it will enter the 'Danger Zone'. I advise you to complete the card collection task as soon as possible before the Danger Zone appears, so that your results can be calculated."
"Of course, high risk, high reward, that's the same here. I just hope each of you will act within your means."
Xia Yan's expression changed slightly as he continued, "Of course, there may be some other strange and bizarre settings in the assessment. I hope you won't make a fuss. Just stay calm and adapt to the situation."
While saying this, Xia Yan, who appeared serious on the outside, was actually suppressing the urge to curse.
Just the rules he just mentioned were enough to give Xia Yan a headache. It turned out that there were some hidden settings that he didn't know about. This Senior Wang hadn't changed at all!
Fortunately, the core of this assessment is still competition.
After all, everyone holds duel points, so they are all competitors.
Xia Yan was still very satisfied with this.
The main theme remains unchanged, and as for the others, he can do whatever he wants.
At this moment, the time has come.
Xia Yan immediately shouted, "Get ready, the Assessment Island is about to open!"
