Chapter 52 Special Assessment and Rules

Chapter 52 Special Assessment and Rules

It was a little different from what Lin Shen expected.

He originally thought that the format of the exam would be a competitive competition similar to a sparring match, but it was far from what he thought.

The format of this year’s exam is ‘Array Survival’.

The name of the formation is ‘Mist Elephant Formation’!

At the beginning of the big exam, all candidates will enter the formation. What they need to do is to persist in the formation and continue to obtain more points.

There are three ways to obtain scores.

The first is to kill the fog beast.

Fog beasts are formation-defending creatures condensed from the mist-elephant formation, and will continuously attack any creature within the formation.

Candidates can get one point for killing a pneumatic first-level fog beast, two points for killing a pneumatic two-level fog beast, and so on.

The second method is relatively special. As long as the candidate stays in the formation for one minute, the candidate can get one point.

The last method is to find an altar somewhere in the formation.

There is a formation flag erected on the altar. The person who gets the formation flag and holds it for one minute will directly score two hundred points.

Each candidate who enters the formation will later receive a jade talisman. The talisman contains a spiritual thought, which can not only record the number and strength of the fog beasts killed, convert it into points, but also sense the candidate in fatal danger.

When the test takes place, the barrier will be actively released to protect the examinee and ensure that the examinee will not die.

Of course, once the latter situation occurs, it means that the candidate will be eliminated and will no longer be able to obtain points.

The top two hundred candidates with final scores will become disciples of Jiuyang Taoist Academy!

It is worth mentioning that candidates are not allowed to attack other candidates in the fog formation. Violators will be directly eliminated from the formation.

The only exception is where there is an altar.

In this area, candidates can attack each other without any punishment.

In addition, the use of all magic weapons, talismans, elixirs and other foreign objects is prohibited in the fog formation, except for storage props and ordinary weapons.

"Survival in formation? I have never heard of this type of exam!"

"You can get points just by staying in the formation? This rule is too strange!"

"Forget the first two, what's going on with the third method? Anyone who finds the formation flag can directly get two hundred points, which is comparable to killing dozens of pneumatic fifth-level fog beasts. This is purely a collision.

Luck, isn’t it unfair?”

"What do you know? This is called luck. In addition to talent and hard work, luck is also a very important factor in the way of cultivation. Who can achieve great things, who doesn't have great luck?"

"You're right, luck is also a part of strength."

"Are you allowed to attack other candidates only in the area where the altar is located?"

There was endless discussion.

The format of this major exam obviously surprised many people.

Including many children from aristocratic families, many people had a look of surprise on their faces.

Lin Shen saw this and asked Yang Zhongyi: "Don't you, the children of the aristocratic family, get the news of the big exam in advance?"

"Of course not!"

Yang Zhongyi laughed.

"The Jiuyang Sect is not the only power of the Aristocratic Family. How can we let the Aristocratic Family do whatever they want? Besides, the Aristocratic Family doesn't even bother to do such sinister things. Don't think too much of the Aristocratic Family."

Lin Shen was relieved.

But immediately, I heard Yang Zhongyi say again:

"But I have heard of this fog formation."

Lin Shen suddenly became interested: "Tell me in detail!"

"I don't know much about it. I only know that the main power of the fog elephant array comes from the 'Elephant Treasure Mist' collected in the array. This mist can be condensed into a fog beast that is almost the same as a monster beast.

The practitioners launched an attack."

"The fewer people there are in the formation, the more concentrated the Elephant Treasure Mist will be, and the more powerful the fog beast will be. At first, it will only be the pneumatic realm. When there are only two or three people left in the formation, maybe the long-breath realm fog will appear in the end."

A beast!"

Lin Shen was stunned.

No wonder the second way to gain points depends on how long you stay in the formation.

This exam not only tests the candidates' actual combat ability, luck, but also their ability to survive in battle.

"quiet!"

A clear drink sounded out of nowhere, suppressing everyone's discussion.

Ke Ya's gaze was like a sword, sweeping over the crowd. Wherever he passed, no matter ordinary students or children of aristocratic families, they all fell silent.

"The specific rules are listed on the water curtain above, and those who have objections can choose to withdraw!"

After waiting for a moment, when no one came forward, Ke Ya's solemn expression softened and he said in a deep voice:

"Very good, in that case, let's start the big exam, Mr. Cai, sorry to trouble you!"

Cai Zhonggu nodded slightly, flipped his wrist, and a formation plate full of talismans appeared in his palm.

Without seeing any movement on his part, the array suddenly burst out with blinding light, filling every inch of the square in an instant.

The candidates present felt that their vision went blank for an instant, and they subconsciously covered their eyes.

When the light dissipated, all the five hundred candidates in the square were gone and it was completely deserted.

Cai Zhonggu then stretched out his hand to fiddle with the array plate. In an instant, water mist surged in the air in front of him, quickly condensing into a giant water curtain with a width of more than ten meters and a length of more than thirty meters.

The water curtain is divided into small areas, with light and shadow surging above, and it is astonishing to see the candidates in the fog array.

Looking at the picture on the water screen, Cai Zhonggu nodded slightly, a smile flashing across his face.

"There are a lot of good seeds this year, and it can be said to be the best in the past ten years!"

Ke Ya nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, any one of these four people, Zhao Xueying, Yan Xing, Xue Feng, and Chong Yanhe, would have been enough to win the top spot in the exam in previous years, but they are all together this year."

"This just shows that our sect is developing and prospering. The disciples recruited by the Taoist Academy every year are getting better and better every year. In my opinion, this is a good thing. In the next Taoist Academy Competition, our Taoist Academy may win the championship!

"

"That's right." A smile appeared on Ke Ya's face, and he suddenly changed the topic, "Who does Mr. Cai think can win the chief position this year?"

"this"

Cai Zhonggu looked hesitant and thought for a while before hesitatingly said:

"These four people are all at the eighth level of Qi Dynasty, and their cultivation levels are almost the same. The only thing that can compete is the level of martial arts."

"As far as I know, the Blazing Sun Palm of these four people have all reached the Dacheng state. There is no distinction between high and low. The key lies in the state of other martial arts they have mastered."

Ke Ya nodded slightly.

No matter which one of these four people is extremely talented, it is really difficult to tell who is superior without a real competition.

But the only thing that is certain is that the top candidate in this year's exam will definitely be born among these four people.

"In that case, let's wait and see."

Ke Ya said no more and looked intently at the water curtain.

Cai Zhonggu also calmed down and turned his attention to the water curtain.
