The empire's advanced martial arts examinations test the candidates' combat prowess, endurance, brains and will.
A completely unfamiliar planet, extremely harsh environment, and mutated creatures lurking in the dark are all a great test of their comprehensive abilities.
Every candidate has the same equipment and materials, and the strict invigilation procedures ensure the fairness of this assessment to a large extent.
But complete fairness never exists.
If those children from noble and noble families have talents in martial arts, they will receive strict training from an early age and receive a large amount of resources.
Any ecological experimental star is unfamiliar to Wang Chen, who left the blue star for the first time.
Candidates who have resources may have undergone actual combat training on a certain ecological experimental star a few years ago and mastered various survival and hunting skills in advance.
How can ordinary students compare with them?
Therefore, more than 50% of the freshmen admitted to the seven major universities in the empire every year are children of nobles and nobles.
You must know that the proportion of nobles and nobles in the total population of the empire is less than 10%!
However, Wang Chen, who came through time travel, is definitely an anomaly among the civilian candidates of this year.
After walking for almost two hours, he saw a rolling mountain range in front of him.
Although the mountain in the distance is also bare, with its surface covered entirely with weathered rubble, it is much stronger than the unprotected desert Gobi.
Wang Chen immediately quickened his pace.
This body's physical quality is quite good, otherwise it would be impossible to obtain the qualifications to participate in the advanced examination.
But in order to reach his destination as quickly as possible, he still activated his psychic powers, and walking quickly turned into running, and his speed suddenly increased several times.
This is the result of Wang Chen deliberately controlling his physical exertion.
However, after running for a while, he keenly sensed something strange coming from behind.
It seemed like something was chasing behind Wang Chen.
The problem is that behind Wang Chen there is nothing but sand.
He stopped.
Then he pulled out the long sword he was carrying.
The Holy Light Empire has always respected swords, and most of the warriors have mastered superb swordsmanship. Many noble families also possess secret sword skills that have been passed down for hundreds of years, and they often shine in foreign wars.
Wearing swords is also a tradition for the people of the Empire. As a completely legal weapon, students in the Empire begin to learn swordsmanship, use and master swords in the primary education stage.
For this assessment, every candidate brought a standard long sword.
This sword is made of special alloy steel, and the blade has been sharpened, shining with a sharp cold light.
Wang Chen stood motionless with the sword in his hand.
The hot starlight shone on his body, like an eternal sculpture.
Suddenly, there was a slight vibration on the ground.
A few grains of sand rolled together.
Wang Chen moved suddenly.
He suddenly turned around and swung his sword, slashing hard towards the back.
At the same moment, the sand half a meter away behind Wang Chen suddenly exploded, and a thick alien long insect rose into the sky, opening its mouthparts full of sharp teeth and biting him fiercely.
As a result, it happened to hit Wang Chen's fallen sword.
Click!
The sharp blade slashed open the insect's head shell, splitting its ferocious head into two halves instantly, and gray-white slurry suddenly spurted out.
Wang Chen succeeded in the attack and immediately swept backwards, barely avoiding the splash of insect fluid.
When these liquids splashed on the sand, they sizzled and emitted gray smoke, obviously containing highly corrosive substances.
Although Wang Chen was wearing thick armor, there was no danger if he was splashed.
However, if the armor is attacked, it will be a deduction.
He subconsciously looked at the long sword in his hand and found that the blade was undamaged and its corrosion resistance was super strong.
This is still a mass-produced ordinary standard weapon!
Wang Chen once again refreshed his understanding of the empire's technological level.
Out of caution, he buried the long sword in the sand and rubbed it several times to clean off the insect fluid attached to it.
Then I started checking the loot.
The one-meter-long zerg lying on the sand was already a dead insect, and part of its body was still underground. Its overall length was far more than one or two meters.
Wang Chen or his predecessor Lu Yuan had studied courses related to mutant organisms and had some knowledge of identifying and analyzing mutant organisms, but the long worm in front of him was undoubtedly beyond the scope of his knowledge.
There are so many types of mutated creatures.
For hundreds of years, the empire has continuously invested huge manpower and material resources to transform a large number of uninhabited planets into ecological experimental stars, most of which are used for the research of mutant organisms.
It is said that the main material of gene enhancement medicine is purified from substances in certain mutated organisms!
Regarding this completely dead insect, Wang Chen did not dissect it or anything. After going around in a circle and recording more results, he continued to move towards the mountains ahead.
He then ran.
With the previous experience, Wang Chen had already achieved three results when he arrived at his destination.
It's all the same zerg.
This kind of insect lurks under the sand. It will be stimulated and attracted by the violent vibrations on the surface, and then track and attack.
Knowing this, Wang Chen's "insect fishing" went smoothly.
If it hadn't been getting dark soon, he would have been willing to continue fishing and catch more results.
All of these can be used to calculate scores!
After climbing for a distance along the rugged hillside, Wang Chen was lucky and soon found an ideal shelter construction site on the mountainside.
This location is located under a large protruding rock, surrounded by large and small stones, forming a natural shelter and protection, and it has a wide view from a high position.
Wang Chen first cleaned up the scattered rocks, then removed the multifunctional engineer shovel fixed to the side of the survival bag and started digging.
After more than an hour of hard work, a cave for shelter was completed.
It was completely dark at this time, and Wang Chen completed the final work with the help of the lighting provided in his backpack.
This small cave will be his base for the next five days.
Wang Chen will use this as a center to hunt around and accumulate his own achievements!
After moving a large stone to block the outer edge of the cave entrance, he opened his survival bag, took out individual soldier rations, and began to enjoy his dinner.
The food tastes unsatisfactory, but the energy provided is completely sufficient.
After eating, Wang Chen also drank a cup of self-heating coffee.
Just when he felt satisfied, suddenly a rustling sound came from far and near.
Wang Chen's heart moved and he immediately turned off the lights in the cave.
