As the foundation-building warriors prepared intensively, one month passed in a blink of an eye.
One month later, over a hazy Grand Canyon, twenty rays of light flashed across like meteors.
"Those who get the jade card pass, and those who don't get the jade card are eliminated!"
"Any means can be used in this assessment."
"The jade plaques are placed in several conspicuous places in the canyon. They can be easily found using divine scanning, but they are not allowed to be put into storage bags and must be carried with you!"
Leng Yuexin announced the rules coldly, and the eighteen dead soldiers listened respectfully.
Although they are all in the foundation-building realm, the gap between the initial stage and the peak is not that simple.
The prestige left over the past ten years cannot be eliminated in a moment.
From this moment on the formation, it was obvious that the foundation-building warriors had been divided into large and small groups.
There are as many as four or five people, and as few as two or three people.
However, there are also those who are too weak and no monks are willing to join forces with them, so they are obviously isolated.
Xu Haoran, Chen Shan, and Gong Xinyuan, together with a foundation-building monk who joined later, formed a group.
Although the four of them are not the largest group, their overall strength is definitely not weak, so their chances of passing the assessment are not small.
Among several groups in terms of strength, he can definitely be ranked among the top three.
However, the largest group consisted of five people. When everyone was about the same strength, they undoubtedly had a huge advantage.
There are only eighteen monks participating in this assessment. If a group of nine can be formed, passing the assessment will be a sure shot.
But during more than ten years of training, many monks have already developed incomprehensible hatred among themselves.
It is almost impossible to put aside our prejudices and unite together.
"The assessment begins!"
Not long after, Leng Yuexin explained all the rules and then loudly announced that the assessment had begun.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the venue changed!
From relaxed and calm, to cold and chilling, in the eyes of some weak monks, it is almost stagnant!
"boom!!!"
The next moment, a dozen rays of light shot into the sky and rushed towards the Grand Canyon.
"Hehe~"
Some monks had sneers on their faces, barely concealing their malice, and directly led the gang to follow the lone monk.
Before the war comes, we must first clean up the "trash fish" to avoid being taken advantage of.
There are also lone monks who are afraid of death and stay at the starting point and refuse to set off. After all, those people can't do anything in front of the "Lord" and "Instructor", right?
This behavior is tantamount to slow death.
A trace of disdain flashed in Leng Yuexin's eyes, but she didn't say anything. She just flew high into the sky to report the situation to Liu Yu.
"Master Nephew Leng, you single-handedly led these dead soldiers. In your opinion, which of them can make it to the end?"
After observing for a while, Liu Yuxiao asked.
His powerful spiritual consciousness, comparable to that of the middle stage of the Golden Core, has already captured the situation of the entire Grand Canyon, and no situation can escape his control.
"Return to Master, my disciples dare not speak nonsense."
"Although it was indeed brought up by the disciples, the disciples do not know their strength after establishing the foundation, and their behavior at this time is also unpredictable."
"So I am not sure who will pass the test in the end."
Leng Yuexin shook her head and said.
"Indeed."
Liu Yu nodded lightly. Since his subordinates didn't want to say anything, they didn't force him.
After all, you have taken the benefits yourself, so you can’t not give any face to your subordinates, right?
…
"Boom boom!!!"
"Pfft~!"
In the empty and silent canyon, there was a continuous roar of magic, breaking the peace here.
Trees collapsed in pieces, the magic fire burned blazingly, and innocent birds and animals were affected, losing their lives in an instant.
Countless birds and beasts were alarmed, sensing the power that made them tremble, and fled out of the canyon in panic.
However, the commotion of the fight did not last long and soon calmed down.
At the beginning of the assessment, all the major teams, without exception, waved their butcher knives at the lone monk.
Eliminate the weak ones first to avoid being taken advantage of by them in the end.
At the first hour, the number of people was reduced to fourteen, and all the lone players were eliminated.
After killing the lone cultivator, several teams dropped into the hiding place and began to search for the whereabouts of the Jade Tablet of the Dead Soldier.
Although the speed of flying in the sky is faster, if the position is exposed too early, it is easy to be in a disadvantageous situation, so several major teams fell into the sky at the same time.
After all, the goal of this mission is the jade token, and fighting is just a means to obtain the jade token.
If it is not operated properly, even if you are strong, you may not be able to have the last laugh.
Just in this way, the canyon with a radius of dozens of miles is enough for these people to search for a while.
Next, a period of relative calm entered, with several major groups quietly looking for tokens.
At the second hour, pieces of jade tablets were discovered.
"tread"
The branch was bent under the weight, and then quickly rebounded.
But a figure has passed by.
"It's been an hour, but I've only received a jade token. The situation is a little bad."
"I wonder what the situation is like with other gangs?"
Walking quickly through the mountains and forests, Shen Shan looked a little ugly.
A few dozen feet away from him, there were three figures, none other than Gong Xinyuan and Xu Haoran.
An hour passed, but only one jade token was obtained. This made the atmosphere in the team extremely solemn, and there was a faint uneasiness spreading.
But it was still early before the end of the assessment. Although the start was unfavorable, everyone still did not have any wild thoughts.
Just like that, another hour passed quickly.
Suddenly, Xu Haoran's progress was halted because two figures appeared in his consciousness!
"It's Feng Hongyi and Shu Tiancheng."
Xu Haoran quickly recognized the two of them, his eyes narrowed and his face showed a bit of excitement.
Because there was a jade plaque hanging on each of their waists!
As long as you can get the two jade cards, as the vague "number one master", you can get a piece of it, right?
Thinking like this, Xu Haoran quietly recovered his consciousness and told Chen Shan, Gong Xinyuan and the other three people about his findings.
"Do you really want to take action?"
Gong Xinyuan frowned slightly, still hesitant.
She did not take action in killing the lone monk before, but Xu Haoran and another person completed it.
"We have no choice but to take action."
"If we continue like this, we will inevitably have to take action in the end. If we don't have the jade card in our hands then, we will only be more passive."
Chen Shan Shen Chuanyin said.
"There's nothing to hesitate about."
"If these two people are allowed to leave with the tokens and complete the task first, then we will have to fight with other teams to compete for the remaining tokens."
"By then, the risk will only be greater!"
Xu Haoran stared at Gong Xinyuan and said through his spiritual consciousness.
Looking at the other party, a trace of disgust flashed through his eyes, which was well concealed.
In his opinion, many monks died because of this woman in past elimination assessments.
At this time, he is acting coy and pretentious, which is simply unreasonable.
"kill!"
The last person made the motion of cutting his throat and only transmitted one word.
According to the prior agreement, the minority obeyed the majority. With a ratio of three to one, the four people quickly reached an agreement.
The exchange of spiritual consciousness was extremely fast, and it only took two breaths from the time Xu Haoran discovered the target to the time the four of them made a decision.
Two breaths later, the four people surrounded Feng Hongyi and Shu Tiancheng from different directions.
These two people have already obtained the Jade Card and are about to leave the canyon to complete their mission, so the direction of their progress is easy to predict.
"Do it!"
Being outside the range of the opponent's consciousness, when the agreed time was reached, the four of them took action at the same time.
"Earth Splitting Technique"
Chen Shan's hands lit up with yellow aura, and he quickly pressed the ground, and a thin crack appeared, spreading towards the target two people.
"Blood Bat Technique"
Xu Haoran slashed his palm, letting the blood spurt out and transformed into a bloodthirsty bat, flapping its wings and flying towards the target.
"Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flowers"
Gong Xinyuan also took action at the same time.
Green light shone in her eyes, and the green leaves formed a trend around her. Each leaf could penetrate gold and stone, and rushed towards the target from the jungle.
Because they could not leave Chaoyang Mountain, Liu Yu did not send out better magical weapons, so all the foundation-building dead warriors did not use magical weapons, but only used spells to fight against the enemy.
However, their spells are quite proficient, and they obviously practiced a lot after building the foundation.
"not good!"
While the four of them were taking action, a monk named Feng Hongyi sensed something was wrong based on the fluctuations of spiritual energy around them.
But when his consciousness swept away, a spreading crack was already within ten feet!
"It's not good to retreat quickly!"
Without any further thought, the two quickly retreated.
However, spell attacks also arrived from the other three directions at the same time, blocking all escape routes for the two of them.
For a time, the two of them were in danger.
"Rumble"
In the mountains and forests, the roar of magic soon sounded again.
Four versus two already has an advantage, not to mention taking the first shot will gain the upper hand, so the outcome of this battle is already doomed.
In just a dozen breaths, the roaring in the mountains and forests stopped.
"Leave quickly. The movements of the fight just now should have been noticed by other teams."
"Our whereabouts have been exposed!"
After getting the token, Shen Shan was very calm, quickly destroyed the corpse and eliminated all traces, and then said.
"good."
Xu Haoran also got a jade plaque, so he also wanted to leave quickly.
With unanimous opinions, the four of them packed up their spoils and quickly left the place of fighting.
…
At the third hour, all nine jade tablets had been discovered.
"Hey, this little guy is a bit interesting."
"I have actually mastered the "Wood Hidden Technique". If I hadn't carefully scanned it with my spiritual sense at close range, I'm afraid even the monks of the same level wouldn't have discovered it."
"Look, this person probably used this unique spell to convince two teammates."
"What's even more interesting is that these three people actually got jade medals."
Liu Yu opened her eyes, a flash of surprise flashed through her eyes.
Wood Invisibility, a second-level low-grade spell, as the name suggests, is a spell that is supplemented by vegetation and plants to achieve the effect of invisibility.
The more luxuriant the vegetation in the environment, the stronger the effect of this technique, and while being invisible, it can also avoid ordinary spiritual detection and can move.
It's just that the three people disappeared with three jade tokens, and the remaining nine people competed for six tokens, which will undoubtedly make the competition more fierce.
"interesting."
Liu Yu lowered his escape light slightly and was ready to take action at any time to avoid excessive casualties and kept the number of people at nine.
At the fourth hour, Chenshan's team, which already had three jade tokens, did not find the token, but they already had three jade tokens at this time, so they were not too worried.
After five, six, seven, and ten hours, they still didn't find the jade plaque, and gradually felt something was wrong.
Because at this time, Shen Shan and the others had already searched almost all the places in the canyon!
"Could it be that a monk has already left with the jade token?"
Thinking like this, the atmosphere in Shen Shan's team suddenly changed. The three people with jade tokens looked at the one without jade tokens in a slightly subtle way.
But at this moment, Xu Haoran's spiritual sense was touched, and he suddenly looked to the side of the jungle and shouted:
"who is it?!"
Hearing this, the three of them looked over.
"Bah, bang, bang," a male cultivator with an eyepatch on his left eye clapped and walked out of the jungle, followed by four foundation-building cultivators.
The most important thing is that these five people actually only have three jade tokens.
"It's difficult."
Chen Shan and Gong Xinyuan looked at each other, and this thought flashed through their minds at the same time.
"The tacit understanding between several fellow Taoists is truly extraordinary. They have actually found three jade tablets."
"It's not like me who waited and still gained very little."
"I have a gracious request. I wonder if some Taoist friends can lend me two jade tokens?"
The one-eyed male cultivator said angrily.
When the last sentence was said, the five of them took a step forward together, pressing their spiritual pressure towards Shen Shan and others.
In fact, they couldn't find the token for a long time, and the five cyclops were even more anxious. They knew that if they continued like this, there might be a fight within the team.
I thought that the other team had already left with the token and the means to use it.
Therefore, they found the four Chenshan people, and even though the difference in strength was not as big as imagined, they were not willing to let them go.
One-Eyed Dragon knows very well that not all the opposing teams have jade cards, and they may not be able to work together when facing their own team.
That's why he deliberately acted arrogant and wanted to take a chance!
Of course, the spiritual pressure of monks of the same level will not affect Shen Shan, Gong Xinyuan and others, but the psychological oppression still exists.
After all, there is one more person on the other side!
When the foundation is built for less than a year and everyone's strength is about the same, the difference between one person and one person is enough to turn the tide of the battle!
"I wait."
Chen Shan stared at the other party intently, and his spiritual consciousness secretly sent out a message.
But before he finished speaking, he felt a burst of spiritual pressure rising into the sky, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look in shock.
I saw that Xu Haoran had turned into a streak of bloody light and flew towards the exit of the canyon, leaving the three of them behind and running away alone!
"evil creature!"
Chen Shan cursed secretly, but had no time to think about it at this time. He was about to send a message to comfort the other person, but suddenly felt another spiritual pressure rising from his side.
It is the last person without a jade medal!
This person knew very well that what the one-eyed dragon needed was a token. As long as he drew a clear line, the other party's target would not be him, so he quickly made a choice.
He was even thinking about whether it would be possible if both sides suffered losses.
One after another, two people violated their agreement and ran away from the battle. Shen Shan and Gong Xinyuan looked at each other - run away!
The next moment, the two of them also sacrificed their magic weapons and turned into escaping light and flew straight towards the exit of the canyon.
As long as you arrive at the exit, hand the token to Instructor Leng and pass the assessment, it will be considered safe.
There might be some chance of winning with four against five, but with two against five, death is almost certain, and it is no different from dying, so the two of them have no intention of fighting.
In less than a breath, four rays of light shot into the sky in succession.
"Chase!"
The one-eyed monk really did not expect this situation, but his reaction was quick enough and he quickly gave the order.
"boom"
Three rays of escaping light were in front, five rays of escaping light were behind, and eight rays of different colors cut through the white mist.
Xu Haoran did not fly directly towards the exit, but chose a roundabout way, so he was not with the eight people.
As for the last person, he was also a ruthless character, and he was actually right in front of Shen Shan and Gong Xinyuan.
This person's intention is obvious, he is looking for an opportunity to see if he can get the jade token back from his "teammate".
After all, this is the last chance. Even if there is a slight mistake and you may die immediately, you still have to take the risk!
"Bang bang bang bang"
The roar of fire snakes, fire dragons, ice blades, ice needles, and spell collisions resounded across the sky!
While controlling the escape light, the magic power in Shen Shan's body surged out like a flood that broke a bank, forming several layers of earth escape around himself and Gong Xinyuan.
"Stone Technique"
Then, he frantically pinched his magic skills with both hands, condensed earth spears and earth swords, and threw them at the five people who were chasing behind him.
Gong Xinyuan also didn't hold back, her long green hair was flying, thousands of green leaves formed a dark cloud covering the sky, and she resisted the spells bombarded from behind.
If it weren't for the abundance of vegetation here, I might not be able to exert such power!
The two of them worked together, and although it seemed extremely dangerous, they actually managed to withstand it.
If we continue like this, we can definitely hold on to the exit!
Realizing this situation, the two of them felt something in their hearts at the same time, and a smile appeared on their lips.
But before the smile even rose, it was interrupted by a sudden flash of fire ahead!
"Fire Dragon Technique"
Astonishingly, it was my good teammate who took action just now!
If this continues and the two of them reach the entrance safely, how will he have the chance to seize the token?
Isn’t it waiting to die?!
So, this person really took action and brazenly attacked the two people who were teammates just a few breaths ago!
Sensing something was wrong, Shen Shan immediately controlled the earth shield to resist.
"Bang bang bang bang"
With five earth shields shattered, the fire dragon's power was finally exhausted.
However, due to the speed of the light escape of Shen Shan and the two of them, they were overtaken by the five one-eyed monks.
If the "good teammate" from before comes back twice, the two of them will definitely be doomed!
Realizing this situation, Gong Xinyuan made a decision at the most critical moment.
She sacrificed her inferior magic weapon and flew towards the five one-eyed monks without hesitation!
"No!"
Chen Shan’s eyes are about to burst.
"Live for me and take a good look at this beautiful world!"
Gong Xinyuan sent out the last sound transmission, and then quickly burned her magic power, and the spiritual pressure around her body increased sharply.
At this moment, the green hair and the forest sea complement each other, exuding holy brilliance.
"don't want!"
No matter how Shen Shan called, Gong Xinyuan never looked back.
At this critical moment, Shen Shan could only collect his emotions and try his best to increase his escape speed.
Otherwise, Gong Xinyuan's sacrifice would be completely in vain.
With Gong Xinyuan's obstruction, the five one-eyed monks could not catch up for the time being, and the "good teammate" alone could not stop Shen Shan from approaching the exit.
Perhaps his potential was stimulated at the critical moment of life and death, and he felt that his understanding of "Stone Condensation Technique" had reached a new level.
The magic is complete!
At this time, Shen Shan's strength has gone far beyond that of a "good teammate" and has reached the level of a veteran player.
If there is enough time, it is enough to kill the "good teammate" alone
"Bang~~!"
In the roar of spells one after another, time passed unconsciously.
When Shen Shan could no longer feel Gong Xinyuan's breath, the exit was finally close!
He didn't dare to look back, so he could only move forward, but the corners of his eyes were moistening unknowingly.
Over the past ten years, scenes of mutual support gradually came to mind again!
…
"In the secular jungle, there is a rare animal, only one of its kind."
"what is that?"
Liu Yu asked.
The dark pupils looked at the lost young monk in front of him through the silver-white mask.
"It's the White Tiger, my lord."
Although he was heartbroken, he still couldn't get rid of the influence of "glazed glass mind trick". A glimmer of light returned to Shen Shan's eyes and he subconsciously replied.
"That's right."
"From now on, your codename will be White Tiger."
Liu Yu said lightly.
Having experienced "affection", you can better understand what "ruthless" is, and as a dead soldier, it is best not to have unnecessary emotions.
He is looking forward to this little guy's future performance.
Thank you to fellow Taoist Liu Xiaoyang for your support of 6500 points!
