"Well……"
When Beiguan Weibu opened his eyes with difficulty, he found that the surroundings had darkened, and only a pile of bonfires came into view. He tried to sit up, but unexpectedly the injury was too serious. The meridians were stretched in the body and hurt. Not only that, Beiguan Weibu felt that most of the muscles in his arms were torn. He wanted to recover. It's even more difficult. Moreover, I remember that when I was attacked for the last time, my right arm was hit and fractured. The fracture...
etc!
Beiguan Weibu gently moved his right arm again, and was surprised to find that apart from pain, his right arm had no other injuries!
How is this going?
"you're awake?"
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded from the darkness. Beiguan Weibu looked intently in the direction of the voice, his eyes widening in an instant.
"You are...Jue Li?!"
Beiguan Weibu couldn't believe that he would meet his classmate here, and he was... the strongest among the first-year students. Even this is possible based on emotion and reason.
Jue Li, based on the information Beiguan Weibu knows so far, this person already has a strength of up to level 23, which means that his rank is the third level of martial arts, which is a whole level higher than Beiguan Weibu. Bit! The natal attribute is earth, and according to the knowledge Qin Ya taught him, he can learn exercises and martial arts at level 16, and then he can obtain a warrior fighting skill every ten levels. This also means that Jue Li has learned at least two martial arts skills! Having martial arts skills and not having martial arts skills are completely different concepts. To put it bluntly, comparing the two is like heaven and earth!
"Well, it's really hard for you to still remember my name. If I remember correctly, you haven't had a single class in the past two months, right?" Jue Li was a little surprised that Beiguan Weibu could recognize him, After all, during every class, he would find a row of empty seats in the classroom.
"Your name is Beiguan Weibu, right?" Jue Li asked.
Beiguan Weibu nodded and said, "Yes. Thank you Brother Li for your life-saving grace. Beiguan has nothing to repay."
Jue Li waved his hand, walked to the bonfire, threw a few firewood into it, and said calmly: "No need to be like this, don't be so polite among classmates. It's easy for me." After a pause, Jue Li continued. : "Actually, I'm very curious as to why you, a person who is not even level 15, dare to complete the mission alone. Haven't you ever thought about forming a team?"
"Huh?" Beiguan Weibu was stunned when he heard this. "Didn't it say that you can't use any external force?"
This time, it was Jue Li's turn to be dumbfounded and said, "Have you really kept that assessment rule in mind?"
"ah?"
Juili looked at the confused Beiguan Weibu, feeling that he might have helped a stupid person, "Think about it, the semester has only passed two months, and the assessment issued by the school is to obtain three iron patterns and A nuclear crystal and survive for seven days, and for this task, even my current strength is not confident to complete it, or let alone the current me, I will not have the confidence even in two months."
"Why?" After hearing what Jue Li said, Beiguan Weibu asked quickly.
"If you think about it, you will understand. What is a core crystal? It is an energy crystal that can only be produced by a second-marked beast. And a second-marked beast that can condense core crystals must be at the peak of the second-marked or even third-marked beast. Tattoo or above.”
"If the strength of the second-marked beast is divided according to the human hierarchy, it should be between level 25 and 26. If it is the peak of the second-marked beast, the level will be two to three levels higher! So now I will Let me ask you, with your strength, can you complete the task alone?"
Listening to Jue Li's narration, Beiguan Weibu finally understood why from the time he entered the forest until now, all he met were people instead of tattooed beasts. yes! Working alone to complete the mission is not as efficient as forming a team to complete the mission. One person can only cover a small area, but a team can cover a large area!
I have been wandering in the forest for so long but I haven't seen a tattooed beast. It should be because someone else formed a group and cleared the area one step ahead.
but……
"Then wouldn't this be tantamount to violating the assessment rules?" Beiguan Weibu asked doubtfully.
Jue Li shook his head and said, "Think about it, what is the meaning of the assessment?"
"Check the overall quality of students? Or assess students' comprehensive abilities?" Beihuan Weibu said.
"Both, but think about it, if you can't even complete the assessment, will others judge your overall ability?"
Seeing that Beiguan had not yet taken a step, he still had a confused look on his face, and Juili simply said: "It's very simple, if I hadn't saved you, would you have been bitten to death by that flaming demon wolf?"
Beiguan Weibu nodded.
"Then if you unfortunately die in this assessment, will anyone still judge your overall quality?"
boom!
After Ju Li said this, Beiguan Weibu finally understood, and his brain suddenly became enlightened. It turns out that the real meaning of this assessment is not to complete the task, but to survive!
Indeed, if you die in this assessment, or to say the least, are rescued by the invigilator who is guarding in the dark in time, then it will be equivalent to being eliminated, and those who are eliminated are not eligible to be eliminated. The assessment is for "accepted"!
In other words, only those who survive can be considered successful!
"Does this mean that the academy is lying to us?" After Beiguan Weibu figured it out, he felt completely different.
But to Beiguan Weibu's surprise, Juili shook his head and denied it.
"Don't you think that this assessment has already started since we learned about the assessment rules?" Jue Li said in a deep voice.
"What's the meaning?"
"When Odin formulated this assessment, it contained many uncertainties, because it was impossible for the school not to know the exact strength of the two-striped beast. Indeed, the purpose of the assessment is to examine where the students' limits are. , but the rules only state that no external force or help is allowed, but this goes against our strength. In other words, if we really follow the rules step by step, I believe that none of us can complete the task. But What always bothers me is, why is the school doing this?" Juili scratched his head and said distressedly.
"It's 'break'." Beiguan Weibu said suddenly.
"Break? How do you say it?" Jue Li asked.
Beiguan Weibu pondered for a while and said: "If I guess correctly, Odin is testing our ability to choose the right option at a critical moment."
"Uh... tell me more details, I didn't understand."
Beiguan Weibu nodded, reluctantly sat up, leaned on the tree trunk behind him, and stepped back to signal Juili to give him a stick. Beiguan Weibu took a wooden stick and wrote two words on the ground.
"life?"
"Yes, we have figured out the bright line of this assessment, which is to test our survivability. The stronger our survivability, it means the longer we live. Only the longer we live, the more likely we are to complete the mission. The more you have sex, the bigger your sex will be. I'm right in saying that, right?" Beiguan Weibu said.
"Well, that's right. Then what?" Jue Li nodded and said.
Beiguan Weibu then wrote the word "rules" next to "life".
Beiguan Weibu tapped with a wooden stick and said, "This is the hidden clue for our assessment this time."
"I understand!" At this point, Jue Li suddenly became enlightened and said with a high-five.
Beiguan Weibu nodded and continued: "Yes, what Odin Academy really wants to test this time is the decision we make between 'life' and 'rules'."
"I have to say that this is a difficult choice. 'Life' means that the task can be completed, because our team can effectively protect life; 'rules' means discipline. Obeying discipline and observing discipline are also our It has to be done, but this way…”
"But you can't complete the task, right?" Jue Li continued.
"Yeah." Beiguan Weibu nodded. For the first time, he felt that Odin was really not as simple as it seemed. It was just a small midterm exam and it was already so difficult.
Teacher, it seems that the first lesson Odin taught me is far from as simple as you think...
