In the following time, Shi Nan returned to daily practice, during which he also participated in the assessment arranged by Chen Zhi.
This kind of assessment is very simple for Heather. He tries to refine the elixir that he considers to be of the highest grade and quality to the maximum extent possible. Without any surprise, Heather refined the fourth-level top-grade elixir, successfully obtained the master-level alchemist qualification certificate, and received a badge with four purple gems, which meant that Heather had become a master-level alchemist.
The start day of the Elite Competition is finally coming, and this time the Elite Competition will be held in Yanjing.
In Yanjing City, there have been many spiritual practitioners in the past few days, many of them young disciples from spiritual academies and sects in various provinces.
Yanjing Purple Heaven Palace was an ancient imperial palace. In order to highlight the legitimacy of the regime and the supremacy of imperial power, the royal family built this magnificent building with the stars in the sky corresponding to the capital plan.
The south gate of Zitian Palace is also known as Yong'an Gate. Not far from Yong'an Gate City is the National Sports Center. This stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people, is the venue for the National Youth Spiritualist Elite Competition.
On January 29, 2006, the National Elite Competition finally came. This year, only freshmen aged 18-19 are allowed to participate.
Shinan arrived at the National Sports Center under the leadership of Xiang Hui and his mentors. After a series of identity confirmations, a total of 30 students and five mentors from the Lingdao College of Military Defense University stood at the venue waiting for the start of the competition.
Except for Military Defense University, all Spiritual Dao Colleges sent people here, and of course people from various sects.
But for the huge National Sports Center, the academy and sect spiritual practitioners, with a combined total of less than 2,000 people, seem particularly deserted.
After waiting for more than an hour, a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes, who could not even feel any spiritual fluctuations, floated in the air. He scanned the audience with bright eyes. He picked up a microphone and said: "This year, we in China have a total of More than 2,200 young spiritual practitioners participated in the elite competition. Each of the five major categories was divided into two sub-categories.
Let’s first talk about the combat competition category that everyone is paying more attention to. The combat is also quite special and is divided into two rounds. The first round is survival experience; the second round is the arena showdown. As long as you pass the first round, you will receive rewards provided by our Spiritual Dao Administration Bureau, and you will be qualified to participate in the second round and become the top ten in the arena showdown. , the rewards are even more generous, I hope you will take advantage of them. The other four major categories of competitions are all determined based on the grade of the corresponding refined items. As for the resource allocation of individual colleges, based on the ranking order of the five major categories, the higher the ranking, the more resources will naturally be obtained. "
"Now let me announce the rules for the first round of survival experience."
"The place for training is the Songshan monster-dense area closest to Yanjing City. There are many powerful monsters in it. Your mission is to survive there for more than five days and hunt enough monsters."
"But don't worry, everyone. We have driven all the monsters above level 4 here to the west of the dense area. There is an obvious formation boundary in the middle. They cannot get through. The east area is also the area where you are active. , the highest is a third-level monster."
"Each team member only needs to hunt one third-order monster, or three second-order Dzogchen beasts, or ten late second-order monster beasts, or twenty mid-second-order monster beasts, or thirty early second-order monster beasts. It counts as passing the first round of assessment. Let me help you do the math. The participants are a team of 10 people, that is, just multiply the number by 10."
"The voucher for the assessment is the beast's core. After the assessment, we only recognize the beast's core, not the person."
The middle-aged man announced the rules from above, and all the spiritual practitioners from the major forces below took a breath.
"Hunting three second-level Dzogchen monsters is too exaggerated."
"Monster beasts run rampant in the mountains and forests, often fighting each other. Although they have no intelligence, their fighting instincts are very terrifying. In addition, their physical bodies are strong. Under normal circumstances, a second-level Dzogchen spiritual practitioner may not be able to kill a second-level great beast. It’s a perfect monster, but if you want to pass the test, you have to hunt down three of them, which is simply too difficult.”
"With our cultivation, we can only hunt and kill mid-level second-level monsters. One person needs twenty of them..."
"However, the monster beasts in the early second level are obviously much weaker than those in the middle second level, and there are only thirty in number. It seems that the difficulty is much easier."
"Hmph, you think it's too easy. Think about it, there are so many people participating in the competition. If you want them all to pass the examination, you need to hunt at least 100,000 second-order early-stage demonic beasts. What a number is this?"
"That's right, and do you think the monsters are idiots? Once they find that they are defeated, they will definitely run away. In five days, we need to hunt thirty early second-level monsters. In other words, on average, each person will hunt every day. Six heads, it’s simply impossible.”
Heather also nodded secretly. Hunting low-level monsters seemed to give everyone a hope, but in fact, it was extremely difficult to operate.
Basically, this rule was set to eliminate 80 to 90 percent of the spiritual practitioners.
"Don't forget, the assessment only recognizes beast cores and not people. In other words, everyone can plunder the beast cores in the hands of others." At this time, a spiritual practitioner suddenly said in a deep voice.
People from different teams all stared at each other, secretly wary.
Before participating in the competition, they had already inquired about it. This kind of elite competition is very cruel every time. Not only do they have to fight powerful monsters, but they also have to be wary of other spiritual practitioners.
In fact, you have to be more careful to be wary of other spiritual practitioners. In this world, the human heart is much scarier than the monsters.
The middle-aged man paused and continued: "In order to ensure everyone's safety, before entering the training place, everyone will get a teleportation token. If your life is in danger, you only need to crush the token and it will be teleported out. , of course, in the same way, as long as the token is crushed, it means that the members of the same team need to complete the collection tasks corresponding to the transported personnel."
"The training will begin tomorrow morning, everyone, be prepared."
At this moment, specially arranged personnel began to distribute tokens.
"This should be the teleportation token uniformly formulated by the Array Master Guild." Heather swept away her mental energy and figured out the structure inside. This kind of teleportation token is very basic. There will be a gap of about one second between crushing and teleportation. , and this time is enough for other strong men to kill each other.
"No wonder the annual death rate is still so high despite the teleportation token."
So after all the projects were arranged, they were disbanded. Fortunately, there was no conflict between the two major categories of alchemy and combat.
The teams participating in the combat experience each went to the Songshan monster-dense area under the leadership of their instructors, preparing to enter tomorrow.
Early the next morning, outside the fortress of the Songshan monster-dense area, 10 people from Heather were called together by Xiang Hui.
Xiang Huuning said: "I have only one request, and that is to come back alive." "Let's go!"
As he finished speaking, a formation of light suddenly appeared in front of him. A spiritual Taoist stepped into it one after another, and then disappeared one after another.
In order to prevent being targeted, the way to enter the training place is to randomly teleport through the formation. In this way, the probability of collision between people who know each other will be much lower, so the first task of Heather's 10 people is to gather together.
Not far away, Wen Ru and others from the Xuan Yu Sect stared at the 10 people from the Spiritual Dao College of the Military Defense University, and sneered, saying: "Everyone, listen up, after entering the training place, I met the people from the Spiritual Dao College. Spiritual Taoist, no matter who is killed, as long as you kill one, I will give him a reward of one hundred sect points. If you kill a third-level spiritual Taoist, you will be rewarded with a fifth-level martial skill or a fourth-level spiritual weapon. A handful."
After hearing Wen Ru's words, the geniuses of Xuan Yu Sect were all excited.
Shinan followed the flow of people into the formation. His eyes turned white and his body became light. When he came to his senses, he was already in a dense jungle.
The formation just activated a total of three breaths, and the formation patterns circulated about three times. According to the transmission range of the random teleportation array, I should have been teleported three hundred kilometers away. "Shi Nan silently calculated in his heart.
Looked up. Ahead is a stretch of mountains with no end in sight. The lush mountain forests seem to contain endless murderous intent.
"Let's take a look around first." Ordinary people would definitely be cautious and vigilant if they fell into such a strange environment.
But Heather had a calm expression, as if on an outing, taking a leisurely stroll in this primitive mountain forest.
"Huh?" He hadn't even taken two steps when suddenly, his footsteps stopped.
"Qiang!" The sword of the holy way appeared in his hand, and Heather stabbed it to one side as if nothing had happened.
"Bang!" The ground in front of the left suddenly exploded, and a demonic beast the size of a person, like an echidna, rushed out from the ground, turned into a phantom, and bit into Heather, but Heather's sword of the holy way had already been It was already lying in front of it.
Poof! The echidna seemed to commit suicide, passing over the Sword of the Holy Path. Its violent eyes didn't even have time to show fear, and its entire head was already rising into the sky, and blood was flowing all over the ground.
"Haha, the mid-level second-order Gale Echidna is very lucky." He dug out a thumb-sized core, and Heather smiled slightly and pocketed it.
If anyone else sees this scene, they will be shocked. The Gale Echidna is one of the most terrifying monsters among the many mid-level second-order monsters.
Although its attack is average, its defense is comparable to that of a peak late-stage second-order monster, and the countless fine needles on its back contain toxins. In addition, it can burrow into the ground, making its attacks extremely cunning and mysterious. It is an ordinary late-stage second-order monster. If you encounter a peak spiritual practitioner, you will have a headache and may fall.
But in front of Heather, he was killed with one blow, which was shocking. With a sword, the body of Gale Echidna was lifted away, and Heather was just about to leave.
Suddenly - buzz! More than ten meters in front, a formation fluctuation suddenly flashed, and then, a ball of white light flashed, and a spiritual practitioner appeared in front of Heather.
It turned out to be Chong Yan who had provoked him in the Yin Yang Spirit Pond before. As soon as this person appeared, he was in a daze at first, then scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and the next moment, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
"Hey hey hey, I didn't expect this genius to be so lucky. I met you just after I came in. Hahaha, God is really not kind to me." Chong Yan was trembling with excitement...
