After passing the fifteenth level of training, Lu Ping'an's trial had actually ended early.
Lu Ping'an didn't lie. The most difficult battle for him was actually the fifth level of his second training, a tough battle with the heroic knight of the same school.
Intelligence is always the first point of battle for professionals.
The heroic knight with shield and ax had a better understanding of his own style than Lu Ping'an, and he actively avoided all effective hits.
At the same time, he also took the initiative to limit the power of Lu Ping'an's "resonance" to weapons, and continued to use his own "resonance" to offset it in battle.
When both sides' abilities fail, in the end, it can only become a competition between skills.
But this time, the double-layered can on the fifteenth floor was just empty, slow and strong.
In fact, if professionals with level 3 standard combat power were to guard the area, it would probably not be a test for the candidates, but rather a torture to death.
Even though it has a human form and seems to have intelligence, it is just a template monster like Alex and Liquor Bird. Its attack mode is mechanical and lacks flexibility.
The gap between him and a real professional is about the same as that between Jiuhuniao and Xue En, who are both at the first level.
For qualified professionals, hunting monsters of the same level is not difficult.
Perhaps some of its hardware conditions met the third-level standards, but when it relied on its metal body to withstand Lu Ping'an's slashing attack, it was doomed to fail.
Like other candidates, in the eyes of many people, only after ten levels of level 2 monsters can one have an excellent level 1 combat power.
In fact, judging from the results, this judgment is correct.
Those who have beaten 10 levels are at least level 1, those who have beaten 15 levels are basically level 2, and those who have beaten 20 levels are less than twenty, either level 3 or high-quality level 2.
Although there are a lot of people, this time there are high-quality candidates from several colleges, including senior practitioners, who have long ceased to be students.
In fact, they stopped after the 21st floor due to interference from the school.
Otherwise, if you score more points, the standard scores of other candidates will be too ugly, which will also affect the selection effect of the exam.
With Lupin's hardware, it should have been polished after 10 layers and then returned.
Now that you have passed the 15th level, you will be considered as earning money if you finish on any level.
"...At least, it's not a loss."
After taking a look at the battle ax technique (wave style) that had reached LV6, Lu Ping'an already felt that he had obtained the biggest gain from this experience.
This is the core skill of the level 2 professional Silver Talisman Ax Fighter, and the core tactics of the level 12 combat profession.
Based on what is currently displayed, even if it does not reach the third-level baseline, it should still reach the middle level of second-level.
Even though all Lu Ping'an got now was level 6, which was a reduced version of general skills, he was still extremely satisfied.
In fact, combat power is not important. What is important is that it opens a door for Lu Ping'an.
"...an ax or something, isn't it just a long handle and an ax blade? I can do a lot of tricks. The shield-axe combination of the Heroic Knight also taught me a lesson. I don't actually need it. Restricted to the shape of a two-handed axe. What suits me better may be a longer ax handle and a weirder curved blade..."
The "treasure" I have obtained now, whether it is another part-time job or integrated into my existing gameplay, is a huge gain.
But the rest of the climb to the tower made him a little bored.
"The difficulty goes up and down. I'm not used to it."
Silver light danced again, and the three living armors on the seventeenth floor shattered.
When Lu Ping'an no longer deliberately held back and took action with all his strength, the monsters in front of him couldn't stop him at all.
He no longer needs to practice in actual combat. These iron cans can only delay his time, so he can naturally start killing with all his strength.
Soon, he stood at the door of the 20th floor.
"How about giving it a try?"
This is a third-level secret realm. Generally speaking, the highest level is quasi-fourth-level monsters. If it is not too difficult to deal with...
"Excuse me, farewell, never see you again."
As soon as he entered the gate, Lu Pingan chose to give up without hesitation.
Inside, four iron cans identical to those on the 15th floor were waiting for him!
From the perspective of a secret realm manager, this probably means that "quasi-fourth-level creatures" are approximately equal to "four third-level creatures".
But for challengers, such an obvious quantitative gap can also make people give up very directly.
[The third-level secret realm 'Yongzhen's Abyss' has been completed, and Lu Ping'an's overall evaluation is 'D'. 】
When Lu Ping'an chose to give up, the feedback from the secret realm also came.
This time there was no gift from the knight, and the options given were similar to usual.
Short-term blessings no longer mean much. Although the additional "Knight Trial" is delicious, I have reached my limit and cannot enjoy it.
There will be other exam items next, and I need to go back early to adjust.
If he gets injured again, it will be very ugly when he pays back tomorrow.
After thinking for a while, Lu Ping'an decided on option C. The forbidden items were too fragrant.
"If you have the ability, just give me another bottle of shower gel... I'll go! Sir Knight, it's not that big of a deal, please just pretend I didn't say anything."
Looking at the full white jade bottle in his hand, Lu Ping'an felt like crying without tears. Is this the mistake young people make when they are addicted to oral sex?
But upon closer inspection, the results turned out to be a little better than expected.
[Wen Lair's Weapon Maintenance Fluid (quasi-spell)]
[Function: Tempered enchantment (unrated enchantment), used when maintaining metal weapons, can increase their sharpness in a short period of time. 】
The rating is not high, and there is no relevant comment from the knight, but Lu Ping'an likes it very much.
This kind of simple and practical consumable is not a problem no matter how much it is. It can also be used in actual combat... Even if you are reluctant to use it, you can still sell it at a good price.
And when he just walked out of the secret realm, he received countless gazes.
He smiled and walked towards the candidates in the ancient city who had begun to line up with his battle ax in hand.
When he walked there, everyone on the side subconsciously avoided him, giving the heavy weapon holder the space he needed.
This is not fear, but respect for the strong.
Lu Ping'an knew that one of his additional goals had been achieved.
"...Then, in the final round of battle between candidates, everyone will treat me as a melee expert and avoid close combat with me."
Lu Pingan insists on using ax skills and tries to avoid using gardener abilities, which will naturally cause other viewers to have wrong perceptions.
Someone will definitely misjudge by then, and we don’t know who will be so unlucky.
Time is coming to an end soon, and the candidates who enter the secret realm cannot hold on for long even if they want to waste time.
As the dust settled as the last candidate left, a chorus of sobs and sighs appeared in the square.
"...I, there is no hope. I have only scored less than 8 points now..."
"I'm about the same. Hey, it's too difficult. How can someone get past the 20th floor? Isn't this bullying?"
"Stop talking, is it useful to comfort yourself? Everyone will be deducted standard points. It's just a lack of strength."
The candidate who angrily accused others of "self-comfort" started crying as he spoke. Obviously, his ending was also quite bad.
At this time, Lu Ping'an realized that this was the "college entrance examination", the moment that determines the fate of many people.
"...My coefficient, my coefficient, 0.82? Is that considered good?"
The standard number of layers and standard time have been released, as well as a certain degree of difficulty correction (almost useless), which means the final score has been released.
Lu Pingping calculated it and it seemed that the score was okay.
"3.69? Is it good? My cultural score is 9.73, which means the total score is now 13.42 (15 points full score), which should be considered good."
But after looking at the crying and shouting around him and considering the poor admission rate of the Ancient City University, Lu Pingan decided to go back and ask again.
"correct....."
Lu Ping An briskly composed the text message, typed it and sent it.
"The newbie scored 3.69 in the first round of actual combat, with a total score of 13.42. Can he pass?"
Originally, where Lu Ping'an looked, a cat not far away was wagging its tail happily, seemingly doing well in the exam.
Just one glance at opening the phone made his ears stand up in anger. He turned around and glared at Lu Ping'an, lowered his head and typed a reply quickly.
"No! Get out!"
Can it pass? As mentioned before, those who get a passing score in actual combat are ruthless people, and it is not easy to get a passing score of 3 points.
In addition, he is from the logistics department (18th grade last year). As long as Lu Ping'an doesn't mess around and doesn't give up on the exam, Lu Ping'an is already stable for admission.
Looking at the text message, Lu Ping'an smiled and prepared to increase her BUFF maintenance fee again... You are about to take the second round of the actual exam, right? How dare you offend me at this time?
However, looking at the furious cat from a distance, Lu Pingan still took a deep breath of satisfaction.
"It's back, it's all back, my daily life."
Maybe, for him, watching cats jump is already a daily pleasure to relax his body and mind.
The rare diligence ended here. Lu Ping'an's condition was really not good. He got in the car and found a corner to take a nap.
When the bus took the candidates back to the city, their parents and relatives were already waiting there.
Lu Pingping left quickly, and he was not interested in doubling his sighs and whimpering.
The extreme admission rate and difficulty of this paper are destined to at least halve the number of candidates in the next round.
And before he took two steps, he suddenly slowed down.
Chris took the initiative to contact him, with a rare wavering in her words.
"....Don't look back, the believer carrying my 'sacred object' is right behind you."
