Chapter 45: The Third Level
The two hundred foundation building disciples who passed the second level and waited for the third level, except for Lu Linlan, were all arranged in one place. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Lu Linlan was arranged separately in another place. Lu Linlan has no opinion on this specialization. Because, even if Lu Linlan is allowed to live with other test-taking foundation building disciples, she is still special. And there is also the possibility of being excluded by others because of its specialness.
――
This time there was no more delay. The next day, the third level begins.
Including Lu Linlan, there are a total of 200 disciples who should take the test to build a foundation. If you pass the third level, you will be hired. Therefore, the third level is ready to pass 100 people, which is equivalent to hiring 100 people. The ratio of one of the two.
The test site was a large house with a magic artifact in it. The Dharma weapon mentioned here does not indicate the grade. If you talk about the level, that magic weapon is estimated to be close to an immortal weapon.
There is room for mustard seeds inside the vessel. All the 200 test-taking disciples entered the inside of the ritual weapon, and only then did the staff of the TECO faction begin to announce the rules of the competition.
Again, a temporary platform was made. The difference is that this time there are no Yuanying monks. The people on the stage are all Jindan, and the head of Xuancheng is not here.
Of course, this does not mean that the sect does not pay attention to the third level.
It's just that because the variables in the third level are almost zero, it is enough for Jin Dan to go into battle.
――
The rules of the competition are simple: just walk, first come, first come.
Since the rules are simple, the environment for walking is definitely complicated.
In fact, it cannot be said to be complicated, but it should be said to be difficult.
First of all, it is forbidden. Along the way, you can't absorb aura, and you can't cast hair spells. The most you can do is to nourish your body with your own original aura.
Secondly, there is the temperature. After the ban, the monk became mortal. Then, in the face of the heat, the sweat comes out. The air is very dry, and as soon as sweat comes out, it evaporates immediately. So when you start on the road, it's not hard to love. But after a long time, the water inside the body is less, there is no sweat, and it begins to suffer. High temperature and dehydration are very likely to cause dizziness and coma. Because it's a competition, you won't die, but it's extremely difficult to win the competition.
Finally, there's the ground. The ground situation resembles a desert, but it is not a desert. Walking up, there is also a layer of sand. It's just that there are no dunes, no sand peaks. From the topography alone, it looks more like a plain or the Gobi, but the ground has a thick layer of sand. With this layer of sand, it will be difficult to walk. It always feels like taking a step back half a step.
There are dense road signs along the way so that test takers do not get lost. These road signs, like human services, are not so much like the arena.
――
The standard game lasts three hours, or six hours. The standard race mileage is fifty miles.
Many people may know that the normal walking speed of an adult is 4.5 kilometers per hour. Multiply by six, it equals twenty-seven kilometers. Multiply it by two, and it is equal to fifty-four miles.
Therefore, the standard race time of three hours and the standard race time of fifty miles are not unexpectedly difficult.
However, let's look at the walking speed of a child.
Naturally, the answers will not be the same. It is important to note here that the difference between the speed of an adult and the speed of a child. When an adult is 4.5 km/h, a child usually walks at a speed of 4 km/h. Does that mean that a child can walk 24 kilometers in six hours?
Of course not. The child's endurance is too poor, and the speed of four kilometers is not bad for twenty minutes. For adults, the speed of 4.5 kilometers can last for an hour.
That's right, the average adult lasts only an hour. After an hour, you need to rest and drink water. On the road again, the speed will not be 4.5 kilometers. In addition, the interval between the next break will be shortened, and eating will be added to the rest.
Therefore, the walking speed of 4.5 kilometers per hour in adults cannot be used as an excuse to determine that the competition of 50 kilometers in three hours is not difficult.
――
Actually, a lot of things are like this.
A passer-by walked into a small shop and bought something, with a turnover of two hundred yuan. It's a very ordinary little thing. However, the statistical office came, or the secretary who wrote a statement for a certain chief came. They will ask how long the customer has been in the store. Answered, walked around for about five minutes.
Well, five minutes are two hundred dollars, eight hours are equal to four hundred and eighty minutes, divided by five times two hundred, and the daily sales are 19,200 yuan. This is just about the official store that is only open for eight hours a day.
What you can do at one moment does not mean that you can do the same thing at every moment.
――
If it is easy, normal, a little difficult, and difficult to walk 50 kilometers in three hours, then the third level is just like that.
But that's not the case.
In addition to the standard race mileage, there is also a non-standard race mileage. The mileage of this road is only twenty miles.
Three hours may not be enough to walk fifty miles, but twenty miles ...... How can you finish it?
It's so easy!
――
Just because the standard game time is three hours does not mean that the game time must be three hours.
When the number of Tsukiki monks who have completed the standard mileage reaches 100, the race is immediately terminated. The reason, as I said earlier, only 100 students will be admitted.
The standard race time will only take effect if there are less than 100 friars who have completed the standard mileage.
When the standard match time is up, the game is terminated, and the Monk inside is banned.
First of all, monks who have completed the standard mileage are admitted. Before 100, the admission of monks who have completed non-standard mileage begins.
If the total number of friars who have completed the standard and non-standard mileage exceeds 100, the monks who have completed the non-standard mileage will be admitted in the order of arrival until 100.
If the total number of monks who have completed both standard and non-standard mileage is less than 100, the monks on the standard mileage will be admitted according to the distance from the end point until 100.
Finally, the monks on the road who are supplemented will have some special investigation tasks after entering the sect. Although the chances of being asked to return are not high, there are still them.
――
Well, that's the full set of rules. It's not as simple as "walking, first come, first come".
Therefore, such a competition is no longer a simple perseverance.
The first is the understanding of the rules of the comparative test. If you don't know, be sure to ask. I'm sorry at this time, but I'm really embarrassed after the game.
And then there is an estimate of one's own strength. This article is related to experience. If there is no precedent for doing things for a while and taking a break for a while, then the self-estimation may be exaggerated.
Some might talk about the environment. What I would like to add here is that after entering the magic weapon, the temperature, humidity, and ground conditions are the same as on the way to the game. Of course, monks who have never been to the desert, who have not read desert articles, who have not talked to people who have been to the desert, may underestimate the difficulties that follow.
――
What was Lu Linlan thinking? The first thing she noticed was the word forbidden spirit.
Last time, in the detention place arranged by Lin Jingsheng, Lu Linlan broke through the forbidden spirit formation. At that time, Lu Linlan had a conjecture. Perhaps, all the forbidden soul spells in this immortal cultivation world are only forbidden by the spiritual power in the traditional cultivation mode. Your own cultivation mode cannot be forbidden.
Isn't it? You'll find out right away. Therefore, Lu Linlan was a little excited.
Subsequently, Lu Linlan understood the rules of the competition. After fully understanding the rules, Lu Linlan hesitated slightly.
What she hesitated about was her grades. Whether to fight for the first, to the top, or to follow the crowd.
To be honest, in terms of Lu Linlan's comprehensive strength, it may be okay to compete for the top, but it is definitely hopeless to compete for the first. At this time, because of the forbidden spirit, hope appeared.
After thinking about it, Lu Linlan thought that as long as she passed the test and was admitted, it would be fine. The results of the competition should only be the basis for subsequent assignments. The whereabouts of their assignment have already been decided in the second level. There is no point in getting results again.
Then, there is the choice of the road. Lu Linlan decisively chose a non-standard mileage.
――
If you choose non-standard mileage, there is only one situation that is the most unlucky. In that case, the standard time has not yet arrived, but the number of monks who have completed the standard mileage has reached 100.
Will that happen?
This would have been unknown. But for Lu Linlan, it became known. This is because:
If that happens, the non-standard mileage setting becomes the ear of the deaf - the ornament. To put it more badly, it's a joke. In such a competition, no jokes are allowed. Therefore, the setting of non-standard mileage will definitely have practical significance. In other words, it is absolutely impossible to reach a hundred monks who have completed the standard mileage in a standard time. In the end, we will definitely hire monks who have completed the non-standard mileage.
In order to make it easy to establish "absolutely impossible to reach a hundred", there are also a large number of foundation building monks in the sect. Just find someone to try it a few times.
――
It's game on!
Except for Lu Linlan, the remaining 199 people all chose the standard mileage.
So, Lu Linlan "walked slowly, slowly searched, I want to find, my sweetheart ......"
I walked to a place where there was no one, switched to my own cultivation mode, and tried it, and there was no obstacle to the operation of spiritual power, and I was able to bless spiritual power on the surface of the skin such as my hands and feet. There is no need to take the sword and try again, because even in a place where spiritual power is not banned, Lu Linlan's own cultivation mode cannot bless spiritual power on the sword.
In the end, with ease, Lu Linlan completed the non-standard mileage. It took an hour and a half.
――
Because of the forbidden spirit, it is not possible to return the flying sword to the starting point. Even the Jindan staff escort is not good.
After registering, Lu Linlan asked the Jindan staff who were waiting at the finish line. Then he walked back on foot. On the way, he met several participating monks who had changed their minds.
In the end, when Lu Linlan returned to the starting point, the standard time had not yet arrived.
Although Lu Linlan will be accepted as an apprentice by Yuanying Monk after the game, none of the Jindan staff at the scene have spoken to Lu Linlan.
However, there was a lot of talk between them.
The ones who talked the most were the monks who had changed their minds.
In the beginning, it was a standard mileage. On the way, I changed my mind. What to do at that time? You need to walk back to the starting point on foot, and then walk again from the starting point.
Therefore, just from the mileage length, fifteen miles is doubled, which is thirty miles. On the standard mileage, after fifteen miles, there is no longer a chance to change your mind.
In fact, only one person changed his mind when he was eight kilometers away. The other six, all over fifteen kilometers. More than fifteen kilometers, and back to the starting point, it is more than thirty kilometers. In the end, the total mileage that those six people need to complete is longer than the standard mileage.
――
The Martial Hall Master came in. Before he walked in front of Lu Linlan, the standard time arrived.
It didn't take long for the results to come out. There are eighty-one students who have been hired for completing the standard mileage. There are two students who were hired for the main examination because they had completed the non-standard mileage. Among these two, Lu Linlan is included. The remaining 17 "monks on the way" were admitted, which was equivalent to probationary disciples.
After the results are generated, the forbidden spirit is lifted. The rest is to withdraw and other related chores.
The martial hall master took Lu Linlan, and after receiving the relevant procedures, he took out the magic weapon in advance.
Then the martial hall master took Lu Linlan and flew towards the sect. didn't catch Lu Linlan Fei, but let Lu Linlan Yujian fly with him.
