Chapter 58: A Swarm of Jumping Frogs

"Haha, it's pretty. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Xixia's clothes are very compatible with her?"

October did not guess the hidden meaning of what he said, but simply regarded it as a compliment to his ingenuity.

"Well, it's nice to be good-looking. However, what I want to say is that this way of dressing will not affect the movement later? We are going to participate in a combat test, not a masquerade ball. ”

Shaking his head helplessly, this person did not understand the correct point at all.

"I just said that it is not appropriate to wear this kind of clothes, and I have to wear them in October, woo~"

Xixia has not yet been freed from her shame, and when she speaks, she unconsciously shrinks her neck, and she is embarrassed to look up at other people's eyes.

"What are you afraid of, since there is no limit to custom clothes, you just want to stand out. In this way, maybe one of the regimental commanders will directly let us become one of them because of our outstanding appearance. Isn't it, Xixia, hahahaha~"

Even such a forced explanation still cannot hide the true intention of its mischief. I am a little sympathetic to Xixia, and a typical dating friend accidentally suffers from it.

"How can there be such a thing, I'd better go back and change into sportswear. ”

Xixia really regretted that she didn't insist on her opinion, and wanted to turn back at this time, but she was dragged by October.

"No, no, it's so beautiful, why don't you show it to others. You see the instructors are here, they must be leaving soon, and if you go back, we won't wait for you. ”

The instructors have indeed appeared on the training ground together, and going back to change clothes will inevitably delay everyone's departure time, so isn't it even more embarrassing?

Xixia had no choice but to compromise and try to hide behind October and follow the others to the place where the pick-up and drop-off vehicles were parked.

After the crowd was gathered, the car drove straight to the tower of the divine sacrifice. Along the way, there was another flow of people and vehicles that kept converging towards the center of the Divine Domain.

Today's Divine Domain is a country that was restored and built with reference to the restored Divine Domain that was destroyed more than 2,000 years ago, with palaces, shrines, and sacred towers planned and built as the center, and the rest of the buildings and roads extending around the central complex in a radial shape.

This method of planning seems backward today, but it has not caused any inconvenience to the inhabitants of the Divine Realm, so it has not changed for hundreds of years. Some people even rejected any change, believing it to be disrespectful to the gods and sages.

Although the test location has been changed to the Tower of the Divine Sacrifice, the viewing place is still the arena. Because there are no such good viewing conditions outside the tower, the interior of the tower can only be moved to the center of the arena with the help of stereoscopic display technology, and the look and feel is quite close to the real object.

At the same time, a large screen was also placed outside the tower to facilitate communication with the staff and candidates here.

The assessment is mainly to highlight one's abilities in the melee, and the form is to find and snatch the phantom orbs from all over the tower. Time limit is one and a half hours, and then people are ranked according to the number of phantom balls obtained.

The Phantom Orb is hidden on the 10th to 60th floors, limiting the range of movement of the candidates. In order to prevent damage to the Tower of Divine Sacrifice, the fifty floors are still protected by enchantments.

After the rules were explained, the 150 candidates went up to the 10th floor of the Tower of Divine Sacrifice. Not from the inside, but along the small eaves that spiral up the tower, similar to climbing a winding mountain road.

The purpose of this may have been to keep the people reverent.

Walking on the tower, which is not high and reaches into the sky, there are all kinds of lifelike miracle reliefs that can almost be faked, and there is really a sense of sacredness to meet the gods.

It is no wonder that it took enormous manpower and material resources to build such a tower, which could exist as a spiritual symbol even if it had no practical effect.

Thinking about these things, he inadvertently reached the tenth floor.

Following the person in front of you into the tower through the arch, the scene in front of you was somewhat unexpected.

In fact, it is not a complete floor at all, because there is a large hole in the center of the floor, which occupies most of the entire floor. What's more, most notably, there aren't any vertical transportation routes like stairs for people to get upstairs.

A group of people ran to the edge of the cave and leaned over the railing to look up or lean over to observe. Looking down you can see the bottom, and looking up is like sitting in a well and watching the sky.

Originally, all floors were the same, with an atrium leading from the bottom to the top. In other words, the only way to reach the upper floor is to jump up through this atrium.

Maybe that's the real reason for letting them into the tower from the outside, it's better to walk in than to jump in, it's a matter of etiquette.

There was a lot of talk in the crowd again.

Looking up and measuring the height of the floor, it looked like it was about six or seven meters, and October couldn't help but complain to the judge next to him: "It seems that today I am going to turn into a group of frogs to compare my jumping power." ”

Break reciprocated with a forced smile at her witty complaints.

"I don't seem to have the skills to enhance my jumping ability, what should I do?"

But there was someone next to him who was more worried than him, and that was to look at the October sunset with a sad face.

What she was worried about was not how to go up, but if she kept jumping up in her skirt, it would be a little embarrassing underneath, because she wouldn't disguise herself even if she activated the spirit core.

"October ......"

"Huh?"

Turning his head to see Xixia who wanted to cry without tears, October asked strangely: "I remember that you seem to be able to use the notes to support yourself, is this height difficult for you?"

"It's not. ”

Xixia looked down at the fluffy skirt on her body, and couldn't help but reach out and hold it.

"It's this dress, you see. ”

After seeing her actions, October raised her eyebrows and laughed at the bare head: "Hahaha, sorry sorry, I didn't expect this to be the case." It seems that the boys today have to thank me, you can go to the front in the summer, they will definitely not want to overtake you, so you may be the first. ”

After speaking, he covered his mouth and laughed a few times ill-willedly.

I can't cry or laugh when I listen to it on the sidelines, like this kind of bad friends, we must definitely be careful to prevent it in the future.

After waiting for about ten minutes on the tenth floor, a flying machine finally came to the arch with a small screen, and everyone tried to get as close as possible to the atrium to prepare.

By the time the host on the screen pressed his right hand on the bell that was about to give the signal, the people in the tower had already maintained the jumping posture that they thought was most beneficial, and the focused expressions on everyone's faces could be seen as a sense of inevitability.

Xi Xia's ten fingers froze in the air, biting her lower lip tightly, and she couldn't care about any shame when it came to the end, so she could only concentrate on the competition.

October was more relaxed, leaning sideways against the railing with his whip, but his eyes still radiated a sharp light at the "prey" above.

Takahashi, Nakajima, Fukuoka and others also took off and jumped in their own positions.

Others are engrossed in staring at the image on the screen, hoping that the difference in speed between the image propagation and the sound propagation will be advantageous to detect the start signal before others, even if it is only a few milliseconds earlier.

Everyone was waiting for the sharp signal, like a hungry soldier waiting for the bell to start eating, all like wolves.

A resounding bell finally rings on the screen at the same time as the green light flashes, and no one will not hear it.

In an instant, the shouts in the tower suddenly burst into flames. One by one, the candidates leaped upstairs, like a flock of frogs vying to jump, as October said.

Xixia flew off the ground with a few strings of notes, and the corners of her skirt were lightly lifted by the surging air currents on all sides, and the exclamations of several boys sounded below. She had to hold the hem of her skirt with one free hand, and she complained that October had a bad idea.

Looking at the people who were struggling hard, they just held the sword and pestle in place, and had no intention of joining.

"That...... Have you forgotten something?"
