The examination room for the first test was not here, and after the examiner's concise opening remarks, the talisman who participated in the trial had to go to the venue.

Jing Chen said goodbye to Ling Yi, and Tong Jinsu and other people from the Danfu Alliance left the square together.

"Don't look at it, everyone is gone." Guo Qi teased.

When he first found out that Jing Chen was actually coming to compete on behalf of the Danfu Alliance, this frightened Cheng Dù no less than seeing the two of them appear in the Hidden Earth City a few days ago - he didn't expect Ling Yi to be the one by the way.

But that's okay, during the time when Jing Chen went to participate in the competition, he also had the opportunity to learn from Ling Yi

"Let's go to the plains to experience next, do you want to go together," Guo Qi invited.

Ling Yi retracted his gaze and glanced at Guo Qi, he didn't expect that the other party still had the same thoughts as himself, and then his eyes fell on the group of expectant people behind him, and said coolly, "No need, I'm used to being alone." ”

With such a clear refusal, Guo Qi shrugged helplessly, well, he almost expected such a result before he spoke.

Jing Chen followed Luo Xi's side and listened to the other party introduce the division of forces in this group of assessed people.

"Over there is Ximing Academy, which is also the strongest in the five continents, in the last genius battle, there were thirteen of the two hundred selected places, including eight martial talisman masters, two Dan talisman masters, two array talisman masters, and one instrument talisman master." Luo Xi said, nodded with a smile with the leader who looked at him opposite, and continued, "The relationship between Nanze Prefecture and Ximing Prefecture is not bad. ”

Two hundred places into thirteen is too much, how weak are other states? Thinking of this, Jing Chen was a little stunned, and asked puzzledly, "What is this Spirit Rune Academy admission exam?" ”

From the time he heard the news to the present, he has been confused by the so-called Ten Academies Great Competition, the Genius Battle, and the Discussion Dan Conference.

"Naturally, it is to select people who are qualified to enter the Spirit Rune Academy, and only when you enter there can you find a better follow-up development." Luo Xi sighed, "It's just that the younger generation of the five continents is too different from the geniuses of the Mida Domain, so they must be screened before the selection competition." ”

"It's not just the Dan Conference, the Genius Battle, but also the 'Ninety-One Discussion Array' of the Array Talisman Master and the 'Enlightenment Conference' of the Instrument Talisman Master, in the final analysis, it is equivalent to the audition of the qualifying round." There was a deep helplessness in Luo Xi's words, "But even so, the average number of people who can be selected in each state is no more than ten at a time. ”

There is the only channel in the Rune Academy, which connects the massive resources of the two worlds, and even if Wuzhou knows that he is like a low-level laborer who selects the most elite students for the above, he still fights for those resources.

Even, up to now, a few people are selected for each qualifying tournament, which has become the criterion for the strength of the continent.

"So." Luo Xi patted Jingchen on the shoulder, "You must fight for me, don't hide it, take the top three back, it's a matter of half a foot to enter the academy, let those guys open their eyes." ”

The corners of Jing Chen's mouth twitched, you really don't have to be so confident in me.

As they talked, they quickly arrived at the exam location.

Located on the south side of the Dirt City, a vast and dry land.

The soil here is not sand, the temperature is extremely high, but the ground has not dried up and cracked due to the extreme lack of water, it is like a soldering iron, hard and hot.

"Jinsu, are you okay?" Jing Chen looked at the woman beside him.

Since Meng and Hajin were not participants, they entrusted themselves with each other before they separated.

"Yes." Jin Su took a sip of water, she was more heat-resistant than the usual kraken, but the heat here was much higher than when she was in the city, taking away a lot of water from her body.

Jing Chen nodded and looked ahead.

There were about three hundred people who arrived at the first test site, and in addition to the major forces, there were also some scattered, lone Dan Fu Masters, who were gathering alone or in groups of three or two at the moment.

"Next, each of you will be given a prison fire bead, and the final fire used to judge will be based on the level of the flame caught in this bead." The person who presided over this quiz was a nine-star martial arts master.

The middle-aged man was sturdy, and he was not wearing clothes specifically designed to regulate the temperature of his skin, but he did not leave a drop of sweat in such high temperatures, and his control over himself had reached a terrible point.

"Remember, you can only catch each Prison Fire Orb once." The middle-aged man's gaze swept over the people on the field and reminded, "So, don't waste this opportunity lightly until you are sure that this is the fire you want to capture." ”

"Okay, some other precautions, I think your predecessors have also told you, I won't go into detail here, now renovate in situ, and start the trial in half an hour."

Jing Chen stared thoughtfully at the prison fire beads in his hand, and asked Luo Xidao for a while, "How can they ensure that the fire we handed in at the end must have been caught on the spot, not the one that was originally prepared?" ”

After all, the other party did not ask them to hand over the storage ring and did not check it, so there is a high chance that the cheating will be successful.

Luo Xi was explaining the use of this prison fire bead to Jin Su, and when he heard Jing Chen's question, he said with a smile, "The people who supervise the examination are all sent by the Spirit Rune Academy, and these prison fire beads are naturally made with hands and feet, how much is issued now, and how much will be recovered by then." ”

"Another point is related to the characteristics of the Stygian Fire, leaving the Netherland City, or capturing the fire and putting it into the storage ring, its fire will also be weakened by nearly seventy percent, which is no different from ordinary fire, what is the use."

"Of course, the most important thing." Luo Xi sold a pass, pointed to the high-star rank martial artists scattered around the crowd, and said, "The entire exam is under their surveillance, if you can cheat successfully, then you are also a talent." ”

"Oh, yes." Luo Xi continued, "The first exam requires you to act alone, and you can't take action against others, otherwise you will be disqualified directly, and if you have any questions, hurry up and ask them now." ”

Half an hour later, the invigilator went through the rules of the exam several times before everyone set off, and at this point, the first test of the three days began.

Jing Chen said goodbye to everyone and walked in one direction.

Acting alone is also in line with his wishes, if there are many people, it will make it difficult for him to perform, the storage ring has been filled with the food and water of the past few days, and the next thing is to rely on chance.

The prison fire bead is the size of an adult's fist, and because of its particularity, it can't be put into a storage ring, Jing Chen thought about it, took out a rope, braided a net bag, and hung it around his waist.

This place, also known as the Dry Land of the Underworld, is the hottest place in the entire Dark Earth City, occupying two-thirds of the land bounded by the Dark Earth City, and is also the only gathering place for the Dark Blood.

In view of the fact that the test was held here, the entire dry land was cleared in advance, and there was no one else except for the more than 300 people who took the test and the invigilators.

After walking for most of the day, when the sun was at its most vicious after noon, Jing Chen found a shady place on a boulder to rest, took out the water bladder and drank it in a big gulp.

Walking in this environment is the most test of endurance, and such a bad high temperature weather is undoubtedly a test for candidates.

After drinking the water, Jing Chen took out the fried small yellow croaker prepared by Ling Yi and threw it into his mouth, squinting comfortably and eating it while thinking about his next action.

According to Luo Xi, the fire is divided into seven levels, according to the rainbow color from red to purple, the darker the color, the better the quality.

Jing Chen has found a lot of Immortal Flame with his powerful divine sense along the way, but the highest is only to the yellow and orange level, and he has skipped it.

The flame level is related to the third level of alchemy, so Jing Chen made a decision at the beginning, non-green level flames are not taken, and many people should have the same idea as him.

After resting for a while, Jing Chen took out a map and spread it on the ground, and on the small animal skin, he simply marked the approximate distribution area of the Underworld dry land.

For example, the resting stone where he is now is represented by an irregular figure on it.

Naturally, this map cannot be provided by the examiner, otherwise the assessment will be less meaningful, after all, it also marks which locations are easier to capture the high-level Immortal Flame.

Jing Chen's gaze fell on the location marked in turquoise on the map, and Luo Xi had specifically mentioned the meaning of these colors when he gave him the map.

The composition of the map comes from the experience of the Dan Fu Masters who participated in the assessment in the last few sessions, and I think that each major force has its own unique one.

After thinking about it for a while, Jing Chen decided to walk on the south side of the boulder according to his feelings, which was not specifically marked on the map, so it could be seen that it was not an area rich in flames.

In the distance, a figure appeared within the sight, it was a fellow candidate, and the other party obviously also noticed someone under the boulder, and slowed down slightly.

Jing Chen fortunately stood up, anyway, he had rested enough, and according to the rules of not being able to form a team, he didn't want to cause trouble.

As he continued walking, he could only count the Immortal Flames that could be scanned with his divine sense along the way, but the slightly rising temperature made him realize that he was in the right direction.

Jing Chen drank two sips of water, and suddenly felt a spiritual power sweeping above his head, stunned for a moment, and walked forward again.

When the sky was dark, I looked along the distant horizon and saw only a barren land, and the rare withered yellow on it made this place not like a desert desolate.

In this way, the time passes.

Jing Chen took out the timber he had prepared and made a fire, and put two pieces of bacon on it.

"It's weird, too." Jing Chen held a small green and blue flame on his palm, the temperature of the irregular flame was not high, and the flame formed a "Ding" character upward.

After walking for a day, this is the highest level of fire he can encounter, and he will not let it go. However, before the end of the exam time, it will not be caught with the Prison Fire Beads.

The bacon on the fire emitted an enticing aroma, and Jing Chen wrapped the fire with spiritual power and threw it to the ground to prevent it from diving back into the ground.

After a night's rest, on the second day, Jingchen changed his strategy.

On the first day, he used his divine sense to search for the underground flames, although the effect was good, but the more high-level flames were searched, the more difficult it was to search, according to this calculation, when the flames reached a certain quality, it was not impossible for him to not be able to search.

And in the past, it's not that no one has found a purple-level Immortal Fire, the other party can do it without divine sense, there must be other ways.

But what are the other options? By simply sensing flames?

Jing Chen's gaze fell on the green flame he had captured, and he suddenly felt a sense in his heart and covered his divine sense.
