Playground in the middle of the night, in the moonlight.

Lin Ze held his breath slightly, stared intently at the white knife in his hand, and stared at the ground.

There was silence all around, and after about seven or eight seconds, a thin layer of air slowly appeared on the surface of the white knife.

"Less than eight seconds...... Still too slow. ”

Looking at the white knife that was slightly distorted on the surface, Lin Ze sighed lightly and lifted the knife.

Dao Gang's mastery was more difficult than he expected, he practiced for four nights, and the condensation time was still stuck between seven and eight seconds, not to mention that the original one minute had been shortened by half, but similar techniques were usually more difficult the later he went, and the next seven or eight seconds were shortened to less than one second, and the time used was estimated to be much more than before.

"Forget it, don't worry, anyway, my current strength should be enough to pass the graduation assessment, so I'll apply tomorrow." ”

With a plan in his heart, Lin Ze restrained his distracting thoughts and continued to practice condensing the Daogang.

The next day, after the class ended in the morning, Lin Ze went straight to Instructor Liu and applied for the graduation assessment.

Hearing this, Instructor Liu just took a deep look at him and agreed.

"The assessment took place in the afternoon, and he came to me at two o'clock. ”

Leaving this sentence, Instructor Liu turned around and left.

"What!? are you going to take the graduation exam?"

During the lunch break, after listening to Lin Ze's words, Wang Quanjin couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed.

The loud voice suddenly attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd, and many students showed shocked expressions, although they knew that Lin Ze was strong, but they didn't expect him to apply for the graduation assessment so quickly.

Su Rin also heard Wang Quanjin's exclamation, walked over, and chuckled: "Congratulations in advance on passing the assessment!"

Lin Ze was not hypocritical, and smiled and agreed: "Thank you." ”

Wang Quanjin on the side looked back and forth on the faces of the two, revealing a look of 'you seem to have an ulterior relationship'.

In any case, Lin Ze's application for the graduation assessment caused a lot of turmoil among the students, and once he passed, he would become the first trainee knife forger among the students in this batch, and he really came into contact with that vast and mysterious circle, which was enviable.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Ze came to Instructor Liu's office on time.

"Follow me!"

After meeting, Instructor Liu didn't talk nonsense, and left the office directly with Lin Ze, and came to a huge building.

At the entrance of the building stood two guards dressed in special combat uniforms with white knives at their waists.

Like "The Exercise Diary of the Strong", the world of "Wasteland Knife Language" also has no thermal weapons, and the only prevailing weapon is the knife, and among them, the white knife has the highest status and is sought after.

After all, the white knife is a weapon made of special materials, in addition to being able to absorb soul energy to evolve into a soul knife, it also has a damage bonus to insects and beasts, which can already be called a strategic-level resource.

Beyond the gate, under the leadership of Instructor Liu, Lin Ze went deep into the building, and along the way saw many men dressed in the same clothes as the guards at the door, in addition to many researchers in white coats.

In a short time, the two arrived at the door of a room.

"Go inside, you should know the content of the assessment, right?"

Seeing Lin Ze nodding, Instructor Liu didn't say more, took out the identity magnetic card and dripped it on the touch screen on the side of the door, and then turned around and left.

The door snorted open, and Lin Ze stepped in, turning his head to look at the surrounding environment.

As far as the eye can see, there is an empty and spacious room, about two-thirds the size of a playground, the floor and walls are made of solid concrete, and the ceiling is lit by rows of bright tubes.

There was an iron fence gate on the wall directly opposite the door, and above it was a protruding platform, and it didn't take long for Instructor Liu's figure to appear on the platform, looking at Lin Ze with an indifferent expression, and said slowly:

"According to the rules, when you feel that you can't beat the steel soldiers, you can shout for help, and I will help you, but that also means that you have failed the assessment!"

"Understood. Lin Ze replied calmly, he had inquired about all the rules of the assessment in advance.

In fact, the graduation assessment is also a process of evaluating the potential of the students, if only through the assessment. All you need to do is kill a steel insect, but capable students will basically not choose to stop there.

The final evaluation of the trainees is linked to the number of steel soldiers killed in the assessment, and the higher the evaluation, the more favored by the three major organizations, and the treatment and benefits that can be obtained will naturally increase.

"The assessment begins!"

With Instructor Liu's order, the iron fence door embedded in the wall clicked up, and a monster with a hideous appearance slowly walked out of the darkness.

It was a terrifying monster the size of a calf, dressed in a huge iron-gray shell, with an appearance like an insect, four strange legs like steel knives, two fierce pincers in front of its torso, and a sharp bloody mouth in the middle, and a disgusting gray liquid running down the corners of its mouth from time to time.

Steel Soldier Bugs!

A low-level insect beast, like a Zerg soldier, with a strong defensive shell and blade-like limbs, it is difficult to compete with ordinary sharp weapons, and its weakness is a fragile head.

In an instant, information related to the Steel Soldier Insect flashed in Lin Ze's mind.

After the steel soldier insect appeared, his eyes full of tyranny and cruelty fell on Lin Ze for the first time, and after raising his head and screaming sharply, the four sharp feet and limbs moved quickly, rushing towards Lin Ze like a charging chariot.

The brutal and violent aura rushed towards him, making Lin Ze's breathing tight.

Compared with the enemies of the same humans, the insects and beasts in front of them are much more hideous and terrifying, and the sense of oppression brought by the two is incomparable.

Forced to press the throbbing in his heart, Lin Ze stared intently at the rushing steel soldier insect, and when the two sharp pliers closed towards him, he squatted down and rolled to the side, just straightened up, the white knife in his hand stabbed out like a thunderbolt at great speed, and a silver sword light slashed in the void in an instant, and the lightning did not enter the head of the steel soldier insect before it had time to return.

Hiss!

After a painful scream, the steel soldier worm's body trembled a few times, its limbs went limp, and it collapsed on the ground without moving.

Instructor Liu on the platform couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise in his eyes, but he didn't expect Lin Ze to kill a steel soldier insect in an instant.

"Although this guy's sword skills are average, his skills are amazingly agile, and he is much faster than many experienced swordsmiths, which is really weird!"

Thoughts flew in his mind, but Instructor Liu still maintained an indifferent expression on his face, and looked at Lin Ze, who was half-kneeling in front of the corpse of the steel soldier insect without saying a word, with a solemn expression.

After killing the insect beast, the most important thing is to absorb the soul energy, the necessary steps have been taught in the class, only need to insert the white knife into the corpse of the insect beast.

It is worth mentioning that the soul energy of the insect beast after death, how much the knife caster can absorb depends entirely on the contribution to the killing of the insect and beast.

About three or four seconds later, Lin Ze pulled the white knife out of the head of the steel soldier insect, and when his eyes focused on the blade again, a line of small words slowly appeared in front of his eyes:

'White knife (steel 0.01%)'
