The matter of the Thousand Evil Demon Knife came to an end, Tang Yao's life was back on track, and his life after that began to become boring, practicing, going to school, working, during which he helped the Hall of Dead Bones and the Tianwen Pawnshop deal with a few cases, and at the same time, the time for the assessment of the illusionist rank was getting closer and closer, the Hall of Dead Bones had begun to collect registration information, Tang Yao naturally had to sign up, although the goal set by the old army for him was the second stage, but Tang Yao had not even reached the first stage now, so according to the rules, he could only sign up for the initial stage assessment at the most, If the assessment is successful, he can directly choose to challenge to participate in the quasi-second-stage assessment, and if he can still pass the quasi-second-stage assessment, he will be able to challenge the second-stage assessment again, in other words, if Tang Yao wants to rush to the second stage from the current rank, he still needs to be assessed three times.

After registering, he heard a few colleagues whispering, Tang Yao secretly listened to a few words, these people seemed to be discussing this rank assessment, Tang Yao overheard and knew a terrible news, this time part of the rank assessment questions were actually leaked.

In fact, every year there will be different exam questions in the examination room of each city, and the exam questions are jointly arranged by the examiners in charge of this examination room, in other words, even if the assessment is not started at the same time, it can prevent cheating between cities and cities, and because the examiner in each examination room is different every year, the questions are not the same, plus the illusion of learning attaches great importance to cheating and other behaviors, so there has never been a large-scale leakage of exam questions, but this year it has appeared and is in Tang Yao's city.

After this kind of leakage appeared, Illusion Jian immediately made an investigation, but the investigation still needed time, and the top priority was to make up for the major problem of leaking questions, so Illusion learned that he adopted an emergency plan and replaced all the examiners who should have served as Tang Yao's city assessment this time, including the chief examiner, and then let the new team of examiners come up with a set of temporary questions, because the time was too rushed, so this time the exam questions did not know what the difficulty would be, and it might even be very difficult or very simple.

Tang Yao doesn't care about this kind of thing, it's someone else's business to come up with the questions, it's his own business to deal with the exam questions, all he can do is to prepare everything, and the rest depends on whether he is a "European Emperor" or a "non-chief".

The time for the assessment is getting closer and closer, and the Tang Chao team has almost stopped all the work, and the three people in the team are preparing to cope with this assessment, and finally the day of the assessment has arrived.

With the experience of the last time, Tang Yao was much calmer this time, and met with Fang Chao at the gate of the botanical garden in the morning, Fang Chao drove Tang Yao to the Hall of Dead Bones together, and then took the bus of the Hall of Dead Bones to the examination room, this time because of the turmoil of the question, even the location of the examination room has changed, from the original villa area to a closed park in the suburbs, after getting off the bus, Tang Yao looked up and saw that it was still a crowded and lively scene, after Ao Tianchong personally cheered up, everyone began to rush to their corresponding examination room, Of course, Tang Yao walked towards the examination room of the first stage, and saw Song Shun who was already queuing outside the examination room, Song Shun is now a neutral free illusionist, so he can only register and take the exam by himself.

He was in the front, carrying a black box behind his back, Tang Yao guessed that it should be a Thousand Evil Demon Knife inside, he nodded to Song Shun and said hello before standing at the end of the line.

There are people who don't know each other all around, although Tang Yao is famous in the circle, but it hasn't reached the point where everyone knows him, so no one came forward to talk to him, and after waiting for a while, there began to be a staff member of the Illusion Academy to distribute the information, and every candidate queuing up at the initial assessment position will get exactly the same information, Tang Yao took it in his hand and opened it to see that it was actually a piece of information, and he began to read it carefully like everyone else. After spending more than half an hour reading carefully, Tang Yao finally understood what the topic of this preliminary assessment was, because this information was the topic of this preliminary assessment, and the examiner team seemed to take the opportunity of this question leak to bring a different test to all candidates.

Tang Yao's information is written in a story hundreds of years ago, hundreds of years ago, a family surnamed Zhou made a fortune by doing business, and after having money, they wanted to build a new mansion, and finally fell in love with a so-called feng shui treasure, but an accident occurred when the mansion was built halfway, and several laborers were nowhere to be seen, but the Zhou family did not take it seriously, and the whole family moved in after the mansion was completed, but after that, strange things continued, first the cats and dogs in the house always died violently, and then some children in the house always shouted in the middle of the night to see ghosts, But the Zhou family has begun to do business in this place and does not plan to change the residence, but did not expect that after living for a year, the house began to appear in the death of adults, the maid helper died many people in a row, the head of the Zhou family invited the mage to practice, the result was that on the day of the practice, the wind was raging, even the altar was overturned to the ground, the invited mage fled in a panic but was hit by a falling plaque at the moment of escaping from the gate of the Zhou family and died on the spot, the Zhou family at this time knew that the catastrophe was coming and immediately sold the family property and wanted to escape, but even if he escaped, he did not escape the fate of death, The people of the Zhou family died one by one, and only one person from the Zhou family is still alive today, and the topic of the assessment is to let the illusionist protect the only remaining descendant of the Zhou family.

Later, there were also a lot of information about the Zhou family at that time, which looked decent, and after Tang Yao read the information, he heard someone muttering around him: "Isn't this just a script killing?" ”

Tang Yao smiled because he also felt so, at this time, the mobile phone vibrate, he took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a message from Song Shun, which read: I feel that the exam questions this time are not simple, and this time the exam room has become such an open park, do you see the small houses in front, it seems that multiple exams can be conducted at the same time, and this time the exam question is to protect the descendants of the Zhou family, it is much more difficult to protect one person than to kill one.

Tang Yao replied: The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, let's take a step and see a step.

Tang Yao is still very confident in the preliminary exam, after all, some of the many masters he has fought and defeated now are even quasi-second stage or above.

At this time, the on-site examiner in front of him said: "This time the initial assessment is to adopt the system of multiple people taking the exam at the same time, from now on we will release signal interference, everyone's mobile phone will have no signal, this is to prevent the emergence of some cheating, please forgive me, there will be twenty people at the same time in an exam, and those who do not have their turn please wait patiently outside." ”

Tang Yao looked back and forth, although there was also a queue in the initial examination room, but the number of people in line was not particularly large, Tang Yao had already calculated that it was too late, so there were about sixty or seventy people in front of him, and there were more than a dozen people behind him, that is to say, Tang Yao would have to wait at least a few hours before it was his turn to enter the examination room, and there were other candidates behind him who kept coming to line up, and the queue would get longer and longer, at this time the interference signal began to play, and Tang Yao saw that his mobile phone soon became unserviced, The first batch of 20 people in front of them entered the examination room, and the preliminary examination officially began.

With the experience of the last time, Tang Yao was unhurried this time, first sat on the ground, and then began to quietly refine qi to adjust his state, about an hour later, there was a commotion in front of him, Tang Yao opened his eyes and looked, and saw that the medical rescue personnel arranged by the illusion were hurrying over, and lifted out a candidate who was covered in blood and was already in a coma from the initial examination room, this person should be in his thirties, indicating that he should have a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes. And which of the people who can come to participate in the preliminary assessment is not a well-prepared illusionist, but now he has been carried out with such a serious injury, which makes the other candidates who witnessed this scene stunned.

The chatter around them started again, and it seemed that they thought that this year's exam might be very difficult, and even experienced illusionists would be unable to cope with it.

At this moment, many candidates were sent out at once, and all of them were injured, the most serious one looked like he was about to die, and the least injured one looked like he had at least a few broken bones, and he was snorting in pain when he was lying on the stretcher.

But the exam will continue, a new batch of candidates began to walk into the examination room, and after more than half an hour, at this moment, the first batch of twenty candidates who entered the examination room have all come out, at this time an examiner took a loudspeaker and said: "So far, there is only one person who has passed the preliminary assessment in the first round of twenty people." ”

Only one of the twenty people passed the assessment and reached the initial stage, this probability made everyone gasp, Tang Yao was also slightly surprised, because he had done a survey The pass rate of the early stage of the exam in previous years was about thirty to forty percent, that is to say, at least three out of ten people were able to pass the assessment, and now only one out of twenty people passed, and this pass rate has created a new low in the past year.

"It's over, this year's exam questions must be very difficult, we're really unlucky." Tang Yao heard someone say in despair.
