Chapter 48: Mutation
After midnight, Sea Devil Island was silent, and only the energy beasts that were active in the middle of the night roared.
Although the number of energy beasts that are active at night is smaller, the danger level is not reduced, but rather higher.
Because at midnight, Sea Devil Island fell into darkness and visibility was very low, and in the face of the sudden attack of the energy beast, many students did not have time to react.
The students of the martial arts realm are okay, they can resist one or two, and when they are in danger, they can summon defensive armor in time.
However, there were quite a few ninth-order martial arts students who had managed to persist until now, but they were attacked and killed by energy beasts, and the number of deaths assessed had reached more than one hundred and fifty people.
It is conceivable that the end of this elite assessment will cause an uproar in the Curtain Star.
At this time, there are only a little more than 200 students on the island, and those who can persist until now will not be too bad, and they can be called elites.
At this time, there were still five hours before the end of the assessment, and a more dangerous situation appeared, because the wind was blowing, and the wind and rain were very strong, which made many sleeping energy beasts wake up.
The energy beasts were roaring uneasily and scurrying wildly, increasing the danger of the students.
"Dai Wei, do you want to end the assessment early?"
On the mooring platform, Anakin from the Magnolia Martial Arts Academy looked worriedly at the sea in the distance, a black and oppressive dark cloud was coming, with a violent storm, about to envelop the Sea Demon Island.
Not only Anakin, but also representatives of powerful people from all sides are also seeking the opinion of the examiner Dai Wei, who is also the invigilator of this assessment.
Dai Wei is thinking that ending the assessment early is unfair to the students who have persevered until now.
But when the storm hits, it will definitely make the environment of Sea Demon Island more dangerous, because the energy beast will be restless, and the mortality rate will increase.
"What the end! Martial artists are already facing all kinds of accidents and dangers, and when they step into the path of martial artists in the future, they may face even more dangerous situations than this, so it is better to let them experience it now! Kao spoke.
He is nicknamed the Devil, and he speaks fiercely, and he is never afraid of hardships and obstacles.
"I agree!" Uho from the Cold Snow Warrior Academy nodded.
Dai Wei smiled: "Let's continue the assessment." ”
Everyone did not object, and the invigilators, who represented the elite class, had no other opinions, and no matter whether they ended or continued, it would not affect them.
All the consequences and effects will be borne by the four great martial arts academies.
The biggest concern is the leaders of the various schools, whose students are experiencing more dangerous conditions on the island.
However, they also know that the elite assessment selects the elite, and they have to face all kinds of dangers.
If you retreat now, will you be able to retreat again when you embark on the path of a martial artist in the future and encounter more dangerous situations?
In the huge light and shadow, there were only more than two hundred students left fighting, and from the light and shadow, it could be clearly seen that the density of energy beasts around these students was increasing.
The wind suddenly rose with torrential rain, completely enveloping Sea Demon Island, and many towering trees were blown into the foliage, and some small trees were directly broken.
The rain poured down, and soon the ground was bubbling into a bubbling stream.
The storm was big.
Boom! Lightning and thunder appeared on the surface of the sea in the distance, lighting up a sky in the middle of the night.
The spaceship docking platform has special protection, and lightning cannot hit it, but in this special case, the huge light image is a bubble phantom, which can monitor the real-time footage of the students, disappears, and the signal is cut off by bad weather.
The people on the platform are no longer able to monitor the situation of students through light and shadow.
Dai Wei frowned, the situation changed again, but the decision had been made, he would not change it again, and the assessment would continue.
……
To the south of Sea Devil Island is an ancient castle built on a hill that was the residence of pioneers thousands of years ago, but now it is dilapidated.
A student with the strength of a ninth-order martial artist was hiding in the ancient castle, and before the storm came, he predicted that the danger would increase.
He was armed with a short blade, dressed in black, with blood stains on his body, starting from the assessment and persevering until now.
"My current points are only one hundred and one ten, and if I continue like this, I will definitely not be able to enter the top 100, and now the storm is struck, and the invigilators' vision is blocked, maybe they can't monitor me, and the opportunity has come!" He was pondering.
Then he gritted his teeth and slashed his calf with a short blade, taking out a light red potion from it.
This is a banned drug, called 3R-A medicine, which can greatly improve physical fitness and thus increase strength in a short period of time.
The reason why it is listed as a forbidden drug is because this medicine has great side effects on the human body, and after many martial artists use it, their strength can be enhanced in a short time, but for a long time after that, their strength will stagnate, and a lot of time will be wasted.
However, even so, the temptation of a huge increase in strength in a short period of time still makes many people rush to it.
Therefore, 3R-A drugs were banned from circulation 50 years ago.
"If you want to become the strongest among the martial artists, you can only pass the elite assessment, enter the four major martial arts academies, and obtain key training! As for the side effects of the drug, let's wait until you pass the assessment! He looked at him firmly and drank the 3R-A potion.
Soon, his eyes turned red, the muscles on his body bulged, his muscles bulged visibly, and a force far beyond himself surged from all over his body.
"This is the power of a warrior!" He clenched his fists tightly, excited.
At this time, outside the castle, it was dark, and the heavy rain was like a curtain of water, pouring down.
In the bright light of lightning and thunder, there were energy beasts approaching, and a total of eight cyan giant wolves loomed, with a ghostly light in their eyes and grinning teeth.
One of them has a tuft of white hair on its forehead, it is a wolf, the strongest, with the strength of a martial artist close to the Force level 1.
They have very sharp noses, and although the smell of the students hiding in the castle is muffled by the pouring rain, the wolves still smell the smell of prey, and they roar and quickly rush into the castle.
"Huh? There are energy beasts! Haha, just let me kill hard! The student wielded his short blade, whirring in the air.
But the next moment, he was stunned, a total of eight drooling cyan giant wolves surrounded him, especially the giant wolf with a pinch of white hair on his forehead, and the aura emanating from his body made him feel dangerous.
"Give me death!" He yelled to break out of the encirclement, and his instinct told him that if he couldn't get out, he would die.
He now had the strength of a martial artist, and the short blade in his hand swung wildly, kicking away the two giant wolves that pounced on him, and then the short blade stabbed into the body of the other giant wolf.
But it could only be like this, he was thrown to the ground by four giant wolves, and the strongest white-haired giant wolf didn't move.
"No, my chance has just come! I can't die! He shouted unwillingly, the defensive armor in the badge had been summoned by him, enveloping his body.
The armor's defense is very strong, if it is a giant wolf energy beast, the armor can last until the arrival of the martial artist teacher in charge of the rescue, but this time it is eight, and the strength of one of them is close to that of a martial artist.
The giant wolves frantically continued to bite with their teeth and claws, and in less than a minute, the defense that originally required a full-strength blow from a Force level 5 warrior to break through was broken by the giant wolves.
"Nope! I'm not reconciled! The student screamed, his body was torn apart, and he was quickly eaten by the giant wolf.
There was only a lot of meat on one person, and the eight giant wolves ate the student in just a few bites, and there were not even bones left, leaving only a short blade and torn clothes.
Soon, the mutation protruded, and the eight giant wolves suddenly raised their heads to the sky and howled, and they seemed to be in pain.
Immediately afterward, visible to the naked eye, the bodies of the giant wolves changed, a lot of old hair fell out, new hair grew quickly, and the cyan fur was very smooth.
They are taller and stronger, and an aura that is completely different from the martial apprentice stage emanates, it is the breath of a martial artist, and they have been promoted from the ninth order martial apprentice to the martial artist level.
In particular, their eyes, like those of the students just now, are very red, which is a sign of excitement.
On Sea Demon Island, these giant wolves were originally the strongest group of ninth-order martial artists, and now they ate the students who had just used the 3R-A potion, and the potions entered their bodies and took effect.
They evolve.
There is no doubt that the physique of energy beasts is naturally stronger than that of humans.
Now these eight giant wolves, in terms of strength, have surpassed all the Force Level 1 martial arts students on the island, second only to those five Force Level 2 students.
The giant wolf with white hair on his head is even close to a Force Level 2 martial artist in strength.
Then the wolves made eye contact, sprang out of the castle, scattered, and leapt into the jungle from multiple directions.
Now the environment is just right, and the dark night under the storm is just right for them to hunt these uninvited guests.
After about ten minutes, the martial artist teacher in charge of the rescue arrived at the ancient castle, he smelled blood and frowned slightly.
"Another one died!"
The elite assessment has been carried out so far, and he has seen this situation more than a hundred times, so he didn't care about it this time, he was going to collect the items of the dead student.
When he saw the silver armor fragments and the bottle of the 3R-A potion, his face changed.
"This student cheated! It turned out to be this elixir, he was now eaten by the energy beast, there must have been an energy beast in the martial arts realm born, otherwise the armor would not have been torn apart so quickly! ”
The martial arts teacher took out his light brain and prepared to send a message to Dai Wei, the chief examiner on the mooring platform, but he found that the storm blocked the signal and his message could not be transmitted.
"Hurry up and find the energy beast of the martial arts realm, otherwise there will be heavy casualties!"
