Chapter 269: The Trials Begin

"Nervous, why be nervous, I'm so excited right now!" Chu Linfei exclaimed excitedly as he raised the pair of male and female axes in his hand.

This pair of male and female axes is a dual-attribute magic weapon, and it is also used by Li Zhenbang for him, this male and female double axe, as the name suggests, is a female and a male, and each one is a double-sided bladed axe.

The axe is a fire attribute, and each attack will not only make the opponent feel scorching, but also come with a burst attack with a fire attribute, and if it attacks a person, it will also have continuous burning damage, which makes people miserable.

The female axe is not a water type, but an ice type. Each attack is accompanied by a frost attack, which not only makes the opponent feel cold, but also affects the opponent's speed. If you attack the opponent's body, it will also freeze the area of the attack, affecting the efficiency of your actions.

This pair of male and female axes is much better than the wheel plate axes made of stainless steel before, Chu Linfei can't put down this pair of axes, and he never leaves his hand every day, even when he sleeps.

The others didn't feel nervous either, and everyone caressed their weapons with a look of eagerness. During this time, they not only trained each other's tacit understanding, but also trained their intimacy with weapons. A qualified warrior will also take special care of his weapon, which is comparable to his second life.

It has been a long time since anyone challenged the team, and the choice of Li Zhenbang and his party this time made them the focus of public opinion. Some students even made bets that they would hold out for a few rounds, a few minutes.

The odds of betting on them to win have reached 1:1000, but none of them have a choice. The odds of betting on them to enter the Royal Mercenary Group have also reached 1:100, and the odds of betting on them to lose have reached 1:0.01. Even so, many people still choose to gamble with only 0.01 profit, which shows that everyone is not optimistic about them.

Everyone knew a little about this gambling game, and even participated in the gambling game, but they all participated in it in masks, and did not reveal their identities, and the gambling was not big, they were all pressed to enter the royal mercenary group.

Zhang Dayou and Li Zhenbang discussed for a long time, and finally pressed a hundred gold coins on the bet of entering the mercenary group. In the past few days, Li Zhenbang went to the civilian committee, took out his salary, and left more than 200 gold coins, and the rest were given to Zhang Dayou.

Li Zhenbang used these two hundred gold coins to bet that his team would win, and two hundred gold coins were no different from two copper coins to him, even if he lost, it didn't matter. If he is lucky enough to win, it will be 200,000, and he is not short of these 200,000, but he can solve many urgent needs in a short time. And the words of 200,000 yuan to Zhang Dayou are easier for him to accept.

To everyone's surprise, this year's competition to join the Royal Mercenary Corps turned out to be presided over by Dean Jin Wannian himself, which shows the importance he attaches to this year's competition.

Dean Jin Wannian is obviously not a person who likes nonsense, the opening ceremony was very simple, he did not make any long speeches, but simply encouraged everyone, hoping that everyone would play well and achieve good results.

After Dean Jin Wannian finished speaking, a deputy head of the Royal Mercenary Regiment also made a speech, the main purpose of which was to hope that everyone would work hard to achieve good results, even if they did not succeed, they would not be discouraged, and there would be a chance next year.

After the two men finished speaking, the contestants began to draw lots for the competition. The draw is simple, people in the same grade are randomly divided into two groups, and each person draws a card from a transparent lottery box, and a number will be written on the card, and the two groups will be matched by the same number.

If there is a difference of one between the two sides, one person will have a lucky bye and go directly to the next game. After the opponent is determined, there will be a special person in charge to arrange for the players to enter a certain venue to compete. Regardless of profession, the competition is 1V1, with a total of ten venues, each of which is a 50*50 meter square area.

Under normal circumstances, summon beast mages do not take advantage of 1v1, so there are not many summon beast mages in the royal mercenary group. And most of the few summoned beast mages still entered through the back door.

Summoned beast mages are very excluded in the royal mercenary group, but summon beast mages are also aware of their strength, so they are also very low-key. Even if the summoned beast mage in the mercenary group who is already in the fifth grade, when he encounters a third-year warrior, he will be quiet. This is still the case in the academy, let alone the outside world!

The summoning beast mage has to keep his voice down even in the face of the magician apprentice, who knows if the other party will become a powerful magician! But the summoning beast mage will always be the summoning beast mage.

Li Zhenbang saw that some summoned beast mages who came to the stage to compete would bring contract beasts of no low level to the field. Those who choose to summon demonic beasts on the field are basically those civilian children, who don't have the strength and money to grab high-level demonic beasts as contract beasts, so they have to fight on the field.

The future of the summoned beast mage lies not in how powerful the summoned beast is, but in the strength of the contract beast, which has to be said to be the sadness of this profession.

Although Li Zhenbang also relied on contract beasts, after all, these contract beasts were summoned by him through other means, so he was still a little different from those summoned beast mages. However, from an outsider's point of view, he is also a summoning beast mage who uses contract beasts to improve himself.

The battle on the field went on very quickly, and during this time, several summoned beast mages were lucky enough to summon powerful magical beasts and lay the foundation for the victory of the game.

But there are always exceptions, and one of the third-year summoned beast mages actually summoned a Cerberus with a head. Even though it was just a Cerberus with a head, it was also a powerful seventh-order demonic beast.

But it's a pity that he didn't win, because the moment he summoned it, he fell into a coma because of the exhaustion of mental power, and the summoned beast had to regretfully disappear.

The competition in the third grade is relatively fierce, and some people deliberately do not advance to the fourth grade because the third grade is relatively lower and has a better chance of winning.

The number of participants in the 4th and 5th grades was much lower, so it was only half a day before the competition ended.

There is only one team in the team competition, Li Zhenbang, and it is also a team that everyone is looking forward to, but most people are looking forward to when Li Zhenbang will lose.

There are a total of seven teams on the opposite side, Li Zhenbang's two sisters' team has five people, their friend's team has six people in one team and four people in one team, their opponent's team and the soy sauce team are both five people, one team has only three people, and the last team is seven people.
