Chapter 3: Entrance Examination

"It's almost time. We're ready, and when the next batch comes back, you'll go." One of the staff members estimated the time and said to his companion.

After saying that, he turned around and said loudly, "You all heard clearly. The entrance examination fee is a gold coin, and no matter whether you pass the assessment or not, a gold coin is non-refundable. Although there is no mandatory requirement for the strength of our students in the Deep Blue Academy, it is almost impossible for those whose strength is below the second order to pass the entrance exam. Therefore, for those who can't reach the second order high level, it's better not to waste money. If you think about it, go to the table and give the money to the staff. ”

As soon as this statement came out, many people in the team began to hesitate. The second upper stage is not an easy thing for most people in this age group to do. If it weren't for a breakthrough in the selection competition, Han Feng himself would be at this level.

There are hesitant people, and naturally there will be decisive people, who are not moved at all. Han Feng was also one of these people, he took out a gold coin from his arms and gently placed it on the table: "Han Feng." ”

The staff raised their heads, glanced at Han Feng meaningfully, and stretched out his hand to point at another staff member: "Wait a minute, you just follow him." ”

"Thank you. Han Feng nodded slightly, then walked around the table and walked to the staff member. Originally, he was going to say hello, but seeing the staff member's cold face, he dispelled this idea.

Although Han Feng was full of confidence in himself, he would inevitably feel nervous when it came to the end. He played with his fingers to ease his tension.

"Alright, let's go. Suddenly, the staff said. Only then did Han Feng notice that the last batch of students who participated in the assessment had returned, and they were happily registering their personal information at the desk. However, there were hundreds of people when they went, but only a dozen people came back, which shows the difficulty of the entrance assessment.

Taking a deep breath, Han Feng moved to keep up with the staff who had already taken the first step. The staff walked very fast, and some of the girls had to trot a few steps from time to time to keep up. The staff led the 100 or so people around the campus to turn left and right, and finally came to a huge and strange building.

Entering this strange building, the staff divided the hundred or so people into seven groups according to their attributes and handed them over to seven people. The staff member in charge of the entrance examination of the ice department was a middle-aged magician in his forties, and he led Han Feng and the others to a heavy bronze door. On the bronze door, dragons and phoenixes are carved, and reliefs of different forms but equally exquisite are carved. These reliefs are mainly dominated by demonic beasts, with a variety of different forms.

The staff reached out and tinkered with the door a few times, and the thick copper door retracted upwards in a "boom" sound, revealing the inside. On the floor of the room, there are several strangely shaped humanoid puppets. The three-meter-tall puppets looked like a human being, but without legs and were fixed to a platform. The puppet was supposed to be in the position of both hands, without the presence of arms, and instead had several thick cannon barrels, which were supposed to be used to fire magic.

Next to each puppet, there is also a puppeteer who is in charge of controlling the puppet, who is constantly busy on the puppet. Unlike puppets, puppets act according to a set pattern, but puppets are not the same, puppets cannot act autonomously and can only be manipulated artificially. These puppets are all fixed to the ground, forming a small encirclement. Everyone is speculating whether these puppets are the content of the entrance examination. At the very least, these puppets must have a very close relationship with the entrance examination.

"You've all listened to me. The magician in charge of admissions from the Deep Blue Academy looked around at everyone, and waited until everyone focused on themselves before continuing: "I am the chief examiner of this entrance examination-Liao Huajie, you can call me Teacher Liao." The assessment of our academy is your actual combat ability, as long as you can hold on to the siege of these six puppets for ten minutes, even if you pass, you can get the admission qualification. Of course, if you are able to fight back under the siege of the puppets, as long as you can hit the puppets, you can enter the best class in the Deep Blue Academy. As for the final outcome, it's up to you to decide. ”

"How are the puppets, are they all ready?" Liao Huajie confirmed to the staff who checked the puppets.

The leading puppeteer carefully examined the puppets one by one before replying, "The puppets have all been checked, and the assessment can start at any time." ”

"Good. Liao Huajie waved his hand and asked all the puppeteers to return to their respective posts. Then, he took out an engram from his bosom and pointed it at the encirclement formed by the puppets: "Now, you go into the puppets one by one. Of course, if you really don't have confidence in yourself, you can also choose to abstain. ”

Speaking of this, Liao Huajie paused for a moment and said with a sneer: "I have to warn you first, the strength of each of these puppets is not weaker than that of a third-order magic apprentice, and the power of each attack is not inferior to that of third-order magic. Even if these puppets are controlled by a puppeteer, accidents will inevitably occur. Although it is not life-threatening, injuries are inevitable. If you don't want to get hurt, abstaining is the best option. ”

Liao Huajie's appearance is more feminine, and his smile is a little scary. was threatened by Liao Huajie's intimidation and coaxing, and many candidates suddenly became hesitant. In the final analysis, they are just students who have never seen the world; in the face of such a situation, it is good that they are full of confidence in themselves, at most they are apprehensive in their hearts, and they will not retreat from the battle; however, those candidates who just want to give it a try with a fluke heart become hesitant.

If there is no loss in failing the assessment, then many people are still willing to fight and try their luck. But if they want to risk injury just for the faint hope of hope, then they really have to think about it. After all, the main thing to be examined in this entrance assessment is the candidate's personal strength. If the strength is not good, not to mention whether it can pass or not, injury is almost a certainty.

Seeing that someone was shaken, Liao Huajie's tone changed: "As the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie." Candidates who choose to abstain can come to me to register, and then they can go to the place where they just registered and get their registration fee back. Not this year, you can try again next year, there is no need to risk your own safety. ”

Seeing that Liao Huajie's words were completely "I am thinking about you", Han Feng couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart: This Liao Huajie said it so obviously, I'm afraid that only those who are not strong-willed will will be led by him. Quietly glancing at the other candidates, I saw that many people were also thoughtful, and my heart suddenly became clear. However, no one pointed out, but chose to remain silent. Han Feng guessed that this was most likely also one of the assessments of the Deep Blue Academy, a vague assessment. Otherwise, Liao Huajie, as the chief examiner of Deep Blue Academy, would not have been able to say such things for no reason.

I have to say that Liao Huajie's hand played very well. First the first, then the second, and the third, one after another, there were many candidates who were not strong or had little confidence in themselves one after another came out of the crowd and chose to abstain. In the end, only seven of the more than a dozen ice candidates chose to participate in the assessment.

After a few minutes, Liao Huajie saw that no more candidates chose to abstain, and smiled at the magician standing beside him. Then, the middle-aged magician nodded at Liao Huajie and left with the abstaining candidate.

After seeing a few people leave, Liao Huajie arranged the assessment of the remaining candidates. Han Feng was arranged to participate in the assessment in the third, which is a relatively lucky number. With the experience of the previous two people, you will not be ignorant of the specific situation of the assessment, and it will not be at the end, so there will not be too much psychological pressure.

"The first, Li Tiannan. Go to the little circle in the puppet center and wait. Liao Huajie looked at the record in his hand and said loudly. At this time, Han Feng noticed that on the ground of the encirclement formed by the six magic puppets, there was actually a small circle divided by floor tiles of different colors with a diameter of less than one meter.

A handsome-looking teenager took a deep breath and slowly walked to the center of the circle. He was Li Tiannan, a third-order ice magic apprentice. At his age, being able to reach the third order can be regarded as a genius. But at this time, his face was full of nervousness and uneasiness, and even when he walked, his movements were quite stiff.

With Liao Huajie's "start", several puppeteers began to operate skillfully. The long-term operation makes each of their movements seem so natural and free, which makes people can't help but shine. In contrast, Li Tiannan is much inferior. Under the pressure of the six puppets step by step, Li Tiannan's situation became precarious.

These six puppeteers cooperate with each other very tacitly, one advances and one retreats, and one attack and one defense are very orderly. Ice bullets, ice spikes, and even ice spears continued to shoot towards Li Tiannan in the field, forcing this poor guy to jump up and down, left and right. And Li Tiannan's attack that he finally sent out in a hurry was either not accurate, or it was easily resisted by the puppet, and it didn't have the desired effect at all.

Six minutes! Li Tiannan was only under the siege of the puppet, but he only lasted for a short six minutes! You must know that the attack of this puppet became more and more powerful the further it went. With the strength of Li Tiannan's third-order magic apprentices, they could only support them for just six minutes under their attacks.

Han Feng's face was solemn, he was also confident that he would defeat Li Tiannan, but it was impossible to be so easy. It seems that these puppets, which seem to have been around for quite a few years, are not so easy to solve. This entrance assessment is really not so good.

With the experience of the first person, the second candidate took a very different approach. He did not take the initiative to attack, but chose to hold on. He first put himself in the ice armor, and then desperately used the ice shield to protect himself.

However, even so, it was only one minute more than Li Tiannan. In just eight minutes, these seemingly indestructible defensive magic were shattered by the six puppets, and he was forced to stop there.
