"Di!" Chai Ding grabbed the whistle hanging on his chest and blew hard. Eight more instructors lined up from the rear school building and stood in front of the four-way column. In this way, there were four instructors in front of each column.

"Ahem," Hou Renze cleared his throat, "Two days ago, Director Chai should have already told you about the rules of the battle assessment. Here, I would like to emphasize just three more points. ”

"First, this kind of confrontational assessment is ubiquitous in your future lives. The purpose is to let you feel the atmosphere of war in advance. Although the confrontation between classmates is far from being compared to a real war, it is undoubtedly the best introductory course for you who have just stepped into the real martial arts world. ”

"Second, you don't need to worry about anything in the battle, just let go and use all your abilities. With instructors on hand to protect you, none of you will be really harmed. Each group has an instructor who is by his side to protect and also act as a referee. Each round is limited to 30 minutes. If time runs out and the two sides have not yet decided the winner, the instructor has the right to decide the winner according to the physical condition of both parties or the degree of performance. The instructor also has the right to terminate the match if one of the players suffers significant damage. ”

"The third and most important point is that no one can kill anyone, and they can't hurt each other maliciously. After all, it's just a simulated battle. As for whether it constitutes malicious injury, it is also up to the instructors present to decide. If a student is found to have maliciously harmed the other party, the student will be sentenced to bear and handed over to Director Chai for additional punishment. Did you hear me clearly?"

"I heard you clearly!" the four columns responded in unison.

Ye Hengyuan tilted his head to the right and saw Xue Mengyi in the middle of the rightmost column. Xue Mengyi also saw him, stuck out her tongue, and smiled.

Ye Hengyuan didn't smile, but looked up at the sky. It's as if they're looking for something.

"All in place!" Chai Ding waved his hand, "Instructors from various regions, lead the students to their respective areas to assemble!

Sixteen instructors led four teams of students to their respective areas and stood in line. Underneath the signage in each area, there is a half-human-high iron box with a large circular hole in it.

"The rules of the draw are like this," Chai Ding opened his loud voice, "In each iron box, there are eight balls of the same size, each marked with the eight numbers 1 to 8. All students draw lots under the command of their respective instructors. The first round of matchups is 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, 3 vs. 6, and 4 vs. 5 in each group. Each subsequent round is ranked according to the winner-to-winner, loser-loser-loser. Got it?"

"Understood!" This time not only the students, but also the instructors responded. You must know that the strength of most ordinary instructors is only between the first level of the fourth order and the sixth level of the fourth order. Most of them were also afraid of the fierce Director Chai Ding.

The draw ended quickly. Instructors from the four regions wrote down the results on wooden boards. Ye Hengyuan lowered his head, looked at the No. 5 ball in his hand, and patted the shoulder of the yellow-haired student in front of him.

"Hey, big brother, what does it mean to have a winner against a winner, and a loser against a loser?"

"It's roulette," Yellow Hair didn't look back, "Every round, you can basically guarantee to meet an opponent with a similar record as yourself." In this way, no one can guarantee that they will always win. ”

"The first group," the instructor who presided over the draw read aloud, "Lin Quan to Zhou Zhen, Wang He to Yang Linhan, Ye Hengyuan to Huang Cheng, Wu Qinghan to Zhang Lun. ”

As soon as the instructor's words fell, the yellow-haired student suddenly turned his head and faced Ye Hengyuan with a surprised expression.

"Won't you...... How could it be so coincidental......"

"Huh?" Ye Hengyuan subconsciously shouted, "Do you know me?"

"It's not," Huang Cheng shook his head dejectedly, "I heard Xue Mengyi talk about you." Looks like I'm going to lose the first game. Your talent is so much stronger than mine. The dragon pattern Fang Tian Halberd is too strong for me. ”

"That's not necessarily, Brother Huang," Ye Hengyuan said, "Whoever wins or loses is possible." ”

"I hope that's the case," Huang Cheng reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "Brother Ye, will you be merciful to your subordinates later?"

Sixteen instructors stood on either side of the sixteen rings and blew their whistles at the same time. Thirty-two trainees were seated.

Ye Hengyuan and Huang Cheng stood on both sides of the No. 3 ring of a group and stood facing each other. Huang Cheng's figure is about the same as Ye Hengyuan, only a few centimeters shorter and slightly thinner. His yellow hair was combed into a small back and draped at the back of his head. On his chest, there was a golden yellow mark embroidered exactly like Xue Mengyi.

The two looked at each other face to face. Ye Hengyuan's eyes were full of expectation, mixed with a hint of nervousness. And Huang Cheng was expressionless. Before going on stage just now, he took several deep breaths before putting away his listless face.

"Please listen to the detailed rules of the battle," the referees spoke, "first, if you fall off the stage, you will lose, second, if you surrender voluntarily, you will lose, and third, if you fall to the ground for more than 30 seconds and can't get up, you will lose." Got it?"

"Understood!" all the students replied at the same time.

"Both sides prepare!" the referee in the audience raised his right hand, "Release the martial spirit and the spirit circle!"

Almost all of the students were stunned for at least a second. The "fierce god" didn't tell them about this. But they didn't hesitate at all, and instantly released the spirit circle in their bodies along with the martial spirit.

Thirty-two beams of different colors rose at the same time. In the middle of each beam is interspersed with two deep or shallow apertures. The ring area instantly became like a bright starry sky.

Ye Hengyuan slowly released his spiritual power, feeling the flow of spiritual power. After a month of studying and exercising, he felt the changes taking place in his body. Not only is the body stronger, but even the spiritual power in the body is much more condensed than before.

Huang Cheng on the other side gritted his teeth. From Ye Hengyuan's second spirit circle, he saw three points of light. One more than him. The momentum on his body involuntarily weakened a little.

Two crescent machetes appeared in his hands. The handle is orange-yellow, the blade is silvery-white, and the blade is flashing with a white light. But this white light was not half a star compared to the moonlight emitted by Fang Tianhalberd in Ye Hengyuan's hand.

On the high platform, Hou Renze and Chai Ding set their eyes on Ye Hengyuan at the same time. Although he tried his best to control his momentum, he was discovered by the two masters on the stage.

"Director Chai, what is your impression of him?" Hou Renze pretended not to know anything.

"He?" Chai Ding pointed in the direction of Ye Hengyuan, "He's fine." I usually take my classes seriously. The morning exercise is also very hard. Never late, let alone bitter. Several faculty members praised him to me. ”

"Oh?" Hou Renze stroked his beard, "never complaining?

"It should be," Chai Ding's expression became much softer, "I never saw him complain. In this group of freshmen, he can be regarded as the most diligent and persevering. That's what several faculty members say. ”

"Let's go!" all the instructors raised their right arms at the same time, waved down again, and shouted the command.

Huang Cheng gritted his teeth hard, shook his hands, and hit the ground with his right foot, swinging his double knives, and quickly rushed towards Ye Hengyuan. The moment his feet lifted off the ground, the blades of both scimitars shone with a yellowish glow.

Ye Hengyuan didn't move, just bent down, bent his left leg forward, held the halberd with both hands, and stared at Huang Cheng's movements with both eyes.

In just a few steps, Huang Cheng rushed in front of Ye Hengyuan. He tapped the ground with his right foot again, and the whole person jumped high, the scimitar in his right hand was protected in front of him, his left arm was raised high, and a semicircle was drawn in the air, and the scimitar was picked up and slashed towards Ye Hengyuan's left shoulder.

Ye Hengyuan exerted force with both hands, and two cyan spiritual power fluctuations merged into the halberd shaft along his hands, covering the tip of the halberd and the blades on both sides with a layer of cyan protective film. Fang Tianhalberd directly raised upwards, blocking the scimitar in Huang Cheng's hand. Then, with both arms, he threw it hard to the left. A strong pull pulled Huang Cheng to the right rear.

Huang Cheng almost lost his center of gravity, his body leaned back, his right arm waved, and the scimitar in his right hand came out of his hand and flew towards Ye Hengyuan's neck. "Bang!" Ye Hengyuan waved his arms vigorously, and Fang Tianji once again crossed the path of the other scimitar, and pulled the scimitar back. Huang Cheng hurriedly took a step back and took back the scimitar with his right hand.

In the next second, Ye Hengyuan's two spirit circles suddenly flickered. Four light green balls of light, slightly larger than fists, appeared on the left and right sides of his body, flying towards Huang Cheng's limbs respectively.

"Hmmmm......" Huang Cheng was taken aback, hurriedly stepped back, and swung two scimitars in front of him at the same time, ready to resist the blow. He naturally knew that it was a condensation bomb, but he failed to react correctly.

Ye Hengyuan also moved, kicked his legs hard, leaned forward, accelerated and rushed forward, and the Fang Tian halberd in his hand was lifted up, stabbing straight into Huang Cheng's chest. A cyan spiritual power fluctuation flew out from the tip of the halberd, turning into a small halberd head, and flew towards Huang Cheng's chest.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Four fierce collisions rang out at the same time. Huang Cheng forcibly took the attack of the four condensing bullets, but he himself was shocked and took more than a dozen steps back, his brain began to dizzy, and his hands were numb and painful. At the same time, the spiritual power wave that had turned into Fang Tian's halberd had also arrived in front of him. He didn't have time to react anymore, so he instinctively lifted the scimitar to protect his face and chest.

"Boom!"

Huang Cheng's body flew in response, fell into the ring, and fell to the ground. With the martial spirit in front of him, he naturally didn't suffer any damage, but the impact was just enough to knock him out of the ring.

Ye Hengyuan put away the martial spirit and spirit circle, slowly walked to the edge of the ring, and arched his hand to Huang Cheng.

"Concession. ”

The referee instructor on the side was dumbfounded. Only a little over two minutes had passed
