Volume I: Chapter 72: Field Testing
"Slanting Moon Slash!"
"Whew!"
In the courtyard, Lin Xiao slashed out, and the sharp war knife tore a cold light in the void, and at the same time, the yuan force in Lin Xiao's body also operated in an instant according to the first type of mental method, but before the yuan force in his body ran halfway, the knife style had already been used to the old, and the running yuan force also came to an abrupt end.
"Come ...... again"
Lin Xiao was not discouraged and made another move.
"Whew!" "Whew!" I saw Lin Xiao standing in the middle of the courtyard, but the war knife in his hand slashed out again and again.
At the beginning, Lin Xiao's face was quite relaxed, but gradually, his expression became solemn.
"It's so difficult, this slash against the wind seems simple, I didn't expect it to be so difficult to cultivate, no wonder I didn't see Wei Zuo of the Heavenly Hammer Team perform this trick at the beginning. Lin Xiao slashed hundreds of knives in a row, trying to combine Yuan Force and sword moves again and again, but he couldn't do it at all.
It's so hard!
You must know that the knife is fast, fast as lightning, fast to the extreme, and it will be over in the blink of an eye with a knife. But at this moment, the Yuan Force in the body ran through the meridians at the same time as the knife move was made, and it burst out at the critical time when the knife move fell, which was completely impossible.
"This slash against the wind is a human-level mid-level martial art, and there are only three moves, I can't be ambitious, practice diligently every day, and I will always succeed. Lin Xiao said secretly.
He is very confident in himself, now he is not familiar with the oblique moon slash, every time he takes out the knife, most of his attention has to hit the direction of the movement of the yuan force in his body, but with his continuous practice, practice makes perfect, sooner or later he will completely control this oblique moon slash.
Lin Xiao guarded against arrogance and rashness, calmed his mood, and practiced again with a knife in the courtyard.
......
Time passed, and for ten days in a row, Lin Xiao stayed at home and practiced sword techniques in the courtyard.
The continuous slashing, cultivation, and consumption of Yuan Force also caused Lin Xiao's physical strength to increase slowly, compared to the beginning, Lin Xiao's physical strength and speed have improved to a certain extent, but it is not obvious yet.
In the early morning, the bright and fiery sun dispels the fear of the night and brings light to the earth.
"Slanting Moon Slash!"
"Whew!"
In the courtyard, Lin Xiao shouted, the war knife in his hand slashed out of the sheath like lightning, tearing out a piece of refining in the void, the blade cut through the void, making a sharp whistling sound, and an invisible knife slashed on the stone bench in front of Lin Xiao.
Burst!
The stone chips flew everywhere, and a one-foot-long mark appeared on the surface of the stone bench, and then it snapped into two halves, the edges sharp as a knife, smooth as the surface of a mirror.
"I've finally practiced the first style of the 'Slash to the Wind' to score seven or eight points. Lin Xiao nodded secretly, after ten days of hard training, now he has been able to completely run the Yuan Force in the meridians at the same time as the knife, but the time point of the outbreak is still not able to be mastered, Rao is so, and he has also been able to exert a force equivalent to one and a half times his own, and the amount of force that burst in an instant exceeds 2,000 kilograms, and if he is lucky, the amplitude of the force can even reach about twice as much.
Pity the few stone benches in Lin Xiao's family yard, all of them are full of potholes these days, and none of them are complete under Lin Xiao's hard training.
In addition, the ten days of hard training also made Lin Xiao's body more flexible, and he was also a lot more refined in terms of strength control.
"Second brother, it's time for breakfast. ”
In the front yard, Lin Rou's crisp and bright urging voice sounded.
"Today is the day of your field testing, and if you don't set off, it will be too late. ”
"It's coming. ”
Lin Xiao put the war knife back into the room and shouted with a smile.
......
After breakfast, Lin Xiao came to the Warrior Alliance.
The twenty-seven would-be martial artists who passed the indoor assessment last time have arrived one after another.
After ten days of cultivation, everyone has cultivated enough spirits, and their eyes are bright, giving people a feeling of being full of energy. In addition, there were seventeen would-be martial artists who had not been seen in the previous indoor assessment gathered in the hall.
These seventeen people are all would-be martial artists who failed the second round of field tests last time and continue to participate in the assessment this month.
"Alright, let's go!"
The chief examiner of the field test assessment was still Zhu Shan, and under his leadership, ten deacons of the Martial Arts Alliance and forty-four would-be martial artists got into five carriages and galloped towards the south city gate.
The carriage was quite spacious, except for Zhu Shan and two other deacons of obviously higher status who rode in a small carriage, the remaining eight deacons and forty-four quasi-martial artists rode in the remaining four large carriages, and there were two deacons and eleven quasi-martial artists in one carriage.
Lin Xiao, Wu Yiwen, and Lu Xue rode in the same carriage, in addition to the four would-be martial artists who had participated in the indoor assessment together before and the four would-be martial artists who had participated in a round of field tests.
Except for the four would-be martial artists who had experience, there was a trace of excitement hidden in the eyes of the rest of the people, after all, it was the first time for everyone to go out of the city and enter the wilderness when they were so big, and they were curious and afraid of the world of demon beasts.
Halfway through the carriage, one of the two deacons slowly stood up.
"Fellow martial artists, everyone must be very unfamiliar with the content of the field assessment, so let me explain it here. The middle-aged deacon's gaze swept over everyone, "The assessment of the field test is very simple, the location of the test is in a mountain forest outside the south of the new acropolis, there are a large number of different types of one-star demon beasts, your assessment task is to enter it, as long as you can kill a one-star demon beast within one day, and cut off its nose and bring it back, even if you pass the assessment, the results of the assessment are based on the nose of the demon beast brought back, there are no other rules, if you do not kill any one-star demon beast within the specified time, then the assessment fails." ”
"Kill a one-star demon beast and bring back its nose to pass the assessment?" Everyone had already prepared for the field test in their hearts, although they were nervous, but they were more excited.
"Although the one-star demon beast is terrifying, there is no rule that we can't join forces, with our strength, it may be a little difficult to kill a one-star demon beast alone, but it is absolutely no problem for two people to join forces. ”
"yes, it doesn't seem that this field test is difficult. ”
Several young would-be martial artists whispered, looking delighted.
"Hmph!" The four would-be martial artists who had participated in the field assessment suddenly smiled coldly at this time, and couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao and the others in the carriage, with a hint of banter in their eyes.
Lin Xiao was keenly aware of a loophole in the middle-aged deacon's words.
"Lord Examiner, the assessment results are based on the monster nose brought back, so doesn't that mean that if I rob someone else's loot and bring it back, it can also be counted in the score?"
A teenager suddenly wondered, apparently aware of the problem as well.
The middle-aged deacon said flatly: "Yes, as long as you can snatch other people's spoils back, it will naturally be counted as your results, but there are clear regulations in the assessment process, there shall be no life-and-death fights between quasi-martial artists, and others shall not be injured. Of course, as long as you don't maim or kill people, the rest of you can act boldly without any responsibility. ”
"Wow!"
The middle-aged deacon's words fell, and several people present looked at each other in an uproar.
Everyone's attention was focused on the last sentence of the middle-aged deacon, which was obviously encouraging the would-be warriors to compete with each other.
Feeling the surprise of the young men, the two deacons glanced at each other with a smile in their hearts.
The reason why the Martial Arts Alliance will divide it into two rounds is to let the quasi-martial artists get in touch with the monsters and the wild, and understand the danger and cruelty of the wild.
This is crucial for all would-be martial artists.
The carriage soon came to the south city gate, and after a brief negotiation, a team of heavily armed elite soldiers went out of the city gate with the carriage, and the young quasi-warriors on the carriage all looked curiously at the lush mountains and forests outside, as well as the faint roar of demon beasts in the distance.
The carriage continued on for about half an hour before coming to a halt at the foot of a hill.
What caught everyone's eye was a huge camp, in the camp, a team of soldiers on duty patrolled back and forth, they all had bright eyes, wearing standard armor, holding a bright steel knife in their hands, walking neatly, full of momentum, it was the emperor ** team guarding the new acropolis.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the military camp in the south of the New Acropolis, and it is also the first line of defense in the south of our New Acropolis against the demon beasts, after this military camp, it is the dangerous demon beast tribe, if you become a warrior in the future, you can enter the military camp to rest before entering the demon beast area. Zhu Shan led the teenagers into the barracks and introduced loudly at the same time.
"This is the emperor ** team of the new Acropolis, it's really magnificent. ”
"Look at this patrol team, the armor on the body is a special alloy, which can withstand the impact of more than 2,000 kilograms without deformation, and it is said that a set of such armor including helmets, standard combat knives and combat boots is worth at least 1,000 taels. ”
"When the time comes, as soon as we are promoted to the True Martial Artist, we can join the Emperor ** team, it is said that every soldier who joins the army will be assigned a set of such armor, and the army is also the safest. ”
"Security is security, but the army is also the strictest, and it is impossible to enter the wilderness area at will to hunt monsters like a free warrior. ”
All the teenagers were excited, talking and talking.
"Look!" suddenly someone shouted, pointing to the outside of the barracks.
On the originally empty plain, a huge demon beast three or four meters tall and covered with swarthy armor came out of nowhere, running and roaring at the military camp.
"It's an iron-armored hookback beast, a two-star demon beast!"
The would-be warrior who knew him shouted.
"Drink!" The two squads patrolling outside the barracks saw this scene, and surrounded them like lightning, and nearly twenty soldiers of the True Martial Artist turned around under the leadership of the two True Martial Artists Second Rotation Team Zheng surrounded this iron-armored hook-backed beast, and more than twenty soldiers slashed out at the same time in an instant, bursting out with an unparalleled terrifying force, and in the blink of an eye, the two-star demon beast that rushed into the forbidden area was killed on the spot.
"Whew!"
The teenagers were dumbfounded, their blood boiling, and they couldn't wait to fight in person.
"Alright, our destination has arrived. At this time, Chief Examiner Zhu Shan's indifferent voice rang out.
