On 21 June, the Purple Cloud Hall, where the training ground was located, was occupied by all the new trainees, who were going to conduct the combat part of the half-year assessment here.

As a new student, it is basically a common practice for Ziyun Hall to be the assessment location, so the other students have no opinion, and they also came over like this back then.

I won't go into detail about the process of the battle assessment, in short, in the end, the top four students who were in the top ten at the time of the entrance examination occupied the top four, and there was no dark horse counterattack.

It is amazing, or surprising, that the ranking of these top four is the same as the original ranking of the entrance examination!

The reason why it is said to be magical and surprising is because in the hearts of the students who know the four of them, the real combat power should be Gu Qiyao first, not Wen Ming, but the final result is that Wen Ming won, which is really beyond the expectations of many students.

The last time Wen and Gu fought, Wen Ming lost, how could he win in just one month now?

There are several reasons for this:

First, because the strength of the kitten's soul has increased a lot, his physical and mental attributes have improved to a certain extent in this month.

Strength: 6. 6, Agility: 6. 6. Physique: 7. 1. Spirit: 13. 2

And after yesterday's trip to the Xuegong Tower, he deliberately went to the World Palace, and his attributes have been upgraded to:

Strength: 7. 3, Agility: 7. 3. Physique: 7. 5. Spirit: 14. 4

Spiritual power can be said to be the manifestation of the external strength of the soul, which is directly related to the strength of the soul, so the improvement is also the most direct and fast, and it has been fully improved1. 2! Of course, part of this is the effect of his own exercise, but the overall effect is still based on the improvement of soul strength.

And the improvement of the physique is the result of the dual effects of the soul strength improvement to feed the body and the cultivation of the elixir of the clear source land, and the two play almost half of the effect.

Then the improvement of strength and agility is first of all the enhancement of physical fitness, and secondly, the result of Wenming's hard work underwater, as long as he is willing to work hard. These two are not difficult to improve when they are lower than the physique.

A month's improvement is not small, but the improvement of the soul is almost the same, and the effect behind it is already very weak.

The importance of physical attributes does not need to be repeated, and the slight loss in physical attributes in the last battle between Wen Ming and Gu Qiyao was also one of the reasons for his defeat.

And now Wen Ming is a little higher than Gu Qiyao on the whole, although Gu Qiyao has also improved this month, it is impossible to improve as much as Wen Ming, so it is a little lower. Of course, a gap that is too small can hardly have any impact on the battle.

Second, Wen Ming's technique has also improved greatly in this month. Exercising underwater is really an excellent method, not only does the strength and agility improve very quickly, but also has a good effect on the practice of swordsmanship, sword moves, and even footwork.

In addition, in the trial battlefield, he also deliberately paid attention to the practice of the technique of attacking, and then fighting with people on the narrow hilltop platform of the Xuegong Tower also made the way of technique a lot better, in fact, the top platform was designed so narrow, part of the reason was that it forced the students to practice the way of skill attack.

Gu Qiyao's immersion in this path is also quite profound, but as a long weapon, the spear is originally good at charging into battle. It is slightly inferior to the long sword in terms of sophistication.

Third, Wen Ming suffered a loss that the power of battle qi was far inferior to Gu Qiyao's last time, so he was bent on improving the power of battle qi, but this was not something that could be improved if he wanted to. So in the end, the idea was hit on the Ziyun rookie sword.

The rune amplification level on his sword was originally equivalent to 3% of yellow, but in the past month, he has been ruthless, greatly reducing his sleep time, and has increased the rune amplification to 6% equivalent to green.

6% is naturally far inferior to the difference between the star battle qi and the sun battle qi by more than 30%. However, Wen Ming's battle qi quality was originally slightly higher than Gu Qiyao's, and then the meridian width was also a little wider than Gu Qiyao's because of time and battle qi quality. In this way, the superposition of several advantages has also narrowed the gap a lot.

Finally, when it comes to the most important combat skill, Wen Ming died last time from Gu Qiyao's [Light Flame Explosion], but if you are on guard, Gu Qiyao's move is actually the same as Wen Ming's [Falling Stars], and there are also a lot of restrictions on its current use, that is, the distance must be suitable.

If it is too far away or too close, the power of the [Light Flame Blast] will either be greatly reduced or it will not be able to be used.

Therefore, with more attention during the battle, the threat of Gu Qiyao's move can be reduced by half.

The advantages in several aspects narrowed the strength gap between the two little by little, and in the end, with a little luck, Wen Ming won by luck.

It's a pity that Dong Xuan's true pupil's temporal sense form has not been completely mastered after another month, otherwise if he can enter the temporal sense form at any time, then Wen Ming can win Gu Qiyao.

Then I have to mention the battle between the two and Ji Jingyun.

After Ji Jingyun replaced the exercises with "Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance Most Holy Return to Truth", the power displayed by the [streamer] of its cyan seeds was really a little terrifying.

When Wen Ming fought her, he was engrossed in observing the trajectory of her arrows with his subtle form of Dong Xuan True Pupil, and did his best not to let her shoot;

And Gu Qiyao also stared at the arrows with divine sense and naked eyes, desperately dodging.

Rao is like this, in the end, both of them paid the price of the disappearance of their left forearm and the scraping off of a large piece of flesh on their waist to take her down, and their mental state was not good after the war, and they barely recovered to a state that did not affect the battle for a long time.

As for Nanbei Wang, who did not have the "blessing of the sea charm" and had a relatively low grasp of divine consciousness, he was shot by Ji Jingyun within a few arrows of his sorrow.

It was like this when he was studying the palace tower, and it was also like this during the assessment, so that he didn't dare to look at Ji Jingyun very much, and he was shot out of the shadow.

In addition to the top four, there are many students in the back who have performed much better than the ranking of the college entrance examination, and this includes Peanut, Zhuo Maolin, and Shi Jun.

Wen Ming and his group are often together, urging each other, learning from each other, and comparing each other, everyone has a much more vigorous cultivation enthusiasm than before, and then borrowing the light of the kitten's promotion, everyone has gained a lot of benefits, and it is not surprising that they can perform very well.

After the battle assessment, the total assessment score was counted, and the final result was that Gu Qiyao pressed down the inscription and became the first place!

No one was surprised by this result, including Wen Ming himself, even if his combat assessment score and new effective credits in the cycle were higher than Gu Qiyao's, it would be useless, because he would have a little more than Gu Qiyao in these two scores, but the last part of the auxiliary professional ability score would be pulled down by Gu Qiyao.

He was a caster before he came to the Ziyun Academy, so Wen Ming was not surprised or dissatisfied with losing to him in the total score.

In addition to the symbolic 5,000 credits given to Gu Qiyao, the champion, in the semi-annual assessment, there are no prizes for others, and the main purpose and function is to readjust the residence.

Although Gu Qiyao was the champion, because he lived in the best double-storey loft like Wen Ming, he did not exchange residences with Wen Ming.

However, Shi Jun moved from side-by-side rooms to side-by-side suites, which was a big step forward.

Although Peanut and Zhuo Maolin have made great progress, they are not enough to rise one level in their residence.

After the assessment, the instructors let them rest for a few days, so that they could walk around, properly relax their tense minds for high-intensity study and cultivation, and start to learn advanced auxiliary vocational abilities in early July.

For students who do not want to learn auxiliary vocational abilities, they will be taken by Instructor Lin to take over the tasks of the office, and then go to the experience first. (To be continued.) )
