Chapter 011: Breaking through the first-level activity wooden formation
"Active Wooden Formation. Qi Lan muttered to himself and stepped forward.
"Does anyone want to try the next one?" someone asked.
"Me. Qi Lan said.
The manager looked at him and said, "Freshman?"
Qi Lan took out his Grandlife Token and asked him to record his name, and then said that he was ready.
The manager asked curiously, "What kind of spell did you learn?" There was no record on the token, so there was a question.
Qi Lan couldn't answer suddenly, he was really not sure which kind he belonged to, so he prevaricated with his new enrollment and had time to divide classes in the future.
"It seems that I have to ask Li Jun later, which class I am in, otherwise I don't know, and others will be embarrassed when they ask. β
He stood calmly in front of the Wooden Formation, taking a closer look at the challenge he faced, which was said to be only rudimentary, and he didn't know how powerful it was. Looking at the wooden figures with rigid expressions and hands outstretched, could their movements depend on internal mechanisms? What kind of place is this? It is one of the best existences in Huzhou, it is a paradise for learning magic, and it still needs to rely on machinery to make a small wooden human array? Obviously, it is not needed.
Many thoughts instantly turned through his mind, and Qi Lan once again eliminated distracting thoughts and concentrated on dealing with these seemingly rigid wooden people. These wooden figures are in a fixed posture and do not rotate quickly, but as they walk through them, they will face attacks from all directions at the same time, and if they are not careful, they will have a chain reaction when they are hit, and they know to knock the trespasser to the ground. Qi Lan had already looked carefully when he was outside, there was a way to pass through the wooden people, otherwise it would not be called a test, it would purely become a test of the ability to resist attacks. Finding a feasible passage among the wooden figures depends on improvisable judgment, and more important than judgment is the body's ability to react, that is, alertness, otherwise even if it sees the gap, the body will not be able to keep up with the speed of the mind.
If you lack judgment and alertness, then if you want to pass this level, you must rely on sufficient physical strength. But Qi Lan wasn't going to do that. He's a shrewd hunter. The hunter has to do what the hunter should do.
He started, and his wind-like pace was the use of the wind he had learned.
"Good body!" The onlookers saw it at a glance and praised it.
Qi Lan escaped into the wooden formation, and the wooden people moved autonomously, observing the position, movement and speed of each wooden figure, judging the timing and direction of their next attack, planning a path in his mind, and instructing his body to make corresponding changes, all of which must be completed in a short moment, otherwise what awaits you will be an unknown attack of the wooden people. Like an agile rabbit, Qi Lan's figure shuttled through the middle of the array, and the wooden man failed to touch the corners of his clothes.
"Good!" the crowd applauded again, thinking that the boy was as good as the girl before him.
Qi Lan quickly passed half the distance, and seeing that the exit was not far away, his heart moved, and he intended to try the strength of the wooden man's attack.
"Poof!" the muffled sound remembered, and people were surprised to find that Qi Lan had been hit in one place, and they all thought he was careless.
"Well, this kind of force can be withstanding, as long as it is not attacked from multiple angles at the same time, it will not disrupt the balance of my body. Qi Lan was secretly happy, he had already tried it, so he was much more relieved, no longer deliberately dodging, even if he was occasionally beaten, it didn't matter the overall situation, and it was much easier to pass the level, and he completed the second half of the journey faster than before.
"Qi Lan, ninety-two points, four hits, if you can reduce your time a little bit or reduce the number of hits, the score can be improved. The manager faithfully kept track of his score and passes, and kindly reminded him of what he was working on.
"Reducing time can also improve your score?" Qi Lan asked.
"Of course, but you have to be fast enough, and there is usually no bonus. For example, if your time is half a minute, you can add one point by reducing it by five seconds. Another example is the girl before, she was hit twice, and the original score was ninety-four, but her time was controlled within twenty-five seconds, so the final score was ninety-five. The manager explained to him very patiently.
"Understood. Qi Lan said.
As long as you increase it by five seconds and reduce the frequency of being hit by the wooden man, it is not difficult to surpass the girl. But now he was not in the mood to compete with her, he remembered the purpose of his coming here, and while the steward was here, it was better to ask him about the Path of Glory, especially between them and the disciples of the outer hall.
"Excuse me, what's going on with the road to glory, I'm very concerned, I'm new here, I don't understand anything. He humbly asked for advice.
Administrator: "The Path of Glory is a strategy developed by the Treasure Hall for the special students of the Inner Hall and the outstanding disciples of the Outer Hall, and it is said that the students or disciples who reach the end of the Path of Glory can obtain super huge rewards. β
"Super huge?" Qi Lan felt that he was suspected of exaggerating by using this word, after all, as a manager of the Glory District, what reward had he not seen?
"Not an exaggeration at all. Seeing that he was half-convinced, the manager continued to explain. At this time, no one challenged the wooden formation, and the crowd of onlookers also came up to listen, "Although I really don't know what has been rewarded over the years, and those who have received the final reward are silent, but there is no doubt about the growth of their strength." But unfortunately, not everyone can go to the end, and not every year there is the person who takes the final reward. The manager sighed.
"I heard that the special students will be squeezed down by the outer hall disciples?" This is what Qi Lan is most concerned about.
The manager looked at him and affirmed, "That's right. This is to motivate students to work hard, even if they are top students, you enjoy the envy of others, you have to accept higher requirements, no pressure is not enough. β
Qi Lan felt that the other party was really a question and answer machine, knowing everything, knowing everything, and talking endlessly.
"Can you tell me about the specific requirements?"
"Junior students, that is, you are the kind of you, the assessment of the path of glory is in one of the three items in our slashing field, which are the active wooden human array, the star array and the tree array. β
"It's all formations. β
"Not really, it's just a name. The manager had something to say, but he paused but didn't talk in detail, and instead said: "You can understand the star array and the tree array after you have seen it, and it is difficult to explain it in words. Each level is divided into different levels, the sum of the scores of all levels of the three levels is the final score, the ranking is determined according to this, refreshed once a month, now your score is ninety-two points, there are thirty special students, there are twenty excellent disciples, according to your current score, the ranking is fifty, the bottom. Afraid that Qi Lan would not know, he continued: "The next assessment will be in half a month, you have to hurry up." β
"Thank you really for your detailed explanation, you haven't asked for your name yet?" Qi Lan thanked the other party for bothering for him and asked for the other party's name.
"Don't give your surname Li, just call me Li Ran. β
Bidding farewell to Li Ran, Qi Lan walked to the other areas of the slashing field, came to a wide pond, and stopped.
On one side of the pond, many people stood or sat still, all staring intently at the pond, and Qi Lan also stared at the pond, and found that there were many large leaves floating on the surface of the pond.
After watching it for a long time, Qi Lan grabbed someone and asked.
"Excuse me, what is this place? β
"Star Array, you don't know?" the man asked him.
Qi Lan shook her head.
"I wonder what you're looking at?" the man asked again.
"Then what are you looking at?" Qi Lan felt that this kind of conversation was stupid, and decided to ask someone else.
Walking up to a person who was paying attention, "Excuse meβ" Before he could finish his sentence, the other party waved his hand impatiently.
"Don't bother me!"
Qi Lan found another person, and before he could speak, the other party walked away. He was puzzled, but thankfully someone finally paid attention to him.
"This friend is new here, come over here, don't disturb others. Someone beckoned to him.
