Chapter 3 Written Examination

Walking into the second floor, I saw a row of counters arranged in order, and behind each counter, a director was explaining to the newcomers who needed to be assessed. Above the eight counters, it was written heaven, earth, xuan, huang, yu, zhou, hong, and desolate, Qin Bai walked to the second counter, and it was a middle-aged man who was in charge of receiving him, only to see the man stretch out his hand and swipe in the air, and a forest scene appeared in front of him. "Tell me how many wraiths are there in this scene?"

Being able to see the spirits is the most basic condition for becoming a soul crosser.

Qin Bai stared at the scene in front of him, counted them and replied, "Three." ”

"Correct." Then the man handed over a black stone that said it was not round or square. "Infuse your spiritual power into the Spirit Stone."

Qin Bai took the stone, his hand was quite heavy, and a trace of coldness came from the palm of his hand. Qin Bai's mind communicates with the spiritual aura, leading out a stream of spiritual energy that slowly flows to the palm, and then spits out from the palm, the spiritual energy flashes in when it touches the black stone, and after inhaling the spiritual energy, the stone slowly turns from black to dark green, from dark green to light green, and then to light green, and after staying in light green, it will no longer change, and after about three breaths, it will return to a black state.

Spiritual Power Grade: Light Green; Spiritual Concentration: Elementary. The directors kept a detailed record of these contents.

"Congratulations on becoming a trainee soul crosser. You only need to pass the trial of the apprentice soul master to become a qualified soul master. As he spoke, he handed over a pentagonal token. I've entered your identity into this apprentice token, and you can now wrap it in psionic sense for authentication. Good luck passing the test. ”

Qin Bai took the token, the token was warm and moist, the material was neither gold nor jade, but the texture was extremely tough. The token is light green, with the icon of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth painted on it, and the Guild of Soul Masters is written in the center. Qin Bai held the token in his hand, and a cloud of white smoke slowly gushed out from his palm, and the smoke flowed slowly, wrapping the token in the middle, and a piece of information was transmitted into his brain. The information details the instructions for using the token, as well as the requirements for becoming an official Soul Bearer.

The Soul Crossing Token is not only a status symbol, but also a communication tool between Spirit Travelers, and other Spirit Crossing Marks can be stored in the token to communicate with each other.

"I have left my spiritual power mark in your token, you can always come to me if you have any questions during the assessment process of the soul crosser." After Qin Bai completed the certification, the director said to him.

It turns out that the trial of officially becoming a soul master is divided into three parts, the first part is the written test, the second part is the combat effectiveness test, and the third part is the comprehensive strength test.

The first test was conducted the day after tomorrow, and I returned home with my sister. This is a dilapidated small courtyard, the gate is a little crumbling because of disrepair, push open the courtyard door and enter, you will see a small vegetable field opened by grandpa in the yard, planting some seasonal vegetables. The hall house is three earthen houses, the middle earthen house is the hall house, and the other two grandfathers and Qin Bai each live in one. The left transept is the kitchen, and the right transept is stocked with some grain. Grandpa had already prepared a meal and was waiting for them to eat in the hall. Although the Wraith doesn't feel hungry without eating, Grandpa still cooks three meals. Grandpa is not a spirit crosser, he can't see Qin Mo, and can only feel her existence through Qin Bai's description.

"Xiaomo, try your favorite Nandu wheat core noodles and white jade stewed tofu that grandpa made for you."

Qin Mo didn't wait for his grandfather to say hello, he had already started to eat in a hurry. As he ate, he muttered, "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”

"Grandpa, hurry up and eat, the food should be cold in a while, she eats well, you don't have to worry about her." Qin Bai glanced at his sister who was desperately eating and said.

"When grandpa is gone, you will be left to depend on each other, and you have to take care of your sister." As soon as he talked about Qin Mo, the corners of his grandfather's eyes were a little wet.

"Grandpa is in such good health, don't keep saying these unlucky words, when I pass the spirit master exam, I will earn money to support you, so that grandpa can also enjoy the blessings." Qin Bai patted his chest and made a very responsible appearance.

"Our little white has grown up and grown into a man." Grandpa smiled with relief. "Come, eat, eat."

Two days passed quickly, Qin Bai came to the examination room early in the morning, and there were already a lot of apprentice spirit masters who had come to the examination outside the examination room, some of them got together in twos and threes to talk and laugh, some were mavericks and went alone, and some of them were dressed like candidates who did not look like the clothes of the Yanhuang Empire.

Qin Bai was worried that it would be inconvenient for Qin Mo to come out during the exam, so he took his sister into the Yunling Bead. A few pairs of malicious eyes in the distance glanced over here. However, none of this attracted Qin Bai's attention.

After entering the examination room, after Qin Bai found his seat with the number plate, he found that the examination room was surprisingly large, arranged in a staircase shape, with hundreds of tables arranged, and a rectangular step on the front side, and a serious-looking invigilator standing on the stage waiting for the examiners to enter.

Because it is arranged in a stepped pattern, the position of the invigilator can see each candidate. Hundreds of tables were filled one after another.

The invigilator spoke: "Before the assessment begins, I will announce today's assessment rules, today's assessment time is two hours, every half an hour I will announce an exam rule, I will only say each rule once, the hourglass around me is timed for half an hour, that is, every time the hourglass is finished, I will announce a rule, these rules will determine whether you pass the assessment." Each of you has today's assessment papers on your desk, please answer the questions carefully. The invigilator read the exam rules with a grim face.

Qin Bai looked down at the desktop, there was only a piece of paper, a stroke, a piece of ink on the table, and nothing else. He immediately understood that this was definitely not a simple exam, and he had to deal with it carefully.

The invigilator continued: "Rule 1: You must not leave your seat during the assessment, you must not talk, and if you are found by the invigilator, you will be disqualified immediately. Exams begin! After the invigilator finished speaking, he turned the hourglass of time upside down, and the quicksand flowed down one by one.

There was silence in the examination room, and it was clear that everyone had not yet found a clue.

Qin Bai first tried to inject spiritual power into the test paper, and then tried to inject spiritual power into his eyes, but the test paper was still blank and there was no change.

Other clever candidates began to try to do something, and a man in a blue suit tried to paint the paper with ink, but found nothing; There is also a man in purple who wets the entire roll with water, and others also use medicinal solutions, those who use spiritual power to test, and even use a knife to cut the test paper to see if there are any cracks, but they all find nothing.

A woman in green, offering a talisman pen, drew a small flame array, put the test paper on the fire to bake, and a line of small words slowly appeared on the test paper, "Rule 2: Those who damage the test paper will be disqualified from the exam." When the woman in green saw the words appearing, she was so excited that she couldn't control the fire, and the test paper was burned out of a hole.

The invigilator watched the candidate's every move from the stage, "Since you have unlocked Rule 2 in advance, then candidates 18, 24, 35, 42, 57, 66, 78, and 92 have been disqualified from the exam, please leave the exam room." ”

I saw that the candidates who applied ink to the test papers, the candidates who used water, the candidates who cut the test papers, and the woman in green who used fire left the examination room in frustration.

There was a man in a gorgeous suit who was reluctant to leave the examination room: "Why do you say that if we are eliminated, we will be eliminated, I am not convinced." The invigilator showed a grim look, "I have the final say in the examination room." As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand forward, and an aura burst out of his body, conjuring up a giant claw, grabbing the young man in Chinese clothes and throwing him out of the examination room. Who still has doubts? No one dared to make a noise in the examination room, and the candidates who were named left the examination room obediently.

As a result of unlocking the second rule early, the proctor swapped an hourglass to re-time.

Qin Bai slowly began to think, "What is the most important ability of the Spirit Crossing Master, which is keen observation and insight, so the focus may not be the point, the focus is to discover the true information hidden in the assessment rules. After figuring this out, Qin Bai no longer wasted time on the test papers. Instead, focus on the loopholes in the two existing rules. "The loophole in rule one is that if you are discovered, you will be disqualified from the exam, and the other side is that as long as you are not discovered, you will not be disqualified." "The loophole in Rule 2 is that those who damage the test papers will be disqualified from the assessment, but it does not say that they damage other people's test papers or damage their own test papers, that is, whether they damage other people's test papers or damage their own test papers, as long as they damage the test papers, they will be disqualified from the examination. So the best way to do this is to stand still and wait for the rules to appear. ”

I believe that many candidates can already speculate on the loopholes in Rule 1, but it is estimated that there will be a large number of candidates who cannot think of the hidden information in Rule 2.

One by one, the hourglass slipped and the exam room fell silent again, waiting for the third rule to appear. Qin Bai also began to look at the other candidates, and suddenly found that the woman with the resentful spirit when she signed up was also in the examination room, wearing a purple tights that made the curves of her body look concave and convex, her facial features were small and exquisite, and her long black hair was combed into a flying fairy bun. The wraith is an old man who is now floating above the woman's head!

Only then did Qin Bai understand that the original examination room did not restrict the activities of resentful spirits, and there was indeed no prohibition in the rules. Thinking of Qin Mo's active personality, he was afraid that he would suffocate her, so he released his sister too.

After my sister came out, she looked at everything in the examination room curiously, and she also saw the ghost of the old man, and actually ran over to chat with the old man. After chatting for a while, I felt bored, and wanted to run out to have a look by myself, but Qin Bai quietly sent a voice and told her sister not to let her leave the examination room too far, so she could only move nearby. After all, Qin Mo has a child's heart, and he ran out to play. A gorgeously dressed young man in the back row stared at Qin Mo who went out, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, if Qin Bai saw him, he would definitely know him, this young man was the son of the Ling family in Donglu County, and Wu Renyi, a well-known gentleman in the town.

Time passes little by little with the fine sand of the hourglass, when the last grain of fine sand falls.

"Rule three: Only half of the people in this field can pass the assessment." The grim-faced invigilator coldly read out the third rule.

Qin Bai's brain was running rapidly: "It turns out that the assessment is not to complete the assessment by yourself, but to make it impossible for others to complete the assessment." When half of the people who can't complete the assessment are completed, the rest of the people will complete the assessment! Thinking of this, Qin Bai quickly applied a defensive spirit shield to himself, guarding against a sneak attack that might come from anyone.

Many people in the exam room realized the meaning of this third rule, and everyone became everyone at risk and took a defensive posture. With a "bang", someone finally couldn't help but make the first move, and a candidate's stool broke in response, forcing the candidate to stand up. "On the 27th, he was disqualified from the exam and left the exam room." When there was a situation here that attracted the attention of most people, a small number finally chose this opportunity to make a move.

Wu Renyi in the back row was also one of the people who shot, and his target was Qin Bai! Because Qin Bai had made a defensive posture early in the morning, what he sneaked up on was only Qin Bai's test paper. Qin Bai guessed his purpose when he saw him draw the flame array runes, so he deliberately did not protect the test paper, obviously Wu Renyi did not discover the second layer of meaning hidden by the second rule.

A flame quietly burned on Qin Bai's test paper, and a smug smile like a successful trick appeared on Wu Renyi's face, and at the same time, whirlwinds, lightning, flames, and all kinds of attacks in the examination room were endless, and the sound of stools shattering, the sound of test papers tearing, and the exclamations of candidates suddenly floating in the air were endless. “16、29、32…… Lose your qualification and leave the examination room. The invigilator's emotionless voice rang in his ears again.

Wu Renyi stood up in astonishment: "Why did you eliminate me and not him?" Wu Renyi pointed his finger at Qin Bai and questioned the invigilator, while Qin Bai looked at him like a fool. The invigilator didn't answer him, but conjured a pair of giant claws and threw him out of the exam room. The assessment continues, and so far 39 people have been eliminated, and the remaining 11 people will be able to pass the exam. Everyone has gone from unscrupulous shots to now becoming cautious every time they make a move.

Qin Bai finally locked on the target, Mei Liangxin, a gangster in the town!

At this time, everyone focused on their own defense and the surrounding candidates, no one noticed that Qin Bai's target was actually a lantern on the beam, Qin Bai controlled a spiritual power ball, quietly came to the roof, and suddenly exploded above the lantern, the spiritual power ball was very small, and the explosion power was also weak, but it was enough to knock the lantern down.

The lantern fell from the roof and smashed down on Mei Liangxin's head, he could have blocked it with his hands or carried it down with his head, after all, the lantern was light and small, but out of the instinctive reaction of the battle, he quickly dodged to the side and left his seat, and immediately after leaving, he realized that he had misjudged, but it was too late.

Just when the lantern fell, the examinees were distracted, several more people attacked, and a man in black actually cultivated his spiritual power into a silk thread state, wrapped the stool of the examinee in front of him with silk thread, and forced the person to pull the person out of his seat, and a young man in dark green clothes was even more damaged, summoning flames to burn directly under the buttocks of other candidates, forcing the person to leave his seat.

It's too late, it's too fast, and these actions happen in an instant. The proctor began to announce: "No. 17, No. 38, No. 69, No. 74, No. 82...... If you are disqualified, please leave the examination room. The remaining candidates have all passed the first round of assessment and will participate in the second assessment tomorrow. Mei Liangxin obviously knew that it was Qin Bai's hand, and when she left the examination room, she stared at Qin Bai and gritted her teeth.

When the invigilator announced that the exam had passed, bursts of cheers erupted in the examination room.

Qin Bai also jumped up happily, and suddenly he remembered Qin Mo who he was running out to play, and couldn't help but sigh for a while, my sister is really a child, and I don't know if I come back when I play.

He got up and left the examination room and walked towards the courtyard, when he suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the courtyard, followed by his sister's slightly crying voice: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, come and save me!" ”
