Chapter 18: Proving Ground I
With a burst of brilliant white light, the surrounding scenery began to transform into a forest. The trees, the sun, the wind, everything was real. Lin Hao couldn't help but praise this.
Compared with Lin Hao's admiration, the demon pupil snorted disdainfully: "It's just some small visual tricks, plus some small means to give some tactile stimulation, compared to my soul-based illusion, I'm afraid it's the class to get an axe!"
Lin Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Hey~ You are a killing skill, is this the same as increasing the realism of the battle? Naturally, it can't compare to yours~"
Hearing Lin Hao's words, the demon pupil was a little proud, leaving a sentence of "of course" and there was no afterword.
Sigh and sigh, you still can't forget the business, this is here to challenge, not to sightsee. At this time, a line of small print had already appeared in the sky.
Welcome to the Virtual Proving Ground, you are currently in the first level, the total number of points for this challenge is 0, and this level is awarded 10 points. To start the challenge, place your hand on the stone pillar on the left. If you choose to quit, place your hand on the right pillar. Once the challenge has started, it is not possible to quit halfway, and if the student "dies" in the challenge, the challenge will be considered a failure, and the student will be sent out of the trial ground and one-third of the total points will be deducted. The Proving Ground does no substantial damage to the entity.
Lin Hao read the prompt and felt that it could not cause any substantial damage to the ontology, which was very metaphysical. But when you think about it, it's also relieved that since you can simulate the scenery and the feeling of the wind blowing here, it is natural that the body can be injured and hurt. Lin Hao didn't care about these things, after all, this is a magical world, everything is possible, so he went straight to the stone pillar on the left and pressed it.
After pressing it, the surrounding scenery did not change much, except that the words in the sky and the two stone pillars just now disappeared. However, Lin Hao's spatial perception took the lead in reminding Lin Hao, and the energy in the rear began to gather, which was the prelude to an attack, how could Lin Hao let him succeed, and directly shot a stone over, and the unknown creature was seriously injured and died. That's it for the first level.
The familiar words and stone pillars appeared in front of him out of thin air, Lin Hao didn't bother to look at it and directly entered the next level, with Lin Hao's strength, the first few levels were not to be feared at all, and he was about to start challenging the fourth level, but the manager of the fourth level had already mentioned fifty, and Lin Hao's cumulative points were only forty, and the original clear sky of the forest had become a darkness that could hardly be seen. It seems that this level is much more difficult than it should be.
However, Lin Hao did not mean to be afraid, the darkness did greatly limit the visual senses, but Lin Hao still had spatial perception. Although the range was only ten meters in a radius due to his inability to use the laws of space, coupled with the speed of his sixth-order wind attribute, the two could still be dealt with with complementing each other.
Having said that, Lin Hao still maintained a high degree of vigilance, and the sense of depression in the dark made Lin Hao choose to strike first. With his precise perception, Lin Hao finally found the opponent of this level, the fourth-order early stage of the Warcraft Night Wolf.
The Night Wolf is nocturnal, its pure black body and emaciated speed make it useful in the night, but it has no long-range attack, but a very primitive bite.
Seeing Lin Hao coming straight over, the night wolf didn't use to attack directly, but quickly disappeared into the night, and the speed was no less than that of a fifth-order demonic beast. It's not its strong point to face the enemy head-on, it's the desire to sneak up on it with a lethal blow. Lin Hao wanted to take the lead and quickly chased after him, the speed of the sixth order unfolded, and immediately surpassed the night wolf, Lin Hao punched the night wolf in the head with a backhand, and the wild wolf was instantly knocked into the big tree next to him and fell to the ground, Lin Hao didn't give it a chance to react, and kicked it in the head again. Night wolf, dead.
The fourth level was successfully challenged, and it was time to reach the fifth level. The scenery of this level has changed again, the original forest has become a desert, the reward has been increased to 100, and there are even a few more weapons, it seems that this level has to be dealt with carefully, the last level is a fourth-order Warcraft, then the next level is likely to be a fifth-order Warcraft, and the comprehensive strength should be at least equivalent to a mid-fifth-order human. Lin Hao walked to the weapon table, what made Lin Hao speechless was that these weapons actually needed points to buy, from three to six grades, just one three-grade one needed twenty points, and the sixth-grade ones were as high as three hundred points. And the weapon you buy can only be used in this trial, and you will have to buy it again the next time you enter the trial ground. The good news is that the weapon can change its form according to one's imagination, and the power remains the same.
Lin Hao bought the worst third-grade weapon, transformed it into a straight-edged Tang knife, and began to challenge the fifth level.
With the disappearance of the text and the stone pillars, the fifth level officially begins. The desert is a very unfamiliar environment for Lin Hao, the blazing sun in the sky is baking the sand, and the heat wave is blowing so that Lin Hao has to divide some fighting energy to resist the heat, but the surroundings are endless, except for sand or sand, there is no shadow of the enemy. However, just when Lin Hao thought that this level was to get out of the desert, the sand under his feet suddenly felt a little strange, and something important was about to come out. Lin Hao quickly retreated, and at the same time, a huge monster rushed out of the ground from where Lin Hao was standing just now, bringing up a large cloud of sand. Only then did Lin Hao see the face of the enemy, it was a giant snake, more than ten meters long, one meter thick, with a flat head, accompanied by patterns, and a stinger on its back, black and shiny, Lin Hao knew its name from his own cognition, Sand Yellow.
Lin Hao tightened his grip on the Tang Hengdao in his hand, this situation was very unfavorable to Lin Hao, but he still had to bite the bullet. Lin Hao used his speed to go around the back and want to attack from behind, but this only needed a turn of the head for the sand mare to do it, the sand mare opened its big mouth, accompanied by the foul-smelling poisonous mist spewing out of its mouth, fortunately Lin Hao's speed was not slow, and before the poisonous mist arrived, he reached the back and slashed at the tail of the sand mare. Sha Wei was in pain, and quickly shook his tail to slap Lin Hao, and with the shaking, he also raised the sand in the sky. Lin Hao had no choice but to retreat temporarily. However, the sand wreak did not relent, and began to spray venom from the stinger on his back, and the venom began to sizzle when it touched the ground, and black smoke came out repeatedly, and the venom was so strong that Lin Hao gasped.
Lin Hao looked at the sand mare, who kept shooting venom at him, he was very helpless, the sand mare, he could spray venom from a long range, and he could spray poisonous mist, backstab and entangle at a close range, and he could also hide underground. I haven't learned any high-level martial arts, and I can't do magic, only some fighting experience. I'm afraid that I will be consumed to death by this sand mare, so I can't go on like this, I can only harden it, Lin Hao's wind attribute is fully open and uses the maximum speed to attack the sand mare's face door, and sure enough, the sand mares began to spray poisonous mist, and with the help of the wind attribute Lin Hao moved to the back of the sand mare's head at an extremely tricky angle. A knife stabbed at the head of the sand mare, but the speed of the sand mare's head shrunk should not be underestimated, this shrinkage has opened the killing distance, and the huge tail was drawn towards Lin Hao, Lin Hao scolded secretly, using the only martial art to kick the drawn tail, the two touched, Lin Hao only felt that the blood surged, and with the help of the reaction force, he shot to the door of the sand man's face again, fortunately, the poisonous mist had not yet formed, Lin Hao's hard anti-poisonous mist stabbed the throat of the sand mare. The blow was fatal, and the sand fell to the ground with a heavy blow. And Lin Hao, except for the upsurge of qi and blood caused by the backlash just now, and a slight burning sensation on his skin, it was not a big deal.
The fifth level, pass!
The surrounding scenery began to change again, from the original desert to an open space, and unlike the original levels, the enemy this time was not a monster but a human, and since the level had not yet started, the human was just sitting there and not moving. The reward for passing the level has also been increased to two hundred and fifty, and this time it should be a sixth-order master.
Lin Hao weighed the pros and cons and wanted to continue to challenge. Three hundred points is still very tempting. However, Lin Hao was still careful, replaced the original third-order weapon, and chose a fourth-order weapon worth 50 points, and the weapon style was still the appearance of a Tang knife. This should increase your win rate a bit.
Lin Hao breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly walked to the left pillar and slowly pressed it. Start the sixth level!
