Red Mountain Academy took great pains to prepare five arenas of the same size for the students of the fifth grade, designed five super-large maps of the same size, and did not have a special focus on the publicity and distribution resources, which was an out-and-out five-part year-end test.

However, the reality is extremely utilitarian, and almost as soon as the arena is open to the audience, the popularity rushes to one of them.

The first-year testing hall was already full within 10 minutes of opening, and in addition to the more than 9,000 seats, the college also thoughtfully designed standing, sleeping and hanging seats, making the audience area extremely popular...... Even so, more people stood guard at the teleportation entrance to the ground, repeating the murmuring words like a curse.

"Brother, do you have a ticket......"

"Brother, do you want a ticket......"

In comparison, the popularity of the other four arenas has withered, which can be described as miserable, and the graduates who have received the most attention in the past can only see sparse spectators in the audience, and the picture is like the top of the greasy middle-aged head of a certain Shengyuan academic group...... And most of them are still obviously impatient on their faces, as if they only got the final prize when the unit distributed welfare tickets, and a few of them were even excessive, although they were sitting in the arena of graduates, they were watching the broadcast of the first grade with a portable projection magic tool in their hands, which was simply a crumb of the world on the spot!

For an arena of unprecedented size, the performance of the audience was nothing short of humiliating.

Naturally, the morale of the graduates is also low.

In previous years, at the end of each year, it was the most glorious moment in the lives of the graduates of the academy, and the eyes of the entire academy and even the Great Qin Empire's Demon Dao Circle would be focused, paying attention to the "latest masterpiece" of the highest demon Dao school of the Great Qin Empire.

The standard of a demonic academy is nothing more than what the instructors have achieved in cutting-edge theories, and what kind of students they have cultivated. The quality of the students is undoubtedly more important than that, because that means the future of the empire. And Hongshan Academy has always lived up to the glory it carries, sending elite level demon Taoists to the Qin State and even human civilization one after another.

Even if it is a relatively mediocre year, the demon Taoist who completed his studies from Hongshan Academy also has enough capital to be proud of the world, not to mention that this year's graduates cannot be said to be mediocre, as a leader among his peers, even if Ge Cun is not as good as the original poem and other demons, but he rarely makes a fool of himself in many college exchange activities, and he is a very reliable backbone talent.

Now, when the morale of his classmates is low, he is also the first to stand up and inspire.

"Our year-end test is not meant to be shown to others, so what does it matter how popular we are? Are we studying hard at Hongshan Academy for five years to make a splash? Isn't an excellent report card more important than the cheers and applause of the ignorant crowd?"

These words are undoubtedly true, and many people nodded their heads when they heard it, and their frustration also improved. But there are still people who are indignant.

"But it's a capture the flag battle here, and there are not even many people who pay attention, and the glorious tradition of Hongshan Academy will be disgraced......"

Ge Cun said with a solemn face: "Don't implicate your incompetence in the academy! If you really want to add glory to the academy, you can show your strength in the Capture the Flag Battle! The competition schedule of this test is quite long, several times longer than the Capture the Flag Battle in previous years, and the popularity will change with time. Now the first-year heat is a kind of overdraft heat, except for those two, the rest of them are still only freshmen, far from us full-fledged graduates. As long as we can really show the quality of a graduate, we don't have to worry about the audience's reaction. ”

This statement is also true, although it may not be convincing to everyone, but at least it can make everyone shut up and have no way to refute.

Ge Cun, a student who has been moving straight forward like an honor student template since he entered the school, and has been the face of Hongshan College for a long time. Although it is not as dazzling as those peerless geniuses, and it has been repeatedly defeated in many top-level competitions, but in the eyes of many people who run schools, such people can really represent the true level of an academy. Those who are too talented beyond their peers can shine wherever they go, but geniuses in the general sense need to be carefully crafted in order to shine. Ge Cun's brilliance is the work of Hongshan Academy, so ......

So when exactly will Bai Xiao's test start!?

——

At the same time, Bai Xiao was waiting quietly in the arena.

Not far away, surrounded by a group of noisy classmates, they were also Bai Xiao's next test opponents. This group of people has been excited like beasts in heat since they entered the arena, and the refreshing feeling of being in the spotlight is obviously too intense for most teenagers.

Although everyone also knows that the focus is only on the Snow Mountain Duo, and the rest of them are just adding heads, but what about adding heads? The National Day of the Empire to commemorate the victory of the War of Independence, the protagonist has never been Shengdou Xiaomin, but it does not affect Shengdou Xiaomin's holiday carnival!

However, in the carnival atmosphere, Bai Xiao was not half happy, his face was as solemn as an ice sculpture, he sat on the chair, and he didn't talk to anyone - even if Qingyue, Zuo Qingsui and others were standing not far away and chatting and laughing softly,

When you come to the arena, you are competitors. And when competing with Qingyue, Bai Xiao will not have the slightest relaxation. Before the start of the main game, Bai Xiao calmed down and sorted out his combat strategy again.

In terms of direct combat power, it should be that he has an overwhelming advantage, no matter how far Qingyue has walked on the path of the demon path now, and how deep she has dived, Bai Xiao is confident enough to defeat her...... But this kind of combat power advantage has no direct significance, Qingyue will only go head-to-head with Bai Xiao unless she doesn't want to play.

The key to victory or defeat lies in the rules, under different rules, the two have very different play space, and the so-called rules, in other simple and easy-to-understand terms, is "map design".

Zheng Liming once made the simplest demonstration for Bai Xiao, the two sides of the competition occupied their own half in a wide space, each side has its own power, and a large number of cheap labor plays an important role. Students will need to show their talents and make the most of the map resources in order to win the final victory.

Although it was only a simple demo map, Bai Xiao was already surprised by its complexity, and according to the map prepared by the academy for the year-end test, it was far more complex than ten times.

The more complex the map, the more obvious Qingyue's advantage became, so Zheng Liming formulated a beheading plan for Bai Xiao, and directly simplified the map he was responsible for to maximize his combat advantage.

But...... The plan still can't catch up with the changes, because the plan of the year-end test was suddenly adjusted, and the academy council has made a lot of optimization and improvement to the test map in the inventory, not only expanding the scale of the map, adding a large number of outsourced temporary workers, but also changing the map script beyond recognition, so there is a huge suspense about whether Bai Xiao's original plan can be carried out as usual.

According to the original design, most of the "key roles" played by real people on the test map can be killed by force, and Bai Xiao can even go head-to-head with multiple demon master-level cosplayers at the same time when the magic equipment library is at full capacity.

After all, it is difficult for a master who is really good at actual combat and has deep qualifications to be recruited into this kind of test to be a temporary worker......

With such a huge combat advantage, Bai Xiao can crush most of the map rules, give full play to his advantages, and even he can do it more extremely, directly killing the opponent's home field after the opening, and facing the huge disadvantage of the away battle, and clearing all the opponents by force.

Zheng Liming and Bai Xiao worked together to deduce, without considering the variable of Qingyue, all the remaining people in the same grade added up to one or two demon masters, and they couldn't stop Bai Xiao from killing all the students before he was hit hard.

But Qingyue's combat power is really difficult to estimate, her strength alone can't be too high in any case, but it's difficult to say her role in the team, so ......

Just when Bai Xiao was doing the final deduction alone, he suddenly heard an exclamation from beside him.

"The Battle for the Capture the Flag has begun!"

Bai Xiao's attention couldn't help but be distracted.

Capture the Flag, a battle for graduates.

This is the highlight of every year in previous years, and all the teachers and students of the college will put their best efforts into it to strive for the most wonderful results, but this year's Capture the Flag Battle was eye-catching by the freshmen, which was slightly embarrassing.

But at least at the academy level, the graduates were not wronged by this, and the configuration of the Capture the Flag was still the most high-end, although the budget of the five arenas in the public budget book was the same, but everyone knew that the graduate test must have condensed the most painstaking efforts.

Therefore, even though their own tests are about to begin, the freshmen will still be distracted to pay attention to the Capture the Flag battle that will start first.

And when the picture of the live broadcast became clear, there were more exclamations.

"Actually...... Human-demon war. ”

"The college is really good at a good price. ”

"It's not just about funding...... This is the first time someone has recreated a human-demon battle in a virtualized map, right?"

With the noise of the students, Bai Xiao's eyes also turned to the projection magic equipment in the lounge.

In the picture, the graduates, led by Ge Cun, were put on the battlefield like purgatory on earth!

Almost immediately, a student on the edge of the teleportation was seriously injured by the hideous-looking demonic beast, and the protective magic equipment on his body swayed, and his own image became half-virtual and half-real, which was a harbinger of being judged to leave.

Fortunately, the students who were graduates also showed quite high tactical quality, and they reacted immediately, someone was responsible for cover, someone was responsible for medical treatment, and Ge Cun directly incarnated into a turret, blasting the sneak attack of the demonic beast to pieces with a series of elemental domain supernatural powers.

"Quickly withdraw, this is just a meat livestock grazing by the demons, and soon the real demons will come!"

Ge Zheng blended into the scene in an instant, and played the role of the team leader during the Demon War without any sense of disobedience.

And just as he expected, just after a few demonic beasts were smashed by the students, a huge shadow soon fell from the sky.

"Demon ......"

"It's a demon?"

"Is it the real deal?"

Everything about the demons, today's humans can only understand a scaly claw. Everyone knows that the Great War that broke out 2,500 years ago almost destroyed human civilization, and that it was from the invaders that humanity drew strength from the invaders to build the vast civilization it is today. But for the image of the demon deity, most people have only seen it in textbooks. A small number of so-called specimens have also been stained with various doubts in the long history.

So much so that many times, people simply use their imagination to complete the image of the demons, and in albums and film and television works, the demons are presented in people's cognition with a variety of strange images, and the effect is more acceptable than the rigorous research in textbooks.

However, at this moment, the darkness that covers the sky and the sun in the picture has exceeded everyone's understanding.

"Academy...... This is a bit too hard, isn't it? Is this asking the graduates to perform for everyone?"

"Five years of hard work, and then shine for a while? seniors are so pitiful......"

But soon a few bolts of lightning burst out, but they shot straight into the air from the ground.

The dazzling pillar of thunder was like a spear of materialization, piercing through the dome-like darkness, tearing out a deafening roar in the night.

After that, a group of humans in strange costumes drove quickly in a cloud car that shone with thunder, and joined the graduates.

"Ah, it's the Thunder Relic......"

"The elemental messenger at the beginning of the demon invasion seems to have perished quickly due to elemental exhaustion......

"But in the beginning, only they could fight human civilization. ”

Obviously, the screenwriters of the Capture the Flag Battle did not intend to deliberately make things difficult for the students, but just gave them a disgrace in the opening scene. After the thrilling beginning, the rest of the development calms down, and the theme becomes how to cooperate with the ancestors to fight the demons, during which it is up to the students to decide whether the student team will work together as a whole or split into multiple teams to compete and cooperate.

Before the students could see the next scene, a shrill bell was already ringing in the lounge.

Everyone immediately became nervous.

Because this is the ringtone that belongs to their test opening.

No matter how exciting the demon war of the seniors is, now is not the time to pay attention, after all...... Students are strictly forbidden to participate in gambling, so no matter who gets the Haotian Banner in the end, or simply annihilates the army, it has nothing to do with them.

What matters is what they can do in their own tests.

And judging from the map that just captured the flag, the scale of this year-end test has completely exceeded imagination!

In the midst of everyone's apprehension, Bai Xiao took the lead in standing up and prepared to walk out of the door.

However, before he took a step, the scenery around him changed suddenly.

After the alarm bell sounded, the academy would no longer give students time to warm up, so everyone in the first year was pulled directly from the common room to the virtual map in the arena at this moment.

The next moment, Bai Xiao heard a sigh not far away.

"So, ladies and gentlemen, where should the empire's first Demon Dao Academy be built, do you have a plan?"
