Chapter 402: The third level of assessment in the Land of Ten Thousand Demons!
The preacher and scholar Qiao Song was an expert at preaching, and his effect of boosting morale was also quite good. After Zhao Xing came out of retreat, he also gave Qiao Song a few words of "words" which made him more motivated and he quickly entered the state of competition.
When Zhao Xing walked out of the training ground and came to the competition venue, he soon attracted a lot of attention, most of whom were from the top leaders of the Beihe Galaxy.
Among the 105 people in the Beihe Galaxy, Zhao Xing received the most attention.
Because there were only twelve Si Nong who entered the third round, and Zhao Xing was the only one in the battle division of our faction.
"The original world is dominated by the ego faction, and combat-type Si Nong are even rarer. If the people of the Beihe galaxy can pass the test, then Zhao Xing's hope of becoming a disciple of a strong man will be very great." The Beihe lord said with a hint of expectation.
For seven consecutive years, no one from the Beihe Galaxy has entered the primordial realm, which is not just a matter of face.
The actual distribution of benefits has also been affected.
No one from the Beihe Galaxy's Seventh Generation entered the Primordial Realm, and the Beihe Lord had not received any extra 'True Spirit Fruit' from the Primordial Realm for 21,000 years.
The Red Star Empire lets strong men become lords, but it is not for nothing, there are also assessments.
If a strong person only cares about his own development and does not pay attention to his people, then in terms of "education", the Lord of Beihe will not meet the standards and will get less resources.
The True Spirit Fruit is a treasure that can strengthen the True Spirit in the Reincarnation Realm!
How could it be as comfortable to become stronger through reincarnation practice as to take the True Spirit Fruit?
Therefore, Lord Beihe ordered his subordinate Qiao Song to meet all the requests of the contestants.
Zhao Xing wants to practice? He directly sent 158 Dao Realm masters to serve as sparring partners. Under normal circumstances, there would be no such free benefits!
"I hope I can get one this year." Lord Beihe thought silently in his heart. He is not at the emperor level and still has a great demand for this kind of resources.
Among the 105 people, 54 are his direct talents, and six of the twelve Si Nong are from Beihejie Star.
"If one person enters, I'll give him one. If two people enter, I'll give him two. The more people enter, the better. I haven't tasted the true spirit fruit for more than 20,000 years."
"The third round of the Origin Conference will still be held in the twenty-eight super-first-tier star systems."
"In the Manya galaxy where I am, there are still tens of millions of Si Nong contestants at this moment."
When Zhao Xing went to the preparation hall to prepare, he also learned the number of participants.
"That is to say, after two rounds of selection, the Red Star Empire still has more than 200 million talented Si Nong entering the third round." Zhao Xing closed his eyes and rested in the chair.
This is a teleportation array hall, and the 105 people from the Beihe Galaxy have now completed the division.
Since the battle in Beihe Galaxy was headed towards our company, Zhao Xing was the only one left, so he was all alone in the entire teleportation hall, with no one to talk to.
"I remember that this year, after the third round, there were a million talented Si Nong left, which was about a 1 to elimination rate."
"After the fourth round, you will enter the Primordial Realm, which consists of about 10,000 talented Si-Nongs."
"Ten thousand people include six divisions: time, place, self, assistance and combat direction."
"Among them, the majority are those who have the right time and right place. In fact, there are only about 2,000 people in the Self-Faction."
"More than 2,000 people will basically become disciples of the Samsara Realm. However, there are differences in the Samsara Realm. Ordinary people don't have the heart to become disciples, but the difference between senior, elite, and emperor-level Samsara Realm teachers is huge."
"You have to perform well in the third and fourth rounds to get a good teacher."
"The teacher is strong enough. Even if he lets slip some benefits, it will benefit the disciples in the origin realm infinitely."
"If I want to learn Zuo Qiyu's straw man method, I must at least have a master who is an emperor, or I can simply worship Zuo Qiyu as my master to have a chance."
The ego faction has a bad temper and a serious case of stupidity.
In his previous life in the Primordial Realm, Mr. Zhao once went to seek advice from a senior reincarnation master named Gong Fa.
As a result, before he could say a few words and raised his doubts, Gong Fa started to curse: "Your qualifications are really crooked and inferior, you are not worthy of practicing this method."
Mr. Zhao was completely stunned by the scolding.
Of course I come to ask questions only when I have doubts. If I don’t have any doubts, why would I ask?
Or you should just not agree to it. If you agree, you will turn hostile after just a few words of instruction?
What a bad attitude.
Recalling this past event, Zhao Xing wanted to pin Gong Fa to the ground and rub him.
"How can it be like the Dili School? The Dili School of Taigu Hill cannot teach you in one go, so they will carefully explain it several times.
"Even if he is at the Emperor's Reincarnation Realm, he will sometimes sit down and discuss Taoism with the Si Nong at the Origin Realm."
When Mr. Zhao was in the Dao Realm, he even called on the elites in the Samsara Realm to work on the project together.
When he asked Emperor Hongshan to come, he knew that Emperor Hongshan had a good temper.
"I'm afraid Zuo Qiyu is such a person. If I can't get him as my master, then I have to find a teacher with the same status as him, otherwise he might scold me to the point of collapse."
"Oh, the most likely possibility is that they won't care at all and won't even meet you."
After waiting quietly in the war preparation hall for two days, Zhao Xing once again met Emperor Chen Jiu and the original messenger Zuo Qi Yu.
"The third round of the assessment, 'Ten Thousand Demons Star Continent', is about to begin. Everyone please prepare to be transported."
Zhao Xing immediately stood up and saluted.
Chen Jiu did not respond, but began to count down mechanically: "Ten, nine, eight..."
Then, starlight began to emerge from the ceiling above, and soon filled the entire teleportation hall.
The magic circle is the Star-Moving and Vein-Setting Magic Circle. Zhao Xing had experienced it once when he was on an operation with the Spark Team, so he was not unfamiliar with it.
When the countdown ended, Zhao Xing's vision was filled with white light.
The next moment, he felt the attraction of the earth veins change.
"Boom~"
Zhao Xing almost subconsciously opened the dojo and the origin projection, and at the same time displayed the treasure mountain magic power, raising his height to the limit of the "five poles".
After a hundred years of training, this is completely a subconscious fighting instinct.
Because of this, Zhao Xing’s vision was restored immediately.
"Spirit index 2.5, chaos index is below average, no enemies around."
After confirming this, Zhao Xing immediately took out the star mirror to check the content of the third round of assessment.
[Zhao Xing from the Beihe Galaxy, you have entered the 99th initial star land of the Ten Thousand Demons Star Land.]
[The number of plant life on the initial star land is unknown, and the level does not exceed the Yin-Yang Dao realm. ]
[The Ten Thousand Demons Star Realm has three demon areas: low, medium, and high. And in three years, the demons and "hostages" will be released. ]
[After the launch, only the demons of the minor supernatural realm were left on the low-level star lands]
[Only the medium-sized star land has the Great Divine Power Realm demon race. ]
[The Dao Realm demon race will appear in the higher-level star lands, with the highest level being the Yin-Yang Dao Realm. 】
[All hostages are citizens of the Red Star Empire, and are fragile 'mortals'. ]
[Warning. Every player's initial position is in a low-level star land. If you are not strong enough, please do not fly to a higher-level star land, so as not to be killed in the original world! If you force yourself to go there, you will bear the consequences at your own risk.]
[You will get points for hunting down monsters and rescuing their members. ]
【小神通境1-100点,大神通境1000-1万点,五行道域境1万点-100万点,阴阳道域境恒定1亿点。】
[Hostage: 10 points/person. If the hostage dies, 100 points will be deducted.]
[The top 15 players on the points list will enter the final assessment. ]
[The third round of assessment lasted for thirty-three years.]
After reading the assessment content, Zhao Xing nodded slightly: "It seems that there is no change."
Just like in the previous life, the theme of the third round of the ego-based combat orientation is: hunting and saving.
Hunting monsters is easy to understand. It tests combat capability, but also brings up the possibility of death. This way, the players' mentality is completely different.
If it is confirmed to be absolutely safe, most geniuses will be able to demonstrate their full potential.
If it is not absolutely safe, it will bring psychological pressure and will restrict your actions.
Zhao Xing could also understand saving the hostages.
There are many types of combat-type Si Nong, some are good at breaking the magic circle to save people, such as Xilin who is good at life magic circle. Killing the enemy head-on is just a simple comparison of killing monsters, so she is of course at a disadvantage.
But does that mean she is not a combatant? Of course she is! She is not an auxiliary, she is also capable of fighting. If a war is launched in the future, she will also go to the front line battlefield instead of hiding in the back to do logistics.
Some places prohibit magic arrays and repel mechanical Taoist soldiers, but Si Nong like Xilin who controls plant soldiers to break magic arrays can have miraculous effects.
Another point is that rescuing hostages is also a test.
A combat-type Si Nong cannot just know how to kill people, he must also have the mentality of saving people.
The egoists have strange tempers and often experiment with their lives, which tends to make them perverted.
Adding such a test to the selection process is to remind everyone from the root not to lose themselves in killing.
The hostages were specifically pointed out as 'citizens of the Red Star Empire'. If they didn't even want to save the citizens of the Empire, what else could we expect?
What’s the point of the primordial world cultivating an evil strongman?
Regardless of whether doing so can serve as a reminder, it is an attitude. Call it political correctness or a show, this is the rule.
"The performance in the third round is also related to the final stage of becoming a disciple." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Some geniuses have high scores, but they saved too few hostages, and even lost some points because of the 'hostages'. As a result, some Si Nong masters refused to become disciples of some geniuses."
"There are also some who are disliked because they save too many people, but they are a minority after all."
Zhao Xing pondered, "We have to strike a balance and not appear too stupid. If we delay things because of saving people, that would be putting the cart before the horse. It's useless to get praise from everyone. This is an assessment after all."
Putting himself in his shoes, Zhao Xing didn't want the disciple he accepted to be evil, and of course he didn't want him to be a pushover.
"It seems I need to find more plant soldiers to subdue." Zhao Xing began to activate the soul's vision and expand the scanning range.
Since it is called the Land of Ten Thousand Demons, there must be many types of demons, and not only do we have to kill demons, we also have to save people.
A single approach cannot cope with such a complex environment.
You have to be as prepared as possible.
The ego faction must have the ability to face all complex situations!
"Collect plant troops!"
hum~
Zhao Xing immediately turned into a rainbow light, cutting through the night sky and quickly collecting things on the Initial Star Land.
"The number of plants in the Initial Star Land is unknown, and the highest level will not exceed the Yin-Yang Dao Realm. In other words, the collection of the Initial Star Land will determine the subsequent results."
"Of course, I can return to the original star land as many times as I want. I don't have to start killing monsters every three years."
"Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. We must first prepare to conquer the troops."
At this time, the points ranking list is not displayed in the Star Mirror, because it will not be opened until three years later, when the hostages and monsters will arrive.
The initial star land is also very dangerous. After all, there are Dao Realm plants here, so Zhao Xing did not dare to fly too fast.
"The initial stage of the Star Continent can create a gap between geniuses."
"I have to fly carefully, but if it's a genius like Du Yun, he can just walk sideways across the entire Initial Star Continent."
"The third level is a comprehensive test. It is much more difficult to stand out than the second level."
"There are so many derivative species here. I've flown 1 million miles, but I can't name % of them. I don't even recognize them."
We have no idea what the derived species will look like when hybridized, so they naturally won't appear in books.
"Shu~"
Zhao Xing stopped.
"It's definitely not possible to just search randomly. It's too inefficient."
"Original projection, the void of the three realms!"
"Om~"
Zhao Xing shouted softly, and the projection of the origin space suddenly unfolded.
But no shadow appeared on the ground, and nothing seemed to have changed around.
In fact, the projection of the original element has penetrated deep into the multiple voids.
"The Three Realms of Emptiness is a kind of world law of the Self School."
"I have already mastered the magical power to perfection."
"The projection is rooted in the void, and it is more concealed when it is spread out. It can even float up from the deep void and deep earth veins to counterattack the enemy's original projection."
The void is multi-layered. After learning the Three Realms Void, the projection can even be deployed in the 'void turbulence'. In the past, when Zhao Xing fell into the void turbulence, it was impossible to deploy. For example, in the legend world, even if the original body was there, it was impossible to deploy the original projection and summon the plant soldiers to save his life.
It is different now. This method of the Self Sect is highly adaptable to adverse environments and can be used even in a highly chaotic environment like the Yueluo Cemetery.
"Om~"
The world's laws are often combined with the Taoist temple, and Zhao Xing's current Taoist temple is the ninth level of Taiyin!
According to the standards of the magic path, a Taiyin-level dojo is already the standard configuration of the Five Elements Dao Realm. The ninth level is the high configuration of the Five Elements Dao Realm.
"Wow~"
"Chirp~"
"Goo~~"
Countless voices flowed into Zhao Xing's mind.
That is the life rhythm of plants!
"Any life is itself a manifestation of the Way of Life. Listen to the rhythm of the Way of Life and use it to judge the type of life."
"During these hundred years, I finally grasped a trace of the 'Great Way of Life' - [Rhythm of Life]."
Through the rhythm of life, Zhao Xing quickly identified the major categories of plant life.
The first plants found were those of the mushroom family.
"The life rhythm of this mushroom species is different from other species. I am very familiar with it. I have been cultivating mushrooms for a long time and it is not in vain."
Zhao Xing quickly flew to an area full of mushrooms.
"Hey guys, your Mushroom King is back, hahahaha."
Although the many mushroom species in front of him were strange in shape, Zhao Xing felt they were very familiar.
"They are all third-level mushroom species."
In the initial star continent, the geniuses are all at the third realm, so the primordial world certainly would not prepare plants of the first or second realm.
"It has self-awareness, but it's very chaotic, as if it was deliberately processed." Zhao Xing sensed it and started to pick it hard.
"Om~"
Zhao Xing restrained his breath and began to wrap the soil with the Three Realms Void, but these third-level mushrooms did not stimulate any "instinctive resistance" at all.
"The Three Realms Void is really useful."
"It was like an invisible shovel that quietly dug into the soil and uprooted everything."
“By the time plant life reacts, it’s already too late.”
"rise!"
shuh~
A vast piece of land, along with the mushrooms on it, was taken away by him.
“Boom! Bang!”
After being taken into the original space, consciousness began to invade and still caused resistance.
However, under the erosion of the Mind Bell and the Killing Mind Blade, these mushroom species were quickly dealt with.
"1549 mushrooms, 23 exploded and 8 were destroyed. This success rate is not bad."
The efficiency was also very high. Including the journey, it only took five days.
"Keep picking!"
Since most of the species here are derivatives, Zhao Xing doesn't want to look at their properties one by one.
In short, they are all destined to become samples.
Only the mushrooms that you have trained yourself are good mushrooms.
"The sample is large enough, and I can use my Qi Yuan Divine Ability to poke around and finally find a few of the Great Divine Ability Realm ones."
"But this time we have to fight a protracted war. We can't just blow ourselves up. We also have to save people, so we have to be more diversified."
Zhao Xing flew away immediately, looking for the next location.
However, he had been flying for less than half a day when suddenly a consciousness reached Zhao Xing's ears.
"Get out of here now, you've entered my territory! Otherwise you'll be eliminated immediately!"
Zhao Xing turned his head and saw that not far away there was an unknown big tree in the realm of minor magical powers making the sound.
"What are you looking at? Get out of here and don't disturb my sleep!"
Zhao Xing smiled and left immediately.
Not long after, another petal like that of a carnivorous plant opened, revealing the shadow of a graceful and stunningly beautiful woman.
"Young man passing by, come and play, I promise to let you enjoy the ultimate happiness in the world, ah~~"
Zhao Xing turned a deaf ear and continued flying towards his destination.
"Hey, have you heard? The lord of the Hutaya system had an affair with his sister. Half of the current prince heirs are the result of an affair."
"Hey, what about the other half?"
"The other half is even more outrageous. It is said that..."
Zhao Xing snorted coldly and continued walking forward.
"Fire! Fire! I'm on fire!"
A large tree with its leaves ablaze shook itself about, its branches flapping against itself, and the fire grew larger and larger.
"Young man, please save me. I am willing to help you get through the third round!"
"Don't go, I'm in the Dao Realm, and I know the loopholes to pass the level!"
……
"Have you ever heard that clang-clang-clang song?"
"Which one?"
“It’s just clang clang clang…”
……
As soon as Zhao Xing entered the forest area, the entire silent night sky seemed to become lively.
The primordial world is set on the plant life of the initial star continent, which will implant consciousness into some crappy trees.
They are intentionally made into derivative species, and there are also means to make it impossible to distinguish their grades.
Some are playing pitiful, some are foul-mouthed, some are being abstract...
There is no other purpose, just to waste the players' time.
How could Zhao Xing fall for such a trick?
With the panel, he could tell at a glance whether it was a powerful plant or not.
This is the benefit of cheating!
"The Si Nong who set up those tests for me racked his brains to interfere with the contestants. If I can stay longer in the future, I'm afraid I will have to take on such tasks."
“It’s torture…”
There was a buzzing sound in Zhao Xing's ears, and he felt annoyed after listening to it for a long time.
Because some of them have illusion attacks, although they can't hurt yourself, they are very detrimental to one's mentality.
"Fellow……"
Suddenly another voice shouted.
This time Zhao Xing stopped.
"Sanyang Qingmu?" Zhao Xing looked forward.
There is a big tree there that exudes green and gold colors.
"Yes, fellow Taoist, you have good eyesight." An old voice came from the big tree.
"Great Divine Ability Realm trees, very good." Zhao Xing's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "can be used as materials for the Giant Sun clone."
"Please lend me some materials!"
“Big big big!!”
Zhao Xing immediately grew larger, reaching the 'triple pole' size.
Afterwards, he used his precious light magical power, grabbed with his big hand, and used the Five Finger Mountain magical power towards Sanyang Qingmu.
Sanyang Qingmu: "Wait a minute, fellow Daoist, I didn't say I wouldn't lend it to you... Bang!"
However, before it could continue speaking, a Five Finger Mountain came crashing down.
"Boom~" The cyan-colored tree formed a barrier to resist, but was still shaken off by a large number of cyan-colored leaves and branches.
"Bang bang bang!" The frequency of the impact increased.
There were bursts of precious light, as if fireworks were being set off in the dark night.
"Fellow Daoist, stop it! I want to borrow it!" An angry voice came from Sanyang Qingmu's body.
What's wrong with this guy? He said he borrowed it, so why did he still do that?
However, Zhao Xing had already activated his great supernatural powers, so why would he care about so many things?
He said he was borrowing, but actually he just wanted to take them all.
The heartwood, leaves, branches and roots of the Sanyang Green Tree are all good substitutes for the Giant Yang clone.
He was really worried that he didn't have the materials to create a clone, and now it came to him.
"Killing Mind Blade!"
Knives appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes and invaded Sanyang Qingmu's body, grinding away his consciousness.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Zhao Xing attacked again and again, and at the same time used the killing blade to affect Sanyang Qingmu's consciousness.
"Fuck your ancestors! You are a crooked and inferior creature, you will be punished by God..." Sanyang Qingmu roared.
"His mouth stinks. I wonder which Si Nong implanted this consciousness into him." Zhao Xing thought.
Sanyang Qingmu, who is in the realm of great supernatural powers, has a strong sense of resistance, and it is usually difficult to subdue such a person.
Its attack power is average, but its defense is good. Zhao Xing would rather collect it than tame it.
"Grass--"
As the last swear word was uttered, Sanyang Qingmu was finally captured by Zhao Xing.
"Kacha!"
Zhao Xing quickly pushed down the Sanyang green tree, dug out its heartwood, and packed it together with the leaves, branches, and roots.
"He has a small skill, but he still dares to do the same thing."
Zhao Xing packed up the materials and immediately started looking for the next suitable target.
……
Half a month later, next to a cold pond under a huge waterfall.
"rise!"
Zhao Xing stretched out his hand and pulled out a black vine that looked like a flying snake from the cold pond.
"Hey!"
With tremendous force applied to his body, golden and green light intertwined on his body, and the vine was pulled out forcibly.
"Very good. This Boundary Thorn Vine has already reached its peak stage. The thorns produced by its main vine can be used as a tool to break the formation."
The straw man clone, dragging long vines, soared into the sky and flew towards the original body.
……
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was three years later.
PS: My good brother's father passed away. I have to drive to attend the funeral tomorrow. Since I have to travel overnight, I will write 6,000 words first. I will write more tomorrow. My uncle passed away when he was only in his 50s. Every year when I went to his house to eat and sleep, he was always smiling. He was a good elder. It wasn't a terminal illness. Life is so unpredictable. Alas.
