C263 large wooden stake (1/2)
Chang Jing saw that the group of people who had no choice but to jump up were about to collide with the big wooden stake, and became anxious. To hit something at such a fast speed was quite impressive. If one wasn't seriously injured, they would at least be knocked to the ground – this way, so many people wouldn't be able to reach the designated location within the specified time!
A water attribute Primary Magic ”Profound Ice Arrow” followed the energy palm and flew out, spinning like an iron drill as it charged towards the large wooden stake. In the blink of an eye, it drilled through the air and turned into a cloud of dust, falling onto the two people's faces!
He didn't know how to respond to these people's actions, so he could only remind them, ”Everyone, take care of yourselves!”
After he had finished speaking, he shot forward like a swift arrow, followed by a large group of people who had just escaped danger.
He, who was flying at the front of the group, squinted his eyes at the people behind him. Although they were fast, they were still able to maintain a distance from him unintentionally — Who asked him to be the general of the Left Vanguard, who would dare to be ahead of him!
He thought that if he were to run to the front of the group again, it would definitely attract the attention of the higher ups of the Erde. Thus, he straightened his body, jumped onto a huge ancient tree, and disappeared from everyone's line of sight.
Seeing that he wasn't around, the crowd, who had been holding their breath for a long time, sped up again. It was about time for them to ”burst” after saving for so long.
Although everyone's speed was very fast and was estimated to reach within the specified time, the quota was still limited. If they didn't get to the place first in front of everyone, then all their hard work would be for naught. Now that the first person that was framed by their comrades was left behind, he unwillingly took out a concealed weapon and threw it at a sandbag in front of him.
When the sandbag was broken, the sand inside would fall down, and the people under it would be unable to see the way clearly, while the victim could not hold back his anger anymore and smacked at him with his palm …
With all these, a small test like this exposed all of their weaknesses, such as greed, distrust, and such as them who had undergone strict military training. Chang Jing, who was standing still among the tree branches, was extremely shocked.
If they sent this kind of team to war, as long as the other side resorted to some underhanded tactics, the entire army would collapse on its own! They had originally wanted to train them into a special army that was strong enough to fend off hundreds of enemies in one go, but now it seemed like it would be difficult to do so.
As he thought of this, his confidence in them began to waver. However, after seeing that one person had fallen into a trap, everyone stopped helping him and he regained his confidence!
”They are all good youths. Their only weakness should be that they are too young!”
The test ended in a nervous and quick manner. Even Chang Jingye, who was in second place, had, without any surprises, two people who passed the test. The one who was running in front was a young man with a weak appearance, one of the kind who would blush when talking, called Yu Feng.
”Well done!” The old man looked at the hourglass and nodded with a smile. ”I should be happy with this result. Back then, my disciple, the person you guys scolded, worked so hard to run away with only an hourglass. How could he compare to you youngsters?”
Chang Jing smiled and nodded to express her thanks, then asked him, ”Then, old grandpa, can it be said that we have already officially stepped into the Guardian Hall?”
No matter how one looked at it, the ”worship hall” sounded like a place an old man should stay. Now, after being asked this question by a young man, the old man started to feel a little confused.
”Mm, sort of!” ”However, you still need to spar with others in the early stages of the Martial Arts Competition. Firstly, you can increase your combat experience, and secondly, you can use this to increase your cultivation, and thirdly, as mentioned earlier, there is a limit to the number of people at each level. If you want to stay here for a long period of time, you'll have to accept the tests and challenges from senior members!”
So troublesome? Chang Jing thought.
He looked at Chang Jing who seemed to be deep in thought, and continued, ”Don't be afraid, what should come will eventually come. The entrance ceremony will be held in a few days. At that time, your contacts will let you know! ”
The group of people bid their farewells under Chang Jing's lead, and just happened to meet the completed assessment of the magic army at the door!
”Awesome!”
Unexpectedly, the first person who ran towards Chang Jing was not Huo Wu but Yin Man. She hugged Chang Jing with an extremely exaggerated smile, and said excitedly, ”Did you know, seven of us were chosen! Seven! ”
”Oh?” Chang Jing was also a little surprised, he had originally thought that one or two of the disciples entering the competition would be considered good, but she never thought that other than the four students, there would be three other disciples entering the selection.
”Hehe, it's all thanks to everyone!” Yin Man was extremely happy when she thought about how she would not have to be angry at her superior in the near future, ”Then what about you guys, how many people were chosen?”
”Two!” Chang Jing laughed and replied, ”Including me, there are two of them!”
