Chapter 310: Damage Test (1/2)

Alex looked at the different people on the stage and saw that he recognized a few. He obviously recognized his senior sister as well as Wan Li and the other 2 participants of his own sect.

But he also saw Du Yuhan, as well as the guy his senior sister seemed to hate for some reason, Yang Ma. He tried searching for other people, but he couldn't recognize any of the other participants aside from their robes, which wasn't very helpful.

Just as he was looking at them, 3 Metal puppets appeared on the stage out of nowhere and stood there just waiting to get hit.

Fu Zhem walked to the puppets and said, ”I will now explain the rules of this competition.”

”The Damage test, as its name suggests, will be looking at your ability to deal damage to these puppets. The puppets have zero defense and no resistance, so you can attack without any worries,” Fu Zhen said.

3 screens appeared in the air above the puppets, as well as 3 others high in the air for the audience to see what was happening.

Each of the small screens was blank for now, while the screen in the air showed everything that was happening around the wooden puppets, including the smaller screen.

”Alright, this screen up here will show your damage on the wooden puppet,” Fu Zhen said as he flicked the head of the puppet.

<True Disciple - 5th realm>

The word appeared on the black screen. ”As you can see, this is my physical damage.”

Fu Zhen then moved to another puppet and flicked it, ”As you can see, the screen doesn't pop on this one. That's because this one only accepts elemental damage,” Fu Zhen said as he threw a small Qi attack towards it.

Suddenly, the screen lit up and it showed the words <True Master - 3rd Realm>

”Lastly, this is a special puppet as it only takes damage from mental attacks. Close your ears,” Fu Zhen said as he called for someone. A young female walked up and suddenly screamed.

The nearby people thankfully had their ears plugged, so didn't take any damage.

”As you can see, if you have a strong mental attack, you can use that here as well,” Fu Zhen said.

”I will call out your names one by one, please come forward and attack the puppet of your choice. You will get 3 attacks and may use any weapons. The top 256 people with the highest damage will move on to the next round.”

”First of all, From the Undying sect, Tian Hao. Please come forward,” Fu Zhen spoke.

A strong-looking young man walked out of the group and walked to the puppet that took physical damage.

”Alright, attack,” Fu Zhen said.

The man nodded and took out a blade from his storage bag. He took a deep breath and the blade started glowing red. He immediately dashed forward and swung the sword right at the chest of the puppet.

CLANG

There was not a single scratch on the puppet, but words did appear on the screen.
