Chapter 114 Hidden Assessment?
The voice just fell.
The mud and sand in front of the bridge rose up on their own without wind, gathering into three guardians.
"What kind of method is this?" Xue Cheng asked in surprise.
Before the three could think, the guards attacked.
Xiao Weiqing said, "Qin Tian will deal with that guard in armor."
"I'll deal with the water guards surrounding me."
"Leave the rest to Xue Cheng."
"Can."
"Let's do it!"
Xiao Weiqing and Qin Tian stepped forward and attacked their opponents.
Xue Cheng and the guard opposite him remained motionless, staring at each other, already exchanging blows—a clash of mental strength.
"Fire Owl!~"
Xiao Weiqing didn't test the waters; he went all out from the start, and with a single move, Fire Owl, he instantly blasted half of the guard's body off.
But the guard did not fall; he continued to charge towards Xiao Weiqing, his damaged body rapidly recovering by replenishing its strength through the earth.
"Then let's try this trick."
"Flame Sky!"
A terrifying beam of flame shot down, engulfing the guard silently. The guard was completely vaporized, leaving not a trace of mud behind.
Defeat the first guard.
Seeing that the other two hadn't finished yet, Xiao Weiqing walked forward, but when he reached the bridge, he found an invisible force blocking his way, preventing him from moving forward.
"Looks like we'll have to wait until the other two finish."
"Bang! Bang!~"
Qin Tian transformed into a giant and engaged the armored guard in a brutal battle, each blow sending a portion of the guard's body flying.
"The creation of heaven and earth!"
Boom~~
A powerful punch imbued with profound spiritual energy shattered the armored guards.
Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the guards were no longer recovering.
"He's really tough."
"Is Xue Cheng still not done?"
Xiao Weiqing shook his head. "No."
"Is the bridge safe to cross?"
"No, I just went there, and there was a force blocking it. All three of us need to get through."
Qin Tian said, "Then let's wait a bit. If Xue Cheng fails, we'll have to give him a good beating."
They should know that this assessment can only be taken once, and if Xue Cheng fails, they will suffer a great loss.
Xue Cheng at this moment.
Large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, clearly indicating that he was not having an easy time.
Another half minute passed.
Xue Cheng snorted coldly, a trickle of blood flowing from his nose, and the battle ended.
The guards on the opposite side seemed to weather away, vanishing with the wind.
"Damn it! I'm still the best, aren't I?"
Xue Cheng collapsed to the ground. Had he not broken through to the second realm, he would not have been a match for this guard.
Are you alright?
"It's nothing, my head just feels a little throbbing."
"Let's go then."
Xiao Weiqing and Qin Tian stepped onto the bridge, where no unknown force blocked their way. Xue Cheng wiped the blood from his nose and quickly followed.
The three arrived at the central island.
In front of a pavilion that looks quite old, there is a table with three boxes on it.
The three exchanged a glance, then hurriedly stepped forward, each picking up a box.
"The Void Fruit!" Qin Tian exclaimed in surprise.
The Void Fruit is a spiritual fruit that is very helpful for cultivating spiritual power.
"Dragon Blood Elixir"
Xue Cheng also opened his box; the name of the liquid inside was written on the bottle.
This liquid is the essence blood of the Xuan Di Long, a demonic beast from the Fifth Realm, and it has a remarkable effect on body tempering.
Each of these two items is worth no less than 2 points.
"Shall we switch?" Qin Tian asked.
"Um."
The two were satisfied with receiving the treasures that suited them, feeling that their trip had been worthwhile.
Then he looked at Xiao Weiqing.
Xiao Weiqing was also very much looking forward to it. He opened the box in his hand, which should have contained treasures suitable for his cultivation.
"grass?"
Even Xiao Weiqing couldn't help but swear, because his box was completely empty.
Bang!
Xiao Weiqing slammed the table down, shouting, "Where are my things?"
Qin Tian and Xue Cheng were both stunned. The senior students hadn't mentioned this situation before. Everyone who passed the test would receive cultivation resources, and this hadn't happened.
"this......"
"Xiao Weiqing, go back to the academy. Xue Cheng and I will compensate you with points. Don't get so angry," Qin Tian comforted him.
"That's right, young man, don't get so angry."
The unfamiliar voice startled the three of them.
"Who!~"
Upon hearing the unfamiliar voice, Xiao Weiqing immediately turned to look at the person who had entered.
The man was around 40 years old, dressed in gray, and had a gentle face.
"My name is Inui, and I'm considered the manager here."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiqing calmed down slightly and said, "Hello."
Xue Cheng whispered, "I know this plot well. We've triggered a hidden test."
Qin Tian nodded, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Xiao Weiqing didn't say anything, just looked at Qian Yi, thinking, "Whether it's a hidden assessment or not, the reward has to be mine."
Without wasting words, Qian Yi waved his hand, and a door appeared. "Your things are inside. If you pass the test, you can get even better things."
"And what about us?" Xue Cheng asked.
Upon hearing this...
Inui was a little confused. "What are you guys?"
Xue Cheng said, "We came together."
"Don't you know your own capabilities?"
"Be happy you got what you wanted. You should know that the assessment for this relic has always been for one person. It's just that this place has existed for so long that some of the settings and mechanisms have become disordered, which is why you managed to slip in as a group of three."
Qian Yi's attitude towards Xue Cheng and Qin Tian was completely different from his attitude towards Xiao Weiqing.
The implication was clear: Qin Tian and Xue Cheng were not qualified, so only Xiao Weiqing could participate in the next assessment.
Done.
With a dismissive wave of his hand, Qian Yi caused Qin Tian and Xue Cheng to disappear.
"What did you do to them?" Xiao Weiqing asked.
"Don't worry, we just let them out."
"How about it? Do you want to participate in the assessment?"
Xiao Weiqing asked, "What kind of test is it inside? Is there any danger to my life? And what will I get if I pass the test?"
Qian nodded. "Not bad, you didn't lose your composure when faced with an opportunity."
"There is a puppet with the strength of the third realm inside. You need to defeat it. The test is not life-threatening. If you pass the test, you will get something."
Xiao Weiqing then asked, "Why was I chosen? As far as I know, the people who entered this relic assessment are much stronger than me."
"No, you're wrong. In a life-or-death struggle, you are the strongest in the second realm. Furthermore, you are the youngest while being the strongest."
"Both are indispensable. If other people meet the requirements, the assessment will still be triggered."
"Any more questions?"
Xiao Weiqing shook his head. "No."
After saying that, he stepped inside. Since he was already there, he naturally had to see what it was like.
The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.
Xiao Weiqing was already in a martial arts arena.
Standing opposite him was a man named Qian Yi.
"Where's the puppet?"
"It's me," Inui said with a smile.
"?"
Xiao Weiqing was speechless. "Why didn't you just fight outside?"
Qian Yidao: "That's how the mechanism is set up. There's nothing I can do about it. This ruin is in a terrible state now, and there's not much left. Even I have to take on multiple roles."
"You say you're a puppet, but you don't seem like one." Inui's appearance and demeanor are more like a real person than a real person.
Qian Yidao: "There's no need to be so vigilant. All my behavioral logic has already been set up."
After saying that, Qianyi lifted his shirt to reveal the puppet's body.
"Are you ready?"
"It's coming."
