Chapter 31 Assessment Objectives
in the afternoon.
The massive Air Force group continues to ascend to Longyutai.
This marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Air Force.
Xiao Weiqing decided to observe first and did not cast his fishing line immediately. Although he had enough spiritual energy, he did not have enough to waste, so he would save it as much as possible.
Zhang Dawei was in the same situation, but he was recovering his spiritual energy. The battle with the dragon fish in the morning had almost depleted his spiritual energy, and he hadn't recovered yet.
An hour passed.
The surface of the river gradually began to change.
Larger dragonfish kept rolling on the surface of the river, creating waves that made the trainees on the dragonfish platform itch to pull them up immediately.
Little did they know, this was all done intentionally by the arowana.
Once the river calmed down and the dragonfish disappeared, most people's fishing hooks were empty.
All the trainees were dumbfounded. This was not what they had imagined. Didn't they think that by changing to a 15-meter fishing rod, they could catch big fish that were more than three feet long?
That's what everyone's saying on the forum.
Xiao Weiqing seized the opportunity and cast his fishing line.
At this point, the larger dragonfish already knew that the buffet providers from yesterday seemed to be back at work. Since they were all spiritual energy, why not take advantage of the freebies?
Time passed slowly.
Several dragonfish, some even four feet long, hovered around Xiao Weiqing's hook, but Xiao Weiqing wouldn't let them get close.
No matter what methods the dragonfish used, as soon as they got close, Xiao Weiqing would lift his fishing rod.
Now that the roles have reversed, Xiao Weiqing wants to tell these larger dragonfish that they definitely won't get any spiritual energy from him and would better leave as soon as possible.
as predicted.
Half an hour later.
Seeing that there was no chance, the larger arowanas gradually left, none of them lingering.
This is the result Xiao Weiqing wanted, and it's also what other smaller arowanas wanted to see.
Even though the smaller arowanas knew that Xiao Weiqing's food was difficult to chew, they were still willing to try because there was no other place for them.
A while later.
Xiao Weiqing had gathered seven or eight dragonfish, most of which were less than three feet long.
However, Xiao Weiqing was not in a hurry. Even though the spiritual energy ball was being eaten, he did not care. Xiao Weiqing casually picked up the fishing rod, added spiritual energy to the rod, and then cast the line.
"Brother Qing, why don't you pull the dragonfish up?"
Zhang Dawei asked curiously, as he had seen the dragonfish bite the hook more than once, and with Xiao Weiqing's abilities, it would be easy to pull it up.
"Dawei, the dragonfish, as a type of mythical beast raised by Luojiang Academy, is not only valuable but also quite intelligent. We cannot underestimate them."
"If I pull up one of the arowanas now, the other arowanas that just gathered here will probably scatter and never come back."
Zhang Dawei's eyes gradually brightened. "I understand. You want the dragonfish to know that you're a newbie and easy to bully, so that all the dragonfish will come to you. That way, when you pull up a dragonfish later, it will only think you're lucky and won't run away."
"That's right, let most of the small dragonfish eat the spiritual energy, and when the dragonfish that are about three feet long come, that's my goal."
"I see, I understand now, Brother Qing, you're really amazing."
Xiao Weiqing said, "You can try it too, but you don't have much spiritual energy, so you have to be careful to ensure a high success rate. Catching one or two a day is still quite easy."
Twenty minutes later.
A dragonfish, about three feet long, swam over the surface of the river and approached Xiao Weiqing. The spiritual energy emanating from the area attracted him.
Seeing that even the weaker dragonfish could eat Xiao Weiqing's spiritual energy, it was immediately filled with anger.
Am I so bad at fighting against those who are only two feet tall, that I can't even compete with those who are only four feet tall?
Then, with a flick of its tail, a wave drove away the arowanas, which were far smaller than it.
Then, without waiting, he took a bite, only to find that Xiao Weiqing had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Finally here, let's go!"
With a sudden burst of strength, the rod was lifted swiftly, the fishing line instantly tightened, and the rod bent into an astonishing arc.
Xiao Weiqing hadn't caught a single dragonfish today, but he was full of energy, so he used brute force to drag the dragonfish onto the dragonfish platform.
"In Zone C-4, at the Dragon Fish Platform No. 1122, there is one dragon fish, measuring 3 feet 2 inches in length. You have earned 120 points."
"Not bad, keep going, try to do one more, and exceed the target for today."
"Brother Qing, that's awesome! I'll give it a try too."
Seeing the results of Xiao Weiqing's practical application, Zhang Dawei immediately gained confidence and prepared to learn from Xiao Weiqing.
Xiao Weiqing also felt that his idea was correct.
"Wei Lan, you can give it a try too. You have more spiritual energy than Dawei, so catching two or three a day shouldn't be a problem."
"Okay, sure."
west.
The sun is about to set.
Xiao Weiqing acquired another three-foot-three-inch dragonfish.
Zhang Dawei finally pulled up a two-foot-seven-inch dragonfish, worth nearly 100 points. After deducting the cost of today's fishing rod, he still made a profit.
Wei Lan, after much effort, finally caught a three-foot-five-inch dragonfish and was overjoyed.
All three of them had a decent day, much better than most.
You should know that in the afternoon, Xiao Weiqing glanced at the group chat and saw a chorus of groans.
Contrary to expectations, the 15-meter fishing rods only caused them to deplete their spiritual energy faster.
All the Level 3 'Martial Arts' students were wiped out, and the Level 3 'Spiritual Arts' students fared much worse. Only the Level 3 'Technique' students managed to break even, so they wouldn't have to feed the dragon fish again tomorrow. Very few students actually earned any points, and even fewer earned more than 100 points.
Everyone truly felt how difficult it was to obtain 1000 points and enter the Upper House.
The sun sets in the west.
The second day of the Dragon Fish Terrace assessment has now concluded.
After returning to the university, Xiao Weiqing summarized his experiences and thoughts and posted them in the group.
"I love you, Qing-ge."
"This is so timely! I'm so weak right now, I was about to give up, but now I have the confidence to fight the dragonfish again."
"That's right, I video-chatted with my family at noon, and they all thought I was on drugs..."
"Trust Brother Qing, you can't go wrong."
Zhang Dawei posted a photo of his arowana in the group chat.
"Trust Brother Qing, you can't go wrong."
Wei Lan also posted a selfie; the dragonfish in the picture is the largest one to have appeared in the group so far.
"sharp!"
Everyone gasped in surprise, not expecting that Wei Lan, despite his young age, possessed such strength.
With the idea that "if you can do it, so can I," everyone was eager to go to Longyutai right now and avenge their previous defeat.
however.
Xiao Weiqing's next words poured cold water on everyone's enthusiasm.
"Today is the second day of the assessment. What are everyone's goals?"
"Are you aiming for the Upper Court, the Middle Court, or just to earn some points?"
"The assessment lasts for 7 days. Only by clearly defining your goals can you make detailed plans, make choices, and achieve the best results."
"According to the senior, you need more than 1000 points to be considered safe to enter the upper academy. Let's assume that 1000 points is enough. I estimate that no more than 3 people in this group can get 1000 points."
"To put it bluntly, most people are destined for the lower house. Rather than ending up with neither a spot nor points, it's better to play it safe and earn more points. Even if you end up in the lower house, you'll have a higher starting point than others. With a little more effort, it's not impossible to get into the middle house."
Xiao Weiqing continued, "For many people, this assessment is less a test of their strength and more a test of their character."
"Fishing for dragonfish is like gambling. You use your own spiritual energy as bait and gamble that you can catch a dragonfish. But we are all novices. Those dragonfish have been outsmarting the senior students for years. We are no match for them at all."
"Once the spiritual energy is exhausted and there are no points left, you have to feed the fish fry to earn points, rent a fishing rod to catch dragonfish, and then exhaust the spiritual energy again, entering a vicious cycle, and there is basically no hope."
Xiao Weiqing's words made everyone fall into deep thought, but it was the truth.
Many people in the group said they gained nothing today and would have to feed the arowanas again tomorrow morning, which is the beginning of a vicious cycle.
