The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 119 — Entrance Examination of the Jade Wolf Sect (2)
After spending approximately seven minutes running at full speed through shady trees, they found a red tent interspersed with white. Lian Huanran suspected that it was the location of the assault test. No, more precisely it is certain because there is a sign ‘Show Attacks’ above the taper end of the red tent.
Lian Haocun, “Be careful.”
Lian Huanran nodded and took out an arrow, as well as Long Yuan, he took out his dagger. Then they walked side by side to the tent, Long Yuan facing back, Lian Huanran facing sideways, while Lian Haocun leisurely walked forward.
Lian Huanran, “..” Didn't Big Brother ask us to be careful? Why isn't Brother himself careful!?
The same was thought of by Long Yuan. And unexpectedly, an arrow suddenly shot out from the right side of Lian Haocun! Lian Haocun stepped back one step and caught the arrow as it shot past him.
Lian Huanran and Long Yuan, “ Alright...
Then someone's voice sounded from in front of Lian Haocun accompanied by the sound of applause, “Very good reflex.... By the way, you guys are the first group of participants to come here. Time, hm...., just six minutes? Though it should not be that fast, do you use cheating?”
Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and Long Yuan could feel the gaze of the man before them sharpen while saying the last sentence. But, naturally, Lian Haocun was not afraid at all of the tanned-haired foreign men before him. So, without the shaky feeling predicted by the haired man, Lian Haocun said, “We did not cheat.”
The brown-haired, blue-eyed man smiled and said, “Yes, yes. Then let me tell you the rules of the assault exam inside the tent. Please login..”
Lian Haocun and his group stepped inside the red-colored tent. The tent was quite spacious, there was a medium-sized circle in the middle of the tent, which Lian Haocun thought was an arena.
Then Lian Haocun scanned his surroundings and found a wooden board that had a clear engraving of writing, those were the rules for the assault test. There were also some small decorations to beautify the interior inside the tent as well as the seats that Long Yuan had expected, for the examiners to sit on.
The brown-haired man who was an assault test tester, said, “You can see the words on this board? But, since you are the first participants to arrive, I will give you the privilege. Let me explain, so the rules of the assault test are:
It is not permissible to use the power of the elements, techniques and movements learned. Only allowed to use weapons according to the expertise of each participant, examples, swords, spears, arrows and others.
If the participant managed to incise a wound on the examiner ten times, he would earn ten points. In essence, every successful wound incised on the examiner, was worth one point.
The test lasts for three minutes, if the participant fails to complete the exam, he will be immediately disqualified.
Testing takes place within the circle arena and if the participant or the examiner exits the arena one centimeter, the exam will be considered complete. Participants will be declared a failure, while if the examiner is out of the arena, the participant will get the maximum points, which is ten points.
Each participant can only try the assault exam once.
You better not try to break the rules.”
Lian Huanran asked, “This..., purely our expertise in our respective weapons?”
The brown-haired man, who was an assailant, nodded his head in agreement.
The examiner nodded and explained with a smile, “I won't attack you, just defend against your attacks. So take it easy..”
Despite being said like that, Long Yuan still felt complicated, however, he felt that this test would definitely be very easy to complete. The reason being, the examiners who would test them were not even the dragon race with the strongest defense among all races. Plus, his cultivation level was not even equivalent to Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran, he was only a Core Formation stage level.
Although it was enough to fight the participants with the Foundation Building stage, obviously the results would be different to fight against Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and Long Yuan hiding their true cultivation levels.
Testers, “Who wants to advance first?”
Lian Haocun stepped forward, the examiner smiled widely and said, “Give me my form scroll.”
Lian Haocun did not directly give the roll of the form, instead he stared intently at the examiner. After all, how could Lian Haocun be absolutely certain, that the man before her was not a participant either.
Of course, the brunettes understood Lian Haocun's concern, so he said, “Then give it to one of your group members only. In any case, holding a roll of forms in one hand while attacking me would definitely not be comfortable right?”
Lian Haocun gave the form scroll he grasped during the trip to Lian Huanran. Why not keep it in the storage ring? Because, the scroll of the form had already been cast a spell and could not be put into the storage ring. Of course, it was for the sake of not cheating in the competition.
Without hesitation, Lian Haocun entered the arena, as well as the examiner. The examiner smiled as he watched Lian Haocun's movements.
Both opponents entered the arena, meaning the test had already begun. Without any hesitation, Lian Haocun took out his black sword, Jianheng and darted towards the examiner who still looked very relaxed.
The examiner remained silent on the spot, as if waiting for Lian Haocun's attack. Surely, Lian Haocun did not use his full strength in his attacks, the article would be troublesome if his true cultivation level was known, so he limited his strength to Foundation Building stage 6.
Lian Haocun swung his black sword at an extremely fast speed. Even the vision of Lian Huanran and Long Yuan could barely keep up. The examiner was greatly shocked by Lian Haocun's attack which had an inhuman speed to his age and was late dodging! Immediately two scratches were incised on the body of the examiner.
The examiner still looked quite relaxed, even he smiled and said, “Two points. Congrats! I really didn't expect you to be so fast!”
Surely, Lian Haocun paid no heed to the examiner's nonsense. He immediately followed up with another attack! Unfortunately, this time the examiner was already more vigilant, Lian Haocun's attack was successfully averted by the examiner!
Lian Haocun was not too surprised, because he suppressed his cultivation level up to Foundation Building stage 6 and also slightly lowered his speed. However, he did not want to be too flashy and suspected by the examiners, even though his appearance alone was enough to attract the attention of many people.
The examiner smiled faintly which gave off an extremely mysterious impression, and again managed to dodge the attack from Lian Haocun with a very thin distance! Lian Haocun who did not intend to waste time, instantly unleashed two lightning-fast attacks! It looks like it was done simultaneously.
Two incisions shot towards the examiner. The examiner who was slightly cornered, sighed in his heart and crossed both hands! Instantly, there sounded a rather deafening clang of metal.
‘Easy tester is very confident, because the tester has metal elements!’ Inner Lian Huanran.
On the sidelines of holding back the barrage of Lian Haocun, the examiner still briefly asked, “Is that a technique?”
While throwing another attack, Lian Haocun replied, “No, the incision was created due to my skill in sword arts.”
‘Very confident and a bit cocky.’ Inner Examiner while showing a wide smile.
