Chapter 132 Assessment Rules

More than half a month later, on the eve of the college's mid-level student assessment competition, the students who had been practicing hard for a long time gathered together, eager to show their talents in this assessment.

This assessment was divided into four major areas, each of which was further divided into two hundred venues, and then into the following stages.

The first stage, the chaotic battle, is also the stage with the most eliminations. It can be described as a process of weeding out the weak. Each venue is assigned a number of students, and the number of students in each venue is completely randomized. Based on this, all students engage in a chaotic battle.

You can cooperate, or you can be a lone wolf.

No matter what method you use to play, there can only be a maximum of five people left on the field, and these five people will be promoted.

After the first stage, only one thousand people remained to advance to the next stage of the assessment.

In the second stage, the two-person cooperation phase, students will be randomly assigned to pairs to compete against other partners.

If you win, you continue the battle.

If you lose, you are eliminated.

The number of matches is not fixed, and each group has two chances to fail. In other words, only after failing a third time will they truly lose their eligibility for the assessment.

If you win, you continue playing until only one hundred groups remain in all the assessment groups, which is to say, only two hundred people.

It's worth mentioning that students who participated in the second round, even if they lost, would receive a gift prepared by the college, also known as a consolation prize.

Secondly, in the entire second stage of the assessment, one can only use five pills or magical artifacts that restore one's own abilities or similar abilities.

If the device is tested more than five times, it is considered a failure.

The winner of the second round will receive an additional reward from the academy if they do not use any of their failed attempts.

Next, the remaining two hundred people will directly have the opportunity to pass the assessment and become advanced students of the academy. They will also become the core of this assessment and start the final battle that everyone is looking forward to.

There are no fancy tricks, just a battle of strength and wisdom. It's a two-on-one fight, the winner takes all, the loser eats dust. The top ten will receive the grand prize prepared by the academy, and the top five and the first place will receive even more and the most.

Putting down the assessment criteria issued by the academy, Lu Yunshi sighed softly.

"Such a long process, it's giving me a headache."

"It's bound to be long, otherwise with so many people, how long would it take to fight them one by one?" Old Liu sighed as he spoke.

"However, with these rules, not all of our people might be able to make it to the third stage."

"It's alright. Based on your previous assessment of their strength, at least 80% of them should be able to enter the second stage. Being able to participate in both the first and second stages is enough."

As soon as Lu Yunshi finished speaking, he noticed that Lao Liu and the others looked somewhat excited, which puzzled him.

"Why do you all seem so eager?"

"Of course we can't wait!" The seventh brother squeezed in, his face beaming with undisguised joy. "We're going to artificially influence the academy's assessment. If we can do it, we'll not only be among the top students, but we'll also achieve what no one has ever done before."

"That's an exaggeration. It's just a little manipulation, and it's all within the rules. Don't make it sound like we're some kind of villain pulling strings behind the scenes. That's bad luck." Lu Yunshi waved his hand, clearly not understanding what the other person was so excited about.

"Hey boss, which region are you in? The assessment is about to start, but the academy hasn't said anything." Li Hongying suddenly leaned over and asked nervously.

After a period of arduous cultivation, Li Hongying's cultivation progressed rapidly. She is now at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, with abundant energy. It seems that she is not far from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Her teacher seems to have taught her very well.

"I don't know. Didn't the academy say it would appear in their rulebook? It should be soon."

As soon as Lu Yunshi finished speaking, a rune appeared on the rulebook in his hand. The rune condensed and finally turned into a stone tablet that floated in mid-air.

"Oh, it's out." Holding the stone tablet in his hand, Lu Yunshi looked at it; it had the character "three" on it.

"What number are you?" Li Hongying asked anxiously as she approached.

"I am number three." Xiao He, who hadn't spoken until now, smiled and revealed the number on the stone tablet.

"What a coincidence, me too." Lu Yunshi smiled and flipped the stone tablet, revealing numbers as well. The two smiled at each other.

"Looks like you'll have to rely on me for this first step, big brother," Xiao He said with a smirk, feigning arrogance.

"Oh?" Lu Yunshi shrugged. "Yeah, what can I do? I'm your older brother, so the second brother has to stand in front of me, right?"

"Hmm~~~" Seeing the 'three' in the two men's hands, Li Hongying pursed her lips and looked at the 'four' in her own hand, her expression indignant, her little mouth pouting but unable to speak.

Suddenly, Li Hongying's eyes lit up. She walked up to Xiao He, snatched his stone tablet while he looked on with a puzzled expression, and quickly shoved her own stone tablet in his place.

"Eh? Fifth Sister, what's this...?" Xiao He stared blankly for a moment, not quite understanding what was happening, as he looked at his stone tablet that had been replaced.

Li Hongying ignored Xiao He completely and quickly went to Lu Yunshi.

"Wow~ Boss, it's really fate that you and I are taking the assessment in the same area." Li Hongying chuckled and hugged Lu Yunshi's hand.

"Boss, you have to protect me."

"Um... Fifth Sister, speaking of fate, the heavens would be angry if they saw your fate." Before Lu Yunshi could say anything, Xiao He said with a wry smile.

"Shut up! My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. I earned this relationship through my own abilities, so why should the heavens be angry? Boss, you agree, right?" Li Hongying turned around and scolded angrily. Then, when she looked at Lu Yun, she instantly changed to a docile expression waiting for praise. She had mastered the art of face-swapping to an impressive degree.

"Yes, you're absolutely right." What could Lu Yunshi do but agree? "Fifth Sister is getting better and better. She's even saying she's taking control of her own destiny. Keep up the good work!"

"Uh-huh."

Li Hongying wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that her body was out of control. Then, a flash of white light appeared, and Lu Yunshi, Li Hongying, Xiao He, and Hong Yi disappeared from the sight of the sixth and seventh brothers.

Upon seeing this, the two exchanged a glance, knowing that the assessment had officially begun. They then walked out and looked at the five huge light screens directly above the academy, where the academy's students were standing.

"We can only watch from here, it's really not used to." Old Seven clicked his tongue, he also wanted to fight alongside Lu Yunshi.

"What's there to be uncomfortable about? Our battle is over. The rest is up to the boss and the others. We'll just watch." The sixth brother smiled slightly, not taking it to heart at all.
