Destiny Rekindled

Chapter 87: Not forced, but encouraged (3/10 please subscribe!)

Ji Huai had already anticipated the students' reactions.

He stood there with his arms folded across his chest, an expression that said, "I'll see when you guys will quiet down."

The students gradually realized that Demon King Ji was right in front of them and soon quieted down again.

"This actual combat assessment is indeed more dangerous than the last one." Ji Huai said slowly, "The monsters you faced last time were of average strength. Except for the tenth group who unexpectedly encountered an advanced monster, the tasks of the other groups were very easy."

"But this time, I will tell you clearly that there are advanced monsters in Qingwang Mountain, and there are more than one."

"The Special Affairs Group will still do its best to ensure your safety, but there is no guarantee that accidents and casualties will not occur. Therefore, just like last time, participation in the actual combat assessment is voluntary."

"But..." Ji Huai's voice dragged out slightly, "Before you make a final decision, I still need to explain the key information of this assessment clearly."

Apart from Ji Huai's voice, there was no other voice in the field.

Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear the key information of the assessment before making a decision.

"First of all, in this practical assessment, apprentice players and official players will be assessed separately." Ji Huai said slowly, "Apprentice players will still be randomly teamed up for the assessment, while official players will not team up and will take the practical assessment individually."

Hearing this, many people in the field couldn't help but look at Qin Chuan and Zhu Yuwei.

After all, they are the only two who have reached the official level in No. 2 Middle School.

Qin Chuan's expression was calm; he had already known this last night.

After a formal-level player upgrades his contracted spirit beast to Lv20, the gap in strength between him and a trainee-level player is indeed quite large, so it is not appropriate for them to act together.

If he were assigned a few trainee teammates, he would have to take care of the safety of other teammates while taking the assessment.

It’s better to fight alone.

Ji Huai's next words made the students in the queue couldn't help but whisper.

"Secondly, in addition to obtaining the corresponding practical assessment scores, participants in this practical assessment will also receive rewards based on their ranking in the assessment scores."

This time, Qin Chuan couldn't hide his surprise.

Because of this, Ji Huai did not tell him in advance.

There are rewards?

He immediately became interested.

Without making the students wait too long, Ji Huai immediately announced the ranking rewards.

"The rankings for apprentice players and official players are separated. The apprentice player who gets first place in this assessment will be rewarded with a low-level resource. You can choose any from the list provided by the Special Affairs Group."

"The first-place official player in this assessment will be rewarded with a piece of star-shaped equipment material. You can choose any from the list provided by the special affairs team."

"The remaining candidates will be awarded different amounts of experience gems according to their test scores."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.

For apprentice players, the most urgent need at the moment is naturally advancement.

For official-level players, the significance of star equipment materials is equally important.

As for experience gems, the more the better.

Even if you can't use it now, you will definitely need it after advancing, and it will definitely be in short supply when you need it.

Even a player like Qin Chuan, who is ranked first in the district, cannot immediately max out the second spirit beast in his contract after advancing. It can be imagined that it will be even more difficult to upgrade after reaching the elite level.

After Ji Huai announced the ranking rewards, even Qin Chuan couldn't help but breathe heavier.

Now he already has materials for four pieces of star equipment.

With a golden talent like the sundial, Qin Chuan would naturally not create star equipment easily. He wanted to collect nine pieces of star equipment materials and create star equipment with the strongest attributes.

Therefore, five pieces of star equipment materials are needed.

If he gets first place, he will be one step closer to this goal. A low-level resource is currently worth two or three hundred thousand, while a piece of star equipment material is worth millions!

Qin Chuan's eyes instantly became firm and sharp.

He has definitely taken first place!
"Now, you can consider whether to participate." Seeing the expressions he wanted on the students' faces, Ji Huai's eyes flashed a barely perceptible smile.

Is Qingwang Mountain dangerous?

Of course it's dangerous.

But the world is changing so much that no one can stay out of it.

The Yanhuang Country will do its utmost to protect the safety of every citizen, but when citizens themselves become stronger, the lives of more groups in need of protection can be preserved.

A group of people become strong first, so that everyone can become strong and like a dragon in the future.

The cultivation of the new generation is of paramount importance.

Before the dream world came, there was military training in high schools and universities.

Now that the dream world has arrived and the extraordinary is wreaking havoc across the globe, it’s time for the flowers in the greenhouse to breathe the bloody air.

It won't be forced, but it will be encouraged.

Those who stand out in one practical assessment after another will naturally receive extra care and training, which is a recognition of their courage and ability.

Half an hour passed quickly.

Perhaps the generous rewards inspired everyone's courage. When Ji Huai asked whether they wanted to participate, 80% of the students stood up, more than last time.

After announcing that everyone would gather on the playground at nine o'clock the next morning, Ji Huai signaled everyone to disperse.

Then, he walked towards Qin Chuan with two unsharpened knives.

The other students already knew that Ji Huai gave Qin Chuan special treatment every night.

After breaking through the official level, Zhu Yuwei took the initiative to find Ji Huai, hoping to stay and attend the class.

Ji Huai didn't object.

But after just one night, she gave up on her own.

For Zhu Yuwei, who comes from a wealthy family, there are too many ways to learn weapon skills and there is no need to make herself suffer.

Therefore, in the end, only Qin Chuan was able to enjoy Ji Huai's special meal.

Qin Chuan took the long knife and got ready without waiting for the other students to walk away.

Ji Huai's knife whizzed in the next moment, with the tip of the knife pointing directly at Qin Chuan's chest. Even without using any extraordinary abilities, this blow was enough to shatter the rock thanks to his strong physical fitness.

Qin Chuan's expression quickly tensed up. He clenched the long sword with both hands and suddenly moved to the side, slightly deflecting the attack while using the force to retreat to the other side, narrowly avoiding the sword.

The long sword that stabbed into the air suddenly turned, with the blade facing Qin Chuan, and it changed from a forward stab to a horizontal slash. Before the sword arrived, Qin Chuan had already felt the strong wind blowing in his face.

Although it has not been sharpened, the blade is still a blade. It is thinner than the back of the blade and has a smaller contact area. Naturally, the power is greater under the same slashing force.

"clang--"

Accompanied by a sound of metal, Qin Chuan grabbed the handle of the knife with one hand and pressed the front of the knife with the other hand. The moment he blocked the cut, he flew backwards two or three meters uncontrollably.

Before he could stand firm, Ji Huai rushed over calmly.

"Dang Dang Dang——"

Three more sounds rang out, and Qin Chuan was cut on the shoulder by a knife.

Although Ji Huai withdrew his strength in time and did not injure any bones, he was still grimacing in pain.

The students who had not yet left the playground cast sympathetic glances at them.
