Chapter 16 The third round of assessment
Moyun Ridge.

There is a mountain range more than ten miles away from Rising Sun City, with a length and width of nearly a hundred miles. The vegetation is densely covered in it, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. From time to time, you can hear the roar of wild beasts, which makes people tremble.

At the foot of a mountain in Moyunling, nearly a hundred people gathered here, and Luo Chen was among them.

Early this morning, when he arrived at the square, he was brought here by people from the Royal Academy.

"The location of your third round of assessment is in Moyun Ridge."

The old man with a goatee on the chin of the Royal Academy stood up again and said: "Before the assessment begins, I solemnly remind you that in this round of assessment, your lives will be in danger, and you may even die in the mountains and forests, and I can Guaranteed, this is by no means alarmist talk.”

"So, I will give you a chance now. If anyone wants to quit, stand up. Otherwise, once the assessment starts, there will be no chance to quit."

Nearly a hundred boys and girls who participated in the assessment did not speak.

Entering the Royal Academy not only means a good cultivation environment, but also means the improvement of identity and status and possible brilliant achievements in the future. For these, how could they give up?

"Okay, I'll announce the content of the assessment." The old man with the goatee nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Everyone must enter the forest, survive in it for ten days, and kill three of them with equal or stronger strength than you. The fierce beast, and to obtain its beast core as proof, do you understand?"

"Understood." Everyone responded in unison, but their voices were not loud, and some even showed worry.

It's nothing for them to kill fierce beasts. They have naturally dealt with fierce beasts at their level of cultivation.

What they were really worried about was surviving in the mountains for ten days.

There are many dangers in Moyun Ridge, and no one knows what they will encounter if they enter it. If they encounter high-level beasts, they may only become snacks.

"In order to ensure your safety, I will send each of you a cloud-piercing arrow. If you encounter an irresistible danger, you can ask for help, and the people from the academy will arrive as soon as possible."

Hearing this sentence, everyone laughed, and they were relieved that their safety was guaranteed.

However, what the old man said next made their smiles froze on their faces.

"But..." the goatee old man's tone became more serious, "Once you use the Cloud Piercing Arrow, you will be considered eliminated regardless of whether you have fulfilled the requirements for hunting ferocious beasts or not."

After the words fell, the old man ignored everyone's expressions, and signaled the academy disciples on the side to release the cloud-piercing arrows.

A while later, Luo Chen got one, and after understanding how to use it, he carefully put it in his arms, it was a life-saving thing.

"Now, everyone chooses a weapon, and you can enter the mountain." The voice of the goatee old man sounded again.

At the same time, a large number of weapons appeared under his feet, such as knives, guns, swords and halberds.

Luo Chen didn't know how to use weapons, but seeing that most people chose swords, he also chose a three-foot long sword.

After all, to deal with thick-skinned and thick-skinned beasts, the lethality of weapons is stronger.

Looking at Bai Bing'er, Luo Chen, who was holding a long sword, immediately followed the crowd and ran quickly into the forest.

He knew very well that Bai Bing'er would definitely not let him go, and the vegetation in the mountains was dense, so he could only have a chance if he took the opportunity to get rid of her.

Bai Bing'er glanced at Luo Chen, a icy coldness appeared on the corner of her mouth, and followed with her long sword in hand.

Lin Haotian looked at Bai Binger's back, and followed her up.

On the other side, seeing the actions of the two, Cheng Lin, who was going in the other direction, showed a gleam of excitement in her eyes, and immediately followed.

Entering the forest, the light immediately dimmed.

But Luo Chen's speed did not decrease but increased, he immediately passed through the dense branches and leaves, and rushed towards the depths quickly.

Now that he has just entered the forest, he is not worried about encountering fierce beasts. His first priority at the moment is to avoid Bai Binger.

After running for more than half an hour, Luo Chen felt that he had already gone deep into the jungle, so Luo Chen stopped.

If he went further in, he was worried that he would be attacked by a high-level beast.

Fierce beasts are also divided into levels, from low to high, divided into one to nine levels, and each level is divided into nine levels.

The strength of a first-order ferocious beast is equivalent to that of a martial artist at the star apprentice level.

However, ferocious beasts are born with strong bodies. Generally speaking, ferocious beasts of the same level are stronger than warriors, but humans are superior in possessing martial arts, which makes up for the gap. Therefore, humans and ferocious beasts of the same level can barely compete.

With Luochen's current strength, he could only deal with beasts of the first and sixth ranks. No matter how high the level was, he would have to run for his life.

He looked around and found no danger, so he chose a direction and moved on.

He was in no hurry to hunt the beasts. He had ten days. What he had to do now was to ensure his own safety.

Carefully pushing aside the blocking branches and leaves, and then returning to its original shape after walking over, Luo Chen tried his best to move forward without leaving any traces.

After walking forward cautiously for half an hour, Luo Chen came to a small stream.

After drinking a few sips of stream water and washing his face, he crossed the stream and continued on.

If he wanted to avoid Bai Binger completely, he had to go far enough.

After walking for another three hours, it was not until the sun was overhead that Luo Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and stopped.

Along the way, he also encountered several ferocious beasts, but he avoided them all. The movement of the battle might reveal his whereabouts.

"It's been a whole morning and I've walked nearly twenty miles, so it should be safe!" Luo Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

After looking around for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he walked under a tree and kicked the big tree.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound, and the huge force made the big tree tremble.

"Shh!"

Almost at the same time, a gray hare, like a shadow, rushed out from the roots of the tree.

Luo Chen had been prepared for a long time, stabbed the long sword in his hand, and nailed the hare to the ground.

Carrying the hare, he found a water source to wash and peel it off, then Luo Chen found an open space, lit a fire and started roasting the hare.

This is the skill he has cultivated over the years. In the past, apart from working to subsidize his family, hunting in the mountains was also one of his sources of income.

Therefore, the survival problem that caused headaches for others was not difficult for him.

This is also one of the reasons why he is not in a hurry to hunt and kill ferocious beasts.

After a while, the rabbit was cooked.

Although there is no seasoning, the taste is inevitably not good, but for the current Luo Chen, it is enough to fill his stomach.

Just when Luochen picked up the rabbit and was about to eat it, a cold voice made his expression change suddenly.

"I underestimated you, but there were some tricks that almost made me lose track of you."

"Bai Bing'er." Luo Chen's expression changed, he stood up abruptly, and grabbed the long sword beside him.
