The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 121 — Entrance Examination of the Jade Wolf Sect (4)
Lian Haocun replied with a small volume, “Curi roll their form.”
Lian Huanran and Long Yuan, “ Wouldn't we rather not look for trouble?
Lian Haocun continued, “The position of the scroll is in the grasp of their hands. I can steal it without them noticing, plus if they haven't cleared the defense exam, we'll wait a little longer.”
Long Yuan nodded his head, as did Lian Huanran. However, the fight between participants is not allowed and if it violates the risk is unknown because it is not notified. However, theft or destruction of form rolls is allowed. This is really an advantage for someone who has the expertise to hide the eve of his existence or the expertise that can be used to steal/destroy form rolls.
Instantly, Lian Haocun who was previously in the middle of Long Yuan and Lian Huanran, disappeared on the spot! Even Lian Huanran was greatly shocked by his brother's lightning speed. In an instant, Lian Huanran and Long Yuan could see the shadow of Lian Haocun snatching three scrolls of forms from the hands of the three participants, in just one second!
The three participants were very shocked by the sudden existence of Lian Haocun. However, one of the participants soon realized that their form scrolls were disappearing, he stared at Lian Haocun who was already using his fire element to burn all three of the form scrolls!
The participant immediately shouted furiously, and the reflex he attacked Lian Haocun who was very close to him. Unfortunately before his attack hit Lian Haocun, his body disappeared! Leaving a strong wind blowing towards Lian Haocun.
While the other two participants who had not been able to react to what happened, disappeared along with the participants who attacked Lian Haocun. It seemed that the scroll of the form also contained a teleportation spell.
Naturally, the cries of the participants attacking Lian Haocun caught the attention of the other people inside the tent. The other two participants immediately checked outside the tent and found Lian Haocun. Before they could figure out what had happened, Lian Haocun had already snatched two scrolls of their forms and burned them to ashes. After a few seconds, they disappeared. That series of movements only took one minute.
Although there is still one more participant who is doing the defense exam. Lian Haocun could not find the form scroll of one participant left among the previous participant's form scroll, meaning the remaining participant's form scroll was most likely in the hands of the defense exam examiner.
Without guilt, they entered the tent of the defense examination and read the rules for the defense examination. The time for the defense exam was shorter than the assault exam, just two minutes. Participants are not allowed to attack the examiner in any way, if the participant attacks the examiner, then the participant will be disqualified.
Participants can use any means to avoid tester attacks within two minutes, except for elements that have been raised by participants. And if the participant gets more than ten injuries, the participant will be declared a failure.
Lian Huanran concluded, “So every wound we get will reduce the points we get? As we get seven wounds, then we will get 3 points?”
Lian Haocun nodded and not long after, one remaining participant, failed the defense exam. Although the participant had begged to repeat, his form scroll was destroyed by the defense examiner without mercy. After which, the defense examiner who was a man, walked towards Lian Haocun and his group.
The tester asked, “Who will advance first?”
Inside the tent there is a special circle area for testing, just like the previous assault exam tent.
Lian Huanran said, “Yuan, you go ahead first.”.
Long Yuan nodded and handed the form scroll to Lian Huanran. Then Long Yuan started his defensive examination. After two minutes had passed, the result was that Long Yuan's small body did not have a single wound!
The examiner praised, “Though your little body you are really great, I think you are even a dragon race, not a single one of my attacks can hurt you.”
Then the examiner said, "This is something that must be given to participants who pass the defense exam. Even if you don't get hurt one bit, maybe it'll come in handy later."
‘Isn't the Jade Wolf Sect very wasteful? One tier 3 magic medicinal pill cost at least around 100,000 gold pieces to 500,000 gold pieces!’ Lian Huanran complained in his heart, even though the participants had benefited.
Then Lian Huanran conducted a defensive test and managed to get nine points thanks to his agility and speed in dodging the attacks from the examiners. Lian Haocun also earned nine points. After finishing the defensive examination, they exited the tent. The time had already passed by almost 30 minutes when they finished doing the two exams.
Lian Haocun who always counted the time despite being doing the exam, said, “We have already spent twenty-eight minutes waiting for the group members, completing the exam and time for the trip to the exam location, we better split up into two groups.”
Lian Huanran, “Why don't they all just split up? Why split in two?”
Lian Haocun did not reply, but instead asked, “Are you and Long Yuan sure you can avoid having your form rolls stolen?”
Long Yuan said, “No need to worry! After all Huanran actually has the cultivation level of the Golden Core Formation stage, and I am at the same level as the Core Formation stage. And our opponents, the other participants, are at most only at the Foundation Building stage..”.
Lian Huanran nodded in agreement, Lian Haocun looked at them and said, “Then we will split into three. I will not be responsible if your form roll is stolen by other participants.”
Long Yuan and Lian Huanran nodded, then they went to the exam location they had chosen. Long Yuan chose the elemental mastery exam, while Lian Huanran had the physical exam. While Lian Haocun chose the remaining exam, the mental exam.
The location of the mental exam was quite far from the location of the defensive exam, Lian Haocun used his full speed to head towards the location of the mental exam, so only a black shadow was visible as Lian Haocun ran. Finally Lian Haocun only spent five minutes to get to the location of the mental exam which was quite far away!
The location of the mental exam was not the same as the previous two exams, it was a cave. There was also no examiner, only a supervisor. The supervisor was in charge of answering the questions of participants who did not understand the rules for mental exams and where to submit the form roll.
Lian Haocun only saw the rules at a glance and instantly summed up the point. He only needed to enter one of the ten stone rooms provided and stay there for a minute, which was very short, if he was out before a minute, and stay there for a minute, he will fail the mental test. After one minute has passed, the participant will automatically be teleported back outside.
Lian Haocun handed the scroll of his form to the supervisor and without hesitation entered one of the stone rooms. After entering the room, in an instant, the space that only consisted of a stone wall, turned into another scene.
