Chapter 77 "I'm betting you can pass the test"
Day 22 of highway survival.
January 22, 8675 (Gao Lu Calendar), 12:40.
Pei Hening hung up Chu Xuange's call and navigated to the school.
When 002 drove the car into the garage, Pei Hening saw four vehicles he had never seen before: a black RV, two SUVs, and a pickup truck.
The four players who came to do volunteer work have arrived.
She snapped out of her thoughts, opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the teaching building.
Outside the main gate of the teaching building, Shuxiao, dressed in a white-gold magic robe and adorned with various gems, leaned listlessly against the door frame with her arms crossed.
She lazily raised her eyes, and only after seeing Pei Hening did she walk towards her: "Let's go, Xixia asked me to arrange an assessment for you."
"Isn't Teacher Cassia coming?"
Shuxiao yawned and said, "She has never participated in the assessment."
Pei Hening nodded and obediently followed behind Shuxiao, watching her ears twist uncontrollably on her head.
Pei Hening was taken to a large floating island by Shuxiao.
A circular open space was enclosed in the center of the floating island, with ancient magical runes carved on the ground. There were spectator seats around it, as well as a large magical crystal screen that provided a clear view of the situation in the center of the floating island.
Pei Hening glanced at the temporarily empty audience seats and asked, "Teacher, were there other people watching during the assessment?"
Shuxiao nodded lazily: "Yes, all assessments at the school are open to the public, and faculty and students are welcome to attend."
Pei Hening: "Am I the first trainee to be tested?"
Shuxiao nodded and led her toward the center of the floating island: "The assessment prohibits the use of talents, skills, and items. You need to pass the assessment within half an hour."
She paused, then said, "Yure has set up a betting pool, and I'm betting that you'll pass the test."
Pei Hening blinked, curiously asking, "How many gold coins did you bet?"
Shuxiao turned to look at her and said solemnly, "30,000, odds of 1.3, the betting has been closed."
Pei Hening suppressed her regret and said, "I know, I will clear the game as soon as possible."
Pei Hening walked into the center of the floating island. A magical creature that looked like a bee flew around her and, after confirming her identity, loudly announced: "The examinees are in place. The assessment is about to begin. Spectators, please take your seats as soon as possible."
"The trainees are in position and the assessment is about to begin. Spectators, please take your seats as soon as possible."
"The trainees are in position and the assessment is about to begin. Spectators, please take your seats as soon as possible."
After three consecutive broadcasts, Pei Hening saw all sorts of creatures appear in the previously empty audience seats!
She scanned the audience and saw members of various races, including the Frost Clan, the Abyss Clan, the Tree Clan, and the Feather Clan, as well as students such as Chu Xuange and Helian Ye.
The stands were full in the blink of an eye; there were so many people at the school!
However, after looking around twice... she still couldn't see Sicily.
Magic Creations continues broadcasting—
"3-2-1-The assessment begins!"
The magic runes on the floor flashed, and four humanoid puppets appeared, surrounding Pei Hening.
—It is a puppet refined from the four major attributes.
The agile temperer, wielding a dagger shimmering with magical runes, swiftly attacked Pei Hening. She heard the sound of air being cut and quickly analyzed its attack range and speed, deciding to counterattack with minimal losses!
Just as she finished her analysis, a vine that had sprung up from the ground entangled her foot. It was an intelligence refiner using a skill to assist an agility refiner.
Pei Hening took out the chainsaw, turned it on, and sawed at the vine. Greenish sap and broken vine fragments flew everywhere, and a small piece of vine suddenly fell off—was that its finger?
The magic patterns on the vines instantly dimmed, and the vines disappeared!
After escaping, Pei Hening turned sideways and lowered his shoulder to avoid the agile temperer's dagger, then picked up the chainsaw and cut towards its joints.
The power refiner swung his enormous hammer down at her head—
"Snap!"
She kicked the power-forged individual in the ankle joint, and with such a powerful attack, his ankle cracked as it broke.
The power refiner swayed slightly, but managed to stand firm again.
Pei Hening kicked the agility temperer away and then attacked the strength temperer, beating him while he was down!
She wielded the chainsaw and slashed at the Strength Forger's ankle. As he fell, she sensed danger behind her and rolled away to avoid it.
It was a physical strength cultivator who launched the attack on her...
Based on her experience fighting the White Monster, Pei Hening easily found their weaknesses.
The Intelligence Temperor and the Agility Temperor behind her attacked simultaneously—the Intelligence Temperor used vines to lock her throat, while the Agility Temperor gripped a dagger, ready to stab her.
Pei Hening was furious.
—A group fight! Another group fight!
Moreover, the intelligence temperer reminded her of the time when she was pinned to the ground and brutally beaten by those vines. The angrier she got, the calmer she became, and she used a chainsaw to cut the vines!
After dealing with the vines, he slammed his elbow into the Agile Temperor, then grabbed the chainsaw and stabbed it in the eye!
The Agility Temperor was seriously injured and its movements became sluggish. Pei Hening picked it up and smashed it onto the Intelligence Temperor!
The two puppets collided and fell to the ground.
Before Pei Hening could catch her breath, the remaining two puppets attacked her from the left and right!
The power refiner on the left was smashing her with a large iron hammer—
The physical strength trainer on the right swung his fist at her face—
Pei Hening quickly retreated and seized the opportunity to attack the weakness of the power temperer—the third lumbar vertebra.
The thing wielding that big hammer was too intimidating; if she were even a fraction slower, she'd probably end up covered in bruises. She'd better deal with it first!
In the spectator stands, Chu Xuange stared intently at the screen in front of him.
Seeing Pei Hening defuse crises time and time again, and turn a disadvantage of one against four into an advantage, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
Seeing his emotions showing, Rune raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Are you very concerned about this student?"
Chu Xuange nodded: "She is my lover."
Rune understood: "You two are a good match. She is very talented. She is very capable of finding the weaknesses of these four puppets in such a short time."
The more Lu En watched Pei Hening's fight, the more he liked it. He suddenly asked, "Who is her teacher? What do you think about me recruiting her to take classes with you?"
Chu Xuange looked up at him, his dark eyes full of seriousness: "Forget it, your teaching methods are too extreme and not suitable for her."
Chu Xuange felt a headache coming on whenever he thought about the insane courses that Lu En had arranged for him in order to unleash his greatest potential.
Rune didn't think there was anything wrong with his teaching content: "That's just your personal opinion, it's very one-sided."
Seeing that he still cared about Pei Hening, Chu Xuange added quietly, "Her teacher is Xixia."
Rune's expression stiffened: "I think you have a point. My teaching methods are indeed not suitable for her."
