Chapter 16 Each one depends on
his ability.
After getting the weapons, Wei Yuan picked a heavy armor with the strongest defense among all the armors. This heavy armor has a built-in face guard on the helmet, and the limbs extend all the way to the back of the hands and feet, almost covering from head to toe. The long swords chosen by most candidates are completely useless in front of this set of heavy armor. In fact, there are edged hammers, heavy maces and three-edged short swords that are good at breaking heavy armor in the treasure chest weapons, but perhaps because they are not elegant and domineering enough, Wei Yuan did not see anyone choose them.
After selecting weapons and armor, the treasure chest disappeared by itself. The heavy armor appeared directly on Wei Yuan and he put it on by himself. However, this is an authentic heavy armor, and after putting it on, you can only jog.
At this time, two more people climbed up the hill. Both of them were in the uniforms of the Green Team. The one in front was thin and was the scout that Wei Yuan saw at the beginning. The Green Team disciple next to him was quite burly, only a little shorter than Wei Yuan.
At this moment, the thin candidate was saying to his companions: "I'm telling you, there's a lone big fool here who can't even use a weapon. Let's join forces and get some achievements first..."
Halfway through his words, the thin candidate saw Wei Yuan standing on the top of the hill, wearing heavy armor and holding a spear, and swallowed all the following words back into his stomach.
Wei Yuan didn't waste words with them, strode forward, and shot out his spear like a dragon, piercing the two men one by one. The light leather armor worn by the two men had a beautiful shape and did not hinder their movements, but they were like paper in front of the spears.
In the south of the illusion, Li Zhi was wearing armor and carrying a sword, standing in front of the formation. He had already gathered 120 candidates, and now they were divided into four teams, front, middle, left and right, and arranged very neatly.
Looking at the neat military formation, Li Zhi was very satisfied. Before the exam, he and several confidants painstakingly practiced the method of military formation, and just now they spent a lot of time to organize the team. Now these more than 100 people already look like an elite division.
Outside the military formation, there were more than a dozen people standing scattered, all in dark yellow clothes. These people were not recruited by Li Zhi, but were found by the teams themselves. A tall candidate holding a knife was standing in front of the dozen people, pointing to a small mound not far away and said: "You will guard there for a while. Without my order, you are not allowed to retreat a step! Wait, before you go over, hand over all your pills and use them together!"
The mound was located in front of the army formation, responsible for blocking the enemy's front. It was arranged in that place, and the life-saving pills were taken away. I am afraid that these people will be wiped out if the enemy charges.
Those scattered candidates were not stupid. Some of them refused to do it and jumped out and shouted: "We surrendered with good intentions, but you treat us as fools? We died in one encounter if we guarded that position. How many points can we get? In the end, we can't even get a position in the Red Tide Sect! There is no benefit, why should we listen to you?"
Li Zhi slowly turned around, looked at the candidate, expressionless, and said: "Disobeying orders in front of the battle, disturbing the morale of the army! Behead!"
The candidate was stunned. Before he could understand what was going on, the tall and strong candidate next to him swung a knife and beheaded him!
The headless body of the examinee fell to the ground and disappeared into light.
The remaining individual examinees trembled and dared not resist anymore. They handed in the pills obediently. Although the regulations clearly stipulate that killing teammates will reduce the evaluation, it does not say how much. Li Zhi dared to kill people to establish his authority, which means that he does not care about this at all. Besides, it was not Li Zhi who killed the people.
Li Zhi turned around and said loudly to the entire army: "Everyone has seen that there is no joking in the army! This is a martial arts test, which is actually a real battlefield! We have fewer people than the other side, so we must unite. The other side is just a mob. As long as everyone can follow orders, I, Li Zhi, will lead you to crush the enemy camp and enter the Immortal Sect together!"
After hearing the four words "enter the Immortal Sect together", the examinees in the army knew that their hope was slim, but they were all excited.
In the sky hall, the six judges had already taken their seats. They looked down and took in everything in the illusion.
The old scholar stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Li Zhi was able to train a group of children to look like a military in one day. He knows how to kill people to establish his authority and inspire people. Lord Hui En is lucky to have a good son."
However, the old scholar did not say that Li Zhi was like his father. After
all, everyone present knew what kind of person Lord Hui En was. The middle-aged scholar bowed to all four sides and said, "You have seen how good Li Zhi is these two days. The last battle is of great significance to him. I hope you will show some mercy. Then my academy will repay you."
The young monk suddenly smiled and said, "You want to ensure that Li Zhi is the first and use this title to build up your momentum so that he can soar to the sky. That's not wrong. But young lady happens to be a person who refuses to admit defeat and now she also wants the first place. What should we do?"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar frowned slightly and said earnestly, "Miss Bao, you are just fighting for your pride. There is no real benefit in taking the first place. It's okay to give way, right?"
The young monk chuckled and said, "It's okay to give way? You can tell the Bao family this, but it's useless to tell me!"
"If Miss Bao is willing to help, we will reward her handsomely."
The young monk sneered and said, "Young lady doesn't like the things you poor guys can come up with!"
Seeing that the two were getting more and more tense, the older monk stroked his long beard, coughed, and said, "Since there is no stalemate, it depends on your ability." The middle-
aged Confucian scholar nodded and said, "That's the best."
The young monk glared at the older monk and turned to look at Taoist Fufeng and the monk. After the monk took in Duan Yusheng, he stopped making any moves, and he was fair in his scoring. But from another perspective, this monk was the type who would not budge, and no one could say anything. All the judges had given up trying to win him over early on.
Taoist Fufeng was originally an old fox with a deep mind. After two tests, no one knew which one he really wanted to protect. The young monk looked at him with the intention of giving it a try, and did not expect a response.
At this time, among the six judges, except for the two Confucian scholars from the Four Saints Academy, the rest of the judges belonged to different factions, each with their own thoughts and people to protect. In this way, the Four Saints Academy had a great advantage in the scoring process. If they wanted to suppress someone's score, they could directly suppress it to the cave heaven. Only the Bao family was powerful and not afraid of the Four Saints Academy, so they would openly compete for the first place in the unified examination.
When the young monk was judging the scores, he was alone, so he was at a disadvantage. It is easy to imagine that the two scholars will definitely lower the score of Miss Bao's family, so if the situation is to be reversed, the young monk must find another ally to lower Li Zhi's score.
The young monk's face was full of resentment, but he was quickly calculating which party he could win over and when he could stab the Four Saints Academy. But no matter how he thought about it, it was an unsolvable situation.
Just when the young monk was at a loss, Taoist Fufeng suddenly said: "In the Taoist test and literary test two days ago, the two gentlemen took good care of my disciples of Taichu Palace. After I went back, I thought about it and felt that I could not repay them, so I will definitely respond today."
The young monk was surprised and happy, while the two scholars of the Four Saints Academy were shocked. They didn't understand what was wrong with Taoist Fufeng, who had to go against them. Wasn't he afraid that the two of them would join forces to give random scores to the candidates competing for the quota of Taichu Palace, ruining his big plan?
The old scholar immediately raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Then I won't care. Don't blame me for being ruthless in my writing!"
Taoist Fufeng spread his hands and gestured for him to go ahead.
The old scholar was so angry that his face turned black. He sat still, and no one knew what he was thinking. From time to time, he exchanged glances with the middle-aged scholar.
At this moment, there was a sudden bang, and the door of the hall was kicked open!
