After 24 hours, Si Kongjian looked at the clock that was projected from his Emperor's Heart Ring. He hovered in the air and his voice resonated throughout the entire place.
"The deadline of 24 hours has passed. I will now announce the results of the first round of training."
"The total number of people who passed the training is 978. There are only three people who arrived three minutes later than me. They are Yi Yeyu, Lin Huang and Li Lang. The three of them will be awarded 1,000 points in the first round of training. "
"Four people who arrived within three to ten minutes will be awarded 500 points."
"28 people who arrived within ten minutes to half an hour will be awarded 300 points."
"89 people who arrived within half an hour to one hour will be awarded 200 points."
"238 people who arrived within one to three hours will be awarded 100 points."
"593 people who arrived within three to five hours will be awarded 50 points."
"26 people who arrived within five to 24 hours will not be awarded any points."
"The rest of the people who did not arrive within the stipulated time will be eliminated!"
After Si Kongjian announced the results, he continued, "Now that I've completed my task, the examiner of the second round will be in charge of the rest."
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Kongjian landed from mid-air while a muscular man slowly rose into the air next to him.
The man looked serious and he was at least two meters tall. Even through his military uniform, the people could feel his bulging muscles. He was at least two times bigger than Si Kongjian.
"My name is Zang Bing and I'm the examiner of the second round. I don't care how much strength and Life Power you've lost in the first round. I don't care which organization you're from either, the Coalition government or some other organization. I don't care how powerful your background is, because none of this has anything to do with me! No matter how many people call you geniuses, to me, those who don't pass the second round of training are useless! "
Zang Bing threatened the people as soon as he arrived. His words were rude and Lin Huang and the rest had a rough idea of the examiner's personality.
"Let's cut to the chase. I'm only going to repeat the rules of the second round of training once."
Everyone became quiet and pricked up their ears, afraid that they would miss something.
"The assessment is very simple: Hunt Transcendent monsters!"
Hearing the content of the test, many people opened their mouths wide, thinking that they had misheard.
Although all of them were elites from different organizations, only real geniuses could kill Transcendent monsters with gold-level rank-3 or complete gold-level abilities. The content of the test was a bit too much.
Just when someone was going to object, Zang Bing proceeded to explain the rules of the assessment. "Of course, I can't let you kill transcendent monsters individually. If that's the case, I don't think anyone will pass this round of assessment."
"For this round, teams of three to five people will be formed to hunt Transcendent monsters. The special training lasted for ten days. At the end of the ten days, each team had to collectively submit twice the number of Transcendent beast corpses. If it was a three-man team, they would have to hand in six Transcendent Beast corpses. If it was a team of five, they would have to hand over ten Transcendent Beast corpses. If the total number of participants is not enough, all members of the team will be eliminated! "
"Once a team has been selected, it cannot be changed. No member of the team is allowed to quit at the last moment, and no one else is allowed to abandon a teammate. Even if a teammate dies, he or she has to hand in double the number of Transcendent monster corpses. Otherwise, you'll fail the assessment! "
Hearing this, many of them were relieved. However, they soon realized that the assessment was not as simple as it seemed.
If there were no restrictions on the assessment time or number of participants, everyone would definitely choose to form a team of five as the probability of killing a monster in a team of five would be higher.
However, there were only ten days for the assessment. The more people there were, the more monsters they had to submit. If it was a team of five, it would mean that they had to kill ten Transcendent monsters within ten days. On average, they would have to kill one monster every day. If it was a team of three, they would only have to kill six Transcendent monsters within ten days. Killing one monster in a day and a half would be enough to complete the task. The task would be much easier.
Moreover, according to the rules of the assessment, as soon as a team was formed, regardless of whether they were willing to or not, the team and the individuals would be bound together. Only by completing the task together could they pass the assessment.
Therefore, it was difficult to choose a team member. It would be troublesome if they had a disagreement or if they were weak.
Lin Huang was thinking if he should seize the opportunity to leave the team as he was only gold-level rank-2. Nobody would be willing to form a team with him.
Just when the thought popped up in his mind, Yi Yeyu signaled Li Lang with her eyes.
"Why don't the three of us form a team?" Yi Yeyu suggested.
"I think that works!" Li Lang agreed immediately.
Lin Huang raised his eyebrow and looked at the both of them. "Aren't you guys afraid that I'll be a burden?"
"It's just a training session. We won't be participating in the third round anyway. There's nothing to lose anyway." Li Lang looked like he did not care.
"It doesn't matter to him. But isn't your target the Fire Phoenix?" Lin Huang turned around and looked at Yi Yeyu.
"I don't even know the exact location of the Fire Phoenix. Even if I find it, the possibility of killing it is not high." Yi Yeyu shook her head. "It's the same to find other monsters to level up after we get out of here. I've been waiting for half a year, one or two more months won't matter."
Of course, Lin Huang knew that the both of them treated him as a friend and were afraid that he would be left alone. That was why they suggested to form a team with him. However, he was hesitant to form a team with the both of them. If he were to form a team with them, he would definitely expose part of his abilities. Unless he did nothing in the team and watched the both of them fight, he would feel bad if he did that.
Just when Lin Huang was hesitating, a few young men in the Demon Slayer Legion's uniform walked towards Yi Yeyu.
"Ms. Yi, let's form a team and look for the Fire Phoenix's location within these ten days," the leading man said to Yi Yeyu without even looking at Lin Huang and Li Lang.
"I've already chosen my team for this round of assessment. I won't be forming a team with you guys." Yi Yeyu rejected the suggestion directly.
The few of them were stunned when they heard that. They then noticed Lin Huang and Li Lang who were standing next to her. The leading man obviously recognized Lin Huang as well but he noticed that Lin Huang's combat level was only gold-level rank-2.
"Ms. Yi, your friend's combat level is only gold-level rank-2. Even if his movement skill is good, that's all there is to it. He won't be of much help if we encounter a Transcendent monster. He'll only be a burden … "
"What I decide is none of your business," Yi Yeyu interrupted the leading man coldly. The reason why she was angry was that the man said that Lin Huang would be a burden to them. She thought that Lin Huang would be upset if he heard that. "You guys can leave. I don't need your help to level up!"
"This … It'll be hard for us to explain when we get back." The man looked troubled. They were soldiers and it was their duty to obey. They had accepted the mission to level up Yi Yeyu before they came in. What Yi Yeyu said put him in a difficult position.
"You guys don't have to explain. I'll tell my great-grandfather that I don't need your help." Yi Yeyu still looked cold.
Despite what she said, the few of them dared not leave. They were afraid that Yi Yeyu would tell on them and it would be difficult for them to stay in the Demon Slayer Legion. After all, Yi Donglai was the founder of the Demon Slayer Legion and the current legion commander was the old master's disciple.
Right at this moment, Zang Bing cleared his throat. "Let's postpone forming a team for now. You guys can ask me if you have any questions now."
Lin Huang was the first one to raise his hand again.
Seeing that it was a gold-level rank-2 young man who raised his hand, Zang Bing looked at Si Kongjian in confusion and nodded. "Go ahead."
"Can we use all our skills in this round? Are there any restrictions? "Many of them wanted to know the answer to Lin Huang's question.
"You can use all your skills. There are no restrictions. Even if you have a god relic, you can use it too. "Zang Bing's answer was clear.
Lin Huang raised his hand again after getting the answer.
"Do you have any other questions?" Zang Bing asked again.
"Can I not join any team this round? Can I kill it alone?" Lin Huang asked again.
Zang Bing squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Huang. The rest of them looked at Lin Huang like he was making a fool of himself. They thought that Lin Huang asked the question because he knew that he did not have anyone to form a team with. It was not because he had the ability to kill it alone. Si Kongjian was the only one who began to look at Lin Huang seriously. He felt that Lin Huang was confident when he asked the question.
"No, this round is a team assessment. If you can't form a team with three or more members, you'll be eliminated immediately! "Zang Bing denied directly.
Lin Huang frowned. It was not easy for him to find a place with spiritual lava. Naturally, he did not want to be eliminated so soon.
"Are you satisfied with the answer? Can you agree to form a team now? "Li Lang raised his eyebrow at Lin Huang.
"Alright." Lin Huang then agreed to form a team.
Yi Yeyu felt better when she heard that Lin Huang had agreed to it. She said to the few of them from the Demon Slayer Legion, "I won't go with you guys, at least not this round. I'll contact you guys again if I need anything after this round. "
After receiving this reply, the few of them saluted and turned around to leave …
As soon as they left, the people from the Hunters' Association came to look for Li Lang. However, he rejected them too.
Only then did the three-man team officially assemble.
