The semi-finals of the Gate of Heaven Selection were in full swing. The atmosphere was still high. Every time there was an outstanding score, it would attract the attention of the cameras. If there was an extraordinary score, the crowd would cheer.
The reporters from Anhu TV Station shuttled through the venue. Every time they saw a contestant with an outstanding score, they would rush forward at a speed that was comparable to a hundred-meter sprinter. The cameraman was not slow either. He carried the heavy camera and ran as if he was flying.
"Hello sir, I'm a reporter from An Hu TV Station. May I ask you …"
"Sorry, I'm busy. Excuse me."
The three rejections made the tall female reporter's hand freeze in mid-air. She laughed dryly. "Looks like this is a low-profile candidate. Let's interview someone else."
"Hello …"
"No."
The tall female reporter was speechless.
Flips the table! (∀ ́ □ ′) ノ (━ ━)
However, she looked around and saw that every candidate was in a hurry.
There was a time limit for the semi-finals, and there was no time to participate in all eighteen trials. The contestants judged which trial they would get the most points in was a reflection of their intelligence. Under such circumstances, every contestant wished they could participate in one or two more trials. They even gave up on the chance to show off.
There were a few candidates who were willing to answer questions. However, they only answered one or two questions before the next test.
After ten minutes, the tall female reporter was panting. Her mantou was shaking and her clothes were drenched in sweat.
The other reporters from An Hu TV Station could not take it anymore. This year's candidates were really hard to deal with.
Therefore, the TV Station changed their strategy. They no longer chased after the outstanding candidates. Instead, they waited and filmed the performances of the seeded candidates.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm now at the Willpower test area.
The strength of one's willpower is something that is difficult to define. However, the Gate of Heaven has a way to measure it. It has a unified standard. "
The tall female reporter moved to the side. The camera zoomed in and focused on one of the devil statues.
"The fiend statue that everyone is looking at is a test of willpower. The fiend's gaze has an extraordinary oppressive force that can cause fear in people's hearts. What the contestants need to do is endure the fiend's gaze for a certain amount of time.
Persisting for ten seconds was a pass, eighteen seconds was an excellent evaluation, and as long as one persisted for thirty seconds, one would be extraordinary.
Everyone knew that the weighting of the Willpower test was 3.5 points. This meant that as long as one obtained an Extraordinary evaluation, they would be able to obtain a high score of 105 points. This was comparable to the passing score of ten ordinary tests! Of course, there hasn't been any contestants who have achieved an Extraordinary evaluation in the Willpower assessment. The longest time they've lasted is twenty-five seconds. It's said that even veterans who have experienced the battlefield might not be able to last ten seconds. "
While the female reporter was explaining, there were quite a few contestants who went up, but most of them lasted five or seven seconds before being defeated.
It's not that these contestants were weak. There were almost no mediocre people who could pass the audition. But this time, the difficulty of the Will assessment was much harder than the last Little Dark Room assessment. "Demon's Gaze" was now one of the official training programs for hunters under the Tree Shade.
The test of willpower was one of the most watched tests in the semi-finals. However, no one had lasted for more than ten seconds. The entire process of the test was uneventful, and the female reporter's face was starting to lose its composure.
She had to change the topic.
"Everyone, pay attention to the eyes of the demon statue. Those eyes are very vivid. Especially the longer the contestants persist, the brighter the demon's eyes become … Oh, look at the stone stool under the statue. There seems to be some small words engraved on it …"
The camera slowly zoomed in. The female reporter stared intently and whispered aloud:
"When you stare into the abyss, the abyss: What are you looking at?"
The female reporter: "Meow, meow, meow?"
She couldn't find a topic to continue.
At this time, she caught a glimpse of a contestant. She had blonde hair and purple pupils. Her appearance was different from the people of Anxia.
"She's a member of the Violet Royal Family. That family was born with purple pupils."
The female reporter remembered that this Violet had achieved good results in several previous tests. She immediately asked the cameraman to point the camera at her.
There were many other things, such as the Violet Royal Family's hundreds of years of genetic optimization. Her beautiful face was worthy of a wave of focus.
Violet turned a blind eye to everything around her. She stepped forward and stood two meters in front of the demon statue.
The sweat on her forehead was swept away, and her purple pupils stared at the demon's eyes.
In an instant..,
An invisible pressure enveloped her. Everything around her seemed to be far away, leaving only the pair of demon's eyes, which continued to enlarge in her line of sight.
Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and the fear in her heart gradually grew, making people want to look away.
However..,
Violet Nina still persisted.
Her face became paler and paler, but there was no fear on her face.
Five seconds, ten seconds, fifteen seconds..
"Oh my god, twenty-five seconds, breaking the record!"
The exclamations of the female reporter and the surrounding contestants couldn't reach Violet Nina's ears at all. It was as if she was in a completely enclosed space and couldn't feel the flow of time.
Finally..,
Phew ~
On the demon statue, the pair of eyes that were already glowing with red light dimmed and returned to their original state.
Violet staggered a little and exited the stare state.
And time..,
Stopped at forty-two seconds!
..
On the other side, in the perception assessment area.
In the circular field with a radius of twenty-five meters, there were countless small fountain holes. From time to time, water columns would spray out from the fountain holes.
The ten contestants in the assessment area dodged the water columns in a sorry state.
After being sprayed three times by the water columns, they could only regrettably be eliminated.
These water columns sprayed out irregularly. Only before they sprayed out, there was a slight movement that could be detected. However, the stadium was extremely noisy. The ten contestants stayed together in a small area, and they even interfered with each other.
Not long after, they were all eliminated.
Batches of people went forward to take the assessment, and batches of people left dejectedly. Occasionally, a few people would obtain a passing evaluation. In terms of difficulty, it was higher than the willpower assessment.
A blind girl walked onto the assessment area. The girl's ordinary appearance was not outstanding among the contestants. At first, no one paid attention to her, and she seemed to have no sense of existence. However, as the contestants in the area were eliminated one after another, the girl gradually appeared in everyone's eyes. Her speed was not fast, but it was as if she had foresight. Before the water column sprayed out, she left the fountain hole first.
When the ninth contestant was eliminated, she was still not drenched by the water column.
As time passed, more and more water columns sprayed out at the same time, and the blind girl could not avoid being defeated.
Another extraordinary!
