Just as the two of them called out to give up, two ice dragons descended from the sky, sending them out.
David broke out in laughter. It was because from this moment onwards, his plan had succeeded.
The first and third stages of the Regional Selection were very individual tests, and it was almost impossible to interfere with each other.
The fourth stage, on the other hand, depended on one's abilities. Unless he found a chance to poison the opponents, it would be too difficult to do so in the Regional Academy.
Therefore, his last hope lay in the second stage, Striving for the Best. This was the only stage in which he could borrow strength from the ferocious beasts. He asked around for many methods, but in the end, he still set his sights on the beast luring incense.
However, if he were to bring it in directly, it would probably be prohibited. It was because if he were to use it directly, it would mean that all sorts of strong acids, poisons, kerosene, and the like could be used. The entire examination would lose its meaning, and this was something the examiners would definitely not allow.
Therefore, he gave up on the beast luring incense and thought of something else.
Other than growing and leveling up naturally, the other way for ferocious beasts to level up was to engulf all sorts of heavenly and earthly treasures. Many ferocious beasts had accidentally engulfed a large amount of heavenly and earthly treasures and turned violent.
Also, many ferocious beasts had unlocked greater potential after engulfing heavenly and earthly treasures, even evolving into a different type of ferocious beast.
Therefore, the method David had chosen was to bring heavenly and earthly treasures into the human body. He spent seven days, spending over ten thousand gold, to feed these two Knights. At the same time, he forbade them from doing any exercise or cultivating, to prevent them from digesting the medicinal prowess.
With this, their blood finally contained a large amount of medicinal prowess from heavenly and earthly treasures, as well as countless essences that could attract ferocious beasts.
When these herbal essences were mixed together with the beast luring incense, they had a fatal attraction to all ferocious beasts.
'Blind, you're blind.' David thought coldly, 'No matter how sharp your hearing is, no matter if you've attained Heaven's Perception or not.
'No matter how you try to hide it, you won't be able to hide the fact that you're blind. You can't see beyond ten meters, so you won't be able to detect the blood potion on the arrow.
'Blindness is your major flaw. No matter how you try to hide it, it's useless.'
In that instant, more and more ferocious beasts went berserk. Their eyes were bloodshot and blank as they looked in the direction where Fang Xingjian was. At the next moment, they surged toward Fang Xingjian like a tidal wave.
Governor Devitt's brows twitched, but at the next moment, he smiled.
In the distance, Yaris shook the air and transmitted his voice over. He asked, "Let them go?"
Devitt said, "This can't be considered cheating. It can be considered an intelligent scheme."
Armstrong, whose face was filled with scars, also said, "Battles require one to use their brains. There are enough people who only know how to use brute force. There can't be all Conferred Knights who only know how to use brute force, right?"
Devitt nodded and said, "If he's using beast-luring incense, then he's just relying on external objects. However, doing so can be considered a strategy. You guys have to be very clear about this."
"Furthermore …" After saying that, Devitt smiled. "Do you think that the competition is over just like that? There were 100 knights here. How many of them were fools? 100 people's thoughts, 100 people's actions … With their cultivation, how could they be able to calculate clearly? In the end, strategies are just supplementary. In the end, what is relied on is still one's own abilities. "
Just as they were speaking, the ferocious ferocious beasts were already surging toward Fang Xingjian.
Many of the Knights, who had been prepared to fight, were surprised to discover that the wild beasts did not choose to fight with them. Instead, they headed straight for the center of the maze.
Hamil wielded a silver greatsword, sending a level 12 giant wolf flying with a single slash. Just as he was about to give chase once again, he realized that the giant wolf had only rolled over, wanting to charge past him from the side.
Hamil's gaze flickered, and he immediately dodged the huge wolf. Then he realized that most of the ferocious beasts that were charging toward him had gone around him. At the start, he had taken the opportunity to kill a few of them. However, he soon reacted and stopped.
'Has something happened?
'But since I can save energy, there's no need for me to do anything. I'll wait and see if there are any changes.'
…
On the other side, the Effulgence Weapon in Rota's hands was activated. Together with the small silver spear, she pierced through spatial gaps and pierced through the head of a ferocious wild boar from a distance of over a hundred meters. She then followed up with a flick of her spear, sending a ferocious tiger flying into the air.
Looking at the ferocious beasts that were trying to go around her, unwilling to fight her head-on, she showed no signs of letting them off.
'It's obvious that there's something wrong with the ferocious beasts. They rarely take the initiative to attack me.
'But at this moment, I should take the opportunity to kill them.'
Rota's thoughts kept on flashing past her mind, as well as her understanding of Governor Devitt.
'Hmph, when ordinary people participate in the Regional Selection, they only know how to increase their abilities and how to clear the stages.
'But I know that the most important part of the Regional Selection is the examiner, the Governor.'
There were a total of eight Governors in the Empire's eight regions, each presiding over the Regional Selection for each region. Other than the Pantheon Monument Observation and the arena battles, the first two stages were all set by each Governor.
The questions and the criteria for passing the questions represented the Governor's preferences.
'The Governor is also a human, so he'll naturally have his preferences. Some like to fight head-on, some like to scheme and scheme, some like to hide and deal a killing blow, some like to fight head-on, and some like to be sneaky …
'Every Governor's preferences are different, so their evaluations of the examinees in the first two stages would naturally be different as well.'
Rota understood very well that if she wanted to gain an advantage in the first two stages, she would have to understand Governor Devitt's character and preferences. This was to try to figure out the examiner's intentions.
Rota had naturally tried to figure out Devitt's intentions. She knew that he hated those who did not put in much effort in battles, and that he liked Knights who dared to fight valiantly and led the way.
This was called trying to figure out the higher-ups' intentions.
On the other side, Manny displayed his true prowess for the first time in front of everyone. He did not use any weapons or defensive equipment, only striking out with his pair of claws. Each time he struck out, his palms would bring up hints of gravitational waves, and every ferocious beast that he had targeted would fall to the ground, either with their internal organs damaged or their bones shattered.
In any case, he had crippled a large number of ferocious beasts and kept them by his side.
Manny thought to himself, 'I wonder how many people have realized that there's a limit to the number of ferocious beasts. As the number of ferocious beasts we kill continues to increase, and as the smell of the beast luring incense gets weaker, the ferocious beasts around us will also get lesser and lesser. By then, the person who can maintain the rhythm of killing one ferocious beast every ten minutes will be able to last till the end.'
