In the first round of assessment, there were 100,000 candidates in the entire Greatwood City.
In the second round of assessment, there were only 10,000 candidates left.
In the third round of assessment, there were only 1,000 candidates left.
In the face of such cruel elimination, Yan Guilai frowned.
Although he was the top of the list and no matter who was eliminated, it would not be his turn. However, Yan Guilai still felt that this method of selection was very inappropriate.
Although this kind of selection could definitely pick out talents, the real top geniuses would almost certainly be exposed.
The first two rounds of assessment were passable. Although Yan Guilai felt that it was not very strict, at least it was acceptable.
However, in the third round of assessment, he did not understand at all.
Out of the 1,000 candidates, 900 of them would be eliminated. Only the last 100 candidates would be left to participate in the nationwide Thousand Cities Examination as the candidates of Greatwood City.
What Yan Guilai did not understand was that the third round of assessment was actually a ranking competition!
The so-called ranking competition had a total of 10 arenas. All candidates would take turns to challenge each other according to the number of the previous assessment. The winner would gain one point and the loser would lose one point. The one who accumulated 10 points first would be ranked first.
Although according to past experience, the higher the level of the alchemist, the stronger they would be, it was obviously not appropriate to make such a reverse reasoning.
The higher the level of the alchemist, the stronger they would be. This logic was valid.
However, this did not mean that the stronger the alchemist, the more likely they would be to become a high-level alchemist.
In fact, it was the opposite. He knew from Shangguan Qianqiu that no one was perfect.
The real super geniuses were outstanding in one aspect but had serious shortcomings in other aspects. Especially in terms of strength, not only were they not strong, but they were also very weak.
What really allowed these alchemy geniuses to rise quickly was the combination of their alchemy talent and the rapid acquisition of high-quality, high-density dense Pill Qi.
Thus, towards this third round of examination, Swallow Return completely did not understand and was unable to accept it.
This superfluous third round of assessment directly eliminated all the real geniuses. None of them would be able to enter the nationwide Thousand Cities Examination.
However, thinking about it carefully, this was actually a helpless move. After all, the assessment had to be carried out and the elimination had to be completed.
In the end, only 100 people could enter the National Thousand Cities Examination.
Therefore, no one knew who it was that came up with such a specious assessment method.
Although Yan Guilai shook his head incessantly in his heart, as an examinee, the only thing he could do was to adapt to the rules and not set the rules.
Regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, as long as one wanted to enter Aoki University, they had to pass the test.
After receiving the wooden sword for the competition, Yan Guilai, as the number one seed, was the first to step onto the first arena.
Behind him, Chu Xingtian, Dongfang Jun, and the others who were ranked in the top ten had all become seeds and stepped onto the ten arenas. Next … they would face the challenges of everyone.
Standing on the first arena, Yan Guilai turned his head to look at Chu Xingtian on the second arena.
Chu Xingtian proudly crossed his arms. His tall and slender figure stood straight as a pencil.
Now, Yan Guilai finally understood why he was so confident in the last round.
If it was specifically for the competition in the arena, then he would only need to release it and not withdraw it. With the explosive flames, it would be enough to directly defeat the opponent. Why would he need to control it?
Sighing and shaking his head, Yan Guilai no longer paid attention to Chu Xingtian. No matter what, he just needed to do his own thing. He, Yan Guilai, did not need to compete with anyone. As long as he did his own limit, it was enough.
After three days of hard work, Yan Guilai had now reached the sixth layer of Spirit Gathering.
Among them, with the help of the dense pill aura, Yan Guilai had advanced by one layer. Then … he had successfully refined the Perfect Body Tempering Pill and advanced by another layer.
Therefore, although it had only been three days, Yan Guilai's strength had advanced by two layers within three days!
Now, Yaf and Yanni were once again filled with dense pill aura. They were both happy and helpless, so they went into seclusion again and began to bitterly absorb the accumulated pill aura in their bodies.
The two sisters were extremely envious of Yan Guilai. No matter how much pill aura there was, Yan Guilai would still absorb it. Moreover, his digestion and absorption were especially fast.
Just after absorbing the dense pill aura, Yan Guilai's strength rapidly increased. The digestion and absorption were completed almost instantaneously. There was no need for any process at all.
Finally, with the start of the assessment, the eleventh candidate stepped onto the first arena.
Facing the champion of the first two rounds, Yan Guilai's opponent was obviously very wary. He slowly circled around Yan Guilai, not daring to attack rashly.
Overlord Fist — Tyrannical Rampage!
Boom!
Just as Swallow Return and his opponent entered a stalemate, an intense explosion rang out. On the second stage, Chu Xingtian had already sent his opponent flying off the stage with a tyrannical strike.
Feeling the raging fire energy in the second arena, Yan Guilai couldn't help but sigh. It was obvious … that Chu Xingtian wanted to fight for first place.
Even though Chu Xingtian had obtained first place in this round, he was still below Yan Guilai in terms of total points.
However, no matter when, no matter who he faced, Yan Guilai couldn't easily give up the throne of first place. No one … could suppress him!
Taking a deep breath, Yan Guilai's figure flashed. He leaped forward and stabbed at his opponent.
Facing Yan Guilai's lightning-fast sword, his opponent clenched his teeth and stared at Yan Guilai with a sharp gaze. Then, he stabbed his sword at Yan Guilai's eyes.
Although they were both using wooden swords, if one's eyes were pierced, one could still die.
In comparison, Yan Guilai's sword was aimed at his opponent's chest. Even if it hit, it would be very difficult to cause any damage.
It was obvious that his opponent wanted to use a vicious attack to force Yan Guilai to dodge, or to pull back his sword to save himself.
If Yan Guilai ignored him, then when Yan Guilai stabbed his opponent, his opponent would also stab his eyes!
Faced with this scene, Yan Guilai couldn't help but narrow his eyes. His body swayed like a willow branch, and after a snake-like movement, he directly avoided the sword stabbing at his eyes. At the same time, the wooden sword in Yan Guilai's hand swung out horizontally.
Pa!
Amidst the crisp sound, Yan Guilai's wooden sword flattened and fiercely slapped his opponent's face, causing him to see stars.
Although his opponent still had the strength to fight, according to the rules of the competition, he had already lost and lost the right to continue the challenge.
Overlord Fist Art — — Domination!
Boom!
Just as Yan Guilai's first opponent left the arena and his second opponent was about to enter the arena, Chu Xingtian once again used the Overlord Fist Art and blasted his second opponent out of the arena.
