The second largest group was located in the south of the plaza. The leader was Gujia, whom Aoki knew. There were many strong people gathered around him. When Aoki looked over, his eyes met with Gujia's, who had been staring at him for a long time. Gujia smiled evilly at Aoki, then turned to look elsewhere.
Aoki did not pay much attention to Gujia.
After waiting for the mysterious person to sit down, Viper began to observe the situation in the plaza. After seeing everyone's expression, he nodded his head in satisfaction. Now, everyone's expressions and actions resembled that of a participant. A week ago, they were completely like children playing house.
Viper completely ignored the decrease in the number of people.
According to the previous years, the number of people this time was still considered high, and it was already considered a batch with better quality. In the end, only fifty people would be able to walk out. However, this was only the upper limit. After so many trials, there had never been a time when the number of people reached fifty. Even the lowest batch only had twenty people.
Now that they had gone through the beginning, which was also the most difficult time, there were still a hundred and twenty people left. Viper was already very satisfied.
He gave a look to his subordinate beside him, indicating that the second test could begin.
The content and method of the second test was almost the same as the first. It was also testing the attack value. Although this kind of test could not completely reflect a participant's strength, if even the attack value could not reach the standard, how could there be strength?
Under the explanation of the tester, Aoki understood that although this test was exactly the same as the first, there was an additional interesting rule. That was, the last place in the future tests would be directly eliminated.
Instantly, the plaza was in an uproar. The last place in the test would be directly eliminated?
Aoki frowned slightly. This kind of rule was a direct hit to those who wanted to take advantage of this small loophole.
Although only fifty people could pass the final test, not everyone who failed would lose their lives. Obviously, the Rocket Team would not do this kind of loss-making business.
As long as they could survive until the end and their strength reached the standard, they could still start from the lowest level of servant. Although there would not be any more resources, at least they could keep their lives, right? Moreover, if he could catch the eye of some big shots, he might be able to take another step forward.
But now, because of the addition of this rule, those who wanted to rely on the strong and stay in the base to survive until the end of the trial were chained up with a merciless iron chain. As long as he was careless and fell behind, he would be obliterated.
Just like a flock of sheep on the grassland, when being chased by a lion, the slowest one would always be the first to die. Therefore, the flock of sheep would run faster and faster. No one wanted to be the last one.
The survival of the fittest in nature. Right now, the Rocket Team was like a lion on the prairie, and the trial takers were like a flock of sheep. Whoever fell behind would be the food.
The clamor in the square grew louder and louder. The most anxious ones were the weak ones.
"Shut up!" Viper furrowed his brows and shouted angrily. As an expert who had crawled out from countless corpses, what he hated the most was the moaning of the weak. "If you don't want to take the test, then don't take the test. All of you will be dealt with as the last one!"
Following Viper's anger, the people who were discussing crazily immediately fell silent. No one wanted to provoke this big shot who held their lives in his hands.
Under the arrangement of the Rocket Team's soldiers, they braced themselves and began to line up. However, no one wanted to be the first, because being the first represented the unknown. Who knew if the people behind would be higher than them?
Seeing that the test was delayed, Viper's face turned gloomy.
Noticing Viper's expression, the Rocket Team's soldiers immediately increased the strength of their hands. The way they looked at the trial takers also became fierce. They understood the terror of the venomous snake even better than the trial-takers who still had some experience.
"Tsk, why are you dawdling? I'll go first." The one who spoke was Guja. His face was full of disdain as he walked to the front of the line with his Abba Snake.
Because there was someone to be the first, the people behind also gradually lined up under the arrangement.
In fact, for the strong, it didn't matter at all where they were placed.
According to the Rocket Team's arrangement, Aoki was arranged to be at the back of the line.
"Now, the test begins!" Standing beside the trial stone, the person in charge of hosting said.
As the first to reject outsiders, Guja did not hesitate at all as he walked up to the stage step by step. Abba Snake stuck out its tongue and followed closely beside him.
As a ferocious little elf, Abba Snake constantly emitted a dangerous aura.
"Abba Snake, use bite!"
"Hiss!" Abba Snake stuck out its tongue and its coiled body suddenly shot out. Its two fangs were suffused with a black light as it bit down on the trial stone explosively. After one attack, it suddenly withdrew without any hesitation.
Abba Snake's execution efficiency was meticulous. After one attack, it would definitely retreat. It could be seen that although Guja was flamboyant, his training of elves was still worthy of recognition.
"Attack value: 258!" Under the astonished gaze of the host, Guja and Abba Snake's data were reported.
Instantly, there was an uproar below the stage.
"As expected of Boss Guja, his attack value actually reached 258. It's almost three times higher than the first time when it was 98 points." Below the stage, one of Guja's subordinates could not help but praise.
"F * ck, it's already so high the moment it came up!" Another person exclaimed.
"Hiss, this is troublesome." At the same time, there were also people who felt the pressure.
In the midst of everyone's discussion, the corner of Guja's mouth rose as he slowly walked down the stage.
Next, according to the order of the queue, they went up to take the test one by one.
After taking the test, there were those who were happy and excited, and there were also those who were sad and upset.
Every time someone went up to take the test and found out that their current results were at the bottom, they would be like dead ashes. Their hands would be tightly clenched together, and their foreheads would be covered in sweat. Their eyes would stare at the people taking the test one by one on the stage, and they would constantly shout in their hearts, hoping that someone with a lower result would appear soon.
And at this time, if someone with a lower result appeared, that person would feel as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and he would almost fall to the ground. And the person who replaced him at the bottom would repeat his previous actions, constantly hoping that someone with a lower result would appear.
More and more trial-takers had taken the test. Currently, the first place was still Guja, who had a score of 258 points. The second place was the girl who had previously stood in the western corner of the plaza, who had a huge Supersonic Bat, with a score of 227 points. Her name was also known from the way others addressed her: Jasmine.
The third place was a lone traveler with a common face. His sprite was an Aardwolf, and his score was 225. As a lone traveler, his score was only two points lower than the second place Jasmine, which shocked a lot of people.
The fourth place was the youth who Aoki had previously beaten into a smiling tiger. This youth always had a sunny smile on his face, which also confused everyone. His name was Soros, and his sprite was a gas bomb. His score was 215 points.
Soros relied on his sunny appearance to attract a few trial-takers who were originally lone travelers to join his small team. He could also be considered a group of subordinates who were laughing at him.
After that, there were no more surprising results. Finally, it was Aoki's turn to take the test.
When Guja, who was waiting at the side, saw that the one taking the test was Aoki, he put away his contemptuous smile, and his expression became serious.
Even Viper and the mysterious person, who were sitting in the stands, focused slightly. What kind of result would this youth, who had surprised everyone, achieve?
As Aoki went on stage, a few people recognized him.
"It's him, the one who got second place through some tricks last time!" After recognizing Aoki, someone immediately shouted.
"So it's him, I wonder what his result will be today."
"Tch, what result can he get? Those tricks are useless now," someone said with a sour tone. For the first test, Aoki had gotten second place through tricks, causing him to fall from tenth place to eleventh place, missing out on a hundred points.
"That Dark Crow isn't weak." At the same time, those with sharp eyes could see that the Dark Crow was definitely not weak, just from its size.
Ignoring all the discussions, Aoki said, "Dark Crow, full power, wing attack!"
"Caw!" Hearing this, the Dark Crow flapped its wings, cried out loudly, and leapt up. Under its control, a surge of flight energy condensed on its wings.
"Bang!" Without any pause, and without using any tricks, the Dark Crow's wing attack landed solidly on the Trial Stone.
After a moment, a line of words appeared on the Trial Stone, "Attack: 265."
When the host saw this result, he unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. After pausing for a few seconds, he shouted, "Attack: 265, current first place, next!"
"Hiss!" In an instant, there were sounds of people sucking in cold air.
"265! F * ck, could it be that the Trial Stone malfunctioned? "Suddenly, someone cursed.
In their impression, Aoki had always been an opportunist who got second place in the first test. His true strength was only on par with them. But this time, everyone's eyes fell out of their sockets. One must know that Aoki was a lone wolf. He didn't have any subordinates to help him find all kinds of resources, completely relying on himself to grow.
Seeing Aoki's result, Gu Jia was also shocked. He had fought with Aoki once and knew that Aoki wasn't an opportunist, but a person with true strength. Although he thought that he had already paid attention to Aoki, he didn't expect that his result would be higher than his own.
"Could it be that the wilderness can really make people grow so fast?" Gu Jia was also a little doubtful of his own methods. Was it better to gather a group of people to help him grow? Or was it better to go out to the wilderness to gain experience?
