Chapter 319 Cruel Competition System, Sea of Steel, Students’ Plan (4K)
Zhuang Qiu was lying on the ground almost naked. Starting from the palm he had just held with Xue Jing, his skin showed a spiral pattern that made his scalp numb.
Everyone at the scene saw this scene, including the members of the Zhige base who were watching, with strange expressions.
I wanted to laugh a little, I was a little embarrassed for the vice-captain, and I was amazed at the young man in front of me.
The result of this strength competition was an undoubted crushing.
There is no sign of an even match. This is a result that can only occur when there is an absolute gap in strength.
Although it is just a competition of strength... strength itself is a very important part of martial arts strength.
There is such a huge gap in the most basic "hard power", no one would think that it is possible for Zhuang Qiu to beat Xue Jing in a real fight.
Not to mention, everyone present is a master of martial arts with extraordinary eyesight. Xue Jing's exquisite power control that makes Zhuang Qiu's whole figure spin with a twist of his wrist is obviously not only powerful but also extremely powerful in other aspects. Remarkable.
"...Awesome."
Squadron Leader Yang Yingyu looked at Xue Jing and involuntarily narrowed his eyes.
As a limit-breaking master, he was the only one present who could almost see through Xue Jing's move.
In terms of pure basic strength, Zhuang Qiu, who had practiced the new martial arts and alienated his body, was above this young man.
However, this young man showed an irrationality that was difficult for him to understand at the level of luck.
Compressing strength to increase output... This is not a rare technique, but basically any master who understands luck can do it, but the level of proficiency varies.
But no matter how proficient you are, you still have to follow the basic rules.
The human body has its limits. No matter how proficient in moving strength, the dangerous operation of compressing strength must take into account the endurance of the physical strength.
But this boy... is weird.
With his physical strength, if the maximum force compression degree that an ordinary person can theoretically achieve is 1, this boy can at least achieve 3...
Far beyond the theoretical limits of the normal human body.
If it weren't for the fact that the information clearly stated that he was practicing old martial arts and that the physical alienation rate was less than 1%, Yang Yingyu would have thought that he was practicing some abnormal new martial arts and banned martial arts.
'But I heard that he is still the chosen son of God... There should be some reason for this. ’
After thinking for a while, and generally finding a reasonable reason from the unreasonable, Yang Yingyu shook his head, raised his foot and kicked Zhuang Qiu, who was still lying on the ground.
"Where are you leaving this ball? You haven't gotten up yet."
Yang Yingyu said calmly.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes focused on Zhuang Qiu.
"..."
After a few seconds, he moved his fingers slightly, then groaned. As if he had just woken up, he slowly propped himself up, sat up, and covered his head with his palms.
"Ah... I feel so dizzy."
"Pa——"
Yang Yingyu slapped him on the head, causing Zhuang Qiu to stagger:
"What are you pretending to be? If you lose, you will lose. If you lose, you will be embarrassed. These are nothing. The important thing is that you have to face your own shame when you are embarrassed. This is what a man in the seventh metropolitan area should be like."
The corner of Zhuang Qiu's mouth moved: "I'm just taking it easy for a while."
With that said, he stood up and limped to Xue Jing. He gasped as he walked: "Hiss...it hurts so much."
The skin all over his body was hot and tight, as if it had been bitten by countless pliers and twisted hard...
Zhuang Qiu gave Xue Jing a thumbs up, trembling slightly.
"This level...is completely enough, I approve of you!"
Xue Jing glanced at him: "I don't need your approval...Vice Captain Zhuang, do you have any other advice?"
Zhuang Qiu was also a big-hearted person. He seemed to have let go of his shame after saying it. He was naked and put his hands on his hips and said carelessly:
"What advice do you need? Our seventh metropolitan area has always respected the strong. There are no other bad rules. You are better than me...you are better than me. It's my turn to ask for your advice."
Xue Jing nodded and said with a smile: "It's good. I like this too... I feel like I will fit in this place very well."
……
After that, Xue Jing communicated with a group of people from Zhige Base for a long time and found that these people in the seventh metropolitan area seemed to be the kind of people with relatively straight minds.
What they think in their hearts and what they say in their mouths are straight forward. They are not stupid, but a way of thinking that is influenced by the overall atmosphere.
This way of thinking has also led to them being generally more exclusive, and they are very contemptuous of outsiders who always like to talk and do things in a roundabout way and have more rules... Of course, the most critical reason is that the overall force value is crushed. pressure.
The Seventh Metropolitan Circle is a very closed and extremely involuted environment. There is almost no communication with outsiders in martial arts, and they are aloof from above.
Honors gained outside the circle are not easy to use here. Even if it is a big name like Xue Jing, who is known as the strongest champion in U19 history, people in the seventh metropolitan area will have an instinctive contempt after hearing about it.
It's nothing but being king on a monkey mountain without tigers.
This is why Zhuang Qiu provoked Xue Jing. A minor outsider turned against Tiangang and came to the seventh metropolitan area to be an examiner for the martial arts exam. Who could bear this?
However, the stereotypes that people in the seventh metropolitan area have about outsiders are all based on the crushing force value.
A beating and it was cured.
Zhuang Qiu was able to help Xue Jing this time, giving him unintentional power and gaining recognition from all the staff at Yincheng Zhige Base, thus virtually avoiding a lot of trouble in the future.
After moving into the Zhige base and being assigned to a large single-family home, Xue Jing and Ning Yuantai went to the 'Examination Room No. 9' together.
This time Ning Yuantai was driving a black SUV with a special license plate with military characters. I don’t know what brand the car was, but it looked very high-end anyway.
On the way, Ning Yuantai asked casually while driving:
"Brother Xue, the specific details of the exam should have been sent to you, right? What is the situation?"
Xue Jing was sitting in the passenger seat, flipping through her phone with her phone in her hand. She nodded when she heard this and said:
"It has been sent...just as you thought, it is a 'joint examination'."
Ning Yuantai scratched his head: "As expected... I know you were transferred to the seventh metropolitan area for no good."
In the joint examination, students from multiple examination rooms are put together into a controlled boundary area to engage in a battle royale-like activity.
Although the rules of each joint examination are different, without exception, they are cruel and dangerous tests with extremely high casualty rates.
"For this martial arts test, there are a total of seventy-nine examination rooms in Yincheng. Among them, No. 9, No. 29, No. 36, No. 41, and No. 52 will be held together with the examination rooms in other cities in the inner ring. City Joint Examination.”
"The location is... at the junction of G651 - the 'Sea of Steel Trees'."
Xue Jing looked through the information sent on her phone and read.
"Ah? It's actually this place?" Ning Yuantai said in surprise.
"I'll go...the government of the seventh metropolitan area is going to play hard."
Xue Jing had not yet climbed over to the back where there was information about the ‘Sea of Steel Trees’. Hearing this, he looked at Ning Yuantai and asked:
"Why, this place is special?"
Ning Yuantai nodded and said: "To be precise, each border area is basically quite special... The Sea of Steel's Trees has a particularly harsh environment."
Xue Jing put her hand on the edge of the car window and tapped it with her index finger: "Tell me about it."
"Although the environment in this place... is not as extreme as that of the 'Burning Garden' where the normal temperature is over 300 degrees, the climate is even quite suitable for human survival." "But the key is that there... there is nothing that anyone can eat."
Ning Yuantai sighed.
"The Sea of Steel Trees is a world full of 'iron'... The earth is an aggregate of metal minerals, and the creatures are all 'iron-based creatures' whose existence is difficult to understand. There are Transformers-like gadgets everywhere. …”
"Even the plants are all 'iron-based plants'. You can see the miracle of blooming iron trees casually there. This is also the origin of the name 'Sea of Steel Trees'."
Xue Jing looked strange: "It's already an 'iron base', can it still be called a 'plant'?"
Ning Yuantai explained: "After all, their external appearance is very similar to the plants on the earth and planet... There is currently no other suitable name."
"In short...that place is not suitable for humans."
"In other words, any carbon-based organisms that require metabolic cycles are not suitable for the Sea of Steel Trees. There are no carbon-based organisms there that can eat anything that can be digested."
Xue Jing thoughtfully said: "That's it."
He vaguely understood what the person who designed this exam wanted to do.
"Since the Sea of Steel Sea of Trees has been chosen as the exam location, there must be a rule not to bring too much food in."
Ning Yuantai asserted.
"It's probably going to be a situation where each person can only bring one piece of food, and they will finish it quickly, and then they have to grab other people's food."
"This is forcing students to kill each other... The martial arts test in the Seventh Metropolitan Area is still the same."
Xue Jing scrolled down a few pages of information and saw on the rules introduction page that 'Each candidate and examiner are only allowed to bring one piece of officially distributed food, and are not allowed to hide any edible substances privately. A thorough search will be conducted before admission.' entry.
Xue Jing pinched her chin, her eyes flickered, and she thought of something...
But without thinking about it for the time being, Xue Jing said:
"This arrangement is very interesting."
"The situation of completely insufficient food will intensify many difficulties."
"It's not just the question of how to eat enough, but also all kinds of choices that test the wisdom of the mind. It can really train people. The martial arts test in the seventh metropolitan area is indeed something."
The appetite of martial arts masters is very exaggerated.
Energy will not disappear or be created out of thin air. A martial artist's expressive power is so powerful that it can rival Superman, which requires a huge supply of energy.
Some powerful warriors with advanced realms can go without eating, drinking or sleeping for ten and a half months or even several months, but the prerequisite for doing so is - without consumption.
That means not using force.
Once there is a fight with someone, the energy in the warrior's body will be quickly depleted. No matter how powerful the warrior is, if he is allowed to do such a thing after fighting with all his strength, he will starve to death in a short time.
Normally, you can bring some special pills and liquids with high nutrition and energy to help you, but the exam rules require that students and examiners are not allowed to bring any edible substances without permission.
In this way, candidates within the Sea of Steel Tree will have to make a choice.
When facing other candidates, if you take action, is the food you grab worth compared to the energy you need to expend to fight?
If you don't take action, what will the other party think?
Food, consumption, scores, suspicions... all kinds of complicated situations, even if the candidates in the seventh metropolitan area are really confused, their heads will be itchy and their brains will grow.
"But... the situation here is different."
Xue Jing smiled.
"We'll see when the time comes... Let's meet these students first."
The car drove smoothly to the examination room No. 9.
According to the information Xue Jing saw, the joint examination will start tomorrow.
After starting, the examiner will first conduct three days of training with the students to cultivate tacit understanding, discuss plans, and other arrangements.
Three days later, it will be time to officially enter the border area, the Sea of Steel Trees, where a seven-day examination will be held.
At this point in time, students who attach great importance to this martial arts test should have arrived at the examination room in advance.
……
Yincheng, martial arts examination room No. 9, Xuanwu Mansion.
This is a mansion built by Yincheng officials specifically to house the annual martial arts examination candidates. At the gate is a basalt stone statue more than three meters high. A turtle and a snake are intertwined into one. It is quite artistic and seems to have been created by a master. Handwriting.
At this time, several boys and girls were gathering together in the open space of the training ground inside the mansion.
"How about, my plan?"
One of the round-faced boys looked around at everyone and said.
"Are you sure you can do it? That person is known as the 'strongest in history' outside. Isn't it difficult to handle?"
The girl with thick eyebrows said with a worried look.
"Hmph, it's just a competition of 'the strongest in history'. If this kind of competition is placed in our seventh metropolitan area, no one will take a look at it. It's not worth mentioning at all."
"This exam is obviously very crucial for us, but the higher-ups suddenly arranged for an outsider to be our examiner. He is still a minor... He is really sick. Before, I thought it would be at least Wu Yinglong or Gongsun Cheng. ...No matter how bad it is, it will still be Ye Tianling!”
The round-faced boy said dissatisfied.
"Without good examiners, we definitely won't get any good scores and won't be able to go to those universities... This is simply a joke on our future!"
"We must prove that this person named Xue Jing is not capable of leading us and force the superiors to change the examiner, otherwise we will be delayed for a lifetime!"
He looked at another young man who looked a bit sinister, glared at him, and asked:
"He Han, what did you say?"
The young man named He Han looked innocent: "Can I not participate?"
After a pause, he explained: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's mainly because I've just started a new game in Bode 3 and I'm in a hurry. Can I do it tomorrow?"
The round-faced boy narrowed his eyes and said: "What nonsense are you talking about...Forget it, I didn't count on you anyway. If you don't want to fuck you, just leave."
He Han heard this and stood up without hesitation and walked out: "Then I'll sneak some of my brothers away~"
"Wait a minute."
The round-faced boy looked at his back, narrowed his eyes and said:
"You won't tell the truth, will you?"
He Han turned around and said, "What are you talking about? I, He Han, have a very tight mouth, even tighter than Zhou Gongjin. I am well-known in the world. How could I do such a thing!"
The round-faced boy nodded and said: "That's good."
