Chapter 459 Semester Assessment Trial
Time flies, and it turns into several months before I realize it.
Ji Xun came to the Royal Academy for the extraordinary knowledge in the library.
So he gave up almost all unnecessary social activities.
No dances, no dinner parties, no participation in any extraordinary clubs
Everyday life is almost a matter of two points and one line between the library and the teaching building.
Every day he is immersed in the ocean of books, absorbing a vast amount of extraordinary knowledge like a whale.
However, the collection of books in the Royal Academy is too many.
Even if there is a clone, Ji Xun feels that it may take hundreds of years for him to finish reading.
The good news is that although the Royal Academy has countless books, it is also very orderly.
This is the result compiled by countless predecessors of the academy over two thousand years.
The books on the bookshelf are not like sand, giving people a messy feeling.
But the same as "tree".
The hundreds of millions of books in the entire library are divided into categories.
A category is a big tree.
Like fire spells, this is a big category, like "tree trunk".
Then there are many "branches", such as element theory, spell structure, curse seal, incantation, enchantment, mystery, etc.
Finally, there are various spells that are as colorful as "leaves".
The entire library is a forest of knowledge.
Each category has detailed notes from some authoritative card masters in this field, as well as labels from librarians to guide readers on how to choose the direction they need.
This greatly improves the book-finding and reading efficiency of students who come to the library.
Ji Xun’s understanding is extremely high, and his ontological realm is also very high.
Read those basic classics and you will know almost everything.
For many categories of books, after reading the general outline and then finding a few representative works, you can basically understand the general framework of this type of knowledge.
Coupled with his photographic memory and multi-tasking ability to read multiple classics at the same time, he has read a large number of books in the past few months.
He has roughly covered almost every category in the library.
When you see your own shortcomings and those you are interested in, learn more about it, even if it is literature, art, and history.
The legend of the Southern Continent is the origin of the Kashi civilization, although it is not as old as the old one. The Talon Empire is as glorious as the mainland, but in terms of historical depth, it far exceeds the old continent.
These classics contain a large amount of knowledge about chronological civilizations that Ji Xun has never heard of before.
Doxian Civilization, Lordaeron Civilization, Alterac Ruins Civilization, and Ancient Rodami River Civilization.
All kinds of ancient documents that I saw when I visited the Adventurer Market in previous seasons can be found in the library.
These classics are like the mysterious veil shrouding the world, being lifted layer by layer.
Visibly, Ji Xun understood more about the world.
Because Ji Xun spent a long time in the library, he gradually lost his sense of presence in the college.
In contrast, the reputations of the other members of Team 16 of the Langdon Family are becoming more and more famous among the freshmen of the college.
Especially David, Gang Duoduo, and Seri.
After successfully changing jobs, their strength and talent have truly exploded.
Because of the "S-level" evaluation in the trial when they entered school, several people have been challenged.
This high-intensity challenging rhythm gave them valuable practical experience. In addition, there are magical mystical skills and 100,000 credits as rewards for starting school, which allows them to grow at an astonishing rate compared to other students.
Even the nun group Zhuosha and the assassin Gale are among the best in their profession.
This day.
Ji Xun walked out of the library.
At the entrance of the library, five teammates who had been blocking the door early saw him immediately and greeted him enthusiastically: "Hey, Su Lun, we are here!"
Ji Xunxiao He walked over and said hello: "Are you all here?"
Hearing this, Seri complained: "You guys are really serious. You didn't even prepare for the semester trial today, and you still stayed in it." Library? ”
Ji Xun chuckled when he heard this, "A trial is a trial, what's there to prepare for?"
Even though this guy has a lizard face, he is more innocent at heart than most human beings.
Hearing this, Zhuo Sha’s face under the black and white nun’s hood showed a faint smile, and said: "That’s right. For others, this kind of trial must be well prepared. But for [ Erudite], just read in the library and get ready."
"Haha."
Ji Xun smiled noncommittally.
This "polymath" is joking, but also serious.
Now the teammates are very familiar with each other, and their tone of voice is not unfamiliar.
As soon as these words came out, the teammates responded with smiles.
“Yes.”
“Haha, others think that our Langdon Team 16 is probably David, or maybe Seri and Duoduo. But let me tell you, I think Su Lun is amazing. This guy knows everything. I don’t know how he can lose. It’s a pity that no one comes to challenge him.”
"He spends time in the library every day. It's weird to find him. But having said that, we have to give full play to this trial. I heard that there are generous rewards for the top few. Come on, let's quickly go to the back mountain to assemble. Otherwise, the instructor will punish you if you are late."
"Don't be so anxious. If Su Lun comes out at this time, we will definitely not be late."
" ."
Ji Xun just smiled as he listened.
As his teammates said, in fact, the most powerful person in their team is of course him.
However, his teammates didn't really see his strength, but it came from the tacit understanding of the team.
Only teammates who have participated in team trials together know how lucky it is to have a teammate who "knows everything".
From the entrance test and the assassination, to the awards competition and team training.
It’s just once, it’s the same every time.
No matter what situation he encounters, he can come up with reasonable and even refreshing tactics; no matter what kind of mechanisms, restrictions, spells and magic, he knows a thing or two; especially in theory classes, he can always deliver Perfect answer sheet.
This guy perfectly explained the outrageousness of the [Eruditionist] career sequence.
Although Ji Xun's performance in the battle was not outstanding, his teammates had no doubt that this guy must be very powerful.
David felt the most deeply.
As a slave, he cannot enjoy any teaching resources, so in the past few months, almost all the problems he encountered in practice were solved by Ji Xun.
Although he didn't know how clever those things Ji Xun pointed out were.
But he can understand [Hegemony Fist], and he has a clear heart of martial arts.
He could intuitively feel through martial arts that this teammate was really special.
He is confident that he can fight any card master of the same level he has seen. Even if he loses, he knows where he will lose.
However, when seeing Ji Xun, David always felt elusive and didn't even know how to make a move.
It seems that no matter what moves you make, the other party will definitely predict them.
This was a sense of oppression that he could not feel from any student of the same level.
Of course Ji Xun knew that David would notice the difference in him.
The initial plan was to be a completely transparent person and just hang out in the library.
Later I found out that David was a disciple of Gong Wu, so I gave him a hint.
As long as there is a purpose, there will of course be flaws in the causal line.
But it's not a big problem.
The "powerfulness" perceived by teammates is still within a reasonable range.
Moreover, this impression allowed Ji Xun to perform better in this assessment.
That’s right.
These days are the midterm trials of the college.
It's said to be a trial, but it's actually an assessment.
Just like the exam in the previous life, this is the activity that students are most looking forward to and most anxious about.
After studying at the college for one year, it’s time to check your learning results.
What I look forward to is that, just like the entrance examination, there will also be surprise rewards in the examination. This is one of the most important ways for students to obtain a large number of credits;
What is uneasy is that, There is a death quota for this kind of assessment.
Every year, many unlucky people, or guys who are lazy in their studies, die suddenly in the trial.
But this is a mandatory assessment and no one can escape it.
This is true even for princes and princesses.
This is also the reason why Ji Xun didn't stay in the library all day on his rare day off.
When they arrived at Ji Xun, the team of six people walked towards the back hill of the college.
The strong strength also gave everyone confidence.
A few people have no worries about the upcoming trial, only expectations.
On the way to the back mountain, there were groups of first-year students. Everyone was going for the trial, and they were all talking about trial-related matters. "Hey, what do you think the theme of this year's trial will be? I heard from the seniors that it would be fine if it was a normal adventure mode, but if it was a war theme, many people would die in the [Tower of Babel] every year."
“Who knows. Anyway, our team’s overall strength is not strong. Even in war mode, we will not get too difficult trial tasks. But in that case, we will get fewer credits and rewards. ”
"Yes. After I accumulated those points and exchanged them for a book of arcane martial arts, I only have a few dozen points left. I'm still waiting to earn a little more from this assessment, exchange them for the permission of the 'practice room', and break through the boxing bottleneck. I hope the trial will be more difficult.”
“Look, that’s the team from Duke Langdon’s Mansion! I heard that three of those guys are in the first grade. Among the top fifty in the combat power list."
"Huh! They are just lucky nouveau riche. Isn't it because of the '100,000 credits' and the magic that they are at this level? Give it to me, I'm definitely not bad."
"."
Ji Xun and his teammates walked along, and of course they heard those gossips.
But I have long been used to it.
In the Southern Continent, being powerful is envied by others. This is something to be proud of.
Other teams may still be short of credits. Except for David, everyone in their team has a stock of 100,000 points.
It’s only been a few months and I can’t spend it all.
The dwarves are outspoken. Gang Duoduo listened to the gossip and didn't take it seriously, but he muttered as he walked: "Ah, I still have a lot of credits, and it doesn't matter what the trial rewards are. But I don't care about 'Tongtian' I’m very interested in the tower trial rankings. Do you think our team will set a new record?”
Hearing this, Seri smiled and joked: "How can I have too many credits? Just exchange for some high-end things, and tens of thousands of points will be gone. I have spent tens of thousands of points in the past few months."< br>
Sister Zhuosha also said: "Yes. After you advance to a high level, more and more credits will be needed to redeem extraordinary materials. Of course, the more credits, the better. I am preparing the materials required for the second-level job transfer materials. Yes, I've seen it. Many of the materials for Yaoyinka require tens of thousands of credits."
Gail is full of expectations for the future: "Now that the magic and mystery are available, if possible, I I also plan to redeem the legendary demon mark, but I saw that it costs hundreds of thousands of credits. I’m still trying to save it.”
Gang Duoduo: “Ah? I almost forgot, we dwarfs don’t need it. Devil's Mark. I don't need much material. I just use the 'training room' to train every day, and I can't spend it all."
Everyone: "."
Ji Xun couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
However, several other people are more or less proud.
And he is really lacking.
Others thought that he was able to stay in the independent reading room on the second floor of the library for a long time because of the 100,000 credits awarded in the semester assessment.
The reality is that those 100,000 credits are long gone.
It still took the tens of thousands of points left in Griffith's library card to last until now.
Now that several months have passed, the credits in his student card are only a few hundred points.
And he estimated that in the future, just to redeem those classics in his must-read catalog, there would still be a huge gap of hundreds of thousands of credits.
Not to mention redeeming other items.
So in this trial, Ji Xun felt that if possible, he would really get as much as possible.
The entire Royal Academy is built at the foot of the Titan Mountains.
The six of Ji Xun walked along the road paved with boulders, from the library in the center of the college, for nearly ten kilometers before arriving at the back mountain.
There is a special building that is a hundred stories high.
It has a special name that exists in mythology - the Tower of Babel!
This is another place in the Royal Academy that makes Ji Xun very curious.
Because Griffith said, this is the fragment of the inherited artifact that was trained by the Talon Dynasty Royal Academy three thousand years ago.
Ji Xun has even seen him before.
That was the "Shenxu Treasure House" that Jia Yu used to destroy the Scarlet Red and Silver Moon sects.
And this Tower of Babel is another part of the inherited artifact.
It seems that this tower is a building, but in fact, it can create a trial place that can accommodate tens of thousands of people at a time.
The trial scenes in the tower are independent magical worlds, where trialists can obtain rewards by taking risks and completing tasks.
In other words, this is an "artificial extradimensional space"!
And it is a different-dimensional space that is controllable to a certain extent.
If you really want to judge the heritage of Airel Royal Academy, this tower accounts for at least one-third.
Even many collections and treasures in the library were brought out of this tower by students.
After coming to the academy for so long, Ji Xun saw this [Babel Tower] for the first time.
Seeing this towering white tower, he narrowed his eyes slightly. While being shocked by the miraculous majesty, he also murmured in his heart: "The controllable extra-dimensional space, when we created this artifact What level of gods are there?"
Man-made creation of extra-dimensional spaces is like creating worlds one after another.
Ordinary people can’t understand it, and they won’t try to understand it.
But Ji Xun is not like that.
In the deduction of "I am the world", the logical and self-consistent virtual worlds made him seem to have glimpsed a vague shadow of the extraordinary and supreme realm.
But at the same time, he thought of another question: "It's strange, where does the energy of the Tower of Babel come from."
No matter what secret realm, it needs energy support.
Just like the battle in Innocence City, Jia Yu was able to drive the Shenxu treasure house, but he still used up the little information left by Nan Shenyu, the last priest of Talon three thousand years ago.
I used it once and now I don’t know how to use it a second time.
But now, the Tower of Babel of Airel Royal Academy opens trials to all students every year.
It lasted for thousands of years, and the energy consumed was terrifying.
So, where does the energy for this tower come from?
It seems that the top management of the college deliberately concealed this fact.
When Griffith came to be his mentor, he didn't even find out, so imagine how deep the secret is.
Of course Ji Xun became more and more curious.
As his teammates joked, Ji Xun went out in a hurry.
When he arrived, the first-year students had almost gathered.
Not long after, the deputy dean in charge of first-year studies stood on the stage and began to speak.
“Students, the assessment trial to test your learning achievements has begun”
"The theme of this year's trial is 'Ancient Civilization Exploration'. The extradimensional space opened by the Babel Tower this time is also a space rich in treasures. I hope everyone will actively explore it."
"The assessment academy will still be set up this time. The top 100 teams will receive generous rewards."
"."
Although Ji Xun was thinking about other issues. But he also listened carefully to the vice dean's trial rules.
In general, it’s pretty much what he knows.
The rules and rewards are also similar to the trials in previous years.
The trial is conducted as a team, and then points are obtained for the final ranking.
Students can not only get rewards from the trial space, but also get additional academy rewards based on their ranking.
Ji Xun estimated that for the top ten teams in the trial, the academy’s rewards would be worth more than 100,000 credits.
Although their team is very strong, it often depends on luck.
It is true that the trial in the Babel Tower is a human-controllable extra-dimensional space.
But even the hospital has only a small amount of authority to choose the difficulty and dispatch observers.
But there is no way to control the direction of the plot and the hidden risks.
This is also the reason why people die every year in the trials.
This kind of assessment trial is a very strange experience for noble students who have never participated in adventures since childhood.
But for Ji Xun, who is familiar with exploring various wild extra-dimensional spaces, there is nothing new.
In his view, this is essentially a low-level alien space that controls risks.
Not even that much of an interest.
Just as Ji Xun was thinking about it, the vice-dean in front finished speaking.
A female voice came next to my ears: "Students, everyone is ready, we are about to enter the trial space. Remember to be careful and ensure your own safety."
It was a young woman with red hair who spoke.
This is the fourth-level flame dragon girl, Chilona, the mentor and assistant of more than fifty people in Ji Xun’s team.
If Ji Xun guessed correctly, this person's identity is not just an assistant coach. But the college is still investigating the assassination of Sack, and specially arranged investigators.
In the past few months of contact, Ji Xun discovered that Chilona, through her identity as an assistant coach, had been contacting their team intentionally or unintentionally, looking for some clues.
Although the method was clever, except for Ji Xun, no one else in the team knew what was going on.
Of course the investigation was fruitless.
The other party posed no threat to him, so he ignored it.
I don’t know why, but Ji Xun had a special premonition at this critical moment of the trial.
He always felt that there seemed to be some other purpose hidden in this woman.
