Chapter 530 Rush Assessment
Douluo calendar year 2626, the first day of October.
『Lingyun City』, the main campus in the west of the city.
"I announce that the first 'Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Unified Assessment' has come to a successful conclusion!"
Ling Yi stood on the high platform, looked around the audience, and on the three Under the gaze of more than a thousand pairs of eyes, he looked calm and his voice was mellow and full of appeal: "Now, please invite the top three in the group competition, the top three in the individual competition, the first place in the blacksmithing subject, the first place in the sculpture subject, and the first place in the music subject. The first place on stage will receive the prize for this assessment! ”
As Ling Yi finished speaking, nine figures walked quickly or slowly towards the high platform under the gaze of everyone.
Looking at the nine young and energetic young people, 99% of the people in the audience were filled with envy.
Although there were only about 300 teachers and students who came to participate in the final assessment, the other city guards of [Lingyun City] were also eager for the rewards that would follow.
On the high platform, the nine people consciously took their positions according to their respective strengths and rankings. Ling Yi's eyes crossed with each of them one by one, and he saw the uncontrollable excitement and nervousness on their faces. .
Although none of these nine people have familiar faces, being able to stand out from thousands of peers is enough to prove their excellence.
Ling Yi smiled slightly, and his warm and warm aura enveloped the nine people, easing their tension. He waved to Qingqiu Xin who was not far away, and said at the same time: "Okay, first of all, the first place in the group battle. , the prize, "Millennium Ice Essence", nine drops! "
Hearing this, the captain of the 'Martial Soul Academy Team' subconsciously took a step forward.
Ling Yi took a child's fist-sized ball from the tray in Qingqiu Xin's hand. The white jade bottle was handed to the young man named Yumin in front of him.
Yumin, the martial spirit "Blood Demon Bear", is twenty-two years old and belongs to the forty-eighth level attacking spirit sect.
After getting this treasure, which was judged to be the first-class treasure by the "Record of Rare and Rare Treasures", it was still a full nine drops. Even though his grandfather was a titled Douluo-level elder of Wuhun Palace, Yu Min still had some patience. My hands couldn't help but tremble.
Without giving Yumin much time to get excited, Ling Yi said a few words of encouragement, then picked up a white jade bottle again and handed it to the second place in the team competition, the captain of the 'Tianshui Academy Team', Ji Cunxi.
Prize: "Millennium Ice Marrow", six drops.
The third place is the ‘Xingluo Royal Academy Team’, and the prize is also the ‘Millennium Ice Marrow’, but only three drops.
The top three prizes in the individual battle are "Millennium Whale Glue", and the top prizes in the three categories of forging, carving, and temperament are the "Blue Silver Grass" soul ring and self-selected soul ring with any attribute below the five thousand year level. Choose one among the spiritual soldiers.
The soul ring is easy to understand. After the three students reach the standard of soul power, they can get a "Blue Silver Grass" with an age of less than 5,000 years as an advanced soul ring, with optional attributes.
Spirit weapons are both spiritually forged magic weapons. Whether they are conventional swords, guns, axes and other weapons, or forging hammers, carving knives, and orchestral instruments, they can be specially crafted.
So, the three captains of the top three in the team battle and the top three in the individual battle each have a white jade bottle and a sandalwood box, but the first place in the three categories of forging, carving, and music is empty-handed. He just left the style of his chosen spiritual weapon on Qingqiu Xin's tray.
Well, all three of them chose the spirit weapon and gave up the "Blue Silver Grass" spirit ring.
As the awards were over, Ling Yi glanced at the eager faces of the many students below and announced again: "Others don't have to be disappointed. Although you don't have these material rewards, as a result of passing the preliminary assessment, you have succeeded. To inspire you to stand on this final stage, each of you can choose a yellow-level secret method in [Lingyun City]. Everyone who is the top three in the group battle, the top ten in the individual battle, the top three in forging, the top three in carving, the top three in music, You can choose one more Xuan-level secret method!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was silent at first, but what followed was a roar of cheers.
To this day, the secret method of [Lingyun City] has become a well-known ladder to the strong in Douluo Continent. It is known as the second path besides martial arts.
The most important thing is that this path does not conflict with the path of the martial soul master, but can actually complement each other!
The secret method of [Lingyun City] is divided into four levels and twelve levels of heaven and earth, black and yellow. The "Farmer's Three Forms" and "Basic Body Forging Technique Twelve Forms" that are now spread throughout Douluo Continent are not included in the former. In terms of grade, the latter's twelve shapes alone are not high-grade, but after the twelve shapes are combined into one, they are ranked in the lower-grade yellow grade!
"Beast Martial Soul·Xingyi Fist Frame·Ⅰ" has nine moves, each move is yellow level separately. It can not only strengthen the body, but also be used as a combat skill. It is comparable to the white tenth grade soul ring soul skill. . The levels are subdivided according to the specific effects. For example, the third form, Light as a Swallow, is classified as a low-grade yellow level, while the eighth form, Dragon Lizard Shaking Armor, is classified as a high-grade yellow level.
"Beast Martial Spirit·Xingyi Fist Frame·Ⅱ" also has nine moves. As an advanced version of "Beast Martial Spirit·Xingyi Fist Frame·Ⅰ", each move is equivalent to the yellow century-old spirit ring spirit. The skills are all at the Xuan level.
Going up to the earth level and heaven level, except for the high-level members within [Lingyun City], the outside world only knows that the corresponding secret method exists, but does not know the specific information.
Because just the secret techniques of Huang level and Xuan level are enough for hundreds of thousands of combatants in the huge [Lingyun City] to practice.
Although the threshold for practicing these secret techniques is much lower than the innate soul power of martial souls, the higher the level of the secret techniques, the more difficult it is to comprehend.
Everyone can practice the inferior "Farmer's Three Postures" and the split "Basic Exercise Technique Twelve Forms", from an 80-year-old man to a four- or five-year-old boy. , can learn and start practicing.
But starting from "Beast Martial Soul·Xingyi Fist Frame·I", without a certain physical strength, a certain talent and wisdom, it is really impossible to learn.
In addition, in addition to the early "Beast Martial Spirit: Xingyi Fist Frame", the current secret method of [Lingyun City] is also filled with "Weapon Martial Spirit: Eighteen Weapons", "Drawing Sword Technique", and "Qianjun Stick Technique" , "Thirteen Spears to Break the Formation", "Mountain-Opening Ax Technique"... everything from low-grade Huang level to high-grade Xuan level.
"Nixing~" Ling Yi told the young man holding a spear at the edge of the high platform: "In a while, your team and Mo Yuxiong's team will arrange people to take these students to the library in the city. After they have chosen the secret method they want to learn, take them back here and select the corresponding personnel from the city guard to guide them..."
"Yes!" Ni Xing promised loudly. , and then waved the war spear in his hand, signaling his teammates to go and notify the Mo Yuxiong team on duty on the other side.
Immediately afterwards, Ni Xing himself strode forward and came to Yumin, the captain of the 'Martial Soul Academy Team'. His eyes swept over Ji Cunxi and others beside him, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Trouble. Call your teammates and other qualified people, I will take you out first!"
Obviously, Ni Xing is preparing his own team with the top talents who can learn Xuan-level secrets! Taking the first step, the remaining two hundred or so students will be handed over to Mo Yuxiong. Not to mention that Mo Yuxiong got the news afterwards and secretly cursed the star-defying chicken thief. Ling Yi himself took the teachers from various major colleges to the city lord's mansion to discuss the first 'Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy' We will discuss some issues that arise during the unified assessment and make corresponding arrangements for the second session.
To be honest, Ling Yi is actually not very satisfied with this first unified assessment.
No matter the quality of the personnel, the assessment items, or the final prize, they did not meet his initial expectations.
First of all, in terms of personnel quality, because the true purpose of [Lingyuncheng] is uncertain, although major colleges and universities have sent outstanding students to participate in the assessment, except for a few, most colleges will eventually Excellent talents were retained.
You must know that the most outstanding geniuses are basically accepted as disciples by the teachers of the college. They will most likely stay in the college and become the new teachers or even leaders of the college.
The Soul Master Academy in Douluo Continent is actually more like a loosely managed sect.
For those students with ordinary qualifications, adhering to the principle of casting a wide net, as long as they meet the admission conditions, they will not be rejected, and then unified teaching will be provided.
But for these students with average potential, the college will basically not pay too much attention. The teachers and even the deans of the college will pay attention to the students with outstanding talents and take them first. For disciples and direct descendants, vigorously cultivate their talents and increase the voice of their own department in the college.
Of course, academies such as [Tian Dou Royal Academy], [Star Luo Royal Academy], and Four Elements Academy also have the attribute of a platform for exchanges between the descendants and second generations of various forces.
In addition, it also has the role of selecting outstanding talents, but it has changed from a teacher recruiting disciples to a young master and a young lady making brothers and sisters and recruiting followers.
Under such circumstances, [Lingyun City] implements the 'unified assessment of advanced soul master academies across the continent' and proposes to determine the best geniuses and award prizes to the winners. From the perspective of all parties, it is somewhat intriguing.
【Lingyun City】Do you want to pick peaches?
This idea appeared in the minds of the leaders of all forces.
Everyone can see that the development of [Lingyun City] is rapid and unstoppable. Unless [Martial Soul Hall] and [Haotian Sect], plus the two major empires, join forces to suppress it, [Lingyun City] will The rise of the city has become inevitable.
In terms of top combat power, there are 'Seven Kill Douluo' Chen Jianjun and 'Sword Douluo' Chen Xin father and son, the enigmatic Erlang, Contra level Dugu Bo and Gu Rong (not yet revealed to the public) Announcing the achievement of Titled Douluo).
In terms of low-level combat power, due to the development of body-forging martial arts, [Lingyun City] has almost surpassed [Martial Soul Palace] in terms of combat power below the second-ring great soul masters, which has been accumulated over thousands of years.
To this day, what [Lingyun City] lacks is only mid-level combat power.
Under this situation, all forces have to suspect that [Lingyun City] is preparing to intercept outstanding students from major high-level martial arts academies to supplement the strength of its own middle-level soul masters.
It is also because of this suspicion that although the quality of the students participating in this first ‘Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Unified Assessment’ is not bad, it is definitely not up to the level it should be. Especially students classified as combat.
There are people like [Martial Soul Academy] and [Xingluo Royal Academy] who don’t worry about [Lingyun City] poaching at all, or people like [Tianshui Academy] where the leading teacher completely trusts [Lingyun City] Only then will they launch their own seed students and make their debut in front of all the forces in Douluo Continent in advance.
As for the assessment items and winner's prizes, the former is due to the current low acceptance of more detailed assessment items in Douluo Continent, such as attack, defense, skills, speed, assistance and other classified items, which are basically nothing. When people participate, everyone focuses more on group battles and individual battles, using combat effectiveness as the most intuitive criterion.
To turn Douluo Continent into the ideal state of a hundred flowers blooming, Ling Yi estimated that he would have to spend at least several decades to guide people's ideas.
Finally, there is the prize for the winner. Obviously, all the prizes this time were given out by [Lingyun City], or in other words, Ling Yi personally paid for them.
For all the forces in Douluo Continent, even if their own internal personnel want to obtain those precious materials, they have to weigh the pros and cons and make various considerations. Now Ling Yi wants to talk about it, They have to pay for it in real money. It's okay if their students win, but if they lose, everything will be in vain.
As the saying goes, there are people who do the business of beheading, but no one does the business of losing money.
Before you can see the benefits that your side can get, it is as difficult as going to heaven to get things from all the forces as prizes!
This point, even in the original timeline of the 'All Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition', the reason why [Martial Soul Hall] gave out three soul bones as the championship prize was actually because The strength of the 'Golden Generation' is a cliff-edge lead, and it can be said that the championship has been determined in advance.
Bibi Dong took it as the prize for the champion of the competition in order to block the objections of the elders and worshipers of [Martial Soul Hall]. She never thought that a cheating protagonist group would appear, which made her The plan fell through.
Of course, as a qualified leader, Bibi Dong kept his word. When he said that he would take the soul bone as the championship prize, he really rewarded it, even if Tang San divided the soul bone on the spot. When he went out, he didn't even think about stopping him. It wasn't until the three soul bones were distributed that someone started to capture Xiao Wu.
……
Climbing the legendary Qingyun Mountain for the first time, Bibi Dong, Shui Qingyue, Lan Lan, Meng Shenji and others were full of curiosity and expectations.
Ling Yi, the most legendary figure in Douluo Continent for thousands of years, everyone has a pilgrim-like desire to explore the place where such a being lives.
Because it was still early, Ling Yi was not in a hurry to take everyone to the meeting hall and get straight to the point. He asked people to inform Li Zhishu and Shao Xin of the 'Ling Yun Special Chef' to show off their skills in Bibi Dong. At the others' request, Ling Yi took everyone on a tour of the city lord's mansion.
The first stop was the martial arts field. Looking at the stone walls and jade stones arranged around the martial arts field, as well as the lifelike pictures carved on them, everyone fell into silence.
I didn’t stay in the martial arts arena for long. Under the gaze of Chen Xin and Gu Rong, even if Meng Shenji and others wanted to shamelessly continue watching, they had no choice but to look at it twice more in the end, and then turned around three times, Yiyi Reluctantly, he followed Ling Yi to other parts of the City Lord's Mansion.
However, Bibi Dong and Shui Qingyue didn't care about this and focused more on Ling Yi himself.
