Chapter 267: I want to compete with the strongest person in the country
"This is a puppet of the fifth realm. Similar obstacles will also be encountered in official competitions." Yue Yue said.
As a breakthrough player, you must first break through the obstacles and then hit the target as quickly as possible.
Chen Mo recalled the scene when Wei Per slapped him, Song Qin and the other two with two slaps and a kick.
Of course, he had anticipated that when the actual screening took place, there would not be just two people blocking the way, but he still did not expect that there would be so many more.
Puppetry is not too rare. It is an ability that combines swordsmanship and magic. Counterintuitively, swordsmanship is the main force, so strictly speaking, people who practice this skill are considered sword cultivators.
Chen Mo saw that the person casting the spell at the back of the venue was a middle-aged man, probably a senior deacon of the Academic Affairs College.
After all, he had only been in the martial arts academy for more than two months, and had been outside and in the bamboo forest most of the time, so he had never seen this person.
"Are there any characteristics of the puppet that I need to remember?" he asked. "I mean, what you can tell me within the rules."
Yue Yue said: "The standard for puppets is the fifth realm physical cultivation. Our requirements are a little higher, probably medium talent, the level of the middle to late fifth realm."
She pointed behind all the puppets and saw a bright silver puppet of a different color.
"That's the main general. The format of the competition is almost the same every year, with only some minor differences, but the goal is always to defeat the main general."
She continued, "The attack of the main general's silver puppet is almost the same as that of the black iron puppet, but its defense is greatly improved. The standard settings are that the hard and yang orifices are connected, the green god is awakened, and it comes with a simulated mirror wall spirit body and immortal spirit body, plus the mountain sitting body protection skill."
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows. According to this standard, the defense is indeed high enough.
Although the Zuoshan Self-Defense Skill is not as good as the Iron Armor Sutra created by Yan Jing, it is also the one with the highest defensive ability among all defensive skills.
Even if we leave aside the cultivation method, the branches with the same path and the dual spirit bodies would put him in the top dozens in every major examination.
To kill such a person in seconds, with dozens of fifth-level puppets blocking the way, is not something that ordinary people can do.
"I'll tell you."
Yue Yue said, "Today we are selecting breakthrough players. According to convention, we will select the top two at most, one as a regular and one as a substitute. Most of the time, we will not select substitutes.
Then there are the selection criteria. At the very least, you have to destroy the target. This goes without saying. If you can't even destroy it, there's no need to consider anything else.
In the case of a defeat, the main evaluation indicators are the speed of the defeat, the degree of the defeat itself, the damage caused to the main general, and the comprehensive evaluation of the judges.
Breaking speed is the first option to consider. The most important thing for a breakthrough player is speed. This is more important than damage. You must remember this clearly. "
Chen Mo clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister."
Yue Yue waved her hand and smiled: "It's nothing."
As the two were talking, the noise in the room suddenly became lower.
Because in the audience, the judges are already in place.
Chen Mo saw Yan Jing and Wu Tongyu, whom he had met before. He guessed that everyone quieted down mainly because the two saints had come in person. In addition to the two of them, there were naturally other senior officials in the hospital.
"I wonder if Senior Brother Lin and Senior Brother will be judges if they are here."
"Of course he is. At least the eldest brother is." Yue Yue said.
"Why, Senior Brother Lin is not powerful?"
"That's not it."
Yue Yue pursed her lips and said, "It's just that Senior Brother Lin is quite mysterious. We rarely see him. Many people only know that there is such a person as him and that he is very powerful, and that's all."
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about Senior Brother Li Bing?"
"You mean the one from the Security Affairs Department? I think many people are afraid of him. He seems to be quite cold-blooded." Yue Yue was still honest.
Chen Mo scratched his head.
At this time, the middle-aged man who cast the puppet technique spoke.
"All contestants participating in the screening and the disciples on duty who are assisting, please come over here."
This was originally just a competition for selecting teams within the martial arts academy. It was not a performance-type event, and there were no outsiders to judge, so the rules were not announced publicly like a major exam.
Chen Mo and Yue Yue went to the waiting area together. There were about thirty people here, including Wei Bo and Zuo Feisheng.
Although they were the two most likely to win, unlike the inner court selection and the big exam, the probability of others obtaining the qualification was not zero. After all, this was a top martial arts academy, where only strong and not-so-strong people existed, and the worst was someone like Qin Ye.
If you are selecting a libero who has the most comprehensive requirements, you may have to choose someone with real talent, but for a breakthrough player who only requires the ability to break through quickly, you don't necessarily have to choose the person with the strongest overall strength.
Walking closer, Chen Mo took a closer look and found that the man who controlled dozens of fifth-level puppets had a very distinctive appearance. To be precise, his hair was very thick, like a lion's, which made his head look very big.
"Which deacon is this?"
"Of course it's Deacon Zhang Shenghu, who is in charge of selecting the team and is also a part-time coach."
After getting the answer from Yue Yue next to her, Chen Mo realized that Deacon Zhang, whom she often mentioned, actually also worked as a part-time coach.
At this time, Zhang Shenghu said: "Let me explain the rules again."
So he repeated what Yue Yue had just said.
Chen Mo was speechless: "Senior Sister Yue, since he wants to say it now, why did you say it again just now?"
"Because you asked me." Yue Yue said seriously.
Chen Mo was speechless.
Soon, Zhang Shenghu had finished reading the rules, which were exactly the same as what Yue Yue had said.
She is a straightforward person, even a little rigid, but that means she does things methodically, which makes her very reassuring in situations that don't require flexibility.
"You don't have to show mercy to these puppets. Just attack them with all your strength."
Zhang Shenghu finally said, "Let me emphasize that the target is only the silver main general puppet. It is up to you whether you choose to sneak in, break in, or kill it."
At the end of his speech, Chen Mo suddenly felt the other person's eyes staring at him.
"Especially emphasize this to the disciples who have been in the hospital for a short time. The final evaluation will only look at the damage caused to the silver puppets. Also, don't look down on them just because they are puppets. They are not robots with stiff movements."
After saying that, his face changed: "First one, Jiang Rui!"
A disciple with a stubble around his mouth stood up. Judging from his temperament, he looked like a second-year disciple, without the feeling of a veteran like Wei Per.
He looked a little nervous, perhaps because he was not fully prepared. So he looked at the judges' table, trying to find some spiritual comfort, and then saw a group of bigwigs in the hospital, which made him even more nervous.
"Just do it as you normally practice! Don't overthink it!"
A male deacon on the sidelines shouted at him, holding a mobile phone in his hand to record the video.
Chen Mo knew this person, he was the deacon sitting opposite Qi Jingsu.
After hearing his mentor's words, Jiang Rui suddenly became much calmer. He looked at the black iron puppets in front of him with a firm gaze.
Bang!
He stepped on the ground, and his whole body turned into a shadow, rushing up at an extremely fast speed.
It can only be said that there are no weaklings in the top martial arts academy. Even this person who looks a little timid can instantly display extremely strong explosive power.
He rushed into the group of puppets like a raging lion.
He used all he had learned throughout his life and brought into play the specialties of a martial arts master, combining speed and strength. He moved, dodged, and attacked!
Then within five seconds, he was surrounded and beaten by puppets that intercepted him at high speed, and then thrown to the sidelines.
The first player to come on stage, not to mention causing any damage to the silver puppet, couldn't even get through the black iron puppet formation in front of him.
Snapped.
The male deacon who was watching the fight nearby slapped him on the forehead.
"Hold on a little longer, at least."
Chen Mo, who was watching the game on the sidelines, looked at Zhang Shenghu. Under his thick hair, his face showed a sinister smile.
This guy didn't hold back at all when controlling the puppets. Not only were their stats very strong, but they also knew how to cooperate.
"Let me remind you again."
Zhang Shenghu spoke up at this time, "The martial arts college ranking competition is not about fighting in a small border town, it is about competing with the strongest martial arts college disciples in the country. You, understand what I mean?"
