Chapter 178: Chapter 88 Real Combat Assessment_2

Having said that, he turned and ran, sliding swiftly on his feet and disappeared momentarily.

Watching his receding figure, the playfulness on Hep Benn’s face gradually faded, leaving only a gentle gaze. Standing at the door, watching him move further and further away, she muttered, "Such a fool!"

Long Kongkong happily dashed towards the teleportation array formation, his mood exceptionally good. The only disappointment was that the hug he had imagined did not happen, but regardless, the gift was indeed delivered into the hands of the Goddess! He could now proceed to the examination with peace of mind.

As he was drawing near the Temple Headquarters, he seemed to sense something subtly, causing him to instinctively stop and glance around.

Noticing nothing out of ordinary, he scratched his head and continued on his way into the Temple Headquarters to activate the teleportation array formation to go back to Spirit Furnace Academy.

Faint green lights flashed in a nearby corner, along with a dim shine of golden glow.

Early morning.

Long Dangdang, Long Kongkong and Ling Menglu completed their cultivation session together. Every day, after cultivating with the aid of the Divine Prayers Icy Moon Angel, they would always feel rejuvenated.

Previously, the main focus during the evening meditations was to enhance their spiritual power, but now the improvements encompassed all aspects.

Ever since having the potential for the Divine Prayers Angel to possess him, Long Dangdang had been particularly mindful of his physical strength. Only with sufficient resilience, could he fully utilize the fighting power when the Divine Prayers Angel possessed him. To pass the fifth test set by the demon tribe and defeat three 7th Rank powerful experts of the evil demon tribe, he was sure to make efforts in this aspect.

"You guys go ahead and freshen up, we’ll meet at the dining room," Ling Menglu said, heading towards the bathroom.

Long Kongkong chuckled, "Is the Goddess gracing the academy’s dining room too?"

Ling Menglu replied, "Yes, do you feel honored?"

"Haha, not at all! Who cares if the Goddess may be my sister-in-law in the future? The thought that we are one family makes it low-key. Hey, I’m saying it for your own good, don’t kick me!"

At the Spirit Furnace Academy, over one hundred and eighty students from the first three grades were ready.

All full of vigour, aged between sixteen to eighteen, they were undoubtedly the cream of the crop in their age group.

School Director Yu Yunqiong stood at the front, flanked by respective class advisors.

"Very good, you all look very spirited. Next, the academy will transport you to the site of the assessment through the teleportation array formation. Remember, this assessment involves actual combat. You will be assigned different tasks as groups. This is not a simulated assessment, nor is it a drill, but real combat. You will face real enemies. Therefore, please cherish your lives, tread carefully during the assessment, and strive to complete your tasks while keeping yourselves safe. Your class advisors will not accompany you, and even I will leave after guiding you to the assessment site. Therefore, during the assessment, you can only rely on yourselves and your teammates. Have you all understood?"

"Understood!" Over a hundred and eighty students answered in unison.

"Very well! Now follow me to depart. The teleportation array formation has a limited range and can transport thirty people each time. The transportation will be completed in six rounds."

Upon arriving at the academy’s teleportation array formation, the array formation setup had some changes compared to before. The students assumed it was because the teleportation destination was different this time, no longer to the Temple Headquarters.

By grade, from high to low, the third grade students started first, with about thirty people transported each time.

Long Dangdang, Long Kongkong and Ling Menglu gathered together. Zisang Liuying, Cai Caijuan, Tang Leiguang, and Chu Yu did the same.

Zisang Liuying’s gaze often landed on Ling Menglu, filled with a fighting spirit. Obviously, he was determined to compete with Ling Menglu’s squad in this assessment.

The transportation quickly reached the lower grades. Ling Menglu’s squad and Zisang Liuying’s squad entered the teleportation array formation simultaneously.

The familiar glow of a teleportation spell lit up, distorting their surrounding vision into a blur as the teleportation began.

When their surroundings became clear again, their group of thirty found themselves in a complete unfamiliar place.

Long Dangdang looked around, his expression subtly shifting.

This place resembled a valley. A line of undulating tents filled one side of the valley, decorated with well-equipped soldiers standing on guard outside the tent doors. There were also patrols of soldiers inside the camp.

Besides that, the whole valley seemed barren, the surrounding mountains of varying heights all bare without a sprig of grass. Even inside the valley, there were only a few paths that seemed to be artificially cleared. There were also no plants. This only added to the depressive, barren atmosphere.

The place they were transported to resembled a sacrificial altar, about two meters tall. Below their feet were the magical patterns of the teleportation array formation, surrounded by soldier guards.

A figure, fully clad in armor, resembling a general, walked over with large strides. He waved at the thirty of them, saying, "Follow me," before walking towards the military camp.

Everyone hurried to follow, led by the official into the military camp.

For most of the students, this was their first time entering a military camp. Even though it was only separated by simple wooden fences, the moment they entered the camp, an aura of solemn intensity hit them. Their nerves involuntarily tensed up.

Before long, they were brought to the largest tent in the center of the camp. Entering the tent, fully armed soldiers filled both sides, with a general donned in magnificent armor seated in the middle. The armor on the general showed a very strong spiritual power fluctuation, clearly not ordinary. At the very least, it was Spiritual Magic Power Class equipment.

"This is the fifth batch, isn’t it? Get your tasks from the left. Completing the task doesn’t only get you points for your academy evaluation, but also our military task points. These will be useful to you in the future. Remember, this is a battlefield. From this point on, your identities are mercenaries, no longer students. You’re responsible for not only doing the task, but also for your own lives." The general spoke in a deep voice, then waved his hand. The official who guided them in immediately led them over to a table on the side.

A civilian worker sat behind the desk, with an unknown device forming a magical screen on the left.

"Tasks are assigned by team. Each person receives a Military Achievement badge. Remember, don’t lose the badge. It records your task completion situation. If you lose it, even if the task is completed, it can’t be verified."

The Military Achievement badge was the size of a thumb, a thin metal piece with a thin chain attached that you could hang around your neck.

Ling Menglu and Zisang Liuying exchanged glances. Without a doubt, their two teams were the outstanding ones in this group.

Ling Menglu faintly smiled, making a gesture of invitation towards Zisang Liuying. Zisang Liuying gave her a look, then took the initiative to step forward.

"How many in the team?"

"Four!"

"Good, take four Military Achievement badges. Your task is to clear any non-human creatures twenty miles southwest. Once each of you have cleared ten creatures, you can return the task and then get assigned a new task."

Zisang Liuying nodded, then took the four badges.

Next, Ling Menglu’s squad also received the same task, but their location was twenty miles southeast.

"Excuse me, how many tasks do we need to complete for our evaluation?" Ling Menglu asked.

The civilian worker handing out tasks looked up at her and said, "There’s no task quantity limit. The evaluation period is ten days. The more tasks you complete in ten days, the higher your scores. Got it?"

At this time, Zisang Liuying and his team had not left the tent. Hearing this, he turned back and gave Ling Menglu and her team a deep look, then quickly waved his hand, leading his own team quickly away. It seemed that time was the most important factor in this examination.
