My Salvation Game Became true?!-Chapter 171 - 167 Assessment Before Awakening (Seeking

Chapter 171 -167: Assessment Before Awakening (Seeking Monthly Pass) Chapter 171 -167: Assessment Before Awakening (Seeking Monthly Pass) Among the students and investigators who meet the basic registration conditions, there are more than three hundred people.

Among them, the vast majority of official investigators from the Investigation Agency have already met the standard—their abilities were not weak to begin with, and they have experienced a rapid progression over the past three days, with some increases in physique by 0.7 or 0.8 units.

Meeting the standard is not difficult.

Most of the newcomers recruited from various parts of Dong Huang are of ordinary origins, with some previously in suboptimal health conditions due to a lack of exercise.

But with Black Blade’s training and the support of nourishing broths from Silver Bell, their physical progress is visibly significant, with some veteran students having trained for more than ten days, twenty days, or even longer.

The number of applicants tallied this time even outnumbered the investigators.

Someone looked around at the bustling crowd and swallowed hard.

Among them were quite a few faces he did not recognize, probably newer ones who had not participated in the previous enrollment assessments, yet they were still satisfied.

It was possible that many had surpassed him already.

The pressure was immense.

Fortunately, this time there was no need to compete for rankings, passing the assessment was victory enough.

“We will now begin the first assessment, the basic skills assessment.”

At Training Field No. 6, Xu Tian stood on the platform.

In front of him, on the spacious training field, were some metallic-looking robots, masterpieces of the Forging Workshop, but not entirely.

Their core structures came from some high-level apparatus included in the training field, which were then modified by Wang Chui into the test robots of today.

To an awakened expert like Xu Tian, these robots were too weak to be used in his training, but for merely ordinary students and investigators, these robots were more than sufficient for testing purposes.

Xu Tian continued, “In front of you are four types of basic testing robots: blade, sword, spear, and fist. Choose one based on the basic skill you are proficient in to compete with. Before the competition, the robot’s strength will be set according to your two-dimensional data measured today.”

“Put simply, the robot’s strength and speed will be slightly greater than yours. As for basic skills… if you can withstand the robot’s attacks for 20 seconds, you will pass the assessment.”

Is this the basic skills assessment!

Someone was invigorated but had to… join in the queue honestly after the excitement.

There was no choice; there were only about a dozen or so test robots altogether, yet there were over three hundred of them enrolled for assessment.

Especially those like him who were learning blade techniques, which represented the majority among the students, it was fortunate that there was a good number of blade robots, and continuous testing was ongoing.

“Li Er.”

“Physique 2.9, spirit 1.5, proficient in blade technique.”

“Testing begins.”

The blade-wielding robot quickly approached, its blunt-edged battle blade chopping down one strike after another like a fierce storm, powerful and heavy.

By the 15th second, the student named Li Er could no longer withstand, his blade knocked aside, and he was sliced away by the robot in the next second.

Collapsed on the ground, he coughed up blood.

The physical wounds were secondary; the sorrow in his heart was much greater.

“Those who did not pass, don’t be discouraged.”

“Keep trying, keep training, you can still register for the next Awakener assessment.”

“Of course…”

Xu Tian added another sentence, “Whether the standards for the next assessment will rise cannot be guaranteed.”

You call that comforting without adding that last line!

The students who failed felt even more dejected.

There were also quite a few investigators who failed.

However, overall, the pass rate was higher among the investigators than the Xinhuo students, and many of the investigators chose boxing, with military style techniques.

Whether it was enduring twenty seconds or hitting the robot’s ‘vital points’, those who defeated the robot passed the assessment.

At first, when students were seen defeating robots, there were exclamations.

But gradually, as they watched more, they almost became accustomed to it.

“After all, the robots’ techniques like blade or fist are just at the proficient level, not very strong, so it’s normal for someone to defeat them.”

“But why did my hand go numb after just one blow from that robot, and I failed after less than ten seconds?”

“That’s an issue with how you apply force. If your blade technique isn’t refined enough and you react too hastily, that will lead to defeat.”

“Why is there such a big gap between people!”

Someone else joined in.

Maintaining a steady style, he easily supported himself past twenty seconds and reckoned he could ‘defeat’ the robot too, if necessary, but there was no need.

That would have entailed some risk, and there was no limelight to be had.

After all, there were too many monsters present.

“It seems that after this one assessment, our numbers have become fewer than the investigators over there.”

Originally, they had more people, but more were eliminated.

Much more.

The Xinhuo students who failed in the assessment hung their heads in shame, feeling inferior.

Not far away,

the faces of the official investigators could not help but show joy.

Today, they had indeed restored the glory of the investigators.

“But it seems we’ve only won against some ordinary people?”

“Um…”

One investigator said.

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

The others were caught off guard and started to ponder; after all, they were professional, trained investigators—why were they so happy about winning an assessment against some ordinary people?

Perhaps because…

The elites of Xinhuo were too formidable. Not to mention the elites, even these ordinary-background students, many of whom were previously high school students, unhealthy otakus, or office clerks, trained fiercely. Sometimes their tenacity scared the investigators.

It’s said that these were outstanding talents sifted from various places by Xinhuo, with many hailing from overseas.

All geniuses.

Thinking of this, even though they knew they had only beaten a bunch of ordinary people, many investigators couldn’t help but feel proud.

The assessment of basic skills took some time. After testing over three hundred people, it was already getting late, yet no one showed any impatience.

Including those students who had been eliminated, none left, wanting to witness the subsequent assessments.

To broaden their horizons and accumulate experience.

On the high platform, Xu Tian spoke up, “After this basic skills assessment, there are one hundred and seventy-nine students left. Next, you will undergo a willpower assessment. Those who pass will be arranged by the organization for Awakening.”

“Rest assured, this assessment will be quick.”

He crouched down and with a clicking sound, opened a black box beside him. From it, he took out a blood-red, heart-like orb that was thumping rhythmically.

‘Strange Implement: Blood Fiend Heart Core’

‘Grade: Purple’

‘Ability One: Blood Fiend Burst’

‘Ability Two: Blood Fiend Absorption’

It was as if a terrifying monster had been unleashed. Merely at a glance, many students felt like their hearts were being squeezed, a chill rushing through them.

“This Strange Implement is quite practical.”

In the distance, atop a tall building, Fang You surveyed the training ground below.

The Strange Implement was one of the very few high-value treasures drawn from the previous 2,000 Destiny Points grand draw.

A precious high-grade Strange Implement.

Ability One was an area attack, and Ability Two an area protection, capable of absorbing not only the Blood Fiend but also the rational influence of Mysterious Evil, killing intent, and even widespread spiritual oppression, among others.

It was indeed a divine tool for protecting ordinary people.

Using it for tests and assessments was also quite effective—he originally planned to use Mysterious Evil to test willpower, or have Black Blade make an appearance for a killing intent test.

But it was difficult to finely adjust the strength with Mysterious Evil.

Brother Black Blade was precise enough, but it was somewhat overkill.

“If it proves effective, in the future we can retrofit this Strange Implement slightly and turn it into the ‘Willpower Sharpening Grounds’ for the training base.” That was what he wanted.

The assessment today was a large event, and not just he was watching with interest.

An Jianyou and Yiluo Xi were also present.

Yiluo Xi sat on the edge of the roof, swinging her feet in the evening breeze, “The newbies this year really have vigor.”

She wanted to recruit some help for the Sisterhood.

But thinking of White Frost and her two comrades, Yiluo Xi felt like crying without tears.

They were her sisters, they had indeed become stronger and broken through, which should’ve been a joyful thing, but how had they, in the blink of an eye…

Been sent out on a mission by their mentor! They were hers, and suddenly the mentor had nabbed them away. How infuriating!

“Mentor, oh mentor, when will you evenly distribute some talent to me?”

She glared furiously, thumping her fists against the stone.

Fang You glanced over, pondering for a moment, “If you want to expand the Sisterhood, it’s not a bad idea. I have a suggestion: you could develop abroad. The environment overseas is more suitable.”

“If you accept, this will be considered an organizational mission, and you’ll receive a development fund, a small number of personnel, and you can even apply for organizational support when necessary.”

That seemed like a good idea.

The number of civilian Awakeners overseas was much larger, and with the chaotic environment, it was the perfect place for Yiluo Xi to showcase her talents.

However,

She would need more money!

Yiluo Xi began to bargain over personnel support, wanting a stronger foundation of base members.

Ultimately, in addition to White Frost and the others, she agreed to a few more capable Awakeners being supported, individuals who had graduated early and had quite impressive strength and professional skills.

Yiluo Xi’s face broke into a smile, “The newcomers tonight, can I also pick some of them?”

Fang You said, “Aside from a few exceptions and those who have been pre-reserved by others, you can choose anyone else.”

He didn’t mind.

He couldn’t wait for Yiluo Xi to be full of enthusiasm.

What he expected from his workers was that drive.

If Yiluo Xi didn’t make an effort, how could he as a boss have more excellent employees.

An’s interest seemed less, quite the Buddha-like.

She slowly brewed a pot of tea, savoring a unique flavor in the evening breeze.

“Mentor’s treat.”

Out of curiosity, she asked, “How many of these more than one hundred and seventy people do you think will pass the willpower assessment?”

“Possibly less than half.”

“Such a high elimination rate? I think they’re already quite strong.”

They were certainly stronger than she was before her Awakening.

If she had participated in this kind of assessment before her Awakening, An Jianyou thought she might, perhaps, probably… not pass.

Newcomers are truly fearsome.

Mentors are indeed strict.

“After all, the environment has changed,” said Fang You.

Besides, he aimed high in his demands. It was better to have a high elimination rate than to pass easily but fail and die during Awakening.

Strictness was essential.

As they spoke, unrelated personnel had withdrawn to the outside of the area, and simultaneously, Xu Tian manipulated the Strange Implement ‘Blood Fiend Heart Core’, slowly floating it into the air.

A faint red area enveloped all one hundred seventy-nine participants in the assessment.
