Chapter 103 Ruthless Selection
No one chose to give up, including Chu Wen.
Now that we've come to the Longyu Training Camp, everyone is prepared! We're all geniuses, and what genius doesn't have pride?
Not only did the relentless mechanical voice continue to ring out, but Luo Zhong also began a brief self-introduction, which few people paid any attention to.
"Everyone who tries their best to survive is a success. This is the first assessment of the Dragon Universe Training Camp, and also the most brutal selection. Those who fail will either die or be maimed. But only those who succeed will be qualified to experience what comes next!"
After the peaceful light lasted for several minutes, everyone's attention was drawn away by a black tide.
Luo Zhong and the two masked men watched as this year's trainees were drawn away by the light before exhaling a breath of warm air.
"Hopefully, more of us will survive the first round of selection."
"The first screening is the safest and most reliable, with a mortality rate of only 20%, and you only need to wait a month to know the results."
Hearing the words of the two masked men, Luo Zhong shook his head and said, "You must remember, what Blue Star needs is not geniuses, but strong people. Martial artists who cannot reach the ranks of the strong are useless no matter how talented they are. To put it bluntly, they are not worthy of using any resources."
This is just the initial assessment; only those who survive will be qualified to enjoy everything that follows.
The league doesn't lack geniuses, it lacks super strong players who can reach the top!
If the Chaos Martial Arts Academy wanted, it could create countless high-level War Gods, but would it be meaningful? In this era, even those stronger than War Gods are merely supporting characters. Only those who reach the pinnacle of strength can turn the tide in the future!
……
As the dark tide receded, Chu Wen stood alone on a deserted island.
"Zoro? What's going on?"
"This is an independent subspace within the cultivation facility. If you die here, you may become nourishment within the subspace. This is also the operating principle of the subspace; it cannot generate energy, but can only plunder external energy."
"I never expected that you Blue Star people could actually activate this cultivation facility," Soda praised. "Usually, such facilities require bloodline verification, otherwise it's considered aiding the enemy. It seems your Blue Star ancestors were quite wealthy."
Before Zoro could finish his boasting, a series of thunderclaps from the distant island interrupted him.
[Elite student Chu Wen, you will face 200 waves of monster attacks, each wave increasing in difficulty by 10% compared to the first.]
The assessment lasts for 50 days and cannot be stopped once it begins. Each wave of attacks lasts for 6 hours. Killing all the monsters or dodging for 6 hours counts as passing the current wave.
Only standard-tier weapons are available.
You can choose to give up or continue.
Chu Wen remained calm and composed, saying only, "Continue."
If even someone like me, who possesses the Chaos Origin Pearl, cannot pass this test, then what is the point of the elite test?
Several holographic projections appeared in front of him. After picking up a battle sword, the waves around the island turned into an abyss, and he had no way out!
Buzz!
Twenty Iron-Horned Heavy Rhinoceroses appeared not far away. The sound of the herd galloping seemed to shake the entire isolated island, a level of beast king commonly seen on Earth.
Each one has 800 points of health, making them a low-level Beast King.
"The first wave wasn't too difficult."
Chu Wen made a quick decision and, without waiting for the rhinoceroses to surround him, leaped forward and broke through their encirclement.
"You can try to break through the limit level with your first basic martial arts technique!"
With a sharp look in his eyes, he moved swiftly, lightly touching the horn of one of the beast kings, and with a flick of his right leg, dodged the jabs of another beast king.
The beast kings coordinated their attacks skillfully, constantly charging towards Chu Wen, but they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
"It's a bit weak. I estimate it won't pose a threat to me until after the 100th wave."
With Chu Wen's current level of movement skills, he doesn't even need to unleash his martial arts techniques.
Chu Wen, who had originally intended to use these beast kings as sparring partners, immediately lost interest and drew his battle blade, slashing with each step!
All 20 beast kings fell to the ground, their corpses dissipating on the spot.
A countdown appeared in the sky above.
【5: 43】
"Forget it, I might as well start cultivating."
Chu Wen was bound to a specific area by an invisible barrier and was unable to wander around the island.
Suo Da then pulled out a handful of Huo Ling Crystals from the Hunyuan Pearl: "Use these to cultivate. It would be good to improve your strength a little before the final wave. You need to make the most of every second now."
Chu Wen did not refuse. Although he did not have much insight to digest at the moment, he still had to try.
He didn't know why the AI within the cultivation facility judged his survival rate to be almost zero, but it probably hadn't detected the existence of the Hunyuan Pearl. After all, the Hunyuan Pearl was a product of an extremely advanced civilization, and such AI wouldn't consider the auxiliary factors of the Hunyuan Pearl.
……
Twenty-six days later.
The 102nd wave of Beast Kings was used to surround and kill them.
Chu Wen's figure flashed swiftly amidst the pounce of the two cheetahs, using all four limbs as he ran wildly on the ground, just like a cheetah.
A leopard shadow appeared above his head, and just below his belly as he pounced, it swept past him, attacking from both above and below!
The two shadows only needed to lean against each other to drag Chu Wen into the abyss outside the island!
Just then, Chu Wen arched his back, curling into a net, and leaped up, hooking onto the belly of the cheetah that was flying overhead.
He pushed his right palm back down to the ground.
The two cheetahs turned around again and pounced on Chu Wen!
Chu Wen finally understood how exhausting it was to accumulate waves of monsters in the later stages.
If it weren't for my Hunyuan Breathing Technique, which allowed me to conserve energy and wait for the opportune moment, I would probably have been exhausted long ago!
Each attack by the monsters had to last for 6 hours, but once that time was up, the next wave would come one after another, leaving no time for anyone to rest!
This isn't an assessment, it's a death trap!
Of course, the above applies to ordinary elite martial artists. Without the Hunyuan Breathing Technique to relieve fatigue and without the Hunyuan Pearl as a trump card, their survival rate is naturally extremely low.
Chu Wen is not currently feeling too tired, and his eyes are bright.
There is nothing here but endless attacks from the Beast King. Day after day, for ordinary people, it feels like an eternity!
Unlike the undisciplined beast kings in the wild, the beast kings here are highly organized, giving warriors no time to rest and absorb combat insights.
But Chu Wen is different! He can feel the coolness of every inch of his skin when it comes into contact with the cold wind during battle, and his shadow, stretched by the sunlight, becomes fainter and fainter. It seems that the arrival of the limit-breaking version of "Like a Shadow" is finally in sight.
"Faster! Faster!"
Chu Wen had no problem with this, and even used it as an auxiliary level in his cultivation, but the other geniuses were not so lucky.
Although they haven't reached elite level, they still have to face 120 waves of Beast King attacks!
These last two days were a matter of life and death for them!
"Damn it, this difficulty is getting more and more insane, my arms are almost out of control."
A boy used his sword to block the sharp teeth that were biting at his arm, but was swatted into the air by a claw.
Immediately afterwards, his face showed resignation and fear, and his heavy legs lost all power, making it impossible for him to jump and gain leverage.
Another claw fell—
Disembowel!
Before he died, he fell to the ground, looked at the backpack he had brought from home, and closed his eyes reluctantly.
"Just a few more waves... I'm not willing to give up..."
One genius after another perished, their names never even being sung before the delete button was silently pressed.
This is a ruthless selection process!
