Chapter 53 is very rare
When his vision regained clarity, Lin Shen found himself in a strange place.
Looking around, the place where he is located is very spacious, with an area of tens of thousands of square meters, which is larger than a football field, and looks like a large hall.
The ground under the feet is paved with bluestone slabs, surrounded by high walls, and a huge portal is embedded in each wall.
Behind the door, there are clouds and mist, and you can't see the scene inside.
However, what is more eye-catching is the cloud and mist above the head, which seems to be covered with a layer of pure white tulle.
"Is this the fog array?"
Lin Shen muttered to himself, suddenly felt something hard in his palm, looked down, and realized that there was a jade talisman in his hand at some point.
A number 0 is displayed in the middle of it.
Lin Shen instantly understood that this should be the jade talisman mentioned in the rules that can record scores and protect at the same time.
Putting the jade talisman away carefully, Lin Shen chose a random direction and walked.
The form of this big exam is to survive the formation, not to enter the formation. In other words, it is the same no matter which portal you choose.
The only difference is that if you are lucky, you may encounter the one with the altar.
But Lin Shen hadn't taken a few steps when he suddenly heard roars coming from above.
Looking up, the clouds and mist in the sky surged violently and condensed at an astonishing speed, forming a fierce beast with horns on its forehead, like a tiger or a leopard, with wings on its back.
In the blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen ferocious and terrifying beasts in the sky, all roaring like thunder, and swooping towards Lin Shen with murderous aura.
"Fog Beast!"
Lin Shen's eyes were fixed, and he slapped out lightning with a palm, hitting the head of the rushing fog beast. The latter didn't even snort, and instantly exploded into fog.
This blow was a bit unexpected for Lin Shen, and he didn't realize it until he killed a few more fog beasts.
These fog beasts look ferocious, but in fact they only have a level of aerodynamics.
Lin Shen didn't even need to use martial arts, he could be killed with a single blow.
The candidates who are qualified to take the big exam have the weakest level 5 aerodynamics. It is not too easy to deal with this kind of fog beast.
But soon, Lin Shen realized something was wrong.
Every time he kills a fog beast, the scattered mist will return to the sky, condense into a new fog beast, and kill it again without interruption.
Every second, he was surrounded by no less than ten fog beasts.
After walking less than 100 meters, Lin Shen had already killed more than 20 fog beasts, and there were more than 20 points on the jade talisman.
"This is the rhythm of exhausting the candidates' physical strength!"
Lin Shen clicked his tongue.
Generally speaking, a practitioner with five levels of pneumatics can deal with seven or eight opponents with one level of pneumatics at the same time.
A few outstanding ones can even play ten.
But in this way, even if they win in the end, the winner will inevitably become the end of the battle.
What's more, what's more, now they have to face more than a dozen opponents who can be resurrected quickly after death. Ordinary aerodynamic five-layer practitioners are afraid that they will be exhausted in a short time.
Sure enough, when Lin Shen broke through the siege and arrived at the portal at the left end of the main hall, he suddenly felt that the strength of the fog beasts around him had become significantly stronger, almost reaching the level of the pneumatic second floor.
At this time, less than five minutes had passed since entering the fog formation.
"Aren't dozens of people eliminated at once?"
Lin Shen sighed with emotion, swung his palm and killed the fog beast blocking in front, and stepped into the portal.
With a flash in front of his eyes, Lin Shen found himself in another hall when he came back to his senses.
The same high wall surrounds, bluestone pavement.
The same four portals, filled with clouds and mist.
Roar!
Amidst the thunderous roar, more than a dozen fog beasts quickly condensed into shape, and swooped down on Lin Shen.
Lin Shen's face remained unchanged, and he calmly greeted him.
In a place that others can't see, he has switched the talent column to Perseverance.
Persist for a long time, not only will you get more points, but also the probability of finding the altar will be greater.
And once the fog beasts are consumed in the early stage in order to kill more, and the fog beasts become stronger later, they are likely to be eliminated quickly.
So Lin Shen did not go all out to kill the fog beasts, but tried to maintain a balanced state of physical energy consumption and recovery.
With perseverance and talent, he is confident that he has a huge advantage over other candidates in terms of physical strength.
Three minutes after the start of the big exam.
Light and shadows flickered one after another in the square, and oval shields appeared on the field out of thin air.
The shields were removed, revealing candidates with dejected and gloomy expressions.
These are the people who lost the battle with the fog beast and were eliminated and sent out of the fog formation.
The one with the most points among them was only 20 to 30 points, so it was certain that he had already been excluded from the admission ranks of the Taoist Academy.
"The difficulty of this exam is too high!"
"That's right, those fog beasts will be resurrected after being killed, how can people beat them?"
"I only got more than 20 points. Let alone the top 200, I won't even make it to the top 400. I will definitely be at the bottom!"
"It's completely hopeless now"
Lamentations came and went, and many candidates fell to the ground, their faces pale.
Ke Ya and Cai Zhonggu acted as if they hadn't seen each other, their expressions were indifferent.
They have seen similar scenes countless times, and their hearts are already as hard as stone.
The road is vast and the road is difficult and dangerous.
The way of practice is full of thorns and thorns. Those who do not have enough qualifications should give up early. This is a good thing for them.
On the water curtain, light and shadow surged, each and every examinee was struggling with the fog beast.
Some were besieged by fog beasts, unable to break through, and could only hold on.
Some of them broke through the siege of the fog beasts brazenly, entered each portal, and searched for the existence of the altar.
at the same time.
A leaderboard also appeared in the corner of the water curtain, listing the names and scores of each candidate.
First place, Zhao Xueying, 128 points
Second place, Yan Xing, 126 points
The third place, Chong Yanhe, 125 points
Fourth place, Xue Feng, 123 points
Fifth place, Wei Cheng, 95 points
As time goes by, the names and scores on the leaderboard change drastically.
Especially the closer to the bottom of the list, the more frequent the changes.
Although the rankings of Zhao Xueying and the others are also constantly changing, they have always firmly occupied the top four on the list, and they have opened up a significant distance from the candidates behind.
At this moment, Cai Zhonggu suddenly let out a low sigh, pointed to a name on the list and said:
"Who is this man?"
Ke Ya followed the position he pointed to, but it was a candidate named Lin Shen, with 85 points, ranking 23rd.
"Lin Shen? It's a strange name." Ke Ya frowned suspiciously.
He has more or less impressions of the children of aristocratic families who took this year's exam, but this candidate named Lin Shen is very unfamiliar.
Ke Ya immediately called the disciple next to him and asked him to take out the list and check it.
Soon, the disciple replied:
"The two directors, this candidate named Lin Shen is not a member of a family."
Cai Zhonggu and Ke Ya were startled when they heard the words.
The two looked at each other, and both could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
Ordinary students can squeeze into the top thirty?
This is very rare!
