A Bug’s Desire To Survive - Chapter 100
It took Wei He two days to successfully refine the Xuan Xiao Umbrella into his own magic weapon, just in time for this quarterly test.
The results of the quarterly test determine the allocation of the class and the share of cultivation resources. Students without family background can only rely on their grades to obtain relatively abundant cultivation resources. Wei Hezu was originally an artifact refiner, but unfortunately there was no successor, and he eventually went into decline. In this era of thin spiritual energy, there are fewer and fewer high-level monks, and the inheritance is gradually lost.
“You don’t want to participate in this quarterly exam.” Wei He stared at Yuan Chu with a sullen face.
“Not participating is equivalent to abstaining, and then you will be assigned to the fifth class.” The college can usually ask for leave, but the exam cannot be absent, even if there is an accident, you can only wait for the next exam to get the spot back. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule for extremely gifted students.
“If you abstain, you will abstain. As long as the foundation is still there, you will be able to come back sooner or later.” Wei He had played against Yuan Chu, and he knew very well how skilled and flexible she was in the use of spells. I am afraid that no one at the same level is her opponent. .
“Don’t worry, my injury is almost healed.” Yuan Chu comforted, “If I fail in the exam, I will take the initiative to admit defeat.”
Wei He cast her a “Do you think I would believe it?” look.
“The important thing is,” Yuan Chu added, “I want to be in the same class with you.”
Wei He: “…” If he doesn’t agree with each other, he is sultry. How could he refuse? So angry!
In the end, Yuan Chu and Wei He, who had a bad face, went to the exam room to get the exam number, put it on the quarterly exam list, and appeared on the big screen in the square together with the names of 75 other candidates.
The exam officially started in the afternoon. The exam was divided into three sessions, one for mentality, the second for breaking the law, and the third for competition. All candidates’ exam process will be presented on the big screen, there is absolutely no chance of cheating. The seventy-seven candidates are all students who have obtained the magic weapon of birth in this quarter, and they are basically the first time to participate in this kind of competitive examination. The top ten students can enter the first class, and if the students in the first class are outside the ten, they will be transferred out of the first class.
In front of the square, thousands of students gathered to watch the exam.
The first concern about the road is to test the state of mind and cultivation experience. The purer the mind, the stronger the will, and the deeper the understanding, the longer the distance.
“Wei He, this level shouldn’t be difficult for you.” Sang Rong said with an expression of seeing through everything.
In “Memories of the Future”, Wei He was the one who went the farthest among all the candidates. Even if he was unwilling, he still had some self-knowledge, and he didn’t plan to compete with him on the road in his heart. With his current cultivation, I believe that the next two exams will be able to gain the upper hand.
“All candidates, please enter your mind one by one.” The invigilator reminded loudly.
The door to the void opened, revealing a white entrance, and the candidates stepped in with curiosity and anxiety.
Every candidate has a mental road leading to the unknown. On this mental road, he can only walk alone and explore himself.
At the beginning of the start, the surroundings were chaotic and silent, without a trace of vitality.
As long as you take the first step, the world will undergo earth-shaking changes. The seven emotions and six desires, the good and the evil, the thoughts, the delusions and the prayers… The complex human heart and the perception of life will be presented one by one in a concrete form.
On the big screen, seventy-seven candidates took their first steps.
Take one step forward, revealing your heart.
The situation above his head changes color, and his feet are as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Weaknesses hidden in the depths are magnified infinitely.
In just two minutes, six or seven candidates were teleported in their first step for being emotionally overwhelmed, scoring a “1”.
Depending on the distance traveled, the big screen starts updating the rankings instantly.
With the realization of “one more life”, Sang Rong walked to the seventh step without any risk, but at the eighth step, he couldn’t take it no matter what. He thinks of the “previous life” of nothing, he is jealous of Wei He’s amazing talent, and longs to be admired and worshipped by the world. However, he has nothing to become a god, but he does not have the talent and will to become a god, and he indulges in the beautiful fantasy of ascending to the sky in one step. In the end, he lost to himself, and all the falsehood turned around.
In the snap of his fingers, he had been teleported out of his mind, his face was full of fear and cowardice, and his body could not stop shaking. Looking up, on the screen leaderboard, his name stopped at the seventh step, exactly the same as “previous life”.
Looking at Wei He again, he has reached the ninth step.
Sang Rong’s face was ugly, and the fire of jealousy spread wildly in his heart. He knew that he might not be able to surpass Wei He in his heart, but why did he have no progress in his life? ! He is not reconciled! Wei He’s talents and opportunities in this life are not as good as his own. What does he use to fight against himself?
Sang Rong clenched his fists tightly, and a wicked look flashed in his eyes.
At this time, Wei He took his tenth step again, but he was not the one who ranked first.
The word “primitive” climbed step by step at an extremely stable speed, and finally ranked first.
She was always one step ahead of Wei He, who was ranked second.
Wei He took eleven steps, and she took twelve steps.
Wei He took twelve steps and she took thirteen steps.
The third place below them had just taken the ninth step at this time.
There was a commotion in the square, and it seemed that the two of them had not reached their limit yet.
All eyes were on the small screen of the two.
Wei He stopped at the twelfth step, his muscles were tense, he was dripping with cold sweat, and his eyes changed, as if he was suffering great pain. What he saw in front of him seemed to be both real and illusory, which made him fall into a myth. He saw in a trance that his father died in a car accident, and his mother gave birth to him in a serious injury, leaving him with pain. He tried his best to raise medical bills. When he was in a difficult situation, Sang Rong suddenly appeared and bought the right to use the Wei family’s old house for four years with a sum of money. Wei He should thank him, but subconsciously he always felt that something was wrong. Until he found the information left by the ancestors in the depths of his memory, the treasures and inheritance belonging to the Wei family were hidden in the ground of the Wei family’s old house.
He should have gotten these things, passed the difficulties smoothly, and revived the glory of his ancestors. However, these all changed because of Sang Rong’s intervention. He not only stole things from the Wei family, but also made himself grateful to him.
No, it’s all hallucinations, not real! How could Sang Rong know that there is a strange treasure hidden in the Wei family’s old house? But his appearance is strange, people have to doubt. With Sang Rong as a person, how can he help a stranger who has little interaction for no reason?
The seeds of doubt were buried in his heart and gradually grew. The branches and leaves that stretched wantonly plunged into Wei He’s flesh and blood, tearing his soul apart.
Yuan Chu’s footsteps stopped, and he turned his head to look into the depths of the chaos, his deep eyes flashing with microwaves.
Tiandao shot again.
It wants Wei He to plant a demon because of his anger.
Yuan Chu flicked his fingers, and a burst of spiritual power broke through the chaos and fell into Wei He’s forehead.
Wei He’s intuitive mind became clear, and the figure of his mother lying on the hospital bed appeared in front of him. She leaned against the pillow relaxedly, chatted with the nurse with a smile, and showed a peaceful expression on her sick face.
Mother……
The emotions surging in Wei He’s eyes gradually calmed down, and the anger that filled his heart gradually dissipated.
Treasures can be recaptured if they are taken away. As long as the person he cares about is all right, he has nothing to fear. He does not need to care about temporary gains and losses. The road ahead is still very long.
At this time, another girl’s figure appeared beside the mother’s bed. She curled her brows and smiled, took a knife and cut the fruit unhurriedly, then cut it into small pieces, signed it, and handed it to her mother. All of this last night, she suddenly raised her head, as if she could see him, and looked at him across the air, her smiling eyes always shining like stars.
Wei He’s heart lake swayed in circles, the chaotic world suddenly opened up, and the boulder pressing on him suddenly shattered.
He looked at her fixedly and took the thirteenth step steadily. It seems that something has been broken, and he feels extremely relaxed and the world is extremely vast.
“Wow~~” In the square, the exclamations came one after another, and they looked at the two names tied for first place in shock.
Yuan Chu smiled slightly: Let’s take a few steps forward.
She took the fourteenth step, and Wei He followed closely.
Fifteen steps, sixteen steps, seventeen steps… Five steps in a row, until the twenty-one step.
The third place was teleported out at the twelfth step, and there were only two shining names left on the big screen.
almost.
Yuan Chu closed his eyes, his figure was blurred, and the next second, he appeared at the entrance of his mind.
Wei He came later, there was no abnormality on his face, only a faint comprehension and calmness, his eyes looking at Yuan Chu were surprisingly bright.
“I broke through.” He whispered casually.
“Congratulations.” Yuan Chu showed him a “I knew you could do it” smile.
The corner of Wei He’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, and the suppressed joy only blossomed in his heart at this time.
“The mentality test is over, and the results are on the screen. Everyone must have seen it. Now, prepare for the second test.” The invigilator’s voice sounded at the right time, summoning all the candidates and announcing the precautions for the second test.
Breaking the law, the main consideration is the candidate’s understanding and application of the formation and technique.
In the trial space, 108 formations are arranged, including attack, defense, support, treatment, illusion, etc. The more formations passed, the higher the score, and you can form a team to cooperate (but the number of people in a team cannot exceed three) , exchange information, or create traps and obstacles for others, except that they cannot kill people, they are allowed to use any means that do not violate the rules, and the test time is three hours.
“Wei He, let’s form a team.” Sang Rong brought Qiu Luoshui over and suggested with a smile.
“No.” Wei He responded coldly, “I have decided to form a team with Yuan Chu.”
Qiu Luoshui said displeasedly, “A team of three has a better chance of winning than a team of two. Are you not afraid of being dragged down when you team up with her?”
Wei He: “She is the first in her mind.”
Qiu Luoshui: “…” Ma Dan, irrefutable! How could this seemingly weak little girl get such a high score! She and Sang Rong also scored 6 and 7 points, ranking 19th and 12th respectively.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked at Sang Rong next to her. She originally thought that his performance would be a little brighter, but she was greatly disappointed, and her mental performance did not match his current cultivation.
“If that’s the case, then forget it.” Sang Rong waved his hand pretending not to care, “We can also cooperate when we get to the trial space.”
Wei He answered noncommittally, a thought flashed in his eyes. The scene he saw in his mind might not be his imagination. Before Sang Rong appeared, he had already found some clues left by the ancestors of the Wei family, but before he could take action, the old house was bought.
After careful consideration, Sang Rong’s behavior is indeed worth scrutinizing.
Let’s wait until the exam is over. Wei He could not pursue those belongings, but he would never allow the inheritance of the Wei family to fall into the hands of others.
At the end of the rest time, the candidates entered the trial space for breaking the law and began the second exam.
“Yuan Chu, follow behind me and try not to shoot.” Wei He didn’t forget Yuan Chu was injured. In order not to aggravate her injury, he planned to help her clear the obstacles and let her get points easily.
The first formation they encountered was the Limu formation, which was a relatively basic attack formation. Wei He’s fire attribute is just right to defeat wood, and he can easily break through the formation without taking out the Xuanxiao umbrella. Originally, he only needed to watch his performance by the side.
Sang Rong and Qiu Luoshui were also watching not far away. After Wei He broke the formation, they immediately ran over and rushed into the formation before the formation was repaired.
Wei He just glanced at them and didn’t say much. Before they broke the formation, he continued to look for the second formation with Yuan Chu.
Wei He has already broken through to the foundation-building stage in the mental test just now, and with the middle-grade magic weapon Xuan Xiao umbrella, along the way, he has almost passed the test.
But every time the formation is broken, the level will increase by one. The first hour is the sweeping stage. After the level is improved, it will not be easy to score points. If you are in a situation of serious injury before the end of the test time, you will be teleported.
In order to minimize the chance of the original shot, Wei He started the crazy score sweeping mode, specifically picking out formations that no one has ever beaten. This action caused a burst of boos from the crowd watching the live broadcast in the square.
The two people who performed well in the mentality test actually adopted such a low-level score sweeping method in the second test. One of them even played soy sauce throughout the whole process, and the cumulative score was far more than the other candidates, which is really funny. angry again.
Wei He didn’t care, as long as Yuan Chu stayed quietly under his protection.
“Don’t you feel ashamed?” Qiu Luoshui came to Yuan Chu when Wei He was alone again, and sneered, “Other students are taking exams seriously, but you stand by and enjoy the success, don’t you feel ashamed? ?”
Yuan Chu gave her a puzzled look: What position do the people who follow behind to pick up leaks mock her?
Qiu Luoshui didn’t understand the original look, and continued, “If I were you, I wouldn’t rely on Wei He and hold him back.”
Yuan Chu said sincerely: “You are not me, I like to stay by Wei He’s side.”
“You!” Qiu Luoshui glared at him, “It’s shameless!”
In the beginning, I hadn’t seen any ghosts and snakes, and I didn’t care about the low-level curses of such little girls.
At this time, only a loud bang was heard, and a figure shot out from the tumbling smoke and fell on Yuan Chu’s side.
“Broken?” Yuan Chu asked.
Wei He put away the black umbrella: “Broken.”
Without waiting for the original response, Sang Rong, who had been waiting for a long time, had already rushed into the formation and started a new round of leak detection.
The score obtained in this way will be one point lower than the normal break, but it is not against the rules.
Qiu Luoshui glared at Yuan Chu and ran in as well.
Wei He’s eyes sank slightly, and he gestured to Yuan Chu: “Go quickly.”
Yuan Chu nodded, tiptoe a little, and jumped into the smoke that had not yet dissipated.
The array method first repairs the array eye, as long as the newly repaired array eye is destroyed, the corresponding points can be obtained.
When Yuan Chu entered the formation, Sang Rong had successfully picked up the leak, while Qiu Luoshui was waiting for the formation to be repaired again. When Yuan Chu came over, a sullen look flashed in her eyes, and she said to Sang Rong: [Brother Sang Rong, teach me a lesson her? 】
Sang Rong replied: [After the array eyes are repaired, don’t take action yet. This is the Golden Thunder Formation. It is mainly based on lightning attacks. After breaking the formation twice, its power will be greatly improved. I will use the Thunder Induction Technique to deal with her. 】
Qiu Luoshui’s eyes lit up, and there was a show-watching expression on his face.
The original voice transmission can be heard: “…”
The air was quiet, and the three of them were speechless.
After a while, the formation eyes gradually recovered, the clouds condensed, and the lightning intertwined.
Sang Rong pinched his fingers and read the tactic, the thunderclouds rolled over his head, locked on Yuan Chu, and silently shouted: Go!
When the magic trick was struck, Yuan Chu also moved, and in the blink of an eye, only an afterimage was left on the spot, with a bunch of golden lightning flashing past Qiuluo Shui.
Qiu Luoshui only felt the strong wind blowing across her face, and without waiting for her to react, her brain suddenly shook, and countless tiny electric arcs flashed around her body, her hair was charred, her skin was cracked, her muscles spasmed, and she fell to the ground twitching.
Sang Rong froze to the side, so shocked that he didn’t know how to react.
“Ah~~” Qiu Luoshui made a painful and angry voice.
Her injury looked tragic, but it wasn’t serious. The golden thunder in the array that Sang Rong drew with his tactic had limited lethality, but it would only make those who were attacked quite embarrassed.
Sang Rong walked over quickly and helped her up: “Are you all right?”
Qiu Luoshui opened his mouth, spit out a mouthful of black smoke, pushed him away with force, took out a healing pill with trembling hands, and put it into his mouth.
Sang Rong didn’t dare to look directly at this unrecognizable face, so he turned his head and locked on Yuan Chu again, intending to make up for the failure, but when he finished the trick, the thunder cloud above his head suddenly disappeared.
The eye was broken.
The original did not stop, a few vertical jumps, and disappeared into the formation.
Sang Rong: “…”
“I’m so **** off!” Qiu Luoshui clenched his fists and said angrily, “I must kill that little watch!”
Afterwards, she glared at Sang Rong again, “You are already in the foundation-building stage, you don’t need to follow Wei He to pick up bargains. Next, let’s break the battle by ourselves!”
The higher the array level, the higher the score. The reason why they chose to pick up leaks was mainly to save their physical strength in order to cope with the more difficult formations later.
At this time, the formations have basically been upgraded, and it is time for them to start grabbing points.
Wei He spent a lot of mana in the early stage, and he must be unsustainable in the later stage, not to mention that he still has a tow oil bottle, I am afraid that he will never have the opportunity to sweep points.
“How is it?” Wei He asked when he saw Yuan Chuan come out.
“Okay, let’s go.” Yuan Chu looked around and walked towards the northeast.
Wei He didn’t think much about it, and walked to keep up.
Passing by two formations, Yuan Chu suddenly stopped, turned his head and smiled and said, “There is a healing formation in front of you. Let’s go and replenish the spiritual energy first?”
Wei He looked up and found no healing formation.
The Healing Formation is a hidden formation in the trial, equivalent to a safe house. Excessive wear and tear can be quickly repaired in it, but this formation is generally difficult to find.
Sang Rong and Qiu Luoshui also hoped that Wei He would not be physically fit, and they would catch up. Unexpectedly, with just one meditation effort, he will be resurrected full of blue.
The author has something to say: Sang Rong: There is a sentence mmp I don’t know if it should be said or not.
