"Okay, let's start the assessment." As the supervising instructor finished speaking, the assessment disciples immediately lined up in front of him.

"Remember, collecting the items on the list is not the only criterion."

The supervising instructor gave instructions while handing out storage bags.

After all teams have received their storage bags and task lists, the assessment officially begins.

Jiang Ning stepped through the black hole in the array plate and felt that the surrounding environment suddenly became distorted.

At the same time, it seemed as if something was imprisoning her spiritual power.

What followed was a feeling of dizziness that came over my mind.

Jiang Ning calmed down, and when everything returned to normal, the surroundings had changed drastically.

[Jiang Ning, your spiritual power! 】The system suddenly couldn't detect Jiang Ning's spiritual power.

'It's okay. There was a rune that sealed spiritual power on the formation plate just now. It should have been specially added by Chuwu Academy to prevent someone from using spiritual power. 'Jiang Ning explained in his heart.

This restraint is not strong, and she can break free easily.

The four of them were sent to an ancient forest.

Judging from the height and thickness of these trees, they must be hundreds of years old at least.

Some trees have roots that are as tall as a person.

"I'm so dizzy, why are we here?" Yue Yang held the root of the tree and looked at the surrounding environment with his eyes widened in surprise.

"The entrance to the cave just now should be the entrance to the teleportation array. It is normal for you to feel uncomfortable after sitting in the teleportation array for the first time." Nangong Yao explained.

"Where are the people from the other teams?" Yue Yang looked around. Except for the four of them, there was no one else.

"It's probably different from our landing point." Nangong Yao continued.

"Come see what's on our list."

Guan Yixuan opened the cloth scroll as he spoke.

When I opened it, I discovered that the cloth scroll was longer than a human being.

There are nearly a hundred kinds of things recorded in Ling Ling Zong Zong, and each thing is marked with a score according to its degree of cherishment.

And the growth habits of these things appear in different places.

"At least fifty types are required. This task is not easy." Guan Yixuan sighed.

"It's definitely too late to look for them one by one. Let's split up." Nangong Yao suggested.

"Okay." Jiang Ning nodded first.

If she wants to get the physical training results, she must get No. 1 in this assessment.

"Let's work in pairs. We'll first look for herbs and spiritual fruits that are easier to find nearby. We'll gather ten miles south in the evening. When we find more than [-] types of items, we'll look for items with higher values ​​together." Guan Yixuan made a plan.

"it is good."

"Listen to you."

"Just do it."

"I'm in a group with Yueyang, and Jiang Ning is in a group with Miss Nangong. Remember, we must meet ten miles south in the evening." Guan Yixuan warned.

"No problem." The three of them replied in unison.

After writing down the items on the scroll, the four began a careful search.

This search took a whole day.

In the evening, the four of them reunited.

Guan Yixuan lit the fire, and by the light of the fire, the four of them laid out everything they found.

"Three grasses by the river will count for three points."

"Two plants without roots, four points."

"One multi-flower flower is worth three points."

"Three of the Five Techniques are worth six points."

"Two ox hoof fruits are worth two points."

"Four strains of Liuweiqing are worth four points."

"Three Tianhuang pills, worth nine points."

"Nine plants in one Jiazi are counted as nine points."

"One thorn insect is worth four points."

"There are nine types in total, totaling 44 points."

After Guan Yixuan cleared everything one by one, he put everything into storage bags.

"There are only a few kinds of things in this forest. If you keep looking here, it would be quite difficult to find all fifty kinds." Jiang Ning said.

Guan Yixuan nodded.

"Tomorrow morning, we will go south. Try to get out of this woods as soon as possible."

That night, the four of them took turns to keep watch, and the whole night was peaceful.

Early the next morning, the four of them simply packed up and set off again.

In the next three days, the four of them collected assessment items and walked south.

Finally, on the fourth day of the assessment, a swamp appeared in front of everyone.

"There should be a lot of things on the list in this swamp." Guan Yixuan said while holding the scroll.

"I'm afraid I can't just step on it." Jiang Ning scanned the swamp and looked up at the surrounding towering trees. "Let's walk on the trees."

"it is good."

The four of them grabbed the vines and climbed up the tree. Fortunately, several of them were good at walking on the branches.

Jiang Ning had just climbed up the tree when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow from the corner of his eye.

"do not move!"

Jiang Ning shouted at Nangong Yao, then broke off a branch from the side and stabbed it in Nangong Yao's direction with all his strength.

The tree branches carried the power of breaking through the air, heading straight towards the black shadow behind Nan Gongyao.

Nangong Yao paused when she heard Jiang Ning's voice, and the sharp branches almost flew past her cheek.

"Poof!" The branch hit the dark shadow behind Nangong Yao.

Nangong Yao turned around and saw a black snake as thick as an arm, pierced by a branch and stuck straight in the tree.

The branch was inserted into the black snake's body, and the black snake was still squirming.

And its triangular head with the snake letter in it was less than an arm's length away from Nangong Yao.

This shows how thrilling the situation just now was.

Empress Nangong Yao was so scared that she shed cold sweat.

I couldn't imagine what would happen if she was bitten by this poisonous snake.

Thanks to the past few days of acting together with Jiang Ning, a certain amount of trust has been established between the two.

Only then did she listen to Jiang Ning's words and not move.

"Thank you." Nangong Yao thanked her sincerely.

Jiang Ning shook his head, "You're welcome."

"Everyone, be careful. There are many poisonous insects and snakes in the swamp." Yue Yang immediately reminded loudly.

"This place is much more dangerous than the previous woods. Let's not leave separately to avoid encountering a crisis." Guan Yixuan said.

Several people nodded and agreed to the proposal.

Because of the special environment of the swamp, many plants and animals that are not found in the woods grow here.

The four people searched for it all day and found sixteen species.

As night fell, the four of them sat on nearby branches to rest.

"Including things from the past few days, we have found a total of 37 species so far, totaling 230 points." Guan Yixuan counted.

"Then there are only thirteen types left!" Yue Yang was slightly excited.

As the mission was getting closer and closer, he seemed to have seen Chuwu Academy waving to him.

"Why do you want to enter Chuwu Academy so much? Is there someone you like in there?" Guan Yixuan teased.

Yue Yang snorted, "Don't you want to enter Chuwu Academy? Why are you laughing at me?"

"Besides, apart from those aristocratic families, Chuwu Academy is the only place willing to teach cultivation methods to strangers."

"This makes sense. Most of the cultivation methods of aristocratic families are only passed down within the clan. If ordinary people want to learn, they can only obtain it by joining the clan and working hard for the aristocratic family." Guan Yixuan said.

"If I join another family, my father will kill me." Yue Yang couldn't help but wince as he imagined that scene.
