Rune Master

The examination room for the first test is not here. After the examiner's concise opening remarks, the talisman masters participating in the trial must go to the venue.

Jing Chen bid farewell to Ling Yi, and left the square with Jin Su and other members of the Danfu Alliance.

"Don't watch it, watch it when no one is there." Guo Qi teased.

When I first found out that Jing Chen was representing the Danfu Alliance to participate in the competition, the degree of shock was no less than seeing two people appearing in Youtu City a few days ago-I didn't expect Ling Yi to be the one who happened by the way.

But that's good too, during the period when Jing Chen is going to participate in the competition, he also has the opportunity to exchange ideas with Ling Yi, isn't it?

"We are going to go to the plains for training, do you want to come together?" Guo Qi invited.

Ling Yi withdrew his gaze and glanced at Guo Qi, unexpectedly that the other party had the same thoughts as himself, then his eyes fell on a group of expectant people behind him, and said coolly, "No, I'm used to being alone. "

Guo Qi shrugged helplessly at such an obvious refusal. Well, he almost expected such a result before he spoke.

Jing Chen followed Luo Xi, and heard the other party introduce the division of power among the group of examiners.

"Over there is Ximing College, which is also the most powerful in the five continents. In the last genius competition, thirteen of the two hundred candidates were selected, including eight martial arts masters, two alchemy masters, and two formation masters. A talisman teacher, and a tool talisman teacher." Luo Xi said, and nodded with a smile on the leader who was looking across, and continued, "The relationship between Nanze Prefecture and Ximing Prefecture is pretty good."

Thirteen out of the two hundred places is not too much, how weak are the other states?Thinking of this, Jing Chen was a little speechless, and asked in puzzlement, "What is the entrance exam for this Spirit Talisman Academy?"

From the time he heard the news until now, he has been fooled by the so-called ten-academy competition, genius battle, and alchemy conference.

"Naturally, we select people who are qualified to enter the Spirit Talisman Academy. Only by entering there can we find better follow-up development." Luo Xi sighed, "It's just that the younger generation of the five continents are far behind the geniuses of Miduoyu , so screening must be carried out before the trials."

"Not only the alchemy conference, the genius battle, but also the 'Jiuyi Discussion' held by the array talisman masters and the 'consecration conference' held by the tool talisman masters. In the final analysis, it is equivalent to the audition for the qualifying competition." Luo Xi said Deeply helpless, "But even so, the average number of people who can be finally selected in each state is no more than ten."

There is the only channel in the talisman world in the Spirit Talisman Academy, which connects the massive resources of the two worlds. Over the years, even if Wuzhou knows that he is like a low-level laborer to select the most elite students for the above, he still fights for those resources.

Even up to now, the number of people selected in each qualifying competition has become the standard for the strength of the continent.

"So." Luo Xi patted Jing Chen on the shoulder, "You must fight for me, don't hide your clumsiness, come back with the top three, it will be half a leg to enter the academy, let those guys keep their eyes open."

The corner of Jing Chen's mouth twitched, you really don't have to have so much confidence in me.

Walking while talking, everyone soon arrived at the examination place.

Located on the south side of Youtu City, it is a vast and dry land.

The soil here is not sand, the temperature is extremely high, but the ground is not dry and cracked due to extreme lack of water, it is hard and hot like a piece of soldering iron.

"Jin Su, are you okay?" Jing Chen looked at the woman beside him.

Since Meng and Ha Jin were not participants, they entrusted people to themselves before they separated.

"En." Jin Su took a sip of water, she was more resistant to heat than ordinary sea monsters, but the high temperature here was much higher than when she was in the city, which took away a lot of water in her body.

Jingchen nodded and looked forward.

There were more than 300 people who arrived at the first test site. In addition to the major forces, there were also some scattered and solitary Danfu masters who were alone or gathered in three or two at the moment.

"Next, each of you will be assigned a Prison Fire Bead, and the Ming Ding Huo used for judging will be based on the level of the flame captured in this bead." The person who presided over this test is a nine-star martial arts master .

The middle-aged man has a strong body, and he didn't wear clothes specially designed to regulate the temperature of his skin. He didn't sweat a single drop in such a high temperature, and his control over himself had reached a terrifying level.

"Remember, each Prisoner Fire Bead can only be captured once." The middle-aged man glanced at the people on the field and reminded, "So, before you are sure that this is the Ming Dinghuo you want to capture, don't waste this opportunity easily .”

"Okay, for some other precautions, your seniors must have told you about it, so I won't go into details here. Now it is repaired on the spot, and the trial will start in half an hour."

Jing Chen stared at the Prison Fire Bead in his hand thoughtfully, and asked Luo Xi for a while, "How can they ensure that the fire we handed in at the end must be caught on the spot, not prepared?"

After all, the other party did not ask them to hand over the storage ring, nor did they check it, so the possibility of cheating is very high.

Luo Xi was explaining the usage of the Prisoner Fire Orb to Jin Su, and when he heard Jing Chen's question, he said with a smile, "The people who supervised the exam were all sent by the Spirit Talisman Academy, and these Prisoner Fire Orbs were naturally tampered with, how many are they sending out now? , how much will be recovered by then.”

"Another point is that it has something to do with the characteristics of Ming Ding fire. If you leave Youtu City, or capture the fire and put it in the storage ring, its fire energy will also be weakened by nearly [-]%, which is no different from ordinary fire. What's the use of it."

"Of course, the most important thing is." Luo Xi made a fool of himself, pointing to the high-star warriors scattered around the crowd, and said, "The whole exam is under their surveillance. If you can cheat successfully, then you are also a talent."

"Oh, that's right." Luo Xi continued, "The first exam requires you to act alone, and you can't shoot at other people, otherwise you will be disqualified directly. If you have any questions, hurry up and ask now."

Half an hour later, the invigilators went over the test rules before everyone set off. At this point, the first three-day test began.

Jing Chen said goodbye to everyone and walked in one direction.

Acting alone is exactly what he wants, but if there are too many people, it will be difficult for him to use it. The storage ring has already filled the food and water for the past few days, and the next step is to rely on chance.

The Prison Fire Bead is the size of an adult's fist. Because of its special nature, it cannot be put into the storage ring. Jing Chen thought for a while, took out a rope, wove a net bag and hung it around his waist.

This place is also called Mingding dry land, and it is the hottest place in Youtu City, occupying two-thirds of the land bounded by Youtu City, and it is also the only gathering place for Mingdinghuo.

Since the test was held here, the entire Mingding Dryland was cleared in advance, except for more than 300 people who took the test and the invigilators, there was no one else.

After walking for half a day, when the sun was at its hottest after noon, Jing Chen found a shady place with huge boulders to rest, took out the water bag and drank it in big gulps.

Walking in this environment is the most test of endurance, and such harsh high-temperature weather is undoubtedly a test of the quality of candidates.

After drinking the water, Jing Chen took out the fried small yellow croaker that Ling Yi had prepared, threw it into his mouth, squinted his eyes and ate comfortably, while thinking about the next action.

According to what Luo Xi said, Ming Dinghuo is divided into seven grades, and the grades are divided according to the colors of the rainbow from red to purple. The darker the color, the better the quality.

Along the way, Jingchen found quite a few Ming Dinghuo with his powerful spiritual sense, but he skipped all of them up to the yellow-orange level.

The flame level is related to the third level of alchemy, so Jing Chen made a decision at the beginning, not to take the non-green flame. Presumably many people should have the same idea as him.

After resting for a while, Jing Chen took out a map and spread it on the ground. On the small animal skin, the approximate distribution area of ​​Mingding dry land was simply marked.

For example, the resting stone where he is now is represented by an irregular figure on it.

Naturally, this map could not have been provided by the examiner, otherwise the significance of the assessment would be less than half. After all, it also marked which locations are easier to catch high-level Ming Ding flames.

Jing Chen's gaze fell on the location marked with turquoise on the map. When Luo Xi gave him the map, he specifically mentioned the meanings of these colors.

The composition of the map is derived from the experience of the Danfu masters who participated in the assessment in the past few sessions. Presumably, all major forces have their own unique features.

After thinking for a while, Jing Chen decided to go to the south side of the boulder according to his own feeling, which was not marked on the map, which shows that it is not an area rich in flames.

In the distance, a figure appeared within sight. It was a fellow examinee. The other party obviously noticed that there was someone under the boulder, and slowed down a little.

Fortunately, Jingchen stood up, anyway, he had enough rest, and according to the rules that he couldn't form a team, he didn't want to cause trouble.

As he continued walking, there were only a few Ming Ding Huos that could be scanned with his consciousness along the way, but the slightly rising temperature made him realize that he was heading in the right direction.

Jing Chen drank two sips of water, suddenly felt mental power sweeping over his head, froze for a moment, and moved forward again.

The sky was getting dark, and looking along the distant horizon, one could only see a piece of barren land, and the rare withered yellow on it made this place not look like a desert.

In this way, the time passed by one day.

Jing Chen took out the wood he had prepared and lit a fire, and put two pieces of bacon on it.

"This fire is also weird." Jing Chen held a small green and bluish flame in his palm. The temperature of the irregular flame was not high, and the flame glowed upwards to form a "Ding" character.

After walking for a day, this is the highest-level flame he can encounter, and he will never let it go.However, before the exam time is over, they will not be captured with prisoner fire beads at will.

The bacon on the fire exuded a tempting aroma, Jingchen wrapped Ming Dinghuo with spiritual power and threw it to the ground to prevent it from sneaking back into the ground.

After a night's rest, Jing Chen changed his strategy the next day.

On the first day, he used his spiritual sense to search for the underground flames. Although the effect was good, the higher the level of flames, the more difficult it was to search. According to this calculation, when the flames reach a certain quality, it is not impossible for him to not be able to find them.

And in the past, it's not that no one has found the purple-level Ming Dinghuo, and the other party can do it without divine consciousness, so there must be other ways.

But, what is this other way?By simply sensing flames?

Jing Chen's eyes fell on the captured green flame again, and suddenly he had a feeling in his heart, and covered his consciousness.
