After dinner, Du Yu and the others returned to the Demon Pet Center hotel section.
With an incredibly expectant heart, Du Yu trained hard until midnight, but still couldn’t advance...
Things often don’t go as planned; unable to advance before the big exam, Du Yu felt a bit helpless.
The next day at 7:50 am, Du Yu and his teammates arrived punctually at the grand hall on the first floor of the hotel and found a seat in the back rows.
The grand hall was buzzing with chatter, like a thousand flies buzzing, making it quite irritating.
It wasn’t until the staff displayed the word "Silence" on the big screen at the front that the hall quieted down a bit.
"Here they co," Li ngnan whispered, as a few soldiers and so formally dressed Library personnel walked in from the door and headed straight for the podium.
Gradually, the grand hall fell completely silent.
A middle-aged man stepped onto the podium, holding a microphone: "Good morning, everyone.
I am the overall supervisor of this Demon Spirit Realm, Chen Yunming."
Looking at the slightly immature faces, Chen Yunming smiled and said, "First, congratulations on being among the top 100 of your respective colleges.
Relax a bit, give yourselves so applause."
However, the students did not relax, and the grand hall was dead silent.
Chen Yunming’s smile was a bit quirky: "You know I’m also one of your examiners, right?"
"Clap clap clap~"
"Clap clap!" Soone started clapping, and suddenly, the hall was full of applause, Du Yu even heard whistles.
Very genuine!
Chen Yunming nodded satisfactorily, turned to look at the big screen behind him, and at the sa ti, a map of the Demon Spirit Realm appeared before everyone.
The bottom row from left to right is Zones 1, 2, and 3.
Above that are Zones 4, 5, and 6. At the top are Zones 7, 8, and 9.
The standard division of the Demon Spirit Realm, nothing extraordinary.
Chen Yunming pressed the remote, and the map was divided into three colors.
The top Zones 7, 8, and 9 turned blue, the bottom Zones 1, 2, and 3 turned red, while the middle area remained unchanged.
"You co from 13 Demon Spirit Academies across the province, totaling 1,400 people." He pressed the button again, revealing the nas of the major colleges.
Notably, since Bohai is the provincial capital, with a total of 21 districts and counties, there are more branches of the Bohai City Demon Spirit Academy, so the Library allocated 200 spots for it.
Chen Yunming: "The Library and schools have divided you into two camps based on your overall strength, the Blue Team and the Red Team.
You can look at the location of your own academy. The colleges in the sa color area belong to the sa camp."
Li ngnan widened her eyes, searching the big screen: "Ancient Pine Tower Demon Spirit Academy... we’re in the Red Team camp, right at the center of Zone 2.
This is a good position, surrounded by allies!"
Lin Shiwei silently pondered, whispering, "Not so simple, right? Being in Zone 2 ans we’re in the heart of the Red Team’s base camp, there must be so implications?"
"Ah..." Li ngnan mused for a while, then continued, "Look at the Blue Team’s base camp; right at the center of Zone 8 is Bohai City Demon Spirit Academy."
Du Yu nodded quietly, it felt a bit like the ’King’ versus the ’General’ in chess, perhaps?
Although the Blue Team has only 6 colleges and the Red Team has 7, in terms of reference numbers, both sides are balanced.
Chen Yunming tapped the microphone, reminding everyone to focus, and continued to speak: "Next, I’ll explain the exam content."
"Each of the Red and Blue Teams has three flags, placed right at the center of Zones 1, 2, 3, and 7, 8, 9 respectively.
This also indicates whether the area belongs to the Red Team or the Blue Team.
For each area maintained in its color for one hour, 100 points are added to your camp.
Using Zone 2 as an example, once the flag is destroyed or captured, the area will no longer belong to the Red, becoming an unclaid territory.
You’ll lose the 100 points per hour inco from Zone 2 as well."
Chen Yunming paused, then continued: "Seizing or destroying the enemy’s flag will also add a certain amount of points to your camp.
The individual students who complete this task will be awarded extra personal points."
"Capturing flags?" Li ngnan mumbled to herself, her eyes shining brightly!
She had just contracted the Dust Spirit Deer, moreover, a Celestial Level·Peak Stage Dust Spirit Deer!
In terms of speed, who could match her?
Among 1,400 people, perhaps only Third Sister’s Bai Lu could compare; even more incredible, Third Sister is in the sa camp as her!
Chen Yunming paced back and forth on the podium: "There are also other ways to help your camp win.
Your camp also has a certain number of flags. Do you see Zones 4, 5, and 6?"
Chen Yunming gestured to the big screen, where Zones 4, 5, and 6 in the Demon Spirit Realm were without color blocks.
Chen Yunming: "Take your flags and plant them in designated spots in Zones 4, 5, and 6, dyeing the area red or blue.
Starting from the second the flag is planted, every hour that passes will provide your camp with 100 points."
Chen Yunming continued: "The exam duration is 48 hours; you need to adjust your rest ti accordingly.
Additionally, neither water nor food will be provided, and you cannot bring any into the field; you must resolve all issues yourselves.
Although we cleared out the Demon Beasts from the Otherworld, the Demonic Plants remain. If you are too hungry, you can try eating so Demon Plant Fruit.
Of course, if you find it unpalatable, you won’t die from hunger over two days."
Chen Yunming laughed cheerfully, but to the students, he seed quite annoying?
Starving for two days won’t kill us, but we have to fight, how can the energy consumption not be significant?
Du Yu, however, didn’t mind.
Eat Demon Plant Fruit?
I’m best at this!
Hungry or not, I have to eat it every day...
Chen Yunming suddenly said, "There are two ways to end the exam early."
He held up two fingers: "Within 48 hours, if all mbers of a camp perish, the exam ends early.
Within 48 hours, carry your flag and plant it in the opponent’s camp, wiping out either red or blue from the map completely!"
Chen Yunming paused, giving the students enough ti to digest the information. As the murmurs died down, he continued, "That’s the team-level strategy. On a personal level, there’s also a set of criteria."
As he spoke, he took out a small, pitch-black marble from his pocket.
"The Black Pearl, produced by the Water Demonic Beast - Black Clam."
"Pop!" With a crisp sound, Chen Yunming actually crushed the Black Pearl.
Under pressure, the tiny pearl exploded like a bomb, and with the help of the microphone, the faint blast sound echoed throughout the hall.
The black powder spread, thoroughly contaminating Chen Yunming’s hand.
"The Black Pearl is very fragile, just like the lives of us Demon Tars." Chen Yunming shook his hand, but the black powder seed difficult to wipe away.
He looked at the students in the hall: "When you return to your rooms, you’ll find that the staff have placed your battle attire at the head of your bed.
On the chest of the battle attire, there will be a Black Pearl. If the pearl is broken, it ans you’ve perished."
"Huh?"
"This..."
"Quiet!" Chen Yunming’s voice echoed throughout the hall, "If you don’t want to be deed dead, then protect it with your Demon Soldiers, Demon Pets, and Demon Breath Battle Robe, but you are not allowed to move the Black Pearl.
If the Black Pearl is shattered, the student must imdiately leave the arena, and the attacker must also stop attacking imdiately; otherwise, they will be disqualified.
You are all elites from your respective schools, and every move you make is under surveillance.
So, strictly adhere to the exam rules, don’t embarrass your alma mater, and certainly don’t bring sha to your hotown."
Looking at the now quiet auditorium, Chen Yunming nodded with satisfaction: "Each ti you kill an enemy, your camp gains 5 points.
Similarly, the student themselves also gain 5 points.
However, the personal assessnt is not just based on the number of enemy kills.
Your performance in the exam, whether guarding the flag, devising strategies, rescuing teammates, or any other actions, will all be comprehensively evaluated with corresponding score increases."
After saying all this in one breath, Chen Yunming patiently waited for 10 seconds, then suddenly raised his voice: "Attention everyone!"
The whispering students imdiately stopped talking, and all eyes turned to the front.
"Both the red and blue sides have a special character." Chen Yunming gestured towards the big screen.
Du Yu: ???
The scene before him left him completely dumbfounded!
On the big screen, Du Yu actually saw himself!
Li ngnan’s mouth ford an "O" shape, and she gripped Du Yu’s arm: "This?"
Although Chen Yunming hadn’t yet explained how this character was special, Li ngnan already realized the situation wasn’t good!
Similarly, Lin Shiwei and others beside her realized the seriousness of the issue.
Lin Shung was very curious: "Hey? Isn’t that my little uncle?"
Du Yu: "..."
Chen Yunming: "This is the special character of the red camp.
Du Yu, from Ancient Pine Tower Demon Spirit Academy.
Smash the Black Pearl on this person’s battle attire, personal reward points 100, camp increases points 100."
"You’re really sothing, second brother," Li ngnan whispered, "You’re like a one-hour big flag, huh?"
Du Yu covered his face, only feeling his head buzzing!
Why,
why does the Library do this to ?
Have I taken too many Library Rings...
Chen Yunming said in a deep voice: "High rewards naturally an high risks, students still need to act within their ans."
"This is the special character of the blue camp. Liu Junting, from Bohai City Demon Spirit Academy.
Defeating the enemy’s special character is key to ranking high in personal points.
As special characters, both students also have certain privileges. Before entering the exam, they can register two Demon Pets to switch use during the exam.
Note, it’s switch use, only one Demon Pet can be on the field at a ti.
As for all other students, they can only use one Demon Pet and cannot change it midway.
If any violation occurs, it will be treated as cheating, and they will be directly removed from the exam venue."
"Huh?" Lin Shung was not happy, "Only allowed to use one Demon Pet, huh? I specifically brought 4!"
In the back seats, Lin Shihao’s face was serious: "We’ll have to configure this carefully."
Lin Shiwei turned to look at Du Yu, softly saying, "I’ll register the Dust Spirit Deer, at least you can escape imdiately if you’re chased."
Li ngnan whispered, "Second brother, if it doesn’t work out, just don’t go out, guard the ho... uh, guard the flag!"
Du Yu: "..."
