Cultivation: Become God by playing a game

In a huge conference room on the campus of No. 2 High School.

Teachers from three schools and ten observers from the Taoist academy were gathered here at this moment, watching the students' performance in the examination room on the screen carefully.

"Ten days in the simulated battlefield are equivalent to one day in reality. Who do you think can hold on to the end of this joint exam?"

A teacher from No. 2 High School looked at the candidates who were struggling on the screen and asked a teacher from No. 3 High School next to him with a smile.

The teacher from No. 3 High School thought for a moment and replied, "Lu Xiaoye from No. 1 High School, Bian Shouyi, Chu Gucai, and Jin Shanli from No. 2 High School, and Liu Zhaodao from No. 3 High School, these people should all have a chance."

"After all, not only have they reached the peak of the Qi gathering stage, but they also each have their abilities."

"Lu Xiaoye has awakened her innate magical power; Bian Shouyi has an innate sword body; Chu Gucai and Jin Shanli are both from cultivator families; and as for Liu Zhaodao from our school, there's no need to mention him."

"If he wasn't the grandson of our principal, he would have been recommended to one of the four major academies long ago. The college entrance examination would have been just a formality for him."

The teacher from No. 2 High School nodded in agreement with the remarks made by the teacher from No. 3 High School.

Because in this joint examination, many students reached the peak of the Qi gathering stage.

But as experienced people, they naturally know that even if they are both at the peak of the Qi gathering stage, there is still a gap between them.

After all, for the Immortal Alliance, reaching 10,000 spiritual power points is the pinnacle of the Qi gathering stage.

But for many geniuses, the upper limit of their spiritual power during the Qi gathering stage is not 10,000 points.

For example, Lu Xiaoye and others they just mentioned are a small group of gifted people whose spiritual power limit is far beyond that of ordinary people.

But just when these teachers turned their attention to Lu Xiaoye and other long-famous geniuses.

A Taoist temple observer who had been silent all along keenly discovered a potential stock that was not on his list.

He looked at Su Chen, who was actively looking for the Nine Nether Evil creatures on the screen and was secretly surprised.

Because he saw with his own eyes how Su Chen killed four Nine Nether Evil creatures, the Spider-Faced Man, in an instant.

Although there are also many people in this group of candidates who can do this.

After all, the Spider-Faced Man can only be regarded as a small soldier among the group of Nine Nether evil creatures and does not pose much threat.

But it is impossible to kill these four spider-faced men so cleanly and efficiently in a completely dark environment.

It not only requires the candidates to have outstanding abilities but also requires them to have a strong character and not be affected by this harsh environment.

Character is a quality that cannot be seen from data on paper but is equally important for monks.

All in all, Su Chen, who was able to accomplish this was quite impressive.

What's more, judging from the data alone, this candidate named Su Chen seems to have great potential.

It's strange; why didn't he receive any news from the Ministry of Education in advance about such a candidate?

Could it be that he has just risen to prominence recently due to some fortuitous encounter?

The investigator lowered his head and carefully looked at the data about Su Chen that he had just found on his phone.

[Name: Su Chen]

[School: Jiangnan City No. 1 High School]

[Cultivation: Ninth level of Qi gathering stage]

[Spiritual Root Qualification: Top-grade Five Elements Spiritual Root]

[Evaluation: He is suspected to have excellent comprehension and a very high level of sword skills.]

Top-grade spiritual roots, excellent comprehension, outstanding sword skills, and a steady mind...

No, how could there be no news about such a child with outstanding potential before? Could it be that he is a Trump card that has been hidden for a long time?

They didn't want him to miss the college entrance exam because of the recommendation, but they wanted him to shine in the college entrance exam and make Jiangnan City No. 1 High School famous.

Thinking of this, the Taoist academy observer secretly wrote down Su Chen's name and prepared to focus on observing him.

After all, if he could dig out a seed, that could be admitted to one of the four major academies.

This is a great achievement for him!

Joint examination of three schools in the ruins of Yushan City.

At this time, a full ten hours had passed since the joint entrance examination began.

Although the ten hours in the exam are only one hour in reality.

But it was just these short ten hours.

Of the original 875 candidates, more than 200 have been eliminated, leaving only more than 600.

Moreover, the number of people being eliminated is still increasing, which shows how difficult this exam is.

After these ten hours of baptism, many candidates have initially adapted to the environment of this alien battlefield.

Only by understanding what to do can we better exert our strengths.

If there were still people who were stupid enough to act on the streets in broad daylight at the beginning.

After today, most exams will choose to proceed with caution.

"It's getting dark soon, and it's almost time for me to act."

Su Chen stood in front of the window of an apartment above the underground garage, quietly observing the scene on the street.

Although he has verified that he can gain experience points by killing evil creatures in this joint examination.

But as the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

If he behaves too hastily, he will attract a large number of evil creatures from the Nine Nether Clan and be trapped in the vast army of evil creatures.

Then even if he has many Trump cards, he is bound to die.

Not to mention that there are some evil creatures in the foundation-establishment stage.

Therefore, his best approach was undoubtedly to ambush those lone evil creatures as much as possible and move to another place after shooting them.

The main guerrilla tactics are to retreat when the enemy advances and harass when the enemy retreats.

In this way, he can stay in the joint examination longer and gain more experience points.

After all, he was planning to gain enough experience points directly in this joint exam to upgrade the skill of "Dragon Roar Sky Breaking Strike" to the "Extreme State.".

[Dragon Roar Sky Breaking Strike: Extreme State 1/30000]

"Thirty thousand experience points; I don't know if I can reach that this time."

Su Chen looked at the sky outside the window, which had completely darkened, then turned and walked out of the room.

The hunt...begins!

At nine o'clock in the evening, on a street in the ruins of Yushan City.

"Zheng Liu, haven't I told you many times not to use the Red Flame Talisman carelessly? It's too easy to expose your target and attract evil creatures around you!"

Chai Xi pulled the spear out from the spider-masked man's head in front of him and said to Zheng Liu beside him with a little dissatisfaction.

Zheng Liu also has her explanation for this.

"No need for the Red Flame Talisman; no need for the Red Flame Talisman, Chai Xi; you think I am a crude body cultivator like you, but I am a Talisman Master; do you understand, Talisman Master?"

"Besides, what else can I use if I don't use the Scarlet Flame Talisman? It is the most powerful attack talisman I can use at the moment."

"But we don't need your talisman attacks. Just focus on giving us auxiliary talismans."

Facing Chai Xi's scolding, Zheng Liu groaned and tilted her head.

After all, she knew that she had been a bit rash just now.

She shouldn't use a talisman-like the Red Flame Talisman in the dark, as it would produce a lot of light and explosion noise.

But it couldn't be all her fault!

Who made the spider-faced man so scary? He suddenly broke through the encirclement of Chai Xi and Xu Jianliang and rushed towards her.

This is her instinctive reaction, okay?

Seeing Zheng Liu's somewhat aggrieved expression, Xu Jianliang from the trio immediately acted as a peacemaker.

"Alright, alright, Chai Xi, don't talk about her anymore. It's my fault that I didn't stop that evil creature, which caused Xiao Liu to overreact."

Seeing that Xu Jianliang said this, Chai Xi didn't say anything more.

After all, unity is very necessary for a team of three.

You know, it is a very rare thing for the three of them to meet early in such a large examination room.

As long as they don't do what they did last time during the mock exam at No. 1 High School and be so foolish as to provoke a monster like Su Chen.

With their current excellent configuration of 'one body, one symbol, and one technique', they will surely achieve good results in this joint examination.

After all, in this joint examination format, it is very normal for candidates to cooperate.

In other words, in such a chaotic battlefield, they can only maximize their respective advantages by cooperating.

"Okay, we've almost cleared out the evil things here, so we'd better..."

Just when Xu Jianliang was about to talk to the other two about the next plan.

Chai Xi, who was standing by, discovered something and suddenly pushed the two of them to the side.

And just as he pounced on the two people, a huge worm crawled out from where the three of them had just stood.

Several people rolled on the ground several times before they stopped.

After getting up again, Xu Jianliang and Zheng Liu looked at the huge creature that was ten meters long. Their heads seemed to be hit by a sledgehammer, and they instantly lost the ability to think.

A giant armored worm at the peak of the Qi gathering stage?

[Name: Giant armored worm]

[Race: Nine Nether Clan]

[Strength: eighth level of Qi Gathering Stage]

[Features: A very common worm in the Nine Netherworlds. Although it has no vision, its hearing and sense of smell are extremely sensitive. Its body surface is hard and invulnerable to swords and spears.]

"What now?"

Zheng Liu looked at this huge creature with a pale face.

"What else can I do? Run!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chai Xi was the first to run to the other end of the street.

Zheng Liu and Xu Jianliang also came to their senses at this time and immediately ran away with Chai Xi.

As for the option of turning back to fight the giant armored worm, the three of them didn't think about it for even a second.

Fight? What can the three of them use to fight this giant armored worm?

Turning back is just delivering food to the giant armored worm; just run and it's over!

On the street, the three of them ran wildly, and the giant armored worm behind them chased them madly.

The giant armored worm, with a body as big as a small train, was able to move freely in the streets.

The abandoned vehicles along the way were like fragile toy cars in front of it and were easily crushed.

Seeing this, Zheng Liu and the other two had no choice but to run toward the surrounding streets and alleys.

She wanted to use the complex terrain to slow down the giant armored worm's pursuit and thus get rid of it.

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

The giant armored worm's extremely hard body makes it like a bulldozer.

It will knock down anything that's blocking it.

As a result, the three of them were not only unable to distance themselves from it but were even about to be caught up by it.

Feeling the increasing noise behind her, Zheng Liu, who was running at the back, subconsciously looked back.

And just this one look almost frightened her to the point of screaming on the spot.

Because the giant armored worm was only more than ten meters away from her at this time.

At this distance, she could even see the remaining flesh threads on the giant worm's teeth, which was extremely visually impactful.

She couldn't imagine what would happen if she was bitten by this guy!

It was just a mock exam, and she wouldn't die, but Zheng Liu had already forgotten all that.

She only regarded these as real battlefields.

"What should we do? What should we do? Come up with a solution!"

Zheng Liu cried and shouted.

Hearing this, Chai Xi quickly analyzed their current situation.

"No, if we continue like this, none of us will be able to escape!"

"What shall we do then?"

Zheng Liu cried out again.

Just when Chai Xi was about to shout for everyone to run separately, Xu Jianliang suddenly spoke.

"I'll stop it; you guys go first."

"ah?!"

Zheng Liu and Chai Xi looked at Xu Jianliang in astonishment as he stopped on his initiative and prepared to face the giant armored worm alone, and were stunned on the spot.

Among them, Zheng Liu, who was more emotional, was so moved that she burst into tears when she saw Xu Jianliang's heroic and tragic scene.

Even Chai Xi, who had always been relatively calm, saw this scene.

He couldn't help but admire him.

However, he guessed that Xu Jianliang wanted to show off in front of Zheng Liu and show off his so-called heroism and machoism.

But he has to say, Brother Xu, you played this trick beautifully, because you do it when something happens!

Although he was touched, he still had to run. Chai Xi not only did not stop but ran even faster.

After all, for an old hand like him, his main skill is to develop sneakily.

He never does anything that he knows is impossible.

As for Zheng Liu...

Although she was very touched, she kept running because she was timid and afraid of insects.

On the street, Xu Jianliang, who was left alone, looked at the giant armored worms that were attacking quickly and took a deep breath.

In Xiao Liu's eyes, he should be very handsome now... right?

Then he calmly looked at the giant armored worm not far away and suddenly roared, "Come on you monster!"

Faced with the provocation from Xu Jianliang, a weak human, the giant armored worm immediately sped up, ready to happily enjoy the takeaway that was delivered to its mouth.

Just when the giant armored worm approached a certain distance, Xu Jianliang suddenly put his hands on the ground, and the wood-attributed spiritual power in his body poured out without reservation.

A large number of wooden thorns appeared from the ground, blocking the path of the giant armored worm.

If it were any other evil creature from the Nine Nether Clan with a weaker body, it might have chosen to avoid Xu Jianliang's dense wooden thorns at this time.

But the giant armored worm with hard body armor is not afraid of this at all.

After all, cars and concrete walls can crash into each other at will, let alone the earth spikes unleashed by a mere seventh-level Qi-gathering stage cultivator like him.

Boom boom boom!

Xu Jianliang's wooden spikes ultimately failed to pose any threat to the giant armored worm and were smashed to pieces in an instant.

Soon, it rushed to Xu Jianliang and opened its bloody mouth to bite him.

Looking at this scene, Xu Jianliang felt very calm.

After all, he never thought from the beginning how long he could stop this giant armored worm.

His real purpose was to sacrifice his own life to buy time for his beloved classmate Zheng Liu to escape!

Never underestimate a man's determination to protect the person he secretly loves!

Looking at the bloody mouth of the giant armored worm getting closer and closer, Xu Jianliang closed his eyes calmly.

Everything... is about to end. He hopes that Student Zheng can escape safely.

But almost at the same time, he closed his eyes, and a familiar and loud dragon roar sounded in his ears.

Swish!

Accompanied by a strong wind blowing past his ears, Xu Jianliang only heard a sharp, cutting sound.

A moment later, he heard two more sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Then Xu Jianliang felt a warm sensation on his face as if some liquid had been spilled on his face.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the originally huge giant armored worm had been split into two by someone.

Two bodies fell on both sides of the street, and a large amount of black blood covered the ground.

Looking at this scene, Xu Jianliang's mind went blank.

What happened?

"Student Xu, being a bootlicker is doomed to have no future."

Xu Jianliang turned his head and looked at Su Chen, who was walking out of the alley next to him, and the magic sword in his right hand was still shaking.

Finally, he came to his senses.

There is no doubt that the person who suddenly appeared and killed the giant armored worm with one sword to save himself was Su Chen in front of him.

But classmate Su, when did he become so powerful? 

Looking at Xu Jianliang, who was still in a daze, Su Chen didn't say much but turned to look in the direction where Chai Xi and Zheng Liu ran away.

Because the two people who should have run away actually rushed towards them at this time.

Behind these two people, there was a new giant armored worm!

These two unfortunate guys had just escaped from the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den!

Chai Xi ran away desperately while shouting, "No, Zheng Liu, why didn't you tell me you were having your period? You screwed me so much!"

Zheng Liu, who was standing by, cried and loudly retorted in dissatisfaction.

"How could I have known that this holographic helmet was so real that it could even perfectly replicate the timing of my period?"

Just as the two were forced to run back, blaming each other.

They also suddenly saw Su Chen and Xu Jianliang standing next to the giant armored worm's corpse.

What's going on?!

With a little shock, the two ran to Su Chen and Xu Jianliang and stopped for some unknown reason.

What made the two of them even more confused was that the second giant armored worm was attracted by the smell of blood on Zheng Liu.

For some reason, she also stopped at this moment and stood more than ten meters away from them with a fearful look on her face.

It looked as if she was frightened by something.

Chai Xi looked at the giant armored worm corpse next to Su Chen and Xu Jianliang and quickly came to his senses.

He pointed at the corpse of the giant armored worm next to him and said in disbelief, "Student Su, did you do this?"

Su Chen didn't have time to answer his question. Instead, he walked past him and took the initiative to walk toward another giant armored worm.

After all, with such rich experience points in front of him, he had no time to answer Chai Xi's questions.

Looking at Su Chen, who was approaching him actively, the giant armored worm that seemed invincible in the eyes of Chai Xi and others began to retreat continuously.

Although Su Chen can lower his aura.

But when the distance was close enough, the giant armored worm with keen hearing and sense of smell could still sense at the first moment that he was not someone to be trifled with, so it was very afraid of him.

As Su Chen got closer, the giant armored worm could no longer hold on.

Under the shocked gazes of Chai Xi and others, the second giant armored worm that was chasing them suddenly turned its head and tried to burrow into the ground to escape.

When Su Chen saw this scene, his face turned cold.

"Did I... tell you to leave?"

After he finished speaking, Su Chen took a step forward.

Immediately afterward, his figure turned into a shadow and instantly appeared above the body of the giant armored worm.

At this time, one-third of the giant armored worm's body had already drilled into the ground.

In response to this, Su Chen's eyes flashed, and the magic sword in his right hand once again let out a roar like a dragon's roar.

Sword technique...Water Dragon Roar!

"Roar!"
