Chapter 459 Semester Assessment Trial

Time flies, and it has been several months.

Ji Xun came to the Royal Academy for the extraordinary knowledge in the library.

So he almost gave up all extra social activities.

No dances, no dinners, no participation in any extraordinary clubs.

Every day, his life is almost a straight line between the library and the teaching building.

Every day, he immerses himself in the ocean of books, absorbing a huge amount of extraordinary knowledge like a whale.

However, the Royal Academy has too many books.

Even if there is a clone, Ji Xun feels that it may take hundreds of years to read them all.

Fortunately, although the Royal Academy has countless books, they are also very regular.

This is the result of countless predecessors in the academy for more than two thousand years.

The books on the bookshelf are not like sand, giving people a messy feeling.

But like a "tree".

The hundreds of millions of books in the entire library are divided into categories.

A category is a big tree.

For example, fire spells are a large category, like a "trunk".

Then there are many "branches", such as element theory, structure of spells, seals, spells, barriers, mysteries, etc.

Finally, there are various spells as colorful as "leaves".

The whole library is a forest of knowledge.

Each category has some authoritative card masters' notes and explanations in this field, as well as librarians' labels to guide readers on how to choose the direction they need.

This greatly improves the efficiency of finding books and reading for students in the library.

And Ji Xun's comprehension is extremely high, and his ontology realm is also very high.

Reading those basic classics is almost a hundred-fold knowledge.

For many categories of books, you often read the general outline and find a few representative works, and you can basically understand the general framework of this type of knowledge.

In addition to his photographic memory and the ability to read multiple books at the same time, he has read a large number of books in the past few months.

He has a rough understanding of almost all categories in the library.

When you see your own shortcomings and what you are interested in, you should learn more about it, even if it is literature, art, or history.

The legend of the Southern Continent is that it is the origin of the Kashi civilization. Although it is not as glorious as the Talen Empire in the Old Continent, it is far more profound in history than the Old Continent.

These classics contain a lot of knowledge about various discontinuous civilizations that Ji Xun had never heard of before.

Doxie civilization, Lordaeron civilization, Alterac ruins civilization, and ancient Lodami river civilization.

These ancient documents that Ji Xun saw when he visited the Adventurer's Market before can all be found in the library.

These classics are like a mysterious veil covering the world, which is being peeled off layer by layer.

It is visible to the naked eye that Ji Xun has a better understanding of this world.

Because Ji Xun has been in the library for a long time, he gradually lost his sense of presence in the college.

In contrast, the reputations of the other members of the 16th team of the Langdon family are becoming more and more famous among the freshmen of the college.

Especially David, Gang Duoduo, and Seri.

After successfully changing their jobs, their strength and talent have really exploded.

Because of the "S-level" evaluation of the trial when they entered school, several people have been challenged.

This high-intensity challenge rhythm has given them valuable practical experience. In addition, the magic secrets and 100,000 credits awarded at the beginning of the school year have made them grow faster than other students.

Even the nun Zhuosha and the assassin Gale have ranked first in the same professional sequence.

This day.

Ji Xun walked out of the library.

At the entrance of the library, the five teammates who had been blocking the door early saw him at the first time and greeted him enthusiastically: "Hey, Su Lun, we are here!"

Ji Xun walked over with a smile and greeted: "Are you all here?"

Hearing this, Seri complained: "You are really a guy. You are not going to prepare for the semester trial today, and you are still hanging out in the library?"

Ji Xun listened and laughed, "It's a trial, what's there to prepare for."

Don't look at this guy with a lizard face, his heart is purer than most humans.

Hearing this, Zhuo Sha's face under the black and white nun's headscarf showed a faint smile, and said: "That's right. For others, this kind of trial must be well prepared. But for [Polymath], reading books in the library is preparation."

"Hehe."

Ji Xun listened and smiled without comment.

This "Polymath" was teasing, but also serious.

Now the teammates are very familiar with each other, and there is no strangeness in their tone.

After this was said, the teammates smiled and responded.

"Yeah."

"Haha, everyone thinks that the best player in our Landon 16th team may be David, or maybe Seri and Duoduo. But if you ask me, I think Su Lun is the best. This guy knows everything, and I don't know how he loses. It's a pity that no one comes to challenge him."

"He hangs out in the library every day, it's strange to find him. But then again, we have to do our best in this trial. I heard that the top few will have generous rewards. Let's go to the back mountain to gather, otherwise the instructor will punish us if we are late."

"Don't be so anxious. Su Lun came out at this time, and he had already calculated the time. We will definitely not be late."

"."

Ji Xun just smiled when he heard it.

As his teammates said, in fact, he is the best player in their team.

But his teammates didn't really see his strength, but the tacit understanding of the team.

Only teammates who have participated in team trials together know how lucky it is to have a teammate who "knows everything".

Starting from the entrance test and the assassination, to the later awards competition and team training.

Just once, it’s the same every time.

No matter what situation he encounters, he can come up with reasonable and even refreshing tactics; he knows a thing or two about any mechanism, restrictions, and spells; especially in theory classes, he can always deliver perfect answers.

This guy perfectly explained the outrageousness of the [Eruditionist] career sequence.

Although Ji Xun's performance in the battle was not outstanding, his teammates had no doubt that this guy must be very powerful.

Especially David felt the deepest.

As a slave, he could not enjoy any teaching resources, so in the past few months, almost all the problems he encountered in practice were solved by Ji Xun.

Although he didn't know how clever those things Ji Xun pointed out were.

But he can understand [Hegemony Fist], and he has a clear heart of martial arts.

He could rely on martial arts intuition to feel that this teammate was really special.

He was confident that he could fight any card master of the same level he had seen. Even if he lost, he knew where he would lose.

However, when seeing Ji Xun, David always felt elusive and didn't even know how to make a move.

It seems that no matter what move you make, the other party will definitely predict it.

This was a sense of oppression that he could not feel from any student of the same level.

Of course Ji Xun knew that David would notice the difference in him.

The initial plan was to be completely transparent and hang out in the library.

Later, I found out that David was a disciple of Gong Wu, so I gave him some advice.

As long as there is a purpose, there will of course be flaws in the line of cause and effect.

But it's not a big problem.

The "powerfulness" perceived by his teammates is still within a reasonable range.

Moreover, this impression allowed Ji Xun to perform better in this assessment.

That's right.

These days are the college's midterm trials.

It's said to be a trial, but it's actually an assessment.

Just like the exams in previous lives, this is the activity that students are most looking forward to and most anxious about.

After coming to the college to study for a year, it’s time to check your learning results.

What we expect is that just like the entrance examination, there will also be surprise rewards in the examination, which is one of the most important ways for students to obtain a large number of credits;

What is disturbing is that this kind of assessment has a death quota.

Every year, many unlucky people, or guys who are lazy in their studies, die suddenly in the trial.

However, this is a mandatory assessment and no one can escape it.

Even the princes and princesses are the same.

This was also the reason why Ji Xun didn't stay in the library all day on his rare day off.

When they arrived at Ji Xun, the team of six people walked towards the back hill of the academy.

The strong strength also gave everyone confidence.

Several people had no worries about the upcoming trial, only expectations.

On the way to the back mountain, there were groups of first-year students. Everyone was going for the trial, and they were all talking about trial-related matters.

"Hey, what do you think the theme of this year's trial will be? I heard from the seniors that it would be fine if it is a normal adventure mode. But if it is a war theme, many people will die in [Babel Tower] every year."

"Who knows. Anyway, our team's overall strength is not strong. Even in war mode, we will not get too difficult trial tasks. But in that case, we will get fewer credits and rewards."

"Yes. After I accumulated those points and exchanged them for a book of arcane martial arts, I only have a few dozen points left. I'm still waiting to earn a little more from this assessment, exchange them for the permission of the 'practice room', and break through the boxing bottleneck. I hope the trial is a bit more difficult.”

"Look, that's the team from Duke Langdon's Mansion! The auras of those guys are so strong. I heard that three of their team are among the top 50 in the first-year strength list."

"Hmph! They're just lucky nouveau riche. Isn't it because of the '100,000 credits' and magic mystical skills that they are able to reach their current level? If it were given to me, I would definitely be good."

"."

As Ji Xun and his teammates walked along, of course they heard the gossip.

But I have long been used to it.

In the Southern Continent, being powerful is envied by others, which is something to be proud of.

Other teams may still be short of credits. Except for David, everyone in their team has a stock of 100,000 points.

It’s only been a few months and I can’t spend it all.

The dwarves were outspoken. Gang Duoduo didn't take the gossip seriously, but muttered as he walked: "Ah, I still have a lot of credits, and it doesn't matter what the trial rewards are. But I don't care about the 'Tower of Babel Trial Ranking' I’m very interested. Do you think our team will set a new record?”

Hearing this, Seri smiled and joked: "How can you have too many credits? Just exchange for some high-end things, and tens of thousands of points will be gone. I have spent tens of thousands of points in the past few months."

Sister Zhuo Sha also said: "Yes. After you advance to a higher level, more and more credits will be needed to redeem extraordinary materials. Of course, the more credits, the better. I am preparing the materials required for the second-level job transfer materials. I will go and see After that, many materials for the Yaoyin Card will require tens of thousands of credits."

Gale's eyes were full of expectations for the future: "Now that the magic mystical method is available, if possible, I plan to exchange it for the legendary demon mark. But I saw that it would cost hundreds of thousands of credits, and I am still working hard to save it. "

Gang Duoduo: "Ah? I almost forgot that we dwarves don't use demon marks. I don't need much material. I use the 'training room' to train every day, and I can never use it up."

Everyone: "."

Ji Xun couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

However, the other people were more or less proud.

And he really lacked it.

Others thought that he could stay in the independent reading room on the second floor of the library for a long time because of the 100,000 credits awarded by the opening assessment.

In fact, the 100,000 credits were gone long ago.

He still used the tens of thousands of points left in Griffith's library card to hold on until now.

Now, after a few months, there are only a few hundred credits in his student card.

And he estimated that in the future, there will be a huge gap of hundreds of thousands of credits just to exchange for the classics in his must-read catalog.

Not to mention exchanging for other things.

So in this trial, Ji Xun felt that if possible, he really wanted to get as much as possible.

The entire Royal Academy was built at the foot of the Titan Mountains.

Ji Xun and his six companions walked along the boulder-paved road from the library in the center of the academy for nearly ten kilometers before arriving at the back mountain.

There is a special building with a hundred floors here.

It has a special name that exists in mythology - Babel Tower!

This is another place in the Royal Academy that makes Ji Xun very curious.

Because Griffith said that this is the fragment of the inherited artifact that the Royal Academy of the Taren Dynasty trained students three thousand years ago.

Ji Xun has even seen it before.

That is the "Shenxu Treasure House" that Jia Yu used to wipe out the two major sects of Scarlet and Silver Moon.

And this Babel Tower is another part of the inherited artifact.

It looks like this tower is a building, but in fact, it can create a trial venue that can accommodate tens of thousands of people at a time.

The trial scenes in the tower are independent magical worlds, where testers can get rewards by taking risks and completing tasks.

In other words, this is an "artificial different-dimensional space"!

And it is a different-dimensional space that can be controlled to a certain extent.

If you really want to judge the foundation of the Royal Academy of Arel, this tower accounts for at least one-third.

Even many collections and treasures in the library were brought out of this tower by the students.

After coming to the academy for so long, this was the first time that Ji Xun saw this [Babel Tower].

Seeing this towering white tower, his eyes narrowed slightly. While being shocked by the majestic and majestic miracle, he also muttered in his heart: "Controllable different-dimensional space, what level of god was the one who created this artifact?"

Artificially creating different-dimensional space is like creating one world after another.

Ordinary people can't understand it, and they won't think about understanding it.

But Ji Xun is not like that.

In the deduction of "I am the world", the logically self-consistent virtual worlds made him seem to glimpse a vague shadow of the extraordinary and supreme realm.

But at the same time, he thought of another question: "Strange, where does the energy of this Babel Tower come from?"

No matter what secret realm, it needs energy support.

Just like the battle of Innocence City, Jia Yu was able to drive the Shenxu Treasure House, but he still consumed the little foundation left by Nan Shenyu, the last priest of Taren three thousand years ago.

I used it once, and now I don't know how to use it a second time.

Now, the Tower of Babel in the Royal Academy of Arel is open to all students for trials every year.

It has lasted for thousands of years, and the energy consumed is terrifying.

So, where does the energy of this tower come from?

It seems that the top management of the academy deliberately concealed this fact.

Griffith didn't figure it out when he came to be a mentor, so you can imagine how deep this secret is.

Ji Xun is of course more and more curious.

As his teammates joked, Ji Xun went out on time.

When he came, the freshmen of the first grade had almost gathered.

Not long after, the vice president in charge of the first-year academics stood on the stage and began to speak.

"Students, the test of your learning results has begun."

"The theme of this year's test is 'Ancient Civilization Exploration'. The alien space opened by the Tower of Babel is also a space rich in treasures. I hope everyone will explore it enthusiastically."

"The academy has set up generous rewards for this assessment. The top 100 teams will have a large number of credits, relics, martial arts, materials, etc. rewards."

"."

Although Ji Xun was thinking about other issues in his mind, he also listened carefully to the trial rules of the vice president.

In general, it was similar to what he knew.

The rules and rewards were also similar to the trials of previous years.

The trial was based on teams, and then points were obtained and finally ranked.

Students can not only get rewards from the trial space, but also get extra rewards from the academy based on their ranking.

Ji Xun estimated that the academy's rewards for the top ten teams in the trial were worth more than 100,000 credits.

Although their team was strong, they often had to rely on luck.

It was true that the trial in the Tower of Babel was a man-controlled alien space.

But even the academy only has a small part of the authority to choose the difficulty and send observers.

And it cannot control the plot direction and hidden risks.

This is also the reason why people die in the trials every year.

This kind of assessment trial is a very rare experience for noble students who have never participated in adventures since childhood.

But for Ji Xun, who explores various wild and different dimensional spaces as if it were a daily routine, there is nothing new.

In his opinion, this is essentially a low-level extra-dimensional space with controlled risks.

He can't even be very interested.

Just as Ji Xun was thinking, the vice president in front of him finished speaking.

Then a female voice came from his ear: "Students, everyone is ready to enter the trial space. Remember to be careful and ensure your safety."

The one who spoke was a young woman with red hair.

This is the instructor and assistant of Ji Xun's team of more than 50 people, the fourth-level flame dragon girl, Qiluona.

If Ji Xun guessed correctly, this person's identity is not just an assistant. Instead, the college is still investigating the assassination of Sack, and the investigator specially arranged.

In the past few months of contact, Ji Xun found that Qiluona was intentionally or unintentionally contacting their team under the identity of an assistant to inquire about certain clues.

Although the means are clever, except for Ji Xun, no one else in the team knows what happened.

Of course, the investigation has no results.

The other party is not a threat to him, so he ignored it.

But for some reason, Ji Xun had a special premonition at this critical juncture of the trial.

He always felt that this woman seemed to have some other purpose hidden.
