Chapter 156 The Third Level of the Walking Trial, Fighting Against the Real Mountain and Sea Walker
"You completed the second level of the trial in three days. Your record is half a day faster than Jiang Dongliu of Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division."
Lu Chen took off the holographic helmet and heard the words from the examiner Xu Yangyang.
"How did he pass the level?"
Xu Yangyang thought for a while and said, "He found the old monk as soon as he entered the apartment, and then spent two days to gain his trust and got the elixir to recover from his injuries."
"Then he spent a day to determine the candidates for the Black Lotus Cult, and finally spent half a day to work with the old monk to solve the problem."
After hearing this, Lu Chen roughly understood Jiang Dongliu's clearance process.
And this clearance method should also be the most orthodox one.
Although Lu Chen took three days to pass the level, it was mainly because Lu Chen spent two more days preparing for the sake of safety.
If he wanted, he could actually go directly to the 15th floor to find the Black Lotus Cult after he recovered a certain level of cultivation on the first day.
But taking risks is not Lu Chen's character. He likes to wait until he is fully prepared before taking action, even in a simulated trial.
Seeing that others were still taking the trial, Lu Chen simply chatted with Xu Yangyang.
"Can you tell me about the third level of the trial? I heard that there are only three levels in this walking trial. As long as you pass the three levels, you can get a license to walk as an apprentice."
It seems that he is very optimistic about Lu Chen and knows that Lu Chen will definitely pass this trial.
So Xu Yangyang did not have any intention of hiding anything and directly talked to Lu Chen about the third level of the trial.
"Well, the process of the walking trial is similar to what you said. You just need to complete the three levels of the trial."
"Generally speaking, the first level of the three-level trial tests the physical strength and willpower of the trialist, the second level tests the character of the trialist, and the third level tests the strength of the trialist."
"And in this process, the content of the first two levels of the test will hardly change, only the third level is occasionally different."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately became interested.
"What's the difference?"
"Generally speaking, there are many ways to test the strength of the trialists. Some let the trialists fight each other, some let the trialists hunt monsters, and some let the trialists fight directly with the official walkers of our company."
"I'm not sure about the specific situation of this trial. It depends on what the master who presides over this trial thinks, but I feel that this trial should be the third type."
"Why?"
"Because according to the information I have collected, whenever there is a genius with outstanding talent among the trialists, the master wants to see more of the genius' strength."
"In this case, whether it is just letting the trialists fight each other or letting them fight with monsters, it is undoubtedly not a good choice."
"The former is prone to a situation of power disparity, and the latter has certain safety risks and is very troublesome."
"I understand."
Hearing this, Lu Chen also had a general expectation of the content of the third level of the trial.
I think there should be a few mountain and sea walkers from the Linjiang Mountain and Sea Division who will come out to act as examiners and fight with the trialists.
As long as they can defeat them, or meet certain conditions, they can pass the assessment.
As for whether he can pass the assessment, Lu Chen is not worried at all.
After all, let alone ordinary mountain and sea walkers, even if they are Jindan period palm masters.
Lu Chen has a certain degree of confidence that he can defeat the opponent in a one-on-one situation.
Even if the opponent has the fate blessing of mountain and sea beasts.
Before Yu Tianqi brought Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye to Linjiang Mountain and Sea Division.
In fact, he had already told them most of the information about the Mountain and Sea Division.
This naturally includes the relationship between the mountain and sea beasts and mountain and sea walkers in the Mountain and Sea Division.
Fate, this is the greatest help that mountain and sea beasts can give to mountain and sea walkers.
And the more powerful the mountain and sea beasts, the stronger their fate.
Let Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye obtain a mountain and sea beast, and then use the Dragon Pool of Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division to help Mu Xiaoye break through the foundation-building period.
This is the main purpose of Yu Tianqi bringing them to Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division this time.
Lu Chen was also very curious about what kind of exotic beasts he could get from the Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division.
After all, he was still planning to see if he could bring the real mountain and sea exotic beasts into the game through his special talent, the Immortal Lotus Embryo.
Not long after Lu Chen finished the second level of the trial, Mu Xiaoye also quickly completed the trial.
Judging from the time, she should have taken four days to deal with the Black Lotus Cultists in the trial.
"Xiao Lu, how come you're so fast?"
After hearing Mu Xiaoye's words, Lu Chen, who was resting under the tree, replied casually: "It wasn't a difficult thing, so I came out early."
Mu Xiaoye nodded and said as a matter of course: "Yes, this trial is indeed not difficult, it's too easy."
Lu Chen asked curiously: "How did you pass it?"
Mu Xiaoye thought for a while and said: "Nothing happened. As soon as I entered, the landlady told me that there were many people in the apartment and asked me to be more careful."
"After that, I went out to buy snacks and met an old man. I saw that he was a cultivator at a glance, so I asked him directly if he had any healing pills. I would return them to him when I had money."
"The old man was very nice. He didn't ask me for money and gave it to me directly."
"Later, I saw that I had recovered almost completely, so I went to the 14th and 15th floors of the apartment. As a result, I met a female ghost sister on the 14th floor. She warned me not to approach the middle room on the 15th floor casually, saying that it was not safe there."
"But you know, I am a curious person. After hearing this, I immediately went to the 15th floor, and then I met the old woman who kept the blood corpse."
"In the end, I didn't do much. The old man who came later and the female ghost sister on the 14th floor helped me get rid of them, and then I came out."
Hearing this, Lu Chen didn't know what to say.
Because he could hear that Mu Xiaoye didn't actually go through the level deliberately.
But she seemed to have a natural intuition, or was blessed by God.
Always able to meet the key person at the critical moment.
Even if she didn't do anything deliberately, she still easily gathered all the necessary conditions for passing the level.
Although it is said that lucky players can't go far.
But Mu Xiaoye has had good luck since she was a child. She has relied on luck to get to where she is today. It is estimated that it will not be difficult to walk a little more in the future.
If luck also has levels, then Mu Xiaoye's luck is definitely the top one.
After Mu Xiaoye passed the level, many people took off their helmets one after another.
However, most of these people took off their helmets because they were killed by the Black Lotus believers in the trial and failed the assessment.
At the end of the 100 trialists, only seven people successfully passed the trial.
The rest of the people either mistook the female ghost on the 14th floor as an enemy.
Or they did not see the disguised Black Lotus believers and were solved by the other party without preparation.
It can be said that most of the trialists did not have the strength to defeat the Black Lotus believers.
They lost more because of their lack of experience.
But this is also the key to the second level of the trial.
After all, the most common thing that Shanhaisi walks deal with is the insidious and cunning demon monks.
To deal with them, cultivation alone is definitely not enough.
After all, anything can happen in reality, and situations like the absolute fairness of the ring competition rarely appear in reality.
Calling you sick and killing you is the main theme in reality.
Excluding Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye, there are five people who have passed the test.
Three of them are students of the Taoist Academy, and two of them are sophomores and juniors of Shangqing Taoist Academy in Qingzhou.
And among these three people, there is one who has entered the realm of Taoism.
She is a girl who looks ordinary in appearance.
And she is also the strongest one among the remaining five people except Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye.
She is also the fastest one among the five people, taking only four and a half days.
In fact, if it weren't for the appearance of Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye, the other party might be the strongest one in this trial.
"Okay, congratulations to the seven of you for coming here. Now you only have the last level left to complete the walking trial. Come with me."
Under the leadership of Xu Yangyang, the few people soon came to an open space in the woods.
And here, there are already three people waiting for them here in advance.
One of them was the examiner who had appeared in the first level, Yan Lei, who looked a bit exaggerated.
The remaining two were old men.
They were Yu Tianqi and Zhong Yaojun, one of the six masters of Linjiang Mountain and Sea Division.
Seeing Yu Tianqi's appearance, Mu Xiaoye couldn't help but waved at him.
In response, Yu Tianqi scratched his cheek awkwardly, and then glared at Mu Xiaoye.
Indicated that in this kind of occasion, you girl should not act like you know him, otherwise it is easy to cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.
In response, Mu Xiaoye also reacted quickly, hurriedly put her hand down, and looked elsewhere.
She looked like she didn't know Yu Tianqi.
Covering one's ears and stealing the bell was reflected vividly on her.
"Ahem, well, let me explain the rules of the next trial to the seven of you, Xiao Xu, come here first."
Hearing Zhong Yaojun's words, Xu Yangyang nodded and came to the side of the few people.
Zhong Yaojun walked out and looked at the seven trialists in front of him, and finally set his sights on Lu Chen.
He looked very curious about Lu Chen.
Lu Chen did not react much to this.
Although he had learned the identity of the other party as the chief envoy of Linjiang Mountain and Sea Division from the token on his waist.
But the trial was not a life-and-death battle, and he did not feel any malice from the other party.
So he guessed that the reason why the other party was curious about him was either because he knew about his situation from Yu Tianqi.
Or the sword intent he showed in the first level attracted the other party's attention.
But no matter which one it was, it would not have much impact on his next trial, and naturally he would not react.
After all, he just took a look and had no malice.
After Zhong Yaojun simply watched Lu Chen for a while, he began to talk about the content of this last level.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate you all for passing the second level of the trial. The fact that you can get here shows that your physique and character have met the standards for becoming a mountain and sea walker."
"But if you want to become a mountain and sea walker, it is not enough to have a good physique and character. You also need to have enough strength."
"After all, if you become a true mountain and sea walker, it means that you will have to face the dark side of the Immortal Alliance in the future. Those guys are not only powerful, but also use every possible means."
"I think you should have experienced the means of those magic monks in the second level of the trial."
"Although I don't know which walker's memory you experienced, I want to tell you that these memory fragments are special scenes extracted by our Mountain and Sea Division from the memory fragments of dead walkers."
"In other words, what you just experienced is actually the most profound fragment of a walker's memory before death."
"Perhaps you will feel that the enemy you just encountered in the trial is too weak, and that the walker who died in her hands must have been careless."
"I can tell you clearly that it is indeed Like this. "
"But the reason why you think that demon monk is weak is because you know in advance that this is a trial, so you can take the situation in that trial so seriously. "
"But the demon evildoers in reality will not tell you this in advance. "
"In the thousands of years since the establishment of the Shanhai Division, most of our walkers did not die on the battlefield, but died in the calculations of the demon evildoers. "
"Most of them may just go out to buy a bottle of water, or go to see a friend, and suddenly encounter a sudden attack by the demon monk. "
"In this case, how many of you can guarantee that you can retreat unscathed, and how many people can guarantee that they can fully exert their own strength in an emergency? "
After hearing Zhong Yaojun's words, everyone present looked at each other and shook their heads.
After all, people are not machines, and no one can always maintain a high level of concentration.
In the case of intentional calculation, they can exert half of their strength, let alone exert their full strength.
And after hearing this, everyone also understood the danger of Shanhai walking.
In a word, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light.
It is true that most of the demon cultivators would never dare to attack Shanhaixingxing in public, because this would expose them to the sun and face the endless pursuit of Shanhaisi.
But there is never a shortage of people who take risks in this world.
While Shanhaixingxing accepted a large amount of resources from the Immortal Alliance, he naturally had to face many dangers that most people in the Immortal Alliance would not encounter.
Looking at the people who were in deep thought, Zhong Yaojun did not rush to interrupt their thinking.
Instead, he asked them to think carefully about whether they wanted to become Shanhaixingxing.
After all, Shanhaixingxing represents not only honor and special power, but also danger.
Accidents and tomorrow, no one knows which will come first.
And Shanhaixingxing encountered far more accidents than others.
However, those who can reach this level are basically mentally prepared for this.
Therefore, after just a little thought, their eyes became firm.
And Lu Chen did not think too much about this.
After all, the situation in reality is much better than what he had in the game.
In reality, whether it is the Black Lotus Sect or other demonic cultivators, they are basically suppressed by the Immortal Alliance and dare not show their heads easily.
They only dare to do some petty thefts.
But the evildoers in the game are different.
From what Lu Chen knows, many evildoers in the game have infiltrated the Zhongzhou sects.
He himself is not sure which people are enemies and which are friends.
Therefore, compared with the dangers that may be encountered by becoming a mountain and sea division.
Lu Chen is more concerned about the power that can be obtained through the mountain and sea division.
As long as he is strong enough and cautious enough.
No matter what danger he encounters, Lu Chen has the ability to solve it.
If he can't solve it, it's not someone else's problem, he can only blame him for being too weak.
Perhaps seeing that everyone has understood the pros and cons of becoming a mountain and sea walker, Zhong Yaojun spoke.
"In fact, I said so much just to remind you that even in daily life, you must remain vigilant, and don't be proud and complacent because of a little achievement, thinking that you are invincible and can ignore others."
As he spoke, Zhong Yaojun looked at Yan Lei next to him.
Seeing Zhong Yaojun's eyes, Yan Lei knew that Zhong Yaojun was deliberately hitting him.
He touched the back of his head awkwardly.
Zhong Yaojun rolled his eyes at him and turned to look at everyone.
"Okay, I won't say more. After all, you may not take some things to heart no matter how much I say, but reality will tell you the importance of these things. I just hope you can withstand the education of reality."
"Now I will talk about the content of the walking trial of this last level, Yan Lei, Yangyang."
"Yes."
Yan Lei and Xu Yangyang walked out and came to the seven examinees.
"The test of this last level is very simple. As long as you can hold out for five minutes from any one of them in a one-on-one situation, you will pass the test."
"Yan Lei is a physical cultivator, his cultivation is at the fifth level of the foundation-building period, and the mountain and sea beast he contracted is the Kui Niu of the 'Nine Lights Fate'."
"Xu Yangyang is a talisman cultivator, his cultivation is at the sixth level of the foundation-building period, and the mountain and sea beast he contracted is the Niu of the 'Ten Capitals Fate'."
"But don't worry, they will not release their mountain and sea beasts in this test, so you are just fighting against normal foundation-building cultivators."
Hearing this, Zuo Qiuzi, the girl from Shangqing Taoist Temple among the seven, asked: "What if we win?"
Zhong Yaojun glanced at her, then smiled and said: "If you can win, then you will naturally pass the assessment."
"But even if you are from the Zuo family and are a junior student of Shangqing Taoist Academy, I still don't think you can beat either of them."
"Even if they don't release the mountain and sea beasts."
Hearing this, Zuo Qiuzi was a little unconvinced.
It seems that Zhong Yaojun underestimated himself.
But Lu Chen knew that Zhong Yaojun was not joking.
Because Lu Chen could feel that whether it was Yan Lei who looked flamboyant on the outside, or Xu Yangyang who looked intellectual and calm.
They were all among the strongest foundation-building cultivators he had met.
Even if Lu Chen took action himself, it would not be easy to defeat these two without using the sword domain.
This is why he wanted to stop Mu Xiaoye and Yan Lei from sparring.
After all, the reason why Yan Lei lost to them in the long-distance race of the first level was largely because the gravity ring worn by the opponent was quite special.
Under the same circumstances, Yan Lei was subject to much greater restrictions than him and Mu Xiaoye.
If there was no such restriction, it would be just a normal competition.
Even if Mu Xiaoye had the innate magical power of "Red Flame Phoenix Tribulation", it would be difficult to defeat Yan Lei in a one-on-one situation.
After all, in such a large Immortal Alliance, there are not only him and Mu Xiaoye, two geniuses.
Yan Lei and Xu Yangyang, who can walk on mountains and seas, were also called geniuses in their era.
"Okay, who among you wants to challenge first?"
Hearing Zhong Yaojun's words, Zuo Qiuzi walked out directly.
"I'll go first."
"Okay, who do you want to challenge?"
Zuo Qiuzi's eyes stayed on Yan Lei and Xu Yangyang for a moment, and finally fell on Xu Yangyang.
"It's her."
Seeing that Zuo Qiuzi had chosen him, Xu Yangyang nodded calmly and walked out.
Seeing this, the people around them also tactfully gave way to the two.
Lu Chen stood in the distance, and his originally normal pupils began to turn into lotus shapes.
From the beginning of his practice to now, he has only seen one monk from the Mountain and Sea Division take action, and that was Bai Ling.
Although he and Yu Tianqi are very familiar with each other, Lu Chen has not seen Yu Tianqi take action seriously so far.
Therefore, Lu Chen is very curious about the strength of the monks from the Mountain and Sea Division.
Just take this opportunity to take a good look.
PS: The next update will be before 12 o'clock.
