Chapter 52: One in a Thousand Red-Level Mission, Ten Thousand Years of Medusa (Part 2)

"Oh, you're here so early?"

Dugu Lin, Chu Qingtian, Taixing, Pan Tao, and Zhou Sen came to the Supervisory Pavilion early to wait. Ling Bai could vaguely see the occasional nervousness and anxiety in their eyes.

It was the first inner courtyard assessment, so it was normal to be nervous.

"You look so relaxed. The freshman assessment task determines whether we can continue to stay in the inner courtyard to study. I was so anxious that I didn't meditate last night."

Dugu Lin admired her long green nails and joked casually. In the past three months, she and Ling Bai have become more familiar with each other. She is one of Ling Bai's closest friends in the inner courtyard.

Ling Bai stretched his muscles and chuckled, "No matter how anxious you are, you can't really change anything. It's better to have a good rest and refresh your spirit."

"You are so free and easy."

A hoarse voice came, and a hunched old man slowly walked out of the assessment hall. There was a scar on his left eye, which went through his nose and deep into his jaw, almost cutting his entire face in half.

"My last name is Li. I am in charge of all the new student assessments and future upgrade assessment tasks, so for the students who pass this assessment, we should have many years of dealing with each other."

Old Li forced a smile, his tone was very amiable, but with that face, there was a sense of ferocity. Pan Tao was the most timid, so he couldn't help but step back half a step, hiding half of his body behind Dugu Lin.

Observe in secret.jpg

Mr. Li has long been accustomed to being despised by his juniors. He didn't care when he saw Pan Tao's little action. He took out a dark brown wooden box full of task tickets and said:

"Seniors may have told you that there is a great luck factor in the freshman assessment, and this is indeed the case.

The glory of Shrek Academy has lasted for ten thousand years, so there are a total of 10,000 assessment tasks, divided into five levels of white, yellow, purple, black and red, with increasing difficulty. White-level tasks account for 10%, black-level tasks account for 20%, and the rest are basically divided equally between yellow-level tasks and purple-level tasks."

"What about red-level tasks?"

Chu Qingtian raised his hand high like a primary school student and asked a question.

Li Lao smiled and replied: "Ten red-level tasks, accounting for one thousandth of the total tasks. I tell you clearly that in the past ten thousand years, tens of thousands of students have enrolled in the inner courtyard. So far, only seven Shrek freshmen have drawn red-level tasks, and all of them have failed without exception."

"... Li Lao, I don't understand the purpose of the academy setting up red-level tasks. Is it just to persuade people to quit?"

Dugu Lin frowned slightly. Tasks are created to be completed. It seems unnecessary to create outrageous tasks that are beyond the scope of difficulty and whoever touches them will die.

"For screening."

Li Lao's answer was simple and neat.

"The inner courtyard students are all members of the Shrek Supervision Group. The danger of performing supervision tasks is far greater than that of assessment tasks. Every few years, the bad news of disciples falling outside is reported back to the academy.

There are many reasons for the death of inner courtyard disciples, such as the enemy is too powerful, their own strength is insufficient, and..."

"They are too unlucky."

Li Lao grinned, and the hideous scars running through his face moved, making his appearance even more terrifying.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this. Bad luck is also a reason! ?

"The red-level mission is to screen out the unlucky one in a thousand, so that they can save their lives as soon as possible and go to other places to contribute to the continent.

By the way, eight thousand years ago, a Sea God Pavilion master once set a rule that if an inner courtyard student passed the red-level mission, no matter what his martial soul or background was, he would be transformed into a monster that the academy valued the most, and from then on he would be regarded as the next generation of Sea God Pavilion members and cultivated with all his strength.

Danger is always equal to opportunity, and the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish.

Enough of small talk, who will come over to draw lots first?"

Old Li shook the box in his hand and made a rustling sound. The six inner courtyard freshmen looked at each other, and used their eyes to show each other modesty. Then a green figure took the initiative to step forward.

"Ladies first, I'm not polite."

Dugu Lin's white and tender little hand reached into the mission box. Everyone stared at the box mouth without blinking, with different expressions in their eyes, and their hearts also rose to their throats.

"Don't make a good start."

Dugu Lin teased herself. This girl was so brave that she merged the five poisons of green phosphorus. Her previous anxiety and insomnia were just a joke.

In the center of her white and tender palm, a piece of paper lay quietly. The purple handwriting and silver hooks and iron paintings were chic and elegant.

"Purple-level mission, a group of wolf bandits has recently appeared in the Mingtai Mountain area of ​​the Douling Empire. There are more than 30 of them. Most of them are between great soul masters and soul masters, and the leader has barely reached the level of a four-ring soul master.

This mission is to eliminate the wolf bandits, leaving no one alive, and bring back the head of the soul master-level wolf bandit leader. The mission time limit is ten days.

Hmm, I'm lucky today∽"

Dugu Lin smiled. The wolf bandits are the offspring of the combination of the wind wolf and humans. They have a wolf head and a human body. They have a strong body like a soul beast and superb wisdom like humans. They are cruel and like to live in groups. They especially like to rape human women. Ordinary soul masters are almost helpless against them, but facing her green phosphorus poison...

Have you ever heard of the city full of green?

The green phosphorus snake is the nightmare of low-level soul masters/soul beasts!

Hearing this, everyone instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Dugu Lin had set a good example for them, and the stone hanging in their hearts was also put down a little.

The second girl, Pan Tao, followed closely behind. Her psychological endurance was far inferior to Dugu Lin's. She closed her eyes and tremblingly took out the task note, bowed respectfully to the void three times, and then opened her eyes little by little. The next second, Pan Tao jumped directly on Dugu Lin, wrapped her legs around Dugu Lin's soft waist like a water snake, and said ecstatically:

"White! Great!"

I, the emperor of Europe, have a 10% chance of being hit by her!

"White-level task, the hundred-year soul beast yellow-skinned rat haunts Wangjia Village, Suyun City, Tianhun Empire. This beast often attacks livestock, and the villagers have suffered heavy losses and reported that they are troubled. Students must kill the yellow-skinned rat within five days from the date of receiving the task, peel off its fur and bring it back to the academy as evidence."

Pan Tao couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth that turned up. A mere hundred-year soul beast, she, a powerful soul sect master, wouldn't be able to control it ruthlessly!

The two girls were extremely lucky, and the boys' assessment draws continued in an orderly manner.

"Yellow-level mission, the people of Liusu City in the Tianhun Empire reported that the city lord treated civilians harshly and took human lives lightly. The students are responsible for collecting evidence of his crimes and anonymously handing it over to the Tianhun Empire royal contact person within seven days."

"Purple-level mission, the Sun and Moon Empire sent a Soul King spy to sneak into the metal capital Gengxin City to inquire about the smuggling of rare metals in the empire. The students need to find and kill the spy within ten days and return to the academy with his identity token."

The difficulty of Zhou Sen and Taixing's mission is not outrageous, and it is more in line with their current strength level. The probability of passing is very high. Now only Ling Bai and Chu Qingtian have not yet drawn lots in the assessment hall.

Ling Bai looked at Chu Qingtian, who was shaking like a sieve, and said with a smile: "Qingtian, should I go or you?"

"I go first! Brother Ling, you're the last!"

Chu Qingtian immediately trotted a few steps, shook hands with the European Emperor Pan Tao to absorb the European energy, and when he put his hand into the signing box, he was still muttering madly:

"Junior has been unlucky for more than ten years. I pray for the blessing of the Sea God Tang Da, Master Yu Xiaogang, and the ancestors of Shrek Academy!

Junior does not ask for white or yellow, but only for purple once!"

After Chu Qingtian finished praying, he suddenly pulled back and looked closely!

Black!

Blazing!

Chu Qingtian immediately felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, and his face was tightly wrinkled together. Although the people around him did not change their expressions, they secretly laughed in their hearts that Chu Qingtian must have done a lot of bad things, otherwise even the Sea God and the Shrek ancestors could not save him.

"Black-level mission, there is a serial murder case in Xingluo Empire, the murderer will peel off the face of the people completely after killing them... The behavior is suspected to be that of an evil soul master, codenamed Blood Face Killer.

The Blood Face Killer committed three crimes recently in Jinghai City of Xingluo Empire. Based on his killing habits, the academy determined that he is still staying in Jinghai City. Students need to investigate the situation and kill the Blood Face Killer within fifteen days!"

Face peeling maniac!

Evil soul master!

Not to mention Chu Qingtian, even Ling Bai couldn't help but change his color slightly.

Death messenger, three Soul King-level evil soul masters with a group of inferior soldiers, a super corpse explosion almost wiped out the regular Shrek Seven Devils.

Chu Qingtian...

It's hard to judge, after all, different professions are like different mountains, Ling Bai wishes him success!

Dugu Lin, Pan Tao and others heard that Chu Qingtian's freshman assessment task was to face the evil soul master, and they all cast complicated glances at him.

Worry, pity... and a little bit of relief.

The evil soul master is strange and powerful, with all kinds of insidious and vicious moves emerging one after another. In every generation of Shrek Academy, inner courtyard disciples and teachers have died tragically at the hands of evil soul masters.

Chu Qingtian, can you return to the academy intact in fifteen days?

"Qingtian, why are you shaking?" Ling Bai suddenly asked.

"What? Is there, is there?"

Chu Qingtian clamped his legs together, but his eyes were unusually erratic. On the surface, he was still alive, but in fact, his soul had been gone for a while.

"Don't be nervous, go with confidence, anyway, you will be a brave man again in eighteen years."

Ling Bai's three words warmed Brother Chu for a whole day.

Hearing this, Chu Qingtian suddenly came back to his soul and became wilted, like an eggplant hit by frost, thinking inexplicably in his mind:

Metaphysics, if he can't drop out, does he have to go to the inner courtyard of Shrek?

"This mission is one of the most difficult even in the black level. You should do your best, but remember to save yourself first."

Old Li shook his head and sighed. The old man was knowledgeable. He knew that Chu Qingtian was in danger when he saw his cowardly look. After a few words of comfort, he turned to Ling Bai and said:

"Come on, you are the only one missing."

In contrast to Chu Qingtian, Ling Bai was quite confident in his luck. He calmly stepped forward, reached into the box, pulled out the note, and read it aloud. This set of moves was completed in one go!

"Red level mission, capture the ten thousand year old Medusa alive!"

"..."

Silence, this is Cambridge tonight!

Everyone bit their lips tightly, lowered their heads and dared not say a word!

"Red level mission, capture the ten thousand year old Medusa alive, time limit fifteen days.

Petrified soul beasts and petrified soul masters were found in the Youyao Forest within the Xingluo Empire. It was determined that this was the result of Medusa's gaze, the innate soul skill of the nearly extinct snake queen Medusa.

According to the analysis of the Shrek Academy's soul beast experts, it is inferred that the snake queen Medusa who released the innate soul skill has been practicing for more than ten thousand years. I hope that this unlucky guy (crossed out) who is lucky enough to draw this task will be extra careful! "

"Unlucky guy? Okay, okay, you play it this way, right? "

Ling Bai was so angry that he laughed. He wanted to turn into Cao Cao and wave his hand and shout:

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Looking at the blood-red handwriting on the note, Ling Bai found it difficult to accept the reality for a while!

Don't get me wrong, it's not that he can't accept the red-level task, but he doesn't believe that his luck is so bad!

One in a thousand!

You can even get this!

Damn it, tell me you did something behind the scenes!

Tell me now!

Tell me now!

Perhaps Ling Bai was so resentful that he startled Mr. Li.

He coughed, took back the task box and put on a pure official tone, saying: "This inner courtyard freshman assessment is fair, just and open. Everything depends on your own luck. Some students are requested to accept the reality as soon as possible and don't make any absurd assumptions! "

Who are you going to point at, Lao Deng!

Ling Bai's face instantly looked as ugly as if he had eaten two flies. Ling Mochu laughed, and Chu Qingtian, who had been standing next to him with a shrug, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The smile will not disappear, it will only shift. The old ancestor is true to me!

Comparing goods will lead to throwing them away, and comparing people will lead to death!

The Dark Forest is one of the gathering places for soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, second only to the Star Forest. Legend has it that it was divided into two by the gods, divided equally into two strange scenes of eternal day and eternal night. The central area seems to be alive. A terrifying beast with a cultivation level exceeding 100,000 years!

Compared to Ling Bai risking his life to break into the Youyao Forest alone and capture the top soul beast, the Ten Thousand Year Snake King Medusa, Chu Qingtian suddenly felt that the Blood-Faced Evil Soul Master was a piece of rubbish!

I want to beat ten of them!

Dugu Lin stepped forward and gently shook Ling Bai, who had lost his worldly desires and was deeply doubting his character, and whispered in his ear:

"Ling Bai, an extraordinary child must be born differently. I am really happy that you got the red-level task!"

The note in Ling Bai's hand creaked, and he turned his head to stare at the pair of green eyes: "You better be."

Dugu Lin scratched Ling Bai's nose with her white fingertips, and smiled and said: "Of course I am, and I am super looking forward to you catching the Ten Thousand Year Medusa alive. "

"Red-level mission... Alas, the way back and forth from Youyao Forest will take at least four days..."

Ling Bai rubbed his long golden hair, his face full of distress. The three-on-three freshman assessment competition in the outer courtyard was about to begin. Ning Tian and Wu Feng specifically told him to complete the assessment as soon as possible and then go to the outer courtyard to cheer them up. They were looking forward to defeating their opponents and winning the freshman championship under his witness, and making the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect famous in one fell swoop.

The journey was long, and the Youyao Forest was vast. Who knew where Medusa was hiding? This time, they might be forced to break the appointment.

"All freshman assessment tasks have been issued and completed. You can go your separate ways to carry them out!"

Old Li waved his hand and turned into the darkness of the assessment hall.

"Let's go, Brother Ling. A true warrior dares to face a bleak life."

The Chu Qingtian brothers hooked Ling Bai's shoulders. Both of their mission locations were in the Xingluo Empire, and the two could still travel together for a while.

"Tsk, I advise you to take care of yourself..."
