Chapter 639: Chapter 639: The First Person in the Assessnt
Song Jian held a wooden sword and charged towards a group of fifty to sixty people. In the eyes of many, this was tantamount to suicide. After all, Song Jian’s demonstrated strength hadn’t yet reached a level where he could ignore such numbers.
Song Jian’s dismissive attitude angered the remaining disciples, who swung their swords and charged at him in rage; even those who were initially intimidated by his strength.
“He’s underestimating us, this guy who hasn’t even mastered the Qingyun Sword Skill in three years. How dare he look down on us!”
“Yes, let’s surround him. I think his stamina is almost exhausted. Let’s immobilize him first!”
Dozens of people attacked Song Jian simultaneously. So even threw their wooden swords away and lunged at him, arms wide open, trying to pin him down.
At this point, Song Jian couldn’t even muster a tenth of his combat power. Almost all of his skills were unusable, his equipnt unshowable. Even his physical attributes were suppressed. It was like he was fighting this group with chains wrapped around him.
In this SS-ranked trial world, he wasn’t the first player to enter. During his battle with the Black Wind chieftain, he was quickly recognized by his opponent.
The initially retreating chieftain, once discovering that Song Jian was not of their world, beca frenzied. In the end, he attempted a murder-suicide. Faced with his opponent’s imnse combat power, Song Jian was forced to use “Enemy of Death God”.
This made him more secretive about his foreigner identity for fear of getting exposed.
The risk of being hunted down was one thing, but if the trial failed, that was a massive loss.
“A bit overconfident aren’t we? But I am curious to see my own limits.” A devilish smile appeared on Song Jian’s lips. His sword suddenly beca lively, accurately piercing the approaching disciples from unexpected angles. He kept moving back, not giving them a chance to surround him.
It took Song Jian more than half an hour to defeat the remaining fifty or sixty people, twice as many as the two competing teams he defeated before.
Leaning on his sword, Song Jian laughed heartily while looking at the defeated disciples on the ground. The relief he felt was even greater than when he took down several first-order leaders of the Black Wind fortress.
Just as he took down the last individual, he suddenly received a system prompt indicating that the task was completed.
System: You have completed the first part of the trial task. Reward: Level increased by one, 2 free attribute points. Would you like to claim them now?
System: This reward is separate from the assessnt completion reward. If claid, it will not affect the assessnt completion reward. If not claid, it will accumulate for the next step. The more you accumulate, the bigger the final reward. However, if the subsequent tasks fail, the accumulated reward will disappear.
Song Jian was taken aback. He didn’t expect each part of the assessnt task to contain a reward, and that it was separate from the final success reward of the assessnt.
“Should I claim the reward for each part? If accumulated, the reward would definitely be higher than claiming each part’s reward. However, if I fail in the future tasks, even this reward will be gone.” For a mont, Song Jian was hesitant.
After so deliberation, he gritted his teeth and chose to accumulate. In his heart, he understood that claiming the rewards now would be the safest bet. Even if he failed the final mission, he would not end up empty-handed after a month’s wait.
But Song Jian was thinking that if he was going to win, he wanted to win big. If he was going to lose, he wouldn’t take anything with him. This was a clear gambler’s ntality.
After choosing to accumulate, the second part of the mission imdiately appeared before Song Jian.
Assessnt task part two: Annihilate the Qingyun Sword Sect, kill the Sect Leader Liu Qingyun!
Song Jian was almost knocked off his feet when he saw the second part of the assessnt task. Was the mission already so difficult at the second part? Annihilate the Qingyun Sword Sect? Just with him alone? Even if Song Jian had reached the first-order combat power, it would be impossible to annihilate a sect with over ten thousand mbers with a single strike.
“Even if I were to unlock Black Dragon… it’s impossible. Even if Black Dragon is unlocked, I wouldn’t be able to annihilate the Qingyun Sword Sect with one strike!” Song Jian was stupefied. If he had known the second part’s task was this, he should have claid the reward for the first task!
While Song Jian was worrying about the second task, three examiners strode over, all smiles.
“Congratulations, Song Jian. You passed this exam and even beca the first rank with an absolute advantage!” Li Guiqing said with a smile.
“Young man, I see great potential in you. Are you interested in joining our Sword Casting Hall? We need disciples like you in our hall! If you choose to beco our disciple, we can guarantee you the best benefits in the entire sect. Furthermore, your weapons would be taken care of by the Sword Casting Hall.” Wang Hai said cheerfully.
“”Master Wang, why waste his potential in the Sword Casting Hall?” Qin Hua glanced at Wang Hai and said,” He’d better co to our Alchemy Hall. Here, he won’t have to worry about his future cultivation pills and can even eat them like jelly beans, how could his cultivation not make great strides?”
“You two…” Li Guiqing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at their words.
“Hahaha, we’re just joking. Brother Song will eventually beco an elder or even a personal disciple of the Sect Leader. How can he possibly join us?” Wang Hai laughed and gave Song Jian a badge, saying: “This is our Sword Casting Hall’s Martial Order. With this order, you can choose a weapon of blue quality or higher in the Sword Casting Hall. Consider it a gift to celebrate your passing the exam!”
“This is the Pill Order from our Alchemy Hall, you can use it to get ten Qi Boosting pills. Keep it well.” Qin Hua also gave Song Jian an order with a smile.
Song Jian took the two orders with a smile, thanked them, and then turned his eyes to Li Guiqing.
“This…” Li Guiqing imdiately felt his scalp prickle. He originally intended to host a random disciple exam and have so fun. He hadn’t expected to have to pick up the tab.
Both the Martial Order and Pill Order were given by Wang Hai and Qin Hua, but the resources consud ca from the Sword Casting Hall and the Alchemy Hall. They managed to curry favor without spending any of their own money. However, whatever gift Li Guiqing might give would definitely co out of his own pocket.
After hesitating for a mont, Li Guiqing pulled out a notebook from his robe, gave it to Song Jian, and said: “These are my personal insights on practicing the Qingyun Sword Skill. Take it. I know you may not care much for this basic sword skill of the Qingyun Sect, but let tell you. Practically all of the advanced sword skills of the Qingyun Sect evolve from this basic skill. Learning this will greatly assist you in mastering more advanced sword skills in the future!”
