(PS: During the new book period, I urgently need all kinds of recommendation votes, Three Rivers votes, collections, etc. Please support the grand dance and feast!)
In the virtual combat hall, more than a dozen senior instructors were waiting below the large projection screen.
Muliya and Cheng Shuhan sat together, randomly checking the trial situations of various students. On the left side of the screen, the central computer had compiled a points ranking list.
"Little junior, you didn't just come to see me, right? Has something happened above?" Muliya asked with a smile.
The radiant Cheng Shuhan stroked the armrest of her seat and said modestly, "There are indeed some matters, but today I'm just accompanying my cousin to participate in the assessment. I also want to see if there are any particularly outstanding new students this year."
Muliya raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "If we use your sister as the standard, then there are indeed very few outstanding students! Even if there are, it's unlikely that your family will have a chance to consider them. There are military personnel here watching closely!"
Cheng Shuhan covered her mouth and laughed lightly, glancing at the silent Luo Tianxiong beside her, and said, "I'm not here to poach! My family might have that idea, but it's not my responsibility! You can rest assured!"
Luo Tianxiong did not respond, only focusing on the points changes on the screen. Sha Zhenghai, who had just arrived, coughed and said, "I think there might be a dark horse in this assessment!"
Muliya was taken aback and asked, "Are you talking about Qin Huang? He is indeed a good seedling. Although I also see potential in him, his source energy index is still lacking. He might not be able to compete with second-stage mobile warriors!"
"Source energy index doesn't completely equal combat ability, right?" Cheng Shuhan interjected. "I think if he fights my cousin, he might not necessarily lose!"
Muliya shook her head and said, "I know he took down several hundred Blood Mane Spotted Lions a month ago, which was quite unexpected! But your sister has been a second-stage mobile warrior for a long time and has a lot of experience. It won't be easy to defeat her!"
Cheng Shuhan just smiled and didn't say much more. Originally, she also agreed with her senior's view, but after Yuan Beibei encountered that mysterious opponent online, her confidence in this matter was not as strong as she had imagined.
"Little girl, if you want to get first place in this assessment, it won't be that easy!" she thought to herself.
It was unknown whether the "Mysterious Hermit" was a military academy student and whether he was also participating in this assessment. If he was, his performance would surely be outstanding. She really wanted to see what kind of person he was.
...
The space inside the temple was still astonishingly vast, and the Void Hunter mech moved within it like an ant crawling on a starship.
In this grand hall, ancient bronze stone seats and giant statues were arranged in concentric circles, with the ones closer to the center being larger and more intricately decorated.
The outermost seats were over a hundred meters tall and made of extremely hard material. Ordinary energy weapons could not leave a mark on them! Therefore, the mech could easily use them as obstacles to dodge the attacks of numerous enemies, avoiding being surrounded and attacked from all sides.
By now, the enemies generated by the central computer were not just fierce beasts but also various types of mechs and combat robots.
Missiles, particle beams, annihilation spheres, cloud burst bombs, infrasound waves... all kinds of powerful attacks rained down on the Void Hunter, determined to annihilate him completely!
Qin Huang suddenly slid to the side, hiding behind a nearby stone pillar to avoid several ion beams. The Gauss electromagnetic cannon on his right arm fired continuously, piercing through a Shadow Wolf mech that was attacking vigorously a hundred meters away. The particle oscillation blade moved rapidly, slicing through several combat robots that had approached.
Thanks to the improvement in his combat skills, his source energy consumption remained low, and the Alaya Vijnana technique continued to recover his energy, albeit slowly. Over time, this would form a significant advantage! After all, no matter how strong the other students were, they couldn't compare to him in this aspect.
Moreover, thanks to the power of the War Emperor Star Decisive Technique, even his ordinary attacks were more destructive than those of other students, so the time and energy he spent killing each enemy were minimal!
The frequency of the light flashes in the sky gradually increased, and the strength of the generated enemies also grew. When Qin Huang cleared the surrounding dozen fierce beasts again, he found himself blocked by two Cloud Leopard Type 1 mechs.
These were second-stage bronze mechs, known for their powerful attacks. In a direct confrontation, they could easily suppress the Void Hunter.
Four electromagnetic attack missiles, glowing blue, shot at him at high speed. Qin Huang immediately activated the electromagnetic shield and retreated rapidly into the depths of the temple, zigzagging to avoid the missile explosions. He then reappeared from another passage and launched a fierce attack, breaking through the energy shield of one of the mechs and finishing it off with the Gauss electromagnetic cannon, turning its cockpit into a pile of debris!
However, the other Cloud Leopard had already rushed to his back, its ion laser sword slashing repeatedly, causing the Void Hunter's energy shield to consume rapidly and soon reach the brink of collapse!
Qin Huang snorted coldly, advancing instead of retreating. He blocked the opponent's blade with his particle oscillation blade and fired the Gauss electromagnetic cannon almost point-blank at the cockpit! The metal projectiles, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, easily tore through the energy shield and armor, turning the core cockpit into a ball of fire!
The central computer seemed to sense his ferocity and quickly increased the difficulty. Three Gargoyle mechs formed around him, apparently planning to trap and kill him! Not far away, several heavy hover tanks were already visible, their 150mm cannons locking onto his position.
"Do you think you can trap me? Dream on!"
The Gauss electromagnetic cannon was retracted into the built-in weapon bay on the mech's left arm. He reached back and grabbed a heavy alloy shield almost as tall as the mech. He placed it in front of him, and the source energy matrix patterns on the shield lit up, blocking the simultaneous fire from the hover tanks' cannons!
Then the particle oscillation blade swept rapidly, killing one of the Gargoyles. The Void Hunter moved along the hard stone wall, using guerrilla tactics to gradually wear down the enemy numbers. Within half a minute, he had eliminated all the hover tanks.
In the complex terrain of the temple, it was difficult for the enemy to truly surround him. With Qin Huang's keen perception and precise control of the battle situation, he would seize any opportunity to kill the enemy and break out of the encirclement, turning defeat into victory.
In the midst of the chaos, he glanced at his points, finding that he was already approaching the top ten and still rising rapidly! As long as he didn't fail midway, he would soon enter the top ten!
The only thing that made him slightly uneasy was the increasing rate of source energy consumption, which might not last as long as he expected. Of course, if he found it difficult, the other students would find it even harder, so there was nothing to worry about.
...
"...This damn central computer must be malfunctioning, putting me in such a hellish place!" Yuan Beibei, controlling her "Lightning Tiger," circled in the treacherous swamp, muttering angrily.
The moment she was teleported into the map, the experienced fighter knew she was in trouble!
If it were just the relentless pursuit of fierce beasts, mechs, and tanks, she wouldn't be too worried. The problem was that this terrain was a nightmare!
With the weight of the mech, it was impossible to walk directly on the ground; doing so would result in being stuck and becoming a live target for the enemies, with no place to hide! She had to keep the anti-gravity field active to ensure her safety.
However, this increased the mech's energy consumption, reducing her sustainable combat time and ultimately decreasing her points.
Currently, Yuan Beibei's ranking was still barely in first place, but the other students were catching up quickly. It wouldn't be long before she lost her top spot!
It had to be said that the young lady's luck this time was not very good. If the terrain were more normal, her performance would have been even more impressive!
"Can only last another twenty-one minutes... This is so frustrating!" She checked the remaining energy of her mech, gritted her teeth, and cursed, cutting down several third-stage fierce beasts that had pounced on her, then quickly moved away.
At this point, some students outside were already unable to hold on, being defeated by various enemies and kicked out by the central computer.
Some had their source energy index consumed too quickly; others lacked combat experience and were killed by the powerful enemies in the map; still, others had extremely bad luck and were severely affected by the treacherous terrain, such as quicksand, deep sea, swamps, or microgravity environments in starships.
For those students with poorer adaptability, encountering such situations was just bad luck! After all, luck was also part of one's strength! The school would not give any special treatment; if you lost, you lost!
So, Qin Huang's luck this time was indeed quite good.
The on-site supervisors began to get busy, leading the eliminated students out and calming their emotions to prevent any trouble.
A few minutes later, Liu Caihui, drenched in sweat, opened his eyes, checked his ranking, and found that his points were exactly at 300th place, causing him to shout excitedly. However, this earned him a slap from the instructor beside him!
"Quiet!" the instructor said coldly, "Whether you pass or not, go wait outside now!"
"Uh... Yes..." he said sheepishly, then obediently left.
