Chapter 323 Upgrade Assessment! Something without the Priest's Soul!

"Excuse me, you've put me in a difficult position..."

"In terms of seniority, you've only been enrolled for less than two months, and you haven't even attended a single class in your college."

"But none of that matters. The most important thing is that you don't have enough experience in this task."

"To advance to the second year, you need to complete at least 10 D-level missions."

Shenxiao, the third-floor assessment area of ​​Nuwa Academy.

An elderly female teacher adjusted her reading glasses, glanced at the documents Lin Yi had submitted, and shook her head.

Lin Yi: "But teacher, I have experience from completing an S-rank mission and an SS-rank mission..."

"No, the requirement to advance to the second year is D-level mission completion experience. Your S-level and SS-level experience doesn't count."

Looking at the extremely stubborn and rigid female teacher in front of me.

Lin Yi was speechless.

If you can't advance to the second year, you can't go to the arena to fight the Ten Heroes of Shenxiao.

But where would I find the time to complete a full 10 D-level missions?

Just as Lin Yi was considering whether to ask Lan Ruoxi if there was any way to help.

The female teacher in front of her adjusted her reading glasses again and said, "If you're too lazy to do 10 D-level missions, there's another option for you."

"That means participating in the upgrade trial."

Lin Yi was taken aback.

Then he mentally exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

Isn't this what Nangong Ling was talking about before—participating in the trial?

Lin Yi had always thought that completing 10 D-level missions was part of the trial.

It now seems that completing tasks is one way, and directly participating in trials is another.

After all, the record of completing the task demonstrates the student's ability.

Since the mission records are insufficient, participating in relevant trials can also prove one's strength.

"Trial!"

"I will participate in the trial!"

The female teacher glanced at Lin Yi and continued, "The difficulty of the trial is definitely higher than completing 10 D-level missions, are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Then come with me."

A few minutes later.

Lin Yi was taken to an underground space.

"Grade 2 promotion assessment".

"He's in your hands now."

The female teacher handed Lin Yi over to another cool old man who looked equally old but was very energetic.

Then he left without looking back.

"Lin Yi, right? I've heard of you."

"My surname is also Lin, you can just call me Uncle Lin."

Uncle Lin, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, introduced himself to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi bowed respectfully.

"This is a training ground converted from an underground warehouse. Originally, it housed combat puppets made by the nation's top craftsmen."

"These combat dummy robots were all retired and discarded from the front lines of the battlefield."

"Based on the principle of making use of waste, our academy's craftsmen repaired them, and their performance can basically reach about fifty or sixty times that of before."

Lin Bo pointed to a spot not far away.

Lin Yi saw rows of combat puppets of different shapes and weapons.

Some of these combat puppets even bear a resemblance to professional fighters when viewed from a distance.

Follow Uncle Lin as we continue downhill.

Lin Yi heard the sounds of metal clashing against metal.

And I saw the glow of spells and skills.

The vast underground training ground was divided into several small assessment areas.

Dozens of people are already undergoing assessment at this moment.

There were also hundreds of students watching from the sidelines who had nothing else to do.

"Right now, the biggest purpose of these puppets is to help students like you who lack mission experience and whose strength is unknown to test your abilities."

Lin Yi's face darkened.

He argued, "Uncle Lin, it's not that I lack mission experience. I have an S-rank and an SS-rank mission experience..." Uncle Lin waved his hand and took a deep drag on his cigarette.

He then extinguished the cigarette by pressing it against the body of a steel puppet, and continued, "I know, I already told you I've heard of you."

"But don't blame Old Mrs. Wu for not giving you a good look."

Do you know how the older generation of mentors and scholars at Nuwa Academy evaluate you?

Lin Yi was taken aback: "Uh, I don't know..."

"Something without the spirit of a priest!"

"All you ever do is fight and kill!"

Lin Yi: "..."

Blame me!
If I hadn't been attracted by the benefits of Nuwa Academy, I would never have entered this academy...

"Alright, enough of the unnecessary chatter."

"go in."

As they were talking, Uncle Lin led Lin Yi to a spacious assessment area and took out an employee card from his pocket.

I swiped it on the sidelines.

Then he swiped Lin Yi's student card and signaled Lin Yi to enter the assessment area.

"Nuwa Academy, First Year, Lin Yi."

"The assessment is about to begin. Please stand in the designated area and do not wander around."

The name Lin Yi was announced over the loudspeaker in the assessment area.

Lin Yi stopped and waited quietly.

But it's obvious that, given Lin Yi's current fame, the moment his name is uttered...

Instantly, a group of Shenxiao students who were watching the excitement from the sidelines all gathered around.

"Holy crap, it's Lin Yi?"

"That can't be right! Didn't he just enroll?"

"Damn, it really is him!"

"How can he participate in the promotion assessment after less than two months of enrollment??"

"He has enough credits?!"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.

Soon, almost all the onlookers who had been watching the other assessment areas rushed to Lin Yi's assessment area.

"Lin Yi, you are now participating in the second-year upgrade assessment of Nuwa Academy."

"This assessment is divided into two stages."

"In the first challenge, you are an escort member of a 10-person expert team entering a dangerous area. Under the attack and interference of high-intensity puppets, please protect all members of the expert team and successfully complete the archaeological excavation mission."

"In the second challenge, as an elite professional, you will need to protect 30 wounded refugees on a complex international battlefield and help them evacuate safely."

The requirements for the two assessment stages have been explained.

Lin Yi also gained an understanding of the assessment content.

It seems that the core of Nuwa Academy's assessment is protection.

To the greatest extent possible, ensure the survival of friendly targets and the continuation of their work.

Lin Yi's vision blurred.

The next moment, the entire assessment area changed.

It has become an underground ruin, containing countless statues of gods, shrines, and some kind of artifact that looks very valuable for research.

At the same time, 10 characters with their names displayed in green appeared around Lin Yi.

These characters are actually combat puppets, but they have all been set as friendly targets.

The name is uniformly displayed as: Protected Target.

This should be a technology that combines some kind of holographic projection with real-world scenery.

You know what, it really does feel like you're there.

"Intruder found!"

"Execute the annihilation agreement!"

The next moment, alarms blared throughout the ruins.

At the four or five entrances to the ruins, piles of combat golems with red names appeared!
The moment these puppets appeared, they began to attack in waves.

"These precious artifacts can change the future of humanity!"

"Help us buy some time! We must get them out of here!"

One of the "protected targets" spoke to Lin Yi, and then all 10 protected targets dispersed, heading towards the cultural relics and statues they were studying.

This also marks the official start of Lin Yi's assessment!
