Gao Wu: My Dragon Valley System

Chapter 884 The second round of assessment, darkness is coming!
Although the rule is that only thirty people who have successfully passed the test can enter the second round, they are all from the same group of participants, so the number of people in the second round of assessment exceeded the expected number.

However, this was also within the expectations of Zhang Junmo and Vegeta.

Originally, Vegeta was worried whether all fifty people would pass the level, but in the end, only about thirty people did. This was actually good news for him.

As for Zhang Junmo, he felt a little emotional. Even a holy magician would be tempted by money.

Of course, he also understood that magic crystals were not just wealth for a magician, but also a personal trump card.

Whether for consumption or for combat, it is an extremely important resource.

Twenty million magic crystals, this might be the entire fortune of an ordinary Holy Mage.

Even for a ninth-rank holy mage, it is a considerable fortune.

Just by participating in an assessment, they can get 20 million once they pass. The higher the difficulty of the assessment, the more challenging it is for them. In addition, there is no danger in the virtual world.

All these conditions combined together attracted so many holy magicians to participate in the assessment.

A long time after the eighth group of participants entered the square, the high wall on the square fell down again, and people outside saw that there were more than thirty more people inside.

After everyone was shocked, some people felt very regretful.

Because they also rushed here after hearing the news, after arriving here, these people naturally learned about the specific circumstances of the assessment. They knew that as long as the number of people who passed the first round reached 30, the second round of assessment would begin.

The previous teleportation function had been restored to normal under the official expedited repair. Many of them discovered that they could teleport when they were halfway through their journey, and they teleported into the Central Holy City as soon as possible. However, they did not expect that even so, they were still a step late when they arrived.

Looking at the regretful faces outside, the people who passed the level in the center of the square couldn't help but smile.

They were lucky to have arrived early, otherwise they would have probably ended up like those people.

However, this group of people were not too proud because they knew that this was only the first round of assessment.

Then all their attention was focused on Zhang Junmo and Vegeta.

In the virtual world, it is impossible to judge other people's cultivation level simply by perception, but the fact that they can set up the first round of levels is enough to show that the two people in front of them are extremely extraordinary.

It is said that the examiner for the second round is this young man in front of you who doesn’t look very smart.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the one to start arranging the people at the previous checkpoints.

His strength might have reached the level of a half-god!

Among the more than 30 people who passed the level, there were eight at level nine, six at level eight, ten at level seven, and eleven at level six.

Those sixth- and seventh-level holy magicians knew that although they had passed the level, they had basically gotten in by relying on someone powerful.

They are naturally the best in the same realm, but the gap in realm is there.

There is no fool who can get to this point, and no one will be naive enough to think that he is enough.

The second level of the test is said to be to hold out for one minute under the examiner.

According to this rule, the next thing everyone should do is to defend against the magic released by the other party.

That is half-god-level magic!
Although they have thirty holy magicians, the gap between them and those at the sixth and seventh levels is too big.

I'm afraid that when the first wave of attacks comes, they may not be able to withstand it.

But now that we have come this far, we will naturally not give up easily.

Even if I don't get the reward of 20 million magic crystals, at least I can see where my limits are?

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to personally experience the magic released by a half-god of magic.

No matter how you look at it, this trip is worth it!

The first round is over and the second round of assessment is about to begin.

Because there were no new participants joining, the assessment process no longer had to be concealed and the high walls were no longer built.

Everyone can clearly see what is happening in the square.

"Next, the second round of assessment will begin!"

"As for the test, you must withstand the examiner's magic for no less than one minute, and it is limited to defense!"

"If there are more than nine people who can last for more than one minute, then the nine people with the longest time will be the winners."

Since the purpose of recruiting team members is to hunt down star demons, the team members must be strong enough, but at the same time there cannot be too many people.

Not only because more people would increase the risk of exposure, but the more important reason is the fear of casualties if the operation fails.

If an accident happens and the entire team is wiped out, it will be a heavy loss for the Sky Sanctuary.

If nothing unexpected happens, the people who hold on to the end must be those eighth or ninth level Holy Magisters. Powerful people of this level are naturally extremely important combat forces for the Holy Land.

After all, the Holy Land still needs to cultivate more Semi-Gods of Law, or even Gods of Law, and these people are important talent reserves.

The loss of one could mean the loss of a future half-god of magic, or even a god of magic!

Even though Vegeta was very confident about this operation, he did not selfishly want to take more people away.

"Everyone, are you ready?"

Zhang Junmo saw that the time was almost right, so he announced: "The second round of assessment begins!"

As soon as the words fell, the figures of the thirty-five holy magicians suddenly disappeared, and when they reappeared the next moment, they were scattered in different locations of the square.

This was to prevent them from joining forces in defence.

If thirty-five holy magicians join forces, even if they are only at the first level of cultivation, they will be able to resist the magic of the half-god of magic.

What's more, the weakest of these people is at the level of sixth-order Holy Mage.

After these thirty-five holy magicians were dispersed, they all tried to gather together as soon as possible.

Even though they were separated, it didn't mean they couldn't reunite.

This is almost the first thing everyone wants to do.

However, they soon gave up.

This is a virtual world. This square was rented by Zhang Junmo. For the time being, Zhang Junmo is like the master of this small world and has absolute control over it.

With just a thought, he could make it difficult for anyone in the square to move.

Everyone found themselves unable to leave the area within a radius of fifty meters around them.

It seems that everyone's range of movement has been locked into this small area under their feet.

With their retreat route cut off, everyone had no choice but to defend from the front.

At this moment, a powerful energy wave was heard, attracting the attention of everyone inside and outside the venue to the core of the wave.

It's Vegeta!
At this moment, he looked completely different from his previous inconspicuous appearance. He looked powerful and mysterious, like an abyss with no bottom.

A dark sphere gathered above his head, and then it suddenly exploded, transforming into inky black rays of light that shot towards the thirty-five holy magicians in the field.

Zhang Junmo next to him was a little surprised.

Dark magic?

I didn't expect Vegeta to master the rules of darkness.

Light, darkness, time, and space, these four rules cover the appearance and essence of the entire world. At the same time, these four rules are also extremely mysterious and powerful.

Bright, warm, healing, yet also hot and intense.

Dark, cold, and pitch black, it seems to devour everything, but in fact it embraces everything.

Time is a parameter used to describe the process of material movement or event occurrence. It is a concept that does not exist in itself.

But when this concept appears, time exists.

It is clearly there, but it is invisible and intangible.

Countless people tried to keep it, but couldn't make it stay for even a moment.

Space is a measure of the positional differences between objects. Real space is usually expressed by length, height, width, and size, usually referring to the four directions and up and down.

Time and space are interrelated. Space changes because of the existence of time, and time only has meaning when it depends on space.

If one could master the four rules of light, darkness, time and space at the same time, it might be equivalent to mastering part of the essence of this world.

Zhang Junmo thought so in his heart.

But he soon came to his senses and realized, didn't he already master these rules?

The profession of Time and Space Lord possesses these four attributes and four rules at the same time.

However, apart from himself, Zhang Junmo has never seen anyone who can possess two or more of these four rules at the same time.

Come to think of it, it is because I have a system that I can master these rules.

The power of the system comes from the fragments of the will of the star.

The fact that I have mastered the power of the will of the stars is equivalent to mastering part of the essence of this world. There is nothing wrong with that.

On the other hand, while Zhang Junmo was lost in thought, the eliminated contestants had already appeared in the field.

Although this is only Vegeta's first magic, he is a half-god of magic after all, and is still too weak in comparison to the sixth-level holy magician.

Because the attack came too quickly, several sixth-level holy magicians did not have time to cast magic for defense. Although the power was dispersed among thirty-five people, the huge gap in realm was not so easy to make up after all.

There were continuous streams of dark light shooting out from the black sphere above Vegeta's head.

Although this is only a high-level magic, it contains dark rules.

It can corrode and swallow the power of rules they use for defense.

But the Holy Mage is the Holy Mage after all.

After being caught off guard at the beginning, the remaining holy mages quickly regained their rhythm.

After a loophole appeared in their defense, they chose to counterattack, launching an offensive in the direction where the dark light was coming from.

Because the rules set at the beginning clearly stated that the examinee's means were limited to defense.

Therefore, the counterattack magic released by people would simply dissipate into thin air once it exceeded their range of activity.

There was also a case where someone failed to grasp the attack distance well, causing the attack magic to dissipate before hitting the black streamer. In the end, this person was almost hit by the dark streamer and was eliminated.

However, this also put him in a very passive position.

The subsequent black light shot out faster and faster. Because of the initial mistake, the Holy Mage was unable to avoid it and was pierced through the body by the black light.

However, such an injury did not seem to directly make him lose his fighting ability, and the man was still holding on.

But then, the black ball on Vegeta's head suddenly turned into a ball of black flame.

The flame twisted in the air, as if emitting an extremely terrifying high temperature, even the space was distorted by the burning.

However, what was surprising was that after the flame appeared, it did not attack the people in the square.

Just when the examinees were confused, their faces suddenly changed.

Because they noticed that black flames had appeared on their bodies at some point.

The flame was so inconspicuous at first that almost no one noticed it.

The person who really made people notice the flames on his body was the one who was previously hit by the black light.

Suddenly, balls of black fire ignited on the man's body. Everyone else saw it clearly, but he seemed to notice nothing and was still looking around vigilantly.

It was not until he noticed that several people who were closer to him were looking at him with extremely strange eyes that he realized that such terrible flames had appeared on his body without him knowing when.

The flame was silent, and he didn't even feel it. No matter how he slapped his body or mobilized the power of rules to put out the black fire, it was of no use.

This black fire was like a maggot on his tarsal bones, as if it wanted to burn away all his strength.

In just a short moment, the man felt that his mental power seemed to be burned out, and it was difficult to mobilize magical elements.

Although this is a virtual world, the existence of magical elements and telekinesis can be simulated.

This wave of black fire not only burned him and made him lose all his fighting power, but also affected others to varying degrees.

Especially the sixth and seventh level holy magicians, their mental power has obviously weakened a lot.

However, Vegeta's attack went far beyond that.

In order to eliminate as many extra players as possible within one minute, Vegeta released new magic again.

When the black flames dissipated, everyone wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but they didn't expect that what would follow was endless darkness.

The surroundings suddenly became dark, all the images in front of their eyes disappeared, all perceptions were blocked, and it seemed that even their own existence was erased.

This kind of fear of not being able to perceive anything can easily make people lose their composure.

Especially in the dark, people's courage seems to be taken away bit by bit.

The light and hope in my heart are being swallowed up by darkness.

Finally, someone couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed and screamed.

"Admit defeat!"

"You win!"

"I am willing to give up the assessment!"

When one person gives up, there will be a second one.

Soon, more than half of the thirty-five examinees who successfully passed the first round had been reduced to only sixteen people.

Among the remaining sixteen people, six eighth-level Holy Magisters are still there, but one of the eight ninth-level Holy Magisters was eliminated in the previous session.

The main reason is that the man is best at trapping people in the abyss magic, and its effect is similar to the endless darkness just now, but it cannot make people gradually ignore their own existence.

No matter the rules he mastered or the magic he was good at, they were all completely suppressed in front of Vegeta's magic and he had no power to resist.

There are three more, all of whom are seventh-level holy magicians.

The other seventh-level and sixth-level holy magicians were all eliminated.

However, as if to give the rest of the people a more exciting experience, Vegeta's ultimate move came seamlessly at this moment!
