Chapter 97: Overcoming the difficulties (Part )

The power of the mind is a very magical and strange power that acts directly on the mind and soul. It is not a spell, so most defensive spells cannot defend against it.

But it's not real damage.

The abilities of this mind flayer were extremely strange, and it was floating in the air, so Chu Cheng couldn't reach it at all.

If it were another melee professional, he would be at a loss.

But unfortunately, the power of the mind cannot bypass talent and can still rebound.

Each powerful mental explosion was like a sledgehammer hitting the brain, making Chu Cheng dizzy.

The mental whipping was like hanging a string of firecrackers on his head, continuously attacking his spirit.

In addition, there are also mental barriers, mental traction, soul devouring, etc. There are not many means, but they are completely impossible to defend against and you can only endure them.

Fortunately, this Mind Flayer is not at a high level and its direct burst capability is insufficient.

After a round of mental explosion, Chu Cheng had only lost a little over 300 HP, while the Mind Flayer had already lost half of his HP.

After only three rounds of reincarnation, he was shot to death.

As soon as the Heart Flayer died, a screen popped up in front of Chu Cheng, showing:

"The first round of challenges has ended, with a record of 10 wins and 0 losses. Do you want to continue with the second round of challenges?"

Chu Cheng confirmed without hesitation:

"Continue the challenge!"

According to past experience, only those who complete the first round of challenges, win at least nine games, complete the second round of challenges, win at least seven games, and win five games in the third round will be eligible to apply for top universities.

That is the minimum application score.

Yes, higher education institutions do not require you to win all ten battles.

This is difficult to do because different professions have their strengths and weaknesses.

For example, tank professions basically have difficulty dealing with fast ranged units, not to mention mages and flying air units.

Most melee professions cannot deal with a necromancer with hundreds of summoned units, and it is also difficult to deal with an elite mage.

Therefore, the impact of failure in the most difficult challenges is not that big. If you lose, you lose. Just try your best.

But then again, if you can successfully challenge a disadvantageous position, it will be a huge plus.

When he confirmed the second round of challenge, a beam of light descended from the sky, which not only quickly restored all his status and reset all his skill CDs, but also caused a slight spatial fluctuation.

When the beam of light disappeared, another battle field appeared.

It is not much different from the first one, except that the venue has been greatly expanded, from the size of a football field to about the size of three football fields.

After a one-minute countdown, a fully armed human two-handed swordsman walked out of the teleportation beam.

Elite Warrior (Elite): A battle-hardened elite warrior, level 25, 3000 health.

The soldier saluted him, raised his sword, and charged towards Chu Cheng.

"clang!"

Just like the first opponent in the previous round, Chu Cheng easily blocked the opponent's charge. The fifth floor of the Mage Tower was a huge workshop, divided into sections like an Internet cafe, filled with workbenches, and suspended above were mirror-like projection screens, showing scenes of battle spaces.

Most of the light screens are white, and the battle scenes inside are different, but basically they cover ten different types of players.

Many staff members patrolled in front of rows of light screens, stopping from time to time to observe the battle on a light screen.

There are many light screens and a lot of staff, but the workshop is extremely quiet and even the footsteps are very light.

At a certain moment, one of the light curtains suddenly lit up and attracted the attention of a nearby staff member. He quickly walked over and saw that the edge of the light curtain changed from white to green. His face did not change. He just calmly checked the light curtain number, then downloaded all the previous round of videos and sent them to his superiors.

The sixth floor of the Mage Tower is also a huge workshop.

However, most of the workbenches are not turned on, and only a very few are turned on. The edges of the pop-up light curtain are green, and the battle scenes displayed on it are all of the students who have entered the second floor.

After Chu Cheng's information was passed to the staff on the sixth floor, they received it and did a simple check. A new workbench was reopened and the light curtain popped up, showing his battle scene.

At this time, he was facing his third opponent, who was a strength and agility type opponent, corresponding to the first round.

For Chu Cheng, there is not much difference between the first round and the second round.

It just has higher health, higher attack, and higher attributes. It is much stronger, but there is no qualitative difference. It is still at the stage where it is easily crushed by him.

The fourth opponent was also a stealth fighter, and he was already sneaking in the light column.

The same tactics, remain constant in the face of ever-changing situations, wait on the spot for their attack, mark them immediately, and then nothing else.

The fifth opponent is a half-elf archer.

This time he didn't stand and attack like he did in the last round. He charged the Thunder Shock for one second, turned into lightning and jumped over to knock the half-elf archer unconscious. Then he used all his skills including weapon skills, and killed him instantly with a set of silky combos.

The sixth opponent is a level 25 elite mage.

Having had experience in dealing with the mage in the previous round, I used the same trick to trick the mage into casting a life-saving spell, activated Blade Storm before being frozen, and then opened fire to kill him in one second.

The seventh opponent, an opponent with maximum physique, strength and agility, is a spider-like drow.

The eighth opponent was a fire element in the last round, and this round it is a level 25 elite ice element.

The ninth opponent was a Necromancer in the last round, and a Summoner this round. Although the number of summons was not as many as the Necromancer, the quality was better. He actually summoned a level 25 elite giant bear beast and eight ordinary beasts of the same level 25.

The tenth opponent was the Mind Flayer in the last round, and this time it was a demon wizard who was good at summoning demons and blasphemous words, and was extremely disgusting.

When Chu Cheng defeated the last opponent in the second round, his name appeared on the seventh floor of the Mage Tower.

This floor is smaller than the two floors below, and there are not many staff around, but the office of the College Entrance Examination Committee is here, and its main management personnel are also here.

The staff came to the first row and opened a new workbench for him. The edge of the light curtain was blue.

There was also a label specially put on it, which contained his name, school, achievements and other basic information.

There are only five new workbenches on the entire seventh floor.

This means that at this moment, out of the thousands of people in the entire Tianshui City examination hall, only five people defeated ten opponents in the second round in a row and embarked on the third round of challenges.

The staff members did not show any surprise at this, but when they had nothing to do they still stood in front of the light screens and pointed.

At this time, a middle-aged man came over and said:
"Record this. All those who won five or more games in the third round, or seven or more games, will be recorded separately. No mistakes will be made."
