Ultimately, the top-ranked assessment item was underwater treasure hunting, with eight altars submitted for this task. (Google search reading)
The content is also very simple: contestants will be dropped into a sea area and find one hundred treasure chests hidden underwater. The ranking is based on the time taken to find them. Weapons are limited to level 2.
Simply put, this test assesses underwater maneuverability.
Upon seeing the assessment criteria, the contestants immediately began preparing.
This plaza, specifically designed for the assessment, features weapon racks that can be summoned by the reincarnators at any time. Suddenly, all sorts of equipment were brought out: some wore diving suits, others had underwater breathing apparatus, and some even brought out a miniature submarine.
Soon, the preparation time arrived, and the mass teleportation began in the square.
As the contestants disappeared from the field, a huge light screen appeared above the torches of the altar, broadcasting the competition live.
In the video, the contestants fall into the water as soon as they appear. Most of them immediately dive underwater to seize the opportunity and start searching for treasure chests. However, some people first observe the surrounding environment, such as the composition of the air and the temperature of the water. Some even take out detection devices to detect the water depth and the nearby seabed topography.
"Those who aren't in a hurry to act, regardless of their swimming skills, are at least more composed," said the white-haired, white-bearded master of the Ninth Altar, stroking his beard. "In the interdimensional battlefield, a calm mindset is often more important than strength!"
Several representatives from the altars nodded in agreement, when suddenly a cold laugh rang out.
"Calmness is important, but overwhelming strength is fundamental..." The speaker was Yun Ao from the eighth altar beside him. He glanced at a masked female swordsman behind him: "Liang Yue, what do you think?"
The female swordsman glanced at the screen: "The female elf Alicia has already dived to the seabed. While she was surveying the environment, she has already completed her mission!"
In the scene, the blonde elf swims in the water like a mermaid. The water here is about two hundred meters deep on average, reaching the twilight zone, and the surroundings are dark with low visibility. However, relying on her extraordinary senses, Alicia quickly finds the first treasure chest!
"We're currently ahead..." said the altar master of the eighteenth altar, a middle-aged woman dressed in a flamboyant manner, with a smile. "But the real test is yet to come."
Alicia held her breath, staring at the treasure chest before her, her brows furrowing slightly...
This thing is way too big!
It wasn't the box she had imagined that she could lift with both hands, but a huge box that was more than two meters long and more than one meter wide... A person could lie down inside it, and Alicia thought it would be more appropriate to call it a coffin.
Fortunately, there was an iron chain attached to the large coffin. Alicia pulled the chain, and with a pull, the huge coffin moved slightly.
It's not very heavy; it can be easily moved on land. However, in the water, it would probably take a long time to pull it up to a height of 200 meters using only swimming strength.
"To come down just by holding your breath is too hasty!" The old man at the Ninth Altar said with a hint of pride, glancing at Yun Ao.
Yun Ao snorted coldly, "The real show has only just begun!"
In the scene, Alicia has chains tucked under her arms, her palms clasped together, and magical light suddenly shines from her body. Then, a stream of water suddenly rises from below, lifting her and the huge treasure chest upwards at an extremely fast speed!
"Haha, so that's a trick up your sleeve!" At the twelfth altar, a young man wearing exaggerated goggles, only half of his face visible, laughed loudly. "I originally wanted to compete with you all as an ordinary person, but all I got was ridicule. Fine, I'll stop pretending. I know magic, I'll lay my cards on the table!"
Just as he was showing off, Lei Ting tapped him with the butt of his gun, causing the kid to stumble and drawing laughter from the people around him.
Amidst the laughter and chatter, Alicia in the scene was only a few dozen meters from the water's surface. Just as the masked female swordsman had said, some people were still surveying the sea from the surface, not yet in the water.
Just then, a huge black shadow rushed over, opening its huge mouth to bite Alicia!
Sensing something was wrong, Alicia immediately manipulated the water to dodge. The dark shadow brushed past her, then with a flick of its tail, it turned around to reveal a giant, mouthy fish that was over ten meters long.
"They're here..." said the altar master of the twenty-seventh altar, a bespectacled man with a refined air. "The Iron-Deck Jawfish, the apex predator of this area, has thick scales that can withstand bullets from light firearms. Encountering one of these in the water is no good..."
"She's just unlucky..." The altar master of the twenty-fifth altar, an old woman in a wheelchair, shook her head. "Quite a few newcomers die in the selection process every year..."
Normally, each altar could adjust the view to see what they wanted, but because of their argument, everyone focused their attention on Alicia.
The female elf stood in the water, her golden hair flowing freely. She faced the monster without fear, as beautiful and sacred as a sea goddess.
The Iron-Deck Jawfish opened its huge mouth and attacked again. Alicia's beautiful eyes narrowed, and suddenly white magical energy condensed in her hands, freezing the seawater around her!
Sea ice continued to form, stretching outwards until it instantly enveloped the enormous, monstrous fish. The fish felt the cold and struggled desperately, but the ice around it grew thicker and thicker, quickly freezing it into a large ice block that slowly drifted towards the surface of the sea.
Having dealt with the monster, Alicia manipulated the water currents, dragging the treasure chest upwards until she reached the surface.
"Pfft!" After struggling underwater for at least ten minutes and expending energy in the battle, even with her lung capacity, she felt a bit oxygen-deprived. As soon as she surfaced, she greedily inhaled a breath of air, her golden hair whipping up with seawater, making her look like a goddess emerging from a bath, a truly pleasing sight.
Alicia did it!
But she wasn't the first!
"You're a little slower than I expected..." A man's voice came from not far away. Alicia turned her head and saw that it was the chosen one, Soros.
This handsome blond man sat on a giant treasure chest, floating on the sea.
A treasure chest should be heavier than water, so how come...?
Alicia frowned slightly, then suddenly saw the treasure chest beneath Soros rise to the surface, revealing a broad fish back underneath!
It wasn't floating on the surface of the sea, but was being supported by a steel-decked wrasse, and it looked even bigger than the one Alicia had just dealt with!
Soros patted the fish's back with a smile, and the giant fish flicked its tail, seemingly acting coquettishly.
"You guys, you've been too busy looking at the pretty girls!" The altar master of Altar Number Five, a woman who looked to be in her thirties, with a half-smoked cigarette dangling from her lips and curly hair resembling a landlady from a slum, laughed. "Soros already had the big fish caught. If you ask me, it has to be him. He's handsome, approachable, and even the fish likes him!"
As she spoke, she licked her lips and said, "I'm going to have this handsome guy!"
"You want him?" retorted the leader of Altar Number Two, a burly black man. "You haven't even asked me yet!"
"Do you even need to ask?" the landlady scoffed. "That black kid, Zepp, is one of yours, isn't he? You don't want him anymore?"
The burly Black man raised his hand and slowly clenched his fist: "I want them all!"
"Then you can be a little less ethical!" the landlady retorted sharply, her eyes practically spitting fire.
"Hey you two, don't you take me and Lao Ning seriously?" Luo Wei chimed in.
"Stop arguing!"
A majestic voice rang out, instantly dispelling the tense atmosphere.
It was Zeus, the one in charge of the first altar.
The aura of the strongest member of the Shen clan was so astonishing that a single sentence silenced the other high-ranking altar leaders.
"We are all heroes of the Shen tribe..." Zeus's tone softened. "We are comrades fighting for the interests of the Shen tribe. Why should comrades argue over who is superior? We must unite!"
"I...I understand..." The leaders of the altars nodded repeatedly, speaking somewhat timidly.
