Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 42 Arrival at the Island, Trials Begin

After a while.

After reviewing the rules, everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"This trial is very difficult, so everyone should be mentally prepared."

Shao Hong's gaze swept over the crowd, his expression solemn.

"Besides the barbarians, we must also be wary of other apprentices."

Guan Ling was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked in surprise, "Why? The rules forbid apprentices from killing each other!"

"The rules only prohibit killing other apprentices, not that you can't do it!" Shao Hong said solemnly. "In previous trials, the academy strictly punished apprentices who violated the rules without any mercy, but they ignored any behavior outside the rules."

Upon hearing this, everyone realized what was happening, and their expressions changed slightly.

Indeed, the rules only stated that other apprentices could not be killed, but did not say that physical violence was prohibited.

This gives us more room to maneuver.

For example, using force to coerce others into transferring points!

Jiang Weifang swallowed hard and whispered, "Perhaps the crystal bracelet doesn't have the function of transferring points?"

Shao Hong said meaningfully, "It's possible, but the chances are slim. Do you think the academy would be so kind as to disable this feature?"

of course not!

Almost immediately, the same answer came to everyone's mind.

Tower Academy has always adhered to the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, and encourages competition among students. The idea of ​​peaceful coexistence is simply not in the academy's dictionary.

Not to mention that this trial laid bare its cruelty to everyone right from the start.

It's obvious to anyone with a brain that the academy will most likely tacitly approve, or even encourage, apprentices to compete for points among themselves.

Shao Hong said with a deep gaze, "Don't underestimate the cruelty of the trial."

"So many people die in the trials every year, but not all of them are killed by the trial participants. Some of them are probably killed by other apprentices."

"After all, as long as you don't do it yourself and do it discreetly, it doesn't count as breaking the rules."

His words left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment, their expressions grave.

A wizard has many ways to indirectly kill someone!

"Therefore, everyone must be careful and vigilant when encountering other apprentices during the trials."

"In addition, I suggest that everyone form teams in batches of two or three people. This way, you can look out for each other and not reduce the hunting efficiency."

The group exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

The Celestial Spirit Society was originally established not only to exchange information and knowledge, but also to help each other during trials. Naturally, no one would raise any objections at this point.

Shao Hong glanced at Pei Ze and said, "Of course, anyone who teams up with me and Pei Ze must pay 300 contribution points or 300 gold coins per day. Does anyone have any objections?"

No one raised any objections.

This was planned in advance.

Pei Ze and Shao Hong are both second-level wizard apprentices, whose strength far surpasses that of the others. Teaming up with first-level wizard apprentices like them would definitely put them at a disadvantage, so demanding compensation is perfectly reasonable.

Three hundred contribution points/gold coins are a bit expensive, but if they can help you pass the trial, it's worth it.

After reaching a consensus, everyone stopped chatting and sat down cross-legged on the spot, closing their eyes to rest and conserve their energy for the upcoming battle.

Half an hour passed quickly.

Pei Ze, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly felt something and opened his eyes abruptly, only to be surprised to find that the floating giant ship was shrouded in a layer of rainbow light.

Amidst the flashes of light, the distorted void outside the ship could be vaguely seen.

Pei Ze suddenly realized something.

They are traversing a dimensional barrier!

After four or five breaths, the floating behemoth suddenly shuddered, and its hull noticeably slowed down.

At the same time, the rainbow light that enveloped the ship slowly dissipated.

Pei Ze's expression shifted, and he stood up and went to the edge of the deck to look out.

A deep, clear blue sky instantly came into view.

On the vast sea, the rolling waves meet the blue sky, forming an infinitely distant horizon.

A raised, dark shape stood silently on the horizon; it was clearly the trial island they were heading to.

A sliver of dark clouds slowly peeked through the sky above the island, and dim white light shone down from the heavens, falling upon the small island.

It gives people a sense of mystery and tranquility.

"Is that the island where the trials are held?"

The members of the Celestial Spirit Society also came to the edge of the deck and looked out at the distant island.

"It looks like it's a lot of space."

"That's normal, considering it needs to accommodate over 100,000 people."

As they drew closer, the island's full view gradually came into view.

The island is oval-shaped, wider at the head and narrower at the tail, and looks a bit like a whale. More than a third of its area is covered by forest.

Just as they were looking around, Ai Yuan's authoritative voice rang out again.

"We've arrived at our destination. The trial shall now begin!"

The moment the last word fell, Pei Ze felt a darkness before his eyes. When his vision returned to normal, he found himself in a dense forest.

There was no one around, he was all alone, and all he could see were towering trees.

"A group teleportation spell?"

Pei Ze clicked his tongue. It was still random teleportation. This meant that the Star Spirit Society's plan to form a team was probably going to fall through.

On a vast island, it's not so easy to bump into each other.

Just then, Pei Ze suddenly felt something was wrong with his wrist. Looking down, he discovered that he had put a crystal bracelet on his left wrist at some point.

"The methods of formal wizards are truly unpredictable."

This crystal bracelet is clearly a tool used to record points.

Pei Ze reached out and placed his hand on the crystal bracelet, drawing out a wisp of his spiritual energy and injecting it into it. Soon, information about the crystal bracelet's usage appeared in his mind.

The crystal bracelet can absorb the soul energy of barbarians after their deaths and convert it into corresponding points.

In addition, the crystal bracelet also has the functions of transferring points (soul energy) and viewing the real-time points leaderboard.

"As expected, I knew the academy wasn't that kind."

Pei Zejing could imagine how fierce the competition would be.

After all, what's the quicker way to gain points than painstakingly hunting down barbarians?

In particular, you can also view other people's scores through the leaderboard.

As a result, the higher an apprentice ranks on the list, the more likely they are to become a target for other apprentices.

There is no such thing as a one-on-one duel in the trials.

Even the most skilled apprentice cannot fight against four hands with two fists.

Of course, Pei Ze was an exception.

He is least afraid of large crowds.

Could there be more than the two thousand mist crows inside Wu Yu's body?

After calming himself down, Pei Ze casually activated the list on the crystal bracelet.

Countless strands of azure light instantly escaped from the surface of the bracelet, weaving and outlining lines of text in the void.

Before long, a semi-transparent phantom list appeared in front of Pei Ze.

1st place: Gu Lin, points: 5

2nd place, Jiang Jingwen, points 3

3th place, Huang Chen, points 1

"They're already fighting barbarians so soon?"

Pei Ze was somewhat surprised, but then he thought about it and understood.

With such a massive floating warship hovering at the edge of the island, it was impossible for any of the island's barbarians to miss it unless they were blind.

They were probably already prepared, just waiting for the wizard apprentices to land on the island before launching an attack.

It's unknown how many people will be caught off guard and perish in this first wave of attacks.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Pei Ze's expression shifted, and a half-smile appeared on his face.

"What a coincidence, you came as soon as I mentioned it."

The moment his self-talk ended, three sharp spears suddenly pierced through the air from his rear, shooting towards his brow, neck, and chest with a piercing explosion!

Despite the sudden attack, Pei Ze remained calm. A fine steel longsword instantly appeared in his palm, and he swiftly turned around while unleashing a series of lightning-fast strikes.

In an instant, three muffled thuds were heard, and the three spears almost simultaneously deflected and flew away, falling not far away.

At the same time, Pei Ze uttered a series of syllables rapidly, and his other free hand suddenly reached out and pulled hard.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, a figure fell from behind a tree and crashed to the ground, its body twisted into a bizarre arc as if struck by a heavy hammer, already lifeless.

The Mage's Hand!

"kill!"

Seeing that their sneak attack had failed, the attackers stopped hiding and rushed out from behind the trees.

The attackers numbered twelve, all dressed in simple clothing made of animal hides. They were tall and muscular, exuding a savage and primitive aura.

Dilo the barbarian!
