Chapter 136 Test Difficulty

Annual tests like this conducted by the principal himself are extremely rare.

 The content of the test also made all the new gentlemen present feel embarrassed, and even shattered all the confidence they had built up in the early stages of the test.

 The content to be tested is actually the weakest item.

Since gentleman training often focuses on one of the basic attributes, a strongman like Dagbert spends 70 to 80% of his energy on strength training, and does not spend any time on the lowest value [Intelligence].

Another example is a gentleman who is born with a staff and is weak. If he is asked to take a strength-related assessment, he has no idea how to complete it.

 However, a small number of gentlemen carefully analyzed the principal's words and discovered the key points and breakthroughs.

Yi Chen also understood the essence of the test at the first time.

　　　Thinking space is the direct manifestation of spirit.

 Although it is the weakest test, if the individual has enough perseverance and firm will, he can take the test.

 Perhaps you can achieve a spiritual breakthrough in the so-called thinking space and reach a state that is unreachable in the real world... It is equivalent to an alternative way of testing [inner potential].

 No wonder Professor Chamberson suggested that I take part. This purely spiritual test can indeed be regarded as a special experience.

By the way, my basic attributes are only [3] for coordination and induction. I don’t know which one I will choose for testing... I hope it is induction. The main related attribute of the firearm Edmund gave me is induction.

 Furthermore, the "black umbilical cord", as a relic, is also related to induction. 』

While Yi Chen was thinking, three students were called forward.

The principal slowly raised her hand, stretched out her white and soft palm, and touched the students' eyebrows with her index finger.

 At the moment of contact, his eyes lost focus and slowly closed.

 Their bodies were immediately wrapped in a star curtain and gradually floated in the air.

The "floating height" is related to the depth of consciousness they enter. Some are only half a meter above the ground, while some can float above everyone's heads.

However, this depth of awareness, when coordinated by the principal, will not overly impact testing. As long as you can find the 'exit' set by the principal in the thinking space, you can wake up normally.

 Three minutes is a quick time.

 However, there was only one gentleman who woke up normally.

As soon as the game started, two gentlemen were declared to have failed the test, and the atmosphere immediately became solemn.

 Generally speaking, the passing rate of academic examinations is above 80%, and its core purpose is to screen out those gentlemen who are malicious and not enterprising.

 After all, most newcomers who come to Zion are very hardworking in at least the first two years and will try to push their limits.

The two students who are currently failing are also working hard. They have been trying to improve themselves as much as possible this year. The tasks they received in the Gentlemen's Hall were of average difficulty and met the standard. They have also experienced life and death moments.

 But they failed the principal's test.

At this time, a rather gentle voice came from under the crying mask. This voice alone could soothe the hearts of the two of them.

“Unfortunately, you have not been able to face your weakest side at the mental level, and I have not been able to glimpse your potential.

 At present, the college's funds are tight and resources are limited, so your training will be terminated early.

You can choose to stay in school at your own expense, or you can go through the formalities of leaving school directly after the test... Of course, I personally recommend the latter. "

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into silence.

Two gentlemen who failed the test want to refute something,

　　But the crying mask released an unspeakable fear. When they looked at the mask, their souls began to tremble... The rebuttal words were tightly strangled in their throats, and they could not even breathe.

With a purple complexion, he quickly returned to the seats on both sides, and then slowly recovered.

Yi Chen, who was sitting in the last row, also didn't understand the situation in front of him. He thought to himself: "Is this principal... so strict?" It seems that there is a reason why Little Grape is hiding. 』

At this moment, I felt a stabbing sensation in my waist and abdomen.

Yichen looked down and saw that a broken finger was gently poking him and crawling upwards along the clothes.

 The source of the severed finger is Zed.

Zed himself was staring ahead, pretending that nothing happened.

The severed finger crawled to Yi Chen's ear hole like an earthworm until it was attached to the eardrum, and communicated privately with Yi Chen:

　　　‘Don’t be fooled by this old woman’s appearance! She is quite dangerous, and because of her presence, there is basically no ungentlemanly behavior within the academy.

Even if Zion’s senior officials want to interfere with the authority of the hospital, they must obtain her consent.

　　When she led a group of surgeons to hunt me down, she almost poured out my brains to clean her mask.

Be sure to pay attention to etiquette when it is your turn later. Since you came in while sleeping, the principal will definitely keep this in mind and will most likely target you specifically.

And because of my personal reasons, she may also transfer her hatred towards me to you. 』

Hearing Zed's words, Yi Chen's face scrunched up, but he finally swallowed the words back into his body.

 It doesn’t matter to Yi Chen, as long as he tries his best to test. If you are really targeted and fail to pass, you will have to pay for school at your own expense.

  Don't think too much about anything and continue to look at other students' tests.

 As students come forward one after another, the passing rate still does not exceed 50%.

Moreover, Yi Chen’s name has not been called for a long time, and it seems that he will be left for last.

 “Edmund, Juliana, Dagbert.”

The familiar three-person team was called up by the principal at the same time, and Yi Chen was also sweating.

The principal seemed to see something different from the three of them, and commented softly:

“Hmm~ There are not many impurities in your eyes, and your file information is also good. You are very hard-working and quite talented... Let me see your performance.”

Touching their foreheads, the three of them floated up.

Edmund and Dagbert’s weaknesses are both [Intelligence], while Juliana’s weakness is [Sense].

　Time passes minute by minute,

Yi Chen silently counted the time in his heart, hoping that one of them would wake up early.

 “57, 58, 59!”

 When counting to this second,

 Floating several meters in the air, Juliana woke up and suddenly fell down.

Since she was still in the recovery period and could only do simple walking, such a fall might cause secondary injuries... Yi Chen instinctively stepped out of the desk, hoping to catch her in the air.

 This behavior was however Zed grabbed his wrist and forcibly stopped him.

Buzz!

 Juliana did not fall, but hovered in the air one second before landing and floated towards the principal's position.

 “You are the first student who can wake up in one minute!

It seems that you took the opportunity of physical damage to conduct a very effective 'spiritual tempering', very good! This is your reward. "

 The black wings behind the principal trembled slightly, and a single feather fell down.

 Slowly floated on Juliana's thighs, and then turned into starry night spots and soaked in it.

“Your recovery requires perseverance and opportunity, and I have given you the “opportunity”…the rest of the recovery work depends on your own perseverance. "

The principal even touched her head with great relief.

After a while, Edmund and Dagbert also passed the test and fell normally.

When the three of them returned to their respective seats, they also glanced at Yi Chen, and Edmund secretly made an OK gesture.

 Testing continues.

 The number of testers is 40. According to the test mode of three people in groups, there is just one left.

 “William Behrens.”

When Yi Chen's name was read out, the crying mask also looked over at the same time. The principal watched Yi Chen walk from the last row to the podium.

 Without any questions, his finger suddenly poked Yi Chen's forehead!

Buzz!

This feeling of withdrawal from consciousness is all too familiar to Yi Chen, and he pinpoints the feeling and settles down steadily.

 When you open your eyes again,

What comes into view is the cloister of an art gallery. Various gloomy paintings of different styles are hung at equal intervals on the walls, and white candles of different heights are placed in the corners.

 It is pouring rain outside the window,

Cracking ~ The raindrops hit the window heavily, and the sound sounded weird, and even hit a slight crack.

Snapped! Suddenly the thunder and lightning flashed outside the window, bringing instant brightness.

 Multiple ghost figures were directly illuminated outside the window. They were using their fingers to tap the glass window regularly in conjunction with the impact of raindrops.
