Chapter 1138

When the Path of Kings had opened, there had been 37 teams participating in the assessment. However, this was only the end of the first round, and only 14 teams were left. If the number of people who had died in the remaining 14 teams were counted, the total number of people left was only about one-third of the original number.

Even though the elimination rate was so high, this year's participants were still the strongest in history.

Just the Sage King level attackers had appeared five times, which meant that there were at least five suspected Sage King level powerhouses.

In the past, Sage King level attackers would appear at most once or twice, and most of the time, they would not appear. In the past, when a Sage King level attacker appeared, less than 10% of the participating teams could successfully repel the attacker. However, this time, all five Sage King level attackers had been repelled, and one of them had even been killed. This was something that had never happened before.

Even so, this year's elimination rate in the first round of selection had already exceeded 60%.

"The Path of Kings is indeed not simple …" Even the Sea King sighed with emotion.

The first round of assessment was already so difficult. This made many of the teams that had passed the assessment feel a little nervous, because no one knew what they would encounter in the second round.

The Path of Kings' assessment was something that all monstrous geniuses below the Lord level could only participate once in their lifetime. Once they entered, even if they had not broken through to the Lord level, they would not be able to enter a second time.

Moreover, everyone who had entered the King's Path would have their memories of the King's Path test erased after being teleported out.

Many powerhouses had tried to help the participants recover their memories, and there was even no lack of King level super powerhouses who wanted to explore the secrets of the Path of Kings, but they had not succeeded.

Therefore, no one knew what the specific assessment of the Path of Kings was.

Of course, this situation was not completely without benefits. At the very least, no one knew what the assessment was about, which made it fairer for everyone.

Once the second round of assessment began, all the remaining participants were teleported to a dense primeval forest.

This primeval forest seemed to have been enlarged. The shortest tree was 700 to 800 meters tall, and the tallest was probably 6,000 to 7,000 meters tall. Every tree was as large as a mountain, and their branches and leaves were lush and luxuriant.

Even the vines and dead branches that could be seen were as thick as buckets.

Fortunately, the low shrubs on the ground were considered normal, and the tallest was less than two meters tall.

Just as everyone was observing their surroundings, the announcement in the sky finally sounded.

[Participants, the second round of the assessment is about to begin. I will now number everyone's teams. The first five teams that successfully defeated the Saint King level attackers are numbered 1 to 5 according to the order in which they were attacked by the Saint King. Number 6 to 14 are the teams led by Evil Shadow, Kuang Wu, and Lou Er respectively …]

"So, we are number four." Gu Ding looked at Neptune.

Neptune nodded. "I've memorized the numbers of the other teams, but I don't know what the specific content of this assessment will be."

[I call the second assessment the Hunting Ground. I personally think it will be a very interesting assessment.]

[Now, each team will choose one person to represent them. They will draw lots from the black box according to the sequence numbers I just arranged.]

"Draw lots?" Almost all the teams present were confused. They did not know what this assessment meant.

[I will explain the rules of the assessment in detail after the lots are drawn. Draw lots now!]

The Gu Ding Pirates naturally elected Gu Ding as their captain.

After a moment of silence in the sky, the announcement came again from the area where the Gu Ding Pirates were located.

[Team number four, please step forward to draw lots.]

Gu Ding took a step forward, and a black box suddenly appeared in front of him.

Gu Ding reached into the box and touched a piece of metal the size of a palm. It felt no different to the touch, and he could not tell what was engraved on it. Therefore, he took a piece out.

"What's on the lot?"

Everyone gathered around him.

However, there was only one number engraved on the piece of black metal. It was 2.

"What does this mean?" Gu Ding was stunned when he saw it.

[I will explain the rules of the assessment in detail later.]

After the announcement said that, the black box in front of Gu Ding quickly disappeared.

Gu Ding and the others knew that it was time for the following teams to draw lots.

Not long after, the lot-drawing session was over. All fourteen teams had drawn the corresponding numbers.

The announcement in the sky finally sounded again.

[The rules of the assessment are very simple. I will only say it once.]

[The token that each team has just drawn will give you 1 point.]

[The number that each team has just drawn will be your prey in this hunting ground. You will be awarded 2 points if you seize the token from the target team. You will be awarded 3 points in addition to the 1 point from your own token. You will advance directly.]

[The second way to advance is to seize another team's token. You will be awarded 1 point for each successful seizure. If you accumulate 3 points, you will advance as well.]

[The duration of this assessment is 30 days. During this period, if your token is seized, you will have 0 points and will not be eliminated. Once you have accumulated 3 points at the end of the 30-day assessment, you will advance to the next round of assessment.]

[During the assessment, each team can move freely, disperse, gather together, or work together. Several teams can also work together.]

[During the assessment, you can leave the token on anyone in your team. It must not be more than 10 centimeters away from the member's body. Otherwise, you will be eliminated immediately.]

[During this assessment, the only restriction is — no killing! Anyone who participates in the assessment, regardless of who they are, if they kill any of the participants, the entire team of the killer will be eliminated immediately. The token will also belong to the killed team. The tribe and force of the killer will permanently lose the right to enter the Path of Kings!]

[That's all. The second assessment will now officially begin!]

"So, our target is Team No. 2?" Gu Ding looked at Neptune again.

"Yes, it's that Rong Ye guy from the Wargod Palace!" Neptune nodded.

"That guy should be the Holy King trained by the Wargod Palace. To meet such an opponent in the second round …" Biggie was a little distressed.

"Gu Ding, your luck today is really …" Lilliath shook her head helplessly. Gu Ding's luck had always been good, but this time it was a little unlucky.

"The battle with the Holy King will come sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. Hunting the Holy King, we're in the dark while he's out in the open. We might not lose. "Mi Ke Ke was more optimistic.

Gu Ding did not say anything, but the fighting spirit in his body began to rise again.

"Don't forget, we're facing more than one battle. Our hunting target is Rong Ye, yes, but there's also a team that got our number and is hunting us. So, we still can't take this round lightly, "Neptune reminded.
