Chapter 1784: Trial, Captain Han (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“By the way, Han Mu, what’s your artifact refinement level?”
A refiner disciple with a level-seven refiner badge on his chest looked at Han Muye and spoke in a low voice.
Hearing his words, others looked up.
So far, among this group of people, this disciple with a level seven artifact refining level is the highest in cultivation level.
The others were all level six.
The entry-level foundation for the New Sun stage was level six.
They had already discussed it before. Whoever had the highest level would be the captain of this team.
After all, in terms of combat power, a group of level sixes wasn’t that strong.
Hearing the question of this disciple named Gao Tianjin, Han Muye took out his refiner level badge.
“Level nine!”
“Level nine!”
Everyone around was stunned.
A level nine artifact refiner!
This was an expert only found in the Blazing Sun Class and even the Sun Casting Class, right?
Among the New Sun stage, how many level nines were there?
In the beginner class, level nine was the elite among the absolute elites. It was an existence at the ruling level.
Every level nine, whether an artifact refiner or an armor puppet master, was the absolute core of the team.
“In the New Sun Class, there are only eight teams with level nine members in total, ” a young armor puppet disciple exclaimed excitedly.
With them, there would be the ninth team with a level nine powerhouse!
“Senior Brother Han, you’ll be the captain.”
“Senior Brother Han, we’ll rely on you this time.”
“Haha, I didn’t expect Senior Brother Han to be so secretive.”
This was an indescribable joy.
Originally, these people were all abandoned and not valued by their peers.
According to the rules of the trial, three disciples who would be expelled in this period would probably be selected from among them.
Initially, they had already given up.
Who would have thought that the last person to arrive was actually a level nine!
With a level nine powerhouse supporting them, their team couldn’t possibly be at the bottom!
Moreover, they still had the chance to advance and gain more opportunities.
“Good.” Han Mu Ye nodded and looked at everyone with a slight smile. “In this way, we don’t need to aim for any achievements, just smoothly pass this trial.”
These words made everyone smile.
With Han Mu Ye appointed as captain, their team could set off.
A total of 15 people, six artifact refiners, four armor masters, and six puppet masters.
The puppet masters in the front, the armor masters in the back, and the artifact refiners in the middle.
The six artifact refiners were not without combat power.
They had protective flames and their own combat puppets and armor.
However, compared to pure puppet and armor masters, the manipulation power of these artifact refiners was slightly weaker.
Han Muye and his team entered the wilderness and, guided by the trial judgment, stationed themselves on a hill.
“Your task is to guard this place for 10 days.
“During this period, on the third day, fifth day, seventh day, and ninth day, there will be waves of beast tides, with many beasts attacking.
“If you can’t hold on, you can send a distress signal.”
The trial judges were three sage-level armor puppet masters. After explaining the trial rules, they left.
Han Muye looked around and looked into the distance.
There, on each hill, there were disciples of the New Sun stage stationed. “Guarding for 10 days, I estimate that the beast tides will be stronger wave by wave.
“In the past, only three or four teams could hold on for 10 days. “But at the end, several strong teams would gather.”
Gao Tianjin had obviously done his homework and quickly spoke up.
To stand out among all the teams, they needed to show different abilities.
Without strong abilities, they wouldn’t last for 10 days.
Hearing Gao Tianjin’s words, everyone looked at Han Muye.
A level nine artifact refiner was absolutely the core figure.
At this moment, standing on the hill, they could see that on the other hills, those teams were still practicing their offensive and defensive coordination.
They were all newly formed teams. Without proper coordination, they couldn’t have enough combat power.
Although Han Muye’s team had a level-nine refiner, their combat power was probably at the bottom.
If they wanted to increase their combat power, it would be best to practice quickly.
Fortunately, among their team, there was a level nine possessing absolute control, who could allocate resources well.
Now they just hoped that their captain would have good decision-making skills.
“Is that the iron ore deposit over there?”
“And there, although it’s only limestone, it doesn’t look too hard.”
Han Muye pointed down the hill.
Essence iron ore?
Limestone?
Gao Tianjin and the others looked confused.
“Tao Guran, take all the puppet masters to gather refined iron ores.
“Zhou Mingzi, you armor masters go and collect the limestones.”
Han Muye turned to look at Gao Tianjin, then pointed around him. “With this place as the center, build a limestone city wall made of refined iron within a radius of 500 feet.
“Flatten the ground first.”
After saying that, he looked at everyone and said indifferently, “Are there any problems?”
No problem ?
There was a problem.
But at this moment, no one dared to speak first.
Three days later, there would be beast tides. Without practicing offensive and defensive tactics, what was the point of building a city wall?
However, at this moment, Han Muye was level nine and the captain. He had the final say.
“Perhaps, Senior Brother Han wants to showcase his artifact refining skills?” When Zhou Mingzi, accompanied by several armor masters, descended the hill, he whispered with a lowered voice.
It was possible.
A level nine refiner definitely had unimaginable means.
If he could build an extremely sturdy fortification, maybe it could extend their defense time.
On a hill not far away, some people saw them mining iron ore and carrying limestones.
“Indeed, they are the last ones to arrive, afraid to even confront the beasts directly,” the speaker sneered.
Others chuckled lightly.
“Hasn’t anyone thought of building fortifications before? Many people have done it in the past, so what do you think happened?” A young man with a level seven armor master badge on his chest looked around.
Curiosity appeared on everyone’s faces.
The young man pointed to the top of his head and said softly, “This is a trial, it’s time to showcase our skills.”
“A few times, someone built fortifications and ended up being surrounded by beasts, becoming the primary targets of attack.”
Primary targets of attack.
The disciples on the hill restrained their laughter and looked at the people carrying limestones and ores with vigor.
Soon, they would experience what it meant to be a primary target of attack.
Piles of limestones were stacked, followed by piles of iron ore.
With the help of Gao Tianjin and and others, the iron ore was quickly refined into long iron spears.
The spears were nailed to the hillside, turning the hill into a spiked iron fortress.
The limestones were piled into sections of the city wall, then cast with iron slag from the refined iron.
Without rest, within two days, a formidable defensive structure appeared on the hill.
“Don’t underestimate the enthusiasm of these guys,” someone said from a distant hill.
Such fortifications might really withstand the first wave of beast tides. Hundreds of miles away, dozens of robed figures stood in a hall.
“Who is responsible for Hill No. 14?
“What is this team of trial disciples doing?”
An old man with white hair snorted coldly, showing dissatisfaction on his face.
The other judges also smiled. “Don’t they know this is against the rules?”
“Same old rules. Let’s charge first.”
The others chuckled.
In the past, when disciples tried to take advantage of the situation, didn’t it result in heavy casualties?
Did they really think the trial was a place where they could play tricks?
As they spoke, they turned to look at the side.
There, the decision-makers arranged for this trial.
The head instructor, Liang Qiyuan.
“Hill No. 14?” Liang Qiyuan narrowed his eyes and took out the registration book in front of him. “What’s—”
“Master Han…
Liang Qiyuan smiled and waved his hand. “Forget it, let’s proceed with the trial as usual.”
Proceed with the trial as usual?
The judges looked at each other.
Head Instructor Liang Qiyuan, who had never shown favoritism, has thoughts of favoritism this time?
Who are those people over there?
“The trial begins—”
A loud shout echoed, and golden lights scattered.
Countless streams of light converged to form a golden gate.
The gate led directly to the void, attracting thousands of huge beasts.
The beasts turned into a torrent, rushing towards the trial disciples stationed on the hills.
“Here they come!” Gao Tianjin shouted. Hiding behind the fortifications, he fixed his gaze ahead.
By his side, all the disciples from the teams held their weapons tightly, summoning their armors and puppets.
The only one whose expression remained unchanged was Han Muye, standing calmly amidst the fortifications..
