Chapter 42: Arrangements
Just when Luo Jun was mentioning three teammates, the battle between the candidates and the prisoners had already begun in the upper area.
A candidate with a purple wristband, with a strong body-protecting aura rising from his body, was fighting a strong prisoner with a collar around his neck.
Both of them are good at melee combat. They fought hard and punched hard. The examinee was so hearty that he didn't notice at all that there was a prisoner with a cold temperament hidden in the jungle not far away.
This prisoner focused on the battlefield, broke off a branch in his hand, and wrapped it with vitality.
Under his exquisite control, the vitality attached to the branches became sharp, like an armor-piercing arrow.
The man aimed his "armor-piercing arrow" at the two men who were fighting fiercely. The strong prisoner who was fighting seemed to have received some signal. He suddenly showed a flaw and his figure flashed. The examinee seized the opportunity to pursue him and adjusted his position. But he showed his back to the cold prisoner.
The cold prisoner took action decisively, and the branches shot out and hit the candidates!
At this moment, a golden light swept across and knocked the branch to the ground.
The candidate noticed that there was a sneak attack and immediately got out of the battle and was on full alert.
“Thank you for your help!” the candidate turned his head and shouted behind him. After a while, a girl wearing jeans walked out of the bushes.
It is Ling Xin.
"You're welcome, I'm just passing by and can help." After saying that, Ling Xin was about to pass the candidates with purple wristbands and continue walking up the mountain.
As soon as he finished speaking, five prisoners sprang out from the surrounding trees. The number plates on their chests were all four points, and six people surrounded the two people.
“Six people?” The candidate with the purple wristband suddenly became nervous: “You guys, the prisoners, are actually united together?”
"Isn't this normal?" The cold man chuckled: "We were released into the mountains at midnight last night, several hours ahead of you in preparation. It's only your fault that you have no brains and dared to come to the upper level alone. !”
“This girl is pretty.” Another short and fat prisoner licked his tongue.
“Don’t think too hard!” A tall, middle-aged prisoner snorted coldly: “Although the college tells us that we can kill people, don’t forget what’s around your neck.”
“If you do unnecessary things, there’s no guarantee that those guys won’t fall out!”
"I know." The short, fat prisoner swallowed and looked at Ling Xin greedily.
"Two children." The cold prisoner stepped forward and seemed to be the leader of the group: "Our goal is just to reduce the sentence. We have no grievances and no grudges. There is no need to fight to the death. As long as you can take the initiative to remove the wristbands Come down and I can let you leave safely."
He was telling the truth, including the sneak attack just now, and he did not target the vital points.
Although these students signed life-and-death certificates, rational prisoners did not want to really go on a killing spree, especially in the upper-level area.
Candidates with blue and purple wristbands must have good training conditions, and most likely have some background. If lives are at risk, the family masters behind them will not cause trouble to the academy, but they may not spare these prisoners who take action. This was an opportunity to reduce their sentences, and the prisoners didn't want to cause trouble.
But obviously, the candidates did not appreciate their "good intentions".
“Hmph, let me surrender, there is no way!” The boy with the purple wristband was resolute and unyielding, with a protective aura rising from his body, “I’m sorry, girl, it’s me who has caused trouble for you.”
“Stinky and hard!” The cold man snorted coldly and looked at Ling Xin.
“Little sister, you look like a smart person.”
Ling Xin glanced at a few people, raised her hands to roll up the wide sleeves of her denim jacket, revealing a golden wristband: "You want this?"
“Gold wristband?” Several prisoners were shocked. The difficulty of cultivating the Ningxin state is far more difficult than consolidating the foundation and cultivating the Yuan. To break through the Ningxin state requires not only talent, hard work, and luck, but also opportunity, inspiration, and sufficient preparation.
They also know a lot of masters who can reach this level, but this is the first time they meet one at this age.
"So what about Ning Xinjing!" The stocky man who fought with Purple Wristband before snorted: "Ning Xinjing at this age must be a quick product, her foundation is not strong, and her abilities may not be mastered. Can't we defeat her together?"
After the others were surprised, they also showed disdain on their faces and looked eager to try. Obviously, they didn't take this yellow-haired girl seriously.
"Wait!" The cold man stopped them with a wave of his hand, and smiled at Ling Xin: "I am too blind to see the mountain. Please continue up the mountain, your real opponent is there."
This cold man seemed to have a high prestige. Others were slightly startled when they heard his words, but they still carried them out.
Ling Xin did not continue walking, but looked back at the purple wristband.
“You’d better hand over the wristband, they won’t give you a hard time.”
“What?” Zi Wristband was stunned: “What do you mean?”
"This is your exam, I won't help." Ling Xin said calmly: "You can't handle six of them by yourself. Rather than risking injury or even death, it's better to admit defeat."
“Are you asking me to give up just like that?” Zi Wristband looked dissatisfied. "I came all the way from Shuncheng to take the exam, not just to give up!"
"The exam has been over since you were surrounded." Ling Xin glanced at the boy: "Explorers are not just about the level of the realm, but more importantly, the ability to deal with problems. You don't have enough strength, and you don't have a cool head. You are destined to fail this exam.”
After saying that, Ling Xin walked towards the mountain. When passing by the cold man, he said softly:
“He has a very strong spirit, and he comes from Shuncheng.”
The cold man nodded: "Understood, I have a sense of discretion."
After saying that, Ling Xin continued walking up the mountain, leaving behind only the screams of the candidates with purple wristbands being beaten.
The six people quickly knocked down the boy and took away the wristband. The stocky man asked: "Boss, why did you let that woman go so easily?"
The cold man snorted coldly: "Don't you want to ask for information? In this exam, Ningdong University only has two Ning Xinjing candidates. One is the third son of the Lei family in Pei'an City. Ning Xinjing made a breakthrough at the beginning of the year. One is the Golden Blade Witch!"
"Golden Blade Witch?" This title made several prisoners take a breath, "She is so young?"
The cold man shook his head: "I didn't believe it just now. According to the news, it must have been four or five years since she broke through the Ningxin state. When I heard that she came to take the exam, I thought she was a woman in her late thirties. I didn't expect this. young."
"Four or five years?" The pudgy man swallowed: "Then when she made her breakthrough, she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, a junior high school student? What kind of talent is this?"
“It’s not just talent!” The tall middle-aged prisoner gritted his teeth and said, “There must be a huge force behind it.”
"So you can't afford to offend him!" The cold man shrugged his shoulders and kicked the unconscious purple wristband on the ground: "This kid is quite good. We have to be more careful when hunting. It's best not to kill anyone."
As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of the top of the mountain: "Those people on the top of the mountain, please wish yourselves good luck..."
