Chapter 136 Volcano
The red sky hangs in the horizon like an upside-down dome, and the flames reflected on the ground seemed to be burning.
Mountains stand tall, and the hot walls appear as iron-like colors. The light is refracted at extremely high temperatures, and it looks like the space is being distorted. The entire mountain range seems to be shaking and twisting through the scorching air, and a suffocating wave of heat fills every inch of space.
This is a "volcano", the opening is located in the dimensional dimension of Yudu, and it is also the examination venue selected by this National High School Students League.
The rules of the exam themselves are not much different from previous sessions. They are nothing more than going deep into the dimension, fighting with various dimensional monsters living in it, defeating the enemy and seizing source energy stones to calculate points.
The biggest difference from previous competition systems is that the cities and dimensions selected for the competition are different every year. Even if both sides of the competition are selected, the competition area selected by the competition circle and the number of dimensional monsters placed there are also different.
Therefore, it is basically zero possibility to use small tricks to get the inside story of the competition in such a large event in advance. To quote the jokes from the relevant department ministers of the National Awakeners Association, if you really have the ability to think of ways to cheat in the National League, then you don’t need to compete or take the exam. The National Security Agency welcomes you.
The rules themselves are similar to the preliminary round of the provincial selection competition.
The main creatures in this volcanic dimension are species called "Flame Warriors". They are human-like in shape, wearing a flaming armor, and holding a substantial sword blade transformed from high-temperature flames in their hands.
It is said that the Fire Warrior is the lowest level creature you can see in this dimension, and it is also the only creature that does not have any ratings. Except for the Fire Warrior, all other species you can encounter here start at the ghost level.
Although the ghost level in the volcano is not yet at the level of three steps, one stairs, five steps and one whistle, it is not very valuable compared to the level of the wastelands and forests. All participants must be prepared to encounter ghost-level creatures and cannot be lucky.
The source energy stone of a flame warrior will be converted into 500 points when the final calculation is made, while a ghost-level creature - the same as the preliminary round standard, is also 1,500 points.
Then this competition also has special mission props, which are also packed in a silver suitcase (Su Yao guessed that it might be an official unified equipment). The prop points are also 3,000 points, but unlike before, the competition party clearly explained that there were more than one mission props this time.
Among all these changes in the selection process within the province, the biggest and most worthy of everyone's attention is that the strongest dimensional monster in the competition area and even the entire "volcanic dimension" has been explored.
That is a dimensional monster with a rank of "demon", and its source energy stone is worth 10,000 points.
Of course, the premise is that you have the chance to get it.
The national league is different from the previous provincial selections. In comparison, the selections in each province are simply a small-scale play.
All the players selected on this field are geniuses among geniuses and are of the top batch of combat power, so the arena arranged by the competition party is also at a higher level.
Even so, choosing the "volcanic dimension" as the competition venue this year has actually been controversial. A large number of experts believe that even for geniuses, this venue is a little too difficult.
Not to mention, it is exaggerated to take a dimensional creature with a level of "demon" as the trial content of young people. Such actions are unprecedented in previous league games. Under the usual tradition, demon-level creatures should not be the category that a group of high school awakeners should deal with.
But there are also objections that tradition should be constantly broken. The fact is that the strength of human awakened people is constantly improving overall, and the awakened students appearing on the field of the National League are also stronger than each other.
So in their opinion, the difficulty of the assessment of these young people should continue to increase. Perhaps it is time to make a breakthrough now.
The opinions of this faction were obviously adopted in the end, so this year's difficult competition was a result.
The competition officially started at 8:30 in the morning.
By ten o'clock, it has been an hour and a half, and many teams have already experienced the excellence of this special arena this year.
Teams from many provinces have successively fought with the Fire Warriors, and those with poor luck may even have encountered ghost-level creatures.
The strength of the participating teams is actually uneven. Teams in some provinces are popular for winning the championship and may be outrageously strong, but some teams suffered heavy damage when they encountered the first team of Fire Warriors.
In fact, the strength of Su Yao and three other players this year is already quite upstream among all teams.
During the selection stage, many experts from Jingchu felt that this year, with Hou Xingyun leading the team to compete in the National League, they might be able to achieve good results that have not been seen in previous sessions.
The fact is that Hou Xingyun only won the third place in the province. Su Yao and Jiang Xiaoyue both proved that they were better than him with their record.
A team of three people with such strength has also received a lot of attention nationwide before the game and is currently considered a champion potential stock.
And from the hour and a half since entering the volcano, this team has not encountered a monster so far.
In fact, in addition to facing the crisis of dimensional monsters at any time and trying to solve survival problems, another problem that students have to face in this dimension is heat.
This ghost place is really surprisingly hot. Everyone couldn't help thinking this after just after coming in.
The sweat glands secrete sweat like they are out of control. Su Yao could feel the sweat-soaked clothes sticking to his back, and his trousers were also pressed against his thighs.
In fact, if Jiang Xiaoyue's ability is used, it will be easy to cool down the team, but there is no need.
Jiang Xiaoyue's ability is to put it bluntly. Condensation into ice is achieved through the awakening skills learned and mastered by acquired learning. If she wants to continuously release the cold air, she must constantly consume source energy to convert. If she consumes excessively in such meaningless places, it will be embarrassing if she does not have enough blue bars when she encounters an enemy.
The awakened person's physique is extraordinary, and this temperature is still within acceptable range.
At about ten o'clock, the three of them climbed over the slope and came to an open space. They paused for a moment to prepare for the investigation.
The scorching flames fell among the three of them at this moment.
The Nebula jumped away as soon as possible. Jiang Xiaoyue also promptly summoned the water to resist the heat wave. Su Yao rolled around and avoided it. When he got up, his whole body was hidden in the red and black armor, and the parts at the joints were still assembled and fitted.
Four flame warriors appeared from four different directions at the same time. As the information said, they were holding flame warriors, wearing armor, and dazzling firelights were lingering around them.
