Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 49: Tang Zixie, the Crow
"Okay, okay, okay, you three go away and cool off. Master, don't bother with them. These three kids are nice, but a little stubborn." Tang Xiaotang waved at Wang Zhumo and the other two, and then chatted with Tang Zheng and the others about their experiences of the past few days.
The group of people chatted for a while and decided that with Tang Zheng and his four companions plus the few people brought by Xiaotang, the group's combat power instantly increased to the level of eight people and one pet. They were not a group like Li Zhi's with limited trust in each other, but a team with mutual trust and good cooperation.
With such a team, Tang Zheng no longer kept a low profile. He and the invisible Zixie directly conducted reconnaissance and began to look for other warriors head-on.
If gods stand in the way, kill gods; if Buddhas stand in the way, kill Buddhas.
They fought with a crushing style all the way, striving to get as many nameplates as possible within the last day of the assessment.
Just like that, under the admiring gazes of the newly joined Wang Zhumo and his companions, the number of nameplates on Tang Zheng and his companions' waists increased rapidly, and the third round of the assessment was slowly drawing to a close...
Before I knew it, there was only half a day left.
Almost all the candidates who are still left in the jungle are people with big appetites!
Because the last half day is the most dangerous, even if you have ten nameplates in your hands, you can't ask the instructor to take you out - the workload is too heavy and too concentrated, and you can't handle it.
Therefore, the candidates who are still left now need to rely on their own strength to gather at the designated location before the exam!
As long as they hold on to the nameplates they have received in the past few days and wait for the examiners to come in and calculate the scores, this practical assessment will be successfully completed.
"A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. In the final moments, everyone must be careful and don't capsize in the gutter. All right, let's go to the assembly point!" After finishing the last battle of nine against four and adding seven more nameplates, Tang Zheng looked at the sky, estimated the time, and led the team to the final assessment location.
After so many days of assessment, more than half of the candidates have left, either voluntarily or involuntarily.
However, we have just arrived at the gathering place, and there still seem to be quite a few people waiting to go out together!
Li Zhi... Jiang Wuyan...
Familiar figures appeared in front of Tang Zheng.
After a while, teams of twenty or thirty people arrived at the gathering place.
About two or three hundred people, with even more nameplates hanging on them, stood silently in the rain. Different teams rarely spoke to each other. Even if familiar people saw them, they would only exchange a few brief sentences.
Tang Zixie looked at the silence and said with a smile: "I suddenly had an idea..."
"Oh? What did you say?" A group of people were looking at him. The assessment was about to end. What else did he think?
"Xiaotang, if you make a star explosion in the crowd at this moment...what do you think the effect will be?" Tang Zi said wickedly.
"Then we will definitely get first place!" Xiaotang opened his eyes wide.
The nameplates hanging on each person tinkled as the rain washed over them, and it really sounded very tempting.
Tang Zheng looked Tang Zixie up and down: "Are you really my biological brother?"
Who would suddenly have the idea of letting their sister carry out a suicide attack?
Although Xiaotang's astrological talent is very special and the Phoenix Blood Thorn makes her almost immortal, this is not how Tang Zixie would use it!
Of course Tang Zixie was just joking and he wouldn't really let Xiaotang do that.
The rain is getting heavier...
The instructor hasn't shown up yet.
The time for the assessment to end was almost up, but the rain showed no sign of stopping, making the sky particularly dark. Not long after, a gray mist rose up in the rainforest.
"Hmm? It's foggy." Many candidates noticed that the weather was getting worse.
Faced with an increasingly harsh environment, each team is very alert.
After several days of joint efforts, the team members who are still there, no matter how many nameplates they have obtained, have already established a basic tacit understanding, and they will immediately respond to changes in the environment.
On the contrary, Tang Zheng had no intention of preparing for war at all.
When all the teams were getting nervous, he stuck out his tongue and licked the rising mist...
"Water...fog..." Tang Zheng licked his lips, "The water is salty, but the fog is sweet?"
"Master, what are you talking about?" Tang Xiaotang asked curiously.
Tang Zheng immediately covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, thinking, could it be that Tang Zixie's bad words really came true?
Is there really anyone who jumps big?
Before he could think clearly and remind Xiaotang and the others that there might be something wrong with the water mist, he saw a warrior fall down not far away.
The warrior's companion quickly supported him: "Ji Ke, what's wrong with you, Ji Ke?"
However, before he could finish his words, his body went limp and he fell to the ground .
"What's going on? What's going on?"
After several people fell down in succession, all the teams began to panic.
But the panic didn't help at all, as the warriors fell into the mist like dumplings.
Beside Tang Zheng, Tang Zixie and Tang Xuan fell down one after another, followed by Tang Xiaotang.
When Meng Fenghua saw others fall down, she also covered her mouth and nose, but it was too late. She looked to the side and saw Xiao Lingdang had also fainted on the ground. She only grabbed the Xuannv sword intent and put it on Xiao Lingdang's body, and then her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
After a while, the already quiet gathering point became even quieter.
The ground was littered with unconscious examinees and various numbered nameplates...
In the empty assembly point, Tang Zheng was the only one standing in the rain, looking particularly conspicuous.
He lowered his hand that was covering his mouth and nose, and used his star power to protect his mouth and nose instead. He laughed softly and said, "Not bad, there is such a talent? Very interesting."
Just as he finished speaking, a figure like a wandering soul flashed in front of him, and a female voice came into Tang Zheng's ears: "You are not bad. People who get full marks in the first and second tests are really amazing!"
The girl appeared in front of Tang Zheng while she was talking.
"I know, your name is Tang Zheng." She said with a smile, "My name is Cheng Wu Niang."
"Are you sure it's not Wu Niang?" Tang Zheng smiled, clenching the dagger in his hand.
Cheng Wuniang looks very ordinary, and her name is the most common style in Xingyao Continent, a surname, a ranking, and a gender. Especially in a place like the border town, at least one out of three people will have a name like "Wu Dalang" or "Sun Erniang".
Her results in the first and second tests were not outstanding.
At least, unlike Tang Zheng, Jiang Wuyan and others, every candidate this year knows them.
"The dragon is hiding in the abyss..." Tang Zheng became even more certain that no one should be looked down upon in Xingyao Continent, even an inconspicuous candidate like Cheng Wuniang, who defeated two or three hundred of them at the last moment of the test!
Cheng Wuniang approached step by step.
Although Tang Zheng found it interesting, he did not take it lightly at all.
Her figure could not be seen clearly in the rain. Sometimes she looked like a woman in a long skirt, and sometimes she seemed to merge into the heavy rain.
"If you have such ability, you could have used it a long time ago and got out a long time ago, right?" Tang Zheng asked.
"That's what I said." Cheng Wuniang smiled and said, "But the rain before wasn't heavy enough... and my talent takes a long time to recover... and after I use it for the first time, someone will definitely reveal my talent after fighting with me, and it will be difficult for others to use it. On the contrary, this last moment, a single attack, is the best opportunity."
Tang Zheng nodded, completely agreeing with her idea.
If it were him, he would probably make the same choice. It may seem risky, but it is actually the safest!
"You are very patient." Tang Zheng has been secretly accumulating star power.
"It's just the right time and place." Cheng Wu Niang was very modest, "If it hadn't rained, I might have been eliminated long ago."
"Then...what are we going to do now? Let's discuss how to divide the things on this land?" Tang Zheng said with a smile.
"Okay, you come up with a plan and I'll listen to you." Cheng Wu Niang also smiled.
As soon as he finished saying the word "了", Tang Zheng felt a wave of star power contracting around him. Many drops of rain on his side gathered into several water swords, attacking him from seven different directions!
Of course, at the same time, Tang Zheng had already launched the opening move that he had been accumulating strength for a long time.
Neither of them was prepared to discuss anything with the other!
As soon as Tang Zheng attacked, he did not look at his attack again. Instead, he swung his folding fan and used the star power under his feet to spin. There were four "pa pa pa" sounds, and four water swords gradually hit the fan and turned into water droplets again.
There were seven water swords. Tang Zheng smashed four of them with his fan and immediately jumped up to avoid two more. However, the speed of the water swords was so fast that although he could distinguish the sound of the last sword from the sound of the dripping rain, the water sword still quickly passed by his waist and almost broke the rope on which he hung his nameplate.
Of course, Tang Zheng doesn’t have to care about the nameplate at this moment.
As long as Cheng Wuniang is dealt with, all the nameplates on the ground will be his...
Tang Zheng's movement caused the water sword to deviate slightly, and with a "hiss" it cut through his clothes, leaving a bloody mark on his waist.
Tang Zheng raised his head again, just in time to see his charging and pressing move, which directly hit Cheng Wuniang's lower abdomen...
"Fuck! No one will be killed, right?" Tang Zheng didn't want to be disqualified at the last moment.
However, Cheng Wuniang's body floated in the rain and mist for a moment. After a flash of blood, her body seemed to be shattered by Tang Zheng's opening move, and turned into raindrops...
But after a while, the raindrops gathered together again and turned into her body!
Tang Zheng took another look and saw that there was no wound on her lower abdomen. It had completely recovered!
"Tsk, interesting." Tang Zheng licked his lips, "It's really hard to beat him."
