Chapter 99: The Trial is Over!
Calculating the time, there's less than an hour left until the end of the one-month trial period. Qin Wushuang leaned against a large tree, looking relaxed and carefree, his mind already at ease. He had finished the trial content ahead of schedule and was waiting for it to officially end.
After a month of hard work, Qin Wushuang's harvest was quite rich.
Crossed a total of seven zones, plus this zone, which is equivalent to participating in the jade medal competition of eight trial zones.
The first seven zones were all full marks, adding up to eighty points. In this last trial zone, although there was only two or three days of time, Qin Wushuang still obtained six jade cards. One twenty-point card, two five-point cards, and three two-point cards, totaling thirty-six points.
Adding up the scores from the first seven zones, it just so happens that they add up to exactly 600 points.
"Heh heh, not too much or too little, 600 points. This score is quite auspicious. But I wonder, how are the other martial disciples doing? I reckon that those who can get 300 points are few and far between, let alone 600."
Qin Wusuo still had this bit of confidence. He participated in this trial, and originally wasn't aiming for the content of the trial itself. Rather, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to come into contact with even higher-level existences.
As for the reward of the first trial, it was an unexpected surprise. Considering that the reward was indeed generous, Qin Wushuang naturally wouldn't let it fall into someone else's hands!
With three consecutive sharp whistles, the fifty trial grounds of the Tianku Mountains were filled with sound.
The trial is over.
According to the rules, during the trial explanation, there must be no attacks or snatching between the martial arts children, and violators will be disqualified.
This way, it naturally restrained the martial arts schools from taking advantage of each other and launching surprise attacks on other schools during the closing ceremony.
The end does not mean all bees leave.
The first step is for the Kuai District's trial martial arts school to conduct this trial in order to facilitate the statistics of the results.
Qin Wushuang jumped down from the tree and walked straight out of this trial area, under the leadership of the relevant personnel, back to the initial third trial area.
At this time, most of the martial arts students had already gathered at the edge of the trial area.
As soon as Qin Wushuang walked in from the outer circle, a low sigh was heard, filled with envy and admiration. After all, most of the martial arts children who stayed here did not even have the qualifications to cross the region.
Being able to cross regions means having the strength to take on a bigger role, and the results will definitely be better than others.
Winning also deserves a sigh of relief.
Qin Wusuo's first glance fell on No. 19 standing in the corner, who was also Tong Yao's younger brother.
The two exchanged a silent glance, neither of them speaking. Qin Wushuang was delighted for him, and with a sweep of his gaze, he entered the trial area where there were fifty martial children. After one month, in this third trial area, including those who were injured and missing arms or legs, there were less than thirty people left.
The competition is incredibly fierce.
"Everyone listen up! Each trial area, in order of numbering, one by one, no rushing, no disorder. After hearing the call, if there is no response after three shouts, the next number will be called, and so on. First, Number One Wudong, come out!"
This procedure, although cumbersome, is to protect the achievements and ** of each martial arts child, ensuring that grudges in the trial area do not carry over into real life.
They took off their trial robes and removed their masks. Everyone returned to their true appearance. Everything in the trial area disappeared into thin air.
Finally, when announcing the results, neither the trial number nor the specific jade plate will be announced. Wisdom announces the scores corresponding to each martial arts child.
Qin Wushuang was number six, the first five people in front of him had two who were already dead. Therefore, it quickly came to his turn. Fortunately, the messenger responsible for registering Qin Wushuang saw that he kept taking out jade cards and was shocked with his eyes wide open, almost forgetting to count.
She knew Qin Wushuang was in charge of multiple districts, but she didn't expect him to be in charge of so many districts. After all, he was only responsible for the third trial district and temporarily didn't know about the situation in other trial districts.
"It seems that the personal champion will not be able to escape from my responsibility in this trial zone." The messenger was also overjoyed and deeply honored, "As the person in charge of the third trial zone, I think I can offer you congratulations in advance."
Qin Wushuang smiled slightly: "Thank you, everything has been checked and is correct, right?"
"No problem, 600 points, my god, this score is too terrifying!" The envoy clicked his tongue and said, "Take off your trial robe, remove your mask, and walk out along the passage to the open space outside. Wait until all the martial children have finished checking and verifying their numbers, then the Great Honored One has something to say."
Qin Wushuang didn't want to make a fuss either, went through all the procedures, took the acceptance certificate and left from the passageway.
Arrived at the gathering place, currently there are still not many people coming out of the trial area. After staying for a while, more and more people came.
He still stood in the gathering area that originally belonged to Akagi's castle, and his heart didn't have much turmoil. He just thought to himself: "I wonder how well Takashi and Yun's crazy girl did?"
Because they came together all the way and were also old friends from Jiangluo County, if they could achieve good results, Qin Wushuang would naturally be happy for them.
At this moment, Qin Wushuang had already seen Da Xiyang walking over from the opposite side. From his expression, however, it was impossible to discern any joy or loss.
When he saw Qin Wushuang, Da Xiyang walked over and asked, "How's the result?"
"How about you?"
"Haha, I'm doing alright too. But if my 'alright' could reach one-third of your 'not bad', I'd be over the moon." Da Xiyang replied with a rare display of humor.
"Then I thought of something and asked: 'You should have crossed districts, right?'"
"Hmm, you've crossed over. Have you?"
Daxi Yang let out a regretful sigh: "I didn't accumulate enough points until the second to last day, considering the limited time, I sought stability and did not apply for cross-regional application again."
This is a correct choice, if there are only two days left, even across regions, it's hard to do anything, after all, without overwhelming strength, going to a new region, adapting to the map, and getting familiar with the new map will take at least two days.
It is better to hold on to what you have than to risk losing it all by taking unnecessary chances.
"Has Yún Jiějiě not come out yet?" Dá Xīyáng looked around in all directions, the people around gradually increasing.
The Wudong from Nanyun State also gathered together, and after a moment, Ximen Xing walked out of the trial passage as well.
Although Ximen Xing tried his best to restrain his emotions, there was still a hint of pride in his eyes that he had never shown before.
"Peerless brother, you're out early. How's the result?" Ximen Xing came over, and naturally, the martial arts children of Nanyun Prefecture swarmed over.
"It's passable, won't drag down our Nan Yun province's retreat." Qin Wushuang didn't want to be too high-profile, the results aren't out yet, no need to deliberately show off: when the results are out, there's also no need for him to show off, the results can explain everything.
"Haha, that's what you said, Unparalleled Brother. If you're lagging behind, then Nanyun Province won't have any legs left." Ximen Xing joked with a smile.
"Xīng shǎo, kàn nǐ xīn qíng bù cuò, yídìng shì kuà qū chéng gōng le ba?"
Translation: "You look happy, I'm sure you've succeeded in crossing the region!"
"Hmm, this time it was relatively smooth, I crossed the district in about half a month. Unfortunately, I didn't collect enough for the second 80 points. If I could cross another district, that would be great." Ximen Xing said with some regret.
Several state capital martial artists who were familiar with Sima Xiang asked him about his specific score, and Sima Xiang could only say: "Thanks to the love of all brothers, my total score this time is 152 points."
"Wow, Star, you got it! Almost intentionally crossed the zone for the second time!"
"Waaaah, I'm only 32 points behind, so frustrating..."
"Heh heh, I actually have over 50 points, but I don't know if I can make it past the cut-off line or not."
Before, Wu Tong had always envied Xi Men Xing's achievements. Just then, Qin Wu Xuan caught sight of Yun Qingyan walking out of the corridor alone, his expression completely different from his usual optimism, with a lost and dejected look on his face.
Qin Wushuang and Da Xiyang exchanged a glance, thinking that Yun Qingyan's results must be average.
"Miss Yun, what's going on here?" Qin Wushuang didn't speak up, but a martial youth from another county asked first.
Her eyes turned red with tears and she burst into loud sobs.
Just as everyone was staring at each other in dismay, Yun Qingyan suddenly wiped her eyes and stopped crying: "It's okay, I'm fine. It's not like it's the end of the world just because my grades are bad. As long as I'm alive, I haven't lost."
"Right, being alive is a win. I heard that this trial has some cruel trial zones, with a 40% mortality rate!"
"My god, this is too tragic! In our district, I counted when I came out, and there were only five or six people missing. So it's still relatively peaceful."
"You two, how's your performance? I've disgraced our Luojiang County." Yun Qingyan held the acceptance certificate in her hand and tore it to shreds. "To hell with this acceptance certificate! In just one month, I got a jade medal that's only worth two points. If I weren't afraid of being scolded by my superiors when I return, I would have applied to leave early several times."
Two people...
This is indeed a rather embarrassing achievement, no wonder Yun Qingyan, such a nervous and irritable person, would feel so depressed.
Just as the atmosphere here was becoming awkward, a group of martial arts students suddenly burst into cheers and applause.
"It's coming out!"
When he heard the voice of "Chong Shao", Ximen Xingdou couldn't help but look up. If he wasn't mistaken, this "Chong Shao" in everyone's mouth should be the young master of Akagi Castle, and also the youngest son of the current Akagi King! It is said that from a young age, he was exceptionally talented, far surpassing his peers among the martial arts children of this age group. Before the trial, he was the hot favorite to win the championship in this trial.
Ximen Xing had long been regarded as a potential competitor by the young prince, and now seeing him surrounded by a group of martial arts children, he was not pleased. However, he thought: "I wonder how this young prince did this time?"
The young king has resumed his true appearance, wearing a purple gold crown and looking very majestic. The two martial arts boys who came to greet him were like stars surrounding the moon, adding to the atmosphere.
"Chong Shao, this time's results should be good, right?" A martial youth who came up to him asked with a flattering tone.
A martial youth beside Little King Wang shouted, "Nonsense! This time, Chong Shao has completed two cross-regional matches and scored over 200 points. The individual champion is none other than Chong Shao!"
"Over two hundred!?"
"Wow, too awesome! Champion, definitely won't fall behind. Haha. Although my personal score is average, but our Akagi team being able to take first place among the four teams is also a glorious thing!"
Ximen Xing's good mood suddenly turned gloomy. He had still held onto a bit of extravagant hope, wanting to contend for first place. Although he also knew the chances were slim, hearing about someone else's excellent results was still a heavy blow.
His gaze involuntarily turned to Qin Wushuang, but saw Qin Wushuang's face calm and smiling. Ximen Xing's heart suddenly moved, based on past experience, Qin Wushuang maintained such a smile, which was simply another interpretation of being full of confidence!
Could it be...
