Chapter 03 Objectives
Xiali quickly found a good spot on the tree to sit down, closed his eyes, and began to restore the fighting energy within his body
Therefore, it is only natural to team up with him
In an instant, Aaron's eyes widened suddenly, and his right hand discreetly tightened around the long sword at his waist
The sound of howling arose, and in just a few blinks, the crowd waiting at the entrance diminished at an astonishing speed
In the blink of an eye, countless individuals were left far behind, as one surpassed the crowd with unparalleled speed, becoming one of the first to rush into the trial jungle
There is no other way to proceed. Xia Li sighed.
Upon hearing that Aaron had set the target as the grizzly bear, Shali's steps faltered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and said with a wry smile, "What a formidable opponent indeed"
"Wait for me!" Aaron shouted loudly, his energy surging explosively beneath him. He moved as swiftly as lightning, the sound of whistling wind ringing in his ears. With a few leaps, he had caught up to Xia Li, walking side by side with him.
Upon recognizing the stride used by Aaron, Xia Li was first astonished, and then suddenly enlightened
Earth bear
The criteria for victory are quite simple. Each student participating in the trial wears a badge on their chest. As long as they seize five of these badges, it signifies passing. This is the first method
I see, if it is in childhood...
During the journey, they did encounter other students undergoing assessments, but the speed of the two was too fast, leaving those who intended to rob them far behind in the blink of an eye
Any sign of disturbance is enough to prompt him to rush to Xiaoli's side immediately
"What are you thinking about, you guy? I’m leaving you behind," Xia Li said as she woke the distracted Aaron, and she rushed out ahead, quickly leaving Aaron far behind.
"Take a break." Aaron, feeling the nearly depleted energy within him, said to Shari, "You should recover first; I will guard you from the side."
The speed of the two individuals is exceptionally fast; compared to others, it is simply like that of a rabbit and a tortoise, with no basis for comparison
The trial period for each team is five days
At first, the distance made it difficult to hear clearly, but as these individuals approached, their conversations became distinctly audible to Aaron.
This is the signal for the start of the competition
This is ... ... battle step
Suddenly, a resounding long howl pierced the sky, echoing above the jungle
I see, is it Senior Noah? That being said, that guy Aaron must have endured quite a bit, as the battle step is a skill that can only be mastered by formal knights
"Hey, Aaron, do you think it is better for us to seize the badges from other students or to take the crystal cores from the beasts?" Before entering the jungle, Shali stood beside Aaron and Tushu, stroking the longsword in her hand as she asked.
On the day of the college assessment
Regarding the concerns about the Xia Li, Aaron certainly took them into consideration, stating solemnly: "If there is truly no other way, we will have to seize the badges from other examinations"
Time slowly passed in this silent jungle, during which Aaron quietly circulated his fighting energy. Although he could not fully recover, he regained about three or four layers, giving him some strength to face any difficulties that might arise
"Monster!" Aaron answered without hesitation
Of course, Aaron replied affirmatively
The speed is not much slower than Aaron's, closely following behind him
With the speed of two individuals, one in front and the other behind, it took nearly half a day to reach the dwelling place of the bears.
So far, no one has been able to keep up with the speed of two people
I knew it, but I have heard that those monsters are all extremely fierce, and it seems that relying on just the two of us...
On the road, when Aaron, who had questioned more than once whether he had arrived too early, reached his destination, such thoughts were instantly cast aside.
Students participating in the trial can form teams, with a maximum of five members and a minimum of one member
Outside the Trial Jungle, the figures rising and falling resemble the countless stars in the night sky, as the throngs of new students nearly surrounded the eastern entrance of the jungle, making it impassable.
Sky Knight Academy, with a student body of 300,000, has as many as 100,000 new students.
Even though Aaron had always thought he arrived early, he now had to stand on a small hill far from the entrance of the jungle, gazing at the entrance.
The Trial Jungle has a total of four entrances, covering an area of approximately 10,000 square kilometers. However, even with such a vast expanse, it is insufficient to accommodate all the newcomers for the trial together
For Aaron, the only person he can team up with and trust to have his back is Shali
Thank you
Xiali's gaze suddenly flashed with a hint of brilliance, looking ahead at Aaron with a touch of surprise
In the jungle, a sudden silence enveloped the surroundings
Since they are not formal knights, such high-intensity sprints consume a tremendous amount of fighting spirit for both individuals
Based on this large number, the academy had no choice but to divide the new students into four teams, with each team consisting of twenty-five thousand members, for separate testing
Aaron stood cautiously on a tree not far from Xia Li, observing his surroundings with keen eyes and attentive ears
"Aaron, do we need to settle this quickly?" Xia Li asked while running.
However, for these newcomers, the magical beasts in the trial jungle are far too fierce, making it much less easy than seizing the badges from the chests of other candidates, which is why few choose magical beasts as their trial targets
In an instant, the speed of the Xia Li surged dramatically, shooting out like an arrow, crushing and blasting away all obstacles in its path with brute force
The Earth Bear is a unique magical beast found in the Trial Jungle, living in solitude in the western part of the jungle. In its juvenile stage, it stands three meters tall, and as an adult, it reaches five meters. With every movement, it can shatter mountains and split rocks, causing considerable distress even to seasoned knights who encounter them
Whoever can enter the jungle first will seize the initiative
Aaron and Shali woke up early. After the two checked their weapons and equipment, they set off.
As soon as the thought arose, the fighting spirit within Xia Li erupted explosively beneath his feet. Utilizing the rebound force, he soared into the air like a soaring eagle, ascending rapidly, leaping from the ground to the tree, moving swiftly through the woods like a monkey.
At that moment, a voice of unrestrained conversation came from a distance
Xialidun suddenly realized that there is a significant difference between juvenile bears and adult bears, and their combat abilities are as vast as those between them and regular knights
In the distance, Aaron gazed at this magnificent scene and couldn't help but think that similar sights must also be unfolding at the other three entrances to the jungle.
In other words, these newcomers must achieve victory within five days in order to have a chance to remain in the academy
It is not a leisurely flight like that of a bird, but rather akin to a soaring eagle, moving with the speed of lightning, cutting through the vast sky. In this way, after just a few steps, Aaron matched the pace of the Xiali, and after ten steps, he left the Xiali far behind.
Upon thinking of this, Xia Li could not help but become excited, "What are we waiting for? Charge! Charge! Charge!"
Aaron shook his head and said, "The target is childhood, not adulthood"
What is the objective
Although surprised by the speed of the Xia Li, after being trained by Noah for six months, Aaron had undergone a tremendous transformation compared to when he first entered school. With each large stride, the vigorous fighting spirit would erupt with every step he took, causing his speed to suddenly increase, making it seem as if he was not just running, but flying.
One figure after another dashed in like arrows released from a bow
It seems that it is about to erupt at any moment
By the time the two individuals arrived at the western part of the jungle, their internal energy had been nearly depleted.
The voice is deep and resonant, piercing through the heavens, akin to the continuous giant waves, each wave rising higher than the last, layer upon layer, as if breaking through one barrier after another, resounding through the clouds, echoing in the skies above.
The position he occupies is very concealed, hidden among the dense branches, yet the view is expansive, almost encompassing the entire area within a radius of several hundred meters.
However, I certainly do not want to lose like this
The second method is to seize the crystal core of any magical beast within the trial jungle
At the moment the continuous long howl echoed, the students who had been waiting at the entrance of the trial jungle suddenly became restless, one after another charging into the jungle, like a suicide squad, without hesitation.
