Chapter 16 Entrance Exam Begin 2
The booklet clearly stated:
The first subject of the exam is the battle pet's practical combat ability test.
The exam rules are straightforward: candidates are grouped into batches of one hundred and brought into a test area filled with magical beasts for the test.
The test area is a complete simulation of a combat environment, allowing candidates the freedom to engage and battle with the magical beasts within.
Upon defeating a magical beast, the identification token that each candidate carries will automatically record their kill.
The examiners will score the candidates based on the level and number of magical beasts they defeat.
Killing a Level 1 Black Iron magical beast earns 1 point.
Killing a Level 2 Black Iron magical beast earns 2 points.
...
And so on, with higher level magical beasts yielding more points.
After the exam concludes, the top 30% of students based on total points will advance to the next subject assessment.
The remaining students will be eliminated!
In this examination hall, among the 1,000 candidates, only 300 can advance to the second round of testing.
With a 70% elimination rate, many students felt their legs trembling slightly.
However, the truly good students were not worried, like Diana Nor and Ethen Cole.
They were both completely confident in passing this round of assessments.
"The exam duration is 90 minutes."
"The first group's examination area is Zone A; you may now enter!"
"The second group's examination area is Zone B..."
...
Ethen Cole was assigned to Zone D to participate in the assessment.
Under the guidance of an invigilator, the hundred person team that Ethen Cole was part of arrived at the entrance of Zone D.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the iron gate of the electric fence was opened by the invigilator.
The candidates filed in, starting the first subject of the college entrance examination.
Upon entering Zone D, the candidates quickly dispersed.
Since the competition rules were based on who could hunt more magical beasts, the candidates were reluctant to stay in the same area as others.
Being in the same area could lead to interference, which would slow down their hunting speed.
Thus, the candidates instinctively separated from each other, even hoping to stay as far away from other candidates as possible.
"Blux, this way!"
Ethen Cole immediately chose a route and quickly moved forward with Blux.
After not walking for long, Ethen Cole noticed what seemed to be traces of magical beasts in the distance.
"Beep! System task issued: [Host must eliminate more than 20 magical beasts within 10 minutes to receive a reward of 1000 growth points]. Do you accept the task, host?"
The system prompt sounded.
Growth points?
Ethen Cole's expression immediately brightened.
Blux currently had 620 growth points, still far from the 3,000 points needed for an upgrade.
This task directly rewarded him with 1,000 growth points, which was quite generous.
"System, I accept!"
Ethen Cole said immediately.
"Ding! Task acceptance successful, countdown begins..."
The system immediately started the timer.
Ethen Cole didn't dare to waste any time and quickly moved forward toward the area where he had seen traces of magical beasts.
Soon, he encountered a "Blue bird."
The Blue bird is a third tier magical beast evolved from a swallow, with black feathers and a striking tuft of white fur at its forehead.
The Blue bird doesn't have much attacking power and has a gentle temperament.
However, they are fast flyers and difficult to hunt.
At this moment, the Blue bird was perched on the ground, pecking at insects.
It had not noticed Ethen Cole approaching.
When Ethen Cole was only about ten meters away from the Blue bird, he stopped in his tracks.
He patted the Blux and quietly commanded, "Blux, [Speed Burst]!"
Whoosh.
The Blux, in tune with Ethen Cole's thoughts, quickly appeared in front of the Blue bird.
After upgrading to black iron level seven, the Blux's skill was enhanced to [Speed Burst], allowing it to move like lightning within a 20 meter range.
At this moment, Blux was like a messenger of the wind.
The blue bird only sensed a shadow flickering in front of it, and then it lost its life force.
Blux retracted its claws.
With its level seven strength in Black Iron, dealing with a level three blue bird was easily accomplished with just one swipe.
"Well done, Blux!"
Ethen Cole praised.
After killing the blue bird, the identity token on Ethen Cole's body flickered with a red light.
Points +3!
After glancing at the identity token, Ethen Cole continued forward with Blux.
Soon, they encountered a second blue bird.
This bird was also swiftly dealt with by Blux.
Next came the third and fourth birds.
...
Smack.
The Blux used [Speed Burst] to appear in an instant and effortlessly smacked down another Blue bird with a single strike.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the task of [Eliminating 20 magical beasts within 10 minutes]. You have earned 1000 growth points!"
Immediately, Ethen Cole saw a treasure chest appear on his system Space page, marked "Growth Points 1000."
Awesome!
Ethen Cole smiled and immediately used the growth value treasure chest, adding all 1,000 points to Blux.
A flash of white light appeared.
Blux's growth points increased from 620 to 1,620.
It only needed to accumulate another 1,380 growth points to upgrade again.
At the same time, Ethen Cole, who had continuously killed 20 blue birds, also earned 60 points.
According to the standards of previous years' first subject of the college entrance examination, accumulating 80 points essentially guarantees a score in the top 30%, qualifying for the next round.
At this moment, less than ten minutes had passed, and Ethen Cole had already accumulated 60 points, very close to success.
There were still 80 minutes left in the first subject exam.
Plenty of time.
However, Ethen Cole didn't dare to be complacent and continued forward with Blux.
But after taking just a couple of steps, he encountered two candidates from other schools.
