Chapter 284 - The Final Assessment (1/2)
Proofread by Claire.KK
Shue Jin pondered for a long time and finally sighed softly.
According to the instructions, he could only tell Lin Xun about it and he couldn’t give him any more help.
Shue Jin had a strong presentiment that when Lin Xun knew all this, he would not choose to retreat according to his temperament.
…
Three days passed in a hurry.
Lin Xun did not know that on that night three days ago, a Dark Six-wing Falcon came to the courtyard where he lived.
He also didn’t know that his background had caused a turbulence in the Forbidden City, the capital of the distant empire.
Now his mind was all on Province Test. After three days of restoring, he had recovered from his injuries.
Lin Xun was particularly pleased that after the third round assessment, his control of the Nine Strikes of Shaking Heaven had gone through the Initiation and started to reach Nuance.
Nuance meant insight into subtle. Only by mastering the essence and mystery of a skill could people truly exert the full power of a skill.
Early that morning, Lin Xun washed and stepped out of the courtyard.
Today, the final round of Province Test would be launched. Whether the Nation Test certificate could be obtained smoothly depended on today’s battle.
…
In Mist College,
The crowd was gathering, the grand occasion was unprecedented!
The seats were already full of dense figures, looking forward to today’s battles.
After three rounds of assessment, only 200 practitioners had successfully entered the last round.
Today, the two hundred screened out practitioners would compete with the last 100 winners of the previous filter.
“The last round of assessment has finally arrived. I don’t know who can stand out this time and become the biggest winner of the test.”
“Of course it will be Lin Xun!”
“It’s hard to predict. In the third round of assessment, although Lin Xun’s performance is extremely dazzling, there are many top practitioners who can fight against him, such as Shue Shaolin, Yu Wenjing, Yun Zitong and so on.”
“Are you kidding? Even Le Zhiyou was defeated by Lin Xun. How could Shue Shaolin possibly be Lin Xun’s opponent?”
“You should be clear that the final assessment results will be a comprehensive embodiment of three rounds’ performances. According to Lin Xun’s performance before, as long as the last round of assessment goes well, he is surely to reach the top of the throne!”
“It’s irresponsibility to say that. The big shots like Governor Liu Wujun will make the final decisions. Who knows how it will go?”
There was a lot of discussion in the field, and the voice was like a wave, rolling in the sky.
In the assessment area, Lin Xun and other 199 practitioners had also been waiting there. Some people closed their eyes and meditated, some talked softly and some kept quiet in thoughts. Everyone behaved differently.
This last round of assessment was the key to determine whether they could pass the Province Test or not. If they failed, even if they performed well in the first three rounds of assessment, nothing could be changed.
Under such circumstances, the practitioners who had overcame difficulties were determined to get the final success. No one was willing to be eliminated at this last moment. In that case, the blow would be too serious.
Lin Xun stood there alone, he was somewhat absent-minded.
As he left the house in the early morning, he was keenly aware that Shue Jin wanted to say something to him, but in the end he didn’t say anything.
This seemed a little abnormal.
“Old Jin shouldn’t be so indecisive…”
Lin Xun kept murmuring.
Soon, Lin Xun could not think much about it. With the bell ringing, the last round of assessment had begun.
Like the previous three rounds of assessment, it was still by drawing lots to choose the opponent. The rule was simple—to win the test by defeating the opponent.
At present, there were only two hundred people left in the field so they just need to fight one by one. If they fail, they would be eliminated. And the winners would pass this year’s Province Test.
Then, the examiner Liu Wujun and other big wigs would judge the final ranking according to the overall performances of the winners in the four rounds of assessment.
Lin Xun’s opponent this time was a young man named Wang Kang. He came from Yun Jing, a city in southwestern. He was not well known before. But he had proved his strength after breaking out of the siege of the third round and entered the last.
In other words, almost all the 200 practitioners who could take part in the last round of examinations should be regarded as the top figures of the younger generation, and there was no ordinary man in them.
However, the top figures were also ranked. Compared with Lin Xun, Wang Kang seemed a little mediocre.
When he learned that his opponent was Lin Xun, Wang Kang let out a scream. His hand trembled and the lot stick he had drawn fell to the ground. He was devastated and helpless.
No one laughed. On the contrary, all the participants showed sympathy for Wang Kang that he was so unlucky to have Lin Xun as his opponent.
Others secretly congratulate themselves and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling extremely happy that their opponent was not Lin Xu.
