Ranking (3)
Virtual space, second level of the Trial Tower, Phase A trial.
Eight minutes and thirty-five seconds had passed, and at this time, eight Ironclad Scorpion were still alive beside Luo Zhe. He swung his War Blade and once again parried the long, sharp, cone-shaped tails of the Ironclad Scorpion that attacked from behind.
Given Luo Zhe's strength, this shouldn't have happened.
But at this moment, Luo Zhe's gaze was somewhat vacant, as if he had just woken up, his body was awake but his mind was still dormant.
In the past eight minutes, despite Luo Zhe's utmost caution, he never expected that the Ironclad Scorpion's blood would contain a nerve-paralyzing toxin.
While slaying an Ironclad Scorpion, Luo Zhe got some blood splattered in his eyes from the Ironclad Scorpion. At first, Luo Zhe Luo Zhe n't pay much attention to it, but as the battle intensified and his blood circulation accelerated, he found that his reactions were getting slower and slower. Attacks that he should have dodged were now just a hair's breadth away from him.
After valiantly slaying forty-two Ironclad Scorpion, Luo Zhe gradually succumbed to the paralyzing toxins. His mind would issue the command to swing his sword, but it would take a full half-second for his body to react. Had Luo Zhe not maintained his distance from the Ironclad Scorpion, he would likely already be a cold corpse, his trial a failure.
With a cold gaze fixed on the Ironclad Scorpion closing in from all sides, Luo Zhe's mind raced as he carefully assessed his surroundings. He had one more chance; if he could take down all eight Ironclad Scorpion with a single strike, he could turn the tide of battle!
But it's difficult!
The Ironclad Scorpion is relatively small, almost the size of a three- or four-year-old child. Moreover, unlike the Reckless Bull, the Ironclad Scorpion does not have a clearly visible vital organ such as a throat. Its vital organs, apart from the mid-eye in the middle of its back and the dorsal blood vessel a little below the right large claw, are equivalent to the human heart.
If you can accurately hit the dorsal blood vessel, the Ironclad Scorpion will die instantly!
Luo Zhe only has one chance!
This is the moment!
The moment the Ironclad Scorpion on Luo Zhe's right side moved!
Call!
The whole world seemed to stand still!
Swish, swish, swish... The sky was filled with flashing sword light, as bright as the countless stars in the sky. Clang! Luo Zhe knelt on one knee, his War Blade stuck into the sand, supporting his body to keep from falling.
The eight Ironclad Scorpion remained exactly as they had been in life, their faces ferocious, their massive pincers raised high, ready to pounce, their six pairs of blade-like appendages gleaming with a chilling light. However, this was their final action.
Completely destroyed!
In that instant, Luo Zhe Luo Zhe his limits, unleashing sixteen slashes. Eight of these slashes deflected the large pincers and sharp, long tail that blocked his path, while the other eight precisely slashed the dorsal blood vessels of the Ironclad Scorpion.
"Time: 9 minutes and 6 seconds. 50 Elementary Beast General Level Ironclad Scorpion killed. Second level A stage passed. Congratulations, student Luo Zhe." The electronic voice echoed in the hot desert. Light flashed, and all the Ironclad Scorpion corpses on the desert disappeared. Luo Zhe's strength and body were also fully restored.
Luo Zhe stood up, clenched his fist tightly, and couldn't help but laugh, "Damn it, thank goodness it's not reality, otherwise even if I killed these guys, I'd be dead." With the experience of this second stage A, passing stage B shouldn't be too much of a problem.
As long as you take precautions and don't let the blood of these Ironclad Scorpion get on your skin again, you'll be fine.
The second stage, phase B trial continues!
Meanwhile, many students who were still patiently waiting for the latest news at the main entrance discovered that Luo Zhe's ranking had soared again, rising directly to 90th place.
The white youth who had been so confident that Luo Zhe would be kicked out of the top 100 today had slunk into the crowd the moment Luo Zhe's ranking soared, and dared not utter a word.
90th place and 99th place are two completely different concepts!
Reaching 99th place only proves Luo Zhe's amazing talent and good luck in standing out among many senior students. Reaching 90th place shows that Luo Zhe's strength is quite good, even among these senior students who have been studying for two or even three years.
It's worth noting that even someone like Zhao Ruowei, who has been studying for over a year, only managed to rank around 120th.
Among the dozen or so War God teachers in their small circle was Luo Zhe's direct teacher, Jiang Fang, who was now looking with delight at Luo Zhe's ranking on the Black Dragon Ranking.
"Jiang, congratulations!"
"Miss Jiang Fang's teaching is truly excellent. What's that saying in Huaxia? It goes like this: 'A great teacher produces a great student!'"
Facing the teachers around her who were praising her, Jiang Fang waved her hand and said with a smile, "That's because Luo Zhe is highly talented."
Although I thought I knew Luo Zhe's strength well and knew he had the ability to break into the top 100, having the ability and actually achieving it are two completely different things. After all, the veteran trainees in the Training Camp are not to be underestimated.
But Jiang Fang never expected that Luo Zhe could achieve this in just half a month, and even go further!
"Considering your good performance this time, I'll be magnanimous and let it go," Jiang Fang thought to herself, revealing a joyful and sweet smile that made the eyes of the group of male teachers around her almost pop out.
"Hey, Luo Zhe's ranking is still changing!" Suddenly, someone exclaimed, and subconsciously raised their hand to rub their eyes, trying to see more clearly.
On the Black Dragon Ranking, Luo Zhe, who was originally ranked 90th, suddenly appeared at number 81.
"NO.81 Luo Zhe (561099)"
In the ninth-floor trial room of the Ninefold Tower, Luo Zhe reluctantly opened his eyes and took off his helmet.
He was almost through stage B when, with half a minute to one o'clock left, an electronic voice announced to Luo Zhe that there were 30 seconds left until the end of the privilege assessment!
Just because of that reminder, Luo Zhe was distracted... splat! He was torn to pieces by that Intermediate Beast General- level Ironclad Scorpion! Of course, this couldn't be blamed on the virtual space's reminder; it was mainly because Luo Zhe was slightly distracted, and thus failed to die!
However, despite failing to die, Luo Zhe still gained a Trial Tower level of 2.5. After all, he had completed most of the B stage and was only a little bit away from success.
The trial tower privilege assessment time for new students is from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM every day. In principle, as long as the assessment is not failed, the student can continue to take the assessment... But it is estimated that even the people who made the relevant rules did not expect that such an anomaly as Luo Zhe would appear.
It's estimated that among all the students who used their newbie privileges to participate in the Trial Tower level assessment in the past, none of them could have spent almost a whole hour like Luo Zhe.
A 20-minute assessment is considered quite long!
After all, the assessment is different from the usual Trial Tower usage time. Once you die, the assessment ends and there is no chance to start over.
After leaving the trial room, I took the elevator down to the first floor and leisurely stepped out of the elevator.
Luo Zhe was in a good mood. His Trial Tower level had reached 2.5, and multiplied by his punching power level of 2.8, his Combat Power Amplitude had reached 7. According to the Combat Power Amplitude classification, 4-8 belong to the high level, and Luo Zhe was considered quite excellent among the high level.
That's why his ranking rose to 81st.
