"There are three rounds of competition in this round of National Competition."
"The first round is Forbidden Zone Assessment."
"Some of you may have heard of it, and some of you may not have heard of it."
"The so-called Forbidden Zone refers to those places where Mutant Beast are abnormally gathered and very dangerous. If you enter rashly, you will easily be torn into pieces by the Mutant Beast inside."
"If left untreated, these Forbidden Zones can easily produce Beast Kings, posing a greater threat."
"So, the content of the first round of Assessment is very simple. All of you will be transported to Forbidden Zone to hunt Mutant Beast. The more Mutant Beast you hunt, the more Points you will get."
"It should be noted that for this assessment we have integrated 50 junior restricted areas, 10 intermediate restricted areas and 5 advanced restricted areas. Different levels of restricted areas have different levels of danger. You need to choose which level of area to hunt based on your own strength."
Lin Ya's words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.
"Forbidden Zone? We are going to practice inside Forbidden Zone? Is it true?"
"That place is so dangerous."
"Will we make it out alive?"
"I've only heard of Forbidden Zone, but I've never really been in it."
Fortunately, the candidates of Four Academies are familiar with Forbidden Zone to some extent. Many of them have even gone through Forbidden Zone in person, so they know it quite well.
But for people from other schools, they have basically never used Forbidden Zone. They only know some basic information and know that Forbidden Zone is dangerous.
As a result, the first step is to ask them to go to Forbidden Zone Assessment, and many people are frightened.
"Holy shit! Forbidden Zone Assessment? This is a bit big, I'm already looking forward to it." Zhao Qiu rubbed his hands in anticipation.
In fact, he is looking forward to trying Forbidden Zone to prove his strength.
"Old Zhou, are you looking forward to it?"
"What's there to look forward to? It's not like I've never been to Forbidden Zone." Zhou Fan really has no interest in Forbidden Zone.
He has been there several times and visited three or four Beginner Forbidden Zone.
So there is nothing much to look forward to about Forbidden Zone.
"Yes, you have been to Forbidden Zone so many times, it must not be difficult for you this time."
"So, Old Zhou, please keep a low profile this time and let me show off my skills." Zhao Qiu was eager to give it a try.
"Okay, okay, let you come."
Not just Zhou Fan.
There are also top talents from other schools, but they don't care much about Forbidden Zone Assessment in this round.
For them, Forbidden Zone is not a place that they cannot go to.
Just don't go to Intermediate Forbidden Zone and Advanced Forbidden Zone.
At this time, Lin Ya on the stage continued,
"One more thing - every time you kill a Mutant Beast, a special 'Beast Soul Mark' will be added to it. The more marks, the easier it is to attract Mutant Beast's attention."
"So, you should not just focus on hunting Mutant Beast, but also consider whether you can withstand Mutant Beast's siege after the mark is increased."
"If you are eliminated midway, no matter how many Points you have, your score will be cleared."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd burst into uproar again.
This time, even the top geniuses turned their attention.
"What does this mean?"
"This means that the more Mutant Beast you kill, the greater the risk and the easier it is to be besieged by Mutant Beast."
"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with us, does it? It feels like we can't kill many Mutant Beast."
"It has nothing to do with us ordinary people, but it has something to do with those top geniuses. The stronger the strength, the more Mutant Beast you kill, the easier it is to be besieged by Mutant Beast, and the greater the risk of being eliminated."
"Wouldn't this be beneficial to us?"
This mechanism is obviously aimed at those top geniuses.
If it were just conducted according to ordinary rules, this trial would definitely have the top geniuses leading the way, putting a huge distance between themselves and the others.
But now that this mechanism has been added, the gap between candidates can be greatly limited.
The strength of top geniuses will not be affected, but they cannot hunt Mutant Beast unscrupulously and need to consider the consequences.
This might be a little unfair to them.
But it is also an experience.
Since he is a top genius, he must of course bear greater pressure to achieve the training effect!
"Here I go, this is a bit highly targeted. Isn't it clearly aimed at geniuses like us?" Zhao Qiu feels that this mechanism is a bit too much.
"This kind of trial is interesting." Zhou Fan found this mechanism quite interesting.
It would be a bit boring to just simply farm monsters.
But with the addition of this mechanism, it becomes a bit more interesting.
"You are all the leaders of our younger generation, Xia Country. The future of Xia Country lies with you."
"I believe you have the strength."
"The duration of the first round of Assessment is 3 days. If you persist for three days in Forbidden Zone, you will pass."
"After entering, each of you will be assigned a Points Bracelet, which will be used to record your Points and refresh your rankings every once in a while."
"I announce that the first round of Assessment has officially begun!"
As Lin Ya announced loudly, Teleportation Array opened one after another on Square.
One thousand four hundred candidates entered Teleportation Array one after another and went to try Forbidden Zone.
Place of Trial·Myriad Phenomena Forbidden Zone!
This is the joint Forbidden Zone specially created by the Superpower General Bureau for this Assessment. Through the special Spatial Passage, Forbidden Zone scattered in different places across the country are connected together, greatly increasing the scope of Assessment Secret Realm.
After all, there are now 1,400 candidates, and only three or five Forbidden Zone cannot handle so many candidates.
Rays of light lit up, and all candidates were randomly teleported into Myriad Phenomena Forbidden Zone.
Zhou Fan was also sent in.
Surrounded by a green forest, there was no one around him but himself.
The first round of Assessment is an individual Points competition. There is no such thing as a team, so everyone is randomly teleported. It is basically impossible for two people to be teleported to the same place.
Zhou Fan took a deep breath,
"The familiar air is indeed Forbidden Zone."
"Let it begin."
Zhou Fan moved his joints and strode forward.
"Roar!"
He hadn't taken a few steps when suddenly several Mutant Beasts rushed towards him from the forest nearby.
It's still a familiar rhythm.
It's still a familiar attack.
Mutant Beast among Forbidden Zone is the most hospitable. No matter who comes in, he will give you some greeting gifts first.
"Fire Release·Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
Zhou Fan used his hands Hand Seals to spit out a sea of fire, which instantly swallowed up all the Mutant Beasts that rushed towards him and burned them into Charred Corpses.
[Points+5]
[Points+10]
[Points+10]
The higher the Level of Mutant Beast, the more Points.
After being killed, special round Beast Soul Mark floated out from Mutant Beast's body and were imprinted on Zhou Fan's body.
He suddenly had 10 more marks.
"Is this Beast Soul Mark?"
"The more marks there are, the easier it is to attract the hatred of Mutant Beast... I want to see how attractive it can be."
