384: Preparation before the selection begins
In the meeting room.
Facing Lin Feng's inquiry, Xie Jialiang, who had a good-natured appearance, said very straightforwardly:
"Dean, I'm not worried about this selection. I'm just worried that Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen won't be able to adapt."
"Are you worried about Wang Chen's strength?"
At this moment, Chu Youxiong suddenly spoke:
"When I saw him at Dawn Fortress last time, his strength had already reached a level where he could contend with a newly advanced Six-revolution professional."
"Given his rate of improvement, after more than half a month, it's likely that only the three of us in the school can steadily suppress him now."
"I'm not talking about his strength."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing Chu Youxiong's words, Xie Jialiang shook his head.
"I am very convinced by the school's decision, and by your judgment, Old Chu."
"What I'm worried about is that the mechanism of this selection isn't very friendly to Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen."
"You should know that our target this time is the Holy Blood Church remnants in Thousand Mountains Country…"
At this point, Xie Jialiang paused, then emphasized:
"And not just them, but also those ordinary Awakeners who have been brainwashed by the Holy Blood Church."
"This selection will definitely be very bloody."
"Killing monsters and killing people, these are different!"
"I'm worried that Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen is too young, hasn't been on a battlefield, and won't be able to accept it."
"This…"
Upon hearing this, Chu Youxiong and Gu Xinzhi looked surprised, seemingly not expecting that Xie Jialiang, this honest fellow with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could think of such a detailed problem.
And across from them, Yang Zixiong and Lin Feng's brows also furrowed.
They had indeed not considered this issue before.
Wang Chen's talent, strength, and even combat experience met the conditions for participating in the selection, but…
He was indeed as Xie Jialiang said; his enemies had always been monsters. Even though he had experienced being hunted by the Blood Clan in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, that was somewhat child's play compared to this selection.
"Old Lin?"
At this moment, Yang Zixiong looked at Lin Feng with concern.
"I believe Wang Chen; he will overcome his psychological problems himself."
After a moment of silence, Lin Feng tapped the table and said solemnly:
"If he can't even pass this hurdle, then it will be difficult for him to achieve anything on the battlefield in the future."
"Dean!"
Xie Jialiang suddenly spoke:
"Is this not too early, and too cruel, for Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen?"
"I still think he should adapt little by little."
"I understand what you mean, but…"
Lin Feng nodded, paused, then said firmly:
"But no matter what, this is something he will have to face in the future. How can he grow without experiencing hardship?"
"But…"
Upon hearing this, Xie Jialiang's lips moved, as if he still wanted to say something.
But just then…
Thump thump thump!
A knock on the door sounded, and Wang Chen walked in from outside.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."
After greeting everyone in the meeting room, Wang Chen then looked at Xie Jialiang seriously:
"First, thank you for your concern, Senior Apprentice-Brother, but I think I can do it."
Wang Chen felt no displeasure towards Xie Jialiang's doubts.
After all, no matter what, the other party was acting out of good intentions.
But Xie Jialiang's concern was actually not a problem at all.
He had already seen blood not long after completing his class change.
"Then I have no problem."
Xie Jialiang scratched his head awkwardly, his face a little red.
"Alright!"
"Since there are no problems, Wang Chen, please take a seat first. Next, I will briefly explain the situation of this selection in Thousand Mountains Country."
Yang Zixiong smiled, motioned for Wang Chen to find a seat, and then continued:
"I'm sure you've all learned about the situation in Thousand Mountains Country through the internet these past few days."
"I won't go into too much detail. Currently, the high-ranking members and powerhouses of the Holy Blood Church have basically been cleared out. The remaining remnants have been driven into a fixed area. Your target is these remaining remnants, as well as the low-level cultists who have been developed."
"In addition, several injured bishops of the Holy Blood Church are still at large. These guys all have Seven-Turn strength, so the danger of this selection is not small. You need to be mentally prepared in advance."
"Vice Principal!"
Xie Jialiang raised his hand again at this point:
"Then, by what standard will this selection be judged?"
"You can't expect us to chop off the heads of Holy Blood Church remnants and exchange them one by one, can you?"
"What's the rush? I haven't finished yet!"
Yang Zixiong looked at Xie Jialiang helplessly. This little guy was too straightforward; would he die if he didn't omit the word 'Vice'?
Muttering to himself, Yang Zixiong continued:
"A Tianwang Sub-body has been temporarily set up in Thousand Mountains Country. This selection will be under the constant surveillance of the Tianwang."
"When you kill Holy Blood Church remnants, you will receive corresponding points based on their strength."
"Rank 1 gives ten points, Rank 2 gives thirty points, Rank 3 gives one hundred points. The stronger the opponent, the more points you get. The top one hundred in points will enter the final selection."
"The specific scoring rules will be directly sent to your data terminals by the Tianwang Sub-body once you arrive in Qianshan."
"Are there any other questions?"
As he spoke, Yang Zixiong's gaze searched Wang Chen and the others. Seeing that everyone had no objections, he took out four documents from his spatial ring and handed them over.
"Since that's the case, then please sign this agreement. It contains risk warnings, precautions, and the temporary granting of unlimited firing and counter-attack rights for this selection."
Taking the documents, the four read them carefully.
First were the risk warnings and precautions, which were self-explanatory. Having decided to participate in the selection, both Chu Youxiong and the other two, as well as Wang Chen, were already mentally prepared.
It was the unlimited firing and counter-attack rights that came later that piqued Wang Chen's interest.
According to the document, after signing the agreement, they would temporarily gain military prepared by, allowing them to directly kill enemies on the spot without any restrictions when facing Holy Blood Church remnants or being threatened with force.
Of course, if they were killed in return, they could only blame their own lack of strength.
After carefully reading the terms on the document, Wang Chen and the others solemnly signed their names.
"Alright!"
Yang Zixiong put away the documents, and his expression immediately became solemn:
"Once the selection begins, everything will be up to you."
"This old man does not wish for any of you to be missing when you return."
"Next…"
As he spoke, Yang Zixiong opened his data terminal and operated it a few times, projecting a holographic image in the middle of the group.
"Let's examine your main competitors in the selection."
"First, there's Chai Yue from Huaqing University."
As Yang Zixiong operated it a few times, the image on the holographic projection changed, and a burly young man appeared before them.
