Chapter 20 Let me try to click again]
"Xin Lie."
Looking at the 60-year-old test paper that had just passed, Gai Kui recited a name, and his expression was still indifferent.
Xin Lie, who saved people and killed eagles, was barely shortlisted and ranked 99th!
With a coaxing sound, the candidates in the audience looked different. The girls were happy about it. Many people were disappointed and annoyed. Especially those who feared him, this bull was really lucky! The only remaining man, Ma He, cursed inwardly; Liu Yu snorted coldly; Meng Qian frowned; Lin Yi punched the snow, and let him pass again!
"Huh--!" Fang Ling'er let out a long sigh of relief, her worries disappeared, and her heart was filled with excitement and joy. She smiled and looked at Xin Lie. Everyone passed the test! Cheng Lei was also very happy and nodded to Xin Lie, congratulations! However, his doubts were not diminished, and he couldn't figure out how Xin Lie's score could be so low.
Xin Lie nodded with a smile to the two of them, his tightening heart gradually loosened, and it would be fine after passing! He didn't know what was wrong with the examiners, but he believed that his answers were definitely not worse than anyone else. Maybe it was just those, not what they wanted...
"Jiang Xiang." As Gai Kui read out the name of the last shortlist, the result of the second level was settled. The 100 people on the list were all glad, and the more than 600 people who were eliminated were shrouded in sorrow and regret, losing all hope.
"No! Why don't you have me!?"
Suddenly, a sharp trembling voice sounded, but a teenager shouted like crazy. His eyes were red, his face was full of confusion, and his cheek muscles were trembling. The people around him were silent, a little scared, and another madman! The boy's mood was getting worse and worse, and he actually twisted his face with a hideous twist, and he stood up and rushed forward: "Impossible! I clearly answered very well, why didn't I? Look at me again-"
Gai Kui waved his hand silently, and the one-eyed examiner immediately walked out of the line and walked through the test tables. Only a few steps were left. He suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist and waved it to the crazy boy running towards him.
A blood flashed, and a young head flew into the sky, and blood scattered all over the sky.
Bang... The headless body surging blood fell on the snow, and a large area of terrifying blood red immediately spread, swallowing the snow-white surroundings...
"Ahhh--" Faced with this sudden situation, some girls were so scared that they screamed. Especially a long-haired girl sitting next to her, her head and face were covered with hot blood. She didn't know where to wipe her trembling hands, and she was killing people! This is killing people!
At this time, Gai Kui's faint voice spread throughout the audience: "Noisy, kill." They hurriedly covered their mouths with their hands, not daring to make any sound, for fear of causing trouble. The same is true for others, and the snow returned to a dead silence.
The one-eyed examiner licked the blood splashed on his lips and spat on the ground. He looked at the head on his hand, then looked at the headless body on the ground, and asked coldly: "Do you think it's better to have a head or not?"
The boy seemed not dead yet, and he stared at the twitching body with wide eyes. Still, he still has a head...
Seeing all this, Xin Lie had already clenched his fists, his stomach was full of powerless discomfort. He finally understood why there were dark blood on the wooden table in front of him... Cheng Lei and Fang Ling'er on both sides were nervously winking at him. Don't be stupid! Don't put yourself in!
"People who are pronounced with names are qualified to go to the next level."
No assessment officer cares about what the losers think; no candidate knows whether they can persevere until the end, although the chance of becoming a new warrior is already 20%.
It was still early, Gai Kui and others continued to move forward with a hundred candidates, walked into the snowy forest, and walked towards the direction of the giant sword.
On the other hand, the high-nosed examiner led the more than 600 people who were eliminated back to the giant rock; as for the dead body with different heads, no one paid attention to it, just lay there motionlessly, attracting the eyes of a group of Black Mountain eagles hovering in the sky.
...
A string of footprints were left in the snow, and the dead branches were trampled and crackled. The giant sword did not look far away. However, everyone walked in the mountains and forests for nearly half an hour, and the distance from it was still out of reach.
Many people were talking softly about what happened just now, and Xin Lie and others also exchanged the answers to the test paper. Cheng Lei and Fang Linger both thought Xin Lie's answer was more reasonable and better, but the score was the lowest, which really made them unable to understand.
"Stop." Everyone walked for a while and came to the intersection of a narrow mountain road. Gaikui raised his right hand and everyone stopped. After a day of running, the candidates were exhausted and panting, especially the only few remaining girls supported their knees and exhaled a bunch of heat.
I saw that among the white trees, the intersection ahead was blocked by a very conspicuous oval stone pier. It was very large in size, with some wheat ear patterns engraved on the stone surface, which was sunk in the snow, and looked very heavy.
Everyone vaguely guessed something, could it be... I heard Gai Kui's ruthless voice: "Only those who can lift and move the stone pier can continue to walk. If no one can do it, then... they will be eliminated."
"Oh...", "What?", "Oh God!" Everyone suddenly felt aroused, their faces were shocked and anxious. The big stone pier was so heavy, and they were so tired. This, this...
How do you carry this?
"I don't have time to make you talk too much." Gaikui looked at a boy and said, "Currently according to the previous test papers, from low to high, you, go up!"
"Me?" Jiang Xiang's heart tightened and his anger was not straightened out yet! But with the young man's lesson, how could he dare to whine too much? Under the gaze of everyone, he swallowed, stepped forward and hugged the stone pun with both hands, and was already sweating profusely before he started exerting force. With a "ah", he used all his strength, but the stone pun did not move at all! Another "ahah", his teeth were bitten quickly, and the stone pun was still as stable as a mountain.
His hands and legs were trembling, becoming weaker and weaker. How could it be, how could it be, and all his strength was used...
"You can't do it, next one." Gai Kui said lightly, Jiang Xiang gasped and said anxiously: "Sir, wait, wait! I can do it!" Gai Kui repeated in a constant tone: "Next."
The one-eyed examiner's right hand moved and pressed on the handle of the waist knife. The intact left eye flashed with a bloodthirsty light. Jiang Xiang had to retreat timidly, his face full of depression and helplessness. Everyone couldn't help but feel sad, and his heart seemed to be pressed by the big stone pier, very heavy.
Then, Xin Lie walked up with a calm face. If he deliberately tested the candidate's potential in his exhausted state, he would have set this level until now, which would be a reason. Otherwise, why not put it before the bridge of life-seeking? But no matter what, this stone pier would not be able to stop him!
Holding the stone pier in both hands, feeling the convex and convex patterns of the carved patterns in his palms. He took a deep breath to calm the breath of his whole body. It was much easier to exert force on the snow than on the suspension bridge... "Drink!" He exerted force suddenly, his feet sank, and his arms veins burst, and slowly picked up the stone pier! At this time, the wound between his chest and abdomen burst out with force, and blood flowed out again, "Uh--"
Seeing him taking a steadily step, everyone was surprised a little more. This guy was really powerful!
Xin Lie didn't know where to move the stone pier, so he didn't have time to ask, so he carried it three steps and put it in front of the intersection with a "bang".
Three steps! Looking at the deep footprints on the snow, some people envy, some people are jealous, some people are excited, and Xin Lie passed the test! Some people are lucky, it seems to be very relaxed, maybe it’s just that Jiang Xiang is too bad...
Gai Kui closed his eyes. Is he the first person to pass the test? He waved his hand, and the one-eyed examiner immediately stepped forward and suddenly lifted the stone pier and put it back in place. There was no difficulty in the beginning and the end. He also glanced at Xin Lie calmly, Gai Kui continued: "Next."
Xin Lie gasped and walked back to the queue. He whispered to Cheng Lei and Fang Linger and the others who were coming, "The stone piers are much heavier than they look like. I don't know the specific weight, but they are at least 200 kilograms... You all sit down and rest and maintain their strength." Fang Linger nodded with frowning and beating her eyebrows. Two hundred kilograms? Cheng Lei quickly sat down, only rubbing his hands and feet to keep it warm. This is not a joke. It is difficult to pick up two hundred kilograms when he is full of energy, let alone almost exhausted now.
The examiners did not scold them, and the people around them sat down to rest when they saw this.
"Ahhh!", "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The assessment is constantly going on, one after another, one after another, and there are only one or two passers-by. Not to mention moving away, some people are like Jiang Xiang, and they can't even hold them up, and they are lucky enough to completely extinguish them.
The people behind the lineup were relatively easier because they had some rest time. Soon, Cheng Lei was able to pass the test with difficulty, so he could only move the stone pier one step away, but before that, only a few people could move to two steps, and as for the three steps, only Xin Lie was the only one.
Another "next", it was Fang Ling'er's turn. As of now, there is no woman among the passers-by.
"Remember to squat to the lowest point, and then hold the stone pier on the rack formed by the thighs and arms, and fix it with your arms, but not relying on your arms to bear the force, that won't work!" Listening to Xin Lie's serious guidance again, Fang Ling'er tried hard to remember every sentence. She knew that it was thanks to his handling skills and experience that Cheng Lei could pass. Xin Lie continued: "You must try to pull the stone pier as close as possible to your body, and let its gravity mainly fall on your body..."
Seeing the one-eyed examiner over there looking over, Fang Ling'er didn't dare to delay and said, "Brother Xin Lie, I will work hard." After saying that, she smiled slightly, then walked around tidying up the corners of her clothes. She must not let Brother Xin Lie down! And her family, herself...
Cheng Lei looked at her, and all the young people looked at her. Can she pass? Xin Lie kept muttering to her, what was the secret decision? But is she capable enough?
It's okay to pick it up and take it once, just pick it up and take it once... Fang Ling'er looked at the big stone pier in front of her and felt Xin Lie's encouraging look. Cheng Lei breathed a sigh of relief, making him think nothing. She silently recited Xin Lie's instructions, squatted down, took his hands into place, and hugged the stone pier and leaned against her body hard!
"Um...ahhhh..." Shi Dun rose up from the ground little by little. Her face turned red in an instant, her forehead was sweating profusely, and her mind was moving: "I picked it up, what's next? Yes, yes! Put it against my body and straighten my legs..." Just as she started to move, her strength suddenly dropped!
No!! Can't land!! Must be done, must... Fang Ling'er hurriedly encouraged again, her arms trembling, her whole body trembled, her knees bent down little by little, and the big stone pier was hanging less than a foot above the snow...
"Get harder." Xin Lie and his men's hearts were tightly clamped, and their feet were unknowingly exerting force, causing the snow to sink, but they couldn't help at all.
Many people shook their heads, no, she couldn't hold them... Ma He and some men laughed secretly, Liu Yu and Lin Yi looked at each other, their lips curled up, and they whispered: "A little girl still wants to be a warrior, I'm gonna be the first to visit." Meng Qian sneered disdainfully: "Isn't that Xin Lie good at it? Can he save her this time?"
Fang Ling'er suddenly felt her hands soft and she couldn't use any strength. With a muffled "bang", the stone pier fell heavily into the spot. She couldn't help but squat down and gasped unbearably...
"Next." Gai Kui's plain words arose, without any difference.
Is it over? Xin Lie's heart was blank, and the cold wind seemed to be even colder. He shivered all over. Although he had known each other for less than a day, he felt very sorry for her. Is it over? Cheng Lei and other girls sighed sadly. Fang Ling'er was eliminated, what a new warrior... to this end.
"Try again, let me try again!" Hearing Gai Kui's words, Fang Ling'er suddenly raised her head and shouted, while immediately picking up the stone pun again, pursing her lips tightly, "Uhhhh..."
"Next." Gai Kui's tone felt a little impatient; the one-eyed examiner held his left eye and stretched his palm towards the handle of the waist knife.
Fang Ling'er did not get up and walk away like others, but continued to hold her up hard, her arms trembling constantly, and the stone pier was still motionless...
clang—
The sharp long sword was pulled out of the scabbard, and the one-eyed examiner walked step by step; Xin Lie clenched his fists and was about to step out; Cheng Lei and others were anxious, and wanted to remind him but they didn't dare, leave quickly, Fang Ling'er! Don't you have any life? But she still refused to leave, her expression became more and more confused and desperate...
Her weak legs finally couldn't hold on. With a thud, she knelt down, lowered her head, and sweat dripped down the snow.
"Please...you guys, let me...let me try again..."
Chapter completed!
