Chapter 31: A Ball Spirit

Teacher Lin said:
"The rules for the last monthly exam of this semester have been announced. Whether we can get a good grade and sprint for the final exam depends on tomorrow."

"Let me explain the assessment rules."

"This monthly exam is a simulated combat type. The purpose is to make you adapt to field combat. If nothing goes wrong, it will pave the way for the final exam."

"Tomorrow, the academy will invite a powerful summoner to cast high-level magic to summon a large number of dimensional beasts. Each dimensional beast will carry a scoring ball."

"As long as you defeat the Dimensional Beasts, they will leave the Points Sphere to you."

"The assessment will test your ability to find demons in the wild, as well as a certain combat pursuit capability."

"A slave-level dimensional beast has a score ball worth 1 point. A high-level slave has 2 points. There are a few general-level beasts in the assessment, and each general-level beast represents more than 50 points."

"Students are allowed to snatch points from each other, but they are not allowed to seriously injure each other."

"Just a reminder, you must not seriously injure the dimensional beasts, otherwise, in addition to deducting credits, you will also have to pay compensation to the summoner."

"It can be said that according to the rules of this assessment, our spiritual department has a great advantage. You must perform well. At the end of the assessment, the ranking will be determined according to the points. The first place will be awarded one million cash and cultivation resources, and the rewards for the rest will decrease in sequence."

"In addition, every point can be exchanged for a 1 yuan cash reward."

"Okay, we're dismissed. Teams are allowed in this assessment, but points must be counted individually. As a mind mage, you can only play your best advantage in a team, so go find a team of your choice."

"Gather at the main square at this time tomorrow. No one is allowed to be late!"

An Yuan and Liu Yu looked at each other and walked out of the classroom side by side.

……

Four Kings Dormitory.

An Yuan: “You’re back.”

Song Xuanfei shrugged. "We in the Water and Wind Institutes don't have as few people as you in the Psychic Department. It will definitely take time to explain things clearly."

Lu Shizheng waved his hand, "The assessment content is to catch dimensional beasts, and they cannot be seriously injured. They are all very friendly to the four of us. The two violent magic types of lightning and fire will be caught blindly."

An Yuan: "The lightning and fire elements are very suitable for snatching credits. Let's not talk about this for now. Lao Song, do you have any new information?"

Song Xuanfei smiled and said, "I asked my sister. This time we invited a judge from the Judgment Council to use his dimensional beast as our assessment target."

Liu Yu was thoughtful:
"The academy has no shortage of high-level summoners, but they still want to hire outsiders. Is his dimensional beast very special?"

"Smart. His name is Zhao Yuxiu. The dimensional beast is a species called [Armored Ball Spirit]. It looks like a sphere covered with a shell. It is small in size and has wings. It moves nimbly. Its short burst speed can reach more than 40 meters per second. It is not good at attacking but is very good at hiding."

"When the time comes, we just need to break their shells, and even if we reach the defeat condition, they will send us the points ball on their own."

Lu Shi was surprised. "At a speed of more than 40 meters per second, I have to chase with all my strength to catch up with a slave?"

Liu Yu pushed his glasses and said with a smile, "It's really a magical race, but I don't know how strong their mental resistance is."

Song Xuanfei said, "It should be just normal level, so if we form a team of four, with you two strongest mind mages, we will have an advantage."

An Yuan said, "I might bring Ye Xinxia with me then. She's a healing mage and can help."

All three of them laughed: "Of course I'll bring your girlfriend."

"Our team is still short of a Destruction-type player, so let's call on Song Ziya, who is second in the Lightning-type. This way our team will be perfect."

"Okay, we'll distribute it based on contribution. One point can be exchanged for 1 yuan. In order to save money for spirit seeds, we'll all give our all in this assessment!" "Of course."

……

The next day.

Grand Place.

An Yuan pushed Ye Xinxia and met up with Song Xuanfei and the other three. After being introduced, he got to know the thunder mage Song Ziya.

"There are more than 800 people taking the test this time."

Song Xuanfei said:
"Unlike all students in your Psychic and Healing Departments who can participate, only the top 100 students in our Elemental Department are eligible to participate in this simulation exam. Students after the top 100 will be automatically eliminated."

The number of places for resource allocation like this is always limited, and only the top students in the institution are eligible. Students who are not selected can only receive basic resources, work hard to cultivate, and wait for the next opportunity to come forward.

Relatively speaking, the non-elemental system, which is sparsely populated, has the advantage.

Next, the dean of the branch gave a speech in the large square, and the heads of various departments led a team of more than 800 people to a natural forest on the edge of the university.

From a distance, An Yuan saw a man in a white judge uniform with gold patterns, standing among a group of teachers. When he saw them, a strong magical pressure erupted beside him, and invisible stars were arranged in a staggered manner around him, causing the air to distort.

"It's high-level magic!" "What a powerful aura!" "This is a high-level wizard!"

Beside An Yuan, students and some teachers were looking at the distance with longing. Judge Zhao Yuxiu released high-level magic. Just by his momentum, they could clearly feel the obvious gap even though they were a hundred meters away. They felt awe and envy in their hearts.

"Summon a tide of beasts!"

In just a few seconds, Zhao Yuxiu let out a low shout, and a huge silver portal suddenly rose up in front of him. A large number of dimensional beasts flew out of it, like a flock of migrating swallows, quickly entered the forest and quickly disappeared.

An Yuan observed carefully and found that the color of the armored spirit was between white, blue and pink. Apart from the wings that looked like birds and beasts, its body was wrapped in a round shell and was about one meter tall.

Countless dimensional beasts flew out from the dimensional door, as well as sporadic general-level [A-ball War Spirits], each of which was more than two people tall.

When all the dimensional beasts flew out, the dimensional gate closed.

The dean stood in front of the students and shouted:
"From this moment on, the assessment begins and will last until six o'clock tomorrow evening!"

……

The forest on the back hill of the university is planted with common poplar trees, most of which are many years old. They are tall and strong, with dense green leaves, and are full of green shade everywhere.

Hangzhou is located in the south and is even hotter in summer. The six people walked in the poplar forest to avoid the sun and keep cool and comfortable.

"Lingyi: Comfort."

An Yuan keenly noticed the spying in the tree, raised his head and released magic, and invisible ripples surged upwards.

Not long after, a ball spirit glided down from the tree like a drunk and landed on the ground.

When Song Xuanfei and the others discovered that An Yuan was casting magic, they stopped and saw the falling A-ball spirit. They looked at An Yuan in surprise, and held their breath and dared not make a sound, as if they were afraid that any sound would wake up the A-ball spirit.

“Bo…bo?”

The armored ball spirit lay on the ground, its white animal pupils showing from the gaps in its shell, looking at An Yuan quietly. Under the gaze of those pink, rippled eyes, all the emotions rising in his heart were soothed.
