Shi Wang Qiang? Have you ever heard of the Emperor Armor!

Chapter 24: Horrible elimination rate! A test of the survival of the fittest!

"I hope the random enemies are easier."

"Don't think about it. The enemies in the Trial Secret Realm are generated according to your strength. It's better to practice hard than to pray for this."

"However, I seem to have heard that the format of this year's trial is a little different?"

"There's this matter? Tell me in detail!"

Before the secret trial, all the freshmen were waiting on the playground.

They knew very well that after this trial, 10% of them would leave.

Therefore, no one wants to be one of them.

Listening to the whispers ringing in his ears, Lin Ling couldn't help but shook his head.

Indeed, as Bai Li said the day before yesterday, there have been some reforms to this year's trial.

Moreover, the form of the change is quite unexpected.

If I'm not mistaken, someone will make the announcement soon.

Sure enough, just as he expected, amid the discussions, a figure walked onto the stage.

"Cough cough!"

After coughing twice, Ye Chen glanced at the students below the stage and released all of his seventh-level pressure.

In just a moment, the crowd that was noisy just now fell into silence.

Under the extremely strong pressure, many people couldn't help but bend over, their faces covered with sweat.

Seeing this scene, the instructors present all shook their heads.

"The number of students here is really getting worse with each passing year."

"But let's be honest, with the seventh-level aura of the dean, it would be difficult for us to resist, let alone these students."

"Indeed, the gap in realm is too huge."

"Wait! Look, there's a student still standing!"

"What a great talent! I have reserved this student! Don't compete with me for this one!"

Among the crowd of people bending over, Lin Ling, the only one standing, stood out.

His performance also attracted the attention of many instructors.

"It's him?"

Ye Chen naturally noticed this as well.

The moment he saw Lin Ling, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He is indeed the genius that I have chosen. He can remain so calm even in the face of the pressure from a seventh-level master!
However, after all, it was in public, and in order to maintain the dean's authority, Ye Chen's face remained serious and his voice was full of coldness.

"You guys, I am so disappointed!"

"It's just a little pressure, but it makes you bend your back!"

"If you join the army in the future and face those terrifying beasts, do you also want to kneel down and beg them to spare your life?"

After hearing this, many students lowered their heads in shame.

Just as Ye Chen said, as long as they persist a little longer, they might be able to hold their heads high and protect their dignity.

But faced with the terrifying pressure, they shamefully chose to give up.

"But you have only just awakened."

Seeing that the show of force had almost paid off, Ye Chen withdrew his pressure, and even his expression softened a lot.

"The next four years of your academy career will not only teach you how to practice your heritage, but will also temper your will!"

"I can tell you in advance that the Dark Dragon Academy's death quota will be used every year!"

"If anyone feels that they can't stand it, it's not too late to quit now!"

No one stepped out. "In that case, I assume that you are all ready to die."

Seeing this, Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction.

"Now, I will announce this year's selection rules!"

Hearing this, all the students present raised their heads, with curious looks on their faces.

Before today, they also heard rumors that the trial would be reformed, but they didn't know the specific details.

Now, I can finally resolve the confusion in my heart!

"For this trial, you will no longer participate as individuals, but will be randomly divided into teams!"

"After this, each team will head to the border where the Seventh Legion is stationed and survive in the designated area for three days!"

"That is to say, you need to discuss countermeasures in advance and cooperate with each other to pass the trial!"

As the words fell, the sound of surprise echoed throughout the entire playground.

Before this, they had speculated on what form the assessment would take.

But what no one expected was that this time the assessment would be conducted in the form of group survival!

Compared to individual battles, team battles are obviously much more difficult!
Although the saying that there is strength in numbers is true in some cases, it is a fallacy more often than not.

If you are fighting alone, you can change your fighting method at any time according to the changes on the battlefield.

But once a team is formed, everyone thinks differently.

Unless, it is a pre-trained existence like the Legion.

Otherwise, for this hastily assembled team, we should be thankful if they don’t hold each other back.

Not to mention, achieving exquisite coordination in battle.

The most important thing is, according to Ye Chen, the members of each team are selected randomly.

This also means that if you draw a bad teammate, the difficulty of passing the selection will be further increased.
"Is it really a team battle?"

Compared to the surprise of the people around him, Lin Ling felt nothing at all.

The rules announced by Ye Chen were similar to what Bai Li told him.

In fact, whether it is a team battle or an individual battle, it doesn’t make much difference to him.

If your teammates are really terrible, the worst that can happen is that you have to clear the level by yourself.

Anyway, the rules don’t say that everyone needs to survive.

"Now, start announcing the list!"

The pressure on his body was released again. Seeing that the noise was suppressed, Ye Chen took out a piece of paper from his arms and began to read out the members of each team.

".Lin Ling, Team 10!"

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Lin Ling finally heard his name.

And, his name seems to be the last one.

"Ten teams in total?"

Lin Ling, who noticed this, couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

If I remember correctly, this trial will eliminate the last 10% of students.

That is to say, among these ten teams, there will definitely be one team that will not be able to return to the academy.

Compared with the previous individual assessment format, this group trial is obviously more cruel.

If everyone is going to be active in one area, then what they need to guard against is not only the strange beasts that may appear at any time, but also the backstabs from other teams!

This kind of assessment that emphasizes the survival of the fittest actually appeared in the freshman trial that was supposed to be a test of the students' basics. It was indeed a bit strange.
Just as Lin Ling was deep in thought, a sarcastic voice suddenly sounded.

"No way! There's actually a loser in our team who chose the armor inheritance?!"
