Chapter 150: The Art of Killing

The non-rescreening assessment area of ​​Wanshou Star, the monitoring room.

As time goes by, all 84 zodiac challenge points have been discovered by martial artists, and almost every challenge point has welcomed a large number of challenges and attempts from martial artists. Even for the most difficult Tianshu zodiac, these young boys and girls who are fearless like newborn calves are not afraid at all.

In addition to the zodiac challenge points, the re-screening site of Wanshou Star is also equipped with nearly 100,000 automatic tracking and monitoring instruments. These instruments were originally used to ensure that no star beasts escape during the hunting period, and are now used to monitor the situation of the re-screening contestants.

Each contestant will be assigned 1 to 2 monitoring devices. The monitoring images will undergo a first round of artificial intelligence screening. Valuable images such as fighting and chasing will appear in the monitoring room after screening for evaluation by teachers from Beidou Qiwu University in the monitoring room.

At this moment, a teacher in the monitoring room looked at a certain picture and shook his head slightly, "Are you still choosing to delay time..."

"What's wrong, Lao Zhou?" The teacher next to him looked over with a smile, "Which surveillance camera are you watching?"

"Yaoguanghu's." Teacher Zhou pointed at the screen he saw. "This challenger performed very well in the first round, killing the enemy quickly and neatly, but in the second round he chose to be roundabout and delay. In this way, it is very difficult to kill all of them."

Just by dodging for 180 seconds, he could pass the zodiac challenge, but it would obviously not catch the eyes of the Beidou Qiwuda teacher.

Because Chu Mu chose the more difficult route of killing, Teacher Zhou focused his attention on him.

"Few students today have ever faced a star beast, so it's normal for them to be at a loss." The teacher who asked the question smiled, "Besides, this ankylosaur star beast looks thick-skinned and tough, so it's hard to kill."

"Old Zhou, you are too harsh. If you ask me, why do we have to kill them all? As long as we can kill one or two, the pressure of surviving the remaining star beasts will be greatly reduced, and it will be easier to reach the challenge time."

"That's true." Teacher Zhou's expression eased slightly, "We can't completely apply the requirements of our Beidou Qiwu University to these students."

After figuring this out, he looked at the teacher who was chatting with him and asked, "Lao Li, which surveillance camera are you watching?"

"Tianshu Snake." Teacher Li smiled, with a strange look in his eyes, "I found a good seedling."

"Tianshu Snake?" Teacher Zhou showed a surprised look, "It must be quite something to be called a good seedling by you."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze towards the surveillance camera corresponding to the Tianshu Snake.

In the surveillance footage, a handsome young man was walking in a secret room full of traps. He was surrounded by dangerous objects such as steel knives and sharp spikes, but he was walking as usual with a calm and composed look.

"I remember... the snake challenge tests calmness and logical thinking, and the Tianshu snake is the most difficult challenge."

Teacher Zhou looked thoughtful. "To pass the level, you need to solve 72 puzzles. If you get one wrong, you will be attacked extremely terribly. With the strength of a beginner, one such attack is enough to severely injure him."

"How much has he untied?"

"He has solved 38 of them." Teacher Li at the side smiled, "Another point is that he is not in the Tengkong Realm, but only in the Nayuan Realm."

"Such a dangerous attack is not just a serious blow to him. If he endures it once, he will definitely die." Teacher Li pointed to a corner of the surveillance screen. A man wearing a snake head mask was following closely behind, not daring to relax at all.

"Bold but careful, dancing on the tip of a knife." Teacher Zhou took a breath and showed an amazed expression, "Logically speaking, those who are good at snake challenges are most suitable for Tianquan Wuda, but we should at least try."

"Yes." Teacher Li nodded in agreement, and then changed the subject, "The boy you saw earlier seemed to be different from what you imagined."

"Huh?" Teacher Zhou was stunned for a moment, then turned his gaze back to the surveillance screen corresponding to the Yaoguang Tiger. He stared at the scene on the screen with his eyes widened.

"this!!!"
-
"Chong-"

The sound of metal clashing echoed in the empty arena. Chu Mu's figure was like a ghost, and he was the first to kill the tiger that pounced on him. When his figures crossed, only a flash of cold light passed by. When the two sides changed positions, the tiger's blood spurted out more than ten meters away, and it fell to the ground with a roar.

"The first one."

Without even looking at the fallen tiger behind him, Chu Mu seemed to have eyes on his back. The red hook knife in his hand instantly flew out of his hand, carrying with it a surging source of power like an arrow shot from a bow, and pierced towards the bird-like star beast that was flapping its wings hard in the air.

The bird-like star beast originally wanted to swoop down, but when it saw the tiger being killed instantly, it had already begun to retreat. It flapped its wings and was about to return to the sky, but unexpectedly a long knife had already stabbed towards its chest.

Unable to dodge in time, the terrified bird-like star beast could only twist its body with all its might, causing the long knife that was about to pierce its chest to pierce its side instead.

The source of power with the cutting properties burst out instantly, and the wound was torn apart by an unknown force, bringing out a large amount of blood. The barbed structure at the front end of the long sword made the long sword hook the flesh and blood like a fishhook, and the bird star beast struggled and rolled, constantly aggravating its injuries.

The intense pain caused the bird-like star beast to let out a terrifying roar, and its eyes instantly turned red. The animal nature overwhelmed its reason at this moment, causing it to ignore the serious injuries on its body and rush towards Chu Mu madly, determined to tear this human to pieces.

And Chu Mu on the ground, after throwing that knife, his eyes had already fallen on the Ankylosaurus Star Beast.

Through his transparent vision, he saw the structural weaknesses of the three star beasts in an instant, and also knew the reason why he had been unable to do anything to the ankylosaur star beast before.

Its weakness is not its body, but its tail.

By stabbing along the end of the tail, you can penetrate its heart and end its life.

Chu Mu had encountered an ankylosaur star beast in the Star Abyss before. The opponent not only had a sturdy exoskeleton, but also a tail hammer as powerful as a meteor hammer. In contrast, this ankylosaur star beast had a shorter tail, and it had never used it as a means of attack, it could only ram.

Chu Mu didn’t take it seriously before, but now it seems that this is the opponent’s way of protecting himself. By always facing the opponent, he won’t be attacked from the tail.

However, now that his weakness has been seen through, killing this big guy with thick skin and flesh that gave him a headache is no longer a difficult task.

Taking advantage of his footwork and the opponent's clumsy movements, Chu Mu easily got behind the Ankylosaurus Star Beast and stabbed out with the Zhuhong Knife in his hand instantly. With a "puff" sound, the Ankylosaurus Star Beast, which could only respond in a roundabout way just now, fell to the ground with a bang.

"The second one." Pulling out the Zhuhong Sword, Chu Mu turned around and killed the bird-like star beast that was determined to fight with him to the death.

"You are not the only one who can fly." He murmured softly, and the rolling source power surged under his feet. At the same time, the long sword in his hand drew a long blood-red rainbow in the void and accurately slashed at the bird in the sky.

With one strike of the sword, Chu Mu pulled out the red hook sword that was inserted into the opponent's body. The source of power under his feet trembled in the void and fell back to the ground calmly.

The next second, the bird's huge body with a wingspan of nearly seven meters was split into two and fell to the ground with a bang.

Chu Mu shook off the blood on the knife and put it back into the sheath.

"The third one."

After doing all this, Chu Mu raised his head and looked at the Yaoguang Tiger in the audience.

"Senior, my challenge should be considered complete, right?"

Yaoguanghu looked at Chu Mu deeply, his expression beneath the mask full of astonishment and confusion.

Three eighth-level star beasts were killed in just ten seconds.

With her own strength, it is not difficult to do this, but the strength of the young man in front of her is much weaker than her, but he can also do it.

It seems that she was wrong.

I thought that this young man chose to take a detour in the second round because he was unable to fight again, but I didn't expect that he actually wanted to deal with the star beasts in the second and third rounds in one go.

"Passed." Yaoguanghu jumped down from the audience seats and sighed slightly in his heart.

Because of the high risk, there were not many martial arts students participating in her challenge. Now Chu Mu has passed it successfully, which means that the failure rate of the challenge she designed has been reduced a lot.

This time, I lost money!

"Here are your 20 tokens." Yaoguanghu counted out 20 tokens, handed them to Chu Mu, and then snapped his fingers.

Intelligent sweepers in the form of robots quickly appeared and took away the corpses of the four star beasts.

These star beasts can be used to extract source blood, and can also be used to make various cultivation resources, so they cannot be wasted.

Chu Mu took the token and then looked around.

Unlike the stadium of Kaiyang Niu, there seemed to be no hidden passages in this arena. Apart from the entrance he came in through, there was only the entrance for the star beasts. Thinking of this, Chu Mu showed a friendly smile.

"Senior, may I ask, do you have a hidden safe passage here?"

"Safe passage?" Yaoguanghu glanced at Chu Mu, with a look of realization in his eyes, "You came from Kaiyangniu, right?"

"Yes." Chu Mu nodded, a little surprised.

I just mentioned the safe passage, and Yaoguanghu knew that I had been to Kaiyangniu?
"Kaiyang Niu is from Tianquan Martial Arts University. Although their school is a martial arts university, it values ​​literature. So when designing challenges, they leave some backdoors for smart people, which is what you call a safe passage."

Yaoguanghu crossed his arms and said, "I'm not interested in these things. Finding a way to keep the token is one of the key points of your assessment."

It seems that there is no similar passage here that can lead directly to the outside world. Chu Mu nodded with a little regret, and then caught another key point in Yaoguanghu's words, "Kaiyang Niu, isn't it Kaiyang Martial Arts University?"

"The level of the zodiac sign depends on the difficulty of the zodiac challenge." Yaoguanghu crossed his arms, "We first determine the corresponding zodiac sign, then design the content of the challenge according to the corresponding zodiac sign's challenge requirements, and finally compare the same zodiac signs and determine the level according to the difficulty."

"Kaiyang Ox means that his challenge is the second to last in terms of difficulty among ox challenges, just like I am Yaoguang Tiger, which means that the challenge I designed is the easiest among tiger challenges. That's all, and it has nothing to do with which martial arts university we come from."

Perhaps it was because Chu Mu showed excellent results among the re-screened candidates, or perhaps it was because the challenge was over, Yaoguanghu became more talkative and no longer had his previous cold look.

"So that's how it is." Chu Mu showed a look of realization.

He thought that the level would be determined based on the school they came from, and then the challenge would be designed, but he didn't expect it to be the exact opposite.

"So, senior sister, which Wuhan University are you from?" Chu Mu asked curiously.

"As for me..." A hint of pride appeared on the face under the Yaoguanghu mask, "I'm from Tianshu Martial Arts University, and I'm a sophomore."

Tianshu?!
Chu Mu showed a surprised expression.

This is the strongest among the Seven Military Universities of the Big Dipper.

I didn’t expect that this senior with the lowest challenge level actually came from the top martial arts university among the seven martial arts universities.

This contrast is interesting.

The robot's cleaning efficiency was extremely high. After a few minutes, only the bloodstains that could not be cleaned were left on the field. Compared to when Chu Mu came in, the bloodstains on the field had obviously increased, and the smell of blood lingering in the field was also stronger.

"Come on, it's time for us to go out."
