Douluo II: The nanny is killing people indiscriminately!

Chapter 21 Advancement to the Knockout Round

On the first day of the freshman assessment, there was only one battle match, mainly to allow the candidates to adapt to this combat assessment mode.

Starting tomorrow, the intensity of the assessment will be greatly increased, with two assessments in the morning and afternoon, for a total of four. The third day will be even more severe, with each team having to take five assessments. The high-intensity schedule will undoubtedly place higher demands on the candidates' physical strength, energy, and practical ability.

Lian Chen and the others stayed to watch the third match. The overall level of the six one-ring soul masters was relatively low, and the match was basically nothing to watch, so they left halfway through.

Tang Ya was injured in the competition, and Lian Chen returned to the dormitory and made her a dose of medicine to treat the injury.

Tang Ya had kept her distance from the tonic prepared by Lian Chen after taking a sip.

The reason is simple: the medicine is too bitter.

Lian Chen drank a bowl of it every day without changing his expression, which led Tang Ya to suspect that there was something wrong with her taste buds.

Tang Ya picked up the medicine bowl that exuded a strong bitter smell, but was hesitant to drink it: "Lian Chen, do you really want to drink it? Is there no medicine that is not bitter?"

After three months of experimentation, Lian Chen had not yet found a better way to make medicine than decoction.

"You don't have to drink it, but we have four games waiting for us tomorrow. Are you sure you want to compete with your injury?" Lian Chen was picking up the medicine residue in his hands and threw the question back to Tang Ya.

Tang Ya suddenly felt like a deflated ball, losing all her strength to resist. The ranking of the freshman assessment would determine whether the freshmen would stay or go, so she didn't dare to take the risk of the competition.

Tang Ya took a deep breath, pinched her nose as if ready to die, and drank the medicine in one breath with her head tilted back.

An indescribable bitter taste spread in the mouth, strongly irritating the throat and stomach.

Seeing Tang Ya stuffing candy into her mouth crazily, Lian Chen said with amusement: "Just drink a few more times and it will be fine."

The people in this world have a very low tolerance for bitterness. When Xu Hongjing drank Chinese medicine for the first time, it was so bitter that he vomited it on the spot. Even Chen thought he was exaggerating.

Until she drank it herself... After drinking it a few more times, she gradually got used to it.

Tang Ya couldn't free her mouth to speak, she just kept waving her hands and shaking her head.

She never wants to take this medicine a second time!
……

The assessment began on the second day to evaluate the strength of the participating teams from District 12. Only Fang Xiu's team was strong enough to compete with Lian Chen and his team.

Tang Ya recovered to her best form and, together with Lian Chen and Bei Bei, won four games as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, achieving a good result of five wins in five games.

The team that loses all five games will be eliminated, and the remaining teams will re-draw for regional assessment.

When drawing lots, considering that teams from the same class would not clash and Lian Chen's record of winning five games in a row, the venue for the third day's competition would still be District 12, and they would be the first seeded team to play.

The five assessment teams newly assigned to District 12 certainly do not have the first place in other regions, so in the next five round-robin matches, they will not encounter the strongest opponents, but they will not win as easily as they did yesterday.

Unexpectedly, Tang Ya and Bei Bei showed their hidden weapons, and the "Entanglement" soul skill was activated, and the hidden weapons hit the target every time.

Lian Chen won all five games without having to make any moves. Their team won ten games in a row, won first place in District 12, and advanced to the next round of the knockout round of sixty-four.

The next day, it was Zhou Yi's class again, and Lian Chen came to the classroom early.

The bell rang and Zhou Yi walked into the classroom with a rare smile on her face.

Putting down the documents in her hand, she supported herself on the podium with both hands and said, "After three days of competition, the freshman assessment has been completed. The final results were counted last night."

After hearing what she said, the students in the class immediately perked up.

Zhou Yi continued, "Our class one's results are pretty good. All nine groups passed the freshman assessment and advanced to the top 64 knockout round. I'm very pleased."

"Wow--" The whole classroom suddenly became lively, filled with students cheering and making noises. Zhou Yi was also very generous today, and waited until they were excited enough before patting the table: "Okay, quiet down."

The students quickly quieted down.

"Don't be happy too soon. Passing the freshman assessment can only ensure that you will stay in the academy until at least the end of the first year and won't be easily eliminated. And that's only the first year. If you want to stay in the academy or even be promoted to the inner courtyard, you must work hard. Do you understand?" Zhou Yi did not forget to knock on their chests while they were excited.

"Besides, you just passed the freshman assessment. There is nothing to be proud of. Your competition is not over yet. The next elimination round will be the time to truly prove your excellence."

"In this round-robin competition for freshmen assessment, five teams won all the games, but our class only had one team. I want to give them a little reward." Zhou Yi's eyes fell on Lian Chen: "Lian Chen, Tang Ya, Bei Bei, the three of you come to my office after class."

"Okay, let's go to class."

……

After class, on the way to the office, Tang Ya asked expectantly: "What do you think the old aunt will give us as a reward?"

Beibei rubbed her head and said, "I don't know. You'll know when you get there."

Tang Ya slapped Bei Bei's hand away and glared at him angrily: "How dare you rub my head? You don't know how to respect your teacher!"

Beibei immediately raised his hands and admitted his mistake: "I was wrong, Teacher Xiaoya."

The two were still playing around, and were about to reach Zhou Yi's office, so Lian Chen reminded them, "Okay, we're almost at Teacher Zhou's office."

"Oh." Tang Ya calmed down and went up to knock on the office door.

"Knock-"

"come in."

With Zhou Yi's permission, Tang Ya pushed open the door, and the three of them filed in and saw Zhou Yi sitting in her office.

Zhou Yi pointed to the sofa next to her and said, "Everyone, sit down."

She opened the drawer, took out a brocade box and a document, and placed the brocade box on the coffee table in front of Lian Chen and the others.

"Here, this is your reward."

"Thank you, Teacher Zhou." Lian Chen nodded to Zhou Yi to express his gratitude, and Bei Bei and Tang Ya also quickly followed suit to express their gratitude.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhou!"

Zhou Yi added: "There is only one reward. You can discuss who to give it to after you go back. If there is nothing else, you can go back."

Lian Chen sat on the sofa without moving: "Teacher Zhou, I want to know which of the other four teams won all the victories."

Zhou Yi snorted and handed over the document in his hand.

"It's all here, take a look for yourself."

Lian Chen opened the file and three heads came together to look at it.

"You don't need to look too closely at Team Xiang Feng and Team Chu Qingyang. They are no match for you. You should focus on Team Wen Shuying from Class 4 and Team Mu Chuan from Class 9, especially the one from Class 9."

　Thank you for the votes today. Hehe, please give me more votes tomorrow~
