Reject me, you damn woman.

Not to mention the natural competitive nature of the competition, which can be said to involve countless absent enemies.

But this is just the periphery. In the center of the Misty Valley is a gloomy castle called "Misty Valley Count's Castle". Although it is completely random, the real high-level reward items, such as magic scrolls or permanent wonders, and the symbol of victory - the Cup of Spring, will only be refreshed within the fortress.

Therefore, most of the students who passed the simple trial by luck or felt that their strength was not enough, scattered around as soon as they entered the valley, hoping to rely on luck to get a reward before being eliminated.

"That's great. Thanks to Dean Soljana's random proposal, the students have become more active."

"Yes, if I were still a student, I would definitely be full of motivation. After all, it is different from previous years when I could only be cannon fodder. This time, even students with weak abilities may get good rewards."

In the audience, the teachers were already praising Soljana like crazy, and the students had similar thoughts, feeling envious of those who could pass the trial.

Instead, the energetic Soljana herself just sat on a chair that was a circle higher than other teachers, supporting her chin with one hand, as if she was expecting something.

Stupid and ignorant guys, you have no idea the value of the four words "completely random"!

Soon, the style of the trial began to feel strange.

"Oh my god, what's going on? We finally passed two trials and solved four riddles, but the reward is a swimsuit photo of the principal!"

"You're still lucky. Our captain just married himself off in exchange for joining forces with several other teams to hunt down a third-level monster. The reward is another one."

"I landed right after teleporting and landed right in the middle of a pack of demon wolves. Luckily, my teammates didn't run as fast as I did, so I was able to escape. Is there anyone more miserable than me?"

As the trial continued, the word "completely random" gradually began to show its fangs to the contestants. Under layers of protection was the autographed photo of the dean, and there was a chance of picking up an arcane scroll if one tripped over a stone on the road. But the key point was that the number of the former was far greater than the latter, and most of the contestants were soon tortured to the point of howling like ghosts and wolves, and roaring from the bottom of their hearts.

"I can't stand it. Why are all the safe zones filled with unsafe monsters?"

"RNM, withdraw from the competition! I want to withdraw from the competition!"

“Hehehe, you didn’t really think that you got something for free, did you? Now let me tell you, the reason why you can get so many rewards in the trial level is because all the props that were originally going to appear in the formal exam have been sent out by the principal in advance, so that those little guys who are trying to fish in troubled waters will know that there is no free lunch in the world!”

Soljana laughed proudly with her hands on her hips. Obviously, this was the situation she wanted to see more than just a happy atmosphere.

"So, Dean, what did you replace the treasure chest that was supposed to be the reward item with?"

a teacher asked.

"Then do you still need to ask?"

Soljana shook her bare white feet, looking very proud.

"Of course I'll change it to my autographed photo, Dean. How about that? Pretty good, right?"

Only you will think it’s great!

The teachers around her fell silent after hearing her words, and the student audience seats, which were originally full of joy, also became silent.

Although it was interesting to see the contestants get humiliated, they suddenly realized that if they hadn’t had a slightly “bad” luck when drawing the trial, they would have been the one put into this “Screaming Forest”…

Of course, there are some people who have not been affected much. For those students who already have the strength to participate in the Cup of Spring, Soljana's operation is like hell, but it only transfers the enemies that they originally faced in the later stages of the level. In the early stage, it just takes a little more effort.

After figuring out the current situation, many elite senior students have begun looking for companions from the same college, temporarily forming an alliance into a team, and slowly advancing towards the Fog Valley Castle.

"Relax, see? These little tricks are meaningless to the real elites. What's more, I didn't gather you elite teachers and students here just to watch the game. Do you understand?"

Listening to Solgana's words, Gust and several other great arcanists nodded.

The normal Spring Cup event was not enough to gather all these elite teachers here. Their real purpose was to find the enemies who might have lurked in the trial, and then catch those bastards who dared to challenge Eden Academy as quickly as possible without affecting the competition!

“Hey, it seems like there are some very good students too?”

Soljana suddenly raised her eyebrows.

At this moment, the perspective of the magic screen happened to be on a girl wearing a sky blue battle skirt and silver armor. She clenched her hands and suddenly waved them. The monster in front of her was cut in half as if chopped by an invisible giant sword. Blood splattered, and the blood was reflected by the girl's golden hair.

"Is she an elite student of the Knight Academy? Whose student is she?"

"No, she is not our student. She is the girl from the palace."

Soljana said, holding her cheek.

"It's Princess Noraville. I thought the fourth princess of the royal family was just here to deal with the event, but I didn't expect her to be such a strong knight!"

Some teachers couldn't help but nod frequently.

Idiot, no!

Solgana curled her lips. She remembered that this little princess who killed the top ten elites of the Golden Academy in seconds during the trial level caused her to lose face in front of Gust.

Although she is dressed and dressed like a knight, the "invisible sword" in her hand that is powered by magic is an authentic magic-driven wonder.

The dual-attribute arcane barrier of wind and light distorted the vision, making the sword impossible to observe, but it was still extremely sharp.

A melee arcanist?

interesting.

But then again, as far as I know, her purpose of participating in the competition is actually to...

The screen switched again, and a handsome and handsome face appeared on the magic screen. It was Lin En!

“Ahhh, Your Highness Lin En, you are so handsome even on the screen, I want to lick you so much!”

"Is that guy Lynn Norton? I heard that he was the one who killed the boss of the final trial in advance."

The appearance of Lin En finally livened up the atmosphere in the audience and caused a small climax.

"Good boy, you finally came out!"

Solgana stood on the chair excitedly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Ahem, I mean, Lin En is the favorite to win this time, let the magic screen stay on him for a while longer."

Soljana cleared her throat and said calmly.

The teacher in charge of controlling the magic screen changed his expression slightly.

Lin En’s performance when he first entered school was indeed excellent, but he was just a freshman. How could he be called the favorite to win by the principal himself?

But maybe the principal has her own reasons for saying this.

In fact, Solgana's heart was really filled with joy.

Are you threatening the dean? Are you asking for cheats on the map?

For you, for you!

Then just take that completely upside-down map and make a fool of yourself in front of everyone!

However, what was strange was that Lin En just sat quietly in the forest with his eyes slightly closed, not moving a muscle. The screen observed him for about thirty seconds, and the picture did not change.

"Your Highness Lin En looks handsome even when he's still...but can you move a little?"

"Is it stuck? The audience should not even think about the academy's arcane magic network. The contestants are stuck!"

"It's not stuck. You can see that the fog behind him is still moving."

The teachers and Solgana were also a little puzzled. If they looked closely, they would find that Lin En's position was not far from the starting point, which meant that he had basically not moved since entering the forest.

Among them, Solgana was the one who was most confused about Lin En's thoughts. Others didn't know, but she knew that Lin En had a map in his hand. Why was he standing there in a daze instead of opening the treasure chest with the map?

However, at this moment, Lynn finally opened his eyes.

"Perceived!"

As the most difficult trial map, the Misty Forest has many dangers, but the biggest challenge is actually not the Warcraft or other players, but the forest itself.

The stacked up Jianmu trees and the fog lingering around the field of vision will constantly make people lose their way, thus causing them to get lost. Even if they can temporarily identify the direction, once they encounter monsters or other accidents, they may get lost again.

Therefore, when contestants participate in competitions, they usually have companions who are good at identifying directions, or simply prepare corresponding magic scrolls and strange objects. Lin En is no exception.

His original plan was to choose a rare object that could identify directions from Dean Solgana's treasure house, but that was obviously a bit too wasteful.

Fortunately, the rejection value obtained from the Queen Mother some time ago allowed Lin En to barely select a basic skill from the dragon transformation skill tree.

And Lin En chose "Dragon Soul".

This skill is not exclusive to any kind of dragon, but a universal basic skill.

This ability dragonizes not the body, but the mind and soul. When this skill is activated, Lin En's mental power and soul strength will be greatly enhanced, which has the effect of enhancing perception and improving mental resistance.

It’s just because Lin En’s level is relatively low, sometimes his mental power will be identified as a dragon by some extremely powerful soul magic, which may cause unnecessary trouble.

But it shouldn’t matter in the Cup of Spring. After all, they are just newcomers and no one can master advanced soul arcana.

At this time, with the dragon soul and Lin En's own perception of the wind attribute that he is good at, he has vaguely determined the location of "Foggy Valley Castle".

Yes, Lin En’s goal was not those so-called rewards from the beginning, which was why he was so happy to hand over the map given by the dean to Historia and the others.

His real target from the beginning was Fog Valley Castle.

"To put it bluntly, in the so-called Spring Cup event, it doesn't matter how many prizes you get or how many enemies you defeat. The only way to win is to pick up the Spring Cup."

As for the fastest way to get from one point to another, there is no doubt about it.

Thinking of this, Lin En took out a blue and a red card from the deck he had prepared early in the morning, fused them together, and threw them forward.

Boom! !

Accompanied by fierce explosions and dust, the fog was violently lifted, revealing a path. The giant trees and bushes that originally blocked the way forward were instantly shattered, and a straight road without any fog instantly appeared in front of Lin En.

"Fuck, is this even possible??!"

The students in the audience were stunned. No one had ever participated in the Spring Cup in this way before. They didn't want any marginal rewards, but just rushed into the central fortress fiercely.

Although it seemed a little outrageous when I first saw it, but when I think about it carefully, he is really a genius!

Those so-called hidden rewards in the map are valuable, but can they be as valuable as the championship rewards?

Moreover, Lin En used magic to directly open a path without adjusting the route at all, so there was no risk of getting lost. The explosion and aftermath caused by the arcane would also scare the other contestants and the beasts in the forest. We are not idiots, and no one would want to take this level of fusion magic on their face.

The symbols of other players and monsters on the magic screen immediately moved away from Lin En, and only a few stubborn monsters showed no intention of moving.

At this time, Lin En didn't know that he had opened a new door for all the Spring Cup participants who came after him.

But the most shocking one was definitely Soljana.

No, is he sick?

Solgana, who saw Lin En's intention to pass the level quickly, had a depressed face that turned red.

If you want to speedrun, just do it. Why are you asking me for a map?

The only thing more frustrating than a failed prank is being simply ignored!

"He stopped!"

Someone suddenly said.

At this moment, the audience suddenly realized that from the beginning of the action to now, Lin En had advanced quite a distance and had performed the fusion arcane many times, but an important problem also followed, that is, Lin En's total magic power was about to reach the bottom.

After all, he was only a second-ring arcanist. He couldn't withstand the consumption of continuously releasing such powerful fusion arcane that could even change the terrain.

"How did His Highness Lin En hear that? Hurry up, don't stop."

"I guess I don't have enough magic power, but there should be supplies in the arena."

"It's okay, it's okay,"

Soljana breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought this little bastard was going to charge into Fog Valley Fortress in one go, but in the end he still has to do the challenge to find supplies."

In order to prevent students from consuming too much energy and being unable to participate in subsequent competitions, some challenges will give players some supplies such as magic stones after the end. Soljana is of course marked on the map.

But there is no doubt that those challenges that involve supplies are all high-risk, low-reward types!

"Go, go quickly, there is a nest of a third-level magical beast, the snow leopard, next to you. It has been getting restless because of your bombardment!"

Solgana began to cheer for Lin En crazily in her heart. It was not shameful for the little dragon of the Norton family to challenge a strong enemy in a weak state. I, Solgana, will eat up this screen!

However, in full view of everyone, Lin En did not change the route he had already decided on, and he did not even move.

He waved his hand gracefully, and a lush green gem appeared in Lin En's hand. As the gem's light dimmed, Lin En's breath quickly recovered.

"Magic stone?!"

Solgana was unconscious, and with magic stones to replenish her magic power, Lin En naturally didn't need to look for any supplies.

But how could Lin En have a reserve of magic stones? After thinking for a moment, Solgana stomped her feet in anger.

Damn Tivella!

He actually stabbed me in the back!

Old woman, didn’t you say you would reject all requests from that boy?
