Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

After a few days of training, Xu Turk had a general understanding of the day's routine. As long as Xuer didn't directly ask him to stand up and continue, the time he spent lying on the ground was precious rest time.

He simply relaxed his body and lay on the ground to recover his strength, while not forgetting to complain.

But before he could rest for long, a pair of black "shoes" appeared in his field of vision.

He knew whose shoes they belonged to.

"Can we rest a little longer?"

"[Negative] Your strength has fully recovered. No further rest is necessary."

Xuel's ruthless announcement made Xu Tark look sad.

“Ugh—”

Although he had a crying face, he still got up obediently and gripped his weapon again.

Although his thoughts are the same as those of ordinary people, Xu Tark's warrior will is real. He says he wants to escape, but when he really faces it, he will not give up easily.

During training, every day for Hugh Turk is like this.

Because he was fully immersed in the training, he did not pay attention to the passage of time. Every time when Xuer notified him that the training was over, Xutark would realize that the day had passed.

Of course, the necessary "eating" was not omitted. After all, energy replenishment is necessary, but the "food" provided by Xuel... is hard to describe.

In the evening, after finishing the training, Xutar used his battle axe as a crutch, supporting himself as he walked away step by step.

Xuul stared at the other person's tired back until he disappeared behind the city gate, but Xuul did not leave, as if he was waiting for something.

Finally, five minutes after Hugh Tark left, other sounds were heard in the woods behind Shul.

A figure walked out of the dense forest and came behind him.

"Lord Shuer."

Xuer turned around, and the first thing that came into his sight was a head of pink hair and huge horns protruding from the hair and pointing straight into the sky. It was Aura.

However, the one in front of him was Aura, who had been [controlled] by Xuel and had completely turned into a puppet.

After all, he is a great demon who has lived for more than 500 years. Instead of killing him directly, it is better to control him and create more "benefits" for himself.

Like, now.

"[Question] Have you found any other demons?"

"Yes, I have found one. He is a great demon like me."

"..."

Juxuer calculated that the world had undergone tremendous changes due to the intervention of the ruling machine, and the biggest change was to the demons.

Because of the "Xuer's lightning attack on the Demon King's Castle" that year, all the demons in the Demon King's Castle and the surrounding areas were wiped out by Xuer, and most of the top combat forces among the demons were wiped out by Xuer, and even the Demon King was not spared.

After that, Shuul and his disciples continued to hunt down the demons scattered around the world. Even after he "disappeared" one day, his disciples continued to hunt down the demons.

In addition, humans’ crusade against the demons after that led to the current situation of the demons, which can almost be called rare animals.

Therefore, the result that Aura spent a lot of time but only found one fellow tribesman was something that "Xuer" had already calculated.

However, he calculated many possibilities, but in the end he only applied for the one with the lowest return. But it's better to have something than nothing.

For this clone, as long as Aura can still bring even a little "benefit", he will not abandon the other party directly.

After getting the coordinates from Aura, Xuer asked Aura to continue looking for more information about the demons, while he himself disappeared through the space channel.

.......

Time unknowingly came to the day of the first round of the magician examination...

Today, Hugh Turk came to the training ground as usual, which was an area specially built for him by Shul.

According to Shuul, this was created by using a little bit of spatial ability and some magic power to create a replica of the command machine's [Combat Training Ground].

Xuul called it the [Imitation Combat Training Ground].

Although it is not as good as the real original and cannot be moved around as easily as the original, most of the functions within the venue have been restored.

Although Xutalk didn't fully understand Shul's description at first, he still understood a little bit that he should not have to fight with Shul anymore, so this was good news for him!

So after the training ground was successfully built, he fought in it every day with various "past fantasies", and also experienced many different types of enemies, gaining rich combat experience in dealing with different types of enemies.

But today, Shule did not let Hugh Turk enter the field as usual.

"[Inquiry] Have Fulilian and Feilun started the assessment?"

"Oh, you're talking about this. They went there early in the morning." As he spoke, Xutark seemed to remember something.

"Come to think of it, today is the last day, right?"

"【affim】"

According to the agreement, the special training ends on the same day the assessment begins, which is today.

For Hugh Turk, although this period was very difficult, his strength was also significantly improved.

"【Notice】Today is also your "final exam."

"Huh? An exam?"

"【Explanation】Test your training results."

"I understand. I'll do my best."

After saying that, Xutark plunged into the "gate" that Xuel opened for him and entered the [Simulated Combat Training Ground].

......

......

Xuul stood on a cliff and looked into the distance. There was a faint light in his eyes, and his gaze swept across the forest near a huge lake.

A barrier covered the lake and the nearby forest, and the area covered by the barrier was the venue for the first magician assessment.

Fulilian and the others were in the woods at the moment.

"Are you curious about this year's candidates?"

A voice sounded from behind him, but it did not attract Xiuer's attention.

Seeing that Xuul didn't respond, the blond elf was not surprised. He just walked to Xuul's side while talking and watched the "scenery" in the distance with him.

"...[Inquiry] Celia, what's going on?"

"Has it been discovered?"

Celie put on a smile, but she wasn't surprised, after all, she had no intention of hiding it.

"I'm curious, what kind of 'trial' will you prepare?"

"..."

Xiuer didn't answer, but he turned his head, and the two of them just looked at each other quietly. This scene lasted for 5 seconds before the former broke the silence first.

He raised one hand, and the next second, a golden sphere appeared above his palm.

Celie looked at the sphere with an expression of great interest on her face.

"Wow? That's really your style."

Obviously, she also saw what was inside the ball.

"But if that's the case, aren't you worried that all the candidates will fail?"

Regarding the content of the test, Celie never interfered with the thoughts of the examiners she chose, but she rarely raised questions about Xuer's [questions]. After all, that thing was definitely beyond the scope for these candidates.

"[Answer] If they can find the solution to the question, their result will be "passing." Otherwise..."

Xiuer didn't say anything else, and Celie understood what he meant.

"Never mind. With the 'tools' you provided, these people won't be in danger. Just do as you see fit."

She didn't mind these things, even if all of them failed. In Celie's opinion, failure could only mean that these candidates were not capable enough.

She didn't care about the safety of the candidates. In previous exams, many incompetent magicians lost their lives in the examination room.

Even though the demons have disappeared today, Celie still holds on to her previous ideas.

"This year's candidates are really lucky to have met someone like you."

After saying this, Celie left without looking back. As for what did she mean by "luck"?

Xiuer also understood the general idea.

Even when talking to Celiai, he did not interrupt his observation of the movements of people in the barrier.

Now that there is no interference from others, Xuer has returned to the "observation" state again.

......

Fulilian, who was walking in the woods with two teammates, suddenly stopped.

This action aroused the curiosity of the two women behind him.

"What's wrong, Flillian? Did you discover something?"

Fulilian looked in the direction she intuitively knew, then glanced at the metal ring on her wrist, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"No, it's nothing."

After saying that, she ignored the expressions of the two women and turned around to continue her action.

......

Chapter 64: Ready

Boom boom boom——

Xuer could see the entire scene within the barrier, and there were sounds of "battle" everywhere.

Whether in the sky or in the woods, the candidates are fighting their own battles everywhere.

Speaking of which, Xuer still remembered that the topic of this test was to catch a bird within the specified time.

While looking up the information, he tilted his head to look at his shoulder. A normal-looking bird was perched on his shoulder, grooming its feathers.

Meteorite Bird.

The bird that lives in this forest is a creature with a keen sense of magic.

Although it looks very harmless, when it encounters real danger, it can take off instantly and escape at supersonic speed.

The strength of its body and its powerful kinetic energy allow it to smash everything when it sprints. If you are hit by such a thing, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xuul quietly observed the bird on his shoulder. It was combing its feathers and occasionally looking at Xuul, as if it was curious about why the thing under its feet could walk by itself, but it did not show any vigilance towards Xuul.

"I'm puzzled. How could such a small body be able to unleash such extraordinary power? I guess this must be the wonder of the [magic] world."

Xuul had already left the cliff and came to the vicinity of the barrier. He did not rush in directly, but scanned the barrier in front of him.

"[The conclusion] is fragile, but it can prevent external factors from interfering with the exam."

Without any intention of entering the examination room, Xuer walked around the perimeter of the barrier as if he was sightseeing.

While observing the dynamics in the examination room, Xiuer was also observing and recording the creature on his shoulder.

"Ugh!"

Suddenly, accompanied by a few screams of pain, several figures fell out from the space channel opened in the barrier.

"..."

Because of the appearance of these people, the meteorite bird on his shoulder was startled and flew away, interrupting Xuer's plan to observe the meteorite bird.

He looked at the people who suddenly appeared in front of him. The attire of each of these people was in line with the identity of a magician. Coupled with the passage just now, it was a power that was no different from his ability.

So it is obvious that these people are candidates for the magician assessment, and the reason they appear here is simply because they triggered the life-saving mechanism of the "device" and were forcibly teleported out.

"We are not dead?" Several magicians covered in wounds stood up while enduring the pain.

But when he saw the barrier in front of him, he immediately became discouraged and sat down on the ground.
