Go back? There's no going back.

Looking at the scene on the projection, the Queen of the Empire was stunned.

Earlier, when she saw that Su Wei was now on the battle list and could even gain the upper hand against Princess Sainton, she was a little surprised.

Later, when she saw Princess Sainton drawing her quasi-saint sword when dealing with an opponent of the same level, her heart skipped a beat. For the first time, a bad thought arose in her mind... that she should have set the assessment rules more carefully.

But in the end, after a certain little brat in the projection slowly grasped Princess Sainton who was holding the quasi-sacred weapon, she still couldn't bear to blink until now.

At this moment, in the ears of the Empress of the Empire, the entire venue was shouting the name of a certain little kid.

"That child... is he so good at hands-on work?"

There was silence for a long time, until the picture on the projection froze and began to switch to the next arena where the winner had already been decided. Klenna swallowed slightly and subconsciously looked at her sister beside her.

"..."

However, what responded to her was her sister's equally... no, it was her sister's even more confused gaze.

Obviously, she didn't know about Su Wei's specific combat capabilities before.

On the high platform, the two of them just stared at each other.

Finally, after coming to her senses and realizing that a certain pretty talkative kid had safely entered the next round of auditions, the empress of the empire breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, compared to seeing the little bug being beaten into silence or even shot in the head by the magic gun, Krenna was more relieved to see that Su Wei did not follow the same fate as the previous few people.

"..."

On the side, seeing her sister's reaction clearly, the expression on Klina's face became more and more subtle.

Although she now had similar thoughts to her sister, and was indeed relieved that her small employer had passed the selection safely, but... her mood became a little complicated because of Su Wei's smooth practical ability just now.

Because she suddenly remembered the test of the puppet in the training camp before. When she scored 99 points with the hilt of the sword, Su Wei's reaction was vaguely disappointed...

Feelings… She didn’t feel wrong at the time?

Thinking of this, a mischievous blush suddenly appeared on Klina's face.

It was ridiculous that at that time, she was still thinking about giving the other party a little shock as a quasi-legendary hunter...

But soon, Klina noticed another thing.

She and her young employer were already friends, so it was normal for her to react a little more strongly.

But why...why would my sister's reaction be so strong? Even stronger than hers?

Su Wei is not her brother.

And these two people have met... probably only twice, right?

Even if he saw Su Wei taking care of that annoying Princess Sainton, it shouldn't have come to that point, right?

After all, Klina remembered clearly that even when the princess had provoked her in public, her sister's reaction had always been exceptionally calm...

"... Krina."

At this moment, perhaps not noticing Klina's gaze, the Queen at the side suddenly coughed twice and said, "The fourth round of auditions has begun. Your turn will be on the list soon. You should go down and prepare."

As she said this, the Empress of the Empire looked at her sister with a smile: "It's a bit disturbing that a child this old still clings to her sister."

"Huh...? I'm not clinging to you, okay? I just don't want to go to a crowded place like a waiting room early."

Hearing this, Klina's cheeks turned slightly red.

Although the feeling her sister gave her had changed a lot since yesterday, and it did make her a little dazed...but she definitely didn't stay here because she wanted to stick to her.

Thinking of this, the girl snorted, turned around and quickly walked down the platform.

“…Oh, that’s right.”

However, two minutes later, Klina returned after remembering that her equipment was still in the room on the platform.

"Sister, help me get something..."

After pushing open the door, Klina's voice stopped abruptly.

Because, at this moment, the room on the platform... is empty.

"……Eh?"

***

"……Um?"

At the same time, on Arena No. 9, Su Wei, who was shot in the head and had very little magic power left, was about to retract his magic gun, but the expression on his face suddenly froze.

Because he noticed that, although she was no longer protected by any magic armor, Princess Sainton's head did not shatter as he expected after facing a magic bullet with a firepower of the third level.

Although her skin was torn and blood was gushing out... her head was still "intact".

It looks like it's just dented.

...So hard, the skull?

Seeing this scene, Su Wei blinked, raised the magic gun that he had just put down again, and continued to aim at the latter.

According to the rules, the opponent has already admitted defeat. If he were to attack again now, he would undoubtedly be violating the rules in public. Even if the Queen spoke up in person later, she probably wouldn't be able to turn black into white.

But Su Wei didn't mind.

Since the rules cannot deal with the other party, the next thing is personal grudge.

To be honest, even he himself didn't quite understand why he hated this foreign princess to such an extent at this moment, but... now he has gradually learned to follow his heart.

However, the moment he pulled the trigger, as an indescribable feeling of emptiness surged through his body, Su Wei quickly realized that the magic power in his body... was no longer sufficient to support him in condensing another magic bullet.

...After all, the purity of my own magic power is still a little low.

The consumption of forcibly compressing the magic power of second-level purity into third-level is too great.

If the Magic Gun 1996 didn’t have its own magazine, Su Wei probably wouldn’t have been able to fire more than a few rounds before all his magic power was drained.

The next second, he smacked his lips, looked at Princess Sainton who was lying on the ground and had lost consciousness, then Su Wei silently put the magic gun back to his waist and was about to turn around and leave.

However, at this moment, a strong wind suddenly surged on the originally silent arena.

"Hey kid, do you know what you did?"

At the same time, a strange, deep male voice also reached Su Wei's ears: "Were you planning to kill the princess of the Sainton royal family just now?"

"?"

Hearing the voice, Su Wei blinked and silently looked at the person who was standing in front of him.

He was a handsome young man with silver hair.

At this moment, the surface of the silver-haired young man's skin was covered with a magical armor with a faint blue halo.

Seeing this scene, Su Wei was slightly stunned.

This kind of transparent magic armor with a faint halo, if he remembered correctly, was a feature that would only appear after the purity of magic power reached the fifth level.

In other words... the one who stopped him at this moment was a super genius who was less than twenty years old and had already cultivated to the fifth level.

However, the other party seemed to have a past relationship with the princess of Sainton.

At this moment, he was staring at him with a rather cold look.

"You don't look like a patrolling examiner."

His eyes swept over the other person's clothes that were obviously different from the knight's uniform. Su Wei shrugged and said expressionlessly: "Please don't step into the ring that doesn't belong to you without permission. This is against the rules."

After noticing that the other party was not the examiner, Su Wei confirmed that he had not violated any rules.

Including the shot fired at the last minute, it was just a normal accidental injury.

After all, before the candidate completely says the three words "I give up", who knows what the other party is going to say?

What if the counterattack method is to use sound into dreams?

However, what confused Su Wei was...what was this silver-haired young man in front of him doing here?

In his expectation, even if someone couldn't help but jump onto the stage to speak up for the foreign princess, it would only be the blond knight who had secretly run to the candidate waiting hall earlier.

"Heh, rules? You're just a bug from a training camp. Who gave you the courage to talk to me like that?"

However, Su Wei was somewhat surprised that after hearing his reminder, the coldness on the handsome face of the silver-haired young man in front of him did not change at all. Instead, a colder arc appeared at the corner of his mouth: "A bug like you, even if I crush you to death here now, there will be no substantial punishment... Do you want to try?"

The next second, just as the silver-haired young man finished speaking, a gust of sharp wind as sharp as a knife rushed towards Su Wei, directly hitting his face!

Now that the magic power inside and outside his body has been completely drained, if a fifth-level practitioner's attack were to go through, Su Wei could probably imagine what the consequences would be.

However, even so, Su Wei still did not dodge.

Because the silver-haired young man's right arm, which had turned into some kind of sharp giant claw, was firmly stopped more than ten centimeters away from his pupil.

The veins on the huge claws that looked like a strange beast were bulging, and the silver-haired young man looked like he really wanted to tear Su Wei's head apart... However, his arm was firmly grasped by another knight who had appeared on the ring at some point, making it difficult for him to move forward.

"Candidate No. 79, Luke Melville, attacked other candidates outside of the examination... This is not allowed and is a serious violation."

The look on his face was as gloomy as when he first met him. After stopping the silver-haired young man, the gloomy young knight stared at him coldly: "According to the regulations, you will be disqualified from the next audition and expelled from the first venue before the resurrection match begins."

The knight waved his hand vigorously to force the silver-haired young man back, and while saying this with a gloomy look, he looked up at the projection camera above his head.

After seeing the red dot beside the camera no longer flashing and realizing that the venue outside had begun broadcasting the situations in other arenas, he took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Su Wei behind him, and said in a cold tone: "Candidate No. 185, you... have gone a little too far."

After the words fell, Su Wei blinked, and soon realized what the gloomy knight meant by "past".

Obviously, what the other party was referring to was his behavior of trying to attack Princess Sainton again after she admitted defeat.

"Then, will I also be disqualified from the next audition and the subsequent resurrection match?"

Hearing this, Su Wei seemed to be thinking about something and asked.

"..."

As if he was a little surprised by Su Wei's coming, the gloomy knight looked at him in surprise.

"You will not be disqualified from the audition, but you will be recorded as a violation."

After a moment of silence, the gloomy knight said to Su Wei: "If you violate the rules more than twice, you will be disqualified from the subsequent auditions."

“…I see. Thank you.”

After hearing this, Su Wei nodded, then silently bowed to the gloomy knight in front of him: "Thank you for your help just now."

Although it was the patrol knight's duty to ensure the safety of the candidates during the assessment, the other party had saved his people from a fifth-level practitioner, so the most basic gratitude still had to be expressed.

"You thanked me too early."

However, for some reason, the gloomy knight in front of him did not seem to appreciate it. Instead, he glanced at Su Wei with an inexplicably complicated look: "For you, even if you pass the audition... it may not be a good thing."

"...?"

Hearing the gloomy knight's strange words, Su Wei tilted his head in confusion, but the latter was no longer looking at him.

The gloomy knight turned to the silver-haired young man and said in a cold tone: "Candidate No. 79, come with me. You are no longer suitable to stay here."

"……Row."

As if he had never expected that the gloomy knight in front of him would dare to punish him even though he knew who he was, the silver-haired young man was stunned for a moment, but in the end he did not resist, but just gave the knight a meaningful look: "I will remember you."

"And you, kid."

Then, the silver-haired young man turned his gaze to Su Wei again, raised his right hand without any concealment, and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"..."

In response, Su Wei's expression remained unchanged.

After politely watching the gloomy knight, Princess Sainton and the silver-haired young man disappear from his sight, he turned around and walked off the stage.

However, this time after leaving the arena, he did not return to the hall where the candidates were waiting.

Instead, he returned to his own temporary room.

Because, according to the assessment schedule, there were only four rounds of auditions in the morning, and they have now ended.

The next two rounds of auditions will be held in the afternoon.

After all, although it is just an audition, at least it must be ensured that the candidates can be assessed in a perfect state at the beginning of each round of auditions.

You should know that the allocation of the audition battle list is related to the comprehensive score of each candidate.

The comprehensive score of the candidates is linked to their own level of practice and their actual score in the preliminary examination.

Therefore, most candidates who pass the preliminary examination but have low scores will start from the first round of assessment.

This also resulted in most of the candidates in the first three rounds being "weaklings" who only passed the actual combat scores, but had low levels of their own cultivation and low overall scores.
