Your son-in-law is here

Chapter 1769: Dismal Winning Rate

So what does Qi Hong mean by this?

Could it be that the news released before was all a cover-up?

This made many people look unhappy.

It can be said that the newcomers who have risen because of the revival of true Qi lack nothing, except practical combat ability.

He might have been a courier boy before, but suddenly awakened to become a master. Although he has great martial arts skills, he is definitely not as good as those experienced old masters in how to use them.

Looking at this scene, Qi Hong smiled lightly: "Don't worry, the criterion for elimination is not the strength of actual combat ability."

“It’s about compliance with the rules.”

Hearing this, many people immediately breathed a sigh of relief and their complexion improved. As long as it was not an actual combat, it was fine.

Qi Hong continued: "Before talking about the rules, let me first talk about the significance of this last test."

"Why do people practice Taoism? I believe everyone's answer is different. Some want to extend their lifespan, some want to be superior to others, some want to better cultivate their character, and so on."

"But since you have chosen to join Chun Yan, the purpose of your cultivation is only to improve your combat capabilities."

“That’s what this test is about.”

"Although the test results do not affect whether you can enter Chunyan, good performance will be rewarded with points. Depending on the specific performance, the reward points range from ten to five hundred."

"You may not know what the points represent yet, so just look at the reactions of your senior brothers and sisters."

The more than 300 disciples who participated in the selection immediately looked towards the old students in the northwest corner, only to hear an uproar from there, followed by exclamations and complaints one after another.

"What? Ten to five hundred points. Doesn't that mean the starting point is ten points, and if the performance is good, the maximum can be five hundred points. Why is that?"

"Yeah, we participate in a B-level mission and work ourselves to death to get ten points, but they only participate in a few tests that are as simple as they can be and they get at least ten points. It's so unfair. If I had known this, I would have sneaked in and participated."

"A-level tasks only give 100 points. I need more than a year to accumulate 500 points. How can these newcomers get them?"

"Five hundred points can be exchanged for a hundred-year-old spiritual creature, and I have only accumulated more than three hundred points in half a year."

"unfair!"

Listening to the indignant complaints of their seniors, the newcomers gradually understood what 500 points represented, and immediately they were all ready to give a good performance.

Qi Hong continued, "So no matter whether your opponent is a spirit or a senior brother or sister, please go all out, because no matter whether it is a spirit or your senior brothers and sisters, they will also go all out. Here, as a senior, I want to remind you that the path of cultivation is not always smooth. You are not flowers in a greenhouse, but grass growing in cracks in rocks. You will inevitably experience blood and tears in the future."

"I hope that through this actual combat test, you will understand that you are already a member of the martial arts world. The environment you will face in the future will be dangerous. Fighting and killing will be commonplace for you, and life in the secular world will no longer exist."

"Of course, if you are afraid and want to quit, now is your last chance. We Chunyan won't stop you from quitting, but it won't be that easy to quit once you actually join Chunyan. I'll give you some time to think about it."

These words made the expressions of the people who had just breathed a sigh of relief become serious again. However, since they chose to participate in Chunyan's selection test, they had already thought about these situations countless times.

Before, they still had a choice.

But it is different now. There is no so-called secular world anymore. The whole world is the world of martial arts.

If they could join an organization like Chunyan, the benefits would undoubtedly outweigh the disadvantages.

So no one chose to quit at this time.

“Haha, these are all newcomers, and they are mentally fragile. Do we really have to instill such a cruel reality into them now?” The third master of Qi Mansion sighed.

Li Jiuyou replied: "The world has changed. We will have to experience this sooner or later. It's better to tell them sooner."

The Third House Master said, "The actual combat test will probably be very intense. Don't get angry or there will be casualties."

Li Jiuyou said: "Thank you for the reminder. We have been prepared for this. Injuries may occur, but death is impossible."

Ten minutes passed quickly.

None of the nearly 400 people on the scene chose to quit, which made Qi Hong extremely satisfied and said: "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and a young man is a hero. You are very good."

"But don't forget the rules I just mentioned. If you violate the rules, you will be eliminated, and the rule is that you cannot intentionally hurt the other party. Of course, the other party here refers to your brothers and sisters, and the spirits don't matter."

Someone curiously asked, "Since we are encouraged to show our best, it is difficult to control the strength. What if we accidentally hurt or even kill the other person?"

Qi Hong smiled faintly: "It seems that you are very confident in yourselves and are beginning to worry about your brothers and sisters."

"Going all out and intentional harm are two different things. If you attack the opponent after he or she has voluntarily admitted defeat or has lost his or her fighting ability, that would be intentional harm. If he or she has not admitted defeat, just go all out. Don't underestimate your brothers and sisters, and don't underestimate Chunyan's speed in rescuing them."

"So your worries are unnecessary."

"If there is no doubt."

"Then the actual combat test begins."

No one had any questions, and the actual test officially began.

Because there are only dozens of arenas, they need to take turns, with dozens of people going up first to start the test.

The first round ended quickly, and judging from the results of the first round, the worries of these newcomers were indeed unnecessary.

Fifty-eight people in the first round.

Among them, three of the third-rank students were defeated by the old students.

And among the remaining fifty-five masters below the third rank who fought against spirits of the same realm, only six won.

To be honest, this winning rate is very bleak, because in the previous Suzaku Secret Realm selection competition, it is a recognized fact that spirits of the same realm cannot beat masters of the same realm, and the difference in combat power between the two is only in a small realm.

However, newcomers only have a 10% winning rate.

It can also be seen from here that although these newcomers are very talented, they are indeed not good at actual combat.

He can't even display the ordinary level of his realm.

Next is the second round, the third round...

The results were exactly the same as the first round. The winning rate was zero for those above the third rank, and about ten percent for those below the third rank.

Moreover, most of the battles ended very quickly because these newcomers had almost no practical skills and were even worse than the unintelligent spirits in this respect.

Soon it was the seventh and final round.

What Qi Hong said was indeed true. At the beginning of each round of battle, many disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall would move between the arenas, observing who needed rescue to avoid casualties.

The most serious injury suffered by the previous six rounds was the newcomer being injured by a spirit, and it was just a minor skin scrape. With the master's physique, if the rescue had been slower, he would have probably recovered.

As for the newcomers harming their seniors, that is simply impossible. So far, no newcomer has ever won. The best newcomer only lasted a few hundred rounds, and was completely at a disadvantage, relying solely on perseverance to persist.
