Chapter 210: Chapter 144: Mysterious Prizes, Points Assessment (Part 2)

“Nothing.” Sean muttered, turning to look at the entrance of the training ground, “The dean and they are here.”

The lower-grade students at the entrance of the training ground were quickly dispersed, and Moritz came in with a group of instructors.

After a brief speech, the group left the academy and headed straight out of the city.

Soon, Sean found out the destination for today.

Many people know there is a heavily guarded forest near Flash City.

It’s said that there is a mining area inside, and large quantities of ore are transported out daily.

Sean was puzzled why a mining area required military blockage until he suddenly realized this.

The forest not only has a mining area but also an entrance to the underground world.

Passing through the blockade at the forest periphery, the group quickly arrived at Camp One.

All the students couldn’t help but widen their eyes upon seeing hundreds of Clay Golems carrying ores back and forth in the camp.

“What is this?”

“Seems like Clay Golems, said to be made from clay.”

“Clay? That’s amazing!”

“Wizards are truly incredible!”

Exclamations rose one after another.

Some students couldn’t help but reach out to touch the Clay Golems passing by them.

It was their first time seeing humanoid clay that could move.

Moritz and the instructors beside him didn’t stop them, merely shaking their heads with a smile.

They were filled with wonder the first time they saw Clay Golems too.

Passing through the camp, the group then entered a cave.

Upon seeing the Stone Golems stationed along the way, the students gasped again.

After that, the group emerged from the stalactite cave entrance, rode manta rays across a tranquil lake, and landed on the island at its center.

A human-faced lion was already waiting on the lakeshore, ready to lead them to the assessment location.

Throughout the process, the students were stunned, constantly expressing awe, feeling everything they saw was so bizarre and novel, unprecedented.

“Is this the underground world?”

Solano murmured softly, her pretty face full of wonder.

Sean and Luger also gazed around with expressions of astonishment.

In their lifetime, it was the first time they had seen such a peculiar and mysterious place, and strange creatures.

Everything before their eyes made them feel like they had entered into a bizarre new world.

No, that’s not right.

Relative to the surface, the underground world is clearly a completely new world.

Soon, led by the human-faced lion, the group arrived at a cave entrance.

The entrance was huge, with a height of more than ten meters, enough to accommodate more than twenty people walking side by side.

Fluorite was embedded at the top of the cave, emitting faint fluorescence to illuminate the area near the entrance.

The deeper parts were pitch-dark, looking somewhat creepy.

“Alright, we’re here.”

Moritz raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, turned to scan everyone with solemnity, and said:

“The assessment venue is this cave, with a maze-like network of tunnels inside, and your task is to find the Crystal Ball placed in the tunnels.”

Moritz opened his palm, revealing a Crystal Ball in the center.

The Crystal Ball, only egg-sized, was completely round and translucent light blue, with three glowing star points inside.

“Each Crystal Ball has different scores, like this one in my hand, the three light dots inside represent three points.”

“The final combined score of the Crystal Balls each student collected is the final score for this graduation assessment.”

“The assessment duration is ten hours. Once time is up, everyone must leave immediately and stop collecting Crystal Balls. Also, do not try to steal Crystal Balls from others. Keep in mind, there are red-eyed ravens in the cave monitoring the assessment situation, so don’t attempt any violations.”

“Moreover, there are monsters guarding the Crystal Ball locations. The higher the score of the Crystal Ball, the more powerful the guarding monsters are. Best to measure your strength and act accordingly.”

“Everyone, take the light-sensitivity potion now, rest for ten minutes, and then begin the assessment.”

Moritz waved his hand, and immediately instructors stepped forward to distribute light-sensitivity potions to everyone.

After taking the potion, the students immediately felt their vision becoming clearer, no longer as dark as before.

“Amazing!”

“Is this wizard potion? Incredible!”

“Finally, we can see our surroundings clearly.”

Many students exclaimed in wonder, with even more beginning their pre-battle preparations.

Sean also started to check his weapons and equipment, make last-minute preparations.

Although confident in his strength, there are many elites in the fourth grade, and quite a few powerful opponents, he would not underestimate or be careless.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

As Moritz announced the start of the assessment, students began to walk into the cave one after another.

“Good luck!”

“You too!”

After a brief encouragement to each other, Sean, Luger, and Solano separated at the fork near the entrance, each entering different tunnels.

As they ventured deeper, they encountered more and more fork roads, gradually dispersing the students.

Before long, the students around Sean disappeared, leaving only him alone.

The deathly silent dark underground passageway resonated only with faintly echoing footsteps.

Sean cautiously observed his surroundings, instinctively gripping the sword handle in his hand.

The air was cold and damp, carrying a bone-chilling Ice Cold that made Sean, entering the underground world for the first time, particularly uneasy.

Fortunately, having taken the light-sensitivity potion earlier, he didn’t need to worry about not seeing the surroundings clearly.

After walking a while, Sean keenly noticed that at intervals, there was a crow hanging upside down from the cave top, with rare blood-red eyes and scaled body.

“This is the red-eyed raven the dean mentioned?”

After carefully testing them a few times, Sean found that these red-eyed ravens didn’t move, only focused on staring at him, confirming his guess. He then ignored them, directly passing beneath them.

After walking about a hundred meters, he encountered a fork road with three tunnels.

A peculiar rustling sound came from the far left tunnel.

Sean hesitated for a moment but still chose the far left tunnel.

In places with monsters, the chance of finding a Crystal Ball is higher.

Before walking far, numerous blood-red spots suddenly lit up in the dimness ahead.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be pairs of cold red beast eyes.

Squeak squeak squeak!

Accompanied by sharp cries, a group of rats suddenly rushed out from the darkness, charging at Sean like crazed beasts.

Sean’s expression stiffened, but he didn’t panic, quickly retreating to a corner, preparing to meet the enemy with his back against the rock wall.

Dragon Heart Knight Academy not only teaches practice but also imparts combat skills.

Besides daily practice sparring between students, there are also numerous field courses for battling beasts and Exotic Beasts.

In terms of fighting, Sean was no longer a novice rookie.

Slashing a rat into two halves with his sword, Sean then shoulder-rammed another rat attempting to sneak attack, the blade in his hand vibrating intensely as he slashed towards the front.

Wave Slash!

Buzz!

A deep hum burst forth in the void.

Suddenly, a mighty force exploded, tearing and crushing over ten rats in front, leaving an obvious blank space within the dense rat pack!

Such a powerful attack momentarily halted the frenzied assault of the rat pack.

Seizing this opportunity, Sean swiftly adjusted his breath, swinging his sword to slay two more rats.

He realized these monsters were not much stronger than ordinary humans, just numerous. As long as he wasn’t trapped, any knight could easily solve them.

A moment later, Sean successfully eradicated the rat pack.

Crossing the ground littered with rat corpses, he quickly headed in the direction from which the rat pack came, soon seeing a stone pillar in the tunnel center, with a Crystal Ball placed prominently at the top.

Inside, three points glowed.

“Three points in hand!”

Picking up the Crystal Ball, Sean’s face beamed with excitement.

Taking a deep breath, he continued forward.

Having made gains, he’s even more motivated.
