Chapter 335
Watching Ye Jingqiu already beaming as if she had succeeded in ascending to heaven, Xue Jing was slightly stunned.
He didn’t harbor much wariness towards these students… It wasn’t that he felt particularly close or trusted them, but rather that humans don’t pay much mind to what an ant beside them might try to do.
Thus, when he saw Ye Jingqiu turn towards him, he simply wanted to lend a hand to help her, unexpectedly, she changed her approach in order to get close to him.
This was a bit tricky now.
Xue Jing supported the slightly woozy Ye Jingqiu by the shoulders, preventing her from collapsing to the ground, his expression somewhat helpless.
Ever since his Charm Art had reached Lv10, his constitution had become a bit special, and the scent from his body carried a bit of ‘poison’.
Moreover, having practiced Martial Arts for years, continuously elevating his level of life, and having cultivated the Nirvana Technique—a Special Technique, the scent of his body had reached a mystical level of effectiveness.
That bodily fragrance could produce a certain pleasure, a sense of happiness for those who smelled it… Those accustomed to it were fine, but it was somewhat overwhelming for those who experienced it for the first time.
Usually, Xue Jing used Aura Blockade to keep his aura from spreading outside his body.
The effect of Ye Jingqiu suddenly taking in a deep breath at close range… was probably about the same as taking a real hit.
“Jingqiu? What’s happened, are you allergic to metal?”
Since both her appearance and physique were quite outstanding, Ye Jingqiu had always been the center of attention, and noticing her unusual behavior, her classmates were very concerned.
Xue Jing helped her sit under a light-reflecting, pale brown metallic tree, then turned to a female student beside him and said,
“Jiali, please take care of her.”
Fu Jialin nodded, responding affirmatively, curiosity flickering in her eyes.
She was one of the few students who had seen the whole process… Having witnessed Ye Jingqiu change like this only after taking a breath in Mr. Xue’s embrace.
Watching Ye Jingqiu now drooling like a person high on drugs in an anti-drug movie, Fu Jialin felt a bit excited, a bit scared, but also a bit eager to try…
What exactly had she smelled on Mr. Xue?
Cao Sini approached Xue Jing and whispered, “Teacher, it’s about to start.”
She showed him the information on her wristband.
[Examinee Name: Cao Sini]
[Assigned Team Members: Not determined]
[Current Task: Not determined]
[Current Score: 0]
[Leaderboard Information: Temporary none]
[Countdown: 0:28:19]
Xue Jing nodded, “Proceed as planned.”
He shouted to the students, “Everyone, begin registering your team information!”
The students immediately responded, “Yes, Teacher!”
As they spoke, they began to enter information on their wristbands.
Seeing this, Xue Jing nodded.
This joint Martial Arts Examination, due to the large number of participants, had slightly cumbersome rules.
Students would accumulate scores in two aspects throughout the examination, which would determine their final Martial Arts Examination scores.
The two scores were ‘individual score’ and ‘team score’.
All examinees must allocate their respective teams within the first half-hour after entering the Steel Tree Sea area. If they had not joined any team by the end of this period, they would be considered to have formed a team by themselves with only one member.
There was no upper limit to the number of members in a team. If desired, even the entire class could join the same team, although this situation had its pros and cons, which would be discussed later.
When a student knocked down any non-team member (including classmates), they would receive 100 personal points and 100 team points divided among all team members.
For example, if it was a five-person team, one member knocking down a non-team member would receive 100 individual points and 20 team points, while the remaining 80 would be divided among the other four members.
The criterion for being knocked down included: the fallen losing any ability to act, death, intervention by an examination official, or determination by an examination official that they had been knocked down.
Beyond scoring for knocking down, there were several other methods to acquire points.
One was forced migration tasks. Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
The Steel Tree Sea was divided into thirty-six regions, from A1 to A9, B1 to B9, C1 to C9, D1 to D9.
Every eight hours, all teams would receive a random forced migration task, like moving all team members from current A1 region to B9 region within eight hours, failure to do so would result in a deduction of substantial individual and team points.
Success, however, would result in additional individual and team points.
Each task varied in distance and difficulty, thus the deducted and added points differed.
Therefore, students had to keep moving continuously throughout the entire examination, unable to remain hidden in fixed regions.
Second, optional random beast-subjugation tasks.
The officials would intermittently release monster subjugation missions within the Steel Tree Sea. Student teams could accept these tasks, and upon successful subjugation—depending on difficulty—would receive certain individual and team points.
Third, the leaderboard.
There was only one leaderboard, evenly listing the top ten teams. After the examination ended based on the final ranking, the top ten teams would receive substantial scoring.
Fourth, knockdown King.
Among all students, the one who knocked down the most others would become the ‘Knockdown King’ and would receive substantial points at the final calculation after the exam ended.
By these rules, at the end of the examination, all students’ final scores would be their individual scores plus their team scores.
If either was negative, it would be deducted from their final score.
After all students had their final scores calculated, they would be ranked according to these scores, and based on these final rankings, the actual Martial Arts Examination scores would be awarded.
