BXBX NOVEL Chapter 219 - 219: Rapid Rising Ranking
Wang Ye waited patiently for the assessment to end.
He looked at his ranking and saw that it hadn’t changed much.
He had thought that he would fall out of the top ten million, but he did not.
The cosmic humans who could live longer on the battlefield had more experience, and they were ranked higher than him in the previous two assessments as well.
In the end, his ranking was fixed at 9677391.
“Not bad.” Wang Ye was in a good mood.
He rested for a while.
“Third assessment: Individual combat ability.”
[Difficulty: 1]
A notification flashed in front of him.
Soon, the surroundings changed again.
He was now on a battlefield filled with the smell of blood. Before he could react, demon warriors had already swarmed over from all directions, as well as huge cosmic behemoths that shook the earth.
The demon warriors had special bloodlines and different abilities, but they weren’t very strong. They were all beginner Cosmic Lifeforms.
“Save my combat prowess.” Wang Ye took out the Five-edged Saber, an unlimited saber without any special attributes. Its sharpness and attack power were comparable to a level three dark energy weapon.
There was no fear or hesitation.
The previous training in the military camp had allowed Wang Ye to adapt to the battlefield.
With the limit break skill, the Triangle Saber Technique, he quickly finished off one demon warrior after another.
With stage 4 Spatial Control, he could easily kill these minions without any effort.
In an instant, the scene of the battlefield disappeared and Wang Ye returned to his room.
[Total score: 1392]
His score had increased by 100 points.
The third assessment was individual combat ability, with a total of 20 stages of difficulty.
Every difficulty he passed would add 100 points.
If he failed, it would end.
There was only one chance.
Each battlefield had a fixed time limit, and the injuries sustained wouldn’t be healed, nor the consumption of one’s energy.
Of course, if he ended the battle earlier, he would then have more time to recover his combat energy and ability.
The time limit ended.
Wang Ye looked at the screen.
[Rank: 8269988]
His ranking had risen by one million.
Although it was only difficulty 1, it was already a disaster for many New Star-level experts.
10 cosmic-level demon warriors, especially on the battlefield, were very strong.
Those human experts who had never been on the battlefield would suffer greatly here.
Just this round alone would eliminate 90% of the examinees.
That being said, many of them had obtained very high scores in the previous assessments, so they were still above him.
However, if one were to lose here, it would be very difficult for him to get into the Military Strategy Department.
[Difficulty: 2]
A new challenge soon began.
This time, it was devil warriors. The fighting was even more intense, and there were even intermediate cosmic warriors.
However, for the current Wang Ye, it was still a piece of cake.
Difficulty 3, Difficulty 4, Difficulty 5…
He passed five stages in a row!
[Rank: 3555922]
Difficulty 6 had advanced cosmic soldiers, and the number of enemies had increased to close to a hundred!
The pressure on the battlefield was increasing.
In this assessment, there were no teammates and one could only rely on oneself.
Rumbling Thunder! Thunderclap! Thunder Rush!
This was the first time Wang Ye used combat energy since starting the assessment.
Against beginner and intermediate cosmic warriors, he could still use Spatial Control to kill them easily.
However, the advanced cosmic devil warriors were obviously stronger. With their powerful body, they were difficult to without combat energy.
“Manipulation Spell!” After killing three advanced cosmic soldiers, Wang Ye quickly used the Manipulation Spell.
In an instant, the three advanced cosmic warriors with strong bodies slaughtered the other devil warriors.
Wang Ye continued to attack from the side and easily passed the sixth stage.
Difficulty 7 had peak cosmic level 9 demon warriors. The enemies were getting stronger and stronger!
Many demon warriors had reached the strength of Lu Jie back then.
Wang Ye repeated the same process. He first took the initiative to clear out the strongest ones, then used his Manipulation Spell to finish off the rest one by one.
He was saving his combat energy and ability.
The real challenge would only begin when at difficulty 8 as Dark Energy-level experts would begin to appear.
Roar!” A demonic beast with green eyes and green fur moved at an astonishing speed.
The Dark Energy level was a stage of transformation for the demon race.
A cosmic behemoth with ordinary intelligence would transform into a demonic beast with intelligence no lower than humans when it reached the Dark Energy level.
Its body was still strong and would even be more refined and terrifying after devouring dark substance, reaching a new level.
At the cosmic level, demon warriors were stronger than behemoths.
However, at the Dark Energy level, not only would the demonic beasts catch up, but they might even be stronger!
Meteor Descent Saber Technique!
Destruction! Shattered Stars! Meteorite Explosion!
Wang Ye’s speed soared, and the power of his attacks increased layer by layer. His stage 6 combat energy exploded.
Although his attack speed had only increased by a little, combined with his stage 4 Spatial Control, he fleeted galloping across the battlefield like a ghostly figure and was hard to resist.
Even without the help of any ability, he was still very strong.
Kill!
Control Spell!
Wang Ye controlled a Dark Energy level one demonic beast and continued to attack the other two Dark Energy level 1 great demons.
The surrounding cosmic-level warriors and behemoths rushed over, but against the terrifying attack of the Dark Energy level 1 demonic beast, they were unable to defend.
The difference of one level was difficult to overcome, especially since the enemies were all ordinary demon warriors.
The controlled behemoth was unstoppable!
After devouring the dark substance, a Dark Energy-level demonic beast was comparable to a dark energy weapon.
As Wang Ye controlled another Dark Energy-level warrior, the situation on the battlefield quickly changed.
He successfully passed the eighth stage.
[Rating: 2092]
Wang Ye looked at the screen.
The third assessment had ended, and less than one in a million would pass.
The vast majority of the examinees were only at the New Star level or cosmic level.
His previous estimate was that he would get 800 points.
However, because he was a low-grade Cosmic Lifeform, he would get 1.5 times the score, so his final score could reach 1200 points.
But now, he could still improve!
Every stage he passed would give him 150 points.
Wang Ye seized the time to recover.
His combat energy and ability were still full.
The ninth stage was not a problem!
[Rank: 887575]
After facing the encirclement of a group of beginner Dark Energy-level devil warriors, Wang Ye once again passed the stage.
He was ranked in the top one million!
There was no time to think about it.
He had to hurry up and recover!
[Difficulty: 10]
Wang Ye entered the battlefield again.
This time, intermediate Dark Energy-level great demons had appeared!
After absorbing dark energy, great demons had a huge amount of demonic power, and the characteristics of their bloodlines were especially obvious.
They controlled demonic powers, had awakened their bloodlines, and had intelligence that was not inferior to humans.
The three intermediate Dark Energy-level great demons created quite a bit of trouble for Wang Ye.
All three layers of the Bone-split Poison Saber’s mystical engravings were fully activated. Combined with the Five-edged Saber, the Dual Blade Style displayed its might!
Wang Ye was forced to display his strength.
If it was before, he would have been eliminated long ago. But now, he was very strong!
[Rank: 726021]
[Difficulty: 11]
Intermediate Dark Energy-level devil generals!
The Dark Energy-level devil generals rushed over like a tide.
They were even more difficult to deal with than the demon race experts because they were not afraid of death.
Every devil race expert was a natural-born warrior. They were close to humans in all aspects and possessed various talents.
He could no longer hide his strength.
Wang Ye used the Condensation, Explosive, and Electromagnetism Spells one after another, but he was still in a tough battle.
There were too many of them!
A battle that was close to the limit.
The inconspicuous Manipulation Spell was like a divine weapon on the battlefield.
Just like in the battle with the Munro Guards, he relied on the magical Manipulation Spell to gradually eliminate his disadvantage.
Even though he was injured, Wang Ye still passed the 11th stage.
“This is my limit.” Wang Ye knew very well.
The difference in strength level was too great.
With his current combat prowess, he was no match for an advanced Dark Energy-level demon even if he were to use his full strength.
He was already satisfied to be able to reach this point.
“In the next round, 1 should try to get as many points as possible.” Wang Ye recovered with all his might.
Although he would definitely fail, there was a huge difference between 1101 points and 1199 points.
[Difficulty: 12]
It was here!
Wang Ye didn’t know how many candidates could pass this stage but for low-grade Cosmic Lifeforms… There were probably very few of them.
“1, 2, 3, 4, 5.” Wang Ye sighed.
Five demonic beasts and great demons that were clearly stronger than the others, and more than a hundred Dark Energy-level demons…
Even if he was at his peak condition, there was no possibility of him winning, let alone now that he was injured.
“Let’s fight.” Wang Ye decisively avoided the advanced Dark Energy-level great demons and demonic beasts and attacked the other Dark Energy-level demon race experts.
Attack and control!
Attack together and then control more!
Wang Ye nibbled away at the enemy’s strength step by step.
All the dead demon race experts were repeatedly used by him, attacking the enemy under the control of the Radiant Star Chess.
However, as he had expected, the advanced Dark Energy-level demons were too strong.
Demonic beasts had refined and terrifying bodies while great demons had powerful bloodlines and demonic powers.
They were unstoppable.
He persisted until the last second of the battlefield. Fight until the last moment!
“Whoosh.” Light flashed in front of his eyes.
Wang Ye left the battlefield and returned to the assessment space.
In an instant, a white light descended and bathed his body. It felt warm and soft, instantly reviving him and filling him with strength.
The intense battle just now was unforgettable. Everything in the human virtual cosmic was no different from a real battle.
[Rating: 1178]
[Weighted score: 1767.]
Swoosh!
Wang Ye raised his head.
Looking at the final score on the screen, he was stunned.
The weighted score had given him another 589 points, and his total score was now close to 1800 points!
It made him equivalent to a Dark Energy-level expert who had cleared all the way to difficulty 18.
Normally, this was almost impossible since a Super Star Lifeform would appear at difficulty 16.
However, the cosmic was vast. It was common to get full marks here.
Previously, when he watched the video introduction, there were even examinees who had obtained scores that exceeded full marks after their life level was factored in.
He could actually do that too, though the prerequisite was to remain a low-grade Cosmic Lifeform.
Unfortunately, that was impossible.
Three years later, he would be a middle-grade Cosmic Lifeform.
Pausing his life-level advancement for a few cosmic days for an assessment was fine, but stopping for three years was impossible.
“My total score now is 3059.”
Wang Ye did some mental calculations.
The original estimate was to get 3000 points after all four assessments, but he had achieved that score after only three assessments.
With this score alone, he could already squeeze into the top 10%.
However, it was meaningless to compare it to those scums.
“The minimum admission score for the Military Strategy Department is 6000 points. With that, I can enter a Class I Supreme Human Academy.” Wang Ye’s heart skipped a beat.
Although it was a little whimsical, as long as he could get 3000 points in the last and most difficult assessment of the Military Strategy Department, would he be able to pass?
It was very difficult.
This was because the assessments of the Military Strategy Department were each more difficult than the last.
But since he had already come this far, he had to give it a try!
Even if he failed, he could still accumulate more experience.
He waited for a while before the third assessment was over.
The screen flashed and a new ranking appeared.
[Total score: 3059]
[Rank: 68622]
From nearly a ranking of ten million, he had killed his way to 60,000!
Wang Ye saw hope.
The final assessment: Combat simulation!
