Chapter 163

Real blades, real guns — just go for it.

In the end, through ranged damage, high-grade medicine supplies, numbers advantage, many against few, decisive and brave, and a whole string of other advantages, he won again.

And won quickly at that.

This time, besides the 16 Naga Warriors, Zhao Chi also captured 240 iron swords.

Although they were all crude and common quality, they were enough to use for a while.

The main weapon stays the same — still the spear — the secondary weapon can be the sword.

Those female craftsmen could also be equipped with swords.

"Go pick a sword each, and rest as soon as you're done picking."

The women wiped the slime off the sword blades and happily equipped themselves with one each.

Gu Qing walked over: "my lord, this time the wooden spears basically all need repairing, there probably won't be any time to rest."

Zhao Chi asked: "Are the wooden shields still enough?"

"Wooden shields are enough, actually."

"Then it doesn't matter. Don't repair the wooden spears. Everyone equip the extra iron swords — we'll throw iron swords in a bit."

"Huh? Throw iron swords?"

Gu Qing was surprised again for a moment, then laughed: "What a great idea, I get it now, my lord is amazing!"

240 iron swords, roughly enough for each of these women to equip 3.

These iron swords were real iron weapons — thrown with force, they dealt more damage than wooden spears.

Only the range would be considerably shorter.

The women quickly finished dividing up the iron swords and all lay down to rest.

They had expended a great deal of stamina.

After all, this was close combat — whether attacking or defending, the movements were all very fast, and stamina drained rapidly.

Fortunately there was still time to rest.

Zhao Chi had just lain down when he heard a sound from the system

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Someone was contacting him for a private call.

He opened it — it was Yang Xiong.

Yang Xiong 【Holy crap, Zhao Chi what's going on with you? 19th place? I'm not seeing wrong, am I? How are you this badass? You just instantly killed Cao Feng, hahaha, way too badass.】

Zhao Chi 【How about you?】

Yang Xiong 【I gave up, this level I really can't beat, my 40 orcs had already lost 4 before this, if I forced the fight this time I'd definitely lose more, so I just gave up, no hesitation】

Zhao Chi 【Very wise, doesn't sound like you — weren't you always so reckless?】

Yang Xiong 【Holy crap, why does everyone keep saying that, but I seem to have let you down a bit... sigh, it's all my fault】

Zhao Chi was completely baffled.

He quickly asked 【What's wrong】

Yang Xiong 【If I'd known you had this kind of strength, when you and Cao Feng made that bet I would've told you to hurry up and sign an agreement with him. Now there's no agreement, I'm afraid he won't honor it.】

Zhao Chi 【No worries, he came to me and we signed one】

Yang Xiong 【Huh? Really? Hahaha, way too badass. I'm dying of laughter, I'm going to find Cao Feng and have a nice chat, hahaha】

From his tone, although Yang Xiong had withdrawn from the test, he was very happy.

Zhao Chi didn't enter the group chat right away.

He first opened the rankings to check.

【Test Real-Time Rankings】

【1st Place】 Class 9: Zhou Lue

【2nd Place】 Class 5: Pei Yuanxiu

【3rd Place】 Class 1: Hua Yuyin

【4th Place】 Class 2: You Yu

【5th Place】 Class 8: Wei Jinlong

This time Zhou Lue once again took 1st.

Pei Yuanxiu slid to 2nd.

Hua Yuyin rose to 3rd.

You Yu made the list again, in 4th.

The previous 2nd place Xiao Liu had dropped off the list.

He wasn't in the top 10 either.

Did he give up too?

Zhao Chi flipped straight to the end.

Sure enough, Xiao Liu's status showed as withdrawn.

This time, besides him, another 200 students had already withdrawn.

Only 97 students remained still in the test.

This was only the sixth level.

There were still four levels after.

Perhaps this test really was a bit harder — 60 Naga Warriors appearing, although there were no Naga Archers, it was still hard enough.

After all, ordinary students only had 40 subjects right now.

Those who have survived until now either have family funding backing them, or are extraordinarily talented with exceptional commanding ability, or are like Zhao Chi, who has a special gift.

Zhao Chi scrolled up through the rankings.

He found the people he was following.

【Rank 19】Class 4: Zhao Chi

【Rank 21】Class 4: Cao Feng

【Rank 35】Class 4: Duan Yun

【Rank 44】Class 4: Lu Yi

【Rank 191】Class 4: Yang Xiong (Withdrawn)

Although Yang Xiong withdrew, his ranking froze at 191.

Up to now, he has relied purely on his own strength.

With this result, he too has the right to demand some resource support from his family.

Zhao Chi was very happy for him.

That Lu Yi did not withdraw this time was within Zhao Chi's expectations.

She has family support, so the number of her elves is certainly not small; using ranged attacks against Naga warriors works quite well.

However, Naga warriors are not entirely countered by elves.

After all, the Naga race's scales can block a good deal of damage, and the four blades in their hands can deflect quite a few arrows.

Moreover, the Naga race has a higher constitution stat than the elves, giving them the edge in prolonged pursuits.

Even if the elves climb trees or get onto defensive towers,

the Naga race can still slither up with their serpent bodies — just like ordinary snakes, climbing trees is no problem at all.
