Chapter 70

Real blades and real guns—they just went for it.

In the end, through a series of advantages—ranged damage, high-grade medicine supplies, numerical superiority, outnumbering the enemy, and decisive bravery—they won again.

And they won quickly.

This time, in addition to the 16 Naga warriors, Zhao Chi also captured 240 iron blades.

Although they were all of rough and common quality, they would be enough to use for a while.

The main weapon remained the spear, and the sidearm could be the blade.

Those female artisans could also be equipped with blades.

"Everyone go pick a blade, and rest as soon as you're done."

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

Gu Qing walked over: "My lord, the wooden spears basically all need repairs this time. We might not have time to rest."

Zhao Chi asked: "Are there enough wooden shields?"

"There are enough wooden shields."

"Then it doesn't matter. Don't repair the wooden spears. Everyone equip the extra iron blades, and we'll throw the iron blades in a while."

"Ah? Throw the iron blades?"

Gu Qing was surprised for a moment again, then laughed: "That's a great idea. I understand, my lord is amazing!"

These iron blades were real iron weapons; throwing them with force dealt higher damage than wooden spears.

It was just that the range would be significantly shorter.

The women quickly finished distributing the iron blades and all lay down to rest.

They had consumed a lot of stamina.

After all, it was close-quarters combat; whether attacking or defending, their movements were fast, and their stamina was depleted rapidly.

Fortunately, there was still time to rest.

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

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Someone was calling him privately.

Opening it, it was Yang Xiong.

Yang Xiong: [Holy crap, Zhao Chi, what's going on with you? You're 19th? Did I read that right? How are you so badass? You straight-up crushed Cao Feng, hahahaha, too awesome.]

Zhao Chi: [How are you doing?]

Yang Xiong: [I gave up. I really couldn't handle this stage. 4 of my 40 orcs had already died before, and if I fought hard this time, more would definitely die. I gave up straight away, without hesitation.]

Zhao Chi: [Very wise. That doesn't sound like you, though. Haven't you always been reckless?]

Yang Xiong: [Holy crap, why are you saying that too? But I feel like I've let you down a bit... Sigh, it's all my fault.]

Zhao Chi was confused.

He quickly asked: [What's wrong?]

Yang Xiong: [If I had known you had this kind of strength, I would have made you sign the agreement with Cao Feng immediately. Now that there's no agreement, I'm afraid he won't honor the bet.]

Zhao Chi: [It's fine, he came to find me and signed it already.]

Yang Xiong: [Ah? Really? Hahahaha, too awesome. I'm going to die laughing. I'm going to go have a good chat with Cao Feng, hahahaha.]

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

Zhao Chi didn't enter the group chat immediately.

He opened the ranking to check first.

[Real-time test ranking]

[1st place] Class 9: Zhou Lue

[2nd place] Class 5: Pei Pei Yuanxiu

[3rd place] Class 1: Hua Hua Yuyin

[4th place] Class 2: You Yu

[5th place] Class 8: Wei Wei Jinlong

This time, Zhou Lue occupied 1st place again.

Pei Pei Yuanxiu slipped to 2nd.

Hua Hua Yuyin rose to 3rd.

You Yu was on the list again, ranking 4th.

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

He wasn't seen in the top 10 either.

Could it be that he gave up too?

Zhao Chi scrolled directly to the bottom.

Sure enough, Xiao Liu's status was displayed as withdrawn.

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

Only 97 students remained in the test.

And this was only the sixth stage.

There were still four stages to go.

Perhaps the difficulty of this test was truly a bit high; 60 Naga warriors appeared, and although there were no Naga archers, it was difficult enough.

After all, ordinary students only had 40 subjects now.

Those who could stay until now were either supported by family funds, gifted with extraordinary command abilities, or had special talents like Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi scrolled up the ranking.

He found the people he was concerned about.

[19th place] Class 4: Zhao Chi

[21st place] Class 4: Cao Feng

[35th place] Class 4: Duan Yun

[44th place] Class 4: Lu Yi

[191st place] Class 4: Yang Xiong (Withdrawn)

Although Yang Xiong had withdrawn, his ranking was fixed at 191st.

Up until now, he had relied purely on his own strength.

With this result, he was also qualified to request some resource support from his family.

Zhao Chi was very happy for him.

That Lu Yi hadn't withdrawn was within Zhao Chi's expectations.

She had family support, so the number of elves must be quite large, and using ranged attacks against Naga warriors was quite effective.

However, Naga warriors weren't completely countered by elves.

After all, the Naga race's scales could block a lot of damage, and the four blades in their hands could also deflect many arrows.

Furthermore, the Naga race had higher constitution attributes, higher stamina than the elves, and had the advantage in long-term pursuit.

Even if the elves climbed trees or defensive towers.

The Naga race could climb up using their snake bodies, just like ordinary snakes; climbing trees was not a problem at all.

Cao Feng's ranking had also risen by 1 place this time, reaching 21st.

To be honest, this result was not bad.

He had 30 centaur archers, which gave him some advantages in dealing with Naga warriors.

But at the same time, the Naga could block half of the wooden spears thrown at full force from close range.

For arrows shot from a distance, the probability of blocking was even higher.

Centaurs could hold an advantage, but they couldn't decide the outcome.

It must be that his shadow leopards had also played a role.

The role of a meat shield.

Yang Xiong had already started chatting with Cao Feng in the group.

When Zhao Chi entered the group, they were chatting intensely.
