Chapter 1006

No... I didn't say anything, did I?

After Senior Abigail exited at light speed, Li Ang also vaguely realized that these two people were probably chatted away by him, so he couldn't help but close his mouth speechlessly and cast his gaze toward the Pisces Director on the podium.

"I..."

"You are first, the assessment is over."

After glancing at Li Ang, who looked a bit depressed, the Pisces Director announced the result without hesitation, immediately waved his hand to shatter the dream, and then forcibly sent Li Ang, who still wanted to say something, out.

This kid... is somewhat psychologically perverted!

Those who can reach the level of Level 1 cleaner in various branches cannot possibly have a weak mind, and naturally would not voluntarily exit just because they were simply "squeezed out" or forcibly "accompanied in conversation."

What truly made the "Daughter of Purification" and the "Slaughterer" admit defeat on their own was not those awkward, nutrient-less conversations, but Li Ang's bizarre performance of remaining as usual under the crazy "crushing" of his own talent.

Now that only the last three people remained and the exam hall had shrunk to only one row, the "concentration" of the talents of the Daughter of Purification and the Slaughterer was more than a hundred times higher than before, and the erosive power had been raised by more than one grade.

But Li Ang, sitting between the two without any protection from his own talent, still appeared to be unaware of anything; whether it was the high-pitched holy singing in the Immaculate Kingdom that washed the soul, or the dead silence storm in the desolate wasteland that annihilated everything, neither could make his expression change in the slightest.

You must know that the manifested "talent" is completely one with the person; the collision between talents is equivalent to using everything you have to empathize with and grind and tear at everything the other person has, until one side is completely destroyed.

However, facing the attack where he had "bet everything," as the victim being tortured, that kid not only didn't show a hint of a painful expression, but instead leaned over, covered in cracks, scorch marks, and blood, and chatted happily with you about the recent weather.

This extremely bizarre sense of imbalance not only brings a sense of loss from throwing a full-force punch into empty air, but also means that "everything" representing one's own existence has been directly denied by the other party. This most naked and thorough indifference is even more hair-raising than bone-deep hatred and hostility.

Honestly, even if you took them both down and replaced them with me, I probably wouldn't want to stay with this kind of person anymore.

Looking at the two people who, even though they had already left the exam hall, still looked at Li Ang's position from time to time with faces full of wariness, the Pisces Director couldn't help but shake his head and clapped his hands hard.

"The first stage of the assessment is over, now starting the second stage of the assessment."

Following the Pisces Director's clapping, the dream that had just shattered instantly merged again, swallowing everyone in once more, and what appeared before the cleaners this time was no longer tables and exam papers, but an extremely vast and empty field.

"The content of the second assessment is a comprehensive test of your individual combat ability."

Raising his withered arm and waving it, stamping a number on the forehead of every cleaner, the Pisces Director said loudly:

"These numbers are your specific rankings from the last round. A total of 419 people participated in the last assessment, so defeating the first place is worth 419 points, defeating the second place is worth 418 points... and so on; defeating the last place only gets 1 point, and each person can only be defeated once.

Next, you will take turns choosing your opponents and enter the field I created for you to fight each other. The challenger can designate an opponent, and the designated person can designate the field, requesting me to modify the size and type of the field, choosing an environment favorable for displaying their own abilities..."

The first person to choose designates the opponent, and the person chosen designates the environment?

After hearing the Pisces Director's words, the part of the 419 cleaners with more flexible minds had already understood the significance of this assessment.

Aside from a simple test of combat level, this second stage of the assessment also included tests of combat wisdom and observation ability, and even some examinations in "intelligence gathering" and "situation inference."

In the previous first stage of the assessment, everyone was in the same exam hall, and everyone's respective talents and tendencies had already been displayed in front of everyone.

If, in the last assessment, besides fully manifesting one's own talent, one had also carefully observed other cleaners, it would not be difficult to infer their ability types and strengths and make targeted arrangements.

For example, if chosen by that "Angel," one could completely designate the field as an abyss; in that environment full of chaotic and evil aura, her performance would definitely be greatly affected.

If the field simulated by the Pisces Director could approach the environment of a true abyss, the strength of the "Angel's" ability might even be directly halved!

After figuring out how to use the rules, those among the 419 cleaners whose rankings were in the middle or even at the bottom couldn't help but show expressions of eagerness.

Before transcending the human realm and possessing the status of a True God, the abilities of most anomalous objects cannot be exempted; a high Li Ang value only partially weakens the effect.

The total number of people is limited, so the total score is also limited. The cleaners who choose first, in order to get points, are unlikely to choose opponents with too large a gap, and with sufficient intelligence collected in advance, plus targeted field selection, they have a chance to win against the strong with the weak, and even...

The top few might not be impossible either!

This is... everyone treats me as a soft persimmon?

Feeling the extremely eager gazes cast at him from behind, Li Ang couldn't help but look back speechlessly.

Sure enough, because he didn't display any talent in the last round and basically relied on being able to "endure" to the end, most of the participating cleaners naturally set their sights on him, already viewing him as 419 points with legs.

And at the same time, seeing where the cleaners' gazes landed, the Pisces Director couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

The overall quality of this batch of cleaners is still not good enough; their eye for talent and brains are not up to standard... hmm... it doesn't matter. The eye for choosing opponents is itself part of the assessment. People whose eye for talent is this poor couldn't possibly get a good ranking anyway.

Determined not to give any reminders, the Pisces Director continued:

"The rules for the second assessment are basically these. The order of choosing opponents follows the order of the last assessment... Number 1, who do you choose as your opponent?"

Do I choose first?

Hearing the Pisces Director's reminder, Li Ang turned his head back, smiled at Senior Amien standing beside him, and then said:

"Number 4."

Number 4... the cleaner who is also from the Virgo Branch?

After hearing Li Ang's choice, looking at Amien, who was full of fatigue and could barely stand, most of the cleaners couldn't help but show a look of realization.

In the first assessment, Number 4 fought against more than four hundred cleaners in a row, and her own consumption was astonishingly large; at 416 points, she could indeed almost withdraw from the assessment, and this kind of high score that is a lock should naturally be taken first.

Although it's a bit shameful to take action against a cleaner from the same branch, if he doesn't take these points, Number 2 and Number 3 will take them next, so choosing Number 4 doesn't count as...

"Except for Number 4."

Giving Senior Amien a reassuring look, amidst the bewildered gazes of all the cleaners, Li Ang said somewhat shyly:

"For the remaining four hundred and seventeen people, let them come together!"
