My Salvation Game Became true?!-Chapter 172 - 168 Genius Students (Requesting Monthly
Chapter 172 -168: Genius Students (Requesting Monthly Tickets) Chapter 172 -168: Genius Students (Requesting Monthly Tickets) At this moment, the assessment had not yet begun.
But merely enveloped in the light red glow, with the heart-like sphere suspended above, the students felt a chill in their hearts, as if being targeted by a ferocious beast.
This was a side effect of the Bloodcore Heart.
It was not big, but as long as it existed, there would be a faint influence of blood evil in the surrounding area.
“For this assessment, the impact of the Bloodcore will slowly intensify. Students who can endure for more than three hundred seconds will be considered to have passed the assessment,”
“If you feel that you can’t hold on, just step out of the area covered by the light red glow and you will no longer be influenced by the blood evil.”
“Now, the test of willpower begins!”
As the words fell, the sphere that resembled a heart began to beat faster.
Invisible yet terrifying, the assault of the Bloodcore hit like a hurricane. In an instant, many students turned pale, their figures staggering as if they would fall at any moment.
All the present students had experienced the rational impact of Mysterious Evil.
But this type of assault was slightly different from that of rational impact. It did not render the students insane or mentally unstable. The Bloodcore’s assault was purer, more like a force of oppression, like waves crashing down on them again and again.
Merely a few seconds in, some students couldn’t help but kneel on one knee; they could no longer stand steady.
The fear in their hearts magnified, their hearts beating violently in response, their sights before their eyes becoming blurry and their entire bodies feeling light as if their souls were about to drift away.
They couldn’t hold on.
But they didn’t want to give up.
Having come this far, just one last step remained, and no one wanted to give up. The dictionary of the Sparkfire students didn’t contain the word ‘give up.’
Admit defeat? Never to lift one’s head again.
A head can be severed, blood can flow, but admitting defeat is out of the question!
This is willpower, gritting one’s teeth, mustering all one’s strength.
The faith and will of these students shone like fireworks in the Darkness, with flames not fierce but still stubbornly flickering, lighting up the surrounding area, growing stronger bit by bit.
The fire of belief.
“Your willpower is commendable, but ultimately, humans have their limits.”
“These limits depend on one’s spirit, the foundation laid in the past… Clenching one’s teeth and enduring can indeed enhance one’s willpower somewhat, but it’s not limitless.”
Unless one possesses a talent like Black Blade’s Immortal Will, which allows one’s will to recover and become more solid no matter how many times it is shattered.
Of course, these students did not have such talent.
Not even twenty seconds into the test of willpower, figures began to fall consecutively.
Twenty seconds, 36 people eliminated.
This rate of elimination… even An Jianyou was shocked and fearful. She felt fortunate not to have to undergo such an assessment.
“When you have time later, you can also use the Bloodcore to temper your will. It surely wouldn’t hurt to grind a bit more,”
An Jianyou’s mouth opened slightly.
Yes, that’s right, no need to be surprised. I’m talking about you.
Primarily you.
An Jianyou’s ability, Passage to the Mystic Eye, made her immune to Mysterious Evil’s rational impact. This was a testament to her powerful talent, but not having to resist such impact meant her willpower was indeed somewhat lacking.
Well, just somewhat.
Compared to the newcomers, An Jianyou was still very strong.
He continued to observe.
At this time,
Students fell one after another, among them many investigators, and each time someone fell, a white thread shot out from afar, adhering to the students’ clothing and pulling them out.
Those who fainted were dragged out of the red area.
Those within the area could no longer pay attention, their minds highly concentrated, resisting the invisible assault of the Bloodcore.
All external sounds had already faded.
Before their eyes, it seemed as if a faint blood mist was spreading, as if blood-soaked soldiers were charging towards them, as if countless blades were hacking at their own bodies.
All thoughts and ideas were wiped out.
Only one thought remained: hold on, hold on.
Only the spectators outside could see one after another strong student fall, causing them to be startled and whisper among themselves.
“This willpower assessment is terrifying, so many fell already!”
“Is their willpower too weak?”
They seemed to fall at the slightest breeze after standing only for a while. Even while outside the red circle, spectators felt their hearts pound from the residue of the aura, inducing their hearts to thump wildly.
One could hardly imagine how terrifying it was to be in the red circle, directly facing the assault of the Bloodcore.
“This assessment is just too brutal.”
“No internal competition, but it’s still difficult… However, this road was always thorny, and facing difficulties is normal. We’ll fight again in the next term.”
“The rate of elimination is slowing down.”
“It seems the initial changes in the Bloodcore’s impact were too much to withstand. Now that it’s increasing bit by bit, it might be slightly easier to endure, just slightly…”
By the hundredth second, 59 people had been eliminated.
By the two hundredth second, 78 people had been eliminated.
At this time,
As the time drew near for the end of the assessment, the glimmer of passing the test was just ahead, and the onlookers outside grew nervous.
More nervous than the ones being assessed.
The people undergoing the assessment had no time to pay attention to the outside world, while the observing students started counting the remaining numbers.
“Only 98 left.”
“Now 96… just 30 seconds to go.”
“95, 94, 92, 89…”
When Xu Tian announced that three hundred seconds had passed, there were still 88 students remaining in the field.
An investigator counted.
Among the students who passed the assessment, their investigation bureau accounted for 46, more than half!
Very good!
Yang Chang, who was watching to evaluate the training results of the investigators, also saw this and smiled.
‘When this batch of investigators return to headquarters, Director Huang will also be surprised.’
The Awakened personnel had been determined, but the test of will had not ended. The Bloodcore Heart suspended in midair continued to emanate a heart-pounding blood-colored halo.
The invisible impact was still ongoing and growing stronger.
Of course, this was Fang You’s order.
Pressure, continue the pressure.
Let’s see where the limit of these students lies. This kind of Bloodcore’s oppression is also somewhat beneficial for tempering their wills.
The onlookers, whether they were simply there for the spectacle or had already been eliminated and woken up, were all very curious.
“I think I passed out within a hundred seconds, but some people inside look quite stable.”
As the number of participants decreased, those still standing within the arena became more noticeable.
Most of them were pale, with some on the verge of fainting or kneeling on one knee, clearly struggling to keep up.
Struggling was the right response!
But how come some people look so stable, their complexion even ruddy, as if the onslaught of the blood fiend was not strong at all?
Someone tried to step into the circle and barely lasted half a second before nearly collapsing, sitting on the ground gasping for air.
By the 500-second mark, only a dozen or so contenders were left in the arena. At this moment, the watching investigators suddenly realized…
There were fewer investigators still standing in the circle!
At the 300-second mark, their investigators had the advantage, but as time passed and more were eliminated, they were now at a significant numerical disadvantage.
Only three investigators remained.
And eleven rookies from Torch.

“Weren’t all of these people ordinary before, not like us investigators who have been through so many battles, but they have such strong willpower?”
“These guys must be monsters!”
“That girl holding a sword still seems to be in high school, and she’s already so terrifying!”
“The foreigner over there also looks very strong.”
“We have some tough ones from our own investigator background too. That guy there has been very stable up until now.”
“I recognize this guy. He’s a level-one investigator from Bai Jiang Branch Office, called Jiang… what was it again?”
“No matter how stable he seems, he still can’t match those few Torch rookies, many of whom still look very young.”
The glory of the Investigative Bureau was lost again.
…
“But speaking of which, do we have so many foreigners at our base? Quite a few are lasting until now.”
Quite a few indeed.
An Jianyou looked towards the instructor.
Fang You was not surprised. Unlike the students from Dong Huang Country, he was even stricter in selecting foreign students, even going as far as to possess the phantom Xiao Huan to travel thousands of miles for surveillance.
The base didn’t have many foreign students. But since they were brought here, they were the geniuses of geniuses, and he had been keeping an eye on a few of them.
“That girl holding the sword comes from Sakura Country; her name is Mazeaki Maika and she has a very strong talent for swordsmanship.”
And she was an orphan.
Her kin all died in a Mysterious Evil disaster. Apart from her potential and talent, her temperament, character, and personal experiences were also very suitable for training.
In the future, she could be placed in Sakura Country to establish a branch.
Her spot was basically determined, but Fang You thought it over and still didn’t give her a recruitment token.
She’ll follow the normal path; true gold always shines.
“That seemingly frail blond youth over there is called Ben Marvin, the girl with blue hair is David Hibel, and from our own country, we have Wang Wu and Lin Daozhi… They all gravitated together.”
These individuals each had their personal talents.
Although they hadn’t contracted yet and their specific talents weren’t visible to detection, there was no doubt they were super-talents with purple potential.
Each of them had also experienced many hardships and possessed very resilient willpower.
Fang You nodded, then turned to Yiluo Xi, “These people, of course, cannot be picked by you.”
Yiluo Xi: “…”
Then why introduce so many just now!
…
Whoosh—
Jiang Tingqiu was dragged out, still a bit dizzy, forehead covered in cold sweat. He was panting heavily.
“I… I passed, didn’t I?”
“Yes, you did. Brother Jiang held on for more than six hundred seconds. You’re the first among the investigators, truly awesome!”
“Of course.”
Jiang Tingqiu lifted his head slightly.
It was just that he hadn’t Awakened yet. Otherwise, he would have been one of the top-ranked Special Class Investigators.
There really wasn’t anyone capable of fighting among the investigators.
Wait a minute,
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of five figures on the field, swaying but still standing.
He slowly raised a question mark.
If he was the investigator who lasted the longest, that meant…
Everyone left in the arena were rookies.
Pure and genuine newcomers!
Not those investigators who had experienced many battles. Where did they get such strong willpower then?
Jiang Tingqiu’s faith in life was shaken.
…
While the training base’s assessment was in full swing, in Imperial Capital of Huang Country, within the headquarters building of the Investigative Bureau.
Director Huang was also working late into the night.
With the strong technical support from Torch, the domestic situation had stabilized quite a bit, but it didn’t mean he could relax.
Besides,
The mentor from Torch had once warned that the current disasters were merely a prelude. The real terror had yet to come.
Thinking of the future, Director Huang wore a solemn look.
Thankfully, there was Torch.
Relying on a mysterious organization wasn’t quite right, but Torch’s existence truly relieved his pressure, allowing him the occasional peaceful night’s sleep.
At this moment, his deputy knocked and walked in.
“Director, the lower municipal bureau has confiscated a strange scroll. I think you should take a look.”
“Bring it here.”
Director Huang had seen many objects related to anomalous events, and even weird items.
But at this moment, he suddenly stood up.
The deputy, Xiao Liu, had never seen Director Huang so astonished, watching as the director’s gaze was fixed on the golden figure standing above the heavens in the scroll.
Unable to look away.
