You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 57 - 44 Flying Sword
57: Chapter 44 Flying Sword
57 -44 Flying Sword
Zhang Yu could instantly tell that the flying swords on the field were completely different from the toy flying swords he had bought before; clearly, they weren’t something you could easily play with.
Despite the dissatisfaction in the audience, the host calmly recited the advertisement, and then started to announce the rules for the first match.
The flying swords floating on the field at this moment were products of the flying sword manufacturer ‘Nine Heavens Flying Sword’, a type of civilian-use mana flying sword.
They claimed that there was no need to learn any swordsmanship, no Dao Heart Level requirements, and that just by changing mana output, you could control the flying sword, testing one’s ability to control the flying sword using mana.
The scabbard of the flying sword acted like a remote control and mana transmitter, enabling control over the flying sword through variations in the frequency, type, and amount of mana input.
The specific challenge here was for the participating students to use the flying swords to hit signal boards flying in mid-air; the faster the speed and accuracy, the higher the score.
The total score for this round, like the upcoming second and third rounds, is 100.
The final ranking of this mana competition would be determined by the total score from all three rounds.
With the operation manuals for the flying swords distributed, the students had half an hour to study them.
After the White Dragon High School team, a middle-aged man in sportswear smiled slightly and said, “So, it’s about testing mana control again?
At least it’s not too ridiculous; I thought we’d have to learn swordsmanship on the spot.”
This man was the competition coach for White Dragon High School, named Han Xingye.
Unlike Songyang High School, where magic power class teachers took on the role of competition guides, White Dragon High School had various teachers specifically responsible for competitions.
Upon hearing Han Xingye’s words, Song Halong touched his skyward hair casually and said, “This is our first competition this year.”
“Coach, help take a look at any noteworthy opponents on the field, especially to see how Purple Cloud and Red Tower are shaping up this year.”
White Dragon High School, Purple Cloud High School, and Red Tower High School were the three strongest high schools in Songyang City, and if nothing unexpected happened, many of the opponents they would compete against continuously over the next three years were likely present on the field now.
In response to Song Halong’s words, Han Xingye was quick to comply.
Aside from Song Halong’s excellent performance, it was naturally because of his status as extremely wealthy.
This young prodigy from one of Songyang City’s great families was a descendant whose KPI ranked among the top in the family, considered the ace son of this generation of the Song Family.
Han Xingye nodded, and with a continuous motion of his fingertips across his talismanic book, he initiated the Heavenly Eye Talisman with a burst of mana.
This Heavenly Eye Talisman invoked the great god of the Ministry of Ten Thousand People in assessing the individuals seen through heavenly knowledge.
This evaluation gathered comprehensive data from a person’s bank deposits, personal assets to school performance, job efficiency, family relations, and other aspects to form a synoptic and fuzzy evaluation in the end.
Find fuzzy evaluations undesirable and prefer greater detail?
That would require a higher belief level and a greater expense.
In essence, the effect of the Heavenly Eye Talisman is the more detailed, the more expensive; the more vague, the cheaper.
At this moment, when Han Xingye scanned the field, he dared not venture into detailed evaluations, fearing that one look might bankrupt him; it was known that such things had indeed happened in Kunxu history.
Once the Heavenly Eye Talisman activated, a golden swarm of light particles gathered into Han Xingye’s eyes from the air.
As he surveyed the entire field, he saw different evaluations appearing above each individual’s head.
Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning
Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, bankrupt gambler, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning
Not worth mentioning, jade-like skin and bones (expand for details), not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning
“Hmm?”
Han Xingye’s gaze shifted, noticing a girl from Purple Cloud High School jumping into the stands.
“That seems to be Le Mulan from Purple Cloud?
Why did she climb up there?
Watching the competition’s signal boards?”
He looked closely, and the evaluation above her head immediately expanded.
Jade-like skin and bones | Elixir aficionado | High caste | Purple Cloud loyalist | Lofty beauty
After all, being an old user of the Heavenly Eye Talisman, even though it appeared complex at a glance, Han Xingye pondered the fuzzy evaluation briefly and roughly guessed its meaning.
“This is someone with a unique physique, very capable of taking elixirs, excellent academically, loyal to Purple Cloud High School, a high-quality wealthy individual with a complex background.”
“Elixirs?
Physique?”
Han Xingye pondered, sending the keywords to Song Halong, then looked at the other participants present.
While he was continuously focusing on the students on-site, the competition officially commenced.
The field was divided into eighteen sub-arenas, each round randomly selecting 18 contestants to appear and control the flying swords to shoot at the signal boards in mid-air.
In Han Xingye’s view, one ‘not worth mentioning’ after another, ordinary high school students took the field like new recruits, fumbling with the flying swords and barely managing to hit one or two mid-air signal boards, earning maybe 10 or 20 points from the judges.
“Doesn’t look like any of them have played with flying swords before?”
Han Xingye knew that although this round ostensibly tested mana control, it was a different story for those who had experience with flying swords.
Especially regarding handling space, distance, accuracy, and speed, even those with strong mana control power might find it challenging to get a good score if they were playing for the first time.
