Chapter 145 Mysterious Prize, Points Assessment
Astral calendar year 1257, the month of Xialong (June).

Shining City, Dragon Heart Knight Academy.

The weather was hot with a gentle breeze.

There is also a passionate atmosphere in the college.

Today is the day for the graduation examination for the first batch of students at Dragon Heart Knight Academy.

Early in the morning, many fourth-year students who were about to graduate gathered at the training ground to discuss the upcoming graduation examination.

"I wonder what the graduation assessment will look like?"

"The academy is really secretive. They insisted on waiting until we arrived at the test site before telling us the specific content of the test."

"No matter what the content is, since the test location is in the underground world, the difficulty will not be low."

"I heard that the underground world is very dangerous and full of monsters. I hope the academy won't make the assessment too difficult."

The students gathered in groups of three or four, and there was a constant buzz of discussion.

Outside the training ground, students from the other three grades were also watching curiously, trying to see if they could get some information. After all, they would have to go through the same assessment in the future.

"Sheen!"

Sheen finally squeezed through the crowd of junior students and entered the martial arts training ground. He was looking around for his friend when he heard a familiar voice calling him.

He turned around and saw Ruger and Solano waving at him.

"Why are you here so late?"

Walking closer, Luger hit Sheen's shoulder in annoyance.

The latter scratched his cheek and smiled: "The dean asked me to come over to talk about something."

Ruger's eyes suddenly lit up, and he came over and put his arm around Sheen's shoulders, whispering mysteriously, "Did the dean tell you about the graduation assessment? Share it with me, we are brothers!"

Xien shook his head and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. You know how strict the academy's rules are. How could the dean take the lead in breaking the rules? He just gave me some encouragement."

Luger was greatly disappointed.

"What? The dean is too rigid. After all, you are the head of the fourth grade. What's the harm in giving some information?"

"It's because Sean is the top of the fourth grade and the dean believes he can get good grades, so he won't break the rules and help him privately." Solano smiled, revealing two shallow dimples, and turned to look at Sean, "Sean, how are you preparing?"

"no problem!"

Sheen raised his right hand and confidently flexed his muscles.

“I’m going to get first place this time too!”

Ruger said enviously: "I heard that the top five students in the assessment can get a third-level dragon blood fruit and a mysterious prize."

The higher the level of dragon blood fruit, the stronger the effect.

The lowest grade, first-grade dragon blood fruit is only for apprentice knights to eat.

The first and second year students of the academy, as well as some third year students who have not yet been promoted to knights, usually eat first grade dragon blood fruit.

Level 2 dragon blood fruit is only for knights to eat.

Only students who have been promoted to knights are qualified to eat dragon blood fruit of this level.

As for the third-level dragon blood fruit, it is said that one fruit can allow a mid-level knight to break through and become a high-level knight.

Among this year's graduates, there are a total of eighteen intermediate knights, including Sheen.

If you can get the third level dragon blood fruit, you can immediately break through and become a high-level knight.

How can this not be enviable?
"That's great. I also want a level three dragon blood fruit." Ruger's face was full of envy.

Sorano chuckled and said, "The top five will definitely be taken by those intermediate knight students. Let's set our sights on the top fifty. The top fifty can also get a level two dragon blood fruit."

"The effect of the second-level dragon blood fruit is much worse." Ruge muttered.

But this guy is an optimist and soon put the matter behind him and turned to the topic of the mysterious prize.

"What do you think the so-called mysterious prize is?"

"I guess it's probably something from the base." Sorano's eyes flashed with yearning, "I heard there are a lot of magical things there, and the dragon blood fruit also comes from there."

"Isn't it the legendary magical item?"

"Not likely. I heard that magic items can only be used by wizards, not knights."

“Could it be a medicine?”

Ruger and Solano were discussing enthusiastically, while Sheen stood aside, silent and with a strange look on his face.

Just now, the dean called him over and, in addition to encouragement, also told him the true identity of the so-called mysterious prize.

What Ruger said was right, it was a magical item.

It's called 'Magic Pattern Construct', a powerful magic item that can also be used by knights.

The dean also said that all graduates will be allocated a set of first-level magic pattern structures, but only the top five outstanding students can be allocated a set of more powerful second-level magic pattern structures.

It is said that after a high-level knight is equipped with a second-level magic pattern structure, he can directly possess the combat power of a great knight!
When Sheen heard this, he was a little confused.

It can make a high-level knight become as powerful as a great knight. The effect of this magic pattern structure is simply ridiculous!
If these words had not come from the dean's mouth, he would never have believed it.

"They say wizards' magic items are very powerful and magical. I didn't think much of it before, but now it seems that the rumors are true."

"If magic items are this powerful, how powerful must the wizards who created them be?"

Sheen secretly marveled.

Thinking about joining the Knight Guard after the graduation assessment and being able to team up with the legendary wizard, he couldn't help but feel excited, and felt that a whole new world was beckoning to him.

"Xien, what are you daydreaming about?"

Luger suddenly stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Sheen, interrupting the latter's wandering thoughts.

"Nothing." Xien said vaguely, turning his head to look at the entrance of the martial arts training ground, "The dean and others are here."

The junior students at the entrance of the training ground were quickly dispersed, and Moritz walked in with a group of instructors.

After a brief speech, a group of people left the college and headed straight out of the city.

Soon, Sheen knew today's destination.

Many people know that there is a forest near the Glittering City that is heavily blocked by the army.

It is said that there is a mining area inside, and a large amount of ore can be seen being transported out every day.

Sheen was originally wondering why a mining area needed to be blocked by the army, until now he suddenly realized.

It turns out that there is not only a mining area in the forest, but also an entrance to the underground world.

After passing the blockade outside the forest, the group soon arrived at Camp 1.

All the students couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw hundreds of clay golems carrying ore back and forth in the camp.

"what is this?"

"It looks like a clay golem. It's said to be made of clay."

"Clay? That's amazing!"

"The wizard is so powerful!"

The exclamations kept coming and going.

Some students couldn't help but reach out and touch the clay golems passing by them.

It was the first time they had seen a walking human-shaped clay figure.

Moritz and the instructors nearby did not stop them, but just shook their heads and laughed.

When they first saw the clay golem, they were also filled with amazement. After passing through the camp, the group entered the cave.

After seeing the stone golems stationed along the way, the students were amazed again.

Afterwards, the group came out of the stalactite cave, rode a manta ray across the quiet lake, and landed on an island in the center of the lake.

A lion-faced man was already waiting by the lakeside, taking them to the assessment site.

During the whole process, all the students were confused and exclaimed in amazement. They felt that everything they saw was so strange and novel, something they had never seen before.

“Is this the underground world?”

Sorano murmured, a look of surprise on her pretty face.

Sheen and Ruger also looked around in amazement.

It was the first time in their lives that they saw such a strange and bizarre place and such strange creatures.

Everything that appeared before their eyes made them feel as if they had entered a bizarre new world.

No, that's not right.

Compared to the surface, the underground world is like a whole new world.

Soon, led by the Sphinx, the group arrived at the entrance of a cave.

The entrance is extremely huge, with a height of more than ten meters, enough to accommodate more than twenty people at the same time.

There are a lot of fluorites embedded in the top of the cave, which emit a faint fluorescence, illuminating the area near the entrance.

The area further inside was pitch black, and looked a bit creepy.

"Okay, we're here."

Moritz raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, turned around and looked around, then said solemnly:
"The location of the test is this cave. There are intricate tunnels inside, like a maze. Your task is to find the crystal ball placed in the tunnel."

Moritz opened his palm, revealing the crystal ball in his palm.

The crystal ball, which is only the size of an egg, is perfectly round, translucent light blue, and has three sparkling stars inside.

"Each crystal ball has a different score. For example, the three dots of light in the one I have represent three points."

"The final score of each student's crystal ball will be added up to get the final score of this graduation assessment."

"The test time is ten hours. When the time is up, everyone must leave immediately. You are not allowed to collect crystal balls. Also, you are prohibited from snatching crystal balls from others. I remind you that there are red-eyed crows in the cave responsible for monitoring the test status, so don't try to break the rules."

"Also, there are monsters stationed near the crystal ball. The higher the score of the crystal ball, the more powerful the monsters stationed there are. It's best for everyone to do what they can."

"Now everyone take the photosensitizer and rest for ten minutes, then we will begin the assessment."

Moritz waved his hand, and immediately an instructor came out and distributed photosensitive agents to everyone.

After taking the medicine, the students immediately felt their vision become clearer and no longer as dark as before.

"so amazing!"

"Is this the wizard potion? Awesome!"

"Finally I can see my surroundings clearly."

Many students were amazed, and more people began to prepare for the battle.

Sheen also began to check weapons and equipment and make final preparations.

Although he is confident in his own abilities, there are many elites in the fourth grade and there are still many strong opponents, so he will not underestimate them.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

As Moritz announced the start of the assessment, the students entered the cave one after another.

"come on!"

"You too!"

After encouraging each other, Sheen, Luger and Solano separated at the fork in the road near the entrance and each entered a different tunnel.

As they went deeper, they encountered more and more forks in the road and the students gradually dispersed.

Not long after, all the students around Sheen disappeared, leaving him alone.

There was deathly silence in the dark underground corridor, with only the faint sound of footsteps echoing.

Sheen looked around carefully and subconsciously tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand.

The air was cold and damp, with a biting chill, making Sheen, who was entering the underground world for the first time, particularly uncomfortable.

Fortunately, I took photosensitizer in advance, so I don’t have to worry about not being able to see the surrounding environment clearly.

After walking for a while, Sheen keenly discovered that every few steps, there was a crow hanging upside down on the top of the cave. Its eyes were a rare blood-red color, and its body was covered with a layer of hard scales.

"Is this the red-eyed crow that the dean was talking about?"

After cautiously testing several times, Sheen found that these red-eyed crows did not move, but just stared at him. He immediately confirmed his guess, ignored them, and passed directly under them.

After walking about a hundred meters, he came to a fork in the road with three tunnels in total.

A strange rustling sound came from the tunnel on the far left.

Sheen hesitated for a moment, then chose the tunnel on the far left.

The chance of a crystal ball appearing is greater where there are monsters.

Not long after walking, dense blood-red spots of light suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead.

Looking closely, I realized that they were a pair of cold, red animal eyes.

Squeak!
Accompanied by a sharp cry, a group of rats suddenly rushed out from the darkness and rushed towards Sheen at high speed like mad beasts.

Sheen's expression froze, but he was not panicked. He quickly retreated to a corner, leaned against the rock wall, and prepared to meet the enemy.

Dragon Heart Knight Academy doesn't just teach how to practice, it also teaches practical combat skills.

In addition to daily sparring and training between students, there are also many practical courses on fighting ferocious and exotic beasts in the wild.

When it comes to fighting, Sheen is no longer a rookie.

He swung his sword to cut a rat in half, then used his shoulder to knock away another rat that was trying to launch a sneak attack. The blade in his hand suddenly trembled violently, tearing through the air and slashing forward with force.

Ripple slash!

hum!
A low humming sound suddenly erupted in the void.

A powerful force suddenly erupted, tearing more than a dozen rats in front into pieces, and a noticeable gap suddenly appeared in the dense group of rats!

Such a powerful attack caused the crazy rat swarm to pause.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sheen quickly adjusted his breathing and swung his sword to kill two more rats.

He could see that the fighting power of these monsters was not much stronger than that of ordinary people, they just had more in number. As long as they were not besieged, any knight could easily deal with them.

After a while, Sheen successfully wiped out the rats.

Stepping over the dense rat corpses on the ground, he quickly rushed towards the direction where the rats rushed out. Soon he saw a stone pillar standing in the middle of the tunnel, with a crystal ball on the top.

There were three points of light shining inside.

"Three points!"

Sheen picked up the crystal ball, a look of excitement on his face.

Taking a deep breath, he continued walking forward.

After the harvest, he became more motivated.
