Chapter 1129: Practical Assessment

first, then fruits." As long as the young couple has a good relationship and I'm physically able, we'll naturally help take care of another child."The old woman's actions somehow turned the rumor tha...Her gentle voice was a bit loud, which caught the attention of those around her. Then everyone lowered their voices and began to watch the drama unfold.

Ripple, adhering to its understated principles, stepped back like a whirlwind, yielding the stage to the two disputing parties.

Kōji patted the small white dog in her arms, raised her chin, and said disdainfully:

Just now, who told Ripples to ignore me

"Hmph, that's not because you have a bad attitude towards others, forcing someone else's star beast to befriend your Lilyan."

Hong Wenrou immediately retorted.

"Tsk, nobody else cares, so why do you need to make a statement"

Kouki wouldn't back down either.

Both of them finally turned their eyes to Ripples, seemingly wanting her, the person involved, to step forward and mediate.

What can ripples say Anyway, she didn't want to offend anyone, so she just smiled and said:

"Two classmates, you'd better not argue anymore. Since we assembled here, no teacher or examiner has come over. I think they should be observing us secretly."

We'd best be careful with our words. You never know, a single phrase could lead to elimination, after all the second round examiners are very subjective.

The ripples of words fell, and both of them closed their mouths, letting out a cold snort at each other before ending this argument that never really started.

However, through these two people, Lian Yi also had a preliminary understanding of the "not rich but noble" companions in Xiao Liu's analysis.

"Ripple, hello! My name is Xinghe. I think your analysis just now makes a lot of sense."

This time, the one who spoke up was the rich young master in the fairy armor, a fifth-rank combat uniform, whom Xiao Liu had specially mentioned before.

"Hello! It's nice to meet you. Your battle suit is very beautiful."

Ripple praised.

"Heh heh, this was my father's reward for me. He only ordered it for me after I got into the top 100 in the first round of assessments."

Xinghe is two meters tall with standard wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He has a very imposing appearance and speaks very cheerfully.

That's what you earned with your own abilities. I wouldn't even ask for a reward from someone who doesn't deserve it.

Ripples sighed with emotion.

"Where are your parents"

"Both my parents died in the war."

Ripples do not shy away from their identity.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

The galaxy immediately apologized.

"It's okay, they've been gone for over ten years. I've come to terms with their departure."

The ripples waved goodbye.

As their conversation came to an end, a circle of light rose from the ground beneath them. The next second, the entire group was teleported away.

When the ripples subside and his feet touch the ground, a stern male voice rings in his ears:

"Candidates, you are now entering the second round of assessment. This time, the assessment will focus on extreme survival."

Your neural wristbands have been restricted, retaining only the most basic communication functions. You can only communicate with other members of your group.

All space buttons are locked. Once you use something inside a space button, you will be automatically judged as a failure and eliminated immediately. Someone will clean you out of the assessment planet.

All supplies, missions, and the final destination are on this assessment star. You need to find them yourselves. The time limit is seven days. I hope to see you at the finish line. The assessment officially begins!

As soon as the other party's voice fell, a mountain rat the size of a calf rushed towards them.

"Prepare for attack."

Whoever shouted, the whirlwind in Lian Ri's arms immediately leaped from her embrace, transforming into a black panther one meter high and two meters long the moment it landed. The panther carried Lian Ri and ran away.

It wasn't that he didn't want to get involved, it was just that the scene was too chaotic. Over a hundred people were crammed together, each doing their own thing. He flicked his tail and could have injured someone nearby, so Whirlwind smartly chose to leave the group first.

Ripple sat while Whirlwind ran. The rest followed suit. Koki's little white dog transformed into a white lion star beast and then carried its master off to chase after Whirlwind.

Xinghe touched his earlobe, and a red spider landed. After growing larger, it sprayed out a black spider web, blocking the oncoming mole rats. Then, at its master's command, it went after Lianyi.

Hong Wenrou transformed into a serpent-beast and walked on the ground, going in another direction. There were also beastly humans who followed her direction and ran away.

Some psychics immediately erected defensive shields and then, while fighting, retreated in a chosen direction.

Only a handful of mutants remained, standing their ground against the Weasel. For a moment, skies were illuminated by a kaleidoscope of mutant powers.

The whirlwind, carrying ripples, left the battlefield and after running for a while, came to a stop.

Ripple looked around, and the flowers that bloomed on his wrist fell to the ground one by one. They quickly took root and began communicating with the surrounding plants, gathering information about the assessment planet as quickly as possible.

"Ripple, I'm with you."

Kouki was just a little behind, and arrived beside Ripple at this time.

How could you be following me Aren't you afraid that following me will prevent you from passing the evaluation

Ripple laughed and asked.

"No, Lillian told me your star beast is very powerful, you're definitely able to take me through the assessment."

Kōki said arrogantly.

"And me too!"

The Star River also joined in, but his star beast looked rather terrifying.

Kouki immediately said:

“Galaxy, put your heart away, it's too scary.”

“My hearts are very cute, it's something you don't understand how to appreciate.”

The Star River was very satisfied with its own star beast and naturally didn't want to hear Kou Ji talk about the red heart, so it immediately protected itself.

At this time, Doudou is conveying the information of the entire planet to Lianyi. Although it's a bit scattered, it's better than being completely clueless.

Several more classmates, each accompanied by a star beast, followed them. Everyone was still a little shaken from their recent experience. After all, they had only ever seen these rock-mantas in holographic projections before. Seeing one in real life was something they weren't quite used to yet.

"Then Ripples turned to Kouki and said:"

"Another fifty kilometers ahead there's a small river. We better find a safe place to rest before nightfall and gather some food, otherwise we'll have to complete the mission on an empty stomach tomorrow."

"Are you sure there is a small river ahead"

Someone raised a question.

"If you don't believe, you can have your star beast investigate."

Ripple said nonchalantly.

The ultimate survival test examines individual capability, and it doesn't necessarily require teamwork. These people choose to follow the ripples in times of chaos, but that doesn't mean the ripples are responsible for them or that they have to listen to the ripples.

Ripple touched Cyclone's head and said:

"Wind, go to the riverbank first. I'll catch you some fish to eat!"

The whirlwind happily wagged its tail, then kicked its hind legs, a black shadow flashed past, and the man and beast were already far away.

"Ripples, wait for me!"

Kouki shouted, and without her needing to command, Liliana took off running after her. Xinghe followed closely behind.

The remaining people looked at each other. Some chose to follow Ripple, some chose another direction, and a portion remained to observe from their spot. Thus, the group of thirty was divided into three parts.

"Tut tut, what a bunch of rookies. They're so bold, daring to scatter in unfamiliar territory. Not following the lead of the strong, thinking they can make a name for themselves. You're all going to be picked off."off."The ripples are a metaphor.Hearing the ripples' words, Chief Su's face finally improved. She also understood the meaning behind the other party's words.The elder raised his teacup, took a sip of...
