"Now, let me explain the specific process of the special combat test..."

The middle-aged male teacher from the Mediterranean coughed, and the students around him naturally quieted down, anxiously awaiting his explanation.

"First of all, you will be randomly sent to the underground training ground in teams. The environment simulation system has been activated there, divided into three large areas."

In the center of each area, there will be a teleportation tower. You can use the teleportation tower to move to the next area...

To activate the teleportation tower, you need to use ten energy vouchers...

The Mediterranean male teacher stretched out his hand and took out a coin the size of a bottle cap. The coin flickered with a bright blue light, which was the so-called energy voucher...

"Each student will be assigned an energy voucher upon entering the maze, and will be given one when teleporting to a new area. Meanwhile, there will be numerous alchemy puppets wandering in the maze, and these puppets will hold energy vouchers. Eliminate them to obtain energy vouchers and activate the teleportation tower to move to the next area..."

"Each student must ensure that they have at least one energy voucher. If you lose the energy voucher, you will be disqualified from continuing the exam..."

Passing through one area is considered passing, and passing through two areas is considered excellent...

"Uh..." Hearing this, Clair immediately raised her hand to ask a question. "What about those who can pass through all three areas? What kind of achievement is that?"

"Hehe, great question..." The teacher immediately smiled and pushed his glasses up. "Since the establishment of Saint Laurent Cadet Academy, no freshman has ever been able to pass through all three areas in the special combat test. So, I am also looking forward to seeing the performance of all the students~"

As soon as this statement was made, there was a murmur throughout the room. Clearly, there should be additional rules to this test, otherwise, the pass rate should not be so low.

Sure enough, the teacher immediately continued, "Then, near the central teleportation tower in each area, there will be powerful 'elite guards' wandering around. There is no need to engage in conflicts with them. Just avoid fighting and activate the teleportation tower immediately to leave~"

Since the elite guards are roaming near the teleportation tower, it is highly likely that they will be attacked when trying to move to the next area. It is important to know how to deal with enemies that are stronger than oneself and cannot be defeated.

There are three elite guards in the three areas, and their strength accumulates gradually.

So, the reason why no students have been able to reach the third area in the special test is that all the students who arrived at the teleportation tower in the third area were repelled by the elite guards there?

Analyzing this, the biggest threat is naturally the elite guards, because theoretically, the combat power of alchemy puppets is impossible to match even with four people working together.

However...

"May I ask..." At this moment, a tall and muscular boy raised his robust arm and asked with a smile, "So, how are the scores calculated between teams? And can we snatch energy vouchers from other teams?"

"Haha..." The teacher immediately laughed and nodded. "Of course, from the moment you enter the maze, you can freely maneuver. Whether you become enemies or cooperate, as long as you can achieve greater benefits, it is allowed. This is the 'battlefield'..."

As for the calculation of scores, because it is a team of four, the final result is calculated based on the team. In other words, as long as one person reaches the third area, the rest of the team is considered excellent. Even if the other three have already been eliminated in the first area, it's the same.

"Alright, all the rules have been explained. As for how to interpret and apply them, it's up to you. Now, get ready to enter the maze..."

The teacher stepped aside, revealing a huge circular metal platform behind him. That is the entrance to the underground maze. Immediately, following the previous team's numbering, the four-person teams started entering one by one.

"With these rules, it means that we can simply enter the door and hand over the energy vouchers, and then rely on the experts in the team to lead the way, right?"Before entering, Li Wei immediately made a remark that was very much in line with his personal style. As expected, Vera and Eris both had a slight reaction on their faces.

But before they could speak, Li Wei quickly interjected, "However, in that case, when we go to the next area, it's as if we are missing one energy voucher, which is still a disadvantage~"

According to the rules, when going to the next area, everyone will be allocated one energy voucher. So if there is one less person, it means that the team is also missing one voucher. If possible, it is natural to ensure that each member can successfully enter the next area.

Anyway, as long as we pass one area, it is considered qualified. Based on the current rules, the difficulty of qualification should not be high.

However, ultimately, these are just rules on paper. There is one rule that is not clearly stated on paper, or rather, a rule that allows for a lot of maneuvering.

That is allowing teams to snatch energy vouchers from each other, which presents a big problem.

There is nothing more unstable than "human nature". This test consists of fifteen teams and sixty students...

...These are sixty fifteen-sixteen-year-olds, going through puberty and rebellious phase, full of hormones!

God knows how many heroes will emerge from this, and how many unforeseen situations will arise?

After all, it's enjoyable to compete against others, right?

Of course, there is no need to worry about others because Li Wei has sufficient reasons to believe that his childhood sweetheart is the biggest unstable factor.

Sure enough, when Clair heard that real PvP was possible, her eyes instantly lit up, and she looked like she was ready to go all out.

"Okay..."

Now it's Li Wei's team's turn. The four of them stepped forward and stood on the teleportation platform. With a bright blue light rising, a sudden strong feeling of weightlessness hit them.

But this feeling came and went quickly. Soon, everyone recovered from the weightlessness and looked around.

The first thing Li Wei felt after standing still was...

"So hot!!!"

All he saw was an endless expanse of yellow sand around him. Above his head, a bright sun emanated a domineering aura.

Environmental simulation system activated, first area...

...Desert!
