The crowd in the arena was still enthusiastic, and as Ian returned to the rest area, he immediately saw Wang Wei standing up and getting ready to enter the arena.Wang Wei turned back to Ian and gave him a confident and bright smile, "Watch this bro, it's my turn to perform next!"
Ian smiled slightly and nodded his head encouragingly, "Go for it, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Wang Wei entered the arena in stride, his opponent was a burly man with a fierce face named Griffin. Griffin's muscles were swollen, and he stared at Wang Wei aggressively, provoking, "Kid from the East, today I will teach you what real power is!"
Wang Wei was not enraged by his opponent's words, instead, he easily assumed a defensive stance and responded with a smile, "I'll see what happens then."
Reynolds stood on the sidelines and loudly announced, "The match begins!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Griffin roared furiously and rushed forward, the ground shaking with each step, seemingly possessing amazing strength.
Wang Wei, however, appeared to be unperturbed, as subtle electric currents suddenly surfaced on the surface of his body, and gusts of light electric currents were faintly heard in the air around him. Just as Griffin rushed in front of him, Wang Wei suddenly turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared in an instant.
Griffin slammed his fist in the air and turned his head around in shock, "Where is everyone?"
"Here."
Wang Wei's voice sounded behind him, Griffin turned around furiously, but he only saw a blinding flash of electricity, and then he himself felt his whole body twitching violently as if he was electrocuted, making it difficult for him to move.
Wang Wei looked calm, the electric current intertwined between his hands and condensed into a dazzling ball of light, he quickly waved his hand and pushed the electric ball towards Griffin, the electric ball instantly exploded, Griffin was knocked out by the powerful electric current and fell heavily to the ground.
"The lightning ability is truly terrifying, not only is it fast, the attack power is also extremely powerful!" The senior members of the Brotherhood nodded their heads in praise.
Reno announced, "Wang Wei wins!"
After the match, Wang Wei returned to the rest area and winked triumphantly at Ian, "How was it brother, my performance wasn't bad, was it?"
Ian smiled and nodded, "Very impressive indeed."
The battles continued thereafter, but none of them were too suspenseful, and the contestants advancing to the third round were soon decided.
When all the battles were over, Reno re-stepped to the center of the arena and swept his gaze solemnly over the remaining sixteen contestants and opened his mouth, "Congratulations on entering the third round, which will be the harshest round of testing - the Survival Trial!"
He paused for a moment, and continued in an even more serious voice, "The third round will not be held inside the arena, but will instead take place in the 'Wilderness Hunting Ground' on the outskirts of the Brotherhood of Steel. There, you will face real threats to your lives, not only from ferocious mutant beasts, but also from the attacks and betrayals of your opponents."
A heavy silence fell over the arena, and everyone felt the gravity of the atmosphere.
Reno continued to explain the rules in detail, "The goal of the third round is very simple, you need to survive for three days within the hunting grounds, and you need to reach a palace in the center of the hunting grounds, and find a way to obtain a totem engraved with runes in the palace. The person who obtains the totem is considered the victor, and if no one gets it, they are all considered defeated!"
He swept his gaze sharply over the crowd, his voice low, "Remember, in the hunting ground, there are no rules restricting how you fight. In order to survive and complete the mission, you can choose to cooperate or be hostile to each other, it all depends on your own choices. But remember, there can only be one victor."
The contestants' faces varied, some had excitement and ambition shining in their eyes, while others had gravity and worry on their faces.
Reno finally reminded solemnly, "The victor of the survival trial will become a full member of our Steel Brotherhood and receive the full training of the Brotherhood. The losers, on the other hand, must bear the price of failure. You guys, do you still have a chance to quit?"
The scene was quiet for a moment, then firm voices rang out in droves, "No withdrawal!"
Reno nodded with satisfaction, "Very well, then tomorrow morning, still gather here, after gathering I will take you to the hunting grounds, you will be sent to different areas and the trial will officially begin."
On the way back to the room, the system's voice once again sounded: [Limited mission release: find out the true intentions of the Brotherhood of Steel's selection of young Exalts.]
The system's voice sounded again on the way back to the room: [Limited mission release: Find out the true intentions of the Brotherhood of Steel's selection of young adepts! The kind of battle skills Ryan used, it seems to be very strong, really look forward to ah, but the requirements of this task is very strange, is there another hidden meaning of this trial? "Ian did not think too much, no matter what, we must first pass the third round of selection tomorrow.
