A new assessment was underway, and since the number of participating teams was odd, one team would naturally have to sit out. Of course, this time Ye Yu and his team were not so fortunate as to be the ones spared.
The assessments at the Federal First Military Academy were always rigorous, and to ensure that they could accurately gauge the true abilities of the trainees, various rules had been painstakingly established. Sometimes, the examiners from the First Military Academy would even create new rules on the spot based on the specific circumstances of the participating teams.
Although one team was sitting out in this round of assessments from forty-seven to twenty-four, the other teams were not so lucky. Their opponents had shifted from fellow classmates to the unique Beast Soldiers of the Blue Seal Empire. The assessment criteria were based on the number of beasts killed within a specified time, with only the top twenty-four advancing.
"I wonder what kind of Beast Soldiers we will be facing this time; we need to prepare ourselves!" Wang Jiu said as he stared at the display screen in his hand, reading the information three times without discovering which type of Azure Marked Beast they would have to confront.
"Generally speaking, our combat capabilities are limited to that of ordinary soldiers, so the Beast Soldiers in this assessment shouldn't be too strong. They likely won't exceed second-tier combat power," Chen Tang remarked after glancing at similar past assessments. With less than half an hour before the assessment began and having just received this information, everyone felt a twinge of anxiety.
"This time it's just the five of us fighting, which means we'll face even greater pressure!" Ye Yu understood that with fewer people, there would be fewer options for battle strategies.
"Our weaponry has been upgraded to include individual Laser Cannons, Phase Guns, and Quantum Blades... At this rate, we look more like we're going hunting," Nasha said while looking through the weapon catalog, her eyes seemingly igniting with boundless fighting spirit.
"It is indeed a hunt, but who knows who will be hunting whom," Xia Chiu said with an unusually serious expression. As a member of a prominent family, she understood that this round of assessments would not be easy.
"Let's do our best; honestly, our current achievements are already quite good," Chen Tang said. Although everyone knew when to stop pushing themselves, not everyone could actually do so. He felt satisfied with their current results and didn't feel too much pressure.
Ye Yu nodded and said, "Regardless of winning or losing, we can relax after the assessment; there's no need for everyone to be too tense."
...
The vast desert stretched endlessly under a scorching sun, with rolling sand dunes that instilled a sense of dread. This assessment simulated an environment set in a massive desert landscape.
A gust of wind blew through, bringing no relief but rather a wave of scorching heat that hit everyone. Ye Yu steadied himself and warned, "Everyone stay alert; the enemy may attack suddenly..."
Before Ye Yu could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a slight tremor beneath his feet. At that moment, his expression changed dramatically as he shouted, "Scatter!"
Reacting instinctively to the danger he sensed, Ye Yu pushed off the ground with his toes and rapidly retreated more than ten steps. The others reacted quickly as well; as soon as Ye Yu's warning rang out, they immediately stepped back several paces.
As the crowd dispersed, the ground where they had just stood suddenly began to writhe violently.
"Boom—"
In the next moment, a massive object, over three meters long, burst forth from the sand, sending a cloud of yellow dust into the air.
"Gather around me!" Ye Yu reacted instantly; the Beast Soldiers had arrived, but he had yet to see their appearance clearly.
Ye Yu's team members, having worked together for a long time, moved in perfect harmony. As soon as Ye Yu shouted, they all rushed toward him.
At that moment, Ye Yu was not idle either. He aimed his Phase Gun at the unknown creature. It was only then that he realized it was a beast resembling a prairie wolf from his home planet. However, this Head Wolf was clearly larger than an ordinary wolf. Its tail was long and slender, gleaming with a metallic sheen, exuding an aura of destruction.
"Furious Beast, known as the desert steed of the combat Beast Soldiers, agile in movement and adept at tail attacks!" Chen Tang quickly recognized the unknown species, and his expression softened slightly.
This desert creature was commonly used as a mount by the Blue Seal Empire's cavalry. It had a fast short-distance charge speed and excelled at stealthy ambushes. Its three-meter-long steel tail was incredibly lethal; if an ordinary person were struck by it, they would either be dead or severely injured. Fortunately, the actual combat power of this creature was not high; even an adult Furious Beast only equated to first-tier combat strength.
"Everyone stay alert; do not approach this beast!" Ye Yu quickly recalled the attributes of this creature. Although he knew its combat power was low and felt confident he could take it down instantly in real life, he dared not be careless in this virtual assessment space.
"Roar—"
The Furious Beast did not care what Ye Yu and his team were thinking. After lying in ambush for some time without landing a fatal blow on its enemies, it was now quite irritated.
"Concentrate fire!"
Ye Yu understood that with the power of the Phase Gun, unless he hit a vital spot, he would not be able to kill it in one shot.
In the next moment, five beams of crimson light shot toward the Furious Beast. Simultaneously, five visible light columns pierced through its body.
Ye Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, puzzled; this beast was far too easy to kill.
"Not right, Virtual Image!" Ye Yu immediately reacted. This was the result of the reaction speed honed by those who practiced Mental Power, even in a virtual environment where Mental Power could not be used!
Ye Yu quickly aimed his gun at other parts of Virtual Image, and the others heightened their vigilance at his reminder. Almost in an instant, they realized that Furious Beast had already approached, less than eight meters away!
Ye Yu squinted, focusing intently on the opponent. The next moment, he began shooting, the scorching rays striking swiftly and piercing through Furious Beast's head!
"Roar—" A painful cry erupted from Furious Beast's mouth; it was astonishing that it remained alive even after being hit in the head!
"Fire!"
Ye Yu remained calm; he knew that Furious Beast was on its last legs! In the next moment, the Phase Gun in his hand continued to unleash terrifying beams of heat.
"Zing zing zing!" Several beams pierced through Furious Beast, instantly creating multiple holes in its body.
The pale blue blood of Furious Beast gushed out, quickly staining the desert sands a light blue.
"Is that all there is to it? Just like that, it's dead!" Wang Jiu remarked as he approached, seeing Furious Beast lying on the ground.
At that moment, Ye Yu's ears twitched slightly; a faint sound of breathing reached his ears.
"Heart!" Suddenly, Ye Yu's expression changed drastically as he shouted loudly.
