Since the decision had been made to trust Shi Shen, Mo Jue said nothing more and began to synchronize with the members of his team.
Even if their individual strengths were formidable, they still needed to cooperate seamlessly to achieve victory in the team competition.
Although Mo Jue and Shi Shen's goals were certainly not the victory in a mere assessment, Mo Jue, of course, had to use victory as a carrot dangling before these people.
Of course, that wasn't all. Setting aside the star coins Mo Jue had promised if they won first place in the assessment, the favor of the Mo Clan itself was something these people desperately desired.
Mo Jue was adept at using methods of both coercion and enticement. With rewards ahead and Shi Shen behind, Mo Jue was confident he could subdue these people and make them serve him within two months.
Shi Shen sat in the system space it had built. It was pitch black, with only the light screen before it flickering.
This space was built by Shi Shen itself. Compared to the space 111 occupied in Luo Qi's consciousness, it was much cruder and simpler, but Shi Shen felt quite at ease here.
Here, it could pursue its ambitions, hide from the world consciousness or 111, and quietly absorb Mo Jue's power for its own use.
One of the images on the light screen showed Mo Jue training with his teammates.
The training was set by Shi Shen, precisely at the limit that their current age could withstand, with no time for rest, yet without causing the slightest harm to their bodies.
This training was even more demanding than what Luo Qi and the others underwent, but if they could endure it, it would undoubtedly lead to a qualitative leap in their teamwork and strength.
【Countdown to Final Assessment: One Month】
The list of teams participating in the final assessment was finalized. Students who did not form teams in time were automatically matched by the system.
With only one month left until the final assessment, teams formed automatically could not compare to those that had been assembled earlier, but at least they could still participate in the assessment.
Sometimes, lacking the strength to attract the powerful, interpersonal skills were also a form of strength.
Those who possessed neither of these strengths would naturally be at a disadvantage in the assessment.
The junior school's first year typically enrolled around two thousand students. With groups of eight to ten students, approximately over two hundred teams would participate in the final assessment.
This number was simply too vast, so the entire small planet was roughly divided into four sections, with each section randomly assigned fifty to sixty teams.
However, while it was called free deployment, it was actually based on the students' usual performance and displayed strength, roughly categorized to prevent situations where the strength of teams within a region varied too greatly.
Luo Qi clicked his tongue upon seeing the latest notification on his terminal. The school had truly spared no expense for this unprecedented final assessment, not only leasing an entire small planet with its vast wealth but also making the utmost effort to ensure the fairness and completeness of the assessment.
He wondered who had come up with such an ingenious idea.
"I suppose it's only you who could come up with such an assessment," Ye Yun said, taking a sip of tea with a faint smile, and looking at the principal of the Junior School opposite him with a sneer.
The principal, looking at Ye Yun with affection as he sipped his tea, completely unmindful of the tea's flavor, frowned and placed the teacup on the table.
"This tea was bought at a great price, it's just a small box, can you please savor it properly?"
Ye Yun's frown deepened, unable to comprehend what was so enjoyable about these bitter, leaf-like things.
"I'm asking you about important matters, why are you thinking about using this method for this semester's final assessment?" Kuai Shu Ge
The principal snorted, averted his eyes from the tea being wasted, and said with a smile,
"Isn't it great? The usage frequency of the training rooms has increased by 56.8% compared to the previous year."
Ye Yun also smiled a couple of times, recalling that his own son had been willing to leave the Insect Race's little prince to ask him how to control mental power.
"It's not necessarily a bad thing."
The principal raised an eyebrow, looking as if to say, "Right, right?" without any semblance of composure.
Ye Yun waved his hand helplessly, "Alright, alright, even so, there's no need to completely remove the protection, is there?"
The principal knew what he was referring to. For this assessment, apart from the medical team waiting outside the planet, there would be no protection on the surface of the small planet.
Similarly, any guards arranged by the Insect Race or other major races to be by these children's sides were all forbidden from entering the planet's atmosphere.
According to the Earth Star side, this was to ensure the absolute fairness of the final assessment. Moreover, each student would have a dedicated calling terminal. By pressing the terminal, someone would immediately locate their position and remove them from the battlefield.
Furthermore, those empty bullet shells that only emitted fluorescence had no lethality. Mech piloting was a bonus, not a requirement, and even when piloting, it could not be used for direct attacks. In theory, there should be no danger at all.
However, Ye Yun still felt a sense of unease.
He couldn't quite explain why, perhaps it was a soldier's intuition, but he felt that this assessment would not go as smoothly as imagined.
To put it bluntly, too many children held positions of great importance, and they absolutely could not suffer any harm from Earth Star, nor could any lives be lost.
The principal nodded, "I understand what you're saying, so the monitoring equipment will cover every corner of the small planet.
Each team will also have a dedicated camera crew for live broadcasting, with the footage synchronized to the guard team waiting outside Earth Star. The things you are worried about will absolutely not happen."
Ye Yun took a sip of tea, feeling slightly more at ease, but his brows remained tightly furrowed.
This matter had been decided, and Ye Yun could not ask the school to cancel an assessment that had been prepared for a semester just because of his slight concern.
Moreover, the school had indeed made complete preparations. Even if Ye Yun himself had prepared this matter, he could only achieve this much.
Ye Yun sighed. In the end, he could only personally guard the planet's atmosphere and try his best to observe these precious little ones.
Cecil frowned, looking at the person standing there. "You mean, even your silent following is not allowed?"
Gale's eyes were cold as he nodded, "Yes, not only the Insect Race, but all private guard teams are forbidden from entering planet d274." That is, the small planet used for the final assessment.
Cecil rubbed his fingers, a sudden urge to have Luo Qi withdraw from the final assessment surging in his heart.
He knew this was a rule, not specifically targeting the Insect Race, but Cecil did not want even the slightest possibility of Luo Qi being harmed.
The atmosphere in the room was so heavy it felt as if it had frozen. Gale's expression was normal. He had come to ask Cecil to think of a way, at least to let him stay by Luo Qi's side.
The little prince was so soft and adorable. One could easily imagine how many people outside would want to harm him. How could he be without anyone by his side?
