Chapter 4: Lineup

  "It's more than just difficult!"

  The assistant sneered and spoke out a cruel fact: "To be honest with you, just breaking through from an ordinary person to the quasi-hero boundary will stop seven or eight of you. In the end, only one in a hundred can 'pass the exam' successfully and obtain the heroic inheritance. It's unknown how many people will die in between. You'd better be down-to-earth and follow me to complete the entrance test first."

  This basin of cold water poured down on their heads, and the emotions of the newborns suddenly calmed down a lot.

  Although some people still have reservations in their hearts or are very arrogant about themselves, at least on the surface they have become much more serious.

  The assistant was also a freshman at this time last year, of course, he knew what these people were thinking in their hearts, but he didn't bother to say anything else, and just sneered: "Some things, I'll have plenty of time later, I'll naturally tell you slowly. Alright, now that we've seen enough, next, I'll take you into the real entrance exam!"

  Silver teleportation light, descends once more!

  ………

  Location: Da Yi Ji F District, Battlefield No. 04375.

  Camp: Radiant Legion.

  Mode: All Camps Random Shuffle.

  "Automatically joined battlefield team communication channel, shared vision enabled. Detected that this battle is a newcomer entrance test, obtained universal decoration box * 1."

  "Battlefield loaded!"

  After a string of subtitles flashed by quickly, Hu Siming and the others rejoined the battlefield. This time, the newcomers appeared beside the Tianhui Army's base.

  This ancient ruin building that emits infinite mysterious power is the source of power for the entire Tianhui camp. Not far ahead are two high-rise base defense towers, each over 10 meters tall, whose flames can easily kill any new-born on the spot. Further ahead is a war tree that can continuously produce Tree People soldiers. Although it's very quiet on the heights at the moment, new-borns who have played Knife Tower know that this is just a prelude to the storm. Before long, newly trained Tree People soldiers will be inspired by the War Horn and charge down the three highlands with killing intent, advancing day and night.

  "This is indeed DotA!"

  Among the newcomers joining the battlefield, many were fans of Knife Tower in the real world. At this moment, they couldn't help but let out excited voices as they personally participated in it.

  "What a fuss over nothing!"

  The assistant was the last to finish teleporting, and as soon as he appeared, he heard these words and said disbelievingly: "The knife tower in the real world is developed with this battlefield as a blueprint. The purpose of the college is to find people with magical affinity from it and bring them here to cultivate into heroes. As for why this is done, I'll say the same thing again - you'll naturally understand after a few months."

  Just as they were speaking, a silver transmission light reappeared beside the base.

  There is a new teaching assistant and the freshmen he leads.

  Just like the 5V5 team battles in reality, this freshman entrance exam, Tianhui and Yehuan also each joined five teaching assistants. Tianhui's high ground was originally extremely vast, much larger than in the game. But suddenly with a large number of new students, it became somewhat crowded.

  Five assistant instructors seemed to know each other and after gathering, they chatted casually for a few sentences before using their instructor privileges to apply to the principal for permission to start fighting.

  A golden light pillar descended from the sky!

  Each beam of light represents a heroic lineage. After receiving the temporary inheritance, the breath of the five assistant teachers became ten times stronger. Correspondingly, their original skills and equipment were disabled, and they received an initial fund of 825 gold coins. The five assistant teachers are all old men in the college, who are extremely familiar with this set of procedures, discussing the division of roads while buying exit equipment.

  Although it was very unfamiliar at first, Hu Siming still followed the assistant's instructions and opened the school emblem's battlefield statistics panel to view both sides' heroes.

  Own lineup: Bounty Hunter, Thunder Mage, All-Round Knight, Earthshaker Minotaur, Prophet.

  Hu Si Ming, after all, was a professional player. Although the game and the real battlefield of the academy were very different, the characteristics of heroes' skills, positioning, and formation coordination would not change. At a glance, he saw that the Tian Hui formation's matching degree was average, and overall it was a bit brittle. However, considering the random selection mode and the all-around knight, this formation could still be played, and one couldn't ask for too much.

  The lineup of Nightmare is: Patpat Bear, Shadow Shaman, Dajiega, Dark Night Demon King, Electric Soul.

  This lineup is not the best, mainly because of Da Qia's slow pace in the late game. However, if An Ye Mo Wang and Dian Hun are played smoothly, they will be very aggressive. If Pa Pa Xiong and Yan Yin Sa Man take out their daggers, four people can instantly enter the battlefield, and Tian Hui's fragile mages will have a hard time.

  "It still depends on how it plays out..."

  Hú Sī Míng thought to himself, cheering on his own teaching assistants in his heart. Even if the outcome of this teaching battle seemed to have no impact on him, having fought many battles, Hú Sī Míng still hoped that his side could win the final victory.

  "Rookies, listen up!"

  At this moment, the assistant who obtained the bloodline of Tian Nu opened the battlefield communication channel and made a final speech before the war on behalf of the five assistants.

  "The battle is about to begin, but with your current abilities, going out will only lead to death. So stay quietly by the fountain and don't speak carelessly on the battlefield communication channel. After the battle ends, you'll naturally receive common points and a newcomer title. Of course, if you're not afraid of death, you can also open the special privilege given by the principal and take up arms to fight. But I strongly advise against that, otherwise after it's all over, you'll find out just how unbearable the penalty for death is!"

  The assistant's stern warning really scared a lot of people.

  Although they already knew that dying in the academy wouldn't deduct from their lifespan, the instinctual fear of death built up over many years couldn't be completely overturned in such a short period of time. Moreover, the entrance exam's mission clearly stated that regardless of victory or defeat in battle, they would all receive general points.

  Since it's all the same whether you work hard or not, why bother striving so hard?

  What's more, until now, many newborns still have a little luck in the deepest part of their hearts. If all this is a scam, wouldn't going out rashly be true death?

  Such thoughts dominated their final decision, which was to stay by the spring!

  The new life of Nightmare's Camp also made the same decision.

  In such a situation, the distant end of the horizon transmitted a dull horn sound. As the sky gradually brightened, the war fog surrounding Tianhui Heights retreated like a tide, and the shared field of vision became much brighter. On both sides of the lower slope of Tianhui Heights, battle flags began to flutter in the wind.

  The battle is about to begin!

  As the second horn sounded, the three routes of the barracks opened simultaneously. The Tree People soldiers who had been urged on, killing intent soaring, advanced along predetermined routes towards the Nightmares Corps.

  Tianhui's side, after a simple discussion, the teaching assistants chose route 311.

  Tian Nu Fa Shi solo mid, Kong Ling pendant out, suppression ability off the charts.

  The prophet had a disadvantage on the road, so he used the Tree People to lure the enemy's troops into a mixed experience. For this purpose, he also specially bought a set of scouting guards, one for sealing the wilderness and one inserted on the high slope of the river channel. The Tree People who were summoned in advance, after the troops came out, squatted at the symbol point on the upper road of the river channel to brush out the recovery talisman. Because it was useless, the prophet directly let the Tree People destroy it.

  Bounty Hunter, All-Rounder Knight and Earth-Shattering Bull can take the lead on the advantageous road, and choose to open the fog according to the situation.

  "This detour isn't bad."

  Hu Si Ming thought for a moment and didn't find any problem with it. If he were to choose the tactics himself, he would probably have allocated them in the same way.

  The assistant coaches of Nightmare, how will they respond?

  As the two armies' lines intersected, the heroes of Nightmare gradually appeared on the battlefield. The Electric Soul, who was at a disadvantage in the lane, saw that there were three Heavenly Heroes lined up against him and hesitated for a moment before turning back to return to his tower, choosing to preserve himself.

  The advantage of nightmares is that Dana is developing.

  Papapa bear didn't show up, probably still in the wild area developing.

  As for the mid laner and Tian Nu Fashi's opponent, Ye Wei arranged An Ye Mo Wang. This is slightly different from what Hu Si Ming thought. It must be known that Tian Nu Fashi has a very long attack distance, and his early skills have strong consumption and suppression capabilities. An Ye Mo Wang is a close combat hero, even if he has a circular shield that can block damage and buys a small magic stick, he will still struggle against Tian Nu Fashi.

  Once the mid laner's Dark Night King failed to rise smoothly, when the first night fell, he had only one pair of shoes and couldn't bear the heavy responsibility of leading the rhythm on this side.

  "Could it be that this Dark Night Demon King's combat strength is extremely powerful?"

  Huxi Ming's first reaction was this, but he immediately realized that the dark shadow shaman of Nightmare had not appeared!

  It's all over!
