Chapter Twelve: The Restless New Life

  "A gift for the wine festival?"

  The assistant coaches' words made Hu Siming feel a little happier. Although the previous efforts were simply for victory and had no other thoughts, at this moment, he still got extra rewards, which unexpectedly delighted him.

  What's inside?

  Just as he was thinking this, Ah Wen's eyes lit up with expectation, and he chuckled: "It's just a lottery for newcomers, don't think too much about it. Although if you're lucky, you might occasionally get something relatively rare, but most of the time it's just experience potions or low-level treasures like +1 strength or something."

  "That's okay too."

  Holding onto the idea that having is better than not having, Hu Shiming accepted it relatively optimistically.

  However, the other freshmen on Tianhui High Ground didn't think so. If there were no extra rewards, they would not be willing to take the risk of death penalty to help. If there were benefits, it would be a different story. Now that the hidden reward is about to be assigned to others, they can't help but make noise.

  "There are hidden rewards, if we had known earlier, we would have helped too!"

  "On a battlefield, is there only one gift of the Wine Festival? Is it still worth striving for now?"

  "There are so many newborns here, why should he be given one? It's not fair!"

  At first, only a few people spoke up. But seeing someone echo, the newcomers' courage suddenly increased a lot, and they all spoke out in the team channel.

  Such an attitude infuriated five assistant instructors.

  After staying in the Death Academy for a long time, people's temper will become more or less irritable. Not to mention that in front of freshmen, teaching assistants have absolute power and position advantages. Seeing that the freshmen dared to question, the worst-tempered Earthshaking Bull directly got angry.

  "Shut up, all of you!"

  He let out a loud roar, scaring all the freshmen. After they quickly quieted down, the fierce and intimidating God Cow spoke in a harsh tone: "I just taught you to respect your seniors, but it seems my previous words were all in vain. It looks like I haven't educated you enough! Listen up, from now on, whoever dares to utter another word will face my ruthless punishment after we leave the battlefield!"

  His tone was extremely severe, making freshmen subconsciously recall the scene where teaching assistants deliberately showed off their authority.

  The communication channel fell completely silent.

  The earliest troublemakers among the new students felt a little uneasy in their hearts. It was only then that they remembered, this wasn't the real world, but rather the mysterious Blade Tower Death Academy!

  "Why isn't anyone saying anything? Are you all scared now?"

  After a few seconds, seeing that the newcomers really didn't make a sound, the Divine Bull finally let out a cold snort and continued to mock: "With your appearance, you still want to hide the reward, how shameless!"

  After scolding the newborns severely, the Earthshaking Divine Bull still felt unsatisfied. He paused for a moment, seemingly thinking of something mischievous, and then changed his tone: "However, what you said isn't entirely unreasonable either. Alright, I'll give you an opportunity. From now on, whoever can complete the optional task will make me reconsider the ownership of the Undying Cauldron. Do you understand my meaning?"

  He put emphasis on the word "consider".

  Lure the enemy's assistant to rush the tower, and still be able to retreat unscathed. Among the freshmen present, not many have the confidence to do so. But just killing five enemy soldiers or even wild monsters, they still have the confidence to try. Being provoked by the Divine Cow like this, the freshmen on Tianhui High Ground immediately became a bit restless.

  As newborns, they have no reason to be worse than Hu Shiming!

  The current situation is already very clear, the Nightmares Legion was forced to shrink. In a few places where visibility is still available, Tianhui's half court is almost safe. The new students on the scene also have the ability to control the battlefield, and after a brief hesitation, they opened their prop boxes one after another, took out their weapons and entered the game.

  Seeing the first batch, there were seven or eight new students rushing down from the high ground, and more people watching. The all-around knight couldn't help but sigh.

  "These newborns are doomed!"

  "Some guys are indeed more annoying, they just need to be given a bit of a hard time." The teaching assistant chimed in.

  Tian Nu's expressionless face said, "Anyway, dying on the battlefield doesn't deduct from our lifespan. At most, we'll just suffer a bit after being reborn. That's not a big deal. If we can complete the optional task, that would be even better. Later on, they will definitely be grateful to us."

  "The Dark Night King has killed a newborn of the Heavenly Glory Legion!"

  Just as the assistant instructors were speaking, a sudden warning of battlefield severity appeared, startling them.

  "So fast!"

  Several assistant instructors had anticipated that the newcomer would have a lot of bad luck, but they never thought it would be so fast. After confirming the location of death, they immediately reacted. The newcomer who ventured to the upper road just now should have been discovered by the Dark Night King's night vision and instantly killed with an empty skill.

  Even death itself doesn't know how it died...

  The Earthshaker Divine Ox was somewhat delighted by the misfortune of others, but before he could say anything, Tianhui Wilderness suddenly lost three more people!

  A bold new team entered the wild, wanting to see if they could defeat some monsters and complete a quest. Unfortunately, just as they passed by the big wild point, the prophet activated his global ultimate skill, supporting the small-scale battle in the lower road. Due to the vision provided by the three newcomers, the Ursa Warrior in the wild was awakened by Nature's Wrath damage. The enraged bear put its hatred on the new team that was passing by and directly initiated Thunder Clap.

  The sky is falling and the earth is cracking apart.

  This skill has a 25% slow effect and deals 150 points of range damage.

  In comparison to the hero's skill, 150 damage is really mediocre, but for newcomers it's devastating. Without attributes, this hit would be enough to kill them. Even after a physical examination, the three of them were left with residual blood after the earthquake. Feeling the piercing pain, the three of them were scared out of their wits, and subconsciously turned around to escape. However, their attributes were really too low, and their movement speed was only 240 points, and now they were being slowed down by Thunder Trample, it was simply adding insult to injury!

  The ferocious Ursa warrior caught up with them easily and slapped one of them dead with a single swipe.

  Newborns' armor type is just ordinary armor, not powerful heroic armor, and does not have 50% damage reduction when facing wild monsters. Moreover, bear monsters are the strongest among ordinary wild monsters on the battlefield, with chaotic attacks that ignore armor types. Even if there was heroic armor, it would be useless!

  Four new students died in a row, which really scared the new students who were watching from Tianhui High Ground.

  Although it was only a few seconds later, the newborn who was killed really revived in the spring water. However, the pain and terror experienced at the time of being killed were real. They had just come into contact with the Blade Tower Academy and found it difficult to bear this fear, their previous arrogance was shattered by reality. The newcomer who was finally slapped to death by a bear monster even sat in the spring water with his legs softened, and it took half a minute for him to catch his breath.

  However, what they didn't know was that after the battle ended and they returned to the academy, they would still receive an even more severe death penalty from the principal!

  "Indeed, ignorance is bliss..."

  A string of newborn deaths prompted the wired prophet to let out a sigh in the battlefield channel.

  The Earthshaking Divine Ox flipped through the school emblem's battle records, coldly snorting: "It's already hard to come by a decent seedling, yet they really think each and every one of them is a genius. Wait till the entrance exams are out, they'll have their own bitter fruit to eat. I truly want to see them rolling around on the ground in pain, yet unable to faint no matter what."

  Their words, the newcomers could also hear in the battlefield channel. Hearing the unintentional intimidation of the Earthshaking Divine Bull, the four newcomers who had died once couldn't help but turn pale one by one.

  The remaining newborns, even if they still have a desire for adventure, are inevitably extinguished.

  Only a few people with bigger guts are willing to persist and continue trying. These students should be the better ones among the five new classes.

  Tian Nu Fashi combined the Atos staff at the mysterious merchant's place. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head: "I really don't know what the principal is thinking, insisting on coming to such an entrance exam. New students who have just finished their physical examination, what can they do in such a battlefield? Out of ten, seven or eight are either stunned or die in vain. Wouldn't it be better to directly attend required courses and come into contact with heroic legacies?"
