“Actually having a full ten skeleton soldiers? Unbelievable!”

“This newbie, I remember he isn’t the rich second generation, right?”

“Even if he was the rich second generation, it would be difficult… No, almost impossible to purchase that many three-star remnant souls of the exact same soldier type.”

“This newbie likely came across some randomly appearing wild soldier building, huh, just another lucky duck.”

“Lucky duck? How could a wild soldier building possibly not have any monsters guarding it, would a newbie really be able to recruit some soldiers if they stumbled upon it?”

The examiners in the distance were all talking about it, ten skeleton soldiers wouldn’t mean much to veteran players, but for a newbie who’s only been selected for six or seven days, it was quite exaggerated.

After all, this newbie was of civilian origin.

Compared to their formations back in the day, the origin civilian examiner looked at Mu Yuan with more approval. Some examiners started to consider, should they introduce this young man to their daughters?

Especially since after the young man summoned ten skeleton soldiers, it was clear he was far from his limits. One could tell he would have great stamina, which meant he could have a happy marriage.

Across from the stage, Chief Examiner Jiang Cheng was quite satisfied.

Whether it was Mu Yuan’s formation or Mu Yuan’s physical fitness.

On this level, as long as he held his ground and fought steadily, it would definitely not be hard to pass the Lord Trial.

Examiner Jiang thought about this, but he didn’t show it. He merely reminded, “You still have two and a half minutes to prepare, you can familiarize yourself with controlling the soldiers.”

Across from him,

Mu Yuan was slightly panting. For one, he had to somewhat act out of respect for the other candidates; and second, he indeed had some physical and spiritual consumption.

If he had summoned ‘Bone Two’, ‘Bone Three’, or even Dead Bone, the consumption would have been smaller, but this time, summoning an evolved skeleton soldier did take some toll on him.

He was indeed still too weak, far inferior to the macho man next door.

While thinking about this, Mu Yuan also noticed the difference in actual control.

—In reality, he only ever summoned the great Dead Bone, Dead Bone was different from other skeletons, it had strong autonomy and never needed his control. Only now when he tried did he realize, it was as if a thread of consciousness was connecting him and the ten skeleton soldiers together.

He didn’t need to speak or give any eye signal, just a thought was enough to command these skeleton soldiers to do what he wanted.

And, the control was much more precise than computer control.

At least, on the computer, he could only control the skeleton soldiers to attack, defend, or move left by thirty centimeters, but now, he could also specifically command the skeleton soldiers to attack the upper or lower lane.

However, more specific operations, such as the Millennium Kill, Deadly Attack, and other moves, still depended on the specific comprehension of the soldiers.

Overall, personal command was much quicker, convenient, and finer than computer operation, no wonder the written test for resource assessment only accounted for 20% of the score.

Media operation, players only need to use it in the early stage.

However, actual control was not without its flaws, Mu Yuan thought about this ‘Spiritual Link’, it seemed to consume his spiritual power. The more soldiers he controls, the greater the consumption.

At the same time, his control range was only 50 meters, exceeding this limit would lead to ‘disconnection1, ‘lag’, ‘delay1, and other symptoms, this needed attention.

Although Mu Yuan had called out ten skeleton soldiers, causing much more of a sensation than his opponent, the highest level of his skeleton soldier, ‘Bone Four’, was only at level five. Most of the skeletons were only at level three or four, far inferior to his opponent’s ‘level nine great perfection master’.

At most, he only had a slight advantage in terms of grade and number.

Examiner:”???” You call this slight advantage.

But in Mu Yuan’s view, if he didn’t use any skills, his total combat power would not be much higher than his opponent’s, this battle was at best of a 70-30 or 80-20 ratio.

At this moment, the burly Examiner Jiang snapped his fingers again.

Out of the sparkling of his snapping fingers, two figures emerged.

They were two big, burly and muscular Goblins, not only were they one star higher in grade, they were also ‘level nine great perfection’ veterans, their body emitted a terrifying oppressive force.

Mu Yuan:”???” You don’t respect the rules of the game!

Examiner Jiang smiled, “With your formation, I can’t see your command abilities from just three spear-men, it’s quite reasonable for me to add in two Big Goblins, right?”

“Of course, no matter how this battle turns out, you will have a spot in the qualifiers and if…”

“If you can defeat this 2+3 formation, I’ll see to it that you receive some additional newbie benefits.”

The full title was ‘Genius Newbie Support Benefits’, only aimed at civilian-origin players.

However, this support was sometimes not activated even once in a year.

Chief Examiner Jiang folded his arms and looked at Mu Yuan: Come on, let me see what you’ve got.

Mu Yuan:”…”

Would it be awkward if he called out a skeleton warrior at this point?

Although…

“Two Big Goblins, and three spear-men, huh.”

He squinted his eyes, surveying the muscles, torso, and thighs of the Big Goblin, deciding… to kill the Spearman first.

Because, after all, the Big Goblin had plenty of flesh.

The three-minute preparation time passed in an instant.

The moment the countdown hit zero, the two Big Goblins roared like they were released from some restrictions.

The roar was deafening, even causing Mu Yuan’s ears to buzz. It was his first time encountering these creatures in reality, and the reality had an inevitable influence on him.

Facing the oppressive presence of the massive Goblins, Mu Yuan wanted to say, one could only understand after experiencing it personally.

He gritted his teeth sharply, and by the time he came back to his senses, the two massive Goblins had almost charged up to the Skeleton Soldiers.

One defense, two offense!

He quickly commanded one Skeleton Soldier to go up, taking a defensive stance, and ordered the other two Skeleton Soldiers to lag a little behind, so that when the Big Goblin launched an attack, they could seize the opportunity to counterstrike fiercely.

Simultaneously, another Big Goblin also met the Skeleton Soldier with a punch to its blade.

Things happened so fast that Mu Yuan hardly had any time to analyze, but being the Great Lord Shepherd, he was already accustomed to multi-line operations. He remained aware of his surroundings and constantly issued commands.

Boom–

The blue fist slammed into the Skeleton Soldier, shattered the small round shield, and struck directly on the Skeleton Soldier’s armor.

The blow dented the armor, sending fragments flying in all directions.

A piece of broken armor flew towards Mu Yuan, expanding rapidly in his pupils.

Thump–

When the fragment pierced the body of a defending Skeleton Soldier, Mu Yuan discovered that he was surprisingly calm. Without rushing, he let the other Skeleton Soldiers seize the chance, gripping their combat knives as they fiercely slashed at the Big Goblin’s legs.

A life-for-life slash!

Perhaps they had gotten used to the Cleave, their slashing was especially intense. Just a few strokes brought about significant effects.

Both big guys suffered from debuffs like ‘Slow’ and ‘Bleeding’.

This was the downside of not having a commander.

Although, within this short period, three of Mu Yuan’s Skeleton Soldiers were also wounded, their armor dented, but they quickly got up and continued the fight.

Battle!

Battle!

This was a real bloodbath – even if the Skeleton Soldiers didn’t bleed, the Big Goblin and the Spearman did bleed red.

Mu Yuan adhered to the strategy of outnumbering the enemy, trading injuries for injuries. However, the level of Skeleton Soldiers was, after all, low. As he juggled with the Big Goblins and gradually eliminated the three Spearmen, two of his Skeleton Soldiers were also knocked out, and three nearly lost their battle power.

He was left with only five units of Combat Power.

On the other side, there were two wounded Big Goblins who were still raging furiously.

It was time for a bayonet fight.

‘Bone Four1 picked up a fallen combat knife from the ground and took a cold shot at the Big Goblin.

Next, relying on its speed advantage, it continuously distracted the Big Goblin, who was injured and had difficulty moving. Sometimes it would pick up sharp objects from the ground to throw and distract, sometimes it would seize an opportunity to land a swift, cold slash when the Big Goblin’s attention was on other Skeleton Soldiers.

After a long, drawn-out battle of over ten minutes, the two Big Goblins finally collapsed due to excessive blood loss.

At that moment, Mu Yuan still had four Skeleton Soldiers left and won the battle with a small but decisive advantage.

Examiner Jiang:”…”

Other examiners:”…”

As a matter of fact, this was an impressive strategy; the troops performed sturdily; the newcomer’s commanding skills were excellent, but…

The fight earlier appeared fierce, suggesting a life-or-death situation. Why did it suddenly turn so sleazy?

This command is really…

Astounding!

A strategy that can win is a good strategy.

Jiang Cheng, as a top player among the players and an onsite command examiner, saw more than others.

In this battle, the strategy was indeed brilliant, but the steady elimination of the two Big Goblins also stemmed from the atypical combat power of the Skeleton Soldiers.

They were stronger and more agile than average Skeleton Soldiers.

So that’s how it is.

Jiang Cheng understood, he understood it all.

This must be the Skeleton Soldiers’ Talent that’s yet to be fully awakened!
