Chapter 1354: Chapter 1356: Another Shift in Camps? Chapter 1354: Chapter 1356: Another Shift in Camps? With a single move, he killed seven or eight examinees from the Alien Clan, and at the same time, those who remained alive were all severely wounded and lost the ability to continue fighting. Song Jian's strength both surprised and threatened the NPCs of the human camp.
After the initial surprise passed, the gaze of several human NPCs toward Song Jian became complicated, filled with emotions of awe, envy, jealousy, and longing.
“Hahaha, hahahahaha, you bunch of fools! You want to see me as an enemy, you want to besiege me, now die! Thinking of completing the examination? Wait another three months, hahaha!” To the side, the Leiying Patsha, who was blown away by the aftermath of the battle, laughed crazily. His body was covered in blood, and as he rolled, he got smeared with mud and sand, looking very wretched.
Some human examinees saw a few members of the Alien Clan on the brink of death and their eyes lit up. They stepped forward, hoping to finish them off since killing them could enhance the evaluation of their clearance, a higher level of evaluation could grant them a dozen or more free attribute points.
They had just taken a couple of steps when they were pulled back by their companions, who shook their heads at them subtly and hinted with their eyes toward Song Jian up ahead. These people were Song Jian's spoils of battle; if they simply stepped forward to reap the benefits, they might offend Song Jian, and getting killed by him would not be worthwhile.
Song Jian felt a wave of palpitations in his heart and thought to himself, “That was too careless of me; I almost got killed in a second and triggered the Enemy of Death God… That weapon's power is simply too great, it practically disrupts the balance of the game…”
After finishing off the remaining Alien Clan examinees, Song Jian walked towards the injured Leiying Patsha.
Patsha was already seriously wounded, and the fact that he survived the Thousand Swords Art was partly because he was already on the fringes of the battle, where the effects were minimal, and partly because Song Jian had intentionally spared him, not including him in the attack's range.
Although Patsha appeared wretched at the moment, he had already drunk a potion to stabilize his injuries, which ensured he wouldn't bleed to death. However, complete recovery would take a long time since, apart from the bleeding condition, he also had statuses such as bone fracture, severe injury, and weakness hanging over him.
“Hehe, you, are you here to kill me?” Patsha laughed boisterously. Originally, he had some regrets about switching to the Beast Camp, but now he had let go. With Song Jian's existence, the chances of the Alien Clan camp winning were slim, especially after their numbers had been diminished by a third.
“Answer a few questions of mine, and I won't kill you,” Song Jian said as he approached Patsha.
Patsha's eyes lit up, but then he realized what was going on and a mocking smile emerged on his face, “You want to get information on the meteorite fragments, huh? Haha, dream on. I won't tell you anything. If you have the guts, just kill me. I can just reapply for the examination in three months if need be.”
Song Jian suddenly felt a headache coming on. There's no real death in the Assessment World, which meant that he couldn't threaten Patsha with death. Moreover, the latter had entered this world three days early and had converted to the Beast Camp, making his familiarity with this area far superior to those like Song Jian who had just entered the game.
“Do you want to pass this combat power assessment?” Song Jian suddenly asked.
Patsha was startled; he had never really thought about it. After switching to the Beast Camp and realizing that the Alien Clan had started to see him as an enemy and after his failure to ambush the human camp, Patsha knew his examination was likely to end in failure.
Switching to the Beast Camp had been a gamble for Patsha. If successful, his evaluation for this assessment would be at least an S grade or higher. Unfortunately, reality proved that he lost the bet. Now, both camps regarded him as an adversary, giving no chances.
“Hehe, the main quests for all three camps are competitive. The Human Race and the Alien Clan's tasks are to obtain meteorite fragments. In contrast, the Beast Camp's main quest is to protect the meteorite fragments. The tasks of the three camps are inherently conflicting. If one side wins, the other two will fail. Do you really want your assessment to fail? Hahaha!” Patsha felt that Song Jian was treating him like a fool, hoping to deceive him with just a few words.
“You weren't part of the Beast Camp when the game started, were you?” Song Jian said indifferently.
Those words struck Patsha like a bolt of lightning, and he stared dumbfounded at Song Jian. A glimmer of hope resurfaced in his heart that had been filled with despair.
You see, who would choose to wait another three months if they could pass the assessment now? Who knows what might happen in three months? There were many who hadn't passed in years, while those who passed early saw their combat powers soar, already leaving Patsha far behind. Catching up to them would likely only be possible when advancing to the Legendary Realm.
“What do you mean?” Patsha asked with a trembling voice.
“Since you're able to switch camps once, why couldn't you switch a second time?” Song Jian said with a smile, although it was merely speculation in his mind, he projected a confident expression.
“Can you really ensure that I pass this examination?” Patsha asked with a look of eager anticipation.
“What do you think, between the Alien Clan and the Human Race, if a conflict truly broke out, which side would have a greater chance of winning?” Song Jian asked with a smile.
Patsha fell silent. Before, he would've said the Alien Clan without hesitation, for they inherently had advantages over humans and outnumbered the Human Race threefold in the Assessment World–an advantage that would've been a crushing force in previous assessments.
But now, Patsha had to admit that if a real battle broke out, Song Jian alone might be enough to wipe out the entire Alien Clan camp.
“I finally understand why the Alien Clan, despite having thrice the numbers of the Human Race, was still considered the underdog by the system…” Patsha shook his head with wry laughter.
“Just tell me, how are you going to ensure I pass this examination? As long as you can ensure my passage, I'll tell you everything I know!” Patsha struggled internally for a moment, his initially hesitant expression gradually turning resolute as he stared intently at Song Jian, asking word by word.
“Hahaha, wouldn't your chances of passing this examination greatly increase if your camp changed to the Human Race?” Song Jian laughed boisterously and took out a pale golden scroll from his bag, tore it open, and threw it towards Patsha.
