My Cell Prison

Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Perception Test
 

Despite the trip to the underground city, they returned empty-handed.

Even the dark side offered no market for ‘limbs’; custom orders were the only option.

The pressure-resisting potion also failed to find a suitable outlet due to an interrupted meeting with two regiment leaders.

Regarding the enthusiastic invitation from the two regiment leaders, Han Dong did not give a clear response, planning to make his choice at the knight selection.

Since he did not respond, the two regiment leaders would not offer rewards in advance, and the matter of limbs had to be postponed until after the knight selection.

Another thing that needs to be mentioned is –

Though the one-year cooldown of the Fate Space had arrived, Han Dong was unable to enter.

There were clear rules from the Holy City:

The corresponding Fate Space of the knight stage would undergo fundamental changes,

Not just the selection of fate events, the form of clearance, and the standard of events would change, the difficulty far surpassed the pre-Breaking the Breed stage, and newly Broke the Breed apprentice knights were prohibited from entering the Fate Space hastily.

It wasn’t until the knight selection was over and they had joined a corresponding knight regiment,

Then through the stringent fate selection mechanism, when a suitable knight team was selected, that they would be allowed to enter the Fate Space at a specific time.

Otherwise, the hard-trained knightly strength would be huge losses for the Holy City if lost in the dramatically altered Fate Space.

Therefore, Han Dong’s possibilities of acquiring limbs before the selection were basically cut off, leaving him to participate in the selection with his current state.

However, just the G Arm and Sand Arm had already transcended the ordinary knights.

Even more, Han Dong was a dual cultivation knight… his deep development of the G virus had also given him not weak melee capabilities. It was even not exaggerated to say he was a triple cultivation knight.

…

The next day.

The registration of the annual knight selection of this year was about to commence.

All Breakers who met the standards had an entire day to register individually at the Knight Headquarters.

At the same time, basic information of the registrants would be checked through basic equipment and recorded in the files of all Breakers to be used for the grouping of the pre-selection in the knight selection.

Han Dong intended to go with Abe, Dumps, and Winry.

Who knew that these three chose to ‘cut corners’; they had big shots behind them to directly sign up and divide them into less competitive groups, separating them from other stronger individuals, hence there was no need for them to sign up on the scene.

On Han Dong’s side, Mr. Black White did not look for him.

Han Dong obviously did not bother Mr. Black White either, so he could only proceed to register on-scene with Mia.

The Knight Headquarters was located at the central region of the third layer of the Holy City, falling under the jurisdiction of the Thirteen Knight Orders.

Even if a regiment leader made a mistake, as long as the personnel at the headquarters had proof, the regiment leader could be directly taken into custody temporarily.

The gates with the embossment of ‘The White Horse and Two Swords’ were wide open.

Apprentice knights holding a waist tag were allowed entry into the knight headquarters.

The number of knights who successfully Broke the Breed yearly was generally around one hundred, but this year was different… due to the opening of the dark side, those that came here had undergone secret training underground and had successfully Broke the Breed.

Upon stepping through the gates, Han Dong and Mia could immediately distinguish the students from the ‘underground’ through their aura.

Even though they were in the absolutely safe knight headquarters, this group of students who had lived underground for many years still habitually covered their entire bodies with cloaks, consciously concealed their presence, and subdued their footsteps when moving.

Among them, there were quite a few students emanating a strong aura.

At that moment, a courteous and quiet female worker came before Han Dong and Mia and briefly explained the registration process.

“Before registration, there will be a basic test.

Due to specializations being specific to individuals, please choose basic test projects according to your strengths.

Based on the projects you choose and your test scores, we will use them as references to place you in small groups during the knight selection.

Please refrain from choosing projects you are not good at. If you fail to meet the basic standard, you will be disqualified from participating in the selection.”

Five different types of cards were held in the worker’s hand.

Swords and axes symbolized combat,

Books symbolized magic,

Dog heads symbolized beast-taming,

Eyes symbolized perception,

Gears symbolized creations,

These were simply test projects given after simplifying the five basic professions… but there was also no hard and fast rule that the profession had to correspond to the test.

“I’ll choose this one!”

Mia, confident in her swordsmanship, surprisingly chose the combat test as the first choice.

“Then I’ll choose this…”

Considering the subsequent grouping issue, Han Dong did not choose the magic test.

Instead, he drew a card with an eye on it, participating in the test on perception.

“Test participants, follow the directions on the signboards in the hall and go to different testing regions.

Remember, do not make a ruckus in the knight headquarters, and fighting here is even more disallowed… those who violate the discipline, will be punished severely. Serious offenders will have their future knight statuses revoked directly.”

“Alright…”

“Honey, you have to give a good performance alright! Remember to meet up in the hall after registration ends.”

Mia had not fought honestly for quite some time, and prepared to reveal her full swordsmanship during the basic test, letting others know that students coming from the Mysterious Department were also equipped with rather strong melee capabilities.

As for Han Dong, he didn’t care as much and decided to play it by ear.

Following the signboard directions, he entered a room equipped with a large perception sealing formation.

All five senses felt the suppressive pressure of the formation, and he could barely see anything in the dark room.

The test instructions were very simple.

They needed to find the special chameleon that was randomly generated and hidden in the large testing room under the suppression of perception.

Currently, there were four graduates in front of Han Dong.

“Green Hill, all positions of the chameleon have been marked, the first phase is completed, time taken is 1 minute and 18 seconds.

Second phase, please locate the wandering ghost in the current region and make it dissipate within one minute.”

“Huh? Ghost?”

The student named Green who was currently going through the test majored in ‘Control’.

After Breaking the Breed, he had the more common ‘Talent Tree – Druid’ which allowed him to enhance all his senses by merging with nature.

But he couldn’t see the so-called ghost.

One minute of the test passed by, with no discovery whatsoever.

He could only finish his test with a puzzled look on his face, and dissatisfied, he stayed to continue watching other people’s tests, trying to find out where the so-called ‘ghost’ was hiding.

Then, three students finished their test one after another.

Using their different methods of perception, they all passed the first phase of the chameleon test.

But they couldn’t find the wandering ghost that was mentioned in the second phase.

The four recently Broke the Breed graduates gathered and privately discussed, suspecting that the test administrator was deliberately playing a trick on them.

After a discussion, all of them stayed inside the test room, intending to inquire about the issue with the ghost when there were no more people testing.

Just at that moment.

“Valen Nicholas, first phase is completed, time taken is one second.”
