Time passed second by second.
After briefly instructing Cang Yue on a few things, Su Wu retreated to the back and stood beside the Lord's Heart.
[Countdown ended, Lord Assessment officially begins.]
Buzz~!
With the prompt, a gate exuding a strange aura silently appeared in the clearing near the wooden fence.
Clop~ clop~ clop~
Accompanied by footsteps brushing the grass, ten ragged goblins armed with wooden weapons crawled out one by one.
[Weak Goblin]
[Tier: Normal]
[Level: 1]
[Class: Warrior]
[Constitution: 12]
[Spirit: 5]
[Skills: Heavy Strike, Sweep.]
[Note: The weakest existence among the goblin tribe, emitting a foul odor at all times; please hold your breath during battle.]
Wah~ wah~ wah~
They looked around cautiously.
After confirming only Su Wu and Cang Yue were in the area, the goblin squad raised their weapons and charged clawing at Cang Yue, who was standing outside the fence.
Unfazed, Cang Yue calmly raised her right hand, her slender fingers pointing in the air.
Swish~!
A deep blue crescent-shaped arc shot forth from before her.
The arc grew larger as it moved forward.
Upon reaching the goblin squad, it completely covered all ten goblins.
Shish ~ shish ~ shish ~
Like slicing through melons, the charging goblin squad was cut in two.
In an instant, the first stage of the newbie assessment was cleared by Cang Yue.
[Lord Assessment Stage One complete. Proceed to settlement]
[Rest time: 1 minute. Without decision within 1 minute, settlement will proceed automatically.]
[Warning: If the Lord's Heart is destroyed, the newbie Lord will lose their title and be sent back to their original world. Please carefully evaluate your strength.]
"No settlement, start the next wave." Su Wu decided without hesitation.
The first wave was designed for those with average talents and ordinary troops.
To develop well early on, at least two waves needed to be defended.
As for Su Wu...
Glancing at the calm Cang Yue, confidence showed on his face.
Mythical troops plus SSS-Tier talent — if this couldn't clear a Lord Assessment, no one could.
Wah ~ wah ~ wah ~
Soon, a new batch of goblins crawled out again from the gate.
The number of goblins doubled to twenty in the second wave.
Not only that, they were physically stronger and wielded better weapons than the first wave.
For other Lords who cleared the first stage, these goblins were definitely a bigger threat.
However, for Cang Yue, the enemy's change was merely ants becoming slightly stronger ants.
Swish~
The familiar crescent arc appeared again, perfectly covering all the goblins without waste.
[Lord Assessment Stage Two complete. Proceed to settlement]
[Rest time: 1 minute. Without decision within 1 minute, settlement will proceed automatically.]
The familiar one-hit kill and prompt.
While other newbie Lords still bled fighting first stage monsters, Su Wu had already swiftly arrived at the third stage.
Compared to the first two stages, the third stage's goblins were more varied.
Goblin archers with bows, goblin warriors with shields, even goblin mages wielding staffs.
Well-equipped, tall goblins rushed out of the portal one after another.
[Strong Goblin Warrior]
[Tier: Elite]
[Level: 1]
[Class: Warrior]
[Constitution: 24]
[Spirit: 6]
[Skills: Heavy Strike, Sweep, Chop, Charge.]
[Note: Elite warrior of the goblin tribe, powerful but stupid beyond an elite's level.]
[Agile Goblin Archer]
[Tier: Elite]
[Level: 1]
[Class: Archer]
[Constitution: 22]
[Spirit: 7]
[Skills: Triple Shot, Scatter Shot.]
[Note: Elite archer of the goblin tribe, swift and accurate.]
[Clever Goblin Mage]
[Tier: Elite]
[Level: 1]
[Class: Mage]
[Constitution: 8]
[Spirit: 20]
[Skills: Fireball, Entangle.]
[Note: Elite mage of the goblin tribe, intelligence comparable to an adult human, very cunning and fond of ambushing targets.]
Twenty elite goblins—this was the third stage of Lord Assessment.
Known as the "Elite Stage,"
Clearing this stage greatly increased the reward.
However, after the first two waves had depleted most newbies, 99% of new Lords on Blue Star would choose to settle before the third stage.
Not everyone could start with a Mythical troop like Su Wu.
Most new Lords' main forces were Normal-level soldiers.
Even the lucky ones who drew high-level troop buildings at start mostly gained Elite or Rare troops through free recruitment.
But at level 1, even Rare troops faced extreme difficulty against a reasonably composed team of twenty elite monsters.
Swish ~
Just as Su Wu's thoughts drifted, seeing no more monsters appear, Cang Yue launched another attack.
[Lord Assessment Stage Three complete. Proceed to settlement]
[Rest time: 1 minute. Without decision within 1 minute, settlement will proceed automatically.]
Faced with the ruthless Cang Yue, even elite monsters were instantly killed.
As Su Wu prepared to start the next wave, an unexpected prompt sounded.
[Detected newbie Lord Su Wu cleared the first three stages in under 60 seconds. Condition met to unlock hidden function — Level Skipping.]
[Warning: Using Level Skipping will automatically jump Lord Assessment to the final stage. Please decide carefully.]
