Chapter 454 Hidden Rules

As Yibixi's words fell, the candidates who came to take the exam looked serious in an instant. According to the order given by Yibixi, starting from the nearest candidates, they went forward one by one to submit their applications for the Chunin Exam, and then exchanged for a number plate.

Numbers are issued randomly, which means that the original team formation will be disrupted. Of course, if you are lucky, you may also be lucky enough to sit together by drawing numbers.

But Asuka felt that the probability of this was too low, and if the ninjas of the ghost kingdom were scattered, it would be more beneficial to the next plan.

Everyone quietly stepped forward to get their number plates. It was Asuka's turn soon. Cai Ze came to Asuka and whispered something in his ear.

No. 278.

According to the seat distribution, the seat corresponding to this number plate is at the rear of classroom 301, and you can see the whole situation from here.

Came to a seat in the penultimate row and sat down, and Asuka sat quietly in his seat and waited quietly.

Then came Cai, who chose the number 151 and sat down in the central seat of the classroom in the examination room.

Didn't Bai Yan's 'cheating' behavior be stopped? It's really interesting. Asuka saw that Yibixi, who was the chief examiner, neither affirmed nor denied Cai's behavior of choosing a number plate with his eyes, but a complete disregard, and felt that the first test was getting more and more interesting.

Rather, as the examiner, Yibixi is very happy to see this kind of behavior.

In the face of any battle, a ninja must be fully prepared, and even use the surrounding environment flexibly to change conditions that are not conducive to oneself into conditions that are beneficial to oneself. This is also an action that is considered "legal" by default in the exam.

Because the real exam has already started before the examiners come, not just now.

Not only them, but some other smart ninjas have already taken action.

For example, the short ninja in Shayin Village, who I am very concerned about, carrying a gourd, is called Gaara, and he has already taken action.

Arrange some sand around early and spread it out, I don't know what effect it will have.

Asuka didn't feel that the sand was scattered casually, and it must have been prepared for some kind of 'skill'.

So, smart people are not alone.

This is also in line with the ninja's combat strategy, and it is tacitly allowed to happen.

It is impossible to eliminate such a guy in the first exam. Asuka made such a judgment in his heart.

His tactics can only eliminate those candidates who haven't realized the start of the exam.

On the contrary, those who were preparing to act before the examiners arrived, it is too difficult to eliminate them, and it will also make their actions full of loopholes, and the risks and rewards are completely out of proportion.

Subconsciously, Asuka ruled out the plan against Gaara, and began to observe the rest of the ninja, looking for 'prey' that could be hunted and killed in advance.

At this moment, a voice came from the side, and a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old walked up to him and sat down. Judging from the forehead guard worn on the other party's forehead, the other party was a ninja from the Kingdom of the Moon.

"Sorry, I lost something, can you pick it up for me?"

Asuka spoke to the female ninja from the Kingdom of the Moon.

"Eh?"

The daughter of the Kingdom of the Moon turned her head in amazement, and looked into Asuka's eyes.

Then said nothing, bent down, picked up a kunai that appeared on the ground at an unknown time, and put it in Asuka's hand.

"for you."

"Thanks."

Asuka took Kunai and thanked the daughter of the Kingdom of the Moon.

Then, while others were not paying attention, he took out a Bingliang pill from his pocket and took it.

Feeling the rapid recovery in the body and the rising chakra, the light in Asuka's eyes became even sharper.

After taking this special military food pill brought from the kingdom of ghosts, not only his chakra has been increased to a certain extent, but his recovery speed has also been enhanced.

In this way, in the next exam, he will not worry about the problem of insufficient chakra supply.

Although the body will fall into a period of weakness after the medicine takes effect, it will not damage the foundation of the body. This price is still affordable for Asuka.

Unfortunately, this kind of military food pill specially made by his father is very precious and rare, and he only carries two pills with him so far, just in time for the first two exams.

In the third exam, you can get supplements when you return to the kingdom of ghosts.

After all, the Chunin Examination only restricts those tools with too obvious external force, such as Bingliangwan, which assists ninjas from the side, and the recovery medicine that ninjas always keep on their bodies is not among the prohibited use.

That's why some examiners didn't take it seriously when they saw Asuka taking Bingliang pills, but encouraged it instead.

Because even if it is a written test, it does not mean that the process will be smooth. This is also a very cruel battlefield.

To defeat the enemy in the most reasonable 'way', this is the battle of survival that ninjas must face.

After all the examinees sat in their own seats, Yibixi coughed softly. The Chunin from various countries standing behind Yibixi all understood and began to distribute test papers, draft paper, and answering tools such as pens and erasers.

The test paper is back up and face down, so Asuka can't see what test questions are on the test paper unless he observes with his white eyes.

"Don't be in a hurry to turn over the test paper."

Some of the ninjas were eager to turn over the test papers, but Yibixi immediately stopped this behavior.

The ninja candidates turned their gazes to Yibixi, only to hear him continue: "Before you start writing, let me explain the exam rules. In addition, I will explain these rules, but you are not allowed to speak out or question, otherwise you will immediately get out of the exam room and be disqualified from the exam."

Everyone was stunned, a little dissatisfied with Yibixi's unreasonable regulations, but due to the identity of the other party's chief examiner, they didn't dare to question it.

Because of making a sound, you will be expelled from the examination room and disqualified from the examination.

With such a strict rule, no one would dare to try it.

Seeing that the candidates were completely quiet, Yibixi nodded in satisfaction, and said calmly:

"Then I will start to explain. First of all, there will be ten questions on the test paper, and each question will be worth one point. If you answer all of them correctly, you will get a total of ten points. If you answer incorrectly, you will deduct one point in reverse."

One point deducted?

The candidates were stunned.

In other words, if one person answers correctly, one point will be awarded, while the other person will automatically deduct one point for a wrong answer, turning it into a negative number.

This rule makes many candidates tremble with fear.

Because this in disguise increases the difficulty of the exam for candidates.

There is a negative score rule, which means that every question must be correct.

Once a question is wrong, the gap between the candidates and the candidates who answered the question correctly will become wider and wider.

If this is the selection of qualified candidates based on scores, then they must go all out to strive for 'correctness'.

"The second rule is to score by team. For a team of three, the total score of the three members of the team will be taken."

Ibixi's subtext is that he must be promoted in a small team, and if he abandons one person, he may fail the final exam.

"The third rule, if the candidates have strange behaviors during the exam, for example, it can be regarded as a means of cheating, and if they are discovered by the invigilators, they will be given warnings. If such warnings exceed five times, they will be disqualified from the exam and leave the exam room."

Five warnings... In other words, even if you cheat, you can only cheat five times. If you cheat the sixth time, you will be disqualified directly.

The candidates looked at the number of invigilators on Yibixi's side, and estimated that no one could escape from the eyes of so many invigilators.

Once you cheat, you will definitely be found out.

Seeing that some candidates seemed dissatisfied, Yibixi smiled lightly and said: "This is for your sake. If you don't even have this awareness, then you can stay in the lower ninja for the rest of your life. Xia Sanluan's cheating methods will make you self-destruct. If you want to be admitted to the Chunin, then show your true skills as a ninja. Any behavior of yours must be like a great ninja. You can't become a qualified Chunin just by cheating in Xia Sanluan."

The harsh words were like a heavy hammer hitting the candidates' hearts, and even the atmosphere in the classroom became unusual, like a real battlefield.

"There is one last rule, which is the passing score indicator. I believe this is the topic you are most concerned about. According to the second group score rule, the final score statistics are calculated based on the scores of the three members of the group and compete with the rest of the groups. The standard of competition is our examiner's business... As candidates, you only need to get as high a score as possible."

Score competition.

But as the chief examiner, Yibixi did not give specific standards, but digested them internally.

So is it based on the scores or the rankings generated by the scores?

This is an unknown.

It is precisely because of the unknown that I feel at a loss and flustered.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Yibixi's words. As examinees, they just need to get as high a score as possible, so as to ensure the clearance.

"By the way, in the fourth rule, there is another point, that is, if the score of one person in the group is lower than the average score of all qualified candidates, the qualification of the second exam of the three people in the group will also be disqualified."

The average score.

Another elimination rule.

The double elimination rule puts the candidates under pressure.

But no one dared to question Ibixi's words, they had personally experienced what the real Chunin exam was.

And this is only the first and easiest exam, it is so difficult, many candidates can't help but beat their hearts, doubting their abilities.

Even if you pass the first exam by fluke, can you still pass the remaining two exams by fluke?

While the candidates were at a loss, the Chunin from various countries behind Ibixi had already dispersed and sat on the seats in the aisle on both sides, holding a notepad and pen in their hands, sitting there either seriously, lazily, or sneering, watching every move of the candidates.

A suffocating atmosphere was created in the classroom, making the candidates feel like they were sinking into a bottomless swamp, struggling to breathe.

"The exam time is one hour, everyone, start answering the questions."

After saying this, Yibixi found a stool and sat down, closed his eyes and rested, and ignored the candidates.

There is an alarm clock on the desk next to it, and the timer starts.

Score as much as you can, and then drive down the rest of the test takers as much as possible. From the rules that Ibixi said, Asuka only had this thought in his mind.

Whether it is the total score competition or the second average score elimination rule, candidates are always required to get as high a score as possible.

Because the risk of a low score is too high.

It is true that no one chooses to answer the questions, and all get zero points. In theory, this is also a way of customs clearance, and it is also a loophole in the rules.

But this is impossible to achieve.

As long as one person breaks the tacit understanding, the rest will follow suit.

Besides, he is not the only one who has the idea of eliminating others. As a ninja with the ability to act, he must hope that there will be fewer and fewer competitors in the second exam.

Flipping the front of the test paper, Asuka casually glanced at the questions. The answers to the questions have been calculated. Even if they haven't been calculated, the process has already begun to be conceived in Asuka's mind.

There was only the tenth question, which surprised Asuka.

The title of the tenth question is very weird. It does not require thinking and calculation now, and the purpose of the question is not clear.

This question will be asked in forty-five minutes. Please choose the answer carefully after understanding the question asked by the chief examiner.

This is the title of the tenth question.

Asuka simply ignored it. Anyway, the form of the question will be announced in forty-five minutes.

As for the remaining nine questions, these questions are not difficult for me.

But Asuka can be sure that this is definitely not a topic that ninjas with very little knowledge can do.

And most ninjas are good at fighting, not solving problems.

This exam is simply forcing the examinees to cheat to score, and to pass the test in a 'cheating' way worthy of the status of a ninja.

Because the indiscriminate cheating skills will be seen through, warning five times, the sixth time will disqualify the exam.

The average score elimination rule is easy to see through. But the total score competition... Is the selection of qualified candidates based on certain scores or rankings? Asuka struggled with this, picked up a pen, and began to answer questions on the test paper.

Because he was the first person to answer the question, and the atmosphere in the examination room was very quiet, the sound of writing was quickly transmitted through writing.

Many people secretly looked over, looking at Asuka with surprise or reluctance.

Because when they were still thinking about how to answer the question, the other party had already started to write.

The calm and unwavering appearance is obviously the confident appearance of answering the question, rather than writing randomly.

At this moment, the girl of the Moon Country next to her took a sneak peek at Asuka's test paper in a concealed gesture.

Afterwards, Asuka heard the voice, and the Chunin invigilator sitting on the chair in the aisle was writing something on the notepad with a pen.

The daughter of the Moon Kingdom, the ninja, seemed unaware, took out a steel wire and a small mirror, or a bottle of potion, from her pocket, and started to act cautiously.

There is no movement on the proctor's clipboard.

Is it a legal cheat? Asuka didn't hear the writing of the Chunin invigilator, so he thought for a while.

No, not sure about that yet.

Then the Moon Ninja smeared the potion on the mirror, and the mirror disappeared out of thin air, as if it had merged with the air.

Immediately there was a tugging sound. This sound came and disappeared quickly, and many people didn't notice it.

Seeing that the Chunin examiners in the aisle on both sides still did not move, Asuka felt relieved.

While answering the questions with his right hand, he condensed on the index finger of his left hand and drew on the blank space of the desk, with traces of chakra remaining on it.

Sitting in the center of the examination room, Sai clearly saw the chakra marks drawn with her fingers with her white eyes.

The traces of Chakra are connected together to form recognizable fonts.

No problem, ready to go.

Seeing Cai of this signal, he sat quietly in his position and acted quietly.

The same is true for Xianglin who is sitting at the front of the examination room.

Her sensory ninjutsu clearly sensed the chakra traces left by Asuka on the desk. Although she couldn't directly observe it with her white eyes, she could also present the characters in her mind according to the shape of the chakra traces.

So, she extended her chakra and came into contact with the chakras of the remaining ninjas in the kingdom of ghosts.

At this time, under the signal of Asuka, the girl next to her, Ninja, stood up suddenly from her seat. The movement of standing up was a bit loud, which attracted the attention of some invigilators and candidates.

"What's your business?"

A proctor asked.

"Sorry, I want to go to the bathroom for a while."

The daughter of the Moon Kingdom answered calmly.

The invigilator on the other side was a woman. She stood up, put down the notepad, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

The daughter of the Moon Country, the ninja, didn't care, and walked out of the examination room. The female invigilator followed closely to prevent the other party from making any small moves.

After about five minutes, the two return.

Except for the tenth question on the Asuka test paper, the answers have already been written. These answers will pass through Cai, and then flow to Xianglin, and then passed on to the rest of the ninja candidates in the kingdom of ghosts.

After returning, the daughter of the Moon Kingdom sat there quietly.

The female invigilator who came back also sat quietly on the chair, only the scarlet color in her eyes flashed away.

Asuka was thinking about what to do next, Yibixi, who had been standing in front of the examination room, suddenly stood up from his seat, walked to the side of the female invigilator, patted her on the shoulder, and then walked back the same way.

The female invigilator was stunned, and realized something instantly, with a look of shame on her face, and then she held the noteboard seriously, without saying a word, very professional.

Didn't disclose...but the invigilator was not allowed to assist candidates. Asuka realized this problem and sighed inwardly.

No matter how many ideas I had, I gave up with the birth of this unspoken rule.

Because many of his methods are too risky, only after controlling the examiner with Sharingan can he use them with confidence to avoid being warned.

Just following Yibixi's actions to tell him that some rules cannot be broken.

Or... It was because his illusion was deciphered by the examiner that he became like this.

If Yibixi is controlled, does it mean that the whole exam can be developed according to his ideas?

Although this idea is worth a try, Asuka thought about it and realized it was too impractical.

Ibixi is a jounin, and seems to know Sharingan very well. No matter from which angle, the other party cannot be easily controlled by Sharingan.

And the Chakra that controls the Jonin consumes too much, which will put a huge load on his body.

The loss outweighs the gain.

Asuka twirled the pen in his hand boredly, but his eyes were always watching every move around him, especially the movements of the examiners.

Nearly six or seven minutes have passed since the opening. Except for the time when the female ninja of the Moon Kingdom 'cheated' and was recorded on the bulletin board, there is no second honor on the list.

Because besides him, there is no second person who has completed the questions of the test paper.

Cai and the others did not act immediately after they got the answer, but waited for the 'action' before answering the question. After all, there was still plenty of time, and there was no need to write the question so early.

Right at this moment, a buzzing sound came, and the range of the sound transmission was very small. If you didn't listen carefully, you might even think it was an illusion.

Snapped!

Asuka stretched out his palm and squeezed it lightly in front of him.

The surrounding air became quiet.

There is a crushed black bug corpse on the finger.

When pinching this bug, Asuka's fingers were wrapped with chakra to prevent the bug from being poisonous.

Is this the insect manipulation technique of the oily girl clan? It's the first time I've seen the real thing. Asuka flicked away the corpse of the bug on his finger, scanned the crowd with sharp eyes, and quickly found the other party's location.

Wearing a windbreaker, you can only see the back, but not the front.

But Asuka knew this person. At the beginning of the examination room, there was this person among Konoha Shinobi who talked with Uzumaki Naruto and others.

Remember... What's the other party's name?

Asuka tilted her head slightly, but really couldn't remember what the name of this ninja of the oil girl clan was.

But it's really interesting to hit his idea on his head.

Asuka continued to observe the surrounding environment.

The sound of handwriting began to come, and another person began to answer the question.

As the sound of handwriting began, the noteboards in the hands of the proctors also began to work like a machine.

Has it finally started? Asuka knew that at this time, the battle in the examination room really started.

As the number of answerers increases, more and more candidates use various methods to 'cheat', and the battle will become more fierce.

Looking at the mirrors hung on the ceiling of the classroom hidden by the ninja of the Oni no Kuni, Asuka showed a smile.

The mirrors he distributes are not ordinary mirrors, but special mirrors that can be reflected even with Chakra, and will have a certain boost effect on illusions, reducing the pressure on the operator to perform visual illusions.

Because of its own lack of hard power, Asuka made a lot of props in advance for this exam to facilitate his writing sharingan, so that it is convenient to use during the exam.

He does not have the excellent ninja talent like Cai, nor does he have the naturally powerful Tailed Beast Chakra like Ichihime, who can defeat the enemy with pure violence. If he wants to defeat all kinds of powerful enemies, he can only rely on this kind of external force to act.

is also his unique combat style.

After all, knowledge is in his hands, and it is also a kind of 'weapon'.

So, hanging on the mirror surface of the ceiling, red eyes emerged, emitting a mysterious light, and started hunting.
