Chapter 55: High Scores
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the sky above the teleportation array, a female class advancement player in white armor slowly landed on the ground.
She was the examiner of the First Academy in Xinyuan City, the Rank 5
arcanist, Lan Ying!
Lan Ying’s appearance was quite charming, but one could clearly see a ferocious scar on her left eye. This was left behind when she fought against the abyss.
Many people present also knew her reputation, and her appearance also meant that the entrance examination had officially begun!
All the students took a deep breath and rubbed their fists.
“The first round of the entrance examination has begun. All students, please use your full strength to deal with the examination!”
As Lan Ying’s serious and clear voice fell, the teleportation array immediately operated. The blue light screen spat out by this huge creature enveloped all the students.
In the next moment, everyone was sent to an alternate space alone.
As soon as Zhang Xuan stabilized himself, more than a dozen Level 1 Long Haired Rabbits jumped towards him.
Crack!
Three Skeleton Warriors in silver armor appeared. As it slashed down ruthlessly with its saber, it instantly took away three Long Haired Rabbits.
After the second transition, the Summon Death Contract had also been strengthened by the increase in skill level. The Skeleton Warriors that Zhang Xuan had summoned were all Silver-rank! [Skeleton Warrior (Silver): Level 17]
[Health: 14,500]
[Agility: 1060]
[Endurance:
[Protective durability: 4000/4000]
[Strength: 8,800]
[Spirit: 340]
[Skill: Life-Risking Strike. Strength increases by 70% for 20 seconds. After the effect ends, the Skeleton Warrior will be paralyzed for 1 minute.]
The Silver-rank Skeleton Warrior could be said to have undergone a qualitative change. Not only did it look majestic, but all its attributes had greatly increased compared to the Bronze-rank.
One had to know that this was only the attributes of the Skeleton General!
[Health -8,800]
[Health -8,800]
[Health -8,800]
[Killed Level 1 Long Haired Rabbits* 3, Points +3]
This was the first stage of the assessment. Every student had to kill monsters that were constantly increasing in level and number here. The higher the level of the monsters they killed, the more points they would obtain.
However, this assessment was clearly not enough for the current Skeleton Warrior whose strength had reached 8,000.
Crash!
Dozens of Skeleton Warriors appeared in formation. The monsters that appeared later were instantly killed by the Skeleton Warriors before they could even lock onto their targets!
[Killed Level 3 Gray Wolf*3, Points +9]
[Killed Level 3 Green Leaf Gorilla*3, Points +9]
In less than three minutes, Zhang Xuan had easily dealt with a wave of Level 24 monsters. Then, the space in front of him squirmed, and a few Level 25 Swift Wind Leopards appeared.
However, it was also a piece of cake for a Level 25 monster to face Zhang Xuan’s Skeleton Warrior. Countless Skeleton Warriors instantly swarmed over, and the seemingly very powerful Swift Wind Leopards were instantly killed.
Zhang Xuan sat leisurely on the ground. He couldn’t check his current points in the space, but he estimated that his points should already be more than 4,000. “Who do you think will be ranked first in the first round?”
On the tall building, Gao Zhen couldn’t help but say. The other arrogant people thought for a moment and then gave the first place on the scoreboard in their hearts.
“I think it should be Lingyue. After all, her second transition profession is very outstanding in terms of monster clearing efficiency and skill range. She has the advantage in this kind of pure monster farming test, although Zhang Xuan is also very strong.”
“It’s hard to say. The class advancement situation in the other regions is very well-hidden. Currently, I know of no less than five powerful professions. There are many rare professions across the country.”
“Furthermore, we don’t know much about the Necromancer profession, but it’s possible that it’s better not to change professions after a second transition. This is all possible. Old Gao, do you understand his second transition profession?”
Gao Zhen shook his head. “They’ve been leveling outside recently and haven’t returned. I knew about their return last night, but I didn’t have time to ask so many questions.”
“No matter what you think, I believe Zhang Xuan can get first place.”
At this moment, Jiang Longhai, who was sitting at the side, said confidently. Although he knew that Jiang Lingyue’s profession had a lot of potential, as someone who had seen that scene with his own eyes, he knew very well how powerful Zhang Xuan’s profession was.
The principals rolled their eyes. They finally understood that Jiang Longhai had confirmed Zhang Xuan as his future son-in-law!
At this moment, students were being teleported back one after another. The students who had withdrawn at this stage were almost all at Level 10.
Many students who had been eliminated by the monsters had gloomy expressions. At most, they could deal with monsters that were three or five levels higher than them. If they couldn’t get high points, they naturally had no fate with the Four Sages Academy.
And this first round of testing was actually to test the strength of the profession!
At the same time, the scoreboard on the peripheral big screen was constantly updated. However, the scoreboard only showed the points of the students who had withdrawn.
Therefore, the current rankings don’t have much value. The first place only had less than 200 points.
Moreover, in fact, the goal of the first round was to eliminate most of the class advancement players who didn’t have the strength. This was because only the top 100 on the scoreboard were qualified to enter the second round!
One had to know that this was a national test, so the students who were withdrawing at this time were all in mid-level and below professions.
However, as time passed bit by bit, the frequency of the scoreboard’s updates began to increase. Some high-level professions began to appear one after another.
Especially for the top-ranking professions, in just a few minutes, the top 10 were all occupied by advanced professions. The points of the first place player even reached 1,000!
However, the audience knew very well that this was only the tip of the iceberg. Most powerful professions wouldn’t withdraw so early.
Although the jump in points on the rankings seemed boring, the audience was watching with relish. The eliminated students were also staring at the rankings.
The students who were eliminated not long after the beginning naturally lost the right to enter the next round, but they still wanted to see the peak of humanity in the future!
After half an hour, the rankings had also slowed down, but every class advancement player who appeared could increase the points of the first place player by a little.
The deans stared at the rankings quietly. They didn’t show much emotion because of the change in the rankings.
Because professions above the advanced level of each academy had yet to appear on the rankings, this ranking didn’t have much value now.
Suddenly, there was a qualitative jump in the rankings!
[First place: Chen Sen, Level 16 Shieldsword Warrior, Rare Class, Points: 2,200]
This was the first class advancement player to break through the 2,000-point mark. However, he wasn’t a student from the First Academy, but a class advancement player from the Fourth Academy.
“Hehe, how is it? It shouldn’t be a problem to get into the top three with 2,200 points, right?”
