As time ticked by, most of the students in the novice realm had already come out. Some had even registered their levels and been picked up by their parents. But Guo Zhi Ni still hadn't seen that familiar figure.
This made her heart even more anxious. Most of the students had already emerged from the novice realm, so why hadn't Ling Ye's figure appeared yet?
When she first met him, his level was clearly higher than hers. So, Ling Ye should have entered the novice realm earlier than her.
If they had entered at the same time, Guo Zhi Ni was confident that her level wouldn't be weaker than anyone else's.
But now, many students from Qingcheng High School were coming out one after another, and Ling Ye still hadn't appeared.
Just as Guo Zhi Ni was puzzled, suddenly, a figure she was extremely familiar with emerged from the white light gate in the distance.
Guo Zhi Ni's beautiful eyes widened instantly. She was certain that the person in front of her was the one she had been thinking about day and night!
Ling Ye!
She would never forget him!
When she was facing the dragon-blooded behemoth and felt completely hopeless, it was this figure that stood in front of her, bringing her the hope of life and leaving a deep mark in her heart.
But when the white light vanished and she saw who it was, Guo Zhi Ni's expression changed from excitement to astonishment.
"Ye Lin? How could it be you?"
Guo Zhi Ni's expression instantly turned cold. Remembering Ye Lin's behavior of leaving her alone to run for his life that day, she felt extremely disgusted.
If it weren't for Ye Lin leaving her alone there, she wouldn't have been forced into a desperate situation by the dragon-blooded behemoth. This man was not even worth a finger of Ling Ye's, yet their figures were so similar. It was simply an insult to Ling Ye.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhi Ni's gaze towards Ye Lin became filled with disgust.
"Get away from me. You make me sick."
Ye Lin didn't want to argue with this woman and was about to walk away.
Principal Gao noticed the tense atmosphere between them and quickly stepped forward to mediate.
"Ye Lin, you're finally out. What level did you reach?"
As one of the two SSS-level transmuters in Qingcheng High School, he naturally had high expectations for Ye Lin.
Ye Lin didn't say much and directly showed his level.
[Ye Lin, Caster of Prohibitions, 16th Level]
After solving the problem of being monitored, Ye Lin had seized the last moment to level up.
"16th level? Not bad, not bad... Wait!" Principal Gao froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. "16th level?" !"
Principal Gao's incredulous scream echoed around, drawing everyone's gaze involuntarily. Everyone stared at Ye Lin as if he were a monster.
You should know that before Zhuge Ni came out, the highest record in Qingcheng for so many years was level 11. To reach level 16 in the Newbie Secret Realm within just seven days is simply astonishing. This rate of level-up is demonic even on a global scale.
This record is likely to remain unbroken in Qingcheng for many years to come.
"To go from level 1 to level 16, you need a total of 120,000 experience points. The highest level of monsters in the Newbie Secret Realm is level 10. Let's just assume that all the monsters you killed were level 10. Killing a level 10 monster rewards 100 experience points. That means... you killed 1,200 level 10 monsters in the Newbie Secret Realm? !"
Principal Gao began to count on his fingers, but as he did so, his vision darkened even more and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"That is to say... you have to kill an average of 172 level 10 monsters every day... without eating, drinking, or sleeping, you have to slay more than seven level 10 monsters every hour..."
"This... this..."
When they did the math, they were shocked. Everyone around was stunned by the figure calculated by Principal Gao. It was a level 10 monster! The most powerful existence in the Newbie Secret Realm!
Even with several people working together, it would take them half an hour to hunt down a level 10 monster. But Ye Lin could kill more than seven level 10 monsters every hour. Was this guy really human?
Even Zhuge Qianxing couldn't help but take another look at Ye Lin, with a curious expression in his eyes.
Ye Lin scratched his nose and didn't say anything. In fact, there weren't many monsters in the Newbie Secret Realm. Most of his time was spent looking for them. As for the time spent in battle... wasn't it just a matter of casting a forbidden spell? What was there to take so much time?
Everyone was still in shock, unable to recover. They had witnessed the birth of a miracle with their own eyes.
"Good job, Ye Lin! You are the pride of Qingcheng High School!" Principal Gao excitedly patted Ye Lin on the shoulder, his eyes full of admiration.
With this boy and Zhuge Ni around, there was no need to worry about the college entrance examination trial for Qingcheng High School. They would surely break through directly!
Two SSS-level class changers, one at level 12 and the other at level 16. How could other high schools compete with that?
He never expected that in his last year before retirement, he could still cultivate such two genius students. It was a glorious ending indeed.
Principal Gao grinned, his smile as bright as a chrysanthemum. The other principals also cast envious glances at him.
But just then, a cold female voice rang out.
"What's so strange about level 16? Don't forget, he's a forbidden spell caster. If he doesn't care about his life and keeps casting forbidden spells, isn't it normal for him to level up quickly?"
Zhuge Ni couldn't help but speak up. Looking at Ye Lin being surrounded by everyone, she felt uncomfortable.
How could such a person deserve this? Only someone like Ling Ye deserved to be treated like a star.
When Zhuge Ni said this, many people's expressions changed slightly. The look in their eyes towards Ye Lin was no longer shock but a hint of scrutiny and ridicule.
"So he's a forbidden spell caster. That makes sense! This profession is extremely special, trading life for combat power."
"Is Ye Lin crazy? He's casting forbidden spells like crazy in the Newbie Secret Realm. Other forbidden spell casters don't live past 25, and he's doing this. He probably won't even live to 20."
"Hehe, trading his life for a false reputation. What a foolish act."
"Don't say that. Others are frantically leveling up by risking their lives just to make us envious. Let him enjoy his glory for a few days."
Just as Ye Lin had been praised to the skies, now he had fallen just as hard. His achievement of reaching level 16 in just seven days had become a joke.
It was like learning that your friend had suddenly become rich but was dying soon. Would you still envy him?
