The morning sun cast its golden rays, and the sky gradually turned a pale orange-red, like a painter's palette with rich and delicate colors.
The sun's light illuminated the entire world, as well as the hopes and dreams in people's hearts. At this beautiful moment, everything was filled with infinite possibilities and vitality.
Several principals of Qingcheng stood on the city wall, looking at this batch of candidates who were as vigorous as the rising sun.
"The college entrance examination trial is finally about to begin. If the novice trial was just a warm-up, then the college entrance examination trial is truly like a thousand troops crossing a single bridge!"
"Guess how many people from Qingcheng will be admitted to the University of Xia this year?"
"Last year, there were five. I guess there will be at least seven this year. Not to mention anything else, those two SSS-level students of the High's bastard will definitely be admitted to the University of Xia without any problems."
"Flattery, flattery!" Principal Gao Zhenyu was modest with his words, but his expression was uncontrollably happy.
"Wang Zhenglin from Experimental High School, with an SSS-level Radiant Blade profession! This person is sure to secure a spot. And Old Su, your Luo Jun from Yucai High School is also an SSS-level Shadow Dragon Lance profession. He should also be able to get a spot at the University of Xia!"
"That's already four. With two or three dark horses, I don't think seven spots will be a problem!"
One principal made his guess, and Principal Su smiled faintly.
"Luo Jun's goal is not just the University of Xia, but the top scorer of Qingcheng!"
The other principals didn't show any surprise upon hearing this. After all, in recent years, the top scorers of Qingcheng have almost all come from Yucai High School.
However, they all turned their gaze towards Gao Zhenyu. After all, Qingcheng High School not only produced a record-breaking Zhuge Ni this year, but also had Ye Lin, a monster with a level as high as 16.
Principal Su glanced at Gao Zhenyu and said calmly.
"The combat power of a job changer is not only determined by the level, but also by equipment and practical experience. If a high level alone guarantees victory, then why bother holding the college entrance examination trial? Just rank them by level and be done with it."
"Humph, does Principal Su know that one force can break a thousand methods? If the level is high enough, other things don't matter." Gao Zhenyu snorted coldly.
The two principals were at loggerheads, secretly competing.
Just then, with a creaking sound, the huge city gate opened like two walls, slowly moving to the sides!
This also meant that the college entrance examination trial had begun!
As long as one crossed the ten-kilometer wild no-man's land, they could enter the college entrance examination trial, which was the first hurdle of the college entrance examination.
As soon as the city gate opened, many candidates couldn't wait to rush out, including Ye Lin and Ji Lingyu.
Zhuge Ni, in order to defeat Ye Lin, decided to stay in the wild to level up, so she was also among the first batch of candidates and even rushed to the front.
More candidates remained at the back, waiting quietly without any hurry.
The first batch of candidates to rush out might not be able to reach the entrance faster, but they would definitely encounter fierce monsters sooner. Therefore, if they weren't confident in their abilities, they generally wouldn't dare to be among the first batch to rush out.
If they went in the second batch, they would encounter much less resistance.
Stepping outside the city, a foul smell hit them in the face.
It was the stench from the monsters, mixed with the smell of fermented blood. Many candidates vomited as soon as they smelled it.
This was the first time they had left the city. They never expected that the world outside the city was so different from the one inside.
Living in the city for so long, they had even forgotten that this world was surrounded by countless monsters.
As soon as they left the city, a beastly roar echoed through the sky.
The appearance of the monsters broke the originally tense and orderly atmosphere. It was a giant lizard over three meters tall, its body covered with hard grey scales. Its eyes glinted with a bloodthirsty look, and its long tongue kept flicking in and out, like a devil crawling out from the depths of hell, making people shudder at the mere sight of it.
"It's a Bloodthirsty Devil Lizard! A level 11 Bloodthirsty Devil Lizard!"
The examinees were immediately terrified and panicked, running in all directions, trying to avoid this monster.
The Bloodthirsty Lizard's speed was astonishingly fast. With each leap, it covered several meters. In the blink of an eye, it caught up with several fleeing candidates. Its sharp claws were as sharp as steel knives, and with one swipe, blood splashed everywhere.
"Ah!"
A shrill scream echoed across the wilderness.
This sudden bloody scene shocked many of the candidates. They were so frightened that they even forgot to run. They never expected to witness such a bloody scene right after leaving the city.
The several school principals on the city wall remained extremely calm. Only by experiencing the baptism of blood can one truly grow up. Otherwise, they would always be like flowers in a greenhouse.
Unless a monster of level 20 or above appeared, they would not interfere in the assessment.
Seeing the candidates running in all directions or being petrified with fear, one of the principals couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.
"This year's batch is not good. A level 11 Bloodthirsty Lizard has scared them like this. With so many people, if each of them used a skill, they could have easily killed the Bloodthirsty Lizard."
Just then, a black figure charged against the flow of people towards the Bloodthirsty Lizard. It was Ye Lin.
Ye Lin, expressionless, charged forward with Starfall Heaven Trace.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Activating the Yangshou Sword Technique, four brilliant streaks of starlight flashed, and the Bloodthirsty Lizard that had everyone running for their lives had its limbs chopped off, turning into a wriggling worm.
"What a terrifying sword! This sword must be at least a rare item!" one of the principals on the city wall exclaimed.
"Is this the forbidden spellcaster Ye Lin? At level 16 with a rare item, dealing with a level 11 Bloodthirsty Lizard is indeed a piece of cake. But why didn't he kill the Bloodthirsty Lizard?"
Just as everyone was puzzled, Ye Lin waved his hand behind him.
"Ji Lingyu, come and finish it!"
"Coming, boss!"
Ji Lingyu excitedly rushed over with his sword. By now, the Bloodthirsty Lizard had no resistance left. Ji Lingyu's sword ended its life with one strike.
[Team kill of a level 11 Bloodthirsty Lizard, reward 40 experience points.]
A level 11 monster should provide 110 experience points. Due to the team effort, the experience points were divided, reducing it to 40. The remaining 70 experience points should have been added to Ji Lingyu.
Seeing this outrageous scene, everyone was stunned.
Only then did they understand why Ye Lin only chopped off the Bloodthirsty Lizard's limbs but didn't kill it.
The Bloodthirsty Lizard that had everyone running for their lives had become a tool for Ji Lingyu to level up in front of Ye Lin?
At this moment, everyone had an urge to rush up and hug Ye Lin's leg, asking if he still needed more followers... ?
