The videos of Zhuge Ni and Ye Lin's comprehensive ability assessment were played in turn.
Zhuge Ni's side was full of operability and extremely enjoyable to watch. With her naturally curvaceous figure, Zhuge Ni wore a tight-fitting sports suit that accentuated her hourglass figure, making many male candidates' eyes widen and their mouths water.
Zhuge Ni's process of clearing the levels was even more astonishing. At level 14, she demonstrated the limits of what a fire mage could achieve at that level. She was like a dancing butterfly, showing everyone what a perfect clearance looked like in each of the ten levels. Especially in the seventh level, when facing a level 25 Fiery Fire Wolf, Zhuge Ni fully demonstrated human wisdom. Although she was not as powerful as the Fiery Fire Wolf, she managed to lead it around like a dog for three minutes without it being able to touch her or even come within half a meter of her. Everyone was in awe.
"Zhuge Ni is truly the daughter of Mr. Zhuge! A tiger father has no dog daughter! Such operation and adaptability are top-notch!"
"Don't look at her being only level 14. I bet no one below level 20 can be her opponent!"
"So amazing! She doesn't seem to be taking an assessment but rather completing a perfect art exhibition!"
"Zhuge Ni's full score is well-deserved! How could she not be the first? There must be some bias against women!"
The candidates were in heated discussion, their eyes filled with admiration for Zhuge Ni. At the same time, they began to doubt the fairness of this comprehensive ability assessment. Zhuge Ni had achieved a perfect clearance, so why was Ye Lin ranked ahead of her?
They turned their attention to Ye Lin's assessment video. Compared to Zhuge Ni's extreme operation, Ye Lin's performance seemed rather ordinary. After completing the first and second levels to determine his level and three-dimensional attributes, Ye Lin did the same thing in the third to tenth levels.
Cast a forbidden spell, pass the level, cast a forbidden spell, pass the level, cast a forbidden spell, pass the level.
This process was repeated eight times. During this time, Ye Lin was leisurely and at ease, as if he were not taking a high-stakes exam but rather a casual spring outing.
When they saw Ye Lin's assessment video, everyone fell silent. Especially when they saw that in the seventh level, Ye Lin killed the Fiery Fire Wolf in the first second and then sat there idly for the next two minutes and more, everyone's emotions were completely ignited.
"Damn it! What the hell? This guy just wiped out the level 25 Fiery Fire Wolf with one forbidden spell?"
"Alright, alright, alright. The assessment is about escape ability. If you kill the chasing monster, nothing will chase you. I get it, full score understanding!"
"This guy is not human. He's a monster in human skin! Too exaggerated!"
"Suddenly, I understand why, even though both got full scores... Zhuge Ni is ranked second."
Zhuge Ni got a full score because her abilities could earn her a full score, while Ye Lin got a full score because there were only so many full scores to give.
In other words, if the comprehensive ability assessment were on a thousand-point scale, Zhuge Ni would still get a hundred points, but Ye Lin would at least soar to seven or eight hundred.
The candidates looked at Zhuge Ni with a tinge of pity. In previous years' exams, with her operation and level, Zhuge Ni would have been a surefire top scorer. But this year, with Ye Lin, a monster, around, Zhuge Ni would surely be overwhelmed.
Zhuge Ni tightly pursed her red lips, silent, staring at Ye Lin's assessment video over and over again, her fair hands clenched tightly.
She couldn't accept it!
He couldn't accept that he had actually lost to Ye Lin, someone he had always looked down upon, and lost so badly at that!
"Is there anyone who has any objections to the results of this comprehensive ability assessment?" Lin Yuan, the chief examiner, spoke calmly.
Silence fell over the Blue Stone Square. No one dared to speak up anymore.
Come on! With just one skill, Ye Lin had killed a level 25 Blazing Fire Wolf, a monster that was so powerful. Who would dare to object to him being ranked first?
They had all faced the Blazing Fire Wolf and knew just how terrifying a level 25 monster was.
"Since there are no objections, those who scored below 85 can leave the Blue Stone Square in an orderly manner. Those who scored above 85 should rest well and focus on preparing for tomorrow's arena battle," Lin Yuan said.
Soon, the candidates who didn't meet the score requirement left the Blue Stone Square. At this moment, only 104 candidates remained.
There were nearly 100,000 candidates from Qingcheng High School, but only about 100 remained. It was clear how high the elimination rate was.
The results of the comprehensive ability assessment were soon made public.
Several school principals who were closely following the college entrance examination gasped when they saw the results.
"Ye Lin in first place and Zhuge Ni in second? Oh my! Old Gao, your Qingcheng High School is going to be amazing!"
"Two full marks this year, both from your Qingcheng High School. You really have had a stroke of luck this year, old man!"
"It's not just that! Look at that fourth place, Ji Lingyu is also from Qingcheng High School! The top five, Qingcheng High School has taken three!"
"Old Gao, eat whatever you want these days. I suspect you've used up all your luck."
The principals didn't hide their envy for Gao Zhenyu. With such three students, Qingcheng High School would surely become a popular choice for college applications next year.
Gao Zhenyu was so excited that his whole body was trembling. He couldn't say a word.
He never expected that Ye Lin and Zhuge Ni would bring him such a big surprise, and even threw in Ji Lingyu as a dark horse.
It was truly a blessing from the heavens for Qingcheng High School!
Outside the examination hall, Ji Lingyu's father stood up abruptly upon seeing the results.
"Good! Good!"
Ji Lingyu's father was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. With a score of 96, Ji Lingyu could at least secure a place in one of the top 20 universities in the country. If he won two or more matches in the arena battle, he could even aim for the prestigious Da Xia Academy!
Zhuge Qianxing quietly looked at the results, her lips curling up slightly, showing no emotion.
The students of Qingcheng High School also felt proud of the astonishing achievements of Ye Lin and the others, and couldn't help but hold their heads high.
However, just as Gao Zhenyu was basking in his joy, an untimely voice suddenly rang out. "Old Gao, don't be too happy too early. Tomorrow's arena battle is the real highlight. After all, that's the competition for the title of Qingcheng's top student."
It was none other than Su Principal from Yucai High School. He had always been at odds with Gao Zhenyu and couldn't stand to see him so elated.
"Oh?" Gao Zhenyu laughed without restraint. "Do you think your school's Luo Jun can handle a level 18 forbidden spell caster?"
"Haha, who knows?" Su Principal gave a meaningful smile and then turned and left directly.
Looking at Su Principal's smile, Gao Zhenyu felt a bit uneasy, but then he shook his head.
"Just an old man putting on an act. How could a level 18 forbidden spell caster lose?"
