SSS-Rank! Genius Is Just My Threshold!

There wasn't much time left for the mission.

The Dungeon entrance was packed with people.

Liu Minghui, the dean of instruction at West Forest City No. 2 Vocational Academy,

along with the head teachers of every class, waited with varying expressions.

The Light Gate flickered from time to time.

It transported out batches of students who had completed the trial.

Most teams only received E- or F-rank evaluations.

The results were too dreadful to look at.

The occasional D-rank evaluation

was already enough to cause a small stir.

Principal Qu Qingfeng also stood at the front of the crowd, his brows slightly furrowed.

He had just learned from Director Liu

that Lin Mu, the orphaned top student who had awakened as a Necromancer,

had actually entered the Dungeon with Su Xiaoxiao.

Qu Qingfeng felt weighed down.

Lin Mu was one thing.

But Su Xiaoxiao's background was anything but ordinary.

If anything happened to her at his school,

he would have a hard time explaining it to the Su Family.

"Look! A B-rank evaluation!"

A shrill cry suddenly erupted from the crowd.

Everyone's gaze, including Qu Qingfeng's,

snapped toward the Dungeon entrance, where the light constantly shifted.

B-rank!

This was already the highest result Second Vocational College had achieved in a Trial Dungeon in the past two years!

One had to know,

that among the freakish talents from previous years who had awakened extraordinarily powerful special classes,

one had even activated a purple talent at the same time.

Yet the highest evaluation they had received was only A-rank.

The rankings above the Dungeon entrance updated in real time:

First Place: Zhang Yu's Team. Members: Zhang Yu, Sun Yaxin, Wang Huairen, Hu Song, Xu Xu. Overall Evaluation: B!

The Light Gate twisted, and five somewhat bedraggled figures walked out.

The young man at the front was Zhang Yu.

Though he had several scrapes on his body, his face was full of uncontrollable joy.

"Zhang Yu, B-rank! You did well!"

Wu Dafan, Class Two's head teacher, beamed and lavished them with praise.

Zhang Yu was the top student in her class.

But he had always been overshadowed by Lin Mu from Class One.

It wasn't just Zhang Yu who had always wanted to surpass Lin Mu.

The head teachers of the two classes had also been competing in secret.

This time, Lin Mu had awakened the publicly acknowledged trash class, Necromancer.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu had awakened the extremely powerful Lightning Mage.

Wu Dafan felt utterly triumphant.

Swaying her ample waist,

she strolled over to Feng Yumei, Class One's head teacher.

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, yet it was clear enough for everyone nearby to hear.

"Oh? Teacher Feng, are you still waiting for Lin Mu? He hasn't come out yet?"

Wu Dafan covered her mouth in mock surprise.

"Oh, right! I forgot Lin Mu awakened as a Necromancer! And it seems he only teamed up with that Priest from your class, Su Xiaoxiao."

"Teacher Feng, tell me, a Necromancer and a Priest still haven't come out by now. Could it be that they've already..."

Wu Dafan deliberately dragged out the last word, leaving the rest unsaid.

Feng Yumei's face instantly turned livid. Her lips pressed tightly together, but she could find no words to refute her.

What Wu Dafan said was precisely what worried her most.

Moreover, Wang Hao from her class, who had awakened as a Flame Warrior, had not come out either.

Feng Yumei vaguely knew about the so-called "sparring" agreement between Wang Hao and Lin Mu.

That made her even more uneasy.

Meanwhile, inside a cave deep within the Dungeon,

Su Xiaoxiao picked up the blue ring dropped by the Goblin Shaman.

Without even looking at it, she handed it straight to Lin Mu.

"Lin Mu, here."

During this Dungeon run, she felt like she had been nothing more than a freeloader.

Even her healing had barely served any practical purpose.

Getting carried to an SSS-rank clear record felt like a dream!

This thigh was absolutely worth clinging to!

Lin Mu took the ring.

[Slow Healing Shaman Ring] (LV.5, Blue)

Defense: 1-2

Special Effect: Restores 10 HP per minute.

The effect was indeed slow.

But equipment that could continuously restore health was scarce to begin with. This ring was already quite good.

With a thought from Lin Mu, the talent [Description Tamperer] activated!

[Slow Healing Shaman Ring]: Forged from special ore collected by a Goblin Shaman, it could slowly absorb natural energy from its surroundings and continuously heal the wearer's minor injuries. Special Effect: Restores 10 HP per minute.

"Change 'restores 10 HP' to 'restores 90...'"

"No, no, no!"

Realizing what he was doing, Lin Mu immediately stopped modifying it.

"Change 'per minute' to 'per second.'"

The description blurred slightly before becoming clear again.

[Rapid Healing Ring] (LV.5, Blue)

Defense: 1-2

Special Effect: Restores 10 HP per second.

It worked!

The corners of Lin Mu's lips rose slightly.

As for the amount restored, it would not be too late to change that after the ring's modification attempts refreshed tomorrow.

It required Level 5 to equip, so he could only put it away for now.

The two continued searching the deepest part of the cave.

Very soon,

they found a battered bronze treasure chest tucked away in an inconspicuous corner.

Lin Mu did not stand on ceremony and kicked it open.

Inside the chest were several bottles of differently colored potions

and a yellowed skill book.

The potions were several Primary Health Potions and Mana Potions, nothing particularly valuable.

Lin Mu considered himself a man of principles.

Although Su Xiaoxiao had not contributed much, he could not let her leave empty-handed.

"Take these."

He stuffed all the potions into Su Xiaoxiao's hands in one go.

"Ah! I... I get something too?!"

Su Xiaoxiao was flattered and hurriedly thanked him.

Lin Mu still ignored Su Xiaoxiao and swiftly picked up the skill book.

[Skill Book: Bone Tooth] (LV.1, Restricted to Dark Mages)

Just what he needed!

A Necromancer was one of the most orthodox Dark Mage classes!

Once he got out and leveled up, he could immediately learn this new skill!

After searching carefully once more,

and confirming there was nothing else to be found, the two quietly waited for the Dungeon time to end.

Outside the Dungeon, at the entrance,

the atmosphere remained lively.

Students were still being teleported out from time to time.

There were less than thirty minutes left before the Dungeon's three-hour limit expired.

Generally speaking,

teams that had not come out by now had either already been wiped out inside or had yet to complete their mission.

Only a very small number of powerful teams

would choose to continue hunting monsters after finishing the basic mission.

They did so in hopes of earning a higher evaluation.

Suddenly,

the Light Gate at the Dungeon entrance flickered again.

But after witnessing Zhang Yu's team receive a B-rank evaluation,

the crowd did not hold much hope this time.

Only the teachers and students anxiously waiting for their friends or students to return

continued staring at the Light Gate.

"Holy shit! Am I blind?!"

A student rubbing his eyes suddenly let out an incredulous scream.

"Quick, help me look! Is that... is that fucking SSS?!"

It was like a thunderclap splitting the heavens!

Everyone's eyes, like iron filings drawn to a magnet,

instantly focused on the flickering rankings above the Light Gate!

Dungeon Rankings:

First Place: Lin Mu's Team. Members: Lin Mu, Su Xiaoxiao. Overall Evaluation: SSS!

"Lin Mu?! That Necromancer?!"

More than one person cried out in shock.

After all, during that morning's awakening ceremony,

the news that Lin Mu, the top student of the year, had awakened the most useless special class, Necromancer, had already spread throughout the entire academy.

It had left a deep impression on countless people.

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! Can someone fucking explain this to me?! Do Necromancers and Priests have some god-tier synergy?!"

"I remember... ever since the Great Cataclysm, the highest Trial Dungeon record in every city on Blue Star seemed to be only S-rank, achieved by those two legendary professionals who activated rainbow talents, right?"

"That's right! One was Worth Page, the God Mage of the American Federation! The other was Huaxia's Guardian Deity, Lord Diwu Weifeng, the Cultivator!"

The discussions erupted like a boiling cauldron, deafeningly loud.

Amid the uproar,

a gentle white light flashed.

Lin Mu and Su Xiaoxiao appeared in the academy plaza.

The moment he stepped out of the Light Gate, a flood of notifications rang out in Lin Mu's mind.

[Professional Lin Mu has completed the Trial Dungeon mission and unlocked all Professional functions.]

[Congratulations to Professional Lin Mu for creating the Trial Dungeon's sole SSS-rank clear record!]

[Professional Lin Mu has received the unique reward: Resurrection Scroll ×1.]

[Professional Lin Mu has received the unique title: Genius Is Just My Threshold.]

[Necromancer Lin Mu has reached LV.4.]
