I'm Kindhearted; I Couldn't Bear to See Others Eliminated in the Preliminary Round, So I Had No Choice but to Eliminate Everyone
Time seemed to stand still.
"How is this possible!" A scream came from Ling Yiyi 'Ying Luohong side:
"Unless everyone in the examination hall is dead by the end of the test, and only one person survives, what exactly did he do?!"
"Was there an error in the assessment?!"
Moreover, Ling Yiyi could also hear the voices of other examiners coming through her communicator one after another:
"Dean, the assessment on the Home Planet is over, and the assessment on Tiandou Planet is over. Dean, it ended way too quickly! The system didn't even have time to calculate the scores before everyone was eliminated. Now everyone except Lin Yuan has zero points. What should we do?"
"Quiet down, all of you! I don't know what to do either! Ling Yiyi, go and watch the replay, see what really happened?"
"Yes."
After responding, Ling Yiyi resumed the paused recording, not starting from where it ended, but rewinding continuously until she saw Lin Yuan leave.
What happened next left everyone feeling as if they had seen a ghost.
The moment Lin Yuan took off and accelerated, the signal suddenly became distorted, the picture flickered, frames skipped, and the crackling sound of electricity was irritating.
Three seconds later, the scene returned to normal, and Lin Yuan had already arrived at the previously paused scene, in that ordinary-looking lava pool.
This is it.
Everyone held their breath, moved closer to the screen, and watched Lin Yuan intently.
"The temperature of this magma pool is only around 80 degrees Celsius, which is completely different from the temperature of real magma, which can easily reach thousands of degrees. As long as a Soul Master uses their Soul Power to protect themselves, they can survive here. They just need to remember to surface for fresh air every now and then."
Ling Yiyi murmured to herself.
The inner court disciple next to him nodded.
And just as Ling Yiyi had guessed, Lin Yuan plunged headfirst into the lava, but less than two seconds later...
He flew out again, the signal became distorted again, and the crackling sound of electricity returned.
Just how fast is he?
The inner court disciples nearby muttered to themselves.
The moment the image was restored.
Lin Yuan had already flown to a height of a thousand meters, and beneath his feet, the valley had completely transformed into a sea of lava.
Glug glug.
The bubbling, scorching bubbles seemed like echoes from hell.
"The assessment is over."
The image freezes.
The inner court disciple next to Ling Yiyi looked as if he had seen a ghost, muttering to himself:
"What the hell is this? Why did the volcano suddenly erupt?"
Ying Luohong, on the other end of the communicator, said:
"I retrieved the recording of the entrance exam for the Tianluo Academy. The way he passed the exam last time was exactly the same as this time. I never expected that this famous Child of Stars would actually have such battlefield intelligence. He has already inherited some of Zoffy's true skills."
At this point, Ying Luohong suddenly fell silent. The sound of her operating the device seemed to indicate that she was sending the video that Ling Yiyi had sent her to other people.
After waiting for about five minutes, Ling Yiyi asked:
"The assessment is over. Should I go pick up Lin Yuan?"
"No, you're not needed anymore. The way he ended the battle was truly unexpected. Now, the Academy has sent someone more professional—oh no, a senior—to take over. But this will take a little time. Please, senior, come out of retirement."
Meanwhile, in the examination hall, amidst a sea of lava.
There was a Earthfire Lizard was much larger than the average Earthfire Lizard. It was only a thousand years old, but it had already shown signs of dragonhood. It endured the scorching heat of the rolling lava and walked on the waves.
Suddenly, a dark cloud descended, and when it looked up, it saw a tall platform appearing on the horizon.
Is this a celestial sect?
It was once a prodigy of the Earthfire Lizard clan, capable of transcending realms by five hundred years in a hundred years of cultivation. It then reached the pinnacle of the Earthfire Lizard clan, giving birth to the legendary Dragon Scales. It was invincible among its peers, and the clan of lizards placed high hopes on it, expecting it to one day ascend to become a dragon. However, it was extinguished by a sudden volcanic eruption.
It roared in defiance!
Aww!
At that moment, the Ascension Immortal Platform seemed to sense its unwillingness, and a branch slowly descended, opening the gate to ascension for it.
It struggled to climb, and the branch slowly ascended. Before long, it reached the Ascension Platform and saw the true face of the immortal.
"Ugh, when will this assessment finally end?"
The immortal uttered a sorrowful sound.
In an instant, an unparalleled thrust came.
It was pushed off the ascension platform and fell back into the sea of lava. Looking at the ascension platform, it thought of the ruthlessness of the immortal.
Aww! (Don't ascend! Ascension is a trap!)
On the stone platform made of ' Universal Pull ', Lin Yuan idly rested his chin on his hand, amusing himself with a fishing rod without a hook. Whenever a fish bit the line, Lin Yuan would send it back into the lava sea to pass the time.
Does this mean we have to defeat every Earthfire Lizard?
But the Earthfire Lizard can revive.
Lin Yuan Youyou down at another pool of low-temperature magma, where countless Earthfire Lizard were crawling out, but there was no one there.
"Didn't I eliminate everyone? I didn't even spare Little Dragon God and Dong Qianqiu. Why haven't they left yet?"
Lin Yuan pondered Youyou.
The volcano being assessed this time is different from ordinary volcanoes with pointed tops; it appears as if the entire mountain has been cut in half.
The upper half of the mountain was completely gone, leaving only a huge, irregularly shaped, bowl-shaped crater, roughly thirty kilometers in radius.
This is a caldera.
In a past life, there was a similar but more extreme example to this volcanic crater: Yellowstone Volcano.
It is known as the world's largest volcano.
If it were to erupt, the consequences would be catastrophic for the world.
The reason Lin Yuan ran to the lava pool where Lan Xuanyu was hiding in the original novel was because the temperature of that place in the original novel was only eighty degrees Celsius, which made him guess that the area below was unstable.
Then, a single Super Almighty Push destroyed everything.
The effect was remarkable. The energy that had been accumulating in the volcano for who knows how long suddenly erupted, instantly sweeping across the examination hall. The earth cracked, the volcano erupted, and the magma column that spewed out reached hundreds of meters high.
It was so dark and chaotic, it felt like the end of the world.
As for the Crimson Fire Earth Dragon, whose cultivation level was tens of thousands of years in the original work, it was simply crushed by the erupting lava.
Lin Yuan still remembers the excitement his classmates felt when they saw the lava, and the trembling of the Soul Beast.
Now, he was the One Person left in the huge examination hall.
After an unknown amount of time, a strange spatial rift suddenly appeared behind Lin Yuan.
An extremely strange Soul Beast, never seen in any written records, emerged from it.
Lin Yuan did not turn around, but instead used his Divine Power to scan its appearance.
The strange Soul Beast had the lower half of a horse and the upper half of a human, remarkably similar to the legendary centaur. It had two heads, one ferocious and the other kind. The ferocious one was male, and the kind one was female.
Good-Evil Centaur?
Aren't these the two examiners from the original story who, after the Little Dragon God launched a heavy attack on the team that betrayed him, were then dragged in for a character assessment?
Seven Sacred Abyss?
Seven Old Devils?
But since they didn't take me to that so-called mysterious space, was it because they were too pressed for time?
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan instantly became wary. After all, the Seven Old Devils of the Seven Sacred Abyss were notorious for their perverse tastes, constantly throwing out all sorts of shameless jokes. Some even had their mental state completely ruined during the Seven Sacred Abyss trials.
As Lin Yuan thought this out, he felt the hideous head chuckling at him, as if waiting for Lin Yuan to speak first.
A gentle breeze rises again.
Ignoring the Good-Evil Centaur, Lin Yuan continued fishing, letting those who were willing take the bait. The hot wind made the hem of Lin Yuan's clothes flutter slightly.
After about half a minute, the Good-Evil Centaur finally couldn't hold back any longer, and their hideous heads were the first to let out an unpleasant screech.
"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. We are Good-Evil Centaur, so there's no need for you to struggle. Your struggles are meaningless to us."
"What Good-Evil Centaur? I know, you're from Shrek Academy, aren't you?"
Good-Evil Centaur:...
The kind-looking female head nodded and said gently, "You're right, we are from Shrek Academy. Next, we'll ask you some questions, and you'll answer them and bear the consequences."
"You're having a bad time; usually, One Person asks the question, but today it will be the two of us asking questions together."
The benevolent head spoke first, gently. "I'll ask you a question first. Because you caused a volcanic eruption, resulting in the simultaneous annihilation of examinees from all the Federation administrative planets, including Douluo Planet, what is your explanation for this?"
