He Was Such a Show-Off

"Usually, this student keeps a low profile. But in this trial, he managed to make a thunderous entrance and shock everyone."

"No one had any faith in him. At first, even King Yama Zhou was furious and said he'd give Ling Zhan a severe punishment for showing contempt for the trial."

"But look at King Yama Zhou's expression now. Isn't he smiling? Tell me, when have you ever seen him look like that?"

The female teacher went on enthusiastically.

Her expression was full of emotion.

As for Su Rou...

Well, she had quietly found the best seat in the house and sat down obediently.

She lifted her delicate, porcelain-smooth face and stared unblinkingly at the seemingly ordinary figure on the screen.

At the same time, she thought, Once the exam is over, I'll have to ask the teacher for a recording of Ling Zhan's battle.

Su Rou had seen geniuses before.

But she had never seen a Red Name monster with such terrifying stats in the National Job Transfer Trial's beginner-level exam!

Nor had she ever seen a new job transferee brave enough to fight such a terrifying Red Name monster!

Inside the trial.

Ling Zhan had no idea that people outside were already discussing him so enthusiastically.

He didn't even know that he, an utterly ordinary-looking guy, had already gained countless female and male fans.

Some people had even been recording his entire run, intending to use it as teaching material.

"It's time to leave." Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Zhan crushed the Town Portal Scroll in his hand.

White light spread from the Teleportation Array.

Ling Zhan stepped down from the stone steps, then froze.

"Isn't this the school?"

"Where am I?"

The enormous plaza was completely empty except for him.

But soon—

Less than a minute later—

The Teleportation Array flashed with white light again, and someone stepped out.

It was a girl.

She was tall, a full 1.7 meters, and wore a school uniform.

Her silver hair flowed like a brilliant galaxy. What made her even more unusual was that her eyes were red.

Her brows curved gracefully, and her rosy lips were as lovely as freshly peeled water caltrops. Her delicate, pointed face was strikingly beautiful, yet the cold light in her red eyes gave her an aloof air.

Under her short uniform skirt, she wore black thigh-high socks. Her dainty size-36 feet were clad in little leather boots.

She held a thick book in her left hand.

Well.

To Ling Zhan, she looked like a silver-haired, red-eyed beauty straight out of a world of anime.

Her gaze was just a little cold.

The silver-haired girl stepped out of the Teleportation Array without a word. Of course, she noticed Ling Zhan too.

But when she saw the bulging items on him, she lost interest in looking him over.

From the parts of his gear that were visible, she could tell that everything Ling Zhan carried was low-level job equipment.

Ten minutes passed after the silver-haired girl appeared.

During those ten minutes, Ling Zhan didn't keep staring at the silver-haired beauty. Instead, he looked around.

It was a large plaza, with only a few staff members present.

Everyone else was around his age, arriving one after another through Teleportation Arrays from other directions...

They were probably trial participants too.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Fortunately, five minutes later—

More candidates in the uniforms of various schools began to appear.

At that moment,

Ling Zhan finally understood that the so-called end of the Endless Trial was actually a gathering place for participants from every school who had cleared their trials.

Another half hour passed.

At last, no one else appeared.

A hundred people had gathered in the plaza.

In other words, there were a hundred candidates.

It was worth mentioning that Sun Ze had appeared too. He was the last one to arrive.

When he saw Ling Zhan, he froze for a moment, then furrowed his sword-like brows.

Clearly, he was wondering why a student as utterly ordinary as Ling Zhan had made it here.

Outside the trial.

Everyone in the audience watched the screens, each of them utterly incredulous.

"Isn't that Zhu Yaoguang, the White-Haired Witch from Yunbei City No. 1 High School? Sure enough, she cleared the trial too!"

"And that handsome senior—isn't he Huang Bo from Qingjiang City No. 3 High School?"

"It looks like all the famous prodigies from Nanzhou Province have gathered in the Endless Trial!"

"What's going on?"

The students weren't the only ones staring in shock and confusion.

The principals and directors on the viewing platform were just as stunned.

Since the test sites were different, and the trials were separate, it was normally impossible to pull so many candidates into the same Endless Trial.

So the principals and directors turned to look at King Yama Zhou.

The Endless Trial had been set up by King Yama Zhou.

Naturally, he was the only one who knew what was going on.

King Yama Zhou had already risen to his feet. He took a single step and appeared on the field, where a Teleportation Array materialized.

With both hands in his pockets, he strolled inside as if he had all the time in the world.

He was such a show-off...

Everyone watched King Yama Zhou and couldn't help grumbling to themselves.

Of course, they only dared to complain in their hearts.

But many people were visibly excited.

They hadn't expected King Yama Zhou to pull a stunt like this at the last moment.

The setup of the Endless Trial had taken everyone by surprise.

No wonder he was the top official in charge of Nanzhou Province's education trials. He had a perfect grasp of the mindset of every candidate taking the National Job Transfer Trial.

And at the end, he had gathered the outstanding students from every city in Nanzhou Province in one place.

What was King Yama Zhou planning?

Was he going to spring another test on them at the very end?

This was astonishing!

Would all these prodigies start fighting once they were together?

Probably not...

Still, it had to be said.

Every prodigy who had arrived so far was exceptional, both in appearance and bearing.

Especially Zhu Yaoguang.

Her silvery-white hair fell down her back. Her features were exquisite, and her clear, red eyes shimmered.

She was an absolute beauty!

Many of the boys present stared at her, dazed.

Of course,

Some of the prodigies who arrived were handsome, with tall, slender builds.

They drew the girls' attention too.

At this moment,

Schools across Nanzhou Province were probably watching this scene.

King Yama Zhou was likely planning a province-wide livestream.

Many reporters were thrilled.

They hurried to get all their cameras ready to record what happened next.

In any case, the reporters hoped the prodigies would refuse to back down and throw themselves into a fierce fight!

That would make for the hottest, most explosive coverage!

They loved this kind of action.

The teachers from the various schools also watched with interest.

These were probably the top hundred prodigies on the Provincial Trial Ranking.

Now that they had come face-to-face, would any of them be willing to yield?

As expected of King Yama Zhou.

He was a master planner.

No one could figure out what he was up to.

Amid everyone's anticipation,

King Yama Zhou finally appeared in the plaza inside the trial's secret realm.

He was facing the top hundred prodigies on the Provincial Trial Ranking for Nanzhou Province's 234th cohort.
