Wu Jun swept his gaze over the group sprawled all over the ground, utterly disgracing Tianshui Academy.
His anger only deepened.
Tianshui Academy was one of Great Xia's top fifty renowned higher Professional Academies.
How had it produced such a pack of useless trash?!
If that humanoid creature wrapped in scorching Blue Flame truly was some overwhelmingly powerful native existence from the Abyss...
They had all looked directly at such a being.
So why had the Second Turn students and Third Turn and Fourth Turn teachers under his command all been scared unconscious?
Yet the boy before him had endured it!
That was enough to show that this boy's temperament far surpassed what someone his age should possess.
He was exceptionally steadfast and unyielding!
Looking at it that way, he was a rare and promising talent.
"Come to Tianshui Academy."
"We can offer you a Special Admission Quota."
Wu Jun stepped forward a few paces and stopped in front of Lin Yi.
He extended the invitation in a tone that brooked no refusal.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
That included the teachers who had been following Wu Jun and had not entered the Dungeon, leaving them relatively clear-headed.
"Holy shit..."
"Special admission!"
"No, does Professor Wu even have the authority for that?"
"He does. He's the chief instructor of a branch department, so he gets two or three Special Admission Quotas every year..."
"Damn it, I ranked seventy-sixth in the entire province before I got into Tianshui!"
For a time, all the Tianshui Academy teachers and students who had yet to enter the Dungeon were filled with envy.
None of them had expected it.
Professor Wu, who was usually so strict, had actually taken an interest in a rookie Class User from a Level 5 Base City.
Well, perhaps it was because this kid had entered the Dungeon Record Hall of Fame at such a young age?
Damn, what kind of bullshit luck was that?!
If I had entered the Dungeon just now, maybe the final clear record would have been credited to me!
Their guesses were not far from the truth.
On one hand, Wu Jun had indeed taken notice of the glory surrounding Lin Yi, who had entered the Dungeon Hall of Fame at only eighteen.
On the other hand, he valued Lin Yi's temperament.
Zuo Qian's eyes lit up. He quietly moved closer to Lin Yi and said in a low voice, "Accept it!"
"Tianshui Academy is ranked second in our province and among the top hundred in the country. It's a prestigious school."
Jiang Xian also nodded. "Special Admission Quotas like this are extremely rare. Only a small number of the 281 Institutions are qualified to offer them. Tianshui Academy is indeed not bad. You can consider accepting."
The so-called 281 Institutions...
Were somewhat similar to the 985 and 211 universities from Lin Yi's previous life...
Only the setting had changed.
Just when everyone thought Lin Yi would immediately agree.
Lin Yi frowned. "No need. I'm not interested."
This time, even Wu Jun was somewhat surprised.
In his view, this was an unprecedented act of generosity.
How could this brat before him be so ungrateful?
He narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "You should think this through."
"This may be the only opportunity you get in your life."
Lin Yi smiled.
He genuinely felt that this group from Tianshui Academy was absurdly confident.
"You could have left me with a better impression. Maybe then I would have considered joining Tianshui Academy."
"This is also the only opportunity you'll get in your lives."
Zuo Qian and Jiang Xian were both deeply shocked.
Damn, those words were way too arrogant!
Yet for some reason, they found them incredibly satisfying!
Wu Jun said, "Still hopelessly foolish..."
"Let's go."
Wu Jun gave Lin Yi a long look.
Then he led his group away.
In the end, this special Mage Class Trial came to a close.
Time passed swiftly.
Ten days went by in the blink of an eye.
Something Lin Yi had never expected shocked the entire High Tier Professional circle of Dongjiang Province.
Tianhai City, the provincial capital of Dongjiang Province.
Qi Guoguang sat at the head of the table in the Professional Alliance conference room.
Although he was only the Vice President, the president was usually occupied with work and frequently traveled, so meetings large and small were still handled by him.
At that moment, the conference room was deathly silent.
Everyone was watching the large screen.
The footage playing on it.
Was clearly a record of everything that had happened in the special Dungeon, City of Fading Light, Feiliekain, captured from the perspective of an ordinary Class User.
The Shadow Demon Spider, a hidden BOSS from a high level, emerged.
Then.
The Blue Fire Sun appeared.
The humanoid creature engulfed in flames clenched its hand in empty space.
The terrifying nuclear explosion and flames instantly killed the spider, while also annihilating all of Feiliekain and causing that Dungeon to completely vanish from Blue Star.
The video ended.
Qi Guoguang's expression was grave as he said, "This recording was uploaded by Tianshui Academy in TS City."
"It should have been created using some kind of memory extraction method, followed by image processing."
"Tell me your thoughts."
Someone spoke up. "Vice President Qi, I believe the unknown flame creature's method of annihilating an entire city was at least Tier 8..."
Qi Guoguang nodded. "It was definitely above Tier 8. Although it may not have reached the level of a Tier 9 Forbidden Spell, it was already very close."
"Vice President Qi, do you think this flame creature could be some Class User from Blue Star? Could that skill also be some High-Tier Skill?"
Qi Guoguang shook his head. "This was a very typical fire spell, but it was vastly different from the Tier 8 spells used by Mage Class Users."
"The Tier 8 fire spell is called the Unquenchable Flame Curse. Though it is extremely powerful."
"It was still more than one-third weaker than the spell used by that mysterious being in the video!"
"And it absolutely could not have instantly killed that level 220 Abyss Spider Demon at such speed."
"This is a power we know nothing about. It is also the true form of Fire Element magic when wielded by genuine powerhouses of the Abyss World!"
A trace of reverence entered Qi Guoguang's voice.
Although he had already reached the Seventh Turn.
The deeper he delved into magic, the more he felt how little he truly knew about it.
Even at the same Tier 8 level.
The gap between the Unquenchable Flame Curse and the spell used by that mysterious being was simply too vast!
After Qi Guoguang reached his conclusion.
Everyone else immediately fell silent.
They were all thinking about how terrifying the destruction would be.
If such an existence descended upon Blue Star from the Abyss.
It would not even need to chant.
With a casual gesture, it could annihilate a massive city!
"Since none of you have any other opinions or insights, I'll state mine."
"First, we can confirm that this creature engulfed in Blue Flame."
"Came from the Abyss."
"And its strength was extraordinarily terrifying."
"Another powerful enemy that our human race must confront has appeared in the Abyss!"
"What we need to do now is continue reporting all information related to it."
"Its rank is at least Royal Tier, so for now, I have assigned it a codename."
"Codename: Abyssal Flame Emperor!"
"As for its threat level, I have provisionally classified it as SS-Rank. If we obtain more sightings and information about it later, this threat rating may need to be raised even further!"
