"Yes!"
The Examination Center staff immediately began operating the Spirit Crystal and retrieving the data.
In fact, retrieving the relevant data was extremely simple.
After all, there were only tens of thousands of Class Users worldwide who had made it into the Global Dungeon Hall of Fame. Excluding foreign names, the chances of Great Xia citizens sharing the same name were extremely low.
Sure enough, once they searched for Lin Yi's name—
A Dungeon record soon appeared before everyone.
[Special Dungeon: City of Fading Light, Feiliekain (Permanently Removed)] [Dungeon Level: LV.25] [Dungeon Difficulty: A+] [Dungeon Class Restrictions: Mage, Priest] [Best Dungeon Clear Record: 0 hours, 2 minutes, 42 seconds] [Record Holder: Lin Yi]
The entire meeting room erupted.
"Huh? That Dungeon!"
"That Dungeon was globally announced as permanently removed just over ten days ago!"
"Could he have been the last person to clear it?"
"Gasp... Look at his clear record!"
"Huh? More than two minutes??"
"Wasn't the requirement for clearing that Dungeon to survive for a limited time? I remember the requirement was surviving for three hours!"
"That's right, I remember too. I personally wrote the guide for that Dungeon and uploaded it to our province's guide center."
Qi Guoguang fell into a long silence.
He stared fixedly at Lin Yi on the large screen.
Yet what surfaced in his mind was the figure wreathed in blue flames from the footage uploaded by Tianshui Academy more than ten days ago, when he had been holding a meeting with the members of the Professional Alliance!
The next moment—
Lin Yi's figure overlapped perfectly with the figure he had temporarily named the Abyssal Flame Emperor!
His build, his aura...
They were somewhat alike!!
But then, Qi Guoguang shook his head.
It was too absurd.
Setting aside the fact that the spell used by the Abyssal Flame Emperor was at least at the level of Tier 8—
The unique nature of that spell alone meant it was not something a Class User of Blue Star could possess.
That was a high-level spell unique to the Abyss World.
It was a mutated version of a Blue Star spell!
Furthermore, that footage had been extracted from someone else's memories. Some discrepancy in build and appearance was perfectly normal.
In the end, Qi Guoguang convinced himself.
He came to a conclusion.
"This kid's fortunate encounter is something I've never seen in my life."
"More than ten days ago, I received a memory recording uploaded by Tianshui Academy concerning this Dungeon."
"In the recording, this kid encountered an incredibly low-probability event while clearing the Dungeon."
"That was when the hidden BOSS inside the Dungeon was provoked by another powerful being from the Abyss World."
"That powerful being had at least reached the Demon Emperor Rank. With a flick of his hand, he used a mutated Tier 8 Fire Element Spell to instantly kill the Dungeon's hidden BOSS."
"That caused the entire Dungeon to vanish and be permanently removed. This kid somehow cleared it by sheer luck and even obtained a Hall of Fame title."
After hearing Qi Guoguang's explanation, everyone could finally accept it somewhat.
Otherwise, if Lin Yi possessed such terrifying strength, would he still need to take the college entrance examination?
The top Class User universities across the country would probably have extended offers to him immediately, while other countries on Blue Star would have made him their top assassination target at once!
Outside the examination hall.
Sun Liang glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "There are still ten minutes until the exam begins. All candidates, please enter the examination hall. The exam rules will be announced shortly!"
Lan Ruoyi and the others at the front of the line were the first to enter Entrance No. 1.
Lin Yi followed at the very end.
After entering Entrance No. 1, he followed the instructions on the wall and passed through several corridors.
A familiar Dungeon light curtain appeared before him.
It seemed this year's college entrance examination would be conducted in a special Dungeon provided by the organizers.
When they saw Lin Yi approaching—
The so-called geniuses from all across Dongjiang Province who had been talking earlier all fell silent.
Lin Yi could tell that the arrogance and clear stupidity on their faces had disappeared.
In their place were reverence and apprehension!
"Attention, all candidates!"
"The 3024 National Unified Entrance Examination for Higher Class User Institutions will begin in five minutes!"
"The examination rules and assessment details will now be announced!"
"All candidates must comply strictly. Violators will be dealt with severely!"
"This examination consists of five rounds. Only candidates who pass the first four rounds and perform outstandingly will be eligible to enter the fifth round."
"All assessments in this examination will take place in special Dungeons. Each Dungeon is independent, and candidates will be unable to communicate with anyone else apart from proctors."
"All candidates are strictly forbidden from bringing any equipment or other crafted devices into the assessment Dungeons. Violators will be treated as cheaters!"
"After entering the Dungeon, all food, Alchemical Potions, and Buff Effects not inherent to a candidate's Class will be dispelled."
"This examination uses a point-based evaluation system. During each round, the system will automatically score candidates based on their completion of objectives. The higher the difficulty selected, the more points obtained upon completing the corresponding objective."
"If any unexpected circumstances arise during the assessment, they will be handled in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Great Xia Higher Class User Institution Unified Entrance Examination Management Regulations."
The broadcast ended.
The hall fell silent.
Five minutes passed quickly.
Lin Yi heard ringing bells echoing throughout the examination hall. At the same time, countless proctors near the exits blew their whistles, accompanied by the rumble of closing gates.
Once the examination began, any unlucky latecomers would no longer be allowed inside.
"All candidates, enter the Dungeon!" Sun Liang gave the order.
Everyone, including Lin Yi, stepped into the Dungeon light curtain, and their figures vanished.
After a stretch of darkness, Lin Yi opened his eyes again.
He found himself in an endless expanse of pure white space.
The space was extraordinarily quiet, without the slightest sound.
There were no monsters or terrain either.
This should have been a Dungeon modified through special means by some major figures.
However, Lin Yi still saw a countdown timer and scoreboard floating in the void not far in front of him.
[Time Until the First Round Begins: 00:00:59] [Current Points Earned: 0]
At the same time, a Dungeon Announcement sounded in Lin Yi's mind.
[Candidate Lin Yi, in one minute, a Goblin will spawn before you with its level set to 30, armor set to 1000, Magic Resistance set to 1000, and health set to 10000.] [This Goblin will neither move nor attack. Please kill it as quickly as possible!] [The shorter the time taken, the higher your score!]
After hearing the rules, Lin Yi was momentarily stunned.
Then a trace of disappointment welled up inside him.
Seriously, you call this Purgatory Difficulty?
That's it?
A monster with only ten thousand health, and it was just a stationary dummy that would not even run.
Who are you looking down on?!
