You Call This Purgatory Difficulty?

"Yes!"

The Examination Center staff immediately began operating the spirit crystals to retrieve the data.

In truth, searching for the relevant information was extremely simple and straightforward.

After all, the number of professionals who had made it into the global dungeon Hall of Fame numbered only in the tens of thousands worldwide. Excluding foreign names, the likelihood of duplicate names within Great Xia was extremely low.

Sure enough, a search for Lin Yi's name.

Soon, a dungeon record appeared before everyone.

Code
[Special Dungeon: City of Fading Light, Feiliekain (Permanently Removed)]
[Dungeon Level: LV.25]
[Dungeon Difficulty: A+]
[Dungeon Class Restrictions: Mage, Priest]
[Dungeon Best Clear Record: 0 hours 2 minutes 42 seconds]
[Record Holder: Lin Yi]

The meeting room erupted in uproar.

"Huh? It's that dungeon!"

"This dungeon was globally announced just over ten days ago—permanently removed!"

"Could he be the one who cleared it last?"

"Tch... look at his clear time!"

"What? Two minutes??"

"Wasn't this dungeon's clear requirement a timed survival? I remember it was survive for three hours!"

"That's right, I recall it too. I personally wrote the Strategy Guide for this dungeon and uploaded it to our province's strategy center."

Qi Guoguang sank into a long contemplation.

He stared fixedly at Lin Yi on the big screen.

But what surfaced in his mind was the figure from over ten days ago—when he held a meeting with his Professional Alliance members—the silhouette from the memory footage uploaded by Tianshui Academy, a body wreathed in blue flames!

The next instant.

Lin Yi's figure abruptly overlapped with the one he had temporarily dubbed the Abyssal Flame Emperor in his mind!

Build, aura...

They were somewhat similar!!

But then, Qi Guoguang shook his head.

Too absurd.

Not to mention that the spell used by the Abyssal Flame Emperor was at least Tier 8.

Just the uniqueness of that spell alone was something no professional on Blue Star could possess.

It was a high-tier spell exclusive to the Abyss World.

A Mutated version of Blue Star's spells!

Plus, that footage was extracted from someone else's memory. Deviations in build and appearance were perfectly normal.

In the end, Qi Guoguang convinced himself.

He reached a conclusion.

"This kid's stroke of luck is something I've never seen in my life."

"About ten days ago, I received a memory recording of this dungeon uploaded by Tianshui Academy's administration."

"In the footage, this kid encountered an extremely low-probability event while clearing the dungeon."

"That is, the hidden boss inside the dungeon was provoked by another powerhouse from the Abyss World."

"That powerhouse was at least at the Demon Emperor Rank. With a wave of his hand, a single Mutated Tier 8 Fire Element Spell instantly killed the dungeon's hidden boss."

"As a result, the entire dungeon was completely erased and removed. This kid muddled his way through the clear and even earned a Hall of Fame title."

After hearing Qi Guoguang's explanation, everyone could barely accept it.

Otherwise, if Lin Yi truly possessed such terrifying strength, why would he still need to take the college entrance exam?

He would have been courted by every top-tier professional university nationwide at the First Moment, while simultaneously being set as the number one assassination target by other countries on Blue Star!

Outside the exam venue.

Sun Liang glanced at his wristwatch and spoke, "There are still 10 minutes until the exam begins. Please enter the exam hall. The exam rules will be announced shortly!"

Lan Ruoyi and the others at the front of the line entered through Entrance No. 1 first.

Lin Yi followed at the very end.

After entering Entrance No. 1, he followed the signs on the wall and passed through several corridors.

A familiar dungeon light screen appeared before him.

It seemed this year's college entrance exam test was held in a special dungeon provided by the organizers.

Seeing Lin Yi approach, all the so-called prodigies from Dongjiang Province fell silent.

Lin Yi could tell that the arrogance and clear-cut foolishness on their faces had vanished.

In their place were awe and fear!

"Attention, all examinees!"

"The 3024 National Unified Admissions Exam for Class Users of Higher Education Institutions will begin in 5 minutes!"

"The exam rules and test details are now being read out!"

"All examinees must strictly comply; violators will be dealt with severely!"

"This exam consists of five rounds. After passing the first four, outstanding performers will qualify for the fifth round."

"All test content will take place in special dungeons, each an independent dungeon. Aside from proctors, examinees cannot communicate with others."

"Examinees are strictly forbidden from bringing any equipment or other crafted devices into the test dungeons; violators will be treated as cheaters!"

"Upon entering the dungeon, all food, alchemical potions, and non-class-inherent buff effects carried by examinees will be dispelled."

"The exam's evaluation system uses a points-based system. In each round, the system will automatically score examinees based on their completion of objectives. The higher the difficulty level chosen, the more points earned for completing corresponding objectives."

"Should any emergencies arise during the test, they will be handled according to the relevant regulations of the Great Xia Class User Higher Education Institution Unified Admissions Exam Management Measures."

The broadcast ended.

The hall fell into silence.

Five minutes passed quickly.

Lin Yi heard a bell ring throughout the exam venue, accompanied by the whistles of countless proctors near the exits and the roar of closing gates.

Once the exam started, any unlucky latecomers would no longer be allowed in.

"All examinees, enter the dungeon!" Sun Liang commanded.

Everyone, including Lin Yi, stepped into the dungeon light screen, their figures vanishing.

After a moment of darkness, Lin Yi opened his eyes again.

He found himself in a pure white, endless space.

This space was utterly silent, with no sound at all.

There were no monsters or terrain either.

It was likely a dungeon modified by some big shots using special means.

But Lin Yi still saw a countdown and a scoreboard floating in the void not far ahead of him.

[Time until the first round of the exam begins: 00:00:59]

[Current points earned: 0]

At the same time, a dungeon announcement echoed in Lin Yi's mind.

[Examinee Lin Yi, in 1 minute, a goblin will spawn before you, set at LV.30, with 1000 armor, 1000 magic resistance, and 10,000 HP.]

[This goblin will not move or attack. Kill it as fast as you can!]

[The shorter the time, the higher the score!]

After hearing the rules, Lin Yi was momentarily stunned.

Then a hint of disappointment welled up inside him.

Bro, you call this Purgatory Difficulty?

That's it?

A monster with only 10,000 HP, and a stationary dummy at that, unable to run.

Who are you looking down on!
