Still an Instant Kill! Shocking the Examiner for a Whole Year!

The two of them thought as much.

On the big screen, the countdown to the second round had less than ten seconds remaining.

Most examinees were already preparing in advance for the second round.

On the screen, Li Zerui stood in place, his eyes sharp and intensely focused, with all his weapon systems fully charged.

He was just waiting for the monsters to spawn, and then he would unleash his firepower in an instant!

On the other side, Qi Xiaying was not to be outdone.

She had already activated a Domain Skill ahead of time.

Within a four-meter radius around her, everything was blazing red.

As soon as the monsters appeared, they would be instantly afflicted with a burn effect from this domain, making kills much faster.

"That Lan family girl might have a shot at topping this round too!"

Suddenly, someone noticed a corner of the big screen.

It was Lan Ruoyi's live feed.

In the image, the cold and elegant Lan Ruoyi was chanting magic spells under her breath.

Then, in the sky, rock balls shimmering with purple light gradually took shape and floated up!

"Why are so many rock balls floating in the air?"

"She's a rare class change in the Mage System—a Gravity Mage!"

"This is a Tier 2 Skill of the Gravity System, right?"

"She hasn't even done her Second Turn, and she already knows a spell like this?"

"This skill gives her such an advantage—when the monsters spawn, she'll just control those seven or eight rock balls to smash down, and the instant AOE damage will be terrifying!"

Li Yuanjing and Qi Guoguang also noticed this.

Their hearts both skipped a beat.

You had to admit, with that many rock balls crashing down, they wouldn't believe it wasn't area damage.

Who would take first place this round suddenly became a total mystery.

Just as all the Dongjiang prodigies were showing off their unique skills like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.

Lin Yi, on the main screen, was taking a completely unconventional path!

In the feed, Lin Yi was already sitting on the clean ground, idly drawing circles with his finger out of sheer boredom.

Lin Yi genuinely found it boring.

He had thought that the National College Entrance Examination, especially on Purgatory Difficulty, would make him take things seriously.

But it turned out to be like playing house.

Twenty goblins with 1000 HP each?

Are you kidding me?

Wouldn't a single Blazing Storm wipe them all out?

Where's the challenge?

So, he couldn't be bothered to stand anymore.

He just sat down on the ground.

Inside the Examination Center.

Countless big shots saw Lin Yi like this and were instantly torn between laughter and tears.

"This kid... I get the feeling he doesn't really care about this National College Entrance Examination..." Li Yuanjing looked at Lin Yi in the center of the big screen and couldn't help but complain.

Qi Guoguang nodded too: "Could it be that he doesn't have any AOE means, knows he'll perform poorly in this round, and is just giving up?"

As soon as Qi Guoguang put forward this hypothesis.

Many people immediately agreed.

Sure, Lin Yi had a high level.

Sure, Lin Yi could cast Flame Burst instantly.

But in a situation requiring fast kills on multiple targets over a Large Area, he would still be stretched thin.

Flame Burst required aiming!

Even though the spawned goblins wouldn't move.

Their positions were random.

If he spammed Flame Burst wildly, at the start, he might not need to aim much and could still hit.

But later on, to land hits, he would definitely have to aim.

And killing so many goblins in two or three seconds was already impossible.

In the end, this kid was just a Common Profession.

He couldn't even compare to a Rare Profession.

There was no way he could surpass a Legendary Class.

On the big screen.

The countdown hit zero.

The next moment.

In all the dungeons, in the blink of an eye, a full twenty Goblins spawned.

Li Zerui, already on high alert, went all out immediately.

The roar of explosions rang out endlessly.

Smoke filled the air, making the dungeon look like the Molia Battlefield.

On the other side, Qi Xiaying's domain completely enveloped all the Goblin monsters, and the Passive Skill of the Battle Spirit Master profession kicked in wildly at that moment.

As long as a certain number of hits were dealt to a monster, a Glimmer Pattern would be generated.

The burning of the domain, combined with her own small-scale AOE sweeping attacks.

The output of Glimmer Patterns was nearly a dozen times greater than before.

With countless Glimmer Patterns firing and exploding, along with the domain's scorching effect, her monster-clearing efficiency was in no way inferior to Li Zerui's.

On the other side, Lan Ruoyi was even more direct.

A full ten Rock Balls came crashing down.

She could already imagine the moment her name appeared on the leaderboard.

However, just then.

On the big screen at the Examination Center.

A blazing, intense orange-red light suddenly appeared.

The light came from the screen in the center.

Countless burning waves of air, carrying bright embers, descended from the sky.

They slammed heavily onto the twenty Goblin monsters!

The next moment.

The ground was scorched to a dark red.

And those twenty Goblins, as if melted away, vanished completely!

This time, Qi Guoguang couldn't stay seated.

His eyes shot wide open.

The leaderboard jumped again.

Code
[Current Test Round: Round 2]
[Rank: NO.1, Examinee Lin Yi, Time to Clear Round 2: 0.1 seconds, Points Earned: 1000!]

All the Dongjiang High-Ranking Officials stared in disbelief.

"???"

"Holy shit!"

"Damn!"

Some even cursed right in front of their superiors.

Their usual polite and civilized image crumbled in an instant.

Cleared!

Another instant clear!

And this time, because Lin Yi happened to be in the center position.

They saw it more clearly than anyone.

Almost the moment those twenty Goblins spawned.

A storm of countless flames and scorching air currents slammed down instantly.

Lin Yi was still sitting on the ground.

He didn't even spare a second glance at those twenty Goblins.

Everything seemed as it should be.

With a flip of his hand, destruction descended!

In the examination hall, countless examinees were also momentarily dazzled.

They saw the blank leaderboard suddenly jump with another name.

Still those two familiar characters—

Lin Yi!

Followed by a less familiar, even more outrageous result—

0.1 seconds!!

Damn! Him again!!

The battle for first place in the second round had already lost all suspense the moment the assessment began.

"How the hell does he even do this?!"

"Did some big shot reincarnate successfully? Damn, 0.1 seconds!"

"This god Lin, please rein in your divine powers. You keep pulling out results that look like cheating, and it's too much for my heart to handle!"

Countless examinees felt their spirits shatter.

Some were even considering filing a protest with the proctors.

Just stop showing this leaderboard in the instance for small fries like us, okay?

It's a mental breakdown waiting to happen!

Inside the Examination Center, Li Yuanjing stared at the upper right corner of the big screen, at Lin Yi's rank and the result beside it.

His heart was pounding.

A thought suddenly struck him.

Since the Great Xia established the National College Entrance Examination, over six hundred years had passed.

In those six hundred years, had any examinee ever achieved such a result in the second round of Purgatory Difficulty?

If not...

Was he witnessing history in his own lifetime?!
