Fire and Wind Dual Cultivation! Third Round Endurance Test!

"What do you think of his unprecedented 0.1-second score—how did he pull that off?"

"The spell he just used was a fourth-tier fire spell, Blazing Storm!"

"Normal Chant Time is five seconds!"

"And he cast it instantly again."

Qi Guoguang's words.

Instantly stirred up an uproar in the hall!

A single sentence woke everyone from their daze!!

Right!

How could they have forgotten this crucial point!

That spell just now had even turned the entire big screen red!

Clearly, it was no small feat.

And he was a level 42 mage who had just undergone his Second Turn.

Casting a fourth-tier spell instantly???

At that moment, everyone realized just how absurd Lin Yi was!

"The talent he awakened must be incredibly strong, allowing him to use a fourth-tier spell at this level and class advancement stage."

Li Yuanjing made the judgment.

For a time, countless big shots in the Examination Center all looked at Lin Yi with newfound respect!

That's right, this kid might only be the most ordinary mage!

But a Class User's overall strength couldn't be judged solely by class strength.

You also had to consider talent, skills, and even equipment synergy.

However, the next moment, when they looked back at Lin Yi's performance on the big screen, their mouths twitched.

There was Lin Yi, sitting on the ground. Somehow, a big chicken leg had appeared in his left hand, and in his right hand, he held a bottle of iced happy water.

He was eating with great enjoyment.

Lin Yi's actions directly silenced the entire meeting room.

I mean, sure, your performance was flawless.

But aren't you taking us a little too lightly?

The examiner in charge of monitoring Lin Yi's instance opened his mouth, wanting to turn on the speaker and warn Lin Yi.

Please don't be too reckless and casual during the test!

But then he thought again—he probably wasn't qualified...

This guy was the ultimate hardcore player who had scored full marks in the first two rounds.

Maybe after today's exam, he'd shoot straight to the top.

Besides, the exam regulations didn't say anything about not being allowed to eat during the test.

Of course, that was on the condition that the food didn't provide any Buff Effect.

After finishing the big chicken leg, Lin Yi picked up the cola and chugged several big gulps.

Refreshing!

He wiped his mouth.

Then, a few more bags of chips and spicy strips—konjac snacks—appeared beside him!

Even though the system in the instance had already announced that the second round was over and the third round would start in one minute, Lin Yi showed no sign of nervousness.

"This kid...!"

"He's going a bit too far!"

The big shots from Dongjiang in the Examination Center.

All had twitching faces.

They had truly never seen a candidate like this, someone who showed absolutely no regard for the National College Entrance Examination!

But the thing was, his strength was terrifyingly formidable.

Li Yuanjing suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "He's got character. I like it!"

"And although he looks lazy, in reality, he still takes the exam very seriously."

"Last round, the moment those 20 Goblins appeared, he reacted instantly and wiped them out with a fourth-tier spell."

"If he hadn't prepared in advance and stayed focused the whole time, he couldn't have done that."

As a leader, he saw things more keenly than the average person.

Only after Li Yuanjing pointed it out did everyone realize.

Lin Yi only appeared relaxed on the surface; in truth, he was still taking the exam seriously. This immediately raised the evaluation of Lin Yi in their minds even higher.

It could only mean that this youth's mental fortitude was far more mature than his peers.

As the second round concluded.

The leaderboard also shifted.

Adding the points from both rounds produced the current ranking.

The entire top hundred of the leaderboard underwent earth-shattering changes.

A massive reshuffling of positions.

Plenty of new names appeared on the list.

Yet Lin Yi, perched at the very top, stood as steady as a mountain.

Outside the exam grounds.

With the second round over, the rankings were posted again.

Everyone was stunned once more.

Code
[Cumulative Points Leaderboard]

[Current Round: Round 2 (Concluded)]

[First Place, Lin Yi, Class: Mage, Exam Location: Jiangcheng, Points: 2000!]

"Him again!!"

"This Lin Yi is insane—two rounds in, and still a perfect score?!"

"I'm from Jiangcheng myself. Our place is too poor and remote. Never thought it'd produce such a dark horse!"

"6666! I love watching a dark horse trample all those so-called famous geniuses!"

"Honestly, I bet those so-called Dongjiang prodigies are sweating bullets right now!"

"LOL, love to see it, keep it coming!"

"I'm from Jiangcheng too—wife and kids are back in my hometown, I'm working in Tianhai. Go, fellow townsman!!"

"Lin Yi, give it your all!!"

"Go for it!!"

"Hope you take first again next round and capture the province's top spot!!"

The onlookers were never ones to shy away from excitement.

Especially since, to most people, Lin Yi was like an alternate version of themselves.

Humble origins.

Ordinary class.

Yet, through sheer strength, he was trampling all the dazzling new stars of Dongjiang underfoot!

So satisfying!

And so, Lin Yi—a candidate with no backing from any family or faction—

In that moment, won the overwhelming support of the watching crowd!

Back inside the dungeon.

One minute passed quickly.

Soon, the countdown for the third round began.

The rules for the third round were also announced to all candidates in due time.

Code
[Attention, all candidates!]

[The third round of testing is about to begin!]

[This round will test your sustained long-range output endurance!]

[In 10 seconds, 1 Goblin Giant will spawn before you. Its stats are set as follows: infinite HP, armor and Magic Resistance both 0.]

[This round is limited to 30 minutes. Within the time limit, deal as much damage as possible to this monster.]

[Points for this round will be Issued based on the total damage dealt to the target after the time ends!]

[Please note: during the 30-minute test, every 30 seconds, 5 Agile Goblin monsters will spawn around the Goblin Giant.]

[These monsters also have 0 in both defenses, with HP set at 3000. After spawning, the Agile Goblins will flee at high speed. If they are not killed before successfully escaping, 10,000 points will be deducted from your current total output!]

Lin Yi listened quietly to the rules of the third round.

He had to admit, the third round finally seemed a bit interesting.

"First two rounds test burst damage against single and multiple targets. This round tests sustained output endurance?" Lin Yi analyzed in his mind.

Since the Goblin Giant's HP was infinite.

So within the time limit, if you want to deal higher damage, you have to think about sustainability.

Take a Fire Mage, for example.

That's a typical burst specialization.

They're incredibly strong in the early phase of a fight.

Their damage might instantly pull far ahead of other specs.

But Fire Element Spells consume more mana than other schools.

After one burst rotation, their mana drains too fast, and they quickly fizzle out.

So over these thirty minutes, how to pace your output rhythm is the ultimate test every examinee faces!

For Lin Yi, though...

This problem already has a solution.

The ten-second countdown ended.

The Goblin Giant spawned.

And inside the instance where Lin Yi stood, a fierce gale suddenly kicked up!

Qi Guoguang, who had been watching intently, shot to his feet.

He stared at Lin Yi in disbelief.

He... could sense an overwhelmingly dense wind element converging toward Lin Yi!
