"Come~ hit~ me~ you~ idiot~!"
The Goblin Giant was enormous, standing seven or eight meters tall—far bigger even than Lin Yi's Molten Flame Demon.
The moment it appeared, it opened its huge mouth and began taunting him.
At the same time, it raised its right hand in a friendly gesture universally understood across both Blue Star and Earth.
Paired with that expression, it really looked incredibly punchable!
Lin Yi even wanted to complain about which genius had designed this Dungeon!
But Lin Yi had been mistaken.
All the monsters in this Dungeon had been modeled after monsters from real-life Dungeons.
And the real Goblin Giants were just this punchable.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Wind howled around Lin Yi.
The next moment, a green tornado formed above the Goblin Giant's head.
The raging winds formed needle-sharp spikes that continuously tore into the Goblin Giant's flesh.
Wind Element fourth tier spell: Storm Cyclone!
Lin Yi had chosen this spell because, in a prolonged battle, it had the highest total damage output per cast.
[Storm Cyclone] [Type: Active Skill] [Tier: Fourth tier] [Element: Storm Element] [Cost: 4000 Mana] [Chant time: 3.5 seconds] [Cooldown time: None] [Effect: Guides Wind Element to form a massive tornado cyclone, attacking all targets within its area of effect and dealing 5 instances of wind-element damage to all targets per second.] [After Storm Cyclone hits a target, it will no longer move and will continue spinning, continuously dealing damage. Maximum duration: 30 minutes.] [Note: Raging winds! Heed my command!]
All fourth tier spells specialized in the Elemental Element were area-of-effect spells.
That was the defining feature of the Mage Class User.
Wind Element was no exception.
It was just that this spell's damage inherited the Wind Element's usual tradition.
-
125!
-
136!
-
207 (Critical Hit)!
The damage numbers were only one or two hundred!
They were nowhere near the thousands or tens of thousands dealt by Fire Element spells!
It was like scraping with a knife!
But it scraped very fast!
And it lasted a very long time!
Once a Storm Cyclone was summoned, it would remain for a full thirty minutes before dissipating.
Against a lumbering monster like the Goblin Giant, which could only stand on the spot and spew insults while taunting, it would take the full thirty minutes of damage!
Using this mechanic, Lin Yi continuously summoned Storm Cyclones.
Five, ten, twenty...
The number of Storm Cyclones engulfing the Goblin Giant was rising at an utterly terrifying rate!
Dozens of Storm Cyclones bombarded the Goblin Giant at once.
The frequency of damage dealt every second was terrifyingly high!
Twenty Storm Cyclones could attack one hundred times per second!
Such high-frequency attacks
made the Goblin Giant, which had just been spewing insults like mad, tremble so badly that its throat seemed to be skipping like a broken recording, unable to produce any sound at all!
Its massive body also shook wildly, looking both ridiculous and comical.
This scene left countless people in the Examination Center dumbfounded.
Qi Guoguang even stood up.
Staring at Lin Yi on the screen, his mind raced wildly!
He still could not forget everything he had seen more than ten days ago when he had rushed to support Canglan City.
Was it him?
It was him!
Right, right...?
Something's wrong!
It was right, it was right.
Something's wrong, something's wrong!
Qi Guoguang's mind continuously swung between affirmation and denial.
Both were practitioners of Fire and Wind Dual Cultivation.
Both were young Mages.
But one possessed incredibly terrifying magical control and could cast both Fire Element Tier 7 and Wind Element Tier 7 magic at the same time.
Could this kid before him, who was only level 42 and had just completed his Second Turn,
do that, even with the empowered effect of some mysterious talent?
The odds were far too low!
Yet his instincts as a Mage kept reminding Qi Guoguang
that all of this was connected!
Even what had happened in the City of Fading Light, Feiliekain, might be related to this young man!
But reason rejected every one of his guesses!
"Elder Qi, what's wrong?" Although Li Yuanjing was also astonished that Lin Yi knew Wind Element spells,
he was, after all, an archer-type Class User.
He did not know much about Mage spells.
Li Yuanjing's question interrupted Qi Guoguang's thoughts. In the end, he could only shake his head. "Nothing."
"I just had some... rather unrealistic guesses..."
Li Yuanjing still wanted to ask something.
But after the third round began, the rankings in the upper-right corner of the big screen refreshed again after a brief delay.
[Current Round: Third Round] [Real-Time Rankings:] [NO.1, Candidate Lin Yi, Total Damage: 53696!] [NO.2, Candidate Qi Xiaying, Total Damage: 11833!] [NO.3, Candidate Li Zerui, Total Damage: 10236!] [NO.4, Candidate Ding Chuqing, Total Damage: 9691!] [NO.5, Candidate Fang Ming, Total Damage: 9527!]
Because this round measured damage output, the rankings updated in real time.
What had not changed was that Lin Yi remained far in the lead.
He had opened up a gap nearly five times greater than second place!
And anyone who looked closely would notice that the gap was still gradually widening.
Because as the number of Storm Cyclones increased, Lin Yi's DPS (damage per second) was also constantly rising!
The second they saw the rankings,
countless people cried out again.
"It's him again!!"
"He's still first!!"
"What insane damage! What spell is he using?!"
"This kid is actually a dual-cultivation Mage!"
"That's ridiculous! How did he get so many Skill Points?!"
"But why isn't he using Fire Element spells? Doesn't Fire Element deal more damage?"
"Fire Element consumes more Mana, right? In a test that measures endurance like this, cost-effectiveness definitely comes first."
Inside the examination Dungeon.
More than ten minutes had already passed since the third round began.
Li Zerui felt like coughing up blood.
He had narrowly lost to Qi Xiaying in the second round's group burst-damage test, and he could accept that.
But he was determined to win this round, which tested endurance!
Because the Alloy Super Cyborg, a Legendary-grade Class User, had unlimited ammunition!
It was just that reloading took time.
As long as he controlled his rhythm properly,
he could guarantee that he would be dealing damage anywhere, anytime throughout these thirty minutes.
Without stopping at all!
The other Class Users, however, would definitely become fatigued and suffer interruptions in their damage output during the latter half of this test, unable to keep going.
With this round's score, he was confident he could charge into the top ranks.
And Lin Yi, who had ranked first in the previous two rounds, was clearly capable of strong burst damage.
So at the beginning, when he saw Lin Yi in first place on the rankings,
even though the gap was already fivefold, he was not too anxious.
Because in his view, Lin Yi was only fierce at the start.
He would definitely run out of steam afterward!
Who would have thought—
At this moment, on the rankings,
he was in second place.
He had dealt over a hundred thousand damage.
He was nearly twenty thousand damage ahead of Qi Xiaying in third place!
And what about first place?
The total damage had already surpassed one million!
That was completely absurd!
Even if Lin Yi stopped dealing damage right now,
Li Zerui knew he could never catch up to him.
But just as despair overwhelmed him the next second,
he suddenly saw the total damage number beside Lin Yi, who was ranked first on the floating rankings,
flash once before dropping straight from over a million damage to zero!
Happy May Day holiday!
Wishing all my readers abundant wealth, happiness, and joy!
