"Champion! Our TieTie is the champion of the final exam! Hooray!!"
"Come on everyone, shout with me, 'Thunder Demon is awesome!'"
"Thunder Demon is awesome!!"
"Holy crap, is this Legend by 'silent until the moment of truth'?"
"What does this show? Innovators can be very strong in the early game!"
With the conclusion of the second round of auditions, online discussions surged, and Lancelot, as the champion, received the most mentions of his name and nickname.
Surprisingly, the second most popular character wasn't Edward, but rather Devin.
"From this day forward, I will call you the new lucky star of the Alliance."
"Damn, this makes me want to take the Joint Entrance Examination too. With a mecha in hand, I'd be invincible!"
"You're dreaming, are you some kind of Transcendent?"
"What's a 'King of Survival'? He lies motionless on the seabed for an entire day, and at the last moment, he surges into the top ten. Enough said, Devin is awesome!"
"Haha, the tenth place player must be furious. The prize they were about to win slipped away."
After the re-examination, the communication terminal was able to connect to the Internet. Lancelot looked at the commotion on the Internet with a strange expression.
Compared to the golden airdrop crate he had painstakingly obtained, Devin gained hundreds of thousands of points with almost no effort.
Who can I complain to about this?
All I can say is that luck-based abilities can sometimes be just so frustrating... and enviable!
Shaking his head to clear the clutter from his mind, Lancelot began to consider which reward to choose.
Those who excel in the preliminary examination receive various awards from the province, and the same applies to the re-examination.
As the champion, Lancelot has five options to choose from, which was announced by the Alliance before the competition.
First, a legendary, Transcendent quality piece of equipment Legend Samsung.
Second, Intermediate Gene Stabilizer.
Third, a small Magnetic Resonance Iron vein.
Fourth, one Legendary Bloodline Potion.
Fifth, one Legendary Profession Inheritance Crystal.
If he could, Lancelot would want them all, but unfortunately he could only choose one.
In terms of equipment, with his current strength, the two-star Legendary equipment he received as the preliminary champion is enough for him to use for a while, so he can pass on that.
There's no need for Intermediate Gene Stabilizer. The Basic Gene Stabilizer provided by Mona can be used twice more. For the third and fourth awakenings, Lancelot doesn't plan to use high-end bloodline potions. The Basic Gene Stabilizer is sufficient.
When he reaches his fifth bloodline awakening, his strength will definitely increase dramatically, and he will naturally be able to obtain Intermediate Gene Stabilizer.
Even if all else fails, there's always Angel investor Sister Mona, right?
The third item, the small Magnetic Resonance Iron vein, is the most valuable overall.
The price of this material is calculated in "grams," but the downside is that it requires an investment.
Mining equipment, personnel, etc.
Most importantly, the process is too long and the money comes too slowly, making it more suitable for participants with powerful families behind them, like that guy Dekai.
Lancelot was only concerned with his own survival and had no interest in Magnetic Resonance Iron.
That leaves only the last two items.
Legendary Bloodline Potion and Legendary Class Legacy Crystal.
Is there even a need to think about it?
What good is a crystal for a Ability Energy to inherit?
That leaves only one option – the Legendary Bloodline Potion.
"According to the Innovator School's awakening progress, the Legendary Bloodline Potion is usually used around the 8th or 9th awakening. But my situation is different. As long as the groundwork is laid properly, I can use it on the 6th or even 5th awakening..."
With his future plans in mind, Lancelot boarded the aircraft that had come to greet them, amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the many participants.
When the last contestant left the competition venue, the second round of testing was officially over.
Reactions varied from party to party.
In the southern region, the leadership of the Kahn Province was the most excited.
Because in this year's Joint Entrance Examination retest, two of the top ten students were from the Kahn Province.
Lancelot, in particular, as the champion, made the provincial leaders very proud.
When chatting with colleagues from other provinces, it's usually like this:
The other party. "How did you feel about yesterday's work meeting?"
Leader Kahn: "Oh? You also know that Lancelot from our province won the semi-finals? Oh right, and Devin, who came in ninth, is also from Kahn."
other side. "..."
Buzz!--
The treatment chamber door slowly opened, and Lancelot, wearing only shorts, stepped out.
After replenishing with plenty of nutrients, his condition returned to its peak.
His communicator vibrated; Mona had sent him a message asking him to come over.
After Lancelot finished dressing, he opened the door, where several fully armed soldiers were already waiting.
They are Mona's guards.
Compared to the first time they met, the soldiers' gazes towards him were noticeably different this time.
Curiosity, surprise, and respect.
The prestige of winning the second round of the exam far surpasses that of winning the first round; the two are not on the same level.
If you can win the second round of the exam, your final exam score will generally be good too, and you can usually get into the top ten.
If they could win the final championship, that would be incredible; they would be summoned directly by the Alliance president, and their future would be limitless.
Inside the office, Mona, dressed in a form-fitting purple dress that accentuated her flawless figure, with delicate silver earrings dangling from her rosy, translucent earlobes, tilted her head slightly, the earrings swaying gently as she watched Lancelot enter with a beaming smile.
"What is it?" Lancelot asked, casually brewing a cup of tea. If word of their interaction were to spread, it would surely cause a huge uproar, with countless outrageous speculations emerging.
Mona readily produced a black and gold invitation. "Here, a top-tier invitation personally issued by the academy. I don't need to apply this time; the old folks are all incredibly eager."
After taking a sip of tea, Lancelot accepted the invitation and examined it with great interest.
Normally, the top-tier invitations from the six most prestigious universities are only issued to super geniuses with SS-level potential.
However, Lancelot defeated Fire Melter and the Berserker in the rematch, and won the championship as Innovation School Ability Energy.
Other academies might still be considering and debating, but the Holy Sword, which has always prided itself on being the stronghold of Innovation School, didn't hesitate at all.
Before the end of the re-examination, the special invitation letter was sent to Mona and she was asked to hand it to Lancelot personally. Mona was also given the authority to make decisions on the spot and to make sure that this Innovation School supernova was brought into the Holy Sword Academy.
Mona didn't hide anything from Lancelot; she told him everything.
She even revealed the bottom line that the college's higher-ups had set for her. If those school leaders knew, they would definitely be furious.
"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the top university, they're so generous." Lancelot sighed after hearing Mona's words.
Once upon a time, he was worried about hundreds of thousands of Crimson Notes in debt, but now even a small amount slipping through his fingers would amount to more than that.
"Do you agree now, or wait until after the final exam to join the Holy Sword?" Mona asked. She knew Lancelot's plan; he hadn't even considered the Infinite School.
"If I win first place in the final exam, will I receive the Holy Sword Invitation you mentioned before?" Lancelot suddenly asked.
The invitations from the six top universities were ostensibly at the highest level, but through Mona, Lancelot learned that there was another level above the highest.
College level!
An invitation letter named after the college.
Once acquired, one will be regarded by the academy as a successor, similar to a family heir, receiving the academy's full support and priority access to all resources, with a status second only to the principal.
Mona shook her head. "Don't even think about it. The Holy Sword and the other five academies haven't issued any academy-level invitations for almost thirty years. With the potential you've shown, even if you were twice as strong, you still wouldn't be able to get Holy Sword Invitation."
"I see..." Lancelot said thoughtfully, then asked, "So, in this year's competition, is there any possibility that any participant will receive an invitation from the academy?"
"No!" Mona answered crisply, then she explained, "Generally, once such a talent emerges, the Alliance will not allow them to participate in Joint Entrance Examination and show their faces in public again."
Every recipient of an invitation to the academy is considered a potential Demigod.
You should understand what this kind of genius means for the Alliance that lacks high-level individual combat skills.
"Understood!" Lancelot nodded slightly.
"Prepare well for the final exam. Although the chances of getting the Holy Sword Invitation are slim, if you win the final exam, I'm confident I can persuade the school leaders to increase the resource rewards I promised you by 50%!" Mona stretched out her five jade fingers, shook them gently, and smiled slyly.
"Phew... I understand, I will do my best!" Lancelot downed his tea in one gulp and turned to leave.
Not long after he returned to his temporary lodgings, a young man with blond hair approached him with a broad smile; it was Haerxi.
"Who are you?"
"Let me introduce myself. I am Haerxi, a second-year student at Infinite School. I'm here on behalf of the academy to deliver this invitation to you," Haerxi said with a smile.
"An invitation? What level?"
"Level One!" Haerxi puffed out his chest.
Bang!
The gate is closed.
