This was a deliberate decision made by Rowan to ensure that every candidate had enough time and space to ready themselves before they started the trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The island was at least sixteen square miles. The thousand trial takers were spread out across the entire island, and they had all been teleported a distance away from each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alex knew that thirty minutes from now, the giant island would gradually shrink, forcing those on the edges to move closer to the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being sent to the outer edges might seem advantageous to him, but in truth, it was not the case at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most fortunate in this trial were those who had been sent closer to the center, for they could get to searching for a hiding spot early on and buy themselves a day or two of peace where they wouldn’t need to find anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Alex would have to constantly move closer to the center, which meant that he was more likely to encounter potential enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this wasn’t that much of a problem. After all, Alex had a cheat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man immediately opened his status page and checked his map for his current location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four dots the size of a quail egg blinked at the north, south, east, and west of the island, as if signifying the four cardinal directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dots were red, orange, yellow, and blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex immediately recognized these threats as the Boss Monsters, which the Headmaster had mentioned earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from that, he also saw two green blinking dots on the map, which represented his allies, Lavinia and Charles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young lady was located near the center of the map, while Charles was sent to the northern edge of the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex was in the south, so if he wished to reunite with his friends, he would need to head to the center and regroup with Lavinia first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I knew this would not be easy,’ Alex thought as he stared at the map. Most of it was still shrouded in black fog, signifying unexplored territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only access the paths and other information after he passed through them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Let’s see if this works,’ Alex mused as he activated the Map of Forgotten Paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, several yellow blinking dots appeared on the map. At the sight of that, the young man did a fist bump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The yellow blinking dots were labeled as \"treasures,\" which confirmed his assumption that there were treasures scattered around the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dim Dim, let’s do a bit of treasure hunting first,\" Alex said. \"Let’s avoid any confrontation for now. So, if you sense anyone around, warn me right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dim Dim nodded in understanding. \"Dim!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he only had three hours to collect treasures, Alex no longer hesitated and ran toward the nearest yellow dot. Despite his excitement, he reminded himself to remain alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>North of the Island...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles slowly explored his surroundings, making sure to be as careful as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After unlocking his ability, Void-Touched, he had become more sensitive to signs of life around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to fight anyone if possible. But that didn’t mean he would not retaliate if he was targeted by the other trial takers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His priority was to regroup with Alex and Lavinia since they were the only people he could trust on the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I better play it safe,’ Charles thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teenage boy then pressed both of his hands on the ground. After a few seconds, a magic circle formed around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, eight black ants, each roughly the length of a forearm, appeared around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scout the area and report to me immediately if you encounter monsters and humans,’ Charles commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ants heeded their master’s command and spread out. Although Charles was still in the process of learning his new powers, he could already do this much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of the Island...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trial taker turned into particles of light as Lavinia’s sword whip pierced through their body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After going through a dungeon outbreak, the young lady had not only grown stronger but also more proficient in using her skills and abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she didn’t know where she currently was, she believed that Alex and Dim Dim would come to find her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she needed to do was survive until then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Charles, Lavinia didn’t trust anyone aside from her friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man she killed earlier had tried to ambush her. Unfortunately for him, Lavinia had already detected his presence and deliberately feigned weakness to bait him out of hiding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You chose the wrong target,\" Lavinia muttered before walking away. \"One down, 998 to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike others who planned to hide, the young lady wished to challenge herself and seek other candidates to fight against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to push herself to the limit and see just how far she could go in the second trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her, this trial was only meant to hone her skills further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Alex and Charles, who had no backing, Lavinia was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grandfather was friends with the Headmaster of the Academy, and her tuition fee had already been paid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had decided to join the trial to accompany Alex simply out of worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from seeking strong opponents, her goal was to help the young man pass the trial so both of them could study together in the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Now, where should I go?’ Lavinia wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Alex, who had a map, the other trial takers had no idea where they currently were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, they simply followed their gut instincts and hoped that they could avoid any confrontations until the last day of the battle royale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside of the domain...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff of the academy were looking over hundreds of projections that appeared in the plaza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each projection represented a candidate, allowing the Professors to see if there were any outstanding teenagers among the applicants for this year’s scholarship test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another one disappeared,\" a Professor commented. \"It seems some of our aspiring students are very eager to eliminate their competitors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope we can get some talented students this year,\" a Professor commented. \"The scholarship students last year weren’t bad, but they’re average at best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t that why we have decided to limit the number of scholarship students to twenty and switched the trial format to a battle royale?\" another teacher replied. \"I’m sure we can find some swans among the chickens.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rowan listened to the discussion of his staff before shifting his gaze to a projection showing Alex and Dim Dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been paying close attention to Alex, Charles, and Lavinia, the trio who experienced the Dungeon Outbreak together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the investigation, the Professors had been left baffled because the magical energy reading of the Dungeon of Beginnings had turned out to be normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did this mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that a dungeon outbreak couldn’t possibly have happened because there was no reason for it to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a dungeon outbreak \"did\" happen, which made the Headmaster very suspicious of the three trial takers, the survivors of a calamity no one had seen coming.\u003C\u002Fp>",1206,"2026-06-09T06:11:16.319Z",1,"novelbin.me","e170e8c5de8134b012705fc88c5078af763a71d3efcd2d8ef20de6ac0c520e13","endless-leveling-done-right-chapter-118","endless-leveling-done-right-chapter-116",682,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fendless-leveling-done-right-cover.jpg"]
