Chapter 54: Full Marks, Full Marks, and Still Full Marks

All the examinees entered the stone pillars one by one.

Ye Lin, as the chief examiner for this year's college entrance exam, stood quietly on the bluestone plaza, gazing at those ten stone pillars.

Behind him appeared several middle-aged people with powerful auras; they were all the deputy examiners for this year's exam.

Among them was a woman wearing a cyan long dress; her appearance was like a spring breeze brushing over a lake, bringing a trace of fresh air.

Although she was no longer young, this woman was extremely well-preserved, with a delicate and refined face and long hair draped over her shoulders like a waterfall, fluttering gently in the wind. Her figure was slender, as if a dignified fairy had descended to the mortal world.

She walked to Ye Lin's side, bowed slightly, and said softly, "Chief Examiner Ye, I am late."

Ye Lin smiled slightly, his eyes filled with respect as he looked at the woman, and said, "Teacher Su, you are too polite. You have arrived just in time."

The other deputy examiners could not help but show looks of reverence when they looked at this woman.

Because this woman, named Su Chengxin, was the person in charge of the Supreme Academy!

Ordinary examinees might have never heard the name of the Supreme Academy, but these examiners knew it very well; this was the strongest academy within the Great Xia territory, and every student who walked out of the Supreme Academy was a monster capable of suppressing a region.

Just as the few were preparing to exchange a few more pleasantries, one of the stone pillars suddenly lit up, and the sculptures on it seemed to come to life at this very moment.

"Hm? Level 18?" Ye Lin's gaze narrowed slightly.

Reaching Level 10 could guarantee entry into a first-class university, reaching Level 12 could allow one to compete for top-tier universities, and Level 18... there was only one word to describe it: monster!

Even Su Chengxin became interested, her eyes burning as she looked in the direction where Ye Lin was.

Level 18 was already qualified to be admitted to the Supreme Academy.

But when she saw Ye Lin's profession clearly, she could not help but frown.

"Why is it a Forbidden Spellcaster?"

At Level 18, if he had changed to any other profession, even if the profession rank was only A-grade, she could have relaxed the requirements and let the other party enter the Supreme Academy.

But, a Forbidden Spellcaster was the only exception!

Although a Forbidden Spellcaster was an SSS-grade profession, everyone knew that a Forbidden Spellcaster simply could not live past the age of 25.

The several examiners were also sighing endlessly at this moment.

"Sigh, what a pity. If he weren't a Forbidden Spellcaster, Qingcheng would have truly produced a real dragon."

"It seems the profession of Forbidden Spellcaster hasn't appeared for quite a while. The last time it appeared was ten years ago, right?"

"Yes, that Forbidden Spellcaster from ten years ago only lived to 23 before dying of natural causes."

"He must have been casting forbidden spells to grind monsters without regard for the consequences to reach such a high level. This is overdrawing his future; it is truly unwise. He might not even live to 23."

"Then how should we grade the first round of level assessment?"

"Just grade it normally. He is already Level 18; it would be unreasonable not to give him full marks."

"Agreed."

Just as the examiners finished their discussion, the mechanical female voice rang out again in the ears of Ye Lin inside the metal room.

"Examinee Ye Lin, first round of comprehensive ability assessment, level assessment, full marks, 10 points."

As soon as the voice fell, the metal wall directly in front of Ye Lin slowly opened, revealing a crystalline orb.

"Second round of comprehensive ability assessment, three-dimensional attribute assessment. Examinee Ye Lin, please place your hand on the testing orb."

Ye Lin walked forward and pondered whether to use Burning Reincarnation, but after thinking about it, he decided against it and placed his hand on it directly.

"Strength 480 points, Agility 270 points, Spirit 1199 points."

"Examinee Ye Lin, second round of comprehensive ability assessment, three-dimensional attribute assessment, full marks, 10 points."

On the bluestone plaza, an examiner could not help but complain.

"I understand the rest, but why does he have 480 points of Strength? Did this guy get a piece of equipment that adds attack power? Why does a Forbidden Spellcaster need Strength? Casting forbidden spells is already harmful to the body, and he still wants to engage in hand-to-hand combat?"

Ye Lin was already Level 18, so full marks in the second round of three-dimensional attribute assessment was normal, but Ye Lin's 480 points of Strength still made the corners of the examiners' mouths twitch.

In their eyes, Ye Lin was simply unreasonable in every way.

"You'll know if you keep watching. The third round is where he needs to start taking action."

Ye Lin spoke calmly. In the metal room where Ye Lin was, a dummy had already appeared.

This dummy looked similar to the ones in the practice rooms of the Class-Transfer Guild, only it was a bit more refined.

"Third round of comprehensive ability assessment, attack ability assessment. Examinee Ye Lin, please use your most powerful skill to attack the dummy in front of you. The dummy will display your score based on the intensity of your attack." The emotionless mechanical female voice rang out again.

"Most powerful skill?"

Ye Lin's first reaction was the Chaos Divine Thunder, which required sacrificing all his organs to summon, but he felt that using that would be too shocking.

It was just a high school entrance exam; it shouldn't require anything that exaggerated. However, the power definitely couldn't be too small either, because he was going to enter the Supreme Academy, and he had to get full marks in every round!

After some thought, Ye Lin made a decision and raised his hand directly.

"Forbidden Spell—World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder!"

He sacrificed his tonsils and summoned the most ordinary thunder.

Boom!

A bolt of thunder struck down, and the dummy was blown directly into dust filling the sky.

"Ah?"

Ye Lin was stunned. This was already his weakest forbidden spell; was this dummy really that fragile?

Moreover, the assessment instructions said the dummy would display his score. Now that he had shattered the dummy, how would his score be calculated?

At this time, the examiners on the bluestone plaza were also stunned.

"This dummy can withstand the attacks of class-transferred individuals under Level 25. This kid is only Level 18, and with one strike, the dummy actually exploded?"

"He used a forbidden spell. Isn't it common knowledge that forbidden spells have great power?"

"Then what do we do now? The dummy is gone. How do we calculate the score? Should we replace it with another dummy for him?"

"Forget it, don't waste teaching equipment. Just give him full marks." Ye Lin could not help but shake his head. "This kid is really desperate; he's actually casting a forbidden spell for a college entrance exam!"

Ye Lin could not help but curse, and the other examiners nodded in deep agreement.

Casting a forbidden spell definitely required paying a price. Casting a forbidden spell for a college entrance exam was like using one's own lifespan to draw game items.

"Examinee Ye Lin, third round of comprehensive ability assessment, attack ability assessment, full marks, 10 points."

Hearing this voice, Ye Lin, who had been on pins and needles, finally let out a long sigh of relief. He was afraid that his score would be canceled because he had broken the dummy.

At this moment, he also clearly realized the drawback of the Forbidden Spellcaster profession: there was simply no way to hold back. Once he made a move, it was a forbidden spell; no matter how much he tried to hold back, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

After he passed the third round, the next three rounds were casting speed assessment, instant burst ability assessment, and sustained output ability assessment. These could not stop Ye Lin at all. Under the horrified gazes of the examiners, Ye Lin soon passed all of them with full marks.

And in the seventh round, Ye Lin finally saw something different, because a specially made cage appeared directly in front of him.

Inside the cage, a monster was roaring, its eyes blood-red as if scorched by raging fire, revealing crazy killing intent. Its body was huge with knotted muscles, like a moving small mountain.

Its sharp claws made harsh metallic scraping sounds against the cage, as if it were expressing its anger toward Ye Lin.

"Seventh round of comprehensive ability assessment, escape ability assessment. Please persist for 3 minutes under the pursuit of the Level 25 monster, the Blazing Fire Demon Wolf. If you are not injured after 3 minutes, it will be considered full marks."

A timer appeared at the end of the corridor.

"Assessment begins."

The moment the mechanical female voice fell, the cage slowly opened. The Level 25 Blazing Fire Demon Wolf stepped out slowly, its red eyes filled with greedy, bloodthirsty intent.

It had been hungry for a long time. The moment it saw Ye Lin, it was like a lonely old bachelor seeing a peerless beauty, and it lunged out fiercely.

"Forbidden Spell—World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder!"

Boom!

Dazzling silver-white thunder snakes swept out, and in the blink of an eye, the Blazing Fire Demon Wolf turned into a charred wolf corpse.
