Every one of her skills was released with extreme precision, leaving the opponent absolutely no room to maneuver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Zhuge Ni defeated her opponent and secured victory in the first round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Lingyu brandished his longsword. At level 15, he faced an opponent who was only level 8, feeling no pressure at all. After a few strikes, he cleaved the opponent into conceding on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jun of Yucai High School held a black long spear in his hand, with a lifelike shadow dragon coiled around the shaft. Every time the spear was swung, the sound of a dragon’s roar echoed across the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a playful look on his face, he toyed with his opponent incessantly until the very last moment, when he kicked the opponent off the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zhenglin of Experimental High School was much faster. As an SSS-rank Rainbow Blade professional, his speed was as ghostly as a phantom; he solved his opponent with a single flash of movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On every other arena, heart-pounding battles were taking place at this moment. Only the arena where Ye Lin was located had a very strange atmosphere: a petite girl in a short skirt sat slumped on the ground, wailing loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't win. This person is a monster. I can't win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under immense pressure, Bei Beibei’s crying resounded throughout the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly enough to make the listener weep and break their heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who didn't know better would have thought this petite girl had suffered some kind of bullying at the hands of Ye Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was dumbfounded, and even Ye Lin stood frozen in place, feeling somewhat at a loss for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Forbidden Spell he was clutching in his hand was neither here nor there—he couldn't release it, nor could he easily put it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected the opponent's mental fortitude to be so poor that she could actually be scared to tears directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Bei Beibei was helped off the arena by the proctor, and this arena match concluded with Ye Lin’s victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bei Beibei was even taken directly to a psychological counselor, and it took a full half-hour of guidance before her sobbing gradually ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Candidate No. 18, Ye Lin, wins the first round. Score plus 10.\" The proctor announced the result with a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been a proctor for so many years; he had seen life-and-death struggles on the arena, people conceding on the spot, and one-hit kills, but this was his first time seeing someone scared to tears before a move was even made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin could be considered to have set a historical precedent: scaring an opponent to tears during the college entrance exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin was also the only one in the entire venue to achieve victory without engaging in any combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a beast! Such a cute girl, and he actually made her cry like that. He really doesn't have a shred of tenderness for the fairer sex.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I always thought 'scared to tears' was an exaggerated figure of speech. I never expected it to be a literal verb.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did he whisper some harsh, terrifying words to that girl to scare her like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the whispers around him, Ye Lin was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, he really hadn't done anything; he hadn't even touched the other person once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the ten-minute break, the second round of arena matches officially began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this round, Ye Lin’s opponent was a sword cultivator carrying a longsword on his back. This person had sword-like brows and starry eyes, a slender build, and a temperament that made one involuntarily take notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Lin walk onto the stage, the sword cultivator’s expression changed slightly. He then narrowed his eyes and spoke softly, as if muttering to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the opponent is you, it might be a bit troublesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However... I will win. I am the strongest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering to himself, the sword cultivator drew the longsword from his back, and a dazzling sword light illuminated the entire arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin’s expression immediately turned solemn, and he began to treat the opponent before him with great seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit; he would not underestimate any of his opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The professions of job-changers were strange and varied, and their skills each had their own merits. Surface-level rank did not represent true combat power—a point Ye Lin understood deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the opponent was so confident, he must have extraordinary means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The proctor’s expression also became serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both candidates, please stand within the circle. Do not make any unnecessary movements until I announce the start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, please display your profession and level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ye Lin, Forbidden Spellcaster, Level 18]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Chen Chengchen, Cloud-Stepping Sword Cultivator, Level 11]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin’s gaze tightened. Level 11? He certainly had the capital for confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Profession and level display complete. The second round of the competition begins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the proctor announced the start, Chen Chengchen turned around, gracefully sheathed his sword, and walked off the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Chen Chengchen’s confident and indifferent words reached the ears of Ye Lin and the proctor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I forfeit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proctor: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like eating a banquet at a five-star hotel, only to have a bottle of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce served as the grand finale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had watched this guy act so naturally cool that they thought he had some ultimate trump card to deal with Ye Lin, but he just conceded as soon as he got up there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't you say you would win?\" Ye Lin couldn't help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I will win, but not today, and not now.\" Chen Chengchen smiled confidently, looking calm, cool, and collected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The college entrance exam trials were indeed full of talented people, and they spoke so eloquently too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was fine not to fight; under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was better to fight less to avoid arousing the suspicion of those with ulterior motives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Candidate No. 18, Ye Lin, wins the second round. Score plus 10.\" The proctor, with a strange look on his face, announced Ye Lin’s victory once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He discovered for the first time that being a proctor could be so easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others had to be on high alert, constantly monitoring the candidates' combat situations to prevent life-threatening dangers, while he, aside from reciting the rules, had nothing to do at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the third round arrived. Given the cautionary tales of the two predecessors, the candidate this time had already made up his mind the moment he drew Ye Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, what bad luck. How did I draw you, this monster?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Proctor, I forfeit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no desire to fight Ye Lin at all. Seeing the scene of thunderous destruction earlier, he knew he was no match. Since he couldn't win anyway, and getting seriously injured would affect his state for the next round, it was better to just forfeit cleanly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, Ye Lin advanced to the fourth round without ever having moved a hand, and his score reached an astonishing 130 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, both the candidates in the exam hall and the audience watching the live stream outside were dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you kidding me? This guy only cast one Forbidden Spell from start to finish, and he even retracted it halfway through. It’s equivalent to not having fought at all, yet he’s won three matches in a row? Is the college entrance exam really this simple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These people are too stupid, just fight him! What are you afraid of? A Forbidden Spellcaster has to pay with their life force to cast skills. It’s just a high school exam; does he really dare to risk his life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know if he pays with his life, but if I got hit by that thunder Forbidden Spell of his, I’d definitely lose mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, is this guy going to get a perfect score without having to move a hand even once?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That won't happen. Of those who can make it to the fourth round, who would easily concede? And who would be that much weaker than the others? If this Ye Lin wants to make it to the fifth round, he’ll definitely have to fight someone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! Look, everyone! This beast got a bye!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1445,"2026-06-21T02:52:47.916Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ed6680d67b234319c8cbcc5d84643e2437ce396ddb6c9fbe1f8edd6d62c77311","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-59","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-57",847,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fforbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-cover.jpg"]
