Chapter 252

Time passed second by second.

More and more monsters appeared on the mountain.

The first batch of freshmen to enter had no healing professionals.

Relying solely on health potions to recover,

Hong Ling and the others gradually began to struggle.

And the freshmen watching from the outside,

seeing those dense swarms of monsters, couldn't help but feel a desire to retreat.

They started to lose their nerve!

The mentors had made it very clear:

dying on Hongwu Mountain would at most result in being teleported out, with no impact on oneself.

But the swarms of abyss monsters, one after another, clearly brought them heavy psychological pressure.

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, a low roar sounded.

A massive wolf-like monster appeared.

Its face was corrupted and festering, dripping with unknown slime, just like a zombie.

"So disgusting."

"Looks so strong, is it a BOSS? Didn't they say they were all the lowest-level monsters?"

A senior student introduced: "Rot Walker. No skills, attacks carry toxic damage, wanders in the Outer Realm all year round."

"It's the creature that professionals adventuring in the Outer Realm fear encountering the most."

"Its attributes are very strong, but because it has no intelligence, it will pounce on anything it sees to prey on it."

"It's often killed by prey grouping up to counterattack, so it really counts as the lowest end of the food chain."

Subsequently,

this senior student introduced the four-dimensional attributes of the Rot Walker to the freshmen one by one.

The freshmen gasped.

The attributes were almost approaching those of a lord-level monster!

And this was still the lowest level?

Just as the senior student said,

the Rot Walker erupted with unimaginable speed and pounced on the freshman battlefield.

Hong Ling took the lead, shaking off the Wandering Scavenger Beasts around her, and attacked the Rot Walker with her short blade.

Various blade skills emerged one after another!

Her points kept stacking up!

829194.

Towards the end, the point increase became extremely slow.

As a place for freshmen to show their strength, Hongwu Mountain

could test lord-level combat power.

That is to say, being able to solo kill a lord-level monster would earn you full marks.

Logically speaking,

at the freshman stage, without guidance from mentors,

one generally wouldn't have such strength.

But Hong Ling was different.

Previously, because her job grade didn't meet her own expectations,

she had painstakingly studied weapon skills, and with the addition of her SS-rank job, she was able to reach this score.

"She should be able to get full marks,"

Li Yao evaluated secretly.

If this girl were placed in the contention battle, she would probably be a combatant like the Little Sword Head or Ji Nie Yuan.

It wouldn't be strange for her to get full marks.

If Shang Shang Zijin went in, she would probably be around 85 points.

That girl Qin Qin Yue,

could she even pass with 60 points?

Li Yao yawned and analyzed casually.

Too boring.

Except for the monsters looking a bit novel,

neither the freshmen nor the monsters' strength could pique Li Yao's interest.

It would be better to go grind two dungeons; that would be more practical.

Li Yao looked toward Senior Xue's side.

Xue Xue Jiulan noticed Li Yao's gaze and looked back.

Li Yao reached out and pointed into the distance.

Xue Xue Jiulan immediately understood.

She shook her head and blinked her eyes,

meaning: wait a little longer, there's still a good show to watch!

"Ahhh!"

A shrill scream rang out.

A freshman was killed by a monster.

Their figure stumbled and appeared outside the barrier.

The Hongwu Mountain stele sounded with a mechanical voice similar to a system.

"Chang Chang Jianzhong, S-rank professional, obtained 73 martial arts points, comprehensive strength assessment: lower-level leader!"

Lower-level leader,

which means joining forces with a few professionals of the same strength could defeat a leader-level monster!

This kind of strength was considered extremely good among freshmen!

Immediately, several mentors extended olive branches to Chang Chang Jianzhong.

Chang Chang Jianzhong hadn't yet recovered from the shadow of death,

and was still dazed

when he heard the mentor he admired inviting him.

He scratched his head and trotted over.

At this moment,

everyone realized that Some Jingyu Hongwu Mountain really didn't seem to kill people.

Those ferocious abyss monsters just looked scary.

As long as you relied on your own strength to get martial arts points, you could receive invitations from mentors!

The freshmen immediately began to sign up enthusiastically.

"Good, good, good! When they come out, you can go in."

"Ten people go in at a time. There are only about a thousand freshmen this year, don't rush, everyone will have a chance!"

"We mentors aren't doing anything today but watching your strength to see if you are really as weak as Dean Xue said!"

Playing the good cop and the bad cop is the only way to motivate freshmen to improve.

These Some Jingyu mentors were better at playing games than anyone!

Soon,

someone inside Hongwu Mountain couldn't hold on anymore.

One after another, they were killed by monsters and teleported out.

"Qiu Miaozhu, S-rank professional, obtained 74 martial arts points, comprehensive strength assessment: lower-level leader!"

"Yu Chuan, SS-rank professional, obtained 81 martial arts points, comprehensive strength assessment: mid-level leader!"

"..."

"Pei Pei Bochao, SS-rank professional, obtained 93 martial arts points, comprehensive strength assessment: lower-level lord!"

As soon as Pei Pei Bochao came out, several mentors immediately surrounded him.

Top-tier geniuses like Hong Ling were usually eyed by big shots.

For someone like Pei Pei Bochao, this was almost the best student they could get.

Pei Pei Bochao was a bit overwhelmed for a moment,

and then, seeing so many mentors surrounding him, he felt a bit high-spirited.

Holding his long spear, he looked around at the freshmen with an air of being the only one who mattered.

"Holy crap! The first lord-level combat power!"

"Is this the strength of a provincial top scholar?"

"Up until now, I haven't even killed a lord-level monster. We're all freshmen this year, why is the gap so big!?"

"Stop arguing! Hong Ling is still inside!"

At this time,

inside Hongwu Mountain, only Hong Ling remained from the first batch of freshmen.

Even the senior students watching from afar couldn't help but be a bit surprised.

Being able to persist for so long just after arriving at Some Jingyu,

her future achievements wouldn't be low!

Within a year, she has hopes of reaching the deputy team leader level!

All three Rot Walkers appeared, crazily attacking Hong Ling without any intelligence.

Hong Ling held her short blade, bringing her SS-rank job intensity into full play.

Her short blade slashed at the Rot Walkers, while she dodged all of their attacks.

There were still countless Wandering Scavenger Beasts around waiting for an opportunity.

About ten minutes later,

Hong Ling emerged from Hongwu Mountain covered in blood,

becoming the first freshman to kill her way out.

The blood on her body was mostly from the Rot Walkers, and a small part was her own.

"Clang!"

The short blade returned to its sheath.

Her disheveled appearance didn't affect the heroic spirit she exuded in the slightest.

"Hong Ling, SS-rank professional, obtained 100 martial arts points, comprehensive strength assessment: mid-level lord!"

"Holy crap! Full marks!"

"Hong Ling! My goddess!"

The freshmen immediately became excited.

Mid-level lord means being able to solo kill a lord-level monster!

This is a real big shot!

And she's a girl with excellent looks and figure. Being teammates with such a big shot would be just too awesome!

Immediately, quite a few freshmen surrounded her.

Congratulations and compliments were endless.

Even the senior students in the distance couldn't help themselves.

Things like hugging a big thigh must be done early!

Hong Ling stood in the middle of the crowd,

enjoying the compliments of the crowd, lifting her snow-white chin, and looking straight at Li Yao, her eyes filled with a desire for battle!

Li Yao was stunned.

Why are you looking at me?

Li Yao suddenly had a bad premonition.

Could it be that

the good show Senior Xue mentioned

refers to watching a show about me?

"Everyone, if you want to team up with classmate Hong Ling, talk about it in private. There are still many students who want to enter Hongwu Mountain."

A mentor said with a smile.

"Next, I will call the names of the students, please step forward."

"Don't worry, it's all in the order of registration, there won't be any cutting in line."

"Luo Xiangdi, Yan Tianyu, Qin Qin Yue."

Just then,

Hong Ling suddenly stood out, looked at that mentor, and said loudly:

"Sorry teacher, let me interrupt."
