Chapter 68: Everyone Underestimated Big Boss's Heaven-Defying Degree

On the audience seats, Miss Ratania, wearing a hood, clenched her small fists tightly, staring fixedly at Big Boss as he walked up onto the stage.

The Blood Clan Princess, who usually slept well, had suffered insomnia for the first time last night.

Thinking that tomorrow her beloved disciple would ascend the exam platform, she tossed and turned.

All sorts of thoughts filled her head.

What if Big Boss's assessment didn't pass? Hmm, then she would have to carry the cross on her own back and go beg the Dean for mercy, asking her to let Big Boss stay.

What if it was discovered that Big Boss possessed the power of suffering? Hmm, then she would have to elope with her good disciple.

The two of them resisting the whole world together...

This feeling was actually quite nice, quite like a romantic love story in a picture book.

On the candidate seats.

Mu sat woodenly to one side, facing Xiu Si Da Er walking over, saying nothing, not even daring to move his gaze.

Damn it, I just wanted to quietly act cool, but now I didn't even manage to act cool and suffered social death instead—who do I go to for justice? Xiu Si walked shyly and bashfully, facing Mu sitting there, saying nothing, not even daring to cast his gaze over.

Damn it, I just wanted to quietly follow the Arrive of lying low, but now I didn't even stay hidden and acted cool in front of Mu Mian—who do I go to for justice? The two sat quietly side by side, neither speaking first, the atmosphere extremely tense.

"Um, let's keep watching the match, Big Boss Li Cheng is up soon."

In the end, Mu was the first to break the silence.

"Mm, I hope Big Boss Li Cheng can achieve a good grade."

Xiu Si Da Er also replied in a muffled voice.

"Um, passing should be fine, but I think he still can't compare to you, Xiu Si."

"Um, same same, I think he can't compare to you either, boss."

"Don't call me boss anymore, Xiu Si, I'm not worthy."

"... No, you will always be my boss..."

On the VIP seats.

The vast majority of legendary figures had little interest in Big Boss ascending the exam platform.

On one hand, it was because Big Boss had no fame on Tianming Continent, and these legendary figures didn't know him at all.

On the other hand, it was because the previous two candidates, Mu He and Xiu Si Da Er, had achieved results that were too dazzling.

Even in a year like the Miracle Generation, geniuses of this level were not common; having one was already lucky, and having two was lucky beyond measure.

As for the possibility of a third appearing? "That's purely a fool's dream." God of War Bade commented: "I said, besides Xiu Si Da Er being able to barely suppress my son Mu, the rest of the candidates are all trash."

"All they can fight for is third place."

Liuli listened quietly to Bade's words, saying nothing, only slightly curling the corner of her mouth.

Knowing her lover as she did, something beyond ordinary understanding would surely happen next.

Thus, she turned her gaze toward Big Boss.

"Please sit here."

"Okay."

With a gentle smile on his face, Big Boss slowly sat on the chair and lifted the Sorting Hat.

Touching this hat that he had seen countless times in the PC Game, he suddenly had an indescribable feeling.

Was this the Immersive Experience? Being able to play such a game, he was too lucky.

"Student, please speed up a bit, being nervous is meaningless." The Chief Examiner urged him.

The Sorting Hat also opened its mouth: "Relax, kid, I know you're under pressure being tested after two geniuses, but it's fine—one's fate is set, living one's own life well and playing one's own hand well is more important than anything."

"I've been taught, thank you for your guidance." Big Boss smiled gently and put the hat on his head.

The Sorting Hat was very satisfied with Big Boss's attitude, after all, it was an old relic that had existed for over a thousand years and already possessed its own soul.

Usually it liked to nag and act as a life mentor; for juniors who were willing to listen to advice, the Sorting Hat was still happy to look after them.

It secretly decided that if Big Boss was only a little short of the standard, it would let off some steam and let him pass this round.

But only a little—if he was too far short, it would violate its principles.

Thinking this, the Sorting Hat closed its eyes and perceived Big Boss's talent and strength.

"Mm, Big Boss Li Cheng, not yet an adult and already at Second Stage Peak? Mm, not bad, not bad, so your talent..."

Saying this, the Sorting Hat's voice suddenly cut out.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds... just like that, after more than ten seconds passed.

On the audience seats, whispers also arose.

"What's going on, is the hat broken? I said long ago that thing is over a thousand years old, completely unreliable!"

"Not right, could it be that the hat found something wrong with that Big Boss Li Cheng?"

"Something wrong? Sent from the Abyss?"

The Chief Examiner on the exam platform also frowned, raising his hand to one side, ready to call for a mob beating at any moment.

Just then, the Sorting Hat spoke again.

"Sorry, sorry, please forgive my rudeness, oh, Primordial Fire above, Order above, Furnace above... all gods above, this old man in these thousand years has still never seen such talent."

"A terrifying talent as deep as the Dark Universe and as quiet as the Deep Sea."

"Um, can you speak human language?" The Chief Examiner frowned.

"I cannot evaluate it with a simple grade, um..." the Sorting Hat said sorrowfully: "If I must use a grade to evaluate it, I think Big Boss Li Cheng's talent surpasses SSS!"

"What did you say!" The Chief Examiner looked at the Sorting Hat, then at Big Boss Li Cheng with a gentle smile on his face, full of shock: "Old thing, you can't really be broken, can you?"

"Who did you say is broken? Who did you say is an old thing?" The Sorting Hat narrowed its eyes. "I guarantee on my Hat Soul, I absolutely did not misjudge!"

"Cough, cough." The Chief Examiner smiled embarrassedly, then, still uneasy, pinched Li Cheng's wrist and used his Own Body to cooperate with the Sorting Hat's Perception.

Immediately after, the shock in his eyes could no longer be Hidden.

Correct, upon hearing Li Cheng's talent was Beyond SSS Grade, the Chief Examiner's first choice was not Praise/Admire and Surprise, but Questioning whether the Sorting Hat's quality had a problem.

There was no way, SSS Rank talent, in the entire history of Full Moon Academy, was countable on one's fingers.

Let alone Beyond SSS Grade.

Among those with detailed historical records, only that founder of Full Moon Academy, the Origin Magic Creator from Ten Thousand Years ago, the profound Moonlight Walker Lady, had ever reached this level of talent.

Yet Li Cheng, however, did not have the self-awareness of having done something very awesome, just standing there smiling in the Sunlight.

Joke, he was a Player, ah, As Long As he met the Requirement, passed the Plot, he could infinitely level up, infinitely gain Power/Strength, a Player, ah.

In this World, how could an NPC's talent possibly be stronger than his Own Body? "Unbelievable, unbelievable, how is this possible, today I, am I Witnessing history? Aiyo, my old Waist."

On the VIP Seats, the Order High Priest, who had been idle, Slash stood up, Because/Due To standing up too fiercely, he Directly strained his Waist.

"Beyond SSS Grade talent..." The Furnace High Priest also Murmured: "When the Abyss's infinite Terror envelops Tianming Continent, the Flame's Yi Year 1345 will send the seed that rewrites the future into the Human World... this aphorism that was almost forgotten, could it be true?"

And God of War Bade at this moment was quite Sorrowful, he Stared at Li Cheng on the Exam Platform, only feeling his face burning hot.

One Xiu Si Da Er was fine, and now another Li Cheng? No, I just wanted my son to Act cool, is it this hard? "Sigh." He Sorrowfully Sighed, comforting himself in his heart: 'It's fine, it's fine, at least this Li Cheng only has good talent, has Not Yet experienced Resist against the Abyss, unlike my son Mu, who has already killed 21 Cultists.'

His thought had Just Now been born in his mind, when he heard the Sorting Hat's side "Slash" "Slash" suck in two breaths of cold air.

Immediately after, just listening to the Tone, one could feel the Sorting Hat's fearful voice rang out:

"1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 300, 800... 972? The number of times you defeated Abyss Cultists, actually reached 972? And inside there are High Stage and Elite Cultists?"

"No, not right, Li, Li Cheng, you, you, you... why would you have defeated so many Abyss Cultists?"

"Why are there also many Abyss Cultists, not just defeated by you 1 time? Did they Win the Revival Match?"

"And, you, the Abyss Dead Souls lingering on you, they, on them, even have Substantial fear... they fear you? Abyss Cultists, that group of Feng Bao actually fear you? How is this possible?"

"You, you, in the end, are..."

"What Divine Being?"
