Chapter 41: The Opening Gate: Absolute Strength Crushes All

No questions allowed; what if you don't understand?

A few examinees muttered softly.

At that moment, the Trial Tower suddenly emitted several beams of light, shining on those muttering examinees, and they vanished instantly.

Immediately after, the authoritative voice sounded again.

Violation of the rules will cancel your college entrance exam qualification.

In an instant, thousands of examinees' faces changed dramatically, and they all covered their mouths.

The rules are that strict, not even the faintest muttering is allowed.

The Trial Tower fell into silence; even the sound of a needle dropping to the ground could be heard.

All examinees even made their breathing cautious; the atmosphere became extremely delicate.

Three years of high school, studying hard; being kicked out of the exam hall would be utterly disgraceful and waste all prior effort.

Jiang Chen recalled Lu Yun's repeated emphasis: the college entrance exam rules must be strictly observed, any violation will be severely punished, even the smallest infraction cannot be tolerated.

He was confident he could follow the rules, then turned his head toward Yue Dapeng.

He couldn't help worrying whether he could restrain his own mouth.

For someone who loves to talk so much, preventing him from speaking would probably be very difficult.

Sure enough, Yue Dapeng was desperately covering his mouth, looking extremely nervous.

He himself knew that not letting him speak would be more painful than death.

"This guy still has a bit of self-awareness," Jiang Chen chuckled inwardly, no longer worrying about Yue Dapeng.

The authoritative voice sounded again, detailing the exam rules.

"The Trial Tower sets different test scenarios for different professions; Support Class will face non-combat scenarios, while combat-oriented professions will participate in combat scenarios

After passing the basic exam, each profession can choose scenarios of varying difficulty, and different difficulty levels grant different point rewards.

Points will become part of your exam scores and also serve as an important qualification for entering higher education institutions.

In higher education institutions, points are even more valuable than Gold Coins; finally, remember that during the exam you may use equipment you carry, but no other items are allowed, and any violation will directly cancel your exam qualification.

At the same time, after entering the Trial Tower, your storage space will be sealed.

The authoritative voice elaborated the exam rules in detail; as long as examinees have normal intelligence, they can understand, and those who muttered at the start have only brought trouble upon themselves.

Instead, they have doomed their own excellent exam qualification!

"Now, all examinees, line up to enter the Tower."

Everyone queued in order to enter the Trial Tower.

The order was excellent; everyone adhered to the rules.

Even those who are usually rich heirs and heiresses at home dared not act recklessly now.

The college entrance exam is the most important test each year in the Shenlong Empire.

It is not only held in Jiangbei Province, but also conducted simultaneously across major provinces nationwide.

On that day, the number of participants will exceed one million.

The Empire's high officials will also watch this exam; anyone who dares to cause trouble during it is courting death.

Li Mingyu was also among the crowd.

As the Young Guild Leader of Huangtian Guild, he is usually arrogant and domineering; when would he ever line up honestly?

But today, he dared not act out at all.

Jiang Chen followed the line into the Tower.

Before departing, he had already removed his Shielding Badge.

When entering the Tower, a beam of light shone on him, and then he was transported to a solitary

isolated space.

This matched his speculation; the Trial Tower is like an Instance, and entrants are sent to different spaces.

At the top level of the Trial Tower stood several middle-aged men with an imposing, weighty aura.

Each of them wore the attire of Support Class, Warrior, or Mage, covering all professions.

None of them were below Level 70.

They are the examiners responsible for this Jiangbei Province college entrance exam.

"Jiang Chen, Level 16, Necromancer Summoner?"

An image of Jiang Chen appeared before them.

"This is the new profession reported by Baiyun Shi Di Yi Zhong Xue."

"Haven't seen a new profession in a long time; the last one appeared over 30 years ago, right?"

"Yes, more than 30 years ago a new profession called Elf Messenger emerged, classified as a Control-type combat profession, designated as Rare."

"Necromancer Summoner, based on the data reported by First Middle School, should be a Summoner-type Mage."

"Let's see how strong this new profession is; hope it won't disappoint us."

"It shouldn't be lacking; at least it won't be weaker than Rare professions, otherwise it couldn't reach Level 16."

"First, handle it according to the rules for Rare-level Mages, and keep records."

After discussion, the few decided Jiang Chen's exam method.

A monster appeared before Jiang Chen.

The monster had a wolf's head but wore a mage's robe.

In its hand it also held a staff.

It is a mage monster.

I just don't know how strong it is.

Between Jiang Chen and this wizard monster there is a Light Screen separating them.

Detection Technique cannot penetrate this Light Screen.

Jiang Chen cannot currently obtain information about this wizard monster.

"Exam task: kill the Wolf Beastman Wizard."

No further information is provided.

On the Light Screen appears

a countdown.

Jiang Chen also readied himself.

A Skeleton Warrior appears beside him.

3. 2. 1.

The moment the Light Screen vanishes, the Skeleton Warrior rushes toward the Wolf Beastman Wizard.

And Jiang Chen's Soul Burn moves even faster.

It almost lands on the Wolf Beastman Wizard's head at the exact instant the Light Screen disappears.

The Wolf Beastman Wizard lets out a wail and collapses to the ground.

"Dead?"

Jiang Chen is speechless for a moment; this strength is unreasonably low, isn't it?

At this moment, on the top floor of the Tower, several Examiners show shocked expressions.

"What skill is this?"

"An instant kill—how could it be an instant kill?"

"Is there a problem with the data? Was the setting wrong?"

"The setting is correct; it was configured for a Rare Profession, with the monster's level two tiers above the profession's."

Different levels and different Main Combat Type professions face different monsters.

Rare Profession characters must face monsters that are two levels higher than themselves.

High-level Professionals face monsters one level above themselves.

Other professionals encounter monsters of the same level as themselves.

Mages versus wizard monsters, Warriors versus Warrior monsters.

The types are also the same.

Although they can all fight and win, an instant kill like Jiang Chen's is unparalleled.

A single encounter, direct crushing, instant kill!
