Chapter 46: If You Can't Beat the Summoned Beast, Beat the Summoner

Jiang Chen not only easily one‑shot the Boss-level Monster in the Second Round, but also easily handled the challenge in the Third Round, causing the Examiners present to regard his strength with newfound respect.

Although the monsters provided by the Examiners had been weakened, Jiang Chen's performance remained impressive.

One‑shot kills, all three rounds were straight one‑shot kills, a crushing level of combat power that shocked everyone who saw it.

In stark contrast to others' hard‑won victories, Jiang Chen's side appears even more unconventional.

Lu Qingyu, in the Third Round examination, continuously released Skills and evaded the Wolf Beastman boss's attacks.

Li Mingyu adopted a hard‑line combat style, directly grappling the monsters and unleashing the Berserker's warlike trait.

Every punch lands on flesh, every Blade draws blood!

Han Li performed relatively better; she skillfully used the Stealth Assassin's agility, cleverly controlling the monsters, with every move full of tactics.

However, Jiang Chen's performance far surpassed the others.

He seemed to cheat, needing only to summon two Skeleton Warriors to easily end the battle, barely moving himself.

Yes, he truly didn't move; all the Examiners can testify that Jiang Chen just lay there, at most nibbling a sweet potato and moving his mouth.

"Sigh, Jiang Chen's strength can easily Solo Run those Low-level Dungeons..."

"Low-level Dungeons, you're getting senile; I think as long as it's a dungeon below level 20, even at Nightmare Difficulty, he can Solo Run and finish it!"

"We haven't even pushed him to his limit; his limit is far beyond this!"

"What's the hurry? There's still the Fifth Round assessment; it depends on how ambitious Jiang Chen is now. To become Provincial Top Scholar, Empire Top Scholar, he must enter the Fifth Round selection!"

"Hmm, once he reaches the Fifth Round, he won't be able to hold back his full effort!"

The Examiners were surprised by his performance; some thought he could easily Solo Run Low-level Dungeons, while others believed his true combat power far exceeds what they've seen.

They decided to wait until the Fifth Round assessment to evaluate Jiang Chen's strength more comprehensively.

The only Examiner who did not join the discussion was Zhong Nanli, who had been silently watching Jiang Chen with keen interest.

At this moment, all the Examiners present realized that Zhong Nanli's interest this time was entirely on Jiang Chen, with no interest at all in the other Examinees.

The Third Round test ended quickly, lasting only about ten minutes.

Lu Qingyu, Han Li, Li Mingyu and others successfully killed the Boss-level Monster, earning 500 Score, but some Examinees were eliminated.

Three hundred Examinees passed the Third Round test; they all know that the previous exams already suffice to enter a top‑hundred higher‑education institution.

Those eliminated naturally lost the qualification to advance to the next round.

Some gave up voluntarily, others faced crises and, after being injured, had their assessment forcibly terminated.

Yet even so, they could already enter a university among the top dozens of the Shenlong Empire.

In the end, only 120 people passed the Third Round.

"Now announcing the ranking after the Third Round."

"1. Jiang Chen, Total Score: 2105."

"2. Han Li, Total Score: 970."

"3. Lu Qingyu, Total Score: 770."

"4. Li Mingyu, Total Score: 765."

4. Li Mingyu, total score: 765 points.

"Yue Dapeng, Total Score: 365."

Jiang Chen saw Yue Dapeng's name at sixty‑six and realized he also advanced successfully.

Yue Dapeng did fine; he worked hard in the examination hall and displayed his full strength.

With such a result, his hope of entering Jiangbei University is unquestionable.

Yet Jiang Chen knows well that Yue Dapeng, having reached this point, will definitely join the next round and will not back down.

Moreover, optimistically, in the Fourth Round Yue Dapeng might even achieve a good ranking.

"The Fourth Round is about to start; my chance has come." Li Mingyu clenched his battle Blade, full of fighting spirit.

Flames seem to blaze in his eyes!

The Examiner again announced the Fourth Round rules; this round's Difficulty will continue to rise, and the danger will increase.

The Examinees all understand this round will be a greater challenge, but no one chooses to give up.

"Danger has increased in the Fourth Round, but likewise, you may choose to voluntarily give up; there's no need to force yourselves..."

"With your current Scores, you can already enter a first‑rate university!"

The remaining Examinees said nothing.

They were bathed in light, their condition fully restored.

"Given that, I respect your choice."

Since anyone who reaches the Fourth Round is not weak, whether in mind or attributes.

Their posture upright, eyes steady as they looked at the Examiner announcing the rules.

"The Fourth Round examination rules are as follows."

"Each of you will face ten waves of monster attacks."

"Each wave consists of ten monsters, totaling one hundred monsters."

"The interval between waves is one minute."

"Regardless of whether you have cleared the previous wave, after one minute the next wave will appear."

"The final wave will be led by a Boss-level Monster."

"Eliminate all to pass."

"Each monster yields 10 Score."

"If you clear all, this round's Score will double, totaling 2000 Score."

If you can clear everything, the final points for this round will be doubled, totaling 2000 points.

After stating the rules, a Light Screen rose in front of each person.

Hearing the rule, many people swallowed, and to be honest, it really did become harder.

Behind the Light Screen the first batch of ten monsters had already appeared.

The monsters were ordinary monsters, Level 13 Wolf Beastmen.

Among the ten monsters, nine were Warrior-type monsters, and one mage-type stood at the back.

Warrior Compatibility with the mage, thus the Difficulty rose sharply.

Jiang Chen calculated in his mind; this Difficulty rose far more than just a little.

If the ability to clear monsters is insufficient, they will be surrounded by more and more monsters, eventually leading to failure.

He already understands that this round tests the ability to swiftly clear monsters.

From basic combat power, to stamina, to dueling ability, and then to swift monster‑clearing ability.

Thus covering the strengths and weaknesses of each profession.

This exam truly took painstaking effort.

Several Examiners already showed smiles.

They each stared at Jiang Chen.

"This time, we'll see how you respond."

"To deal with a Summoner, the best method isn't to destroy the Summoned Entity, but to eliminate the Summoner themselves."

"Hmph, if we can't beat the Summoned Entity this time, we'll beat the Summoner!"

"I think Jiang Chen might be flustered."

"But his Summoned Entity is strong enough; completing this round should not be a problem."

Zhong Nanli, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke up,

"I think this round of testing won't stump him."

Everyone looked at Zhong Nanli with slight surprise.

Zhong Nanli's words carried about seventy percent certainty, seeming very confident.

Although some Examiners thought otherwise, the status gap was evident, and they did not rebut.

Anyway, soon the facts will prove who is right and who is wrong.

Some Examiners also intended to watch Jiang Chen show a flustered demeanor.
