Chapter 47: Demon Swordsman Debuts, Want to Be Strong? Enter Frenzy

The Fourth Round test officially began, and Jiang Chen still performed effortlessly.

When the assessment began, he summoned the third Skeleton Warrior, and the three Skeleton Warriors quickly rushed toward the nine Level 13 Wofu Orc Warriors in front of him.

Each strike resulted in an instant kill, and the monsters of this round could not pose any threat to him.

Jiang Chen's palm flicked, and a flamboyant Flame appeared, smashing onto the boss monster's head.

Soul Burn!

In three seconds, everything was instantly killed, crushed, even before a breath could be exhaled.

"What?"

"Who saw clearly that Jiang Chen actually summoned a Skeleton Warrior?"

"Even those ten monsters earlier couldn't stop his three Skeleton Warriors?"

"This kid is too cunning, he even kept this trick from the start, slipping past us!"

"Alright, alright, good kid, you like to hide cards, huh? Fine, let's see how many tricks you still have."

"Ha ha, the stronger he gets, the more enjoyable it is for me to watch..."

Zhong Nanli's expression also relaxed, as if Jiang Chen's current state matched what he had expected.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but pout; this is the so‑called gaokao, far lacking in challenge.

It's not as thrilling as his first run through the Death Mine Dungeon.

Not a single surprise.

This little trick he occasionally shows makes these battle‑worn Examiners shout and gasp in stunned silence.

Jiang Chen can already picture these people perched up high, their faces showing that brilliant expression.

Only unchallenging things are boring, making him feel drowsy now.

Unconsciously, he pulled out a sweet potato and leisurely began to eat it.

"

Not watching, not watching, this kid has no appeal.

"Exactly, better to watch others."

As for Jiang Chen, once a monster appears, it's dealt with within at most three seconds, truly uninteresting.

Watching others is far more interesting.

Lu Qingyu kept retreating, stamping a Flame Path beneath her feet.

The Wolf Werewolf stepped onto the flames while pursuing Lu Qingyu, continuously taking damage.

Flame Path!

This is a Skill that only a Level 10 mage can master; once used, the area it passes through becomes Flame damage.

The effect here is excellent.

Group Attack is a mage's strength.

Although her level isn't high yet, Lu Qingyu already possesses two Group Attack Skills at this point.

The other is Ice Rain, which has a slowing effect.

With the two in Compatibility, Lu Qingyu swiftly clears the Wofu Orc Warriors.

In comparison, Han Li has it much harder.

The Stealth Assassin has strong burst, rich combat techniques, and many Control Skills.

Whether performing assassinations or one‑on‑one combat, it is an excellent profession.

The drawback is a lack of proficiency in group battles, having no Group Attack Skills.

So Han Li appears somewhat weak here, forced to clear enemies one by one.

Li Mingyu still maintains his wide‑swinging combat style.

A massive two‑handed sword whirls with a whooshing sound.

Regardless of which, the fights are all very entertaining.

Only Jiang Chen's side is extremely boring.

Not a single Examiner wants to watch him.

The time spent dazed far exceeds the time spent fighting monsters.

"No need to watch, the Fourth Round again has him taking first."

"Let's see if he dares to join the Fifth Round."

"Although his points are far ahead now, if he skips the Fifth Round, others will catch up."

In the Fourth Round exam, monsters each batch

Ten each, a batch appearing every minute.

Those who act slowly have already begun to face ever more monsters.

After three minutes, some have already given up this test.

The sheer number of monsters has them surrounded on all sides.

They are each gradually teleported outside the Trial Tower.

Being eliminated in the Fourth Round isn't shameful; it even carries some honor.

They are all geniuses; entering the Empire's top hundred elite academies is no problem.

The eliminated ones each wear a look of relief; the monsters were too many, too terrifying.

"Too scary, I thought I was going to be eaten."

"With so many monsters, how could we possibly kill them in time."

"No one knows how many can pass this round of the exam."

"I thought I was strong enough, but there are always people stronger."

"Speaking of which, that guy Jiang Chen is really impressive; I guess this time he won't be defeated either."

Yue Dapeng, after persisting until the fifth wave of monsters appeared, reached his limit and could only choose to give up.

He had just stepped out when he heard someone mention Jiang Chen; having held it in for a long time, he finally couldn't help but say, "Jiang Chen is my boss, of course he's awesome."

"Brother, may I ask your surname?"

"Easy to say, surname Yue, given name Dapeng, from Baiyun No. 1 Middle School," Yue Dapeng shouted.

"So you're Brother Yue, brother, tell us how great Jiang Chen is."

Yue Dapeng laughed, "Gladly, gladly, I'll tell you."

He began speaking at length; when he mentioned that Jiang Chen led him to clear a Nightmare-level Dungeon in ten minutes, the others showed expressions of disbelief.

How could that be possible?

No one believed him; they all thought Yue Dapeng was bragging.

Yue Dapeng didn't care whether they believed him; he just kept talking.

He could just speak his mind; he'd been holding it in all this time.

Right.

, truly held it in...

So I have to find someone to vent to, right? Whether you believe it or not, I just need to speak my mind first.

As more and more people were eliminated, the screen in the Control Room at the top of the Trial Tower grew increasingly sparse.

In the end, only five remained.

Jiang Chen, Lu Qingyu, Han Li, Li Mingyu, and Ye Xiuwen.

"Ye Xiuwen, Level 15, Magic Swordsman"

A few Examiners were watching Ye Xiuwen at that moment.

Ye Xiuwen brandished his Long Sword, weaving continuously within the monsters' encirclement.

His movements were as agile as Han Li's.

Although each attack seemed unimpressive, the cumulative effect caused the Wolf Beastmen to fall one by one unnoticed.

"This guy named Ye Xiuwen is finally starting to exert his power now."

"I told you, Magic Swordsman is clearly a Rare Profession; why didn't this guy's Score show at first? Turns out he was waiting here."

"He should be from the sword‑cultivating family, a member of the Ye Family.

Therefore he knows the rules of the trial, that the last two rounds are the key to increasing the Score."

"That's why he only started to exert his power now."

"The Ye Family once participated in drafting the trial rules, so they're naturally familiar."

"Huh, Li Mingyu finally decided to go Berserk."

"He's not stupid; he's calculating the timing, and now is the optimal moment to activate Berserk."

The seventh wave of monsters appeared.

Li Mingyu roared and triggered his Berserk Skill.

"Berserk: Duration 5 minutes, Strength increase 500%, Constitution increase 500%, Agility decrease 200%. After the Berserk effect ends, the user enters a weakened state for 30 minutes."

After Berserk, Li Mingyu's attack power multiplies several times.

However it can only be maintained for 5 minutes, so he waited until the seventh batch of monsters

appeared, then he activated Berserk.

Five minutes—enough.

At this point there were still over thirty monsters on the field, and with the seventh batch added, the total reached over forty.

In Berserk mode, Li Mingyu began frantically sweeping monsters.

Each swing could take down two or three monsters.

He started rapid Clear the Field.

The Trial entered a white‑hot stage, and everyone began to push with all their might...
