Chapter 56: Outclassing All Examinees, Easily Claiming the Champion

After eliminating the Abyssal Power that was wreaking havoc in the Battle Space, Jiang Chen appeared at the entrance of the Trial Tower.

Lu Qingyu, Han Li, Li Mingyu, and Ye Xiuwen also appeared together.

The entrance of the Trial Tower has already been closed after all that trouble.

"The Main Combat Type college entrance exam is over; examinees, please stay where you are and wait for the final score evaluation."

The examiner's voice rang throughout the venue; no one left, and the final scores will be announced soon after the exam ends, as they are every year.

The examinees looked up in anticipation, each hoping in their hearts for their own score; the period before the results are revealed is often the most eagerly awaited.

A Frontline Class Professional's score consists of two parts: points and evaluation.

Some top higher education institutions have requirements for profession, rank, and points, and also have standards for evaluation.

The higher an institution's ranking, the stricter its requirements.

Shenlong University generally requires Main Combat Type professions to be above rank 15, have over ten thousand points, and achieve at least an Excellent evaluation.

For the top‑20 schools, the rank and points requirements are relatively relaxed, but the evaluation must still be Excellent.

To enter a top school, the evaluation is extremely important.

However, among the tens of thousands of examinees nationwide each day, not everyone aims to get into Shenlong University or a university ranked in the Empire's top‑20.

Many examinees know their own strength and only expect to attend an ordinary university.

For such examinees, the evaluation isn't that crucial; as long as the points are sufficient, the rest doesn't matter.

As for examinees who did not enter the Battle Space, their final evaluation is given by the examiners of their own province.

For the Shenlong Empire, examinees who can enter the Battle Space

are geniuses and require further attention.

In Shenlong City, Li Xueru, Hong Jishi and several other top Shenlong Empire elites are replaying events in the Battle Space.

The replay works like a surveillance video playback; only this way can they know what actually happened inside when the Abyss began violating the Spatial Rules of the Battle Space.

When the replay started, they observed all the performances of Jiang Chen and the other examinees from the moment they entered the Battle Space.

"This year is a bit special; because of the Abyssal Power invasion, the Battle Space underwent a massive upheaval."

Li Xueru and Hong Jishi were calculating in their minds.

Under the Abyssal Corruption, they paid extra attention to each examinee's performance in the Battle Space, and during the replay, Jiang Chen entered their view.

"Honestly didn't expect it—this kid ended up turning the tide, impressive."

They saw all of Jiang Chen's performance in the Battle Space.

"The Necromancer Summoner—I've heard of this profession before; it's a brand‑new class that appeared in Jiangbei Province, Baiyun City, at the First Middle School."

"Exactly, I originally intended to keep a special eye on him in this exam, and didn't expect him to be this strong."

"Not only is the profession powerful, he must have awakened a talent, and that talent is also formidable."

"His profession has already completely surpassed examinees of the same level; this kid's temperament is excellent."

"Calm, decisive in killing, the profession is strong enough; this kid already possesses the qualities to become a top elite."

One flattering phrase after another flew from their mouths, all landing on Jiang Chen.

This is mainly thanks to Jiang Chen's performance being truly eye‑catching.

When they were worried about casualties, it was Jiang Chen alone

who turned the tide.

He single‑handedly destroyed the Abyss Demon's plan.

Compared with Jiang Chen, the others faded into obscurity.

Even the handful of them—only a dozen or so—had no highlight to speak of; they could at most be praised for courage, since they followed Jiang Chen and proactively attacked the monsters infected by the Abyssal Corruption.

"This year's evaluation is a bit hard to give."

"What's hard about it? Those who ran away are all softies; such people will only be deserters on the battlefield, no hope."

"We can't say it like that; after all, they're only teenagers."

"Jiang Chen is definitely Excellent; let's discuss the others together."

A few top elites are deciding the futures of the examinees.

In the past, these examinees would all be Heavenly Pride.

The Provincial Top Scholars of each province are rare geniuses.

But this year, because of Jiang Chen's presence, these people's performances have become somewhat unsightly.

Comparing people leads to death.

Comparing goods leads to being discarded.

Jiang Chen is like a dazzling star that completely eclipses everyone else's existence.

Amid the eager anticipation, the final scores were finally announced.

A massive Light Screen flickered in the sky.

1. Jiang Chen, Points: 34605, Evaluation: Excellent.

Jiang Chen's name prominently ranked first.

Wow!

The whole venue erupted in amazement!

Cheng Rushan jumped up entirely, his aged face so excited it seemed about to burst with blood.

"First, Top Scholar, Top Scholar!"

Cheng Rushan's fingers trembled, extremely excited.

His student obtained the Provincial Top Scholar of Jiangbei Province.

For Cheng Rushan, it is a tremendous honor.

"Lao Cheng, congratulations, congratulations!"

"Lao Cheng this time really hit it big; a Provincial Top Scholar is enough to brag about for ten years."

"Not even that—twenty years of bragging would be enough."

"In the past there was Li Xinghe, go"

"There was Jiang Ruo last year, and this year, surprisingly, a Provincial Top Scholar emerged."

"Baiyun No. 1 Middle School is now completely famous."

Lu Qingyu smiled at Jiang Chen and said, "Jiang Chen, you really got the Provincial Top Scholar."

At this moment, Lu Qingyu's eyes, unusually, showed no resentment, and unusually, she didn't try to vie with Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen gave a slight smile, "Thank you."

When the Fifth Round Test began, Jiang Chen already knew the Provincial Top Scholar could be no one but himself.

The result indeed was exactly as expected.

When the scores were announced, a small thrill still rose in his heart.

Lu Qingyu looked at Jiang Chen in amazement, "You actually smiled."

"You look quite good when you smile; why are you never smiling normally?"

She looked as if she had discovered a new continent.

The second-place scores also came out.

2. Lu Qingyu, Points: 7600, Rating: Excellent.

With Jiang Chen ahead, Lu Qingyu's score didn't cause much of a stir.

Lu Qingyu was also rated Excellent.

Cheng Rushan got excited again.

Several principals nearby cast envious glances.

Not only the top scholar was Cheng Rushan's, even the second place was Cheng Rushan's.

That's just so enviable and jealous.

3. Ye Xiuwen, Points: 6700, Rating: Excellent.

4. Han Li, Points: 6325, Rating: Excellent.

5. Li Mingyu, Points: 6300, Rating: Poor.

Li Mingyu's complexion changed drastically; his own rating turned out to be Poor.

With that rating announced, he was completely out of reach of Shenlong University.

Not to mention Shenlong University, none of the top‑20 higher institutions in the Shenlong Empire would take him.

"Why!"

"On what grounds did you give me a Poor rating?"

"This is unfair, you are unfair."

Li Mingyu finally couldn't hold back, angry

and shouted loudly.

His anger warped his face.

Suddenly a beam of light fell on Li Mingyu, and he vanished instantly.

"Li Mingyu violated the exam hall rules, expelled!"

The Roar exam hall directly threw Li Mingyu out of the hall.
