Chapter 20

~6 min read 1,189 words

Apart from the three combat-class professions, the remaining students in the team who had transferred to life-class professions served as jack-of-all-trades.

If they lacked damage output, they'd fill in as damage dealers; if they lacked tankiness, they'd fill the tank role...

Of course, although they were life-class professions,

that didn't mean they had no means of dealing damage at all.

After all, it had only been a little over a month since the job transfer.

For most people, their main means of dealing damage still relied on the basic skills from before the job transfer.

And whether combat or life profession, the casting of basic skills wouldn't be affected.

On the field, the sounds of team invitations never ceased, but Zhou Yi, who had long prepared, chose to enter the dungeon alone.

When his mind connected with the Qingtongda Sect, in less than a few seconds, his entire figure had already vanished from the spot.

The college entrance examination officially begins!

"Zhou Yi, he..."

Homeroom teacher Li Xiangyang noticed Zhou Yi's action and couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.

The college entrance examination dungeon score is related to the number of people.

For the same cleared dungeon, the number of people entering differs, and the final result will also differ.

When multiple people enter, each person's experience gets shared, and the score distributed to each person will correspondingly decrease.

Even the fixed rewards inside the dungeon might need to be split among several people.

If one person clears the dungeon alone and chooses a higher difficulty, naturally the score is high, the result is good, and one can also enjoy the BOSS rewards alone.

Correspondingly, going into a dungeon solo means no teammates to look after each other, and the risk of death is very high.

After all, this isn't a real game—once you die inside, it's a true, complete demise.

"Zhou Yi's goal is the three top-tier universities, so going into the dungeon alone is normal."

Li Xiangyang could only comfort himself like this in his heart.

In truth, regarding Zhou Yi's upcoming performance in the dungeon, he really didn't have much confidence.

Now he could only hope that Zhou Yi doing this meant he had some trump card up his sleeve...

On the field, the old teams finished assembling and quickly entered the dungeon.

And students who had absolute confidence in their own strength also entered the dungeon alone.

In less than a minute, all the examinees on the field had entered the dungeon.

The next moment.

The official proctor standing before the Qingtongda Sect waved his hand grandly, and a holographic screen instantly appeared above the gate.

All the student information and statuses of Gao San appeared on the screen without exception.

The shape of Gao San's field was similar to an open-air stadium, with spectator seats around it.

At this time, apart from the homeroom teachers on the field,

the principal, as well as Gao Yi and Gao Er students, sat in the spectator seats watching the battle.

【Class 1, Sun Qiang, Profession: Warrior, Challenge Difficulty: Hard, Team Size: 1】

【Class 1, Zeng Li, Profession: Knight, Challenge Difficulty: Hard, Team Size: 1】

【Class 2, Yang Rui, Profession: Summoner, Challenge Difficulty: Hard, Team Size: 1】

Among the 13 Gao San classes, Class 1 and Class 2, as the rocket classes, naturally received a lot of attention.

"Truly worthy of the rocket classes—apart from having two teams formed, basically every single person chose to solo the dungeon!"

"Right, where is that Zhou Yi? Isn't he supposed to be challenging the three top-tier universities?"

Apart from the rocket class members, Zhou Yi, who had transferred to Holy Knight and rejected the TOP universities, also received a lot of attention.

Quite a few people were searching the screen for Zhou Yi's information.

【Class 5, Zhou Yi, Profession: Holy Knight, Challenge Difficulty: Nightmare, Team Size: 1】

The moment Zhou Yi's information was found, waves of clamor and controversy erupted from the entire spectator stand.

"Nightmare difficulty!"

"Oh my god, he's crazy—how dare he choose Nightmare difficulty?!"

"What's his play here? Holy Knights have super strong support abilities—why is he choosing to enter the dungeon solo?!"

In an instant, everyone's attention fell on 'Zhou Yi' from Class 5.

Nightmare difficulty could only be said to be one-of-a-kind, far too eye-catching.

"Principal Luo, what's going on with Zhou Yi? Why did he enter the dungeon alone? And he chose Nightmare difficulty?"

In the spectator stands, Jia Tao, the Education Bureau director beside Principal Luo Heng, immediately darkened his expression.

After transferring to Holy Knight, the city had given Zhou Yi quite a lot of resources.

All for the sake of letting him achieve a good result in the college entrance examination.

Indeed, the score obtained from soloing a dungeon is much higher than that from team play.

But that also depends on what profession it is.

Like the Priest profession, the Holy Knight profession is also support-oriented.

Only by teaming up can the Holy Knight's maximum effect be brought out!

Going into a dungeon solo is no different than cutting off one's own arms.

Moreover, Nightmare-level dungeons are extremely dangerous.

If the much-watched Zhou Yi dies inside the dungeon, the reputation of the entire Lijiang city government will suffer a massive blow!

Facing the director of the Education Bureau's interrogation, Principal Luo Heng let out a bitter laugh and dared not reply.

When he chose to forgo special admission and strive for the three top universities.

He had anticipated that Zhou Yi would enter the dungeon alone.

But what he hadn't expected was that Zhou Yi hadn't chosen Hard difficulty—he'd chosen Nightmare difficulty!

Nightmare difficulty...

That was a terrifying difficulty with an average death rate of 40%.

At this moment, Luo Heng felt some regret.

If he'd known, he shouldn't have let Zhou Yi make his own decision.

This time, he'd been careless...

Yet, alongside his regret, Luo Heng felt a flicker of curiosity.

Zhou Yi wasn't the type to be overconfident—what had given him the courage to enter a Nightmare-level dungeon alone?

A momentary mental lapse, and when he snapped back to awareness.

Zhou Yi was already inside a forest.

The atmosphere within the forest was deeply eerie.

The sky was blocked by towering trees, plunging the entire forest into dim, gloomy darkness.

Added to that were the bleached bones scattered everywhere and half-eaten carcasses of wild beasts.

A wave of bloody aura surged instantly toward him.

If an ordinary person suddenly faced this scene, they would likely be terrified into shock.

"This is the heart of the Nightmare-level Darkwood Forest."

Zhou Yi's gaze sharpened, and he also sensed a new object appearing in his personal inventory.

It was a scroll, entirely deep blue-black in color.

Having received training on the Gaokao dungeon system, he naturally knew this was a Return Scroll.

And it was the most vital survival item in this dungeon!
