Chapter 216

"Zhou Yi?! So it was him!"

The lean boy subconsciously looked up and indeed saw Zhou Yi's name on the screen for the solo clear record of the Goblin dungeon's Abyss difficulty.

And he had long heard of this name.

The other party not only refreshed the Abyss-grade clear record for the Goblin dungeon.

But in the following month or so, he had compressed the clear time to 7 minutes and 12 seconds.

This made others who wanted to refresh the record feel incredibly desperate...

On the other side.

Time reached nine o'clock, and Wu Mang appeared on time.

Zhou Yi and the others immediately entered the Abyss-grade Goblin dungeon.

Crushing their way through, they soon reached the BOSS stage.

"Suppression Talisman!!"

After a few minutes of intense combat, inside the dungeon, Song Xialan, who had the Spirit Daoist profession, wrote in the air with her onion-like fingers.

Soon, a crimson talisman was born out of thin air under her hand.

It then suppressed the Goblin King in the middle of the fountain plaza!

"Roar!!"

The Goblin King itself was already covered in various wounds.

The sudden suppression talisman caused its strength to plummet, and it instantly let out a roar of rage.

But as it was already at the end of its rope, even its roar seemed so powerless...

"Rising Dragon Sword!!"

Just then, Jiang Chu's slender, graceful figure swept past the Goblin King's body like a gust of wind.

Whoosh—

A pitch-black sword light flashed.

The Goblin King, whose strength had plummeted under the suppression talisman, couldn't react in time to defend, and its head was sent flying.

Pfft—

Blood surged out from its neck like a fountain, spraying three or four meters high!!

Just like that, this Abyss-grade Goblin King fell at the feet of Zhou Yi and his group once again.

"8 minutes and 56 seconds! We've improved again! The clear time has broken into eight minutes!"

Jiang Chu's eyes lit up as she received the dungeon clear notification.

Before this, their best record had only been 9 minutes and 36 seconds.

"Hehe, a few days ago I leveled up my Taunt skill by one level.

So for the first few waves of Goblins, my monster-gathering effect was much better."

Cai Hua, the warrior carrying the giant shield, ran up, asking for credit.

"Humph, if it weren't for my Fireball spell, what would it matter even if you taunted? There would be no one to deal damage!"

Liu Yang, holding his staff, walked up at this time.

"Who says there wouldn't? If Brother Yi used a Holy Storm, wouldn't the effect be much better than your Fireball?"

Cai Hua said disdainfully.

"Ahem, I can't compare to Brother Yi!"

Liu Yang coughed dryly, but didn't refute.

After all, Zhou Yi's spell skills were indeed much stronger than his...

"Alright, stop messing around, prepare to return."

Zhou Yi, who had put away his equipment, walked over with a smile.

After more than a month of grinding, the atmosphere of the entire team was much better.

Such banter and bickering had gradually become the norm for the team.

Seeing that the captain had spoken, Cai Hua and Liu Yang immediately shut their mouths.

They each took out a return scroll and began to chant.

"Not bad, the clear time has broken into eight minutes!"

"Even I can't find fault with your performance this time!"

In the first-floor lobby, Wu Mang stood in front of everyone, his expression very satisfied.

Of course, if one had to find flaws, some could still be found.

But in just over a month, for a team that originally had no coordination to reach this level was already very good.

To go further would require spending a large amount of time to grind it out...

"A full 52 days, a total of 14 training sessions, your performance makes me very satisfied!"

Wu Mang didn't hold back his praise at all.

He paused, then added:

"This afternoon, the preliminary selection for the National College Freshman Exchange Tournament will end, and the final seven universities will be revealed."

"Once the seven universities appear, the final grand finals, including our three top universities, will follow."

"I have already received the notice; the final grand finals are scheduled for November 1st! The location is Qingjing University."

"Although the grand finals are on November 1st, we need to go there early to report and familiarize ourselves with the environment."

"Therefore, in four days, on October 25th, we will set off for Qingjing University!"

As his voice fell, after a brief silence, the group erupted in surprise:

"Great! The grand finals are finally starting!"

"We've trained so hard for so long, this is the moment we've been waiting for!"

"Qingjing University, I haven't been there yet, I wonder what it's like."

"..."

Whether excited or expectant, everyone had different emotions on their faces.

"The grand finals are about to start..."

Zhou Yi felt a little excited as well.

He was very much looking forward to the final grand finals that gathered the strongest freshmen from all universities in the country!!

Soon, the date arrived at October 25th.

On this day, Dean Wu Mang served as the team leader.

Along with several ordinary instructors from the War Academy, Element Academy, and Weaponry Academy.

The group stepped onto the teleportation magic array heading to Qingjing University...

Unlike Suhang University, the teleportation magic array of Qingjing University was located inside the school.

To ensure school safety, this teleportation point at Qingjing University could not be accessed through the public teleportation points in the Ning'an University Town teleportation plaza.

It required using the school's dedicated teleportation point.

And this teleportation point was located in the Teaching Building in the center of the school, a considerable distance from the Zone 1 dormitories.

Thus, October 25th, 8: 0 AM.

The top ten freshmen, including Zhou Yi, gathered early and, under Wu Mang's leadership, walked toward the dedicated teleportation point in the Teaching Building.
