Chapter 49

As Zhou Yi charged forward, it was naturally impossible for the Minotaur King to track his movements!!

"Roar!!"

In that instant, the Minotaur King, realizing it had been toyed with, became incredibly furious and agitated.

A surging wave of force rippled out as the red energy surrounding its body grew increasingly intense; as if affected by it, the entire palace began to shake slightly.

Its aura also climbed steadily.

"The BOSS is about to use its ultimate move!!"

Zhou Yi naturally would not allow the Minotaur King to unleash its ultimate skill.

"Sky-Shattering Strike!"

He swung the giant battle-axe, which was blooming with dazzling golden radiance.

Bang!!

The Minotaur King, over three meters tall, was sent directly into a floating state, and the activation of its ultimate move was interrupted.

Zhou Yi naturally would not let this good opportunity slip by and immediately pursued.

"Pure White Blade!"

The cross-shaped light blade slashed ruthlessly at the Minotaur King, dealing light-attribute magic damage while also forcing it into a paralyzed state where it could not move!!

Zhou Yi immediately swung his giant weapon and began a frenzied attack!!

The massive weight of the battle-axe was, at this moment, wielded by Zhou Yi as if it were a toy.

Puchi!

Puchi!

Puchi!

With a holy cross blooming with light behind him, Zhou Yi, enveloped in various sacred auras, looked like a deity at this moment.

Every slash left a deep wound on the thick-skinned and tough-fleshed Minotaur King.

Strike while the iron is hot!!

In the short 0.7 seconds of the paralyzed state, Zhou Yi actually managed to land five axe strikes!!

Just as the Minotaur King's paralyzed state was about to end.

Zhou Yi’s gaze narrowed slightly, he increased the strength in his hands, and the battle-axe slashed out like a dragon!!

In that instant, the Minotaur King's paralyzed state finally ended.

But already in a heavily wounded state, it could only barely raise its battle-axe, using the wide blade to protect its vital points!

Boom!!

The heavily wounded Minotaur King met the most devastating blow, as this heavy axe strike slammed into the blade atop the Minotaur's head.

Under the impact of this immense force, this pitiful BOSS was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

Rumble~~~

It only stopped after crashing through several stone pillars, plowing a deep trench into the ground, and hitting the palace wall.

"Spear of Victory!! Die for me!!"

Looking at the Minotaur King, which was sprawled on the ground with its defenses wide open, Zhou Yi gripped the air, and the Spear of Victory materialized.

Then, aiming at the Minotaur King's heart, he threw it with force!!

"Roar..."

The Minotaur King, its body suffering heavy trauma, let out a painful low roar.

There were at least five deep axe wounds on its body that reached the bone; even with its robust physique, it could not recover.

It could feel its stamina draining away rapidly.

Watching the glowing spear grow larger in its pupils, it wanted to raise its battle-axe.

But no matter how hard it tried, its body seemed to refuse to obey, unable to move.

Puchi—

The Spear of Victory pierced into the Minotaur King's chest with ease, pinning it to the wall.

"Heh... heh..."

An ordinary monster, having suffered such a heavy blow, would likely have been dead long ago.

But the Minotaur King was actually still lingering on at this moment!!

However, the red protective energy that had shrouded its entire body dissipated as it lost its supply of magic power.

Boom!!!

Having lost the protection of the red energy, the golden flames produced by the holy cross quickly engulfed it.

Amidst a blaze of light, the Minotaur King met its end!!

"Phew, finally killed the BOSS."

Zhou Yi let out a long breath.

To quickly finish off the BOSS, he could say he had pushed everything to the limit!!

Not only did he apply all his buff spells.

Even his attack methods and the timing of his skill releases were the result of his rapid thinking and choices.

Using a large number of skills in a short time.

This also resulted in his internal magic power being almost completely exhausted, leaving only enough for a few minor skills.

At this moment...

A sound suddenly reached his ears.

Ding!

[Congratulations to Lijiang No. 2 High School candidate Zhou Yi for successfully clearing the Deep Forest of Darkness dungeon.]

[Your difficulty level is: Nightmare]

[Your clear time is: 9 minutes and 24 seconds]

[Your college entrance exam score has been successfully recorded.]

[Please claim your dungeon clear rewards.]

[Given your clear difficulty and time, your evaluation is SSS-rank. Congratulations on being confirmed as the first person to set a clear record for this dungeon.]

[Now, beginning to distribute clear rewards...]

"First person to set a clear record for the dungeon?"

Listening to the series of prompts echoing in his ears, Zhou Yi keenly grasped the key point.

The person who set the questions for the entire Suhang Province was Mr. Yang.

That is to say, the exam question for all college entrance exam candidates was the Deep Forest of Darkness dungeon!!

At this moment, the voice prompt stated he was the first person to set a clear record for the dungeon.

Doesn't that mean he is already the top scorer for this year's Suhang Province college entrance exam?

Of course, Zhou Yi also understood.

The final ranking would only be released after the college entrance exam ended and the province finished tallying all students' scores.

"Provincial top scorer, I did it!!"

Zhou Yi couldn't help but punch the air with force.

Only those who have walked in the darkness know how precious the light is.

In the year since he transmigrated.

His mother passed away from illness, and his sister was critically ill.

He not only needed to repay the debts left by his parents but also had to cover his sister Zhou Yun's medical expenses.

All of this pressed down on him until he could barely breathe.

Under the heavy burden.

Every day after school, he had to work three part-time jobs.

If it hadn't been for meeting Mr. Li later, who hired him as a tutor, his life might have been even more miserable.

But even so.

After paying the monthly medical bills, he still only had seven or eight hundred for living expenses, and his body suffered from severe malnutrition.
