Chapter 55: For the sake of fairness, we can only set up an extra test for him!

【You have completed the County Exam Abyss Difficulty instance assessment, overall score: 10000】

【Detected title bonus points: 17300】

【Candidate: Lu Zheng; County Exam total score: 27300】

Lu Zheng flashed out of the instance, leaving the crowd waiting outside stunned.

The outspoken Wang Jun blurted out, "Boss, how are you so fast again! You finished in just two minutes? Isn't the County Exam supposed to have three full assessments!?"

Lu Zheng gave him another kick.

At that moment, the large scoreboard also displayed Lu Zheng's final score of 27,300.

Upon seeing this score, Yang Dong let out a scream.

"27,300! Amazing, another perfect score! Boss, I think the national first place is yours too!"

Lu Zheng gave no reply, looked at Jun Yin and smiled, "It's your turn for assessment."

While the atmosphere on his side was breezy, the Imperial Capital Education Department was ablaze with heated discussion over an assessment video of Jun Yin that had been uploaded here from the heavens.

Deputy Director Xiao Nai spoke:

"Everyone has seen Lu Zheng's data: only a hundred days since awakening, Summoner profession, second job change completed at level 100, and from the two titles earned, he killed a weakened Dark Demon Dragon and slashed a Saint-level Fire God projection.

Comprehensive analysis shows he possesses at least one legendary divine pet, possibly having awakened a legendary hidden talent; so far his combat power has reached the Saint level.

From this instance assessment footage, even without a summoned beast, he himself is not weaker than a fifth job change practitioner.

Now, regarding the upcoming Alliance Exam instance strength upgrade, everyone share their opinions!"

Xue Mingzhen, one of the Imperial Capital's top ten Saint-level Guardians, spoke first: "The Alliance Exam imposes no equipment restrictions; once this kid's power receives equipment boosts, his destructive force could double. With the current instance strength, it's indeed dangerous. If we must use the present instance assessment, we need to strengthen the instance; we cannot limit his performance, that would be unfair."

National Professionals' College Entrance Exam chief Lin Shuhua continued:

"Strengthening the instance is unrealistic; increasing instance difficulty for a single person wastes resources and takes too much time, possibly delaying the Alliance Exam start and harming assessment credibility.

However, Elder Xue's point is valid—cannot impede others' performance—so I propose an extra assessment: using a real instance to give an additional test to the top twenty before the Alliance Exam.

This saves resources, ensures fairness, and also weakens the Abyss and Demon Realm's forces!"

Deputy Director Xiao Nai touched his bald head and laughed:

"Fine, let's do it! Xiao Lin, this matter is yours to handle. I have one request: the extra test must fully probe Lu Zheng's depth and breadth. I want to see just how powerful this generation's juniors have become!"

All College Entrance Exam instances are controllable, monitorable self-built instances, but such instances quickly reach their limits and consume a lot of resources to maintain.

Real instances mean uncontrolled danger, such as mutated BOSS scenarios; for the strong, only these real instances let them truly showcase their power.

Lu Zheng still didn't know he had become famous within the Imperial Capital Education Department, and as the news spread, the whole Imperial Capital was buzzing about a remarkable graduate from Tianyang County who, only a hundred days after awakening, possessed Saint-level combat power. Most people scoffed, thinking it was an ever‑exaggerated rumor.

A senior high graduate with Saint-level power—what a joke!?

Students who reach above level 60 in the second job change are already extremely rare; Saint-level means sixth job change above level 300, a gap as vast as a heavenly chasm.

No normal person would believe such a rumor!

However, Saint-level power might be fake, but the County Exam scores uploaded to the national professionals' candidate system cannot be forged, nor can the bonus points from three purple‑gold titles and one black‑gold title.

Not to mention, rising to level 100 in a hundred days alone silences everyone.

In this world of professionals, leveling is extremely hard; Saint-level elites are at least thirty‑five years old. The youngest recorded professional to reach level 300 is Nan Gong Wuhen, who was thirty‑six then, an epic‑level practitioner.

The vast majority of Saint-level elites are in their fifties or sixties.

Ordinary professionals, relying on personal strength, completing the first job change before twenty‑five is considered fairly excellent—like Yang Dong's parents, who, though combat professionals, are merely ordinary, reaching about level 40 at age forty.

For most ordinary people, after completing the first job change, there's little prospect left; the second job change is out of reach.

Of course, for elite or rare professionals—geniuses—the leveling speed is naturally faster, but completing the first job change before the College Entrance Exam and earning a gold badge is already very outstanding.

In just a hundred days, Lu Zheng not only completed the second job change but also raised his level directly to 100—somewhat terrifying.

Gaining one level per day means three hundred sixty‑five levels in a year, instantly becoming a Saint-level professional! Yet they don't know that these hundred levels were Lu Zheng's deliberate suppression, fearing the third job change task would kill him.

Once he completes the job change, he'll instantly rise above level 120!

Now possessing a thousand summoning slots, Lu Zheng, even during the current exam period, still released more than half of his summoned beasts into the outside instance to continuously earn experience for him.

The College Entrance Exam process doesn't hinder his experience accumulation; once his strength suffices, completing the third job change will let him break through to a very high tier in one go.

This is one of the Summoner profession's unique advantages: being able to train summoned beasts before promotion, boosting confidence and certainty in completing the job change.

The previous two job changes were rushed for various reasons; during the first change, without changing jobs he couldn't enter instances above level 30, which severely slowed his leveling, so he hurried to change at level 30; the second change required quickly obtaining rewards from the Summoner timed instance 'Ancient Summoning', forcing an early job change.

But now the third job change has no pressing need, and after the two five‑star Infernal‑level Job Change Quests gave Lu Zheng a lot of hardship, he resolved to first amass enough power before undertaking the third change.

The summoned beasts keep leveling, but the most important thing isn't the experience they grant—being low‑level, they give little—rather, the attribute point gains from each beast's upgrade are what Lu Zheng values most.

Because of this effect, he possesses at a mere 100 levels a base attribute comparable to a sixth job change Saint-level professional! The second to complete the Abyss Difficulty assessment was Jun Yin; unlike Lu Zheng who finished the three assessments in two minutes, he spent nearly an hour, scoring 9450 points in the instance assessment, 4500 bonus points, for a total of 13,950.

Even in the Abyss Difficulty instance, a 60‑level epic professional like Jun Yin could not achieve a perfect score.

This further highlights the value of Lu Zheng's 27,300 points! Thank you for the support! Please upvote! Please follow!
