Chapter 18: Level Two Peak Beast: Earth-Armored Dragon

The F6 Secret Realm is somewhat special; this secret realm belongs to the Illusion Secret Realm category.

That is to say, upon entering the secret realm, even if one is killed, it is not a true death; at most, one will consume a portion of their mental energy and be weak for a while.

Such a secret realm is most suitable for practical examinations; this secret realm was used several years ago, and it is being used again this year.

After official modifications, this secret realm is divided into three major areas: the outer perimeter, the inner perimeter, and the core area.

The outer perimeter consists of some wild beasts or Quasi-Monster Beasts, a zone prepared for those Ability Apprentices; the inner perimeter is the activity range for Level 1 Monster Beasts, and the core area is entirely Level Two Beasts.

At the start, everyone is in the outer perimeter area; any student can head to the inner perimeter area and the core area without any restrictions whatsoever.

The examination time is twelve hours; once the time is up, the examination results will terminate.

Of course, if one is killed in the F6 Secret Realm, they will be eliminated early.

Therefore, if one is unlucky, even a Peak Ability User might fail to get into university.

Naturally, most Ability Users will kill some wild beasts or Quasi-Monster Beasts in the outer perimeter to obtain a guaranteed minimum score, and then enter the inner perimeter area.

This way, even if they are unlucky enough to encounter a powerful Level 1 Monster Beast and get eliminated, they can still get into an Ability University.

Upon learning the examination method for the college entrance exam, Ye Tian felt he had a bottom line.

The next day.

Early morning, seven o'clock.

All students arrived at school on time, and then, led by their teachers, headed to the F6 Secret Realm.

When Ye Tian arrived here, he saw a sea of students.

Donghai City has more than just Donghai No. 1 High School; there are also Donghai No. 3 High School, Donghai No. 6 High School, Donghai No. 9 High School, Donghai No. 13 High School, Yaori High School, and a host of other high schools, with each school having hundreds or even thousands of Talented Ability User students.

One can imagine how many Talented Ability User students there are in the entire Donghai City.

However, the F6 Secret Realm is very large; even with ten times as many students, it could accommodate them.

Eight o'clock, once the time arrived.

The F6 Secret Realm opened, and a large number of students flooded into the secret realm.

Ye Tian went in as well.

After entering, Ye Tian discovered there was a small camp at the exit of the secret realm where everyone could collect an Illusion Bracelet; this bracelet can absorb information, and as long as a Beast is killed, it automatically records it.

If two people kill a Beast together, the bracelet can also distribute the points.

Nine o'clock in the morning, everything was ready, and the college entrance exam officially began.

At this moment, everyone went out from the secret realm camp.

In the blink of an eye, so many students gradually disappeared from sight.

……

"The outer perimeter of the secret realm is boring; killing those wild beasts and Quasi-Monster Beasts won't earn many points. I'll go straight to the inner perimeter to kill some Monster Beasts, get the points to guarantee entry into Donghai University, and then enter the core area."

Ye Tian ran for a distance, and seeing no one around, he directly cast Golden Light Technique to head toward the inner perimeter area.

Soon, he seemed to pass through a layer of barrier.

"I've arrived at the inner perimeter area!"

Not long after entering, he encountered a Level 1 early-stage Monster Beast—a Blood Wolf.

This is a very common type of Level 1 Monster Beast, and its strength is not considered powerful.

Seeing Ye Tian, the Blood Wolf pounced directly at him.

Ye Tian pointed casually, casting the Gold Needle Technique.

Pfft!

The Blood Wolf's skull was directly pierced by the Gold Needle Technique, and it died on the spot.

After the Blood Wolf died, it turned directly into mist and dissipated, returning to the heaven and earth of the secret realm.

He looked at his Illusion Bracelet, which displayed a point total—10!

This meant he had obtained 10 points.

Next, he killed one Level 1 Monster Beast after another; even a peak Level 1 Monster Beast was killed instantly in his hands.

Moreover, his Fire Eye Technique could also help him find more Monster Beasts.

In just one hour, his points reached 1000; he knew very well what this represented.

One point represents one mark; last year, the admission cutoff for Donghai University was only 850 points. As long as one obtained 850 points, they could enter Donghai University.

"Even if I get eliminated now, I can still enter Donghai University!"

Ye Tian said with a smile.

If he were willing, he could even help other students easily get into Donghai University.

However, doing so is not a good thing; on the contrary, it is a bad thing.

If one does not have sufficient strength, entering an Ability University like Donghai University is actually a bad thing.

It is just like playing a game; using cheats to get into high-level matches, once the cheats are gone, wouldn't that be courting death!

"Time to go to the core area!"

Ye Tian cast Golden Light Technique and moved forward rapidly, entering the core area before long.

The Beasts in the core area are all Level Two Beasts, with strength comparable to an Intermediate Esper.

Ye Tian wanted to see what level he could reach with his own strength.

Soon, he encountered a Level Two mid-stage Beast, a Gray Bear, with strength roughly comparable to an Intermediate Esper.

"Wood Vine Technique!"

Roots of wood vines directly entangled the clumsy Gray Bear, and then he cast the B-Grade Wood Element Ability—Hell Wood Thorn Technique.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!!

The Gray Bear was directly pierced through and soon died; his points increased by 200, which meant that killing one Level Two mid-stage Beast could earn 200 points.

"To me, a mid-stage Level Two Beast is also very weak; I can kill it with a casual wave of my hand!"

Ye Tian continued to search for Level Two Beasts.

There were not many Level Two Beasts in the core area; after all, Talented Ability Users who could raise their cultivation to the Strange Art Master realm by their third year of high school were very rare, so there was no need to arrange so many Level Two Beasts in the core area.

As time passed, one Level Two Beast after another died at Ye Tian's hands, and his points also kept skyrocketing.

2000 points!

3000 points!

4000 points!

Unknowingly, six hours had passed, and only six hours remained until the end of the college entrance examination.

And at this moment, his points had already reached 8000 points.

"Another Level Two Beast!"

He arrived at the very center of the core area and discovered a peak Level Two Beast—the Earth Armor Dragon!

The Earth Armor Dragon was a peak Level Two Beast with B-Grade bloodline potential; its entire body had extremely powerful defense and terrifying strength, and it also possessed several earth-type Innate Abilities.

"This Earth Armor Dragon should be the most powerful beast in the core area!"

As this Earth Armor Dragon walked over, Ye Tian even felt a trace of pressure.

He was not sure if he could deal with this Earth Armor Dragon, but he had to try.

Swish!

The Earth Armor Dragon suddenly disappeared.

"It's the Earth Escape Technique!"

He remembered that one of the Earth Armor Dragon's Innate Abilities was the Earth Escape Technique.

"Fire Eye Technique!"

Ye Tian activated this Strange Art, locked onto the Earth Armor Dragon's position, and then pointed a finger at it.

"Finger to Steel Technique!"

In an instant.

The soil underground where the Earth Armor Dragon was located turned directly into steel, and the steel kept compressing, wanting to crush the Earth Armor Dragon.

However, the Earth Armor Dragon's strength was too terrifying; it directly broke through the Finger to Steel Technique and rushed out from underground.

Immediately after, layers of thick armor appeared all over the Earth Armor Dragon's body, and it transformed into an Armored Earth Dragon.

This was not a transformation, but the casting of an Innate Ability—the Earth Armor Technique.

Ye Tian also knew the Earth Armor Technique and the Earth Escape Technique, and his realm in these Innate Abilities was even higher than the Earth Armor Dragon's, but the beast's cultivation was better, and it was a whole major realm higher.

"Darkness Spear!"

Ye Tian cast this Dark Element A-Grade Strange Art.

A Darkness Spear condensed and struck toward the Earth Armor Dragon.

However.

The Earth Armor Dragon's cultivation was too high; even the Darkness Spear at the Consummation Realm only shattered one scale on its body, and this minor injury meant nothing to the Earth Armor Dragon.

And the Earth Armor Dragon's attack arrived as well.

Hum!!!!

Densely packed stone spears emerged and killed toward Ye Tian.

This was none other than the B-Grade Innate Ability—Great Stone Spear Technique, capable of condensing hundreds of stone spears to attack an enemy.

The Great Stone Spear Technique was too fast and had a wide range; even if Ye Tian cast the Golden Light Technique, he could not hope to dodge it.

Consequently.

He directly cast the A-Grade Dark Element Strange Art—Darkness Curtain.
