“It’s only been less than 10 minutes. How are we going to survive later?”
Liu Tangshan looked warily at the strange scorpion that had been lured away. Jiang Lingyue had already used this skill once before, but the cooldown interval for this skill was a full two minutes.
“I’m not sure either, but other than confusing it with my elemental spirit, there’s no other way to stall for time.”
“Alright, I’ll be in the front line during the skill cooldown. You’ll be in charge of restraining them at the side!”
After Liu Tangshan finished speaking, he went forward.
More than 20 minutes passed.
After so long, Zhang Xuan realized that no other students had appeared in the hall other than him.
However, at this moment, several invigilators walked over from not far away. The invigilators’ surprised gazes all landed on them.
“Uh… are they all so slow?
Initially, Zhang Xuan thought that the other students could also find a way to leave, but now it seemed that he had overestimated them.
At this moment, a few pillars of light gradually flickered around him. Then, the number of pillars of light increased, and all the students who could last for 30 minutes were sent back.
There were more than a thousand people in the entire hall, but every one of them was panting from exhaustion. Many of them were even seriously injured, but they still insisted on not withdrawing.
“I’ve finally survived. I thought I was going to die!”
“The second assessment is so abnormal. It’s really difficult to imagine how difficult the rest is!”
“However, he passed the test in the end. I hope he can be more humane later.”
The students discussed one after another. Zhang Xuan also found Liu Tangshan and Jiang Lingyue, who were quite tired, in the crowd.
Seeing that the two of them were fine, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
“The second round of assessment has ended. 1,058 qualified students are about to undergo the third round of assessment!”
An old and serious voice echoed in the entire hall. All the students supported their tired bodies and stood up. At this moment, four clouds floated up from the four corners of the hall. The clouds gathered together and invisible raindrops fell.
Zhang Xuan didn’t feel anything, but the injuries on the other students began to heal at a visible speed, and the stamina they consumed was also recovering quickly.
At this moment, the national ranking was displayed on the big screen.
[First place: Zhang Xuan, Level 17 Advanced Necromancer. Only hidden profession. Points: 4,644]
[Second place: Zhou Jin, Level 17 Mechanical Soldier, Rare Class, Points: 3,055] [Third place: Situ Yue, Level 16 Beast Tamer, Rare Class, Points: 3,048] [4th place: Jiang Lingyue, Level 16 Elementalist, Rare Class, Points: 3,042]
Other than Zhang Xuan, who was in first place, whose points increased from 3,644 to 4,644, the points of the other students increased by 50.
However, it could also be seen that after the rankings were upgraded to the national level, even Jiang Lingyue found it difficult to maintain her position in the top three.
Because Liu Tangshan had suffered a loss in level, his ranking was forced to be pushed to 15th place. However, the points of the top 20 rare professions were all tightly clenched. At the moment, there wasn’t much difference.
“No way, why is the first place so ridiculous? It’s a full 1,000 points higher than the second place?
“How did he do it?”
“This person’s name looks a little familiar. I remember that he seemed to have developed a way to clear the dungeon and even obtained an official reward! ‘ I
“Although, isn’t it a little too ridiculous for a support class to have so many points higher than a main battle class?”
On the left side of the hall, a tall boy looked at the scoreboard in surprise. He could see many mechanical structures on him, and he was Zhou Jin, who was currently ranked second.
“The points for the first place are actually so high?”
Seeing this unfamiliar new profession, Zhou Jin inexplicably felt a trace of dissatisfaction. One had to know that he was a main battle profession, and he was the mechanical soldier with the most unreasonable firepower.
Even the dean of Zhou Jin’s academy said that he could definitely get first place in such a simple test.
But now, a support-type class actually surpassed him. This made him have countless doubts for a moment!
Not far to Zhou Jin’s left was Chen Sen, who had a gloomy expression. “How is this possible?! I didn’t even enter the top 30?”
Chen Sen couldn’t believe that a Rare-class like him would have such a low ranking. They were both Rare classes, but he was actually so much lower than others!
Looking at the rankings, Chen Sen’s emotions were getting more and more out of control.
“Wait for me to surpass you in the next few rounds of exams!”
A moment later, he suppressed his emotions that were like an active volcano and revealed a sick smile.
“Zhang Xuan is indeed first place, but the competition for the scoreboard is so intense. I have to work hard next.”
“That’s right. I can’t fall out of the top 50. Otherwise, it’ll be too embarrassing.”
Seeing the scoreboard, Jiang Lingyue and Liu Tangshan weren’t surprised by Zhang Xuan’s ranking. They also knew very well what kind of test they were going to face next.
A moment later, all the students recovered under the effects of the priest’s healing. At this moment, the old voice sounded again.
“The rules of the third round of assessment will be that all students will challenge the monsters together. The assessment criteria will be the time taken to kill the monsters and the deducted health. The top 200 will enter the fourth round of assessment!”
As the rules of the third round of assessment were announced, all the students became serious. The rules of this round looked simple, but they had an 80% elimination rate!
In other words, the third round of assessment would determine the life and death of most of the people present.
However, even the students at the bottom of the rankings were prepared to risk their lives at this moment. Which one of them wasn’t a prodigy from their respective provinces? They were unwilling to be behind!
At this moment, a portal that could accommodate one person appeared in front of each student. The third round officially began!
Seeing the spatial portal form in front of him, Zhang Xuan was the first to enter. The other students also quickly entered their respective spatial portals at the same time.
The moment Zhang Xuan passed through the teleportation door, the teleportation channel behind him was completely sealed.
“ROAR!
A fishy smell assaulted his face as a three-meter-tall bull-headed monster appeared in front of Zhang Xuan. [Tyrant Ox Demon (Level 20)]
[Health: 100,000]
[Strength: 1600]
[Defense: 480]
[Agility: 340]
[Skills: Earthquake Violent Strike, Bull i s Charge]
Looking at the monster that had already rushed over, Zhang Xuan was actually a little disdainful of such a monster.
This was because other than his slightly higher HP, his other values were inferior to the Goblin General in the Goblin King novice dungeon.
Zhang Xuan didn’t waste any time and ordered, “Kill it.”
Crash!
With the crisp sound of armor colliding, dozens of silver-armored Skeleton Warriors appeared around the Tyrant Ox Demon!
