Chapter 63: Steady First Place

Zhou Jin cried out involuntarily, and his voice spread throughout the hall. This result really didn’t make sense!
However, it wasn’t just him. The few invigilators around him had the same thoughts. Some even suspected that there was a system error.
However, this was impossible. The national exam involved the future of the entire Long Xia Country. Such a low-level mistake wouldn’t appear in the exam.
Moreover, they had also pulled up Zhang Xuan’s real-time battle scene and seen with their own eyes the scene of the skeleton summon instantly killing the Tyrant Ox Demon!
Zhang Xuan naturally heard this shout, but after seeing the other partys results, he understood.
After all, the time difference between the two monsters was almost 200 times. No one would be able to remain calm.
“Otherwise, I’ll bet on the clearing time later.”
Although Zhang Xuan didn’t intend to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger, he still didn’t want to crush the confidence of these students.
With Zhou Jin’s completion, Jiang Lingyue and the others came out through the teleportation portal not long after.
Jiang Lingyue took 3 minutes and 55 seconds to rank fourth.
On the other hand, Liu Tangshan, this kid, had actually tyrannically obtained third place on the scoreboard. A martial master’s single-target damage was ultimately higher than Jiang Lingyue’s.
Therefore, his final time was 3 minutes and 27 seconds!
The subsequent rankings basically didn’t change much, but some advanced professions gradually left the top of the rankings.
The strengths of Rare-class professions in killing monsters were gradually highlighted. None of the class advancement players in the top 30 were lower than Rare-class!
“Hmph, this is only the third round. In the fourth round, I want you to see what a true Rare-class is!”
Chen Sen took five minutes to finally kill the Tyrant Ox Demon. His final ranking was 27th.
When he came out and saw so many class advancement players around him, he already knew that it was impossible for him to enter the top ten.
However, when he accidentally saw the rankings, his heart still skipped a beat.
That very dazzling one second made him feel extremely humiliated. What right did a support class have?!
Chen Sen gritted his teeth and locked his fierce gaze on Zhang Xuan, who wasn’t far away.
“Zhang Xuan, good lad!”
Soon, the 200th student to clear the level appeared. The students who were still working hard in the alternate space suddenly realized that the monster with low health had disappeared.
At that moment, many students cried uncontrollably because this meant that they had lost the right to continue forward.
At this moment, the 200 students in the hall were all in position. Some of the students who were more seriously injured had also recovered under the treatment of the priest invigilator.
However, the very conspicuous one-second clearing time on the big screen still surprised many people.
“Oh my god, what kind of monsters are they this year?
“Are you sure this is a support profession? He cleared the level in one second and killed the monster with 100,000 HP?!”
“Ridiculous, too ridiculous. This year is really filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons!
However, comparatively speaking, Liu Tangshan and Jiang Lingyue were very calm because they were already used to Zhang Xuan insta-killing the Goblin
King.
When the two of them saw this monster with 100,000 HP, they had already determined that Zhang Xuan would still take first place.
“The third round is over!”
The old and serious voice sounded again. At this moment, the number of points awarded appeared on the big screen.
The first place had 2,000 points!
The second to third place had 1,500 points!
The fourth to tenth place had 800 points!
The points reward went on and on. As first place, Zhang Xuan obtained 2,000 points!
There were some changes in the rankings at the back. For example, Liu Tangshan directly came to the third place, and Jiang Lingyue was squeezed to fourth place.
However, the first place was still Zhang Xuan!
In the monitoring room on the other side, a few invigilators stood respectfully at the side. Mu Qinglang sat on the sofa, and beside him were four old men with deep auras.
These four people were the four deans of the Four Sages Academy. Usually, it was impossible to see them appear in the same place at the same time! “This young man isn’t bad. No wonder you called us over in a hurry.”
“I don’t mind adding some difficulty. To be honest, we can’t measure the potential of the hidden profession except for the actual combat test.”
“That’s right. For example, that girl, Zhang Anya, last year. She seems to be this kid’s sister and is a Whisperer. That’s a very powerful profession, but even that girl has never crushed a monster so quickly.”
“I don’t care what you do, but according to the rules, this years national top scorer should belong to White Tiger Academy. Don’t go back on your word!
After the old man sitting on the left said this, the remaining three old men immediately lost their composure.
“You can’t say that. Didn’t I give you a few students last year? It’s time for you to repay them this year!’
“I think you can suffer this year. How about I give you the qualifications next year and the year after!”
“Why don’t you all die!”
The invigilators were shocked to see the four deans arguing with each other. This was because they had never seen this scene before. Usually, these deans were high and mighty existences!
Mu Qinglang looked at these old fellows who were arguing now and immediately said helplessly, “This assessment isn’t over yet, and you’re already in a hurry to snatch him. Don’t forget that he’s a support.”
When they heard this, the deans were usually much quieter. Support professions were indeed a problem. Although Zhang Xuan looked very strong in the early stages, in the later stages…
“The fourth round of the assessment has begun. Next, the rules of the assessment will be announced!”
In the hall, as the announcement sounded, a huge vortex with a diameter of five meters appeared in front of all the students.
All the students listened quietly to the voice on the radio. A few minutes later, they figured out the rules of the fourth round.
Every student could choose a normal, intermediate, advanced, difficult, or hell-level dungeon to enter the trial.
It was similar to the rules of the first round, but a large number of points could be obtained in this round. Moreover, the higher the difficulty, the higher the number of points obtained.
Because Zhang Xuan was first, he had the right to make the first choice. Then,
Zhang Xuan walked forward under everyone’s gaze.
It was only at this moment that the other students truly saw the true appearance of the first place.
“So he’s Zhang Xuan. He’s a little handsome.”
“This big brother seems to be aiming for the top scorer in the country. He was fine in the first few rounds. I reckon it won’t be very troublesome to deal with him later.”
“He should choose the hell-level difficulty, right? Anyway, I don’t plan to compete with him. It’s fine as long as I can get into the top 50!”
Zhang Xuan could clearly feel that many people were looking at him with fanaticism, and there seemed to be a hint of hostility.
However, this didn’t matter. As long as he stabilized the fourth round, he could steadily enter the Four Sages Academy..
