One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 53: The Final Round of the Provincial Civil Service Exam! Incredibly Difficult!

boom!
Li Zerui looked at the name on the leaderboard.

He missed again.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Amidst the billowing smoke, he ceased fire.

His heavy breathing and the constant dripping of sweat indicated that he was approaching his limit.

This was a 30-minute high-intensity continuous combat operation.

He really couldn't hold on any longer.

But what truly broke him was that name.

Lin Yi...

For a long time to come, this name may well be the inner demon he carries...!
Time's up!!

[Third round of testing complete!]

The half-hour test has officially ended.

The third round has come to an end.

The score in this round is twice as high as the previous two rounds.

Because in most dungeons, extremely long endurance is a testament to a DPS class's superior skills.

The leaderboard has been updated again.

The total points from all three rounds are added together.

This has once again led to a major reshuffling of positions in the standings.

This means that most professionals must have strengths and weaknesses.

There is definitely a trade-off between burst damage and endurance.

This demonstrates the incredible power of legendary professions.

Li Zerui and Qi Xiaying are the other two people besides Lin Yi who have also secured their positions in the top two or three.

In the examination center, at the head of the table.

Li Yuanjing unconsciously straightened his back.

Out of the corner of his eye, he kept glancing at the surveillance cameras all over the hall.

Because at this moment, their surveillance footage has already been shared with the capital city via the communication crystal.

Countless eyes, high and mighty, are now watching them.

Of course, Li Yuanjing knew that this time the main character would be Lin Yi, and he was just an accessory.

However, knowing the difficulty of the fourth round, he still kept cheering for Lin Yi in his heart.

Keep it up, kid!

If you get through this round, you'll be number one in the province and qualify for the fifth round!

The exam notice Lin Yi had received previously only stated that those who passed the first four rounds and performed exceptionally well were eligible to participate in the fifth round, but it did not provide any further details.

In fact, passing the first four rounds means the competition within the province has come to an end.

The provincial rankings have been determined.

Those who qualify for the fifth round will compete nationwide!
After the fifth round, the total score from the first four rounds is added to determine the national ranking of this year's college entrance examination!
Attention all candidates!

[The fourth round of testing will begin in 30 seconds!]

[The rules for this round of examinations will now be read!]

A notification sounded in the minds of all the candidates who had chosen the Hell difficulty level!
Li Zerui, Qi Xiaying, and the others all changed color!

Keep in mind, the third round has only just ended!

They were all nearly exhausted!
The mental and physical exertion is enormous!

For professionals like Lan Ruoyi and Qi Xiaying who need mana to unleash skills, this was an even more devastating blow!
Because they are almost all out of mana right now!
Without the aid of alchemical elixirs or potions, it would take at least ten minutes to return to full mana!

But now there's no break between the third and fourth rounds!!
"That's too cruel..."

"Even I, someone who's been through it, think that this is the most insane part of the difficulty!"

"Other candidates who are not on Hell difficulty have 10 minutes to rest and adjust, which is to give them a break. But those on Hell difficulty do not have this time!"

"The transition between the third and fourth rounds was almost seamless!" Unlike Li Yuanjing, the deputy director, who knew that the higher-ups of the Great Xia Education Bureau were watching the broadcast, the others in the examination center were not nervous.

Instead, they all started discussing it.

Clearly, a few of them had also endured beatings of this hellish difficulty!

in copy.

The rules for the fourth round were slowly explained by the system.

This round of testing will assess your overall abilities!

[In 20 seconds, a Goblin King will spawn in front of you. Its stats are: 50000 HP, 1000 armor, and 1 magic resistance.]

This monster will not attack, but it will continuously summon its personal guard to attack you.

The Goblin Royal Guard consists of four different monster classes: Warrior, Mage, Archer, and Assassin.

Different Goblin Royal Guard members possess different skills, and these Royal Guard monsters will unleash numerous high-damage attacks that require you to use movement skills and skillful positioning to avoid.

[This test has a 10-minute time limit, and your health will not reach zero during this period. While being attacked by all the Goblin Royal Guard monsters, try to dodge their skills while dealing damage to the Goblin King.]

[After you defeat the Goblin King, your score for this round of the exam will be awarded based on the percentage of your remaining health.]

After listening to the rules.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.

This round of exams is finally closer to real-world scenarios.

It tests not only the burst damage and endurance of all professionals, but also their mobility and adaptability.

interesting.

Twenty seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

[The fourth round of exams begins!]

With a command announced by the system.

Before each candidate who chose the Infernal difficulty level, a goblin monster wearing a crown, with an obese and grotesque appearance, spawned.

The moment the monster appeared, it screamed loudly.

They spoke in a language that was completely incomprehensible to humans.

The next moment, three or four elite goblins, clad in armor and with thick limbs, spawned.

In addition, elite goblins wielding staffs and longbows also spawn.

In an instant, more than a dozen elite monsters of various shapes and sizes appeared around the Goblin King!

Lan Ruoyi gritted her teeth.

I forced myself to run.

If she hadn't run, the spot where she was standing would have been instantly filled with seven or eight sharp arrows!
These goblin guards attack at an extremely high frequency!

And the skills they use are used as if they're free!

The greatest threat comes from the Royal Guard mages.

Ice-type Frost Arrow, Fire-type Fireball, Wind-type Nine-Strike Wind Blade, and finally Earth-type Quicksand.

These four spells, when combined, turned the area around the Goblin King into an absolute forbidden zone!
Skills rained down in dense array.

Suddenly, the space beneath your feet turns into quicksand that will entangle your ankles.

Slowing down to the extreme can even become a constraint!
Under these conditions, you also need to output the Goblin King.

A deep sense of despair even rose in Lan Ruoyi's heart!
puff!

What she didn't expect was that the very next moment after he dodged the rain of arrows and various spells...

A short, thin goblin, completely black, suddenly emerged from the shadows.

He stabbed her in the back.
-
314! (Critical hit!)
Lan Ruoyi immediately felt a piercing pain!

She hadn't seen the Goblin King summon an assassin-type bodyguard before, and subconsciously forgot about it.

In fact, the moment the Goblin King summoned him, these assassin guard goblins entered stealth mode.

He disappeared from Lan Ruoyi's sight.
