I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

After confirming that there were no other abnormalities in the area, Lin Yuan continued to patrol the large area.

He moved continuously throughout the assessment area following the predetermined route, maintaining a high level of vigilance.

During the subsequent assessment period, the situation in the outer area of ​​this abyss became very stable.

Whenever a new team encounters an insurmountable danger, it is forced to send out a red distress signal.

Lin Yuan would arrive nearby immediately to provide them with the most timely support.

The training and assessment proceeded smoothly day by day under these conditions, and their combat effectiveness was significantly improved after they adapted to the environment of the Abyss Battlefield.

They no longer hesitated and instead actively sought out monsters of level 30 or higher for tactical cooperation.

The real training on the outskirts of the abyss passed in the blink of an eye, and the month-long final exams officially came to an end.

A large formation of military transport aircraft landed on the helipad at the Grey Rock Valley camp on time.

All the first-year students boarded the transport plane in an orderly manner.

As the cabin door closed, the transport plane took off, carrying this batch of new recruits who had undergone combat training back to the inland.

Several hours later, the transport plane landed smoothly on the spacious playground of the War Academy.

The students lined up neatly on the playground, ready to conduct the final grade calculation.

More than a dozen tutors from the Academic Affairs Office sat at a long table and began to count the Abyss loot submitted by the students one by one.

According to the assessment regulations, the number of Abyss Crystals directly determines the final score for the final assessment.

During the inventory process, the tutors in the Academic Affairs Office became increasingly shocked as they looked at the inventory.

The number of Abyss Cores submitted by the first few dozen teams all met the passing standard.

Many teams even had a number of crystal cores that far exceeded the criteria for being considered excellent.

When it was Ye Cang, Ji Qingyue, and other core team members' turn to step forward and calculate the scores, it caused a sensation on the scene.

Ye Cang poured out a large pile of abyssal crystal cores that emitted rich energy fluctuations. These crystal cores were of very high quality, and their energy fluctuations far exceeded those of ordinary level 30 crystal cores.

After careful examination, the mentors discovered that many of these were high-level abyssal crystal cores ranging from level 45 to 50.

However, the chief examiner immediately stepped forward and announced a rule: the abyssal crystal core obtained from the accidental hunt in the abyssal rift did not count.

Because Lin Yuan's absolute defensive aura helped during that unexpected incident, the academy's assessment was designed to test the students' true combat strength and survival ability.

Therefore, the crystal cores obtained by killing high-level monsters with the help of Lin Yuan's defense cannot be counted in the final assessment points.

Ye Cang and the other core team members had no objection to this judgment rule.

They knew very well that without Lin Yuan's protection, they would have no chance of killing those high-level demons.

The mentors singled out the high-level abyss crystal cores and returned them to Ye Cang and the others.

Although these high-level crystal cores do not count towards the points, they are still the students' personal loot and are extremely valuable.

Afterwards, the mentors continued to count the ordinary abyssal crystals that Ye Cang's team had hunted and obtained during the normal assessment period.

After careful calculation, the number of ordinary crystal cores they obtained through their own efforts still ranks first among the freshmen.

With the last class's grades finalized, the director of the academic affairs office received the final statistical report.

The director looked at the final data on the report, his hands trembling slightly, his eyes filled with shock.

After calculation, the pass rate for the final exams of this year's freshmen in the second semester reached an astonishing 100%!

This means that no team faced being held back due to insufficient points, a miracle unprecedented in the history of the War Academy.

In previous years, the dropout rate and the rate of repeating a year in the final examinations at the War Academy have remained consistently high.

In previous years, at least 20% of freshmen faced repeating a year or being eliminated because they could not adapt to the Abyss Battlefield.

But this year's students' performance completely exceeded the expectations of all the mentors and the university's senior management.

They not only successfully overcame their fear of the abyss, but also honed their tenacious fighting spirit in actual combat.

This 100% pass rate broke all previous records for freshman assessments in the history of the War Academy.

All the instructors and students were very excited, and enthusiastic and long applause rang out on the playground.

Fang Zhentian, dressed in a crisp general's uniform, walked steadily up to the high platform in front of the parade ground. Looking at the spirited new students below, a very satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He announced loudly, "The final exams for this year's freshmen have come to a successful conclusion, and everyone's scores have been recorded."

With President Fang Zhentian officially announcing the end of the first year of university.

Freshmen who have been under pressure for a whole year are finally able to relax and rest.

Many people hugged each other, cheered, and celebrated their successful completion of the most challenging phase of their freshman year.

On the evening of the day the final exams ended, Lin Yuan changed out of his examiner's uniform, put on some simple casual clothes, and left the security gates of the War Academy.

Lin Yuan accepted the invitation to a high-end private restaurant outside the university.

This private restaurant is very discreet and has a very quiet environment.

Lin Yuan pushed open the door to the reserved luxury private room and walked straight in.

Inside the private room, several squad members who had forged a deep friendship on the battlefield had been waiting for a long time.

Ye Cang, Ji Qingyue, Ouyang Xue, Xia Chen, Chu Tianxing, Liu Mengli, Su Qing, and Chen Xiaoman are all here.

When Lin Yuan walked in, everyone stood up, greeted him warmly, and guided him to his seat.

The waiter quickly brought out a sumptuous meal and fine drinks, filling the entire table.

The atmosphere at the party was relaxed and lively, with everyone enjoying the food and chatting.

Recalling their awkward and inexperienced appearances when they first entered school, everyone burst into hearty laughter.

The topic then shifted to the survival confrontation they faced with Japanese soldiers during freshman military training.

Then, everyone started talking about the training they had just completed on the outskirts of the Abyss Battlefield.

The group chatted and laughed in the private room, exchanging combat techniques they had learned in actual combat.

After several rounds of drinks, the atmosphere in the private room reached its peak.

Ye Cang raised his wine glass, stood up, and his expression became very serious.

"I must toast Lin Yuan with this glass of wine," Ye Cang said loudly.

"Without Lin Yuan's help during military training and his protection during the final exam, we wouldn't be sitting here today."

Ji Qingyue also picked up her wine glass and stood up, looking at Lin Yuan with gratitude in her eyes.

"That's right. Lin Yuan has saved our lives many times over the past year, and we will always remember this kindness."

Ouyang Xue, Xia Chen, Chu Tianxing, and others also raised their glasses and stood up.

Lin Yuan also picked up his wine glass and stood up, looking at everyone calmly.

He accepted everyone's thanks, and then everyone clinked their glasses and drank their beverages in one gulp.

After sitting down again, everyone continued eating and chatting, and the atmosphere in the private room was very harmonious.

Just then, Ji Qingyue said, "The first year of university is over, and everyone should start preparing for the second year of university."

"Have you heard about the national competition that will be held in our second year of university?"
