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

"You'll encounter not only monsters inside, but also geniuses from other examination areas across the province and even the country!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

As far as I can remember, this is the first time we've ever had an assessment like this.

Previously, only people from one province could enter the same secret realm, but this year it's the whole country!

Lu Yun continued:

The assessment rules are as follows:

"1. Survival and Points: Survive in the dungeon for two days, and earn points by killing monsters during the process."

「10级怪1分，11级2分20级10分！」

"Elite monsters receive double points! Boss-level monsters are awarded points based on their strength, with a maximum of 1000 points!"

"These points will be useful in all the universities you attend. I can tell you something: points are much more valuable than gold coins! They're your hard currency in universities!"

"2. Auxiliary Protection Mechanisms:"

"To be fair, all support classes (priests, aura masters, etc.) will have their initial landing point near a specific safe zone."

"You have a 30-minute protection period to find your teammates."

"Remember, for support roles, your rating depends not only on your survivability but also on your contribution to the team!"

in the crowd.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoman's expression softened slightly.

She's a priest; if she's randomly teleported into a monster horde, she'll definitely be eliminated instantly.

With a safe zone, she can use that time to curry favor with powerful figures!

"I still have a chance if I can find a strong team!"

Chen Xiaoman gritted her teeth, her eyes subconsciously searching for that silver-white figure in the crowd.

Unfortunately, Lin Yuan didn't even look at her.

"Alright, those are the rules."

Lu Yun waved his hand.

One last thing: points are important, but life is more important!

"In case of unforeseen danger, immediately activate the bracelet to escape the secret realm!"

"Now, the second phase of the college entrance examination officially begins!"

Good luck to you!

boom!

As Lu Yun finished speaking, the portal shone brightly, and countless beams of light descended from the sky, enveloping the candidates who had passed the first round.

Lin Yuan stood in the pillar of light, feeling the pull of spatial power, and a hopeful smile appeared on his lips.

"I'll be able to meet geniuses from other places? I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder if there are any hidden or legendary professions like mine?"

With a flash of light, Lin Yuan's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

A strong feeling of weightlessness washed over me.

When Lin Yuan opened his eyes again, the surrounding scenery had undergone earth-shattering changes.

It was no longer a noisy playground, but a primeval forest that blocked out the sky.

Towering trees, entwined with vines, filled the air with a pungent stench of decaying leaves and wild beasts.

A few chilling roars of beasts occasionally reached my ears.

"Is this the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts?"

Lin Yuan stretched his limbs, and his heavy Myriad Devouring Ant Queen set emitted a faint dark golden luster in the dim forest.

"roar!"

Just then, a dark shadow suddenly darted out from the bushes on the side, rushing towards Lin Yuan's neck with a foul stench.

It was extremely fast, even leaving a trail of afterimages in the air.

Jungle Leopard (Normal)

[Level: lv10]

【Life: 1500】

Attack: 120

[Skills: Tear Claw Strike, Shadow Strike]

"Only 1500 HP?"

A hint of pity flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, then he dodged to the side, using his left wrist guard to block the attack.

"Snap!"

The leopard's sharp fangs bit down hard on the barbs of Lin Yuan's wrist guard.

Not even a white mark was left, but two of the leopard's teeth were broken.

[Attacked: -0!] (Defense not breached)

Meanwhile, to immerse yourself in reading Chapter 63, "The Monarch's Stance is Activated: Try Touching Me?", please click here.

An extremely terrifying energy erupted from Lin Yuan's body and rebounded back along the demonic leopard's teeth!

[Talent Triggered: Eternal Immortality!]

[Reflect Damage: -1855!] (True Damage)

The fierce glint in the leopard's eyes instantly turned into terror.

Before it could even open its mouth, its fragile 1500 health points were instantly wiped out by the massive 1855 points of true damage!

"Bang!"

The leopard's body stiffened in mid-air, then exploded like a balloon being blown up, turning into a sky full of white light.

"Too weak."

Lin Yuan sighed.

"Relying on killing these small monsters, which requires searching for them one by one, is too inefficient."

Lin Yuan looked around.

This forest is very large, and the monsters are scattered.

If you wander around like a headless fly looking for oddities, forget about winning the national championship; you'll probably struggle to even make the top 100.

His agility attribute is relatively low, so his movement speed is definitely not as fast as those professionals who wear leather armor.

"We need to find a way to get them to come to us of their own accord."

Then, Lin Yuan's gaze fell on the attributes of his new outfit.

【Set Bonus: Monarchic Force Field (Active)】

[Once activated, it taunts all enemies within 100 meters, forcing them to attack you for 60 seconds!]

A 100-meter range is too large. If it attracts hundreds of animals or even a large one, it might not kill them, but it would still be troublesome.

After all, there are probably quite a few people within a 100-meter radius. If he attracts a bunch of monsters, and some of them attack others after 60 seconds, and those people don't have time to retreat, then he will be in a bad position.

Let's take it slow at first.

Subsequently, Lin Yuan limited the scope of his taunts to a 10-meter radius around him, launching a small-scale attack first.

He was fortunate that he could adjust the taunt range of this set effect as he pleased.

This behavior distinguishes it from games, allowing for more flexible control over one's abilities rather than relying on fixed values.

An invisible, provocative wave emanated from Lin Yuan and instantly spread outwards.

The range is precisely controlled within 10 meters!

Although the area was small, the effect was immediate.

"Shh shh shh"

The once quiet bushes suddenly became restless.

"roar!!"

"hiss!!"

The angry roars of various wild beasts echoed from all directions.

Three Swift Wolves!

Two wild boars with metal casings!

There was also a highly venomous spotted snake hanging in the tree!

There are six monsters in total, all between levels 10 and 12.

They roared and howled, pouncing on Lin Yuan from all sorts of tricky angles.

"Well done!"

"roar!"

The first to rush forward was the Gale Wolf, which opened its blood-red maw and bit Lin Yuan's calf.

-0!

[Reflect Damage: -1855!] (Instant Kill!)

Immediately afterwards, the iron-skinned wild boar slammed into Lin Yuan's shield.

-0!

[Reflect Damage: -1855!] (Instant Kill!)

A highly venomous spotted snake bit Lin Yuan's arm.

-0!

[Reflect Damage: -1855!] (Instant Kill!)

Just two seconds.

The six demons that rushed forward all died instantly upon contact with Lin Yuan!

Lin Yuan is like a hedgehog covered in invisible spikes.

Whoever touches it dies!

Looking at the points that were automatically increasing on the bracelet, Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

"That's what efficiency is all about."

He walked with his hands behind his back, maintaining a 10-meter field of mockery, and randomly chose a direction to walk in.

Wherever he goes, if any monster dares to rush up and bite him, the low-level monsters will die instantly, and if they don't die instantly, he'll just have to hit them a few more times!
