The sweat is mine, but the numbers are all theirs.

After coming out, the prodigy from Shangyuan Province was mentally prepared to be ridiculed, but he found that there were still people in the square.

"Lin Chongfeng? How come you were eliminated even faster than me? Didn't you say that apart from Xiao He, no one could do anything to you?"

Did you run into her as soon as you went in?

Lin Chongfeng remained silent, which made the prodigy from Shangyuan Province want to laugh even more.

It feels so good to be here even though it's not the last one in the countdown.

Both were prodigies, yet they were both beaten out shortly after entering. If word got out, they would lose all face.

But the one who will be remembered most is definitely the last one, not the second to last.

Seeing the gloomy face of the prodigy from Shangyuan Province turn into a grin, Lin Chongfeng finally couldn't hold back and said in a gloomy tone.

"Don't think I didn't see the projection. You couldn't even last a second before you quit, while I lasted at least four seconds."

The difference is obvious; you should be in last place.

The wicked man from Shangyuan Province lost his smile and, after a long while, managed to utter a rebuttal.

"I just don't want to suffer meaningless pain."

"You didn't last a second."

"I still have my ultimate ability, which I haven't used yet. If I use it, it will definitely be able to fight back!"

"You didn't last a second."

"Is that all you know?" The devilish girl from Shangyuan Province blushed with anger.

"I held on for four seconds."

"..."

Seeing the two arguing, the mentors fell silent.

At this moment, a student said, "Lu Yuan's last summoned beast is about to run into a monster, and it's Xiao He!"

"Hiss, judging from the route, it really is true."

"He's doomed to fail this time. He might have a chance against Xiao He if he switched to his other two summoned beasts, but this Silver Knight just isn't fast enough!"

"Yes, he's not even half as fast as that Spider Woman, so he's probably going to be defeated, but to kill two prodigies in a row, Lu Yuan is already incredibly impressive!"

"Who else could be the dark horse in this year's Divine Sparrow Academy entrance exam but him!"

Seeing that neither the Spider Woman nor the black-skirted elf in the projection showed any intention of reuniting and were still searching for weakening stones in different directions, Lü Dongyang breathed a sigh of relief.

In that case, Xiao He should be out of danger and won't have to make history like Lin Chongfeng.

He's clearly a prodigy, yet he's ranked last or second to last? This has never happened before in any of the academy's entrance exams.

Just as this thought arose, a flash of black and red light appeared on the projection.

Boom! As the black and red mass exploded, the horse's hooves shattered the earth and soared into the sky.

Condensing wings interwoven with wind and thunder, the black and red centaur tore through the fiery red clouds like a shooting star, its speed exceeding a kilometer per second.

The terrifying kinetic energy created a shockwave that ripped through the air, forming a channel stretching for tens of kilometers in a short time!

While facing off against the BOSS, Xiao He, who had reached level 57, suddenly seemed to sense something and looked to the side.

Boom! A black and red wave exploded in the sky, and the approaching figure, which was not clearly visible, increased in speed again, causing her pupils to shrink.

Immediately following, a raging storm swept in, terrifying lightning exploded, and the immense pressure was so strong that the earth itself seemed to sink.

The heavy spear, almost touching, fell with the force to destroy everything.

Boom!! The golden and black-red wind and thunder power that exploded within a range of hundreds of meters destroyed the area. Under the sweeping impact, even the level 58 BOSS was forced to retreat.

In the massive crater several meters deep, Xiao He felt as if a meteorite had crashed into her. The powerful impact caused her armored arms to crack and pop, and her knees shattered from the impact of her kneeling!

Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Who...who are you...?"

The figure before them held a gun in one hand, their face covered by a black mask, only revealing a chilling aura.

"Quit, or die."

His voice was indifferent, and the heavy gun began to press down little by little.

Xiao He gritted her teeth, her eyes defiant. She was a prodigy with top-tier talent; how could she possibly be defeated in a single exchange?!

Boom! Her aura began to surge wildly, and a powerful force surged forth, allowing her to deflect the heavy spear.

"In vain." The black and red centaur uttered two words, and the annihilating lightning instantly gathered and compressed on the spear, its power increasing even faster than the girl's.

Boom! The ground sank again, and Xiao He knelt back down, his armor and sword crumbling under the strain.

How could this be?!

Xiao He was shocked. These were all five-star level equipment, how could they not withstand it?!

Crack—the moment her thought arose, the battle sword had already shattered over an even larger area.

The next second, the heavy spear cleaved through everything, the battle sword shattered into countless pieces, and the ground exploded.

Xiao He's figure disappeared from there, returning to the square.

Seeing this, Lin Chongfeng began to comment: "Not bad, you lasted three seconds. You're only one second behind me, so you're second to last."

"..."

Xiao He coughed heavily, leaning on his battle sword despite his serious injuries, and asked, "So, who came in last place?"

"Look, that top student from Shangyuan Province was eliminated in less than a second."

The prodigy from Shangyuan Province trembled with rage: "You were clearly last place! You were the first one eliminated!"

"I held on for four seconds."

"..."

Seeing his silence, Lin Chongfeng repeated, "You didn't hold on for even a second."

As if afraid he would forget.

The demon of Shangyuan Province remained silent, and the area around the square was completely quiet.

All the trainees looked at each other, their eyes filled with bewilderment. They hadn't even realized what had happened yet; Xiao He had already been instantly defeated.

Lu Dongyang remained silent for a moment, then said, "How about we choose again? I'll take Lu Yuan, and you can choose anyone else."

A surge of ice erupted instantly, and Luo Ning said coldly, "You can try to snatch me."

"Ahem, I was just joking." Lu Dongyang quickly said, "Maybe this group only managed to defeat Xiao He by using some kind of explosive technique with severe side effects, otherwise there's no explanation."

"Yes, they're all prodigies, the difference shouldn't be this big."

The moment the voices of agreement were uttered, the Black and Red Knight annihilated the BOSS with a single shot and continued toward the other weakening stones.

Nothing happened at all.

The mentors fell silent.

"Wait a minute," Song Fei suddenly realized something and said.

"He's already taken three weakening stones, why isn't he stopping? Is he planning to... take all six?"

Doesn't this mean that the remaining three prodigies will also be targeted by his summoned beasts?!

The thought sent chills down Song Fei's spine, along with the other four mentors.

And this was soon proven true; three more figures appeared in the square, all of whom had been rated as prodigies before the academy's entrance exam.

At this moment, the six prodigies stood in a row in the square, neat and orderly, looking at each other in silence.

The inspectors who brought them there also fell silent and looked at Yang Long.

"..."

Yang Long has been dumbfounded from the very beginning. If he is like this, then Li Qun and the other two must be even more stunned.

Being watched by a group of inspectors of higher rank than themselves, they suddenly felt immense pressure.

Lu Dongyang also looked over, his eyes deep and uneasy. He was completely overwhelmed by what he was seeing.

Six of the top contenders for the championship turned out to be among the bottom six? It's utterly ridiculous!

Unheard of!

He could already imagine the astonished looks he would receive when he went out.

He silently picked up the special device and sent a message.

"Prefect Ji, why don't you come and take a look at the assessment square?"

The reply came quickly.

"Are the results out?"

"Not yet, but it's almost there."

"So soon? You've moved up the assessment time?"

"without."

"Then wait for the results and call me again. I have other things to do."

This sentence was followed by an angry emoji.

"I think it would be better if you came directly to see for yourself, because there was a slight... unexpected incident."

"I'm outside the manor. Nothing could possibly be worth me rushing back, understand?"

"The six prodigies who came to participate in our assessment were all eliminated in less than ten minutes. The one who eliminated them was a person... no, a monster."

The screen went silent for a long time without a response.

Lu Dongyang knew that the other party was probably already on their way back.

Thinking it over, he said to the Mirror Image Master, "Let's see where Lu Yuan is. I want to see what kind of guy he is."

He had never paid any attention to the other person before, let alone looked at him.

The projections that appeared immediately upon entering the instance were not fixed, except for the six prodigies. When Lu Yuan was shown the image, he only saw his three summoned beasts heading in different directions.

The mirror artist responded and, not daring to delay, immediately began the operation.

The more he worked, the more cold sweat appeared on his face.

"Professor Lü, we can't find him!"

???

Lu Dongyang was stunned for a moment, as were the other mentors.

"There's no sign of him anywhere in the entire instance?"

"...No." The mirror artist swallowed and replied.

Immediately, the scene fell silent again.
