Don't mess with that necromancer; his summoned creatures level up on their own!

The fist landed.

The bluish-white light spot struck the center of the ground.

The force of the punch pierced the ground and exploded below the magic circle, the shockwave spreading outwards and simultaneously sending ten goblin warriors flying into the air.

They spun, tumbled, and collided in mid-air.

The body that landed on the ground was not a complete corpse.

The whole process took less than three seconds.

[Defeat 10 Goblin Warriors to gain +100 points! Current floor: Floor 2, cleared!]

The little zombie smacked its lips, seemingly unsatisfied: "Tch, that's all?"

The announcement came on again: "Congratulations to candidate Lu Zhixing! You have cleared the second level! Time taken: three seconds! Please prepare to enter the third level in five minutes!"

Lu Zhixing glanced at the time.

three seconds.

This efficiency is even faster than the first layer.

He stretched slowly and leisurely, and then he lay down.

He lay there stiffly on the floor of the hall, his hands behind his head, his legs stretched out and crossed, staring at the ceiling.

This exam is so boring.

However... this move is actually quite good.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only five or ten low-level monsters right now. Keep in mind that this is only the second level, and the highest level is thirty.

If nothing unexpected happens, more and higher-level monsters will inevitably appear later.

No matter how many come, just block the teleportation point and slowly defeat them.

……..…

There was a full five seconds of silence in the VIP monitoring room.

Everyone stared at the main screen, at the hexagonal, dark red, blood-red prison.

Yu Xiaogang let out a dry gasp.

"Oh, this..."

As the admissions officer for the Azure Dragon Class at Azure Dragon Academy, he had seen countless ways to pass the Trial Tower.

Some players rely on positioning and kiting to wear down monsters, some rely on burst damage to instantly kill them with overwhelming force, and some rely on summoned creatures to tank damage and slowly whittle them down.

Some people have even used their persuasive skills to convince monsters to surrender.

Although it was later confirmed that the candidate had bribed the staff inside the tower beforehand, that still fell within the scope of "having seen" it.

But he had never seen anything like this before, where the monster's spawn point was blocked off to farm monsters.

From beginning to end, the goblins didn't even see the enemy they were supposed to face.

They were already in the cage the moment the teleportation was completed, and then they were blown to pieces the next second.

Yu Xiaogang quickly made an analysis in his mind.

At this point in time, only three days after the job change, it's already quite good for an ordinary mage to be able to maintain the wall using defensive skills like [Blood Wall].

Being able to erect a two-meter-high wall is considered a rare gift.

To create such a thick and tightly sealed hexagonal cage.

Each wall is five meters high and more than two meters thick, and the angles of the six walls are perfectly precise.

This requires not only abundant mental strength, but also ultimate mastery of skills.

More importantly, while mastering the Blood Wall to this level, it also possesses the terrifying firepower to instantly kill ten goblins.

Those geniuses who are born with a dual affinity.

Being able to master an attack skill while standing firmly against a relatively solid wall during a major exam is already quite remarkable.

As for Lu Zhixing... he has two elements, wind and blood.

His walls are blood-based, and his damage output is wind-based.

He had never seen, heard of, or even read about cultivating two systems to this extent at the three-day mark of job advancement.

Yu Xiaogang picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Lu Zaoxie looked at Yu Xiaogang's expression, which seemed to say, "I've really seen something new today."

His smile was harder to suppress than an AK, but he was still trying to remain calm.

He cleared his throat.

"Old Yu, what do you mean?"

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

He looked at Lu Zaoxie, his gaze revealing something he hadn't seen before.

I came to visit because it was my old classmate's son, just to give him face.

I'm genuinely interested now.

His voice carried an undisguised sense of shock.

"Old Lu, your son is really something else..."

Lu Zaoxie picked up his teacup and took a sip, trying his best to maintain a humble expression, but the curve of his lips betrayed him.

"No, no, I'm just a little better than the average person..."

As he spoke, he kept glancing at Su Yangwei out of the corner of his eye.

Su Yangwei sat on the sofa, arms crossed, staring intently at the screen, his lips pressed into a thin line.

His expression didn't reveal much emotion.

But Lu Zaoxie has known him for decades and knows that this "expressionless face" is itself an emotion.

Yu Xiaogang suddenly turned to the technicians and said, "Rewind the footage! Slow it down!"

The technicians did as instructed, and the screen reversed for about ten seconds before starting to play in slow motion.

In the scene, a hexagonal blood wall surrounds the teleportation array. The array lights up, and ten goblin warriors coalesce into form in the light.

They looked up in confusion, only to find walls all around them.

Then a small zombie appeared on the wall, descended from the sky, and with one punch, shattered ten goblins at the same time.

Yu Xiaogang pointed at the screen, his voice low: "Did you see that? From beginning to end, Lu Zhixing didn't look at what was happening inside the wall even once."

Su Yangwei frowned slightly.

Lu Zaoxie frowned slightly.

Everyone looked back at the screen, and indeed, Lu Zhixing in the picture went from lying down to standing up.

I didn't even glance in the direction of that hexagonal wall of blood from beginning to end.

He lay on the floor outside the wall, eyes closed, chewing on dried meat.

He didn't look inside the wall at all; from beginning to end, he didn't even lift his eyelids once.

Yu Xiaogang's voice lowered even further: "Under the premise of no visibility."

He could pinpoint the location of every monster and make the little zombies hit them precisely.

This absolute perception... to be honest, I've never seen anything like it.

Lu Zaoxie blushed slightly and waved his hand, but he couldn't suppress the smugness in his voice.

"Haha, Lao Yu, you're exaggerating. Can't you do that kind of perception too? How come I've never seen it?"

Yu Xiaogang rolled his eyes at Lu Zaoxie and raised his voice a few decibels.

"Old Lu, that's not very meaningful. I've been in this job for thirty years, while your son has only been in it for three days. How can you compare them?"

He paused, then his voice turned somber.

"This can't be explained by effort alone. This talent, this perception, is innate."

It's an innate instinct, not something that can be learned later in life.

"Old Lu, I really want to thank you for notifying me in time. Otherwise, it would have been a real loss for our Azure Dragon Squad."

Yu Xiaogang glanced at the screen again and added another sentence.

"If another university snatches up this kind of talent, where will I put my face?"

"Old Lu, I, Yu Xiaogang, am determined to take your son as my prodigy. No matter how the later levels turn out, he'll definitely have a place in the Azure Dragon Class."

Lu Zaoxie's lips finally couldn't hold back anymore, and he grinned from ear to ear.

"Old Yu, what you're saying... our Jianxing is just lucky, just lucky."

Lu Zaoxie and Shen Jing exchanged a glance, their eyes practically overflowing with laughter.

Shen Jing took over the conversation, her tone perfectly timed.

"Hey, Lao Yu, that's too much. What's with all this talk about geniuses? Our Jianxing doesn't really have any grand ambitions."

He's simply lazy. He finds chasing monsters too tiring, so he came up with this lazy method of trapping them and blasting them, just to save himself the trouble.

Lu Zaoxie nodded in agreement: "That's right. Our Jianxing has always been like this since he was little. He'd rather lie down than sit up."

Today you're building walls and fighting monsters, tomorrow you might be sleeping in a bed inside the tower.

The two sang in perfect harmony, their voices blending seamlessly together.

Su Yangwei sat on the sofa, his expression seemingly calm, but his heart was already churning with turmoil.

This terrifying control over elements, this unbelievable tactical thinking.

Lu Zhixing's level wasn't achieved by simply stacking up his abilities; he didn't overcome that Abyss dungeon using Song Xiaohe's light-elemental advantage.

But now, he was looking at the hexagonal wall of blood on the screen.

Looking at the goblins that were instantly killed with pinpoint accuracy, and at the boy who hadn't raised his eyes once from beginning to end.

This kind of perception, this kind of control, this kind of tactical thinking cannot be bought with money, nor can it be bought with equipment, nor can it be explained by luck.

Yu Xiaogang glanced at the data on the screen and spoke again.

"Three seconds."

Lu Zaoxie blinked. "What three seconds?"

"Your son cleared the second level in three seconds." Yu Xiaogang turned to look at Lu Zaoxie.

"Old Lu, what was the highest record ever set by the Trial Tower in Dachang City?"

Lu Zaoxie thought for a moment: "The current record is 20 floors, with a total time of 20 minutes, not including the break time."

Yu Xiaogang's gaze returned to the screen, and he murmured, "Twenty minutes, twenty floors..."

At this rate, Lu Zhixing will not only break the record for the number of floors reached, but he'll probably also break the record for the fastest completion time for each floor.

Su Yangwei couldn't hold back any longer.

He snorted coldly: "Hmph, dream on! Old Yu, you overestimate him."

The last five floors are filled with level 20 monsters, and there are quite a few of them, including some that can fly.

How can these few walls possibly stop anything? Can walls stop monsters on the ground, or monsters in the sky?

Once those flying monsters fly over the wall, let's see how he'll 'complete the game lying down' then.

Lu Zaoxie smiled faintly, his voice unhurried: "Old Su, that's all your vision has to offer."

Since you think it's a dream, let's continue watching.

Su Yangwei's face darkened, and without replying, he turned to look at another screen.

The image of Su Youran.

Su Youran was on the third floor of the Trial Tower, waving her staff and sending wind blades flying as she fought against a huge goblin warrior.

Her movements remained clean, crisp, and precise.

But that kind of precision suddenly seemed a bit... insufficient in the face of Lu Zhixing's overwhelming attack.

Su Yangwei watched his daughter sweating profusely, and his heart was filled with emotion.

It's just a pity that her daughter's current situation is nowhere near as good as Lu Zhixing's toes.

But he is Su Youran's father, so he can't say it.

On the second level of the Trial Tower, Su Youran leaned on her staff, panting heavily.

Although we won that battle, it wasn't easy.

Ten goblin warriors are far stronger than the five goblins on the first floor.

They are thick-skinned and know how to spread out and flank, with an extremely strong desire to attack, pouncing from three directions at the same time.

They almost broke through her wind blade defense line.

She had to use her movement skills to create distance while simultaneously calculating skill cooldowns before attacking.

Every shot must be precise; no opportunity can be wasted.

An announcement blared overhead: "Congratulations, candidate Su Youran! You have cleared the second level! Time: 1 minute and 47 seconds! Please prepare to enter the third level in five minutes!"

Su Youran revealed a proud smile.

One minute and forty-seven seconds.

An average A-level candidate would have to struggle for at least three to five minutes against ten goblin warriors at this level, and might even get hurt if they're not careful.

Even with S-level talent, those who can end a battle within two minutes are extremely rare.

It only took me less than two minutes.

This score would have been the absolute pinnacle among S-level talent candidates in previous years.

Besides her, the other S-rank in Dachang City is Song Xiaohe, a light-type knight, who is naturally at a disadvantage in monster-killing efficiency.

In other words, with his current performance, he is most likely to have dominated the entire field.

She looked up and her gaze fell on the red surveillance camera in the corner of the wall.

The tiny red dot was flashing.

All the images in the examination room were transmitted to the monitoring center in real time.

Her father must be sitting in the VIP monitoring room right now, watching her with great pride.

"dad,"

"Did you see that? That's the dominance of an S-class Nine Heavens Phoenix. This time, I'm determined to make Dachang City's champion."

In the monitoring room, the image was frozen on the moment Su Youran spoke to the camera.

Lu Zaoxie looked at Su Youran's confident expression on the screen.

She glanced again at Su Yangwei's face, which was now almost as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Old Su, what's your You Ran mumbling over there?"

Known daughter Moruofu.

He knows his daughter too well.

From that look in her eyes and the angle of her upturned lips, he could guess what Su Youran was thinking.

"I am an S-class student."

"I am the best in the world"

"I am the undisputed champion."

Every expression and every movement of hers silently proclaimed this.

Normally, he would indeed feel proud, honored, and gratified for his daughter.

But now.

His peripheral vision caught sight of the screen next to him.

Lu Zhixing was already lying on the ground, leisurely eating snacks. He glanced at the timer... three seconds.

Three seconds to pass the second level.

Su Yangwei felt a surge of heat rush to the top of his head.

How embarrassing... so damn embarrassing!

While Su Youran was indulging in self-admiration, thinking, "One minute and forty-seven seconds is the best in the world,"

On the screen next to him, Lu Zhixing was already lying flat on the third floor.

That sense of contrast is like someone slowly running a marathon, thinking they've already taken the lead over everyone else.

When I looked up, I realized that the person next to me had already taken a plane to their destination.

Su Yangwei took a deep breath and calmed the surge of hot blood rushing to his throat.

He picked up the now-cold teacup, took a sip, put it down, and said nothing.

The third layer.

The teleportation array lit up, and ten goblin warriors stepped out of the light.

The little zombie fell from the sky, its fist, imbued with wind element, exploding in mid-air.

The bodies of the ten monsters shattered and vanished in the light, none of them even having time to scream.

[System notification: "Congratulations, candidate Lu Zhixing! You have cleared the third level! Time taken: 3 seconds! Please prepare to enter the fourth level in 4 minutes."]

Lu Zhixing didn't even lift his eyelids.

Three seconds. Three seconds for the second layer, three seconds for the third layer. This speed should be fast enough.

The same scene played out on the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors.

Steppenwolves, Sharp-Toothed Rabbits, Venomous Lizards, Armored Rhinos—no matter what kind of monster it is, once it teleports over, it will inevitably be greeted with a few heavy punches from the little zombies.

The little zombie's movements were becoming more and more skillful.

It even started planning the shortest killing path in the air, throwing a punch and using the recoil to turn towards the next one.

Every punch landed precisely on the head, without a single unnecessary movement.

When it reached the later floors, it didn't even bother to look back. After delivering its final punch, it turned around and jumped towards the wall without looking back.

The little vampire icon flashed briefly in the skill bar.
