My career has infinite upgrades.

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow as she looked at the message.

This year's college entrance examination practice test is actually an advanced trial!

The college entrance examination is divided into a written test and a practical test. In previous years, the practical test was usually a secret realm trial, but the content of the secret realm would change every year.

This is the first time that the advancement trial has been used as part of the college entrance examination.

In previous years, students would typically enter universities after completing the college entrance examination and undergo further trials within the universities.

But this is good, as it saves some time.

After all, without advancing to a higher rank, there's no way to continue leveling up.

Gu Qing put away his phone, stepped forward to pick out the magic core, and then continued hunting.

Although you can no longer gain experience to level up, hunting monsters can increase the Bone Sorcerer's simplified experience.

For the next few days, Gu Qing kept repeating the process of hunting, cooking, and making talismans.

......

On the night before the college entrance examination, Gu Qing looked at the simplified experience gained in various professions and nodded in satisfaction.

With his current combat strength, plus Cecilia and Melissant, he should have no problem getting into a good university through the college entrance examination.

Early the next morning, Gu Qing rushed to the Awakened College Entrance Examination Center in Lin'an.

More than 8,000 awakened new students from across the city gathered here, surrounded by parents who came to see them off. The cheers and words of advice were deafening.

Gu Qing calmly walked through the crowd and headed inside.

"Look, it's Gu Qing."

"A loser with two F-rank skills taking the college entrance exam? He'd be better off delivering food!"

"What are you thinking? Even food delivery requires speed; he's not qualified to be a food deliveryman."

Several students from the same school looked at Gu Qing and whispered among themselves.

Gu Qing's expression remained unchanged as he stepped into the college entrance examination center.

Soon, Gu Qing arrived at her seventh examination room and quietly waited for the exam to begin.

The competition began at 9:00 AM.

The proctor activated the isolation array, and a thick scroll of information automatically unfolded in front of each candidate's desk.

The written test covers a wide range of topics, including basic formations, professional theory, tactical analysis, and more.

Gu Qing glanced at it.

[Analysis of the weaknesses and strategies for defeating the Abyss Skeleton]

[The reason for the energy dissipation of the fire element nodes in the low-level array.]

......

The questions were all fairly basic, except for the last three major questions, which were quite difficult.

But for Gu Qing, it was all a piece of cake.

His combat skills were perfect, but his written test on theoretical knowledge was also flawed.

Gu Qing answered fluently, her pen never stopping.

Some questions even incorporated the author's reflections on the past few days of work, which were written extensively on the exam paper.

Gu Qing finished the written test in just half an hour and immediately got up to hand in his paper.

The eyes of the remaining candidates in the examination room immediately turned towards them.

A two-hour exam, and you handed in your paper in half an hour?

The proctor didn't care about any of that. After sealing Gu Qing's exam paper, he signaled that Gu Qing could leave and wait in the practical assessment area.

In the next exam room, number one, fifty minutes have passed.

Lin Qinghan put down her pen, carefully checked all the exam questions, and after confirming that there were no errors, she got up and handed in her paper.

As Lin Qinghan left the examination room, she overheard several teachers whispering in the corridor.

"In the seventh exam room, a student handed in his paper in half an hour. Lao Liu said that it was full of writing. He glanced at it and it wasn't just random writing."

"I heard from Lao Liu that her name is Gu Qing. She was a top student at No. 1 High School with perfect combat skills. It's a pity that she switched to a useless but good dual-F class. Otherwise, she would have definitely soared to great heights."

Hearing these discussions, Lin Qinghan paused slightly before quickly heading towards the combat assessment area.

At this moment, in the combat assessment area, Gu Qing was resting with his eyes closed.

Ahead was a huge circular space, as big as three playgrounds. The assessment would probably be held here.

Two hours later, the written exam ended, and all the candidates gathered here.

The written test only accounts for 20% of the final score; the practical assessment that follows is the most important.

The surrounding examinees were all discussing how this year's Ascension Realm assessment would be conducted during the college entrance examination.

"quiet!"

A powerful voice boomed through the loudspeaker, silencing all the noise.

The director of the Lin'an Municipal Education Bureau stood on the high platform and began to read out the rules for this college entrance examination practical assessment.

"This year's college entrance examination practical assessment is an advancement trial, and the assessment venue is the Hundred-Story Dark Tower!"

As he spoke, the Director of Education opened his palm, and a small, exquisite stone tower appeared.

The stone tower flew rapidly to the circular area in front, and then suddenly expanded.

In just three breaths, the entire stone tower expanded into a colossal object occupying the entire circular area in front of it.

"boom!"

The stone tower fell, causing the entire ground to tremble.

Gu Qing's gaze fell on the stone tower in front of him.

This stone tower has a hundred stories, soaring into the clouds, and is covered with spatial inscriptions.

"This is the venue for your upcoming assessment, the Hundred-Story Mysterious Tower."

"Once inside, each of you will enter an independent space and challenge yourself level by level. The level you pass will determine the attributes you gain after advancing to the next level, and it will also affect your college entrance examination scores."

"Now, I will announce the specific rules."

The Director of Education paused for a moment, then continued, "The monsters inside the Hundred-Story Tower range in level from 1 to 12, and their rank ranges from bronze to platinum. The higher you go, the higher the monster's level and rank, and the stronger it becomes."

"Passing level 10 is considered passing. After that, you will gain four free attribute points with each level up. Level 30 is considered excellent. After that, you will gain six free attribute points with each level up."

"If you can clear level 50, it will be considered excellent, and you will gain eight free attribute points with each subsequent level up."

"If you can clear 70 floors, you will become a Legendary, and you will gain ten free attribute points with each subsequent level up."

"Finally, if you can clear the hundredth floor, it will break the record of a thousand years and be regarded as a myth. After that, you will gain twelve free attribute points with each advancement."

"The number of levels you clear and the speed at which you do so will be converted into points, which will become your college entrance examination scores."

After the Director of Education finished explaining the rules, there was an uproar around him.

"Holy crap! Clearing all 100 floors grants 12 attribute points per level after that, that's insane!"

"What are you thinking? The level 10 advancement trial is the most difficult. Being rated as excellent already makes you a top student."

"Exactly, didn't you hear that the highest rank is 12 Platinum? Even an SSS-rank newbie couldn't beat it."

"Stop thinking about those things. My goal is to excel. Clearing level 30 should be enough to get me into a decent university."

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Gu Qing's eyes flickered slightly.

This college entrance examination is a test of advancement, and we must go all out.

After all, it concerns the free attribute points for leveling up from 10 to 20.

Just then, Gu Qing suddenly saw two men wearing silver jumpsuits with cross emblems engraved on their chests behind the Director of Education on the high platform.

It's the Church of Light!
