My career has infinite upgrades.

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow. Last time, Ya said that the Holy See of Light would leave soon, but now it seems that they have not given up and have left two people behind to observe whether there are any clues in this college entrance examination.

"Buzz!"

Just then, the stone tower in front of them suddenly trembled, and a huge gate of light emerged from the tower, standing in front of all the examinees.

"The Hundred-Story Tower has opened, and the College Entrance Examination Advancement Trial has officially begun. All candidates, enter the tower!"

The Director of Education's booming voice resonated throughout the room.

Gu Qing was in the square formation, following the others as they quickly headed towards the gate of light.

Upon entering the portal, a powerful gaze swept over Gu Qing, even penetrating his storage ring.

This light gate is not only a transmission light gate, but also a detection light gate.

During the college entrance examination, only the weapons issued by the organizers can be worn. If you have anything else, your spatial ring will take it away immediately.

At the same time, if anyone is found to have cheated, they will be ejected from the exam by the light gate and disqualified from taking the exam.

Several people were thrown out of the way.

There's nothing we can do; there are idiots every year.

I always felt that my cheating methods were superior to the detection methods used in the college entrance examination.

With only the chosen spear and a set of silver armor provided in his spatial ring, Gu Qing successfully entered the portal.

The feeling of weightlessness was fleeting, and the next moment Gu Qing felt his feet firmly planted on the ground.

While quickly scanning his surroundings, Gu Qing sensed Cecilia and Melissant within the contract space.

The contract space has not been severed, so it seems that Cecilia and Melisandre's contract has been recognized as their professional power and can be used in the college entrance examination.

The surrounding area was a closed stone hall, about half the size of a football field, with a dome inlaid with crystals that emitted a cold light.

This place seems to have been abandoned for a long time; the walls are covered with bluish-brown moss, and there is a musty smell of dust in the air.

A phantom-like handwriting appeared before Gu Qing's eyes.

【The Hundred-Story Pagoda - First Floor】

Objective: Eliminate all monsters on the current floor.

[Failure time: 30 minutes]

The moment the writing appeared, the stone slab in the center of the hall began to crack, and five yellowish-brown lights emerged from the ground. The rubble quickly gathered together and rapidly formed five two-meter-tall monsters.

Level 8 monster, Stone Golem.

Its characteristics include thick skin and high physical defense; even a novice warrior's broadsword will chip when it hits it.

However, its rank is only bronze, and its movement speed is extremely slow.

After all, it's only the first level, so there won't be any monsters of too high a rank.

Gu Qing stood still, without summoning the undead guards, but simply raised his right hand.

With a surge of spiritual energy, five bone spears instantly appeared, tearing through the air and shooting rapidly forward.

The five stone golems were pierced directly by the bone spears, and the immense force even sent them flying backward, crashing into the stone wall behind them.

After reaching level ten, Gu Qing's spirit improved significantly. In addition, the spirit attributes he received from Cecilia and Melisandre made his bone spears more numerous and harder.

However, the stone golem was thick-skinned and tough, and after shaking its body, it slowly stood up.

Gu Qing raised his hand, and the undead guard was summoned. Ten undead guards rushed towards the stone golem.

Two seconds later, the five stone golems were shattered, turning into fragments scattered on the ground.

[First level cleared, time: 8 seconds.]

Points earned: 10

A portal of light appeared ahead, and Gu Qing stepped through it without hesitation, entering the next level.

At this moment, in the square outside, many parents of test takers and first and second-year high school students who were observing were staring intently at the Hundred-Story Pagoda.

In the middle of the hundred-story tower, a huge light curtain appeared.

The top is covered with names, all of whom are candidates participating in the competition, followed by the floor number and score.

These names are constantly changing and fluctuating, representing a real-time ranking of the test takers.

"Holy crap! Lin Qinghan has already entered the third level! How long has it been? Not even a minute! As expected of an SS-rank Ice Soul Sword Saint!"

"Zhao Tian is not slow either; berserkers are fast at killing monsters."

"Wait, am I seeing things? How come Gu Qing is on the third floor too?"

A boy from No. 1 High School rubbed his eyes, looking at Gu Qing who was rushing upwards with a look of astonishment.

"Who is this Gu Qing? He's almost catching up to Lin Qinghan, a hidden dark horse? I've never heard of him. What's his profession? SS-rank? S-rank?"

"Holy crap! This is our school's celebrity, the useless senior who's only a double F-rank student, how could he have broken through so fast?"

"Is the screen displaying something wrong? I just saw him confessing to Senior Lin Qinghan like crazy. There's no way he could be this fast. If the screen wasn't malfunctioning, I would have eaten the school toilets."

Inside the tower, Gu Qing was unaware of the discussions outside. He led his undead guards, pushing their way through the tower and quickly reaching the sixth floor.

Three level-nine Shadow Panthers appeared.

Although there are only three monsters, these Shadow Leopards are of the Dark Gold rank and are quite ferocious.

The Shadow Panther is extremely fast and has a built-in stealth ability; ordinary test takers will be slowly worn down if they encounter it.

If you can't hold on, you'll be defeated.

The moment the three-headed shadow leopard saw Gu Qing, it vanished into the shadows.

The surroundings fell silent instantly, as if the three shadow leopards had vanished.

But Gu Qing knew in his heart that the three Shadow Leopards were already approaching him, preparing to attack.

Gu Qing didn't let Melissand come out, but instead relied on his intuition to sense the killing intent coming from the left.

He swerved and retreated, a gleaming claw blade grazing his nose.

Gu Qing brandished his spear, sending it whistling through the air, and thrust it directly at the Shadow Leopard that had revealed its form.

With a scream, the spear pierced through the shadow leopard's body, killing it instantly.

While the Shadow Panther is fast and has excellent stealth capabilities, its defense is not high.

Two more shadow leopards emerged from behind Gu Qing. One targeted Gu Qing's neck and bit down hard, while the other targeted Gu Qing's anus, its sharp claws gleaming coldly as it clawed.

"Buzz!"

A bone spear materialized and pierced straight through the body of a shadow panther.

The other Shadow Panther was blocked by the undead guards that Gu Qing had withdrawn, and then quickly surrounded and killed it.

These three shadow leopards didn't hold us off for as long as the previous monsters.

Cleared level 6 in 8 seconds.

[Bone Warlock Simplified Experience +12]

Gu Qing continued his ascent and soon reached the ninth level.

Twenty level 8 Flame Dragon Lions appeared in front of us; this level was overwhelming in numbers.

The 20 Flame Dragon Lions charged directly at Gu Qing. With the help of the Undead Guard, Gu Qing eliminated all the Flame Dragon Lions in just one minute.

Cleared level 9 in 59 seconds.

[Bone Warlock Simplified Experience +46.]

A portal of light appeared, and just as Gu Qing was about to enter the tenth floor, a notification sound rang in his ears.

[Ding~ The Bone Sorcerer's Simplified Experience is full; you can now advance to the next rank.]

[Should I upgrade?]
