My career has infinite upgrades.

Zhao Tian froze on the spot, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

That's right!

It's Gu Qing!

The following professions are still F-rank simp and F-rank undead apprentice.

Gu Qing, a double-F-rank waste!

"Eighty floors? How is that possible? Impossible?!"

Zhao Tian muttered to himself, his face filled with disbelief.

"This guy must have cheated! How could a useless double-F rank character be in first place? And still on the 80th floor?!"

"No, he doesn't have any connections, how could he cheat? The screen must be displaying something wrong."

Zhao Tian looked at the platform where the proctor was located and shouted in a shrill voice, "I want to report this! The ranking screen is malfunctioning! How could Gu Qing, a guy with a useless double-F-rank profession, possibly have reached the eightieth floor?"

The proctor looked at Zhao Tian expressionlessly: "Silence! We have checked multiple times, and the Hundred-Layer Ghost Tower and the display screen are all in perfect working order. Everything is normal."

Zhao Tian's face turned pale. Could it be that Gu Qing had some kind of incredible background that he didn't know about?

The spectators, seeing Zhao Tian's appearance, all mocked him.

"What do you mean by 'double F-rank trash'? If someone can clear the 80th floor, even if they really are double F-rank, they're still a double F-rank genius!"

"So, you can't accept other people's excellence?"

"Gu Qing is my idol, are you a clown? Questioning my idol?"

"That can't be right, can it? You were the one shouting the loudest when we asked you to check the light screen, weren't you?"

"Hmph! The peak attracts hypocritical users, and the trough witnesses sincere trust. I felt from the very beginning that Senior Gu Qing was not simple."

Zhao Tian felt his head buzzing. The proctor's answer and the surrounding discussions all confirmed one fact.

That means Gu Qing truly cleared the 80th floor on his own merit.

Zhao Tian's expression shifted between anger and unease, his face burning with embarrassment.

Just then, the Hundred-Story Pagoda flickered again, and a figure was teleported out from it.

Lin Qinghan!

Lin Qinghan's floor level was fixed at seventy-two, and her points were fixed at just over forty thousand.

Second place!

The moment Lin Qinghan appeared, her gaze fell upon the ranking screen.

Secondly, it's not bad.

However, when Lin Qinghan looked up and saw that familiar name, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Gu Qing?!

Eighty floors!

The scene of meeting Gu Qing before instantly flashed through Lin Qinghan's mind.

That strange object?

Career advancement?!

Several thoughts flashed through Lin Qinghan's mind in an instant.

To reach the 80th floor, one must be stronger than her.

SSS-rank job?

That strange object is so powerful?

Numerous thoughts surfaced in Lin Qinghan's mind, leaving her feeling somewhat confused.

......

Inside the secret realm, Gu Qing had already reached the eightieth floor.

The monsters here are not singular, but numerous shadow assassins.

The surrounding environment was pitch black, making it ideal for shadow assassins to hide.

This level is extremely difficult for ordinary test takers, as dodging the Shadow Assassin's attacks is very challenging.

Unfortunately, Gu Qing has Mélisande.

Under Melissant's full perception, the surrounding shadow assassins were quickly killed one by one!

This level is even simpler than the previous ones.

The difficulty level spiked again in the next level.

The monsters inside are no longer singular, but combinations.

Moreover, the formations were incorporated into the changes in the environment.

Gu Qing lost many of his undead guards, but fortunately his mental strength recovered considerably, allowing him to continuously replenish his forces.

Unfortunately, recovery potions cannot be used in either the college entrance examination or the advancement trial.

Otherwise, Gu Qing could have continuously summoned undead guards by using mental energy recovery potions without worrying about losses.

On the 85th floor, Gu Qing encountered a Platinum-rank Soul Puppet Master.

The undead guards who could control Gu Qing launched a counterattack against him.

Moreover, there were ten of them, enough to almost completely control the undead guards.

Fortunately, Cecilia, Melisandre, and the Desert Undead Dragon were all able to withstand the control.

Gu Qing tried it out and found that the Undead Guardian could be stored in the Undead Space, directly breaking the Soul Puppet Master's control.

The Desert Undead Dragon charged forward and quickly hunted down all the puppeteers.

The next few levels went relatively smoothly, but on the 88th floor, Gu Qing encountered a level 12 platinum-grade Abyss Demon Hound.

These abyssal hounds are extremely fast, work together in groups, and also have 50% resistance to soul attacks.

Gu Qing's eyes flickered. It seemed that the later levels were all designed to counter students who wanted to pass them.

Unfortunately, Gu Qing's abilities are quite comprehensive.

The Desert Undead Dragon alone is like a bug, allowing you to easily clear most levels.

With Cecilia's help, the Abyss Hounds in front were quickly eliminated.

Soon, Gu Qing arrived at the ninetieth floor!

The monster on this floor is a boss-level monster.

A level 12 Dark Gold Shadow Dragon.

It is even more powerful than the Desert Undead Dragon in the Death Desert.

However, the highest level here is only level 12, while the Desert Undead Dragon hatched by Gu Qing is level 30.

Gu Qing ordered the undead guards to rush forward first to test the enemy's combat strength.

This shadow dragon can disappear into the void, and when it reappears, it will deliver a fatal blow.

Moreover, it can recover from injuries while disappearing into the void.

Gu Qing deployed the Desert Undead Dragon as the main force, with Cecilia and Melisandre assisting from the side, and the Undead Guards serving as cannon fodder to withstand the attacks.

After seven or eight rounds of back-and-forth fighting, with more than forty undead guards lost, they finally managed to kill the Shadow Dragon.

It took eight minutes to clear the checkpoint!

Gu Qing looked at the light gate in front of him, slightly out of breath, and only after recovering some of his mental energy did he enter the next level.

The stands outside were in an uproar.

All the examinees inside the Hundred-Story Tower have been teleported out, and their scores have been finalized.

Gu Qing is first, Lin Qinghan is second.

All eyes were on Gu Qing's screen, and discussions were rife.

"Holy crap! Ninety floors! Is this guy even human?"

"Wow, that's too powerful! Even a strong undead couldn't possibly charge this far, could they?"

"Yes, this is the first advancement trial. Everyone just changed jobs. Even if Gu Qing's job mutated and became an SSS-rank job, it's impossible for him to master his job power so quickly, right?"

"What do you know? This is Gu Shen!"

"Exactly, do you even know how valuable a perfect score in combat skills is?"

The spectators have now split into two groups.

One group thought that no matter how powerful Gu Qing was, it was impossible for him to reach the 90th floor, which was so abnormal.

Another group has become Gu Qing's mindless fans, thinking that it's normal for Gu Qing to break through the Hundred-Layer Tower.

Without exception, everyone's eyes were fixed on the number of layers on the light screen.

Ninety floors!

Ninety-one floors!

Ninety-two floors!

Ninety-three floors!

Gradually, the stands fell silent, save for heavy breathing.

Half an hour later, the floor number reached a number that made everyone's breathing become labored.

Ninety-nine floors!
