42: Chapter 42 He was instantly killed the moment he showed his face!

Guardian dungeon, first floor.

King Slime stood at the exit of the teleportation channel, its jelly-like waist akimbo, its beady eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Come one, I'll fight one; come ten, I'll fight ten; come a hundred, I'll fight a hundred!"

"Today, this King Slime shall Self-destruct and blow up every single examinee who enters!"

It had even started fantasizing.

The whole country would be able to see this via the livestream.

Those examinees would rush in one by one, only to be cleared out by its direct Self-destruct.

How mighty, how domineering!

This was the true demeanor of the dignified King Slime!

Just then.

A low voice came from the side,

"Big Brother, I don't think this is very prudent."

Little Skeleton stood beside King Slime, the two demon horns on its head slightly curved, and the ghostly blue flames in its eye sockets flickered.

Its voice carried a kind of caution etched into its bones.

"What if someone is hiding their true strength, or has some special means?"

"Besides, there is a time limit for the challenge."

"If it exceeds 10 minutes, it counts as a draw."

King Slime snorted disdainfully.

"Coward, would King Slime be like you?"

"Let those examinees come, I'll instant kill whoever shows up!"

Little Skeleton sighed.

"Big Brother, it's not that I don't believe in your strength."

"It's just that Master entrusted this task to us to guard this place and ensure Master's College Entrance Exam score."

"If any accident occurs and affects Master's College Entrance Exam, that would be troublesome."

"You agree, right?"

King Slime frowned slightly.

What it said... seemed to make some sense.

Seeing this, Little Skeleton continued, its voice tinged with a hint of inducement.

"Therefore, I think we should use a safer method."

"For example..."

The flames in Little Skeleton's eye sockets flared up suddenly, as if it had thought of a good idea.

"We can plant mines at the entrance."

"Big Brother, you can Split yourself into many small pieces in advance and stick them to the exit of the teleportation channel."

"That way, every examinee who enters will step on your clones."

"Step on it, and it explodes."

"Instant kill upon showing up."

"There's no need for you to take action personally."

"This is both safe and effortless, and it can ensure Master's task is foolproof."

A gleam of light gradually lit up in King Slime's small eyes.

"This method is so sinister."

"I love it!!!"

The flames in Little Skeleton's eye sockets flickered, striking while the iron was hot.

"Big Brother is truly wise!"

"This move will definitely ensure those examinees never return, and they'll be instant killed before they can even react!"

Little Skeleton rubbed its bone hands and asked in a low voice:

"By the way, Big Brother."

"I have one small request, I don't know if it's okay."

King Slime was in a great mood. "Speak."

"It's just... for every examinee that enters, can you let me have a go?"

King Slime turned its head abruptly, its small eyes wide open.

"What?! You want to steal my kills again?!"

"It was like that last time, and you want to do it again this time?!"

"Don't even think about it!"

"I swear," Little Skeleton quickly raised three finger bones, "Big Brother, I swear, this time I definitely won't steal your kills."

"I was just new then, ignorant. Big Brother, don't hold a grudge."

"Look, after the examinee enters, Big Brother, let me have a go first; the examinee won't die."

"Then Big Brother can blow them up in one go, clean and neat, showing how mighty and domineering you are."

King Slime was flattered, its dragon wings spreading out.

It snorted with some affectation.

"Fine, fine, who told me to be your Big Brother."

"But just once, don't think about more!"

The flames in Little Skeleton's eye sockets flared up violently, as if they were about to ignite with excitement.

"Thank you, Big Brother! Big Brother is the best!"

King Slime was even more flattered, continuing to slap its own face wildly, Spliting Slime.

Soon.

The entrance of the dungeon was covered in Slime that King Slime had Split.

...

Meanwhile.

The staging area outside the dungeon.

"Attention, all examinees."

Examiner Fan Zhiyuan stood up, his voice resonant.

"The Guardian dungeon will open in 60 seconds!"

"Please adjust your state and enter in an orderly queue."

As soon as the words fell.

All the examinees became nervous.

Star Academy.

That was a legendary university!

Getting into Star Academy meant half a foot was already in the ranks of the top powerhouses!

And now,

One only needed to defeat a Slime and a Skeleton Soldier.

To obtain such a spot.

It was simply a free-point question!!

Everyone stared at the light screen inside the Guardian dungeon.

But just then,

The image inside the dungeon appeared on the light screen in mid-air.

King Slime was frantically hitting itself.

Everyone was stunned.

"This... what is the Slime doing?"

"Hitting itself?"

"What kind of operation is this?"

Someone rubbed their eyes, looking at the light screen in disbelief.

"And... don't you think this Slime is a bit strange?"

"Its shape... why does it look like a dragon?"

"And that Skeleton Soldier, why does it have demon horns on its head?"

"This doesn't look right at all, does it?"

"..."

Shanji, who was originally squeezed to the front of the queue, changed his expression instantly after seeing the image on the light screen.

He immediately took several steps back, retreating directly to the back of the crowd.

The examinees beside him saw this scene and immediately laughed.

"Shanji, are you scared?"

"It's just a Slime, and you're this scared?"

"Didn't you just say you wanted to be the first one in?"

Shanji wasn't angry; instead, he started to provoke that examinee.

"If you can, you go."

The examinee was stunned, then sneered.

"I'll go then. It's just a Slime; should I avoid its edge?"

After speaking,

He walked straight toward the teleportation channel.

The surrounding examinees cleared a path one after another.

Many people started to jeer.

"Go for it, beat him!"

"Let us see your strength!"

The examinee waved his hand triumphantly, then stepped into the teleportation channel.

All the examinees raised their heads and looked at the light screen in mid-air.

They really needed someone to test Lu Yuan's caliber for them.

...

Backstage monitoring room.

Commander Xu Tianjiao and Admissions Officer Han Feiyan also stared at the monitoring screen, their brows slightly furrowed.

Commander Xu Tianjiao asked suspiciously, "What is this Slime doing?"

"What kind of tactic is this?"

Admissions Officer Han Feiyan also looked at City Lord Lu Feng, who was standing to the side.

"City Lord Lu Feng, your son is..."

After Lu Yuan entered the dungeon, not only was he not normal.

His two Magic Pets were also very abnormal.

City Lord Lu Feng chuckled, deliberately holding back the answer.

"You'll know in a moment."

...

Guardian dungeon,

That confident examinee had just entered the Guardian dungeon.

However.

Before he could even see what was in front of him.

His entire field of vision was filled with a sky-high flame.

Subsequently, darkness fell before his eyes.

The next second.

When he reacted, he had already appeared outside the teleportation channel.

The other examinees were also dumbfounded at the same time.

"Brother, what happened?"

"What happened inside?"

"I don't know either..."

The examinee stood there with a bewildered expression, many question marks popping up over his head.

?????

What's the situation?

What happened?

How was I instant killed?

Shanji and Lu Yuan's other lackeys stood behind the crowd, their mouths twitching as they struggled to hold back laughter.

"Pfft..."

"Too sinister, this Slime is really too sinister!"

"Planting mines at the entrance, who can withstand this?"

"Who could have thought that the Slime's Slime was the biggest killing move!"

After all,

If not seen with one's own eyes, who would believe that the Slime tissue Split by a Slime would be so powerful.

...

Backstage monitoring room.

Commander Xu Tianjiao was completely stunned.

"What the hell? What's the situation?"

Admissions Officer Han Feiyan was also completely shocked.

He immediately turned to the staff in the monitoring room.

"Quick, I want to see the recording!"

Soon,

The image on the small screen in the monitoring room began to reverse.

It returned to the moment the examinee just stepped into the dungeon.

At 10x slow motion,

One could clearly see that after the examinee entered the dungeon, he stepped on a piece of Slime Split by the Slime.

The Slime, which was still slowly squirming, suddenly began to glow red.

Then—

Boom!

Explosion!

The flames instantly enveloped the examinee!

His HP was cleared directly to zero!

Commander Xu Tianjiao slowly opened his mouth, his face full of disbelief.

"That examinee... was actually killed in one second by a piece of Slime?"

"How is this possible?"

"The key is, there are so many pieces of Slime at the entrance; what if each one has this kind of power???"

All the examiners backstage stared fixedly at the screen.

At the King Slime, who was standing with its hands on its hips, looking triumphant.

They suddenly felt their scalps tingling.
