31: College entrance examination begins

Immediately.

All the examinees who were still queuing to enter the Tower of Trials were startled.

They hadn't expected the discipline within the examination hall to be so strict.

Just a few complaints were enough to get someone directly kicked out of the examination hall.

Those examinees who were originally somewhat dissatisfied with the rules quickly covered their mouths.

Afraid of having their examination qualifications revoked.

"The first stage of the examination officially begins, all examinees, please enter the Tower!"

Hearing the announcement.

All the examinees dared not delay.

They entered the white jade Tower one by one according to the queue order.

After entering the Tower.

They were randomly teleported to different spaces.

Song Ming was no exception.

The space inside the Tower was also empty.

After entering, a prompt immediately appeared before him.

"Examinee No. 1203 Song Ming, Profession: Aura Master, Current Rank: One"

"After clearing ten Ranks, you can pass the first stage of the examination."

"The fastest to clear ten Ranks will receive an additional 100 points."

At the same time.

Within the top Rank space of the Tower of Trials.

Several middle-aged men with stern and naturally imposing faces were looking at the personal information of the examinees inside the Tower.

They were all examiners for this examination.

Every one of them was a Professionals above Rank 80.

There were Warriors, Mages, and Support Professionals.

Such people were already high-ranking figures in the country, and now they were assigned as examiners for the college entrance examination.

This showed how much importance the country placed on the college entrance examination.

After entering the Tower of Trials.

All examinees' information was recorded on the screen at the top Rank of the Tower.

"Song Ming: Rank 20; Profession: Aura Master"

"Situ Xing: Rank 18; Profession: Berserker"

"Feng Yue: Rank 17; Profession: Shadow Assassin"

"......"

"Song Ming, a Rank 20 Support Profession Aura Master!"

"Does anyone know this little guy? How is his Rank so high? Which Family's young master is he?"

"Never heard of him. Among the examinees from East Ring Province, he should be the highest Rank one!"

"That shouldn't be. Aura Master is just the most common Support Profession.

It's only been a few days since his Awakening until now for the college entrance examination, how could he level up so fast!"

"The monsters in the first ten Ranks of the Tower of Trials are at most Rank 20. What should we do?"

"Let's just follow the normal procedure for now. After all, he's just a Support Profession, his combat power should be average!"

The examiners discussed for a while.

They decided to still follow the normal procedure.

Then they put Song Ming's battle screen in the most conspicuous central position.

They wanted to know what was so special about this Aura Master, Song Ming.

Tower of Trials, First Rank.

A white light flashed on the ground in front of Song Ming, and a monster appeared.

It was a small Goblin soldier holding a stone axe.

It was thin, small, and very ugly.

There was only a ten-step distance between the two.

A white light shield separated them.

There was also a three-second countdown on the light shield.

Song Ming first used an Appraisal Technique.

He found it was just a Rank 5 small monster.

Even so.

He was well prepared.

A lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit!

3... 2... 1.

The countdown ended.

The Goblin brandished its stone axe and rushed towards him, baring its fangs and claws.

Song Ming, however, directly activated Annihilation Aura.

Instantly.

The small Goblin soldier vanished directly from its spot.

Not even a corpse was left behind!

The monster died, and Song Ming was teleported to the Second Rank.

This time, three small Goblin soldiers appeared, all at Rank 5.

Death Decay Aura.

Again, an instant kill.

After more than 20 seconds, Song Ming arrived at the Tenth Rank.

The monster that appeared this time was a very tall Goblin King.

Rank 20.

It was the strongest monster within the first ten Ranks of the Tower of Trials.

However, under Song Ming's Annihilation Aura.

Not even a speck of dust remained.

Song Ming couldn't help but yawn.

"Are the monsters in this Tower of Trials all so weak? How boring!"

Top Rank space.

The examiners, who were closely watching Song Ming's battle screen, had expressions of shock on their faces.

"Is this an Aura Master?"

"He is indeed an Aura Master, but what skill is he using exactly?"

"Even a Rank 20 monster is instantly killed. I've never seen such an abnormal Support Profession."

"Is the Tower of Trials buggy? Why is it always an instant kill?"

"Impossible, everything is normal."

From the First Rank to the Tenth Rank.

The monster Rank and strength within the Tower gradually increased.

Therefore, those low-Rank examinees would gradually be eliminated.

Even if some examinees had a higher Rank.

As the Ranks increased, monsters with a higher Rank than him would always appear.

Generally speaking, a Rank 20 monster on the Tenth Rank was already sufficient.

Because the highest Rank of examinees in previous years was only Rank 18.

But something like Song Ming.

Had never happened before.

In that case, it seemed impossible to test Song Ming's strength at all.

It wasn't quite fair to the other examinees.

After all, his Rank was right there.

The examiners all looked at each other.

Then, they all, by coincidence, turned their gaze to the only Support Professionals present.

"Song Ming is a Support Profession, you tell us, what should we do?"

"No, is this a Support Profession?"

This senior Support Professionals was also very troubled.

Because what Song Ming displayed was not the strength a Support Profession should have at all.

What could he do?

He didn't know either!

At this moment.

The chief examiner, Wang Zhuo, appeared in the top Rank space.

After the college entrance examination began.

The chief examiner had been inspecting and supervising the Tower of Trials examination halls in various provinces.

To prevent any cheating.

Upon seeing Wang Zhuo arrive, the examiners felt as if they had found their backbone.

They all stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Lord Wang, why have you come!"

Wang Zhuo waved his hand, signaling everyone not to be so formal.

Then he looked at the personal information of the East Ring Province contestants.

When he saw that the first place was actually a Rank 20 Support Profession.

A look of surprise also appeared on his face.

"How is this Song Ming performing?" Wang Zhuo asked.

The examiners immediately told him what had just happened.

Wang Zhuo heard this, pondered for a moment, and said, "Song Ming is a Rank 20 Professionals, he indeed has a Rank advantage compared to others."

"But don't forget, he is a Support Profession."

"So, the first place in the first stage of the examination is well-deserved."

"How about this, open the Eleventh Rank for him, if he can pass the trial of the Eleventh Rank."

"And his total time still Ranks first."

"Then he will be rewarded an additional 500 points in the final settlement!"

The examiners all nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

After Song Ming killed the Goblin King, he waited for a while, and another prompt appeared before him.

"Proceeding to the Eleventh Rank, please examinee prepare!"

"Eleventh Rank?"

Song Ming was a bit strange, wasn't the first stage of the examination only ten Ranks?

Could it be that he had misread it just now?

However, he didn't take it to heart.

For him, no matter how many Ranks, it was actually all the same.

A white light flashed.

Monsters appeared before Song Ming again.

This time, it wasn't one, but two.

Rank 22 Berserk Orc Warriors!

However, the result was still an instant kill by one of Song Ming's skills.

No different from before.
