35: Boring battles, abnormal results
After the results were announced, the examiners saw the shocked expressions on everyone's faces and a mischievous smile appeared on their own.
“Looks like they’re pretty shocked!”
“Nonsense, who wouldn’t be shocked seeing such a Prodigy?”
“Heh, if they knew how Song Ming cleared the dungeon, they’d probably go crazy!”
“Sir Wang, should we explain it to the examinees?” one of the examiners asked Wang Zhuo.
The latter shook his head.
“There’s no need to explain to them. I’ve been a chief examiner for so many years, and no one has ever dared to cheat under my nose.”
“You all saw Song Ming’s strength; these points are what he deserves!”
All the examiners nodded in agreement.
“What if some examinees still claim the results are wrong?” another person asked.
Wang Zhuo’s gaze sharpened.
“If anyone dares to question the authenticity and authority of the college entrance examination again, their qualification will be revoked, and their exam results will be voided!”
......
In the conference room, Shangguan Sheng immediately stood up from his chair after seeing Song Ming’s results.
“My heavens, 1610 points, that’s four times the second-place score!”
It wasn't just him.
The principals of other middle schools also stood up, staring intently at the ranking on the screen.
“Holy crap, how is this possible?”
“Monster, Shangguan, your student is too much of a monster!”
“The second stage of the exam only has a maximum of 500 points, but Song Ming actually tripled that!”
“Damn it, Shangguan Sheng, you’re Heaven-Defying!”
At this moment, Lu Jianzhong, the current director of the Education Bureau, who was seated at the head of the conference table, also couldn't help but flush with excitement when he saw the ranking on the screen.
Because Song Ming was ranked first nationally with 1610 points.
Even Wang Heng, who was in second place, was trailing him by 500 points.
Shangguan Sheng really wasn't wrong earlier.
Song Ming was very likely to win a Top National Scorer title for Yunhai City and for East Ring Province.
“It’s normal for you not to know these things; the college entrance examination is also very flexible!” Lu Jianzhong said, looking around at everyone, his gaze finally resting on Shangguan Sheng.
“If, during the exam, the monsters’ strength is too weak compared to the examinees, the examiners have the right to increase the monsters’ difficulty.”
“To match the examinee’s strength, and correspondingly, the points they can earn will also be higher!”
After the director’s explanation, all the principals suddenly understood.
And then they were even more shocked!
What did that mean?
It meant that Song Ming’s strength was so formidable that even the examiners found it outrageous.
That’s why he was able to earn so many points.
Even the Young Lord of the Capital’s Wang family and the Alliance of Mages was firmly suppressed.
Shangguan Sheng also clearly thought of this point. Although Song Ming had previously admitted that he was the mysterious person, seeing Song Ming’s Heaven-Defying results now, he was still trembling with excitement.
On the forum, the moment the results of the second stage were released, countless netizens exploded.
“Holy crap, Wang Heng can only rank second. Who is this number one?!”
“I thought An Ran, the Young Lord of the Alliance of Mages, would be a hot contender for the Top National Scorer, but an unexpected dark horse appeared!”
“He’s more than 500 points ahead of second place, is this even human?!”
They all started searching for information about Song Ming.
They discovered that before this, the guy named Song Ming had also achieved the first clear of Yunhai City’s hell-levelNewbie dungeon.
This shocked them even more.
An unknown guy, and an Aura Master support class, actually managed to suppress all the Prodigies in the country.
Is it real or fake?!
“The third stage of the examination officially begins.”
“Next, you will face wave after wave of monsters alone.”
“Each wave will consist of ten monsters. The final wave will be led by a boss monster.”
“Each wave of monsters will appear with a one-minute interval, lasting a total of ten minutes!”
“You get ten points for killing each monster, and if you kill them all, your points double!”
The authoritative voice finished explaining the rules of the third stage of the examination.
A light portal rose in front of all the examinees.
Behind the light portal, ten monstrous creatures with bared fangs and claws were standing.
Song Ming looked at the monsters beyond the light portal.
He found that they were all enhanced elite monsters of level 15.
Among them, there were also a few Spellcasters holding staffs.
The countdown ended.
All the monsters charged out from the light portal.
The enhanced Orc monster, wielding a greatsword, let out a ferocious roar and charged at the forefront.
The short Spellcaster monsters, clad in gray robes, stood in place, brandishing their staffs and firing Spell after Spell at Song Ming.
Almost simultaneously, the attacks from the Orc warriors and Spellcaster monsters reached Song Ming.
However, they were all blocked by the light shield in front of him.
Song Ming immediately cast an Annihilation Aura.
A black aura emitting a strong deathly Qi suddenly appeared, sweeping over the monsters in front of him.
All the Spellcaster monsters, along with the Orc warriors, turned into nothingness.
After doing all this, Song Ming remained seated, not moving at all.
When the examiners saw this scene, they all showed an ‘as expected’ expression.
“Don’t look, it’s boring!”
“Always one-shotting them, there’s no entertainment value at all!”
“Does this kid even have a limit?!”
They couldn’t help but complain.
Then they all turned their attention to the other examinees.
Observing the examinees’ performance during the exam was also one of their duties as examiners.
Based on the examinees’ performance, they would evaluate them.
Those who received an excellent evaluation would have no problem getting into the five major academies nationwide.
But Song Ming, this examinee, was very special.
He one-shotted every monster, no matter what it was.
This made it impossible for them to discern any combat talent in Song Ming.
So the examiners were very distressed about this.
At this point, they simply decided to ignore him.
The battles of the other examinees were much more interesting.
Situ Xing, wielding a greatsword, charged left and right through the monster horde.
His combat was broad and sweeping, yet he did not lack caution.
He was a good prospect for a combat-oriented class.
In contrast, Feng Yue had a much harder time in the third stage of the examination.
After all, her profession was Shadow Assassin, which was not suitable for dealing with large numbers of monsters.
She could only hunt them one by one, and her efficiency was far inferior to others.
Each of them seemed very busy and provided a lot of entertainment.
Unlike Song Ming, who just sat there when the exam started and hadn't moved since.
It was incredibly boring!
Yet, the examiners couldn't say anything to him.
After all, his strength was undeniable.
Every time the examiners saw Song Ming’s leisurely demeanor, they felt extremelydepressed.
“No need to look, Song Ming is first again this time.”
“If you ask me, why even make him take this exam? Just send him directly to the Ancient Battlefield Space!”
“The Ancient Battlefield Space is much harder than these exams, not to mention there are Prodigies from all over the country!”
“Hmph, once he gets there, he’ll definitely be taught a lesson!”
