66: Extremely dangerous!

Wang Changyuan actually knew very well that a Talent Potion could only raise a Talent's Rank, not promote it.

But he couldn't understand how Xia Qi had scored such a high mark.

Unless...

There was a mistake during the Awakening Ceremony.

What he Awakened was not an S-Rank Talent at all, but an SS-Rank Talent.

This possibility was actually more reasonable.

"When I go back, I'll check the Awakening formation. Maybe there really was a mistake."

Wang Changyuan looked at Xia Qi's name, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible there had been a problem with the Awakening Ceremony.

Inside the examination hall, the light of restoration shone on the remaining 169 examinees, and all their statuses were restored once again.

Yun Qingyue let out a slight sigh of relief, "Now I'm in second place. Entering Shengjing University should be no problem."

Yu Qiu's gaze was sharp, "It's a pity. If I could have killed faster, I wouldn't have been overtaken."

In this fourth round, she only gained two thousand five hundred points, killing five hundred monsters, roughly one monster per second, but she was still overtaken.

It could only be said that she suffered from not having area-of-effect abilities.

However, even so, her entry into Shengjing University was very secure.

The nationwide admission of five hundred ordinary students basically meant that being in the top ten of the provincial college entrance examination guaranteed admission.

At this moment, the Great Examiner's voice rang out again.

"The rules for the fifth round of the examination are now being announced."

"This is also the final examination of this year's college entrance examination. Whether you can reverse your ranking and get into Shengjing University depends on your own fortune."

Immediately, the remaining examinees pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

The fifth round of the examination had its own name.

It was called Beast's Frenzy.

All examinees would be teleported into a new space.

Defeating the dancing giant beast within the space would count as passing the examination.

Killing it would grant 10,000 points.

If unable to kill it, points would be awarded based on the damage dealt.

"The rules are simple, but in reality, I can only summarize this fifth round of examination with four words: EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!"

"So, you still have time to give up now."

After the majestic voice finished speaking, the remaining examinees' hearts tightened.

A giant beast that even the Great Examiner called extremely dangerous might indeed be very dangerous.

For a moment, some examinees genuinely hesitated.

They hadn't eaten pork, but they had seen pigs run.

These hesitant examinees had, more or less, heard news of the tragic nature of previous college entrance examination's fifth rounds.

The key was that all the examinees who made it to this round were top students from various middle schools, and no one wanted to lose face in the final hurdle and become a foil for others.

To enter or not to enter, this truly made people a little conflicted.

Xia Qi yawned idly. Unlike the others, he just wanted to finish the examination quickly so he could go to the wild and run two dungeons afterward.

After all, the entire examination felt like it had no difficulty at all.

Suddenly!

Xia Qi felt something was wrong. His left eye became sore and a little itchy.

After rubbing it, it felt even itchier.

"What's going on? It's a bit like the feeling on the first day of Awakening."

Thinking inwardly, if there was a mirror in front of him at this moment, he would find his left eye was covered in bloodshot veins, and his crimson pupils were like those of a malevolent spirit.

However, fortunately, his right eye had no reaction. He closed his eyes and rested for a while, and the sudden sensation disappeared again.

"I always feel like something bad is about to happen."

Xia Qi's heart tightened, and a strange unease surged within him.

Before he could think further, the fifth round of the examination began, and everyone was teleported into the Beast's Frenzy space.

"Crab... Crab..."

When Xia Qi opened his eyes, what greeted him was a colossal crab so large it blotted out the sky.

A rough estimate put its Physique at least a dozen meters high, its entire body was grass-green, and its two massive pincers constantly opened and closed, emitting clicking sounds.

To put it bluntly, anyone caught by those meter-wide pincers would likely be cut in half on the spot.

He cast his detection spell, and the opponent's attributes appeared before his eyes.

【Dancing Giant Crab (Boss)】

【Rank: 20】

【Strength: 500】

【Agility: 400】

【Intelligence: 300】

【Physique: 500】

【Skills: Disco Music, Earthquake Shock】

"Interesting, these attributes are really a bit abnormal."

Xia Qi temporarily put the previous incident out of his mind and began to immerse himself in the battle.

The Dancing Giant Crab's attributes were definitely over-tuned, and its massive Physique and weight were simply too much for ordinary examinees to handle.

"Double five-hundred attributes, and its Agility is still as high as four hundred points. This is no ordinary crab."

Xia Qi's Battle Intent was soaring at this moment. Facing such a colossal beast, he showed no fear, but instead was eager to try.

"Crab... Crab?"

The Dancing Giant Crab curiously looked at the little human in front of him. It was the first time it had encountered a creature that showed no fear of it.

"Stop crabbing! You're deafening!"

With a light leap, he floated into mid-air by relying on lightning energy. In Xia Qi's eyes, lightning flashed.

Purple Extreme Wild Lightning!

Boom!

Faster than a blink of an eye, the incredibly destructive lightning had already struck.

The powerful energy was resisted by the giant crab's shell, actually emitting the sound of metal clashing.

"Such strong magic resistance."

Looking at the shallow scorch mark on the Dancing Giant Crab's back, his usually infallible lightning attack failed for the first time.

"Crab? Crab!"

The Dancing Giant Crab, having been attacked, finally reacted. Its two meter-long antennae twitched wildly, its giant emerald-like pupils revealed a fierce light, and it swung its two massive pincers rapidly towards Xia Qi's body, moving so fast that it almost left afterimages.

"So fast!"

Xia Qi's eyes narrowed slightly. While summoning lightning with his mind, he quickly dodged sideways and backward, evading the extremely fast attack.

"Hoo..."

He exhaled a turbid breath. Dopamine rapidly secreted within his body, and Xia Qi rarely experienced the joy of battle.

This was an opponent worth fighting seriously.

Lightning come!

Amidst a roar, Xia Qi's face showed an excited expression. Instead of retreating, he advanced, counterattacking again with a powerful stance.

The Great Examiners were currently watching the examinees' screens one by one.

The difficulty of the fifth stage was truly abnormal.

They had no expectation that any examinee would clear it this year.

It was more about assessing the examinees' overall strength.

In this stage, the more damage dealt to the giant crab, the higher the score would be.

"The Yun Family's girl is still very strong, but I'm afraid she won't last much longer."

"Yes, and Yu Qiu, her speed is indeed very fast, but the damage from her dagger is limited. It's difficult for her to face such a huge beast."

"Hmm, the situation for the other examinees isn't too good either. They'll probably give up in less than a minute."

"Being able to last a minute is already very good. This is a Rank 20 boss, and it's in nightmare difficulty."

"By the way, how is Xia Qi doing? Quickly switch over to his screen."

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. He definitely won't have an easy time this round either. Let me see."

The Great Examiners chuckled as they switched the screen to Xia Qi.

The next second.

They all widened their eyes, looking at the screen in disbelief.

Xia Qi appeared like a Thunder God descending.

The entire room was filled with violent Frenzy Lightning.

The Dancing Giant Crab was submerged.
