80: SSSSS-level combat assessment: Level 500 Lizard Demon General!

5S-Rank!

Su Yan's words were shocking.

The Chaoyang War God's eyes, which were originally filled with appreciation, visibly narrowed.

It seemed the War God's dignity was a bit challenged.

Inside the waiting room,

The entire audience was shocked!

It had already fallen into a massive uproar.

"What is Su Yan doing? He actually increased the assessment difficulty to 5S-Rank! Has he gone mad?"

"Uh, I might be a bit ignorant, but does our National College Entrance Examination even have a 5S-Rank difficulty?"

"There is! How could there not be? You know Human Emperor Li Yueqing, right? She is the specially appointed Human Emperor Tutor of Imperial Capital University!"

"But I heard the Human Emperor Class was just a gimmick Imperial Capital University came up with back then. It's been over a hundred years, and they haven't even opened a class yet."

"Gimmick my ass! That's because no SSS-Rank Talent had appeared yet."

"Look, I just saw the news two days ago."

"It said Imperial Capital University has already contacted Demon Slayer and confirmed that Demon Slayer will join the Human Emperor Class. It's definitely going to open this time!"

"Holy crap, is your news for real? Well, if it's Demon Slayer, he certainly deserves it."

"But Su Yan actually dares to apply for the Human Emperor Class too? What on earth is he thinking?"

"Although Su Yan's Talent is S-Rank Ice-type, making him a Genius among us,"

"even applying for the War God Class is as difficult as climbing to heaven. And he wants to join the Human Emperor Class? In the same class as Demon Slayer? Isn't he just asking for death!"

The discussions rose one after another.

Everyone was boiling with excitement because of Su Yan's startling decision.

On the high platform, the War King Teacher's eyes widened, staring in disbelief at Su Yan, who didn't look like he was joking.

In his thirty-plus years as an Invigilator, he had never encountered a candidate who voluntarily applied for the 5S-Rank Human Emperor Class!

No, not even anyone applying for the 4S-Rank War God Class!

But the War King Teacher was a War King-level powerhouse after all; this bit of shock wasn't enough to affect him.

He quickly cleared his throat and gave a frantic hint:

"Su Yan, 5S-Rank difficulty do you know what it means? This isn't child's play. Are you sure you want to apply?"

Just like the other candidates,

the War King Teacher naturally didn't think Su Yan could pass the Human Emperor Class assessment. This was complete nonsense!

As the provincial Invigilator, he hoped Su Yan could be more pragmatic.

After all, Su Yan was one of only two S-Rank Talent Geniuses in their Jiangdong Province this year.

Being able to get into Imperial Capital University would already be a great honor and enough to bring glory to their Jiangdong Province.

At this moment.

Among the front row of candidates, only Ye Yuan sat in his seat as if nothing were wrong.

With mockery in his eyes, he quietly watched Su Yan, waiting for his answer.

And so, under the burning gaze of everyone,

Su Yan spoke in a tone that was more certain than certain:

"Teacher, I'm really not joking. My dad is really about to pass away. Can we stop dilly-dallying?

I am absolutely, positively sure!"

As soon as these words were spoken,

everyone suddenly understood.

So Su Yan was rushing back to see his father for the last time and intentionally chose the highest difficulty?

This way, he would obviously be eliminated much faster!

Hearing this, the Chaoyang War God's expression quietly softened, and he praised:

"Not bad, such filial piety is commendable. It seems you really want to see your father one last time."

Beside him, the Head of the Ye Family, Ye Tianhai, also clapped his hands in admiration.

Now,

since even the Chaoyang War God had nodded, the War King Teacher had no choice but to announce loudly:

"Su Yan, assessment difficulty changed to: 5S-Rank!"

"Combat assessment, begin!"

"Thank you, Teacher."

Su Yan thanked him and hurried into the assessment area.

He looked truly anxious!

Rumble!

After Su Yan entered,

the heavy doors of the examination hall slowly closed, cutting everything off from the outside.

And at the moment the doors closed,

among the group of big shots on the high platform, laughter and chatter immediately broke out:

"Tsk tsk, quite interesting. Voluntarily applying for the Human Emperor Class—this is the first time in a hundred years."

"In my opinion, why would he need 5 minutes? 2 minutes will be enough!"

"Old Wang, you're still too conservative. Who knows the terror of 5S difficulty? Just watch, there will be a result within 1 minute for sure!"

...The assessment area was a combat room covering over two hundred square meters.

Su Yan entered and scanned the place.

It was somewhat similar to the training rooms in the Divine Punishment.

Equally empty and enclosed, it had props and wooden dummies for testing combat power, damage, defense, reaction, combos,

and combat techniques.

Of course, the strength of the walls and ceiling in this examination hall was far inferior to the training rooms in the Divine Punishment.

It seemed it could only withstand a full-strength strike from a War General Rank 5?

Thinking this, Su Yan had already walked to the center of the hall.

At the deepest part of the hall,

inside a monitoring room, another War King-level Invigilator came into Su Yan's view.

He was much older than the one in the waiting room, looking at least sixty.

His strength was naturally much more formidable as well.

"Candidate: Su Yan; Talent: S-Rank Ice-type; Assessment Difficulty: 5S-Rank..."

At this time, the War King Elder stood in front of the transparent window of the monitoring room and read aloud.

His voice was transmitted through the speakers into the assessment hall.

But when he reached the end, the War King Elder's brow suddenly furrowed.

He thought he had misread it.

He hurriedly took a magnifying glass out of his pocket,

and checked the candidate's ID card repeatedly until he confirmed it was indeed 5S-Rank.

"My goodness..."

The War King Elder sucked in a breath of cold air and muttered to himself.

Then, with a very strange expression, he looked up at Su Yan and said irritably:

"Kid, 5S-Rank difficulty? You're quite brave, aren't you?"

Su Yan replied calmly, "I'm alright."

"Heh, quite arrogant. Fine, you wait."

After saying that, the other party began to get busy at the control console.

Su Yan asked, "Teacher, do I need to enter the Land of Divine Punishment to verify my Rank, equipment, and such?"

The War King Elder shook his head while operating the controls:

"No, 5S-Rank difficulty doesn't have those tedious procedures. You only need to..."

At this point,

a roar suddenly came from overhead, and a violent airwave slammed into the ceiling made of special Materials.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ceiling slowly opened.

Four drones were seen pulling a burly and tall lizardman into the assessment hall.

The War King Elder's voice floated through the speakers above Su Yan's head.

"This is a Rank 500 Lizard Demon General. Its strength is roughly equivalent to a War General Rank 1 of our Human Race."

"Its characteristics are high defense and high health, making it difficult to kill. Of course, if you underestimate its attack power, it will tear your chest apart with one claw!"

"Listen carefully, Su Yan. The 5S-Rank assessment you applied for is to endure its attacks for half an hour."

"After half an hour, if your injury Rank has not exceeded S-Rank, you will pass the assessment. Congratulations, you will have made Human Race history!"

"Otherwise, you fail, and there's a 99% chance you'll become the joke of this year's National College Entrance Examination!"

"But you must note, when you encounter a life-threatening danger, I will intervene immediately. At that time, I will also declare your assessment a failure. Do you understand?"

Su Yan was about to answer that he understood, but the voice above his head rang out again:

"Candidate, please take your position. Hard group 5S-Rank combat assessment, countdown: 5 seconds, 4 seconds..."

"Assessment begin!"

Screech!

In an instant, the drones shook violently, and chains fell from mid-air.

Thud!

Immediately after, a heatwave hit him as the Lizard Demon General crashed into the center of the hall, kicking up a mushroom cloud of gray smoke.

Roar!

As soon as it landed, the Lizard Demon General shook its armor-like head and roared at the sky, its pair of fierce eyes fixed on Su Yan.

"Holy crap, it's starting already?"

Su Yan didn't expect the assessment to come so quickly. His eyes widened, and the words slipped out.

Damn, he still wanted to ask how the injury Rank was evaluated.

But since it was like this, it didn't really matter whether he asked or not.

Anyway, he wouldn't get injured!

But... Su Yan looked at the Lizard Demon General in front of him, feeling very skeptical and thinking to himself:

"Are you sure this is 5S-Rank difficulty? This is way too easy!"
