Record-breaking, natural talent

“Look, everyone, what’s that?”

On the square, the crowd was bustling.

After the scene suddenly switched, it became quiet.

Everyone looked up to see a pitch-black screen.

As the camera zoomed in, it revealed a dense mass of Skeleton Soldierss!

And, opposite these Skeleton Soldierss,

There were also countless monsters!

“It’s the Skeleton Soldierss summoned by an Necromancer! The number summoned is too terrifying.”

“That’s Lin Xuan! Lin Xuan from Binjiang No. 1 Middle School!”

“He’s fighting the beast horde!”

At this moment, the entire Jiangcheng was shocked by Lin Xuan.

“How can he summon so many during the novice stage?!”

“Lin Xuan’s combat awareness is so strong; in such a chaotic battlefield, he can still find the best position to cast Corpse Explosion.”

“These Skeleton Soldiers’ attack power isn’t low; they can even last this long against a BOSS.”

“This Lin Xuan is even more imposing than generals in war.”

“…”

On the square, discussions continued without end.

However, the next second,

When dozens of Skeleton Soldierss simultaneously self-destructed,

The monsters were all blasted to low health.

Immediately after, the scene of them being finished off by other Skeleton Soldierss appeared.

All the spectators present widened their eyes and gasped!

“This is, damn, violent aesthetics!”

“The Skeleton Soldiers’ damage is so high, I’m so envious.”

“Mom, I want to become an Necromancer too!”

“…”

After the shock came admiration for Lin Xuan.

At this moment,

Some people looked excited, some were full of envy.

Even more had flushed faces, clenched fists, and a fervent look in their eyes.

But there were also those who, while shocked, carried a hint of worry.

“Oh no! That ten-meter-tall Frost Giant jumped in front of my cousin!”

Xu Yunyun suddenly exclaimed, but immediately realized her mistake and covered her mouth.

“What? What ten-meter-tall giant, Yunyun, what are you talking about?”

Xu Shan, seeing this, quickly comforted her: “Mom, it’s fine.”

“My cousin summoned hundreds of skeletons to gang up on the BOSS.”

“That’s good, that’s good. This Necromancer is just right for Lin Xuan; there’s strength in numbers, it’s safe.”

Lin Xuan’s aunt breathed a sigh of relief.

But her brows quietly furrowed.

Having lived so many years, she naturally understood the tone in the two children’s voices.

It was just that,

She wasn’t a professional, nor could she grasp too many things.

She could only pray for Lin Xuan in her heart.

Lin Xuan, of course, didn’t know of his aunt’s worry.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed forward, his posture straight.

The ten-meter-tall Frost Giant,

It was like facing a moving snow mountain.

The pressure was immense.

“It’s a pity, I really lack attack methods right now, otherwise, I would definitely duel you one-on-one,” Lin Xuan sighed softly.

Necromancer is actually a very comprehensive profession.

They can summon, and also possess powerful Soul Fire and bone-type magic attacks.

Furthermore, they also have soul and curse-type skills.

It’s just that his current level is too low.

He only has four skill slots, and no money to buy good skill books.

“I remember that if I become the top scorer in the college entrance exam, the school will reward me with 100,000 gold coins, and the Professional Association will also reward me with 100,000 gold coins.”

“This money should be enough to buy a suitable skill book.”

However, now was not the time to think about these things.

Lin Xuan stepped aside, giving the battlefield to Silly Cow.

Of course, the current Silly Cow naturally couldn’t solo a Level 20 Leader-grade Frost Giant.

All Lin Xuan had to do was stall it.

“Silly Cow, ram it!”

With Lin Xuan’s low shout,

The Minotaur, which had just been charging through the monster horde, suddenly accelerated.

Its giant horns, dozens of meters long, whistled through the air with tearing force.

The next moment,

In the BOSS’s terrified eyes, the giant horns collided.

Crack!

The Frost Giant’s proud blue rock skin was forcibly torn open.

“Roar—!”

This blow completely enraged the BOSS.

Even if it had a hint of intelligence,

Knowing it needed to target Lin Xuan, the summoner himself,

Facing Silly Cow’s attack,

It could not ignore it.

The two monsters began to fight.

Silly Cow, leveraging its size advantage, repeatedly inflicted damage on the Frost Giant.

The opponent was also clumsy.

It used skills to block Silly Cow’s position, causing a slow.

Lin Xuan wasn’t idle either.

He seized the opportunity, pulled over a few Skeleton Soldierss, and used Corpse Explosion.

During this time,

He also observed the changes in the battlefield.

Triggering Corpse Explosions from low-health Skeleton Soldierss in other areas.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosions thundered.

Lin Xuan’s martial arts exam score rapidly increased.

1300 points, 1400 points, 1500…

Every change in score represented one of Lin Xuan’s Corpse Explosions.

And every Corpse Explosion resulted in the death of a large number of monsters.

At this moment, Lin Xuan’s ranking shot up like a rocket to first place.

And he successfully surpassed the previous first place by over a hundred points!

Finally, in an artful display of all skeletons collectively exploding, the core area was cleared!

“Lin Xuan, he’s too abnormal.”

“With this score, he’s guaranteed to be the top scholar this year!”

“At this rate, Lin Xuan is going to break the record!”

“In Jiangcheng’s history, the current Deputy City Lord set a record of 1630 points, and there’s still one minute until the exam ends…”

“He broke it, he broke it! Lin Xuan broke the record!”

Everyone watching the live broadcast widened their eyes.

On the scoreboard,

Lin Xuan’s score reached 1650!

In the Giant City Ruins, Chen Yao and his teammates were also dumbfounded.

“This guy, he’s truly abnormal!” Chen Yao sat on the ground, leaning on his sword, looking unwilling.

He had studied swordsmanship since he was young and was very talented.

Facing low-level monsters outside the city,

He could kill them without using skills.

Now, having transferred to a Sword Cultivator, it was like adding wings to a tiger.

He originally thought he could make a name for himself in this college entrance exam.

He didn’t expect Lin Xuan to appear.

“Lin Xuan, he’s really lucky.”

Beside Chen Yao, a frail-looking boy with glasses adjusted his frames.

“In one week, he not only dropped a Magic Card that matched his skills, but also dropped equipment that reduced cooldowns.”

“I just don’t know what attribute that Magic Card has.”

“Magic Card?” The twin-tailed girl pursed her lips.

She remembered when, in the novice secret realm,

Lin Xuan almost instantly killed two novice BOSSes.

“Before that, he had only killed one Level 5 Big-Eared Rabbit BOSS. Is it really possible to drop a Magic Card?”

In the Geland Forest, at the very center of the examination hall,

A man in silver light armor threw away his greatsword and round shield, and plopped down on the grass.

“I’m not playing anymore, I should have known not to come to the exam.”

“I’ve already been pre-admitted to Mingzhu University, and I was forced to be used as a tank.”

The man said, opening his score bracelet.

“Ah! Sister Hong Ying, this score must be wrong!”

“Two thousand points! Did that kid clear the core area?”

When Lin Xuan’s score reached two thousand points,

Everyone could no longer remain calm.

In the invigilation room,

The people in the audience were restless.

If the exam hadn’t ended, they wouldn’t have been allowed to leave.

These people would have long since run out to contact the highest person in charge of their respective guilds.

Even the invigilators were stunned.

Due to the anomaly in the core area of the Giant City Ruins examination hall,

The teams in this examination hall that could have aimed for higher rankings all experienced a stagnation in their scores.

This was clearly unfair to them.

“How about we give these people some extra points for their performance?”

“After all, daring to enter the core area already demonstrates their courage…”

Just as everyone was unsettled,

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion,

The City Lord, the Deputy City Lord, and the mysterious silver-haired elder saw even more.

“Something’s wrong, very wrong.”

“Based on the information you’ve gathered, Lin Xuan’s talent probably doesn’t just have defensive properties.”

“Look, when Lin Xuan’s Skeleton Soldierss hit low-health monsters, they almost instantly kill the BOSS.”

“Since we can’t see the health bars, it’s easy for us to interpret it as Lin Xuan’s Magic Card, which makes the Skeleton Soldierss inflict paralysis, increasing their damage.”

“But that final blow that killed the Frost Giant, I can be sure.”

“His talent very likely has the characteristic of dealing damage based on the target’s lost health!”

“One talent, with two characteristics!”

“This is the hallmark of an S-grade talent!”
