60: Chapter 60 The Shock of the Cracks! A Genius Emerging from a Rock?

Inside the giant meeting room of the Tianqi Building.

Representatives from various major universities and several giants from Long Province looked relaxed, engaging in quiet conversation from time to time.

This continued until nearly twenty minutes after the Professional Unified Examination had begun.

A notification sound rang out in the hall.

“100 teams/individuals have cleared the tenth wave. Would you like to enable the real-time broadcast?”

“Turn it on!”

Xiao Jiuming suddenly sat up straight and looked toward the giant screen ahead.

The university representatives below, who had been waiting for a long time, also focused their expressions and turned their gazes to the screen.

Although the score obtained from normally clearing the tenth wave only just exceeded the admission line for an ordinary Professional University.

To be able to perform like this at this point in time meant they were already the best among all examinees.

Their final results would certainly not stop there.

They wanted to identify promising talents from these potential students who might be eligible for early admission to their respective schools.

However, the representatives of the Nine Supreme Universities barely looked up, continuing their small talk.

Their targets were at least the true Prodigies who could clear the 16th wave or higher.

Among the people currently shown, there was still too much fluff; they weren't worth paying attention to yet.

There was no need to rush.

Screens lit up one after another, and the combat footage of various examinees appeared on them.

Most of the screens showed the collective participation of several team members.

Only four screens showed individuals fighting alone.

At this moment, a real-time leaderboard appeared in the very center of the screens, representing the top-ranking examinees currently being broadcast.

However, this leaderboard did not display everything at once.

Instead, it began displaying row by row, with 20 rankings per row, starting from 100th to 80th place.

Looking at the names and the number of waves cleared, the representatives of the Key Professional Universities below began to discuss excitedly.

“The 100th-place team just cleared the 10th wave. Three rare classes and two ordinary classes. The team composition is average, but they have this speed; it seems their coordination is quite good.”

“However, looking at their points, they aren't at the maximum value. They might have spent quite a bit of time on the 10th wave.”

“At this rate, it's going to get harder and harder for them.”

As the rankings gradually moved higher, the results of the various examinees also improved.

In the 60th to 40th place bracket.

They were generally around the 12th wave already.

The names here were being taken more seriously by the representatives.

One sharp-eyed person shouted excitedly.

“Look quickly! The 60th, 58th, 42nd, and 41st places are all from the same team!”

Hearing this, others followed the rankings of the names and found the corresponding rooms on the screens.

Under different perspectives on the screens, they indeed showed essentially the same content.

“It seems this team's strength is very balanced. Everyone's power is similar, and they actually all squeezed into the top hundred.”

Someone remarked with emotion.

Others also discovered a blind spot.

“There are five people in the team, but only one person's performance is lacking. Who is this unlucky fellow?”

But as the rankings displayed even higher positions, the person who had just questioned them was immediately proven wrong.

In the screen for 22nd place, named Wang Fei, it was the exact same scene as the previous four, and he was currently commanding the actions of the other four.

The four were surrounded by various glowing auxiliary statuses; they moved rapidly and coordinated with tacit understanding.

In just nine seconds, they successfully cleared the wave.

This boosted the rankings of all five people significantly.

Wang Fei directly reached the 14th position.

The man who had just questioned them was left dumbfounded.

“Five people in one team, all entering the top 100. What kind of god-tier team is this?”

Someone next to him reminded him.

“Those were the previous results. Now they have all entered the top fifty!”

The people around them all sucked in a breath of cold air together.

What a strong team!

When they looked at the screen and discovered the contribution ratios of the members, they were all somewhat confused.

“He's an auxiliary class, so how is his contribution value higher than the several DPS classes?”

“Strange! There's even an Apostle of Extreme Cold, a top-tier class, in there, and their contribution is only ranked second.”

“Could it be that this team's clearing speed is so fast all because of this auxiliary's buffs?”

Several people shook their heads, their expressions strange.

Could an auxiliary really be this strong?

Impossible!

Soon, the rankings were displayed up to the top 20.

Everyone's gaze also shifted away from Wang Fei's team.

They wanted to see the most elite group of examinees.

In the interval from 20th to 10th place, the actual improvement compared to the previous examinees wasn't that large.

It was nothing more than a slight influence from clearing time and the amount of extra point bonuses.

Most were still fighting in the 11th wave, and very few could enter the 12th wave.

However, after entering the top ten, the style changed abruptly.

Basically, everyone was in the 12th wave.

From 10th to 5th place, there were only slight point gaps.

Everyone could understand this.

It might just be the speed of clearing time or the contribution value of a certain individual that caused the shifts in ranking.

But starting from 5th place, the people in front clearly showed a massive gap compared to those behind them.

4. Wei Donglai, Points: 1572, Solo Mode, Cleared 11 Waves

This name and result immediately caused a massive stir.

“Which school is this Wei Donglai from? How can he be so fast in solo mode? I just calculated it—are these still maximum points?”

Many people shook their heads, all indicating they had never heard of him.

Xiao Jiuming's expression shifted on the rostrum.

It seemed that after being silent for two years, his improvement was indeed significant.

Although Wei Donglai's result was good, since no one knew his background, they all continued looking further down the list.

3. Han Yu, Points: 1689, Team Mode, Contribution: 80%, Cleared 13 Waves.

This time, quite a few people nodded in appreciation.

“I know Han Yu. He has a particularly rare top-tier class, and his own talent is very good. It's normal for him to have this result.”

“This contribution ratio is a bit exaggerated. It seems this team relies entirely on this kid alone.”

While some were still discussing, others continued to look at the subsequent rankings.

2. Sun Yu, Points: 1836, Solo Mode, Cleared 12 Waves.

This time, everyone's expressions became unanimous.

“This Sun Yu truly lives up to being a Divine-Grade class; he actually broke through to the 12th wave in solo mode.”

“I heard a few days ago that Sun Yu was a favorite for the top scorer in Long Province this year. He truly lives up to his reputation!”

However, not everyone praised his results.

A bald man frowned and muttered.

“With that class and those results, he's definitely going to a Supreme Academy in the end. What does he have to do with us?”

At his words, the representatives of the several supreme academies in the front row smiled knowingly.

There was nothing wrong with that statement.

Long Province hadn't produced many talents in the past few years. If it weren't for hearing that a Divine-Grade class had appeared this year, this row of seats might not even have been full.

With Sun Yu's performance, it wasn't in vain that all nine of the supreme academies had attended.

However, seeing that he was only second, they were all somewhat surprised.

This result actually wasn't first?

Could it be that in team mode, five top-tier classes were randomly grouped together and suppressed Sun Yu?

Their involvement also prompted the representatives of other Key Professional Universities to voice their opinions.

“We certainly don't count on someone like Sun Yu.”

“Exactly, Han Yu is more suitable for us. His clearing points are maxed out, and his current clearing progress is even faster than Sun Yu's.”

Someone analyzed while comparing the points of several rankings.

“The advantage of team mode isn't obvious yet. The further the waves go, the harder it will be to see solo players.”

A flash of light appeared on the screen, updating the last line of the record.

Someone directly exclaimed.

“Holy crap, this Zhang Jian is so fierce! Solo mode is actually as fast as Han Yu's team?”

Everyone immediately turned their gaze to the top of the leaderboard.

1. Zhang Jian, Points: 2112, Solo Mode, Cleared 13 Waves

This time.

Let alone them, even the representatives of the supreme academies were directly shocked.

Another solo mode, and actually even more powerful than Sun Yu?

Behind the nameplate of the Longyuan Combat Academy, a bearded man urgently asked those around him.

“Who has the information on this Zhang Jian?”

“I don't have it.”

“I haven't heard of him either.”

Several people looked at each other in dismay.

In this Long Province, was there still a Genius youth they didn't know about?

Did this Zhang Jian jump out from the cracks of a rock?

Xiao Jiuming's eyes widened on the rostrum.

He truly is someone who can clear dungeons above his level; he's even stronger than I imagined!

A terrifying Aura unconsciously radiated from his body.

...

The real-life college entrance exam has ended. I wish all the warriors who participated a performance like they're using cheats, achieving the results of their dreams!

The examinees in the book are still working hard to pursue their dreams, but the author behind the screen is already unable to sustain himself...

Three consecutive books have failed, and after eating instant noodles for over a year, this book is still difficult to continue.

From the data, there is a small group of friends reading silently, but there is no interaction or feedback. The author is terrified and truly has no confidence.

I beg you, good brothers, those who are still reading can leave a five-star review to let the author know I'm not working for nothing.

The interactive revenue there is truly too unsightly. Everyone, please help out!

I don't ask for any big spenders to personally pay for gifts, but if you could spare a few dozen seconds to help click on 'Power for Love,' that would be the greatest encouragement and support for the author.

This humble author bows here and thanks you in advance!
