55: Lin Xiaoshan: It's like a dream...

Until it reached 3700 euler.

Only then did the rate of increase of the value suddenly halt.

Finally, it settled at 3750 euler!

At this moment, the entire Examination Venue, inside and out... was no longer the noisy and bustling scene it had been moments ago.

Instead, there was complete silence!

Everyone, except for Qin Yu, including Lin Xiaoshan and the others from Star Ring Academy, were completely stunned into silence by this Energy Level value.

Only Nie Yuxi herself, looking at the value above the instrument, showed a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

In her previous life, her Energy Level test during the College Entrance Examination was 2600 euler, and this value was a full 1150 euler higher than in her previous life.

Of course, Nie Yuxi was not too surprised by this improvement.

After all, the effort she had put in and the resources she had obtained over these past 20 days were far greater than in her previous life.

Not only had her level increased by two ranks compared to her previous life.

At the same time, she had also obtained the only seven-petal snow lotus and a blood flame crystal from the Novice Secret Realm [Ice and Snow].

If this hadn't resulted in such a qualitative improvement, that would truly be unreasonable.

"Although my Energy Level is only 3750 euler, which is slightly lower than that Silver Wolf King, however..."

"The comparison is based on actual Combat Power."

"With my current Energy Level, combined with my Battle Awareness and various skills, killing a Silver Wolf King is merely a matter of flipping my hand."

"Hmph, Qin Yu, your Mecha Master profession is certainly powerful, but unfortunately, you've met me. I, Nie Yuxi, never lose!"

She glanced at the value above her head once more.

Nie Yuxi was extremely confident... In the first comparison against Qin Yu an hour later, she would surely emerge victorious with ease.

After all, she had seen clearly back then that although Qin Yu had indeed won the battle against the frenzied state Silver Wolf King.

It was only after Qin Yu had fallen into a long, bitter struggle... that he barely managed to win!

As for her current self, although she couldn't claim to instantly kill that Silver Wolf King, she could definitely win easily!

Therefore, after making such a conversion and comparison.

Nie Yuxi felt that her first comparison was already a guaranteed win!

Thinking of the generous rewards for winning the comparison described by the Template in her mind, even though Nie Yuxi was an Empress Reborn, her heart was burning with excitement.

At the same time, she confidently thought: "Starting today, my name, Nie Yuxi, will once again resonate throughout the entire Dragon Country, and even the entire Azure Star."

"The sea of stars might still be far away from me now, but in this life, I, Nie Yuxi, will only become stronger in a shorter amount of time!"

Having completed the test, Nie Yuxi naturally did not linger too long inside the Energy Level Testing Instrument.

She turned around, a confident smile flashing in her eyes, and after glancing at Qin Yu, who was still waiting for his test below the stage... the expression on her face returned to its previous cold demeanor as she stepped off the Energy Level Testing Instrument.

It wasn't until she stepped off the instrument that the people inside the Examination Venue finally reacted... Subsequently, the entire Examination Venue erupted into commotion once more!

"3... 3... 3750 euler, damn, isn't that a bit too terrifying!?"

"What do you mean terrifying? This isn't even about being terrifying anymore, is it?"

"That's 3750 euler! Directly nearly two thousand euler higher than Lin Qingtian's Energy Level? Is the instrument broken, or am I blind?"

"Aren't both Nie Yuxi and Lin Qingtian SSS-rank Professions...?"

"Even among SSS-ranks, there are different tiers, but the difference shouldn't be this enormous, right?"

...

The exclamations of countless onlookers and examinees echoed through the sky.

Even the Examiners from the various great academies, who boasted of coming from major cities and having seen countless geniuses, were completely dumbfounded at this moment.

They absolutely could not believe that Nie Yuxi's Energy Level could be so high!

Even Lin Xiaoshan was the same way... "Th-th-this... 3750 euler? Plus a Qin Yu whose Energy Level must also be above 3500 euler... Heavens, is this small city called Jiangzhou really that bizarre?"

"Top-tier geniuses like this, rarely seen since the entire Azure Star's Era of Universal Job Transfer, usually don't appear, but when they do, there are two at once? And I happened to stumble upon both of them?"

"When the time comes, the higher-ups in the Academy, maybe even the Dean, will have to kowtow to me, right?"

At this moment, Lin Xiaoshan, who was serving as the Chief Examiner for the General Administration of Sports examination site at the back of the Examination Venue, was undoubtedly overflowing with joy and surprise!

He even felt a little dizzy.

It truly felt like a dream.

All along, Nie Yuxi had maintained a cold demeanor in front of Lin Xiaoshan, and furthermore, she hadn't revealed much about the abilities and Combat Power of her profession to him.

Therefore, prior to this, Lin Xiaoshan had always assumed that Nie Yuxi's SSS-rank Profession... was merely a relatively ordinary SSS-rank Profession compared to the powerful Combat Power displayed by Qin Yu's profession.

Precisely because of this, after "discovering" Qin Yu in the new secret realm, Lin Xiaoshan's attention toward Nie Yuxi decreased significantly.

The vast majority of his focus had shifted to Qin Yu... After all, Qin Yu's performance in the secret realm at the time.

Was truly astonishing.

He genuinely never expected Nie Yuxi to give him such a tremendous surprise!

Of course, as the saying goes, where there is joy, there is also sorrow.

Inside the Examination Venue, Lin Xiaoshan was happy... but several Examiners from the other three academies among the Dragon Country's Four Great Academies had faces as black as the bottom of a pot... They absolutely could not accept that Nie Yuxi, whom they had failed to recruit a while ago, possessed such heaven-defying talent, far exceeding their estimates!

To be honest, if they hadn't known that Nie Yuxi had already signed a Special Admissions Agreement with Star Ring Academy.

They would have shamelessly started another round of fighting with Lin Xiaoshan over her... But now, besides reporting Nie Yuxi's Energy Level data to their Leader, all they could do was stand by and stare.

Inside and outside the Examination Venue, the discussion regarding Nie Yuxi's astonishingly high Energy Level value—which shattered everyone's worldview—was relentless.

However, although the many Examiners were also shocked, the College Entrance Examination was still the College Entrance Examination, and they could not slack off.

Therefore, after Nie Yuxi stepped off the Energy Level Testing Instrument.

The assessment quickly resumed.

However, with Nie Yuxi setting such a high standard, even if one or two people who followed occasionally performed "brilliantly".

They failed to elicit any gasps of surprise.

Just like this, more than ten minutes quickly passed, and soon, it was the turn of the Seventh Group, which Qin Yu belonged to.
