55: Chapter 55 A Gathering of Geniuses!

"2 seconds? Level 20?!"

"Is this a Mythic Class?!"

The moment the record appeared, the sound of gasping for air echoed throughout the entire venue.

This record time, even if it didn't surpass historical achievements, was definitely among the best.

After all, for true geniuses, the difference was only a matter of milliseconds.

While a 2-second record was astonishing, many Mythic Class Professionals could still achieve it.

After all, the simulated monsters in the first round were only Level 15 and were merely ordinary-grade monsters.

If it were a fully-geared Level 20 Mythic Class Professional, an instant kill was understandable.

"There are so many freaks this year."

Beside Lu Yin, Bai Luer couldn't help but complain.

Given her family background and legendary grade class, she felt that reaching Level 17 was already quite fast.

But there is always someone better; there is always a higher heaven.

Any Mythic Class Professional was bound to be formidable.

As time gradually passed, basically all candidates were able to pass the first round of the assessment.

The only difference was likely the length of time taken.

Soon, the second round began.

The moment it started, the leaderboard records were instantly refreshed.

[Xiang Cang (Level 20), Round 2! Time: 2 seconds!]

The only difference was that the number for the first round had changed to the second round.

2 seconds—it was still an instant kill.

Lu Yin looked at this record and fell into slight contemplation.

Being a Mythic Class himself, he naturally knew how monstrous his own class was.

However, other Mythic Classes certainly had strengths beyond his imagination as well.

At the very least, this Xiang Cang was enough for him to consider a major rival.

At least this output capability was already worthy of his attention.

If he could ignore enemy defenses, other monstrous classes could likely do the same.

After all, damage was categorized into many types: True Damage, Critical Damage, and Weakness Damage.

While Xiang Cang was holding the lead, the positions of many eliminated candidates were already being filled by new examinees.

Another name quickly caught people's eyes on the point leaderboard.

[Baili Qiansheng (Level 19), Round 1! Time: 1 second! Points: 30!]

According to past scoring standards, passing the first round within 5 seconds granted a maximum of 30 points.

The second round would stack on top of that within the same time frame; this algorithm determined the highest score after ten rounds.

In the past, Professionals with perfect scores were not uncommon.

Basically, any Mythic Class could reach the level of a perfect score.

But this year was different; an Infinite Mode was being used.

Powerful Professionals could test their limits here.

Even among Mythic Class Professionals, there would be differences in strength.

This Grand Exam would be able to measure the gap between fellow Mythic Class Professionals.

"Another monster has arrived!"

"The Baili family is already a prestigious family in our province."

"They have spent their lives believing in that deity; how could that deity possibly give its believers a trash class?"

In the waiting area, many examinees were discussing fervently while looking at the leaderboard rankings.

Great families had resources.

The deities they worshipped would naturally give the best responses; this was the gap between people.

But just as Baili Qiansheng's name appeared at the top of the leaderboard, a new record was refreshed:

[Ye Qingxian (Level 20), Round 2! Time: 1 second! Points: 60!]

When they saw that result, the scene erupted into an uproar once again.

In addition to the commonly known geniuses, during the Grand Exam, many descendants of hidden families would also appear in the world.

These hidden families had long heritages, and the foundations they possessed usually could not be measured by money.

"A dark horse has appeared!"

"These hidden families are too terrifying; they remain silent until they shock the world!"

Lu Yin frowned slightly.

These Mythic Class Professionals were indeed not to be trifled with; everyone's explosive power was shockingly strong.

But he wasn't too afraid, given his current accumulation.

The Infinite Mode was perfectly prepared for someone like him.

If it were really like before, with only ten rounds of assessment...

While he could still achieve instant kills, it might not have shown a significant gap.

Only by exceeding the limits of normal Professionals could his true strength be seen.

"The third round has started!" Bai Luer suddenly shouted.

The monsters in the third round were Level 20 elite monsters, and their strength was more than one level higher than the previous two rounds.

Many examinees with ordinary classes began to feel the strain in this round, and their completion times became significantly longer.

However, those few names at the top of the leaderboard still maintained a terrifying efficiency:

[Xiang Cang (Level 20), Round 3! Time: 3 seconds! Points: 120!]

[Ye Qingxian (Level 20), Round 3! Time: 2 seconds! Points: 120!]

[Baili Qiansheng (Level 19), Round 2! Time: 4 seconds! Points: 60!]

"Ye Qingxian has overtaken!"

"Passing the third round in 2 seconds—this output capability is too ridiculous!"

Lu Yin noticed that Ye Qingxian's completion time was even a second faster than Xiang Cang's.

It seemed this seemingly delicate woman might be even stronger than Xiang Cang.

The fourth round began, the monster level rose to Level 25, and the quality became Boss-grade.

From this round on, a large number of examinees began to be eliminated.

Countless people were teleported out, but naturally, no one paid attention to these losers.

Without surprise, the top ten spots were all occupied by Mythic Class Professionals.

Whether it was the rounds passed or the time taken, they were far beyond what a legendary grade could compare to.

After all, the essence was different; while equipment could bridge the gap...

If you can bridge it, others can bridge it just as well.

So, while no one openly criticized the grade of a class...

Everyone basically knew that the class grade could already determine a person's future achievements.

Just then, the broadcast in the assessment hall rang out:

"Candidate No. 11137, Lu Yin, please enter the assessment area."

Lu Yin took a deep breath and, under the gaze of countless eyes, slowly walked toward the assessment area.

Bai Luer pumped her fist from behind: "Good luck, Lu Yin! Show these guys what a true Mythic Class looks like!"

When Lu Yin stepped in front of the illusion tower, the scene before his eyes instantly changed.

This was a simulated wilderness battlefield, and the air was thick with the smell of blood.

[First Round of Assessment Begins]

[Target: Kill 10x Level 15 Ordinary Monsters]

Ten wolf-like monsters with hideous faces pounced from all directions.

Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, and he directly summoned ten Death Soldier.

Boom!

It was just a matter of a single round of basic attacks; the ten monsters were instantly killed.

[Lu Yin (Level 19), Round 1! Time: 0.5 seconds! Points: 30!]

The moment this result appeared, the entire waiting area fell into a deathly silence.

0.5 seconds?

This had already exceeded the scope of normal human understanding!

If the previous record of one second was already shocking enough, then this 0.5 seconds was simply challenging the limits of human cognition.
