58: Chapter 58 Endless Mode!

As time passed, a large number of examinees finished their assessment.

Generally, passing the regular eight rounds allows entry into the Holy Hall Academy.

For those with legendary grade classes like Bai Luer and Zhao Gao, who have ample resources behind them, completing the eight rounds of challenges is basically guaranteed.

At this moment, Bai Luer stood outside the illusion tower; although she had passed the eight rounds of regular assessment and qualified for the Holy Hall Academy...

...looking at the terrifying record left by Lu Yin on the leaderboard, the gap between her and Lu Yin was clearly not something that could be bridged just by entering the same academy.

Slightly clenching her fair hands, Bai Luer made a decision in her heart.

"I won't let you leave me behind like this..."

She whispered to herself, her gaze becoming increasingly determined.

About another half hour passed, and all examinees had completed the regular assessment.

Some were happy, some were worried.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, the illusion tower issued a cold notification.

[Regular assessment finished, endless mode is about to begin!]

[Rule Change: Monsters will refresh infinitely; kills will grant corresponding points!]

[Ten monsters will be added every minute, and their strength will increase over time. The assessment ends upon death or voluntary withdrawal!]

[Current participants: 17!]

These 17 people represented the top geniuses of the Eastern Province, with the weakest being 3-star legendary grade Professionals.

As the notification faded, the atmosphere of the entire plaza froze.

Inside the illusion tower, the scene changed once again.

The original ruins disappeared, replaced by a massive square arena.

The surroundings of the arena were pitch black, with the faint sound of monster roars coming through.

"Has it finally started?"

Lu Yin stood in the center of the massive square arena, his expression as calm as a deep well.

With a slight thought, thirty Phantom Assassins acted as loyal guards merging into the shadows, silently surrounding and protecting him.

"Roar—!"

Accompanied by the first deafening roar, ten Level 25 elite monsters rushed out from the darkness at the edge of the arena.

They took various forms; some were as fast as lightning, while others were as solid as mountains.

But under the blade light of the Phantom Assassins, they couldn't even last a second before turning into white light and points.

[Points +100]

[Points +100]

...

Notification messages flashed rapidly before Lu Yin's eyes, but he didn't pay them any mind.

Outside, the huge light screen above the plaza had switched to the endless mode leaderboard.

Seventeen names were listed in order, but almost everyone's gaze was focused on the name at the very top.

[1st Place: Lu Yin, Points: 1000]

[2nd Place: Ye Qingxian, Points: 700]

[3rd Place: Xiang Cang, Points: 600]

[...]

Almost at the instant it began, Lu Yin's points rose to 1000.

"It's started! Lu Yin's points!"

"Holy crap! It went straight to 1000. Was it another instant kill in less than a second?!"

"In the endless mode assessment, the first round of monsters must be at least Level 30, right?"

...

Exclamations rose one after another, everyone looking as if they had seen a ghost.

endless mode was different from the regular rounds; monsters refreshed continuously every minute.

Furthermore, they would get stronger and more numerous as time passed.

This tested not only instantaneous explosive power but also sustained endurance and the resilience to handle tide-like attacks.

If the refreshed monsters were not dealt with within one minute...

When new monsters appeared, the pressure would naturally double.

Over time, within a few minutes, someone would be eliminated.

As minutes and seconds ticked by, the changes on the leaderboard on the giant light screen gripped everyone's hearts.

Fortunately, the intensity of the first round of endless mode wasn't too high.

Whether they were mythical-grade Professionals or legendary grade Professionals, the 17 examinees could handle it easily as long as their skills were sufficient.

Soon, in the second minute, new monsters refreshed.

Lu Yin's points increased instantly again and then froze.

This meant the newly spawned monsters were once again instantly killed by Lu Yin.

While the others' points were rising gradually, compared to Lu Yin, it was like the difference between clouds and mud.

As time flowed, the third minute, the fourth minute...

On the leaderboard, Lu Yin's name was far ahead, opening a staggering gap with the other examinees.

"Too terrifying... this simply isn't something a human can do!"

"There are so many Mythic Class Professionals in the illusion tower, why is Lu Yin strong to this extent?"

"Yeah, I feel like compared to Lu Yin, the other Mythic Class Professionals are all fakes!"

Amidst the crowd's discussions, while Lu Yin's points led with an absolute advantage, the others were also steadily growing.

Inside the illusion tower, on the square arena.

Ye Qingxian's white clothes were as pure as snow, her long sword dancing lightly as streaks of icy sword qi whistled out.

Everywhere they passed, monsters were completely frozen and then shattered into ice crystals filling the air.

Her movements were smooth and fluid, carrying an indescribable beauty.

Although facing dozens of monsters, she clearly still had strength in reserve.

On the other side, Xiang Cang held a massive broadsword, every strike carrying the power to split mountains and crack rocks, smashing the rushing monsters into pulp.

As the monsters accumulated, a sharp look suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Overlord's Heaven-Splitting Strike!"

Xiang Cang let out a violent shout, and the broadsword in his hand erupted with blinding golden light.

A crescent-shaped wave of violent energy swept out, instantly cutting all monsters into two.

His points surged instantly, overtaking Ye Qingxian in one go.

But after unleashing this strike, his breathing also became somewhat hurried.

Clearly, this fiercely powerful skill placed a significant burden on him.

However, taking this opportunity, Xiang Cang also gained some breathing room.

In the blink of an eye, endless mode had proceeded to the tenth minute.

The number of monsters per refresh reached twenty, and their level reached Level 35.

Some slightly weaker legendary grade Professionals significantly slowed down their monster-clearing speed, and some even began to get injured and eliminated.

As the first examinee failed, other examinees were also teleported out one after another.

On the high platform, the expressions of the three giants were even more serious than before.

Hong Feng said in a deep voice.

"Ten minutes is a turning point; the damage of his summons will soon be unable to kill the monsters in one hit."

"I'm quite looking forward to seeing how much more shock he can bring us."

And at the very moment Hong Feng's voice fell, a sudden change occurred on the square arena where Lu Yin was!

Lu Yin raised his hand again, and twenty pitch-black magic circles were instantly etched onto the ground.

Another twenty Phantom Assassins appeared, directly causing the three big shots to stand up in shock.

"Fif... fifty summons?!"

At this scene, even the usually steady Ye Fenghua, Commander's voice trembled slightly.

What shocked him, besides Lu Yin's ability to continue increasing the number of summons, was more about Lu Yin's current level.

One must know that Lu Yin was only Level 19 right now, yet he already possessed such terrifying power.

If he were to truly grow up, Ye Fenghua, Commander simply could not imagine what kind of sight that would be!
