Chapter 45: Chapter 45: The Name of Lin Yi Resounds Throughout the Province Today!
On the other side, Qi Xia Ying also wasn’t doing much better.
All along, her target had been Li Zerui.
Not only did they know each other, but their relationship was quite good.
To put it frankly, their relationship was as subtle as that between Lin Yi and Jiang Ya during these three years of high school.
It’s just that the gap between Qi Xia Ying and Li Zerui was far smaller than that of the former two.
In this first round of the exam, purely from a burst output perspective, Qi Xia Ying’s reserve of dozens of dazzling glyphs could ensure her victory when they all exploded.
She was the one who was determined to get first place.
However, a name called Lin Yi suddenly appeared on the leaderboard.
It instantly shocked her.
She was even somewhat dumbfounded.
Hesitation leads to defeat.
Just a moment of distraction caused her to lose three or four of her 26 dazzling glyphs she was controlling with her spiritual power!
By the time she reacted, it was already too late!
On the other side, Lan Ruoyi in her own exam instance also saw the name on the leaderboard.
Lin Yi!
Isn’t that the level 42 professional who was waiting with her at entrance No.1?
He actually passed the first round so quickly!
What terrifying output!
As for Zhao Kai, who had previously underestimated Lin Yi, he was now even more dumbfounded.
Because he already regretted it a bit.
Purgatory difficulty wasn’t quite suitable for him...
Because the goblin in front of him had only lost a layer of skin.
All his skills hitting the goblin felt like a harmless tickle!
The examiners are really twisted!
With such high dual resistances, who can take it down!
Instances usually don’t have monsters with such high resistances!
Compared to Zhao Kai, everyone from Jiangcheng First High School, class eight, who knew Lin Yi were all ecstatic as if on steroids.
Especially Zhang Shan.
At this moment, he was standing still against the attack of four or five goblins!
The Knight profession can go down an output route.
But it can also go down a defense route.
This time during the college entrance exam registration phase, professionals were to choose their role tendencies.
Output, Defense, Support.
Choose one of these three tendencies, then participate in the corresponding test.
Since it’s a national college entrance exam, it’s naturally covering all professionals.
You can’t possibly test a priest who only has healing skills on monster-slaying speed!
So Zhang Shan chose the defense role.
Right now, he felt full of strength.
He could withstand five or six more monsters at once.
All because this dude was frantically boasting to the examiners in charge of his area.
"Hey!!"
"The one ranked first now, that’s my brother!!"
"Hahaha! He’s really my brother, I’m not lying to you!!"
"Ah Yi, you’re amazing, first in the entire province!!"
The exam rules truly didn’t specify that candidates couldn’t shout loudly in their exam instances.
After all, the instance spaces are independent and won’t affect other candidates.
So this guy’s shouting left all the invigilators speechless.
They really wanted to say, yes, yes, we know, the one who took first is your buddy, but what does that have to do with you!
...
In the instance space where Lin Yi was.
He was a bit bored.
He plopped down on the ground.
Then looked at the scoreboard above his head, where he had just gained 1000 points.
This score was so perfectly round.
It made him wonder if he scored full marks.
Well, he wasn’t entirely sure if it was full marks, but he was certain he was first.
Because right next to the scoreboard, there was the leaderboard.
Now, roughly twenty seconds had passed since the start of the first round of assessment.
On this leaderboard, it was no longer only Lin Yi’s name.
Gradually, one name after another began appearing on the list.
[NO.1, candidate Lin Yi, time to pass first round: 2.36 seconds, points gained: 1000!]
[NO.2, candidate Qi Xia Ying, time to pass first round: 23.27 seconds, points gained: 877.6!]
[NO.3, candidate Li Zerui, time to pass first round: 24.88 seconds, points gained: 861.1!]
[NO.4, candidate Xiu Jia, time to pass first round: 28.79 seconds, points gained: 812.1!]
[NO.5, candidate Lan Ruoyi, time to pass first round: 34.03 seconds, points gained: 759.9!]
...
The list only displayed the top ten.
These ten who made it to the list were from the entire Dongjiang Province.
The true strong among the tens of thousands of candidates in this national college entrance exam!
Such a list.
Also appeared in the upper right corner of the big screen at the exam affairs center.
Even calm and collected, Li Yuanjing and Qi Guoguang were now a bit nonchalant.
The two exchanged glances, seeing the shock on each other’s faces.
Li Yuanjing asked, "Why hasn’t his footage been pulled out yet?"
Upon hearing the big boss’s question.
Instantly, the staff who had just promised to pull Lin Yi’s footage in 2 minutes broke into a cold sweat.
In a cold sweat!
To be honest, only a few dozen seconds had passed since then.
Less than a minute.
I can’t just accelerate the process!
It takes time!
But what can I do? He’s the boss, you just have to keep it to yourself!
"Reporting... report! Almost there!! Almost there!"
"I’ll go push it along!"
The person ran off in a flash.
Li Yuanjing looked at the leaderboard where his youngest son could only secure third place and could only offer a bitter smile.
"I never thought that in the first round, Zerui would make such a big mistake..."
Qi Guoguang sighed, "Xiaying too—she lost four or five of her glyphs."
"Seems this kid really gave them quite a shock..."
Li Yuanjing: "No kidding! Didn’t you see how he’s created a gap with your granddaughter who is in second place?"
"2 seconds versus over 20 seconds, that’s almost ten times the gap!"
"Let’s watch the replay later to see how this kid did it!"
...
Outside the first testing center in Tianhai City.
After the exam started and all candidates went in.
The crowd outside was still massive.
A large number of locals from Tianhai City came to join in on the excitement at each test center.
Plus there were teachers and parents from other base cities in Dongjiang Province, as well as some staff from the education department.
Most of these people would transport their students and children back home after the college entrance exam.
Outside each of the 22 test centers in Tianhai City, there was a giant Spirit Crystal display.
Displaying real-time progress of the current exam and related ranking information.
On the display screen.
Suddenly, a big line of words flashed.
[End of the First Round of This Year’s Exam!]
[First Round Rankings Announced!]
The next moment, name after name appeared on the leaderboard!
This outside leaderboard, due to its enormous screen, could accommodate ranking information for the top 100 candidates in the province.
After seeing the leaderboard.
Outside Tianhai City’s 22 test centers.
Countless people exclaimed!
The entire place burst into commotion!!
"Look, the first place!"
"A name I’ve never heard before!"
"Lin Yi? Is there a big Lin family in Dongjiang for professionals?"
"There is one, but it’s not a big clan. Who exactly is this Lin Yi??"
"Has anyone noticed this freakishly amazing record?"
"Wow, two seconds?"
"Yeah, the second place took over twenty seconds!"
