On the other side, Qi Xia Ying also wasnāt 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.
Itās 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 Yingās 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!
Isnāt 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 wasnāt 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 donāt 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 itās a national college entrance exam, itās naturally covering all professionals.
You canāt 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, thatās my brother!!"
"Hahaha! Heās really my brother, Iām not lying to you!!"
"Ah Yi, youāre amazing, first in the entire province!!"
The exam rules truly didnāt specify that candidates couldnāt shout loudly in their exam instances.
After all, the instance spaces are independent and wonāt affect other candidates.
So this guyās 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 wasnāt 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 Yiās 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 otherās faces.
Li Yuanjing asked, "Why hasnāt his footage been pulled out yet?"
Upon hearing the big bossās question.
Instantly, the staff who had just promised to pull Lin Yiās 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 canāt just accelerate the process!
It takes time!
But what can I do? Heās the boss, you just have to keep it to yourself!
"Reporting... report! Almost there!! Almost there!"
"Iāll 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 tooāshe lost four or five of her glyphs."
"Seems this kid really gave them quite a shock..."
Li Yuanjing: "No kidding! Didnāt you see how heās created a gap with your granddaughter who is in second place?"
"2 seconds versus over 20 seconds, thatās almost ten times the gap!"
"Letās 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 Yearās 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 Cityās 22 test centers.
Countless people exclaimed!
The entire place burst into commotion!!
"Look, the first place!"
"A name Iāve never heard before!"
"Lin Yi? Is there a big Lin family in Dongjiang for professionals?"
"There is one, but itās 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!"
