Chapter 46: Chapter 46: He Can’t Possibly Know Tier Four Magic Too, Can He?
"That’s a bit exaggerated!"
"This year in Dongjiang, we have a super dark horse right in the first round of the exam!"
"Not just a dark horse, it’s a celestial horse!"
Countless people were talking about it.
From today onwards, the name Lin Yi has completely entered the sight of most people in Dongjiang!
...
On the other side, at the exam administration center.
"Mr. Li, the 1000 points this kid scored, is it a perfect score for this round?"
A subordinate asked.
Li Yuanjing nodded.
"Killing that Goblin monster within 10 seconds earns a perfect score."
"After 10 seconds, every extra second deducts 10 points."
"Once it deducts to 500 points, no more points are deducted as long as you can kill the Goblin within the 3-minute time limit of this round, you get a guaranteed 500 points to pass."
"I drafted this rule back then with Mr. Ye."
The Mr. Ye in Li Yuanjing’s words is the head of the Dongjiang Provincial Education Bureau—
Ye Heng.
Only, at this moment, he is in a meeting at the Imperial Capital.
"It’s been years since someone got a perfect score on Hell difficulty..."
Qi Guoguang remarked with some nostalgia.
Li Yuanjing also showed a reminiscent look in his eyes.
"For geniuses coming from top base cities like the Imperial Capital and Shanghu, getting a perfect score on the first round of Hell difficulty isn’t hard. However, in Dongjiang, we haven’t seen such an extraordinary talent in nearly a decade."
"This kid has set a precedent over the last decade."
The screen in the large conference room suddenly flickered.
At this moment, the replay of Lin Yi’s performance in the first round was about to be played.
Everyone was curious how Lin Yi passed the first round test in just 2 seconds.
Playback started.
The entire replay video, much like Lin Yi’s clear time, was only about four or five seconds.
But after watching the video, everyone in the conference room was dumbstruck.
"Play it again," Li Yuanjing also found it hard to believe.
He immediately instructed his team to replay it.
After the second playback began, Li Yuanjing added: "Slow motion!"
Under the slow motion effect, everyone finally saw what Lin Yi did.
Actually, there wasn’t much to it.
As soon as the Goblin monster appeared, five or six gigantic Fireballs the size of basins appeared in front of Lin Yi.
These Fireballs fired at high frequency, like a barrage, bombarding the Goblin monster in a straight line.
The Goblin monster’s health plummeted at a terrifying speed!
In just over two seconds, the health depleted completely.
When the Goblin disappeared, there were still seven or eight Flame Burst Skills that flew straight into the distance!
"Is this the second-tier skill Flame Burst Skill of the Flame Mage?" Li Yuanjing realized.
The first time, because it was too fast.
He even thought Lin Yi used some kind of Flame Magic Skill he didn’t understand.
How could it be like a fire dragon?
Now realizing, it wasn’t a fire dragon, it was the effect of countless Flame Burst Skills being cast instantly and bombarding consecutively.
Qi Guoguang nodded: "It is Flame Burst Skill."
"This kid has already completed his second class change, mastering a second-tier skill isn’t surprising."
Li Yuanjing continued: "What’s really surprising is how he managed to cast so many Flame Burst Skills with such terrifying efficiency, right?"
Qi Guoguang nodded solemnly.
As an advanced spell over the Fireball Technique.
Flame Burst Skill not only deals more damage but has an effect that the Fireball Technique doesn’t have.
That is, it ignores 40% of the target’s magic resistance when dealing damage.
With the Goblin monster’s high magic resistance, even he would abandon the higher-tier Triple Flame Spear, opting to use Flame Burst Skill.
It’s guaranteed to kill the monster more efficiently.
"Does he have some skill for rapid casting?"
Qi Guoguang shook his head: "A Mage’s passive skill Fast Casting, even at Tier 2, absolutely can’t have such an exaggerated effect."
"To cast nearly 20 Flame Burst Skills in two seconds, there’s only one possibility."
"This kid’s Flame Burst Skills are instantaneous!"
"Moreover, his mana value is very high, enough to support him casting so many Flame Burst Skills in such a short time!"
Li Yuanjing understood Qi Guoguang’s point.
"When he awakened his profession, he probably awakened some talent as well?"
Qi Guoguang confirmed: "Yes, and that talent probably allows him to cast spells instantaneously, maybe even enhancing the skill’s consumption!"
"Then it’s not surprising, no wonder he could reach this level in just 30 days!"
To everyone present.
The shock from the instantaneous Tier 2 Flame Burst Skills they felt was limited to Lin Yi’s age and his profession’s low experience.
Having just awakened his profession a month ago at 18 years old.
This battle power is quite abnormal.
But that’s about it.
Soon, the replay ended.
On the big screen, it again showed the candidates on the list who were under key focus.
Only this time, Lin Yi’s footage was placed directly in the center.
Li Zerui and Qi Xia Ying, the previous favorites to win, were placed to the sides, making way for Lin Yi in the center!
"I remember the second round is a rapid kill of multiple targets, right?"
"Yes."
"The first round tests the rapid kill ability on a single target for output professions, which is essentially a burst power test."
"The second round tests the burst ability on multiple targets."
"Honestly, the second pass is much harder than the first because most professions at the first class change stage only have a single target minor skill, almost no group ability."
"Even if there is, it’s generally attacking the main target, causing some splash damage around the main target."
"The second round will have 20 immobile, non-attacking Goblins, both having around 300 resistance, with only 1000 health points."
"For some legendary professions, if at this first change stage they have genuine AOE skills and methods, they would have a significant advantage in this round of testing."
Li Yuanjing had been discreetly eavesdropping on the discussions behind him.
A subtle smile formed on his lips.
His son Li Zerui’s profession might not have anything else, but has plenty of wide-area firepower coverage skills.
The rockets he used earlier were actually an AOE explosion damage.
This round, he might just take the crown!
As for Lin Yi, though Li Yuanjing held him in high regard, by his understanding.
For a Mage, Flame Mage, even a third-tier skill.
The Triple Flame Spear, at most just covers a larger area.
Three Flame Spears could hit at most three Goblins.
And the real AOE skill, is the Tier Four Flame Storm.
This kid couldn’t possibly know such a high-tier skill at this level, right?
Qi Guoguang, sitting next to Li Yuanjing, naturally sensed his old friend’s thoughts.
Heh.
Your son Zerui isn’t the only one with an AOE skill.
My granddaughter also has it!
Let’s wait and see, this second round, no matter what, we’ll take first place to make a comeback.
