Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Slaying the Golden-Winged Roc King! The True Xia High Command Takes Notice!
"Damn, this young man..."
"Huh?"
"Is this summoned creature really only level 1?"
"This doesn’t seem right. How is it that this summoned creature’s combat skills are so proficient? No offense, Huzi, but its sword-fighting style and evasive maneuvers are better than yours, right?"
"Shut the hell up!"
The person referred to as Huzi is a warrior under Li Qianye’s command.
Li Qianye himself is a Tier Seven assassin.
Everyone under his command is an elite among elites.
Especially Sun Hu, whose combat skills are considered the pinnacle of pinnacles.
He even achieved a terrifying record of 36 consecutive victories in the entire camp’s martial competition.
Almost invincible among the same tier.
Cross-tier battles are not impossible for him either.
At this moment, Sun Hu was watching Lin You on the screen.
His expression was as solemn as could be.
His hands were trembling slightly.
On one hand, as a fellow melee swordsman, he was an expert, and seeing Lin You’s combat performance sparked his fighting spirit.
On the other hand, he put himself into the scenario.
If he were to duel 1V1 with this summoned creature, it seemed he would gain no advantage in a short time!
Especially if he didn’t use various high-level skills and purely compared swordplay, he had no confidence to win decisively!
Seeing Sun Hu’s reaction.
Li Qianye was also somewhat shocked in his heart.
He glanced at Lin Yi again.
If this undead summoned creature didn’t have a mind of its own.
Then the truly terrifying one was this young man before him!
Without a mind of its own, the battling summoned creature was naturally controlled by the summoner.
And Lin Yi actually possessed such terrifying combat skills!
These couldn’t have been cultivated without experiencing thousands of battles!
And the key is, his profession is a Mage!
Not a Warrior!
This kid is quite the prodigy...!
...
The Imperial Capital, Education Department.
Top floor.
A huge conference hall, solemn and dignified.
However, there weren’t many people in the hall.
Li Qianye, even as the chief examiner of this exam, with a high military rank, did not have the right to sit here.
Those who can sit here.
Are truly the ones who can make the whole professional community of Xia tremble with just a stomp of their foot.
The main seat of the conference room, and the circle of seats around it, were completely vacant.
Because even those who could sit here had no right to sit at the main position or the adjacent listening positions.
On the second row, at the first two seats.
There sat a middle-aged man in a black suit and an elderly man, with white hair and a bent figure, in a Zhongshan suit.
The two looked at the large screen, watching the battle between Lin You and the Golden-Winged Roc King couple, without showing much surprise.
Those who stand at the top naturally have a different worldview.
"This promising young man, is he also first in the first four rounds of this exam?"
Although the elder was advanced in age, an air of authority could still be seen in his brows and eyes.
He raised the purple sandalwood cane in his hand, pointing at Lin Yi standing in the corner on the big screen.
The suit-wearing gentleman beside the elder gave a refined smile and said softly, "Yes, Mr. Meng, his name is Lin Yi, from Dongjiang Province, tied for first with Xia Yuyan and Lu Yu, whom you favored before."
"He’s a Mage, right? I see this should be a Necromancy Element summoning creature."
Mr. Meng hit the nail on the head.
The refined gentleman nodded, "Yes, so far he has demonstrated specialization in four different Magic systems. In the previous four rounds, he showcased Fire, Wind, and Ice specializations, and the spells used weren’t of low rank, all above Tier Four."
"This promising young man is not bad, although just an ordinary class, his specialization in the profession hasn’t lagged."
"He surely hasn’t slacked off in his daily practice."
"Maybe this year, he really has a chance to win the top prize."
The refined gentleman sitting beside Mr. Meng only chuckled lightly, "Oh? Does Mr. Meng think so highly of him?"
"But I think that what he’s demonstrated so far is just okay."
"He might have a chance at the top ten."
"But the top three, impossible."
"Compared to Xia Yuyan and Lu Yu, his class difference is too great."
"And as far as I know, not only are their professions of epic level, but their skill specializations are above Tier Five!"
The refined gentleman’s name is Xiao Xuanyi.
He mainly handles the admissions approvals for top-tier professional colleges nationwide.
Though his position is not at the vice-national level.
He is of full department head level.
Having been in this role for so long, his foresight is acute.
He’s seen too many geniuses.
Honestly, compared to those true monsters.
This Lin Yi is just so-so.
He doesn’t understand why Mr. Meng holds Lin Yi in such high regard.
In any case, he has a different opinion.
Mr. Meng didn’t refute, only lightly laughed as well, continuing to focus on the battle on the big screen.
The two bigwigs are having a hero debate over drinks.
The numerous high-level staff of the Education Department sitting behind them didn’t dare to speak up.
After all, this wasn’t the Dongjiang’s main exam monitoring room.
Working here requires discretion and caution.
If the bigwigs didn’t initiate a question, they wouldn’t add a word!
However, they also have their own views.
Though not as high as the insights of Xiao Xuanyi and Mr. Meng.
In their eyes, Lin Yi is already quite extraordinary...
After all, this is just a level 1 summoned creature!
As Mr. Meng and Xiao Xuanyi discussed, the situation in the instance took a sudden and drastic turn.
Of course, the ones experiencing the sudden turn were the Roc couple.
Both bosses were in a frenzy state, a state usually triggered when health drops below 50%.
But previously, Lin You’s move of slaying their chick with a single sword stroke.
Had driven them into rage, naturally entering frenzy while still at full health.
In frenzy, their attack frequency and damage significantly increased.
But this damn human summoned creature in front of them was insanely slick.
Out of hundreds of attacks, only one might hit.
And even if it hit, she didn’t seem to take much damage.
Retained her agility and swiftness.
In contrast, every time they suffered the necromancy-infused Sword Qi damage.
Both Roc bosses howled in pain!
The kind of pain life cannot bear!
Pain thoroughly intense, reaching deep into the soul!
So, even though the fight had only gone on for about three minutes.
The two Rocs were already far from their prime condition.
The feeling of dizziness and powerlessness kept attacking them.
What they didn’t know was, despite having more than 70% of their health left.
Their soul health was already within Lin You’s finish-off range!
Once more, necromancy-infused Sword Qi flashed with black light, accurately hitting the waist and abdomen of the powerless Roc bosses.
Two mournful cries echoed throughout the Northern Domain Snow Mountain.
Countless beasts and birds shivered in fear!
Feeling that the rulers of this snow mountain had perished!
From Lin Yi’s perspective, the two Roc bosses’ health bars, more than half-full, were rapidly emptied!
Then, the two enormous bird corpses fell atop the peak, three to four pieces of equipment shimmering with golden luster burst forth!
At the same time, Lin You’s body was illuminated with bright light!
She leveled up!
And leveled up by more than eight and a half levels in one go!
Under the amazed gazes of countless people.
Lin Yi walked over to Lin You and said something, under the helmet visor Lin Yi didn’t see, Lin You’s cheeks were already flushed.
Then, Lin Yi picked up the equipment on the ground and raised a hand.
An undead array appeared beneath the two large bird corpses, and under the infusion of black light, the two already dead Roc bosses opened their scarlet eyes again.
Flapped their wings, and took to the sky once more!
As the living, their avian lives had ended.
As the dead, their future was extended to eternity by Lin Yi.
