Generally speaking, exam proctors must remain neutral and naturally cannot speak out recklessly.
However, first, Yun Chen's performance was simply too outstanding—praise slipped out involuntarily.
Second, having been an examiner for many years, he knew with over 90% certainty that this student was the top scorer of the college entrance exam at Dongyun High School.
Dongyun High School, as a key high school, wasn't outstanding across Jiangnan Province but was by no means weak.
If this student could progress further in the subsequent stages, not only would top ten in the province be achievable, but the chance to contend for the highest score was also very high.
In that case, building a good relationship with Dongyun High School and establishing a favorable connection would be quite worthwhile.
"The wheel of fortune turns... It's about time our Dongyun High School produces a true talent..."
"Hahaha..."
Principal Fang's face lit up with a brsmile, completely free of the previous displeasure.
Since the school's founding, the best college entrance exam result was only eighth in the province.
Now, with the first batch of results from the Xuanlong Country's ten-year compulsory education support plan released this year, the scale of the exam had expanded by an unknown multiple compared to before.
The number of qualified candidates was more than the total of the previous three years combined.
Everyone was like a dragon!
Everyone had the chance to succeed and advance!
No matter how you looked at it, this year's competition pressure was epic, hellishly difficult.
The value of a top ten or first place ranking was even higher than before.
"I think this young man Yun Chen is guaranteed to be in the top five in the province."
"Old Yuan, you're being too conservative. Definitely top three."
"The best record in school history should be broken this year."
The teachers nearby had begun to flatter.
"Xiao Jin, come sit here..."
Principal Fang had made a complete 180-degree turnaround in attitude, now speaking kindly.
Next to the principal was a vice principal who even gave up his seat specifically for Jin, the homeroom teacher of Class 3.
As the old saying goes, a child's success brings honor to the mother.
Now this homeroom teacher was basking in the reflected glory of Yun Chen.
However...
This half-time champagne popping was a bit of a loss of character.
Jin smiled along but inwardly cheered for his proud student.
"Those who travel a hundred miles have gone ninety."
The nightmare difficulty test was probably halfway done; the next stages still had some difficulty. He only hoped Yun Chen could keep steady.
Seeing Jin become the 'guest of honor,' the homeroom teachers of Classes 1 and 2 smiled bitterly.
Though helpless, they knew well that the students in Classes 1 and 2 probably couldn't be as outstanding as Yun Chen.
"Finally, I just hope the two brothers, Xiao Wen and Da Wen, who were first hoped upon, can make me proud."
The teachers continued discussing.
The students in the audience were naturally also full of discussion.
"Unclassed Drifter is too impressive, playing hundreds of basic skills from all classes creatively."
"Teacher, I want to be an Unclassed Drifter too. I won't become a Mage. I want to imitate Senior Yun."
"Looks like Unclassed Drifter is the meta answer!"
Many first-year students nodded.
But no sooner said than the student who riled for not advancing to Mage got scolded.
"I want you to learn from Yun Chen's monster-slaying techniques and thinking, learn how he skillfully uses skills to achieve 150% effectiveness, but you all missed the point."
"Leaving aside top-tier combat awareness, how can you, as a Mage, use daggers or hidden blades?"
"Can you use a sword?"
"Can you dual wield guns?"
"Can you fight hand-to-hand?"
"Let me put it this way: if you blindly follow the Drifter path, you might not even pass the entrance exam. Forget about grades, can you even survive?"
The first-year teacher doused those overheated students with a bucket of cold water.
This wasn't a game.
Even skills of the same level varied in strength from person to person.
Poor weapon mastery could be fatal.
To master hundreds of basic skills across all classes as an Unclassed Drifter, one had to be proficient with all the weapons those classes used — at least very skilled.
This demand was too difficult, almost cruel.
"Now that you say it, being an Unclassed Drifter seems way too hard."
"I'll just be a Mage honestly..."
At that moment, those who had been so hyped and wanted to follow the trend were finally hit hard by their own shortcomings.
Was Yun Chen the only one capable of walking the Unclassed Drifter path?
"Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die!"
Some students had this phrase mysteriously appear in their minds.
They needed to learn his combat skills and awareness —
Not blindly follow the trend and pick Drifter.
Someone wasn't convinced.
One person whispered, "I think Senior Yun still hasn't used his guns? Could he have top-notch sharpshooting skills?"
"And the battle rifle and shield on his back..."
"And the power gauntlets on his hands, could he also know hand-to-hand combat?"
"That's ridiculous... He's human. I don't believe he's mastered battle rifle, plus monk or brawler fighting techniques too!"
Previously, everyone had already noticed Yun Chen's equipment was unusually diverse and complex.
Now thinking carefully, if this guy had some crazy precise sharpshooting skill...
Even the teachers who tried to argue would not be able to accept it.
This youth wasn't born in a cultivation chamber; it couldn't be so exaggerated.
"Probably not..."
"After all, it's halfway through the exam and we haven't seen it used. His proficiency must be far lower than his swordsmanship, assassination techniques, and magic casting."
The first-year teacher said confidently.
But for some reason, at the end, his heart suddenly felt uneasy.
"It's over."
"So fast... The hall is completely cleared; all supporting goblin monsters have been wiped out."
During this short chat and discussion, the screen showed the hall — all goblin monsters that had come to support were already slain.
"Still so precise and beautiful, not wasting a single unnecessary strike."
"Huh..."
"He's heading down to the next underground level without resting."
At this moment, Principal Fang and the other teachers, who had just been smiling, suddenly became serious.
They furrowed their brows and straightened up in their seats.
"Reckless..."
"How can this kid suddenly lose his composure?"
Principal Fang looked displeased.
"This..."
Jin, who had been nervous all along, felt his heart beat faster.
He was rushing against time!
But... wasn't this pushing too hard?
After all, this was a college entrance exam; there was scoring afterward.
Provincial top students who made the top 100 basically chose to do the nightmare difficulty solo, and the rest depended on dungeon clearance time!
Right now... the highly praised Yun Chen did not choose to rest but directly pushed open the next gate.
This immediately snapped the previously relaxed atmosphere of the entire faculty and student body into intense tension.
