The test was actually designed to assess the combat skills of the professionals.
Although a slightly higher level might help, for qualified professionals it wasn't a problem at all.
This setup had been used for many years without any issues.
Typically, the battle would last anywhere from ten seconds to half a minute.
This also revealed the combat abilities of the professionals.
But with Mark Lin, a problem arose.
He killed instantly—how could anyone judge combat skills like that?
"What should we do?"
One examiner asked.
Everyone turned their gaze toward the middle-aged man wearing a mage's robe.
He was in charge of the mage class exam.
But now, even he was unsure. The expected results hadn't been met, which was troubling.
At that moment, an elderly man entered the room.
"Ning, sir, why have you come?"
Several examiners immediately greeted him.
Frank Ning said solemnly, "I heard there's a new professional this year. I came to take a look."
The screen showed Mark Lin's image, and Frank Ning observed, "He seems like a promising young man."
The examiners quickly explained what had happened.
After listening, Frank Ning said seriously, "You all want to know just how strong this new Necromancer profession really is."
"According to the rules for rare professionals, their strength can't be accurately measured."
"Then we'll use the strength level of a legendary professional for the second test."
One examiner objected, "But that wouldn't be fair to him, and what about his points?"
Frank Ning smiled, "This kind of situation isn't unprecedented. There have been professionals who instantly killed monsters before."
"This time we'll make an exception. Let's consider him the top scorer of this test and give him the full 100 points for first place."
"If he passes the second test, he'll get an additional 1,000 points."
"I'll personally cover these points."
The examiners quickly protested, "Sir Ning, you're joking, how can we let you pay for the points?"
"We have the points ourselves. Let's just follow your suggestion and add a second test."
Mark Lin waited for a moment, and then another screen appeared before him.
A monster appeared again on the other side of the screen.
The monster looked exactly the same as before but its aura was much stronger.
[Candidate, please begin the second test: kill the monster before you.]
Mark Lin didn't find it strange that there was a second test.
He figured this must be the rule.
He had no idea he was being treated differently.
As soon as the screen disappeared, the Soul Flame was activated.
The mage monster in front of him immediately screamed in pain and died.
Just like before.
Another instant kill.
The examiners were stunned a second time.
Still, they saw nothing from his combat skills.
The monster, designed as a level 20 creature, was stronger than a level 4 professional.
Yet Mark Lin still instantly killed it.
"This skill… the future is going to be too strong."
"Could he be wearing some powerful equipment?"
"He's only level 16. No powerful gear, just pure skill strength."
"What now? Should we continue testing?"
Everyone looked at Frank Ning.
Since his arrival, he had been in charge.
Frank Ning shook his head, "No need. Move on to the second round of exams."
By this time, everyone else had finished the first round.
A majestic voice echoed in their ears:
"Main Combat Class candidates, the first round of exams has ended."
"632 candidates participated; 522 passed."
"Now announcing results."
Each person's ranking appeared before their eyes.
[Mark Lin, 0.1 seconds, Points: 100]
[May Zuo, 3.2 seconds, Points: 70]
[Snow Xia, 5.2 seconds, Points: 40]
Mark Lin was clearly in first place.
His time was only 0.1 seconds.
The second place was a professional named May Zuo, at 3.2 seconds.
Snow Xia ranked third, at 5.2 seconds.
Wangzihao, the young vice president of the Wang Dynasty Guild, ranked fourth, at 5.5 seconds.
The top three received points of 100, 70, and 40 respectively, while from fourth place onward, everyone got just 10 points.
Wangzihao looked at the ranking and was furious, his hair standing on end.
"How could I not even be in the top three?"
"I should be first."
"0.1 seconds? That's a joke, there must be a mistake."
"This result is godlike."
He wasn't the only one thinking this.
Many people felt incredulous when they saw Mark Lin's score.
Snow Xia looked at the rankings and said, "Dummy Lin is amazing. I won't give up."
Simon Gao wore an exaggerated expression, "The Boss is really the Boss—so strong. Can't argue with that."
Mark Lin unconsciously rubbed his nose, "Am I going a bit too far?"
What he didn't expect was that this seemingly easy first round actually eliminated over 100 people.
The majestic voice rang again:
"Main Combat Class second round exams are about to begin. Candidates may choose their difficulty level."
"Warning: casualties may occur in the second round. Please evaluate your abilities carefully."
"If you encounter danger during the test, shout 'forfeit' and your exam will end. Your score will be based on the point when you forfeit."
The second round test requirements were repeated.
The second round was like a dungeon, with three difficulties: Normal, Nightmare, and Hell.
Different difficulties awarded different points per monster kill.
Normal gave 1 point per monster, Nightmare 3 points, Hell 5 points.
The time limit was 30 minutes.
The second round tested who could kill the most monsters within 30 minutes.
