The fourth round of testing officially began.
In front of Mark Lin, the third skeleton warrior appeared.
Three skeletons charged toward the level 9 and 13 monsters, one slash each.
Instant kill, no suspense at all.
A flash of fire light flickered in Mark Lin's palm, and a burst of flame landed on the mage monster at the very back.
Another instant kill.
From the start of the test, less than three seconds had passed.
Almost just the time of a single breath.
Nine Wolf Orc warriors and one Wolf Orc mage had already been killed.
"This…"
"How does this kid even have a third summoned creature?"
"This little bastard, why didn't he release it from the beginning? Why only now?"
"Damn kid, why so fond of hiding it?"
"Exactly, the stronger you are, the happier we get."
Frank Ning showed an expression of 'just as expected.'
Mark Lin involuntarily curled his lips—this so-called grand exam was too unchallenging.
It was even less exciting than his first time entering the West Sea Mine dungeon.
There was no surprise at all.
He was already getting sleepy.
Unconsciously, he took out a sweet potato and slowly began eating it.
"Not watching anymore, this kid is no fun at all."
"Yeah, better watch others."
For Mark Lin, once the monsters appeared, it took at most three seconds front to back to finish them off—definitely no fun.
Watching others was much more interesting.
Snow Xia kept retreating, leaving a trail of fire beneath her feet.
The Wolf Orcs chasing her kept stepping on the flames, continuously taking damage.
Flame Path!
This was a skill that only level 10 mages could master. Once used, it would create a trail of fire wherever the caster walked, causing damage.
Here, it worked very well.
Area attack was the mage's strength.
Although her level was not high enough yet, Snow Xia already had two area attack skills.
The other was Ice Rain, which had a slowing effect.
With both combined, Snow Xia rapidly cleared the Wolf Orc warriors.
In contrast, May Zuo was having a much harder time.
Rogues had strong burst damage, rich combat techniques, and many control skills.
Whether for assassination or one-on-one fights, they were excellent.
The downside was poor performance in group fights, as they lacked area attack skills.
So May Zuo appeared weaker here, clearing monsters one by one.
Arthur Wang still maintained his bold and aggressive combat style.
His huge two-handed sword swooshed loudly as he swung it.
Any of them were exciting to watch.
Only Mark Lin's side was extremely boring.
None of the examiners wanted to watch him.
He spent more time daydreaming than fighting.
"No need to watch anymore, he's going to be first again in the fourth round."
"Let's just see if he dares to join the fifth round."
"Although his points are far ahead now, if he skips the fifth round, others will catch up."
In the fourth round of the test, monsters appeared in batches of ten every minute.
Slower players were already facing more and more monsters.
After three minutes, some had given up on the test.
Too many monsters had them completely surrounded.
They were each teleported out of the Trial Tower.
Being eliminated in the fourth round was not shameful, and even carried some honor.
They were all geniuses who had no problem entering the Empire's top hundred prestigious academies.
Those eliminated looked pale—too many monsters, too terrifying.
"So scary, I thought I was going to get eaten."
"How could I possibly kill so many monsters in time?"
"I wonder how many can pass this round."
"I thought I was strong enough, but there's always someone stronger."
"By the way, that Mark Lin is way too powerful. I doubt anyone can stop him this time."
After the fifth batch of monsters appeared, Simon Gao reached his limit and had to give up.
As he came out, he overheard people talking about Mark Lin, and after holding back for a long time, he finally said, "Mark Lin is my Boss; of course, he's powerful."
"What's your name, brother?"
"No problem, my name is Simon Gao, from West Sea No. 1 High School," Simon Gao said loudly.
"Oh, so you're Brother Gao. Tell us how strong Mark Lin really is."
Simon Gao smiled and said, "Sure, I'll tell you."
…
He started talking nonstop. When he told how Mark Lin led him to clear the nightmare-level dungeon in ten minutes, everyone was incredulous.
How could that be possible?
No one believed him, thinking he was exaggerating.
But Simon Gao didn't care if they believed him or not; he just enjoyed telling the story.
He had been holding it in for so long, it was a relief to let it out.
As more and more were eliminated, fewer and fewer remained on the screens in the Trial Tower's control room.
In the end, only five were left.
Mark Lin, Snow Xia, May Zuo, Arthur Wang, and one Jim Feng.
[Jim Feng, level 15, Holy Swordsman]
The examiners were watching Jim Feng closely.
Wielding a longsword, he kept moving agilely within the monster's encirclement.
His movements were as nimble as May Zuo's.
Although each of his attacks didn't seem very powerful, the accumulated damage caused Wolf Orcs to fall one after another without noticing.
"This Jim Feng is finally starting to show his strength."
"I knew it—the Holy Swordsman is a rare class. That guy wasn't showing off at first; he was waiting here."
"He's probably from the Sword Cult clan, the Feng family. So he knows the rules of the grand exam, and that the last two rounds are key to raising points."
"That's why he only started to exert himself now."
"The Feng family once helped design the grand exam rules, so naturally they are familiar."
"Oh, Arthur Wang finally dares to activate Frenzy mode."
"He's not stupid. He's timing it perfectly—now is the best moment to unleash Frenzy."
The seventh batch of monsters appeared.
Arthur Wang let out a loud roar and activated his Frenzy skill.
[Frenzy: Duration 5 minutes, Strength +500%, Constitution +500%, Agility -200%. After Frenzy ends, enters a Weakness state lasting 30 minutes.]
In Frenzy, Arthur Wang's attack power soared by several times.
However, it only lasted five minutes, so he waited until the seventh batch appeared before activating it.
Five minutes would be enough.
At this moment, over 30 monsters remained on the field, and with the seventh batch, the number exceeded 40.
In Frenzy mode, Arthur Wang began to wildly sweep through monsters.
Every sword slash took down two or three monsters.
He started rapidly clearing the field.
