Chapter 47: Secrets of the College Entrance Examination! Evolution Complete! Rank B! Raging Sea Rock
Su Lin was somewhat surprised.
Ordinary cults, even if they frequently cause trouble, are still people at least; at most, they just resort to some shady methods.
According to Lin Xiong, the followers of this "Cult of Extraordinary People" cannot be called human beings; they are nothing more than a bunch of animals!
He never imagined that such a group of ruthless and insane individuals were hidden within the human race!
"What 'ladyboy'? That sounds awful."
Lin Xiong curled his lip in disdain:
"They revere the demons as a holy race, claiming to be the pioneers of the union between humans and the holy race. But according to official accounts, they should be called human-demon, or demon-human!"
"Uh...it doesn't sound that great, does it?"
Su Lin scratched his head.
"That's not the key point."
Lin Xiong did not dwell on this issue.
"The key is that these guys are far more cunning and treacherous than ordinary cults, and with the support of the demon race, they've actually managed to make a name for themselves over the years!"
"For example?"
Su Lin asked curiously.
"For example, about six months ago, they were in the East China Sea... cough cough, don't worry about the details."
"All you need to know is that by relying on the demon race, they've gained a means to more easily modify dungeons and forcibly turn them into abysses!"
Lin Xiong seemed to have almost let slip a big secret, but Su Lin didn't press him for details.
As I said before, Lin Xiong would naturally not hide anything from me when it was time to know.
"Dungeon Abyssification..."
What Su Lin couldn't understand was why this group of supernatural beings would do such a thing.
Who doesn't know that the Abyss dungeon has a high drop rate, high experience, and the bosses drop only top-tier items?
Aren't they acting like money-giving boys?
Is it going to destroy the Dragon Kingdom, or help it?
"Hmph, brat, do you think they're stupid? There's no benefit to them doing this!"
Lin Xiong guessed Su Lin's thoughts just from his expression and snorted coldly:
"You think that way because you're too strong at your current stage!"
"Imagine if it weren't for you today, the two geniuses of the Jiang family would have perished in this dungeon!"
"If similar incidents occur frequently, how many unsuspecting professionals do you think will die?"
"Moreover, they don't only know this one trick. They have many other methods, and each one is extremely insidious and ruthless."
"In short, the authorities have recently reassessed the danger of this sect and are taking it very seriously. It is estimated that there will be major actions soon."
Only after Lin Xiong reminded him did Su Lin suddenly realize what was happening.
Yes.
I'm so strong that I feel like the other person is a money-giving gift.
But what about ordinary professionals?
You're fighting through a dungeon, and suddenly it turns into an abyss! How desperate must that be?!
"hiss!"
"Those bastards are fucking wicked!"
Su Lin couldn't help but gasp.
"Don't worry, you're already this strong. You'll definitely get good results in this year's college entrance exam. Plus, with your background, joining the Demon Suppression Army is a sure thing. You'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with them in the future."
Lin Xiong said.
"Of course, you don't need to overthink it."
"While you are currently in the upper-middle range among those of the same level, you still have a long way to go before becoming a true powerhouse."
"Yeah, our level is still too low. Improving our strength is the key. As for these trivial matters, we'll handle them!"
Mid-to-upper reaches?
Su Lin keenly sensed something amiss with those three words:
"Uncle Lin, you're exaggerating a bit. My Blazing Python is already this powerful, and it's only considered mid-to-upper tier among its peers? I'm not bragging, but I'm only level 15!"
"Exaggeration my foot!"
Lin Xiong sneered: "I knew you were still hot-blooded at heart. It seems that my slash didn't teach you to be humble and impetuous."
"Cough cough."
Su Lin was a little embarrassed, but he didn't refute it: "Can you call yourself a young person if you're not arrogant?"
That's one way of putting it.
Lin Xiong nodded and said seriously:
"But Uncle Lin wants to tell you, you're not yet qualified to be arrogant!"
"Did you think those two geniuses from the Jiang family were weak during this dungeon run?"
"An S-rank fire mage and an SS-rank holy light support seem powerless against you? So, you think that so-called geniuses are nothing more than this?"
"A little."
Su Lin nodded, admitting it.
You're wrong.
Lin Xiong said, "The reason geniuses are called geniuses is because they have extremely high potential for growth!"
"What level are they at now? Only level ten. They can't learn many skills at all; they have practically nothing!"
"But once they reach level 20, their skills, equipment, and attribute points will increase dramatically, making their overall combat power more than ten times stronger than it is now!"
"After the second job advancement, you'll be a hundred times stronger than you are now! Every subsequent job advancement will bring about a dramatic improvement!"
"Your pet is indeed very strong at this stage, but if it doesn't evolve, its growth potential will ultimately be limited."
"Furthermore, even at this stage, professionals still possess methods to inflict extremely high damage!"
Hearing this, Su Lin nodded: "Like taking drugs?"
"Drug use is just the simplest method; there are many, many more that you don't know about."
Lin Xiong shook his head.
"Oh, right."
At this point, Su Lin suddenly thought of something:
"Jiang Feng once told me that during the college entrance exam, it seemed like some of the major families in our city were going to use some underhanded tactics. He seemed quite dismissive. Uncle Lin, do you know what happened?"
"Also, the rewards for this year's college entrance exam seem quite generous? And the rules have changed? What's going on?"
"You little rascal! You know quite a lot!"
Lin Xiong was taken aback by what he heard, but instead of avoiding the question, he patiently began to explain:
"The rules for this year's college entrance examination have indeed changed, but I'm not entirely sure why."
"All I know is that it seems to be related to a prophecy from the top, which roughly means that the world is going to be in chaos and many geniuses will emerge. The previous selection method was biased, and a more rigorous method will be adopted in the future."
"And as for rewards, the higher-ups have certainly gone all out!"
At this point, Lin Xiong paused, his expression extremely complicated.
Su Lin even saw... envy in it!
That's right!
I'm so envious!
This made him shudder!
What kind of reward could make Lin Xiong envious?
"Actually, Ah Lin, even if you hadn't asked, I was going to tell you!"
"You absolutely must get first place in this college entrance exam!"
"Because the prize for first place... is an advancement pill personally refined by the only eighth-rank alchemist in our Dragon Kingdom!"
"Advanced Pill?"
Su Lin was taken aback.
"Never heard of it?"
"without."
"That's right!"
"This thing should only exist in heaven; it's rarely seen on earth!"
Lin Xiong, that roughneck, surprisingly recited a line of poetry.
But Su Lin didn't have time to tease him; he was completely shocked by what he said next!
"As the saying goes, the greatest truths are the simplest. This elixir's effects are just as its name suggests: extremely simple, extremely unassuming, yet also extremely terrifying!"
"It can allow any SS-rank professional to advance to SSS-rank, without any side effects!"
What the hell!
real or fake!
Su Lin was stunned!
He had never heard of such a terrifying elixir in the world!
He even had a vague sense of crisis!
The main function of the Infinite Evolution System is to allow pets to advance in rank.
If others can also advance through certain means, then what advantage do I have left?
"Isn't it shocking? I found it unbelievable when I first heard about it."
"Once a professional's talent is awakened, it cannot be changed; this has been common knowledge for many years."
"But that's the world's wonder; anything is possible!"
Lin Xiong understood Su Lin's feelings at this moment, because when he heard the news, he was no better off than Su Lin.
He sighed and said:
"However, you don't need to overthink it."
"Such a miraculous medicine is naturally extremely precious and very rare."
"I heard that this pill was the result of ten years of painstaking effort by that alchemy master, and it was only developed half a year ago. During that time, countless manpower and resources were consumed."
"The cost of successfully refining one is astronomical, not much less than training an SSS-level professional."
"According to my information, only three of these pills were originally made. Of the ones that survive, besides the one given as a reward to this year's top scorer in the college entrance examination, only one remains!"
"As for the subsequent refining process, it can only be described as extremely difficult, because its core materials seem to require something from the demon god!"
Demon God!
Su Lin's heart skipped a beat.
That's a ninth-level expert!
Level 240 and up!
Therefore, this item is indeed extremely precious!
Of course, what Su Lin cared about most was whether it could help his pet advance to the next level!
It's important to know that the Infinite Evolution System allows pets to advance, increasing their strength tenfold each time. Once a pet reaches the SS rank, it requires a million evolution points to advance!
If this one advancement pill can save a million evolution points, I wonder how much time it can save!
"Yes, it can be used on any SS-rank creature."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer from Lin Xiong, Su Lin was overwhelmed with emotion!
We are determined to win!
I've already secured first place in this year's college entrance exam!
Furthermore, from another perspective, one's own system allows E-rank pets to evolve infinitely, and its value...
It's immeasurable!!
No wonder Lin Xiong said he couldn't handle it without hesitation when he mentioned that he could help his pet evolve, and in the end he could only bring up the Su family, who were known for their loyalty and bravery.
It's not that Lin Xiong is incapable of handling things.
This is a really big deal!
It's bigger than the sky!
"Alright, the news about the Advancement Pill is still top secret. Not many people know about it. Go back and digest it slowly, but don't spread it outside."
After Lin Xiong and Su Lin had digested the information sufficiently, they continued:
"As for what those big families are up to, humph, a bunch of cowards, nothing but dirty tricks."
With Lin Xiong's revelation, Su Lin quickly learned what those powerful families were all about.
It's actually not that complicated.
To put it bluntly, it's cheating!
The rules of the college entrance examination, whether for individuals or teams, are not absolutely fair and just, and there are loopholes that can be exploited.
For example, the simplest way to cheat is to win by sheer numbers.
Large families often have many offspring, with each generation typically having a dozen or even several dozen members.
Those who didn't awaken their great talents were treated as expendable pawns, and forced improvement methods were used to clear obstacles for the more talented disciples.
There are even some secret medicines that can boost a professional's potential, but they have severe side effects and can give them a temporary and extremely strong boost.
Of course, such cheating methods are strictly investigated before the college entrance examination. However, there are always countermeasures to policies. When family ties are involved, all sorts of secret methods emerge and cannot be stopped.
"In short, your Blazing Python is already extremely powerful at this stage. Even if your peers cheat, they would not be able to defeat you."
"What you need to do is never underestimate those professionals with S-level or higher talent; they might have their own ways to unleash their power."
Lin Xiong gave the instructions.
"Understood."
Su Lin nodded, but remained completely calm.
Since the Fiery Python isn't enough, let's continue evolving!
Anyway, there are still seven days until the college entrance examination. I am determined to achieve the Crimson Flame Dragon Transformation. With good luck, it is not impossible to advance to S-level!
Su Lin refused to believe that after two more evolutions, the Blazing Python's skill damage would truly reach the million level, and there would be any peers who could catch up with it.
If that's still not enough, Su Lin can only say one thing...
If it's not enough, it's not enough. Anyway, I still have two pet beasts. I'll wear you down!
"Alright, I've told you enough for today. In the next few days, you should level up as quickly as possible, and it would be best to reach the second job advancement."
Lin Xiong gave instructions.
"Although the minimum requirement for the college entrance examination is level 15, most people can reach level 18 to 20 in ten days. For those from large clans, it is common to reach level 30 and undergo the second job advancement by using some means."
"With Qingli being personally instructed by that person, I don't have to worry about her. Here's ten million. Take it and spend it where you need to. Don't be stingy. Money is just an external thing; turning it into your own strength is the key."
"If you have any other needs, feel free to ask. Uncle will make sure you don't lose at the starting line."
These words warmed Su Lin's heart.
have to say.
That's the advantage of having connections!
How could an ordinary, impoverished person so easily obtain so much confidential information? How could they so easily acquire millions of dollars?
"Uncle Lin, I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll accept the money. I don't have any other needs, but if you know of any special rare materials that can help my pet evolve, could you please keep an eye out for them?"
Su Lin knew that professionals generally didn't keep much cash on hand; they spent what they earned as they went. Lin Xiong's ability to come up with ten million was already quite substantial; any more would have been embarrassing for Su Lin.
"I don't have any pets, so I haven't really paid attention to this kind of information. Okay, I'll ask around for you in the next few days."
Lin Xiong nodded and agreed.
After a brief chat, Su Lin glanced at the panel and saw that the Xuanjia Shield Turtle had finally completed its evolution. He then said no more and quickly returned to his room.
Summon the armor!
With a thought, Su Lin summoned the Xuanjia Shield Turtle.
Do not!
The current armored creature can no longer be called the Xuanjia Shield Turtle; it's now... the Raging Sea Rock Turtle!
Swish!
As the pet space opened, a mighty beast strode out.
Still as steady as ever, still as lazy as ever!
However, the current armor has increased in size by a full circle, becoming a behemoth nearly three meters tall.
The tough tortoise shell turned into a rock-black color like refined steel, as thick and heavy as a mountain.
Deep blue, sea-like patterns meander across its surface, mysterious and unpredictable; upon closer inspection, they resemble flowing water.
Its eyes emitted a ghostly blue light, its four legs were like giant pillars, and its tail was like a whip!
Standing there, it resembles a rocky island in the sea, unyielding to all blows and storms, defying the winds from all directions!
"Awesome! So awesome! Just looking at this outfit, he's become much stronger!"
Su Lin was overjoyed and could no longer contain his anticipation, so he shouted in a low voice:
"View panel!"
