Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Perfect Scores in All Five Rounds, First in the Nation!
In the sky, Lin Yi had already seen everything happening below.
Despite being in the center of his Divine Fire Celestial Expedition’s nuclear explosion, he was completely unscathed and seemed at ease.
This elder, such formidable power!
What does he intend to do?
Could he be a relative or elder of Xia Yuyan?
At this moment, Lin Yi even considered dropping a Fire Element Forbidden Curse and retreating quickly.
No choice, this was Lin Yi’s instinctive reaction.
But after observing for a moment and realizing the elder showed no hostility towards him,
Lin Yi understood that it was his old habit acting up again, always expecting the worst.
Based on the strength this elder displayed,
even if he really summoned the Celestial Fall of the Eight Desolates,
he probably couldn’t kill him.
As Lin Yi indulged in wild thoughts,
the entire Noah Ruins began to violently shake.
The remnants of Noah’s Ark on the surface,
were the core of the entire instance.
And the Ark Reactor Core Module previously held tightly by Xia Yuyan,
had now crumbled into a heap of gray-white powder!
Without this Core Rubik’s Cube,
the remnants of Noah were completely vaporized and obliterated by Lin Yi’s Divine Fire Celestial Expedition.
So...
What happened in the City of Fading Light, Feilieka, was soon to be reenacted at the Noah Ruins.
Lin Yi saw numerous space ruptures appearing throughout the instance.
The instance space was becoming unstable.
Falling into deeper abysses was only a matter of time.
"Go!" Mr. Meng shouted from below.
The next moment, Lin Yi felt himself enveloped by a swath of green ripples.
After a dizzying swirl,
when he regained his sight, Lin Yi found himself already back in the subterranean hall where he had first entered the instance.
...
In the exam room.
Soon, the task force responsible for managing eliminated candidates sent a message to Li Qianye.
Just now, the last two candidates remaining in the Noah Ruins instance had both emerged.
Li Qianye’s mind buzzed with shock.
Ended?
Did it just end like that?
Only half a minute had passed since Mr. Meng came to shut down the broadcast device.
The fifth round, the final battle, abruptly concluded?
So, who won????
Fueled by immense curiosity, Li Qianye hurried to the previous instance entrance hall as quickly as possible.
He saw Mr. Meng standing at the instance entrance, speaking with another person.
And that person was none other than Lin Yi.
Meanwhile, there was a team of Priests responsible for treating and giving emergency aid to eliminated candidates.
On a stretcher lay a person with closed eyes, charred all over, looking quite miserable...
Barely recognizable as Xia Yuyan!
Who won and who lost.
The conclusion was already revealed.
Li Qianye took a deep breath.
He couldn’t understand it.
Ten-layer domain: protected by veto, how could she be injured to this extent?
If not for Mr. Meng’s intervention, would Xia Yuyan have already perished?
However, what happened inside the instance after the broadcast was cut off, he might never know in his lifetime.
Thinking this, Li Qianye silently made a decision in his heart.
Might as well wash away his memory and move on.
Otherwise, living with this unanswered curiosity for the rest of his life would be painful!
Mr. Meng glanced at Li Qianye.
Then surveyed the surrounding candidates.
He calmly announced the results of the assessment.
He pointed at Lin Yi: "He is the final winner of this round."
"Calculate the score with full marks."
After instructing Li Qianye, Mr. Meng turned to Lin Yi and said, "Kid, follow me."
Lin Yi touched his nose.
And glanced at the barely breathing Xia Yuyan on the stretcher.
Feeling a bit apprehensive.
In the end, he couldn’t hide it.
Sigh, did what he displayed still seem too horrifying?
Lin Yi followed behind Mr. Meng.
Passing by the candidates already eliminated earlier.
Lin Yi noticed they all looked at him with awe as if seeing a ghost.
And dared not come within three meters of him.
Lin Yi was a bit perplexed.
He didn’t think he was that terrifying, right?
These people should have only seen him commanding a Necromancy Calamity Legion, right?
Was such fear necessary?
Li Qianye saw this scene as well.
He watched Lin Yi follow Mr. Meng into the dark hallway’s depths.
A hint of jealousy arose in his heart.
If Lu Yu and Xia Yuyan crushed other candidates this round,
then Lin Yi crushed Xia Yuyan in the same way!
Their powers simply didn’t match!
Looking at the entire Xia from now on, the younger generation,
Lin Yi is the highest mountain, the longest river!
As Li Qianye stood dazed,
Boom—!
The entire underground space began shaking!
Then, Li Qianye was shocked to discover the entrance light curtain to the Noah Ruins instance was shrinking and collapsing rapidly!
What exactly happened in the instance??
What’s going on??
The next moment, everyone in the underground space received another Blue Star World notification!
[Instance Closure Notice!]
[Attention all professionals in Blue Star, the surface abyss 5-person instance: Noah Ruins has been permanently removed from the surface abyss instance sequence due to the destruction of the instance’s core Ark Reactor Core Module and structural damage!]
[Henceforth, no professional can enter this instance, and this instance’s final clearers will be listed in the global instance Hall of Fame!]
Li Qianye looked at Lin Yi’s departing back with Mr. Meng.
A deep shock appeared in his heart!
Huh?
The Noah Ruins instance disappeared completely??
The last person to clear it...
Isn’t it Lin Yi?!
Li Qianye knew that Lin Yi had cleared a certain abyss trial instance during the provincial exam.
And due to some coincidences, his name appeared in the global instance Hall of Fame.
Now, his Hall of Fame record had another entry??
Whoa!
...
"Kid, you did well and were very cautious, you know how to conceal yourself."
"But the things you hid made even me, an old-timer, take notice."
"Also, you were quite ruthless."
In the dark hallway, Mr. Meng’s words carried both appreciation and kindness.
This allowed Lin Yi to breathe a little easier.
It seemed this elder represented the true upper echelon of Xia?
Their attitude towards him seemed alright?
Even when witnessing his Transformation form, they weren’t overly shocked.
Well, it makes sense, with countless strong individuals across Blue Star.
A Level Eight Mutated Fire Element Magic might intimidate most people but not those who truly wield power and supreme strength.
Nonetheless, Lin Yi cautiously tested with a joke: "You’re not going to take me to some lab and dissect me, right?"
Mr. Meng paused in his steps.
Then laughed, "What do you think of us, monsters that eat people?"
"Also, brat, don’t get too complacent!"
"Though you’re strong now and have immense potential, if you die early, you’re nothing!"
"Do you know how many countries, organizations, and individuals are eyeing Xia with hostility?"
"Who can’t wait to get rid of promising young talents like you?"
