Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Testing Faye, the Ranking List, and an Unexpected Person
A light breeze gently moved through the grass, and dew slowly dripped from the leaves.
Aiden carefully looked around to make sure there was no danger, then raised his arm and looked at the device on his wrist.
A map appeared, along with some important information.
[Two hours later, a special area will appear within the red part of the map. In the center of this area, a high-scoring boss will appear, and it will last for one hour.]
[Note: Defeating other examinees within the special area will earn you half of their score.]
[Note: When an examinee is in danger, they can voluntarily give up the exam and ask for help from nearby examiners. In this case, 80% of the score will be kept.]
[Note: If an examiner decides the situation is too dangerous and must intervene, the examinee who is rescued will keep 50% of their score.]
[Please collect the equipment inside the mini storage space.]
After reading these words, Aiden’s eyes narrowed slightly. It had to be said, the final exam of the Great Shaw Empire was still impressive.
The most important part was the design of the special area, which gave confident examinees a chance to fight hard.
Those who didn’t want to take risks would naturally hide somewhere else before the special area actually appeared.
Another interesting point was that before entering the secret realm, the staff had said that cooperation outside the special area was not allowed.
Now, combining that with the rule that defeating other examinees inside the special area would give half their score, examinees would end up in a situation where they couldn’t trust each other, even if they wanted to work together to fight the boss in the center.
The final exam was truly not simple.
Aiden carefully looked at the map and found that the special area was very far from his current position.
He first tapped the device on his wrist, and instantly, a silver light armor, a silver staff, and many potions appeared before him.
[Common Light Armor: Silver Rank, a light armor made by the Great Shaw Empire. It increases physical and magic defense by 5%, adds 50 to Constitution, and gives 200 extra health points.]
[Common Staff: Silver Rank, a staff made by the Great Shaw Empire. It increases magic damage by 10%, and adds 50 to Spirit.]
This kind of equipment was just trash to Aiden. It was the kind of thing that would fall on the road, and he wouldn’t even bother to bend down to pick it up.
But it had to be said, having all examinees use the same equipment ensured a lot of fairness.
The problem was, his four attributes were probably better than any other examinee.
That was 20,000 points!
Without the Abyssthe Flame Demon cloak and the Iron Dragon wings, Aiden had to slowly explore the area around him.
Although Shadow Stealth could speed up his movement, it used a lot of mana. And the potions given during the exam were limited in number. He would save them for important moments.
He had barely walked 100 meters when he heard strange sounds coming from not far ahead.
A wolf nearly two meters tall was standing there, its cold green eyes staring at him.
[Common Gale Wolf
Tier: Silver Rank
Level: 20
Health: 10,000 points]
The common Gale Wolf kept rubbing its right front leg on the ground, getting ready to attack.
But Aiden just looked at it and immediately lost interest.
A monster at level 20? He didn’t even want to use his skills. It would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito!
“Faye.” Aiden said softly.
Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Faye appeared right away. She could go in and out of the pet space freely, and she had just been sleeping.
“Master, master, what’s wrong?” Faye’s golden eyes sparkled as she continued.”Are you going to feed Faye? Great, Faye is really hungry.”
Aiden pointed to the common Gale Wolf in the distance and said.”Take care of that one first.”
He wanted to test whether Faye, as his pet, would also trigger the 10,000x critical hit system when killing a monster. If it worked, Faye’s growth speed would be unimaginably fast.
Faye nodded her head. Her golden eyes suddenly turned cold, filled with a terrifying sense of pressure.
Her powerful Draconic Pressure hit like a mountain, making the common Gale Wolf, which had been about to attack, immediately fall to the ground, trembling all over.
That was the power of Draconic Pressure — completely crushing ordinary monsters!
Faye’s wings suddenly flapped, and she flew up very quickly, reaching the top of the common Gale Wolf in an instant.
At this point, the wolf tried to run away.
But it was too late!
Boom!
Faye’s body hit the wolf like a cannonball. The sound of bones breaking filled the air.
With sharp dragon claws falling down, warm blood splashed onto the ground.
[Your pet Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Faye has defeated the common Gale Wolf. Experience +1000.]
[Obtained: Common Gale Wolf Fur x1…]
No critical hit was triggered.
Aiden sighed.
It was true — the 10,000x critical hit system only belonged to him. Even his pet could not trigger it.
But pets were different from Reclassers. Their levels could keep increasing.
So, for Aiden, the result of the test was within an acceptable range.
Faye lowered her head and carefully flew back. The light from her golden eyes slowly faded.
“Master, did Faye disappoint you?”
The little one looked upset and full of guilt.
Aiden quickly replied.”No, no, no. It’s not like that. Faye did great. Here’s your reward.”
He immediately pulled out some materials and let Faye eat as much as she wanted.
As soon as she saw food, Faye’s eyes lit up again. She forgot everything and became very excited.
1,000 experience points didn’t even change Faye’s level. Being a Mythic Pure-blood Dragon Clan, it was still very hard to level up.
Aiden thought for a moment. It would be great if there was a special item or skill that could use his experience points to help Faye level up.
But even if such a thing existed, it probably wasn’t easy to get.
Aiden shook his head slightly, pushing the thought out of his mind. He looked at the device on his wrist and his eyes suddenly widened.
[Final Exam Score Ranking
1st: Jade, 50 points
2nd: Logan, 45 points
3rd: Victor, 44 points
4th: Vespera, 43 points
…]
How long had it been? Jade had already reached 50 points?
When Aiden saw the second place, he frowned. That Logan guy had a higher score than Victor?
That was a bit surprising for Aiden.
“Need to speed up. Small monsters aren’t worth using my skills on. I should try to gather all the monsters around me and then use one Blazing Tornado to take care of everything.” Aiden said to himself slowly.
He wasn’t in a hurry at all. Whether it was Blazing Tornado, Demon’s Domain, or Thunder’s Wrath, they were all area-of-effect skills.
Even without Epic-grade equipment, his strong stats were enough to kill common monsters in an instant.
Without hesitation, Aiden immediately started acting.
He first sent Faye back to the pet space. Otherwise, if the nearby monsters sensed Faye’s presence, they wouldn’t dare to fight.
Soon, a dozen common Gale Wolves, and a few bigger ones, were being drawn toward Aiden.
Just as he was about to use Blazing Tornado to kill all the Gale Wolves at once, a loud whistling sound suddenly filled the air.
“Boom!”
A silver arrow appeared out of nowhere, cutting through the air and hitting the largest Gale Wolf directly.
“Howl!”
The wolf let out a painful howl, and the others quickly scattered in all directions.
Aiden stood still, his eyes narrowing slightly. He turned his head toward the right.
A examinee holding a bow was smiling and watching him.
“Hey, look at that. You came here just in time to see so many monsters gathered.”
“Thanks for helping me draw them out.”
The man quickly pulled out another arrow, pulled back his bowstring, and aimed it at Aiden.
“Whoosh!”
The silver arrow sliced through the air, barely missing Aiden’s ear and hitting a fleeing wolf with perfect accuracy.
Aiden showed no expression. He didn’t even blink as he calmly said:
“I don’t think we’ve met before.”
The examinee’s smile disappeared. He looked at Aiden seriously and slowly took two steps back.
A normal examinee would have been scared by his attack, but Aiden didn’t react at all.
He had completely seen through the man’s move.
“The Empire Hero, really is famous. But it’s a shame… you’ve picked the wrong person to mess with.”
The person you shouldn’t mess with?
Aiden remembered the message he had received yesterday.
A cold smile appeared on his lips as he slowly said.”Do you think taking my prey over and over again will really affect me?”
“Aiden, the final exam forbids students from attacking each other. If you touch me, you’re done!” The examinee with the bow suddenly shouted.
Behind him, a figure was flying quickly toward them in the sky.
“The device detects your position is too close. I’m reminding you again — except for special areas, attacking other examinees is not allowed. Otherwise, your qualification will be canceled!” A examiner shouted angrily.
His eyes never turned to the examinee with the bow.
Instead, he stared directly at Aiden, as if ready to cancel Aiden’s qualification the moment he made any strange move.
“Haha, give up, Aiden. Other people will follow you besides me.”
“Keep going, you can’t kill more than a few monsters!” The examinee with the bow said with a smug smile.
