Some people also believe that Lin Yiran is just putting on a show.

"One person, one knife, one-on-one against a level 5 giant python? She must be joking! She cheated, she definitely cheated! She must have been carrying snake-repelling equipment! The competition doesn't restrict the use of small, light firepower items, she must have brought something that can paralyze the snake's nerves!"

"Hey, can you be a little more reliable? Even if this giant snake was drugged with nerve-paralyzing drugs, its thick, tough body alone would be difficult for anyone to cut through. In a sense, someone with such immense power is definitely not an ordinary person. I think this person is a rising star. I'm in now, you guys discuss."

"But I looked at her information, and she's just a lowly logistics soldier. She can't even become a captain. I think she's just a bit too strong. I don't think she'll amount to much. I'd rather go after my crush!"

Lin Yiran couldn't see the comments on the screen. She only checked her score on her wristwatch. She had gained another 800 points. Not bad. After killing several black snakes and crocodiles, she now had 1,500 points, ranking in the top 50. With a little more effort, she should be able to rise a bit higher.

Lin Yiran started heading towards the next arena, killing a few mutated beasts along the way and gaining another 300 points. By the time she returned to her original route, someone was already attempting the third arena.

However, this level doesn't seem so easy to pass.

Before Lin Yiran could even approach, she could see the mutated vines waving in the distance.

"Holy crap! It's that thing again! It's that thing again! This thing is incredibly troublesome! Why did the Federation teachers include this in the competition? Aren't they afraid of draining our students' mental energy?!"

The officer standing guard nearby said, "No, you can do your best. If you can't manage, we'll carry you down."

The person who spoke then noticed that someone was hiding in the bushes next to them. No one could be seen in it from any angle, it was just a big bush. Who would have thought that a group of soldiers would be lying there waiting to rescue the students?

Lost in thought, the examinee was suddenly swept away by the mutated vines.

"Damn, another one is eliminated. Candidate number 233 is declared dead. Attention, candidate number 233 is declared dead." The scorer on the other side froze the score of candidate number 233. The proctor on the other side immediately leaped up in a strange posture and grabbed the candidate in a few quick moves.

When they came down, it was no different from carrying a little chick, but the examinee's face was full of resentment and deathly silence, and he didn't know who to vent his anger on.

His exams are over.

Upon closer inspection, Lin Yiran noticed that the instructor was bound with a thin wire. Looking up, she realized that it was a simulated training ground, completely enclosed, with steel wires running from top to bottom. The wires binding the instructors extended from above.

No wonder their movement was so strange; they went up in a flash.

More and more people are being eliminated.

The third challenge wasn't actually that difficult, because all the mutated vines were level three mutated plants, so they weren't very lethal. However, their sheer number was overwhelming, and... they would drain a person's mental energy. Therefore, it was reasonable to put this challenge last.

Lin Yiran looked up. Vines danced in the air, intertwining with countless earthworms to form a giant net. No student could escape from this web-like structure.

If you're not careful, you'll be wrapped up like a dumpling by the vines.

At this point, the exam will be declared over, because the students who are wrapped up have almost no chance of saving themselves, and if an external force breaks through, it will definitely be over.

More and more candidates were taken away by the invigilators, and the number of candidates decreased.

Lin Yiran was also in a precarious situation amidst the dense vines.

It wasn't that she lacked the ability, but there were many students here. If she rashly used her superpower, the throwing knife might injure other students. Fortunately, she was able to use her skills later when there were fewer students.

All the throwing knives spun around her, clearing a path for her—a path without vines.

Jin Shuo, who was clinging to a vine he hadn't yet cut, stared at Lin Yiran in disbelief: "Holy crap, that's incredible! You've got this as a sure win!"

Lin Yiran: "Thanks, I'm leaving now. Oh, by the way, there's a bunch of vines following you now."

Before he could even say "damn it," Jin Shuo swung his knife incredibly fast, thus avoiding being approached by the vines. He also couldn't get into the mecha, because mechas could never match human agility. If he got trapped by the vines, it would be even harder to escape from inside the mecha.

People over there were already firing at the vines with firearms.

Lin Yiran continued to twirl the knife rapidly, then swept past them at top speed. As she passed, the surrounding crowd exclaimed, "Holy crap? What's wrong with this person? Does she have a perpetual motion machine installed on her?"

"But a perpetual motion machine shouldn't be that flexible, right? How could it accurately aim at these vines and cut them off?"

"What happened?"

"You'd better worry about yourself first! Ah!!" Then he was carried away by the vines.

This level wasn't difficult for Lin Yiran, and she passed it quickly. When she looked back, she found that most people had failed at this level.

As things stand, the final hurdle is indeed the most difficult for them.

Lin Yiran didn't continue watching and started climbing the slope. There was a chess piece at the top of the slope. Picking up the chess piece would earn her a thousand points. These points were practically free, so why not take them? This was much more worthwhile than fighting mutated plant medicine.

So she went straight for the flag.

When she reached the top, two people caught up from behind. She thought it would be Sen Qi'an and Xie Qian, but it turned out to be two other military academy commanders. They immediately used a mental attack on Lin Yiran, but it was useless and only made her feel more difficult to move.

She simply pulled out two throwing knives and slashed them across their faces.

Sure enough, because of the two throwing knives, the two people fell back into the area with mutated vines and had to continue fighting the mutated plants.

Lin Yiran took the opportunity to pull down the flag, and then saw on her wristwatch that another thousand points had been added.

She now has 2,800 points.

Ranked third.

This caused quite a stir among those outside, who began speculating about the girl's identity and how she could be so capable. Then, upon seeing that she was just a lowly logistics soldier, they couldn't help but feel a little dismayed, even…

I think she was just lucky.

Because I've never seen anyone bring a perpetual motion machine into a competition before, this girl relies too much on technological weapons, to the point that she hasn't shown any of her own strength.
