After Jiang Yuan left, the square returned to its previous lively state.
The students were all discussing what level of difficulty they should choose.
Without hesitation, Ye Chen chose the highest difficulty level, the Abyss, and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing directly from the plaza.
At the same time, a huge light screen appeared in the void.
"Lincheng No. 3 Middle School, Ye Chen, choose the difficulty level of the test—Abyss!"
The moment this message was released, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
"Lincheng No. 3 Middle School, Ye Chen? A nobody I've never heard of, daring to choose the Abyss difficulty level, is he just asking for trouble!"
"Wow, he actually soloed the Abyss difficulty ladder tower? Is that confidence or something wrong with his brain?"
"Just a clown trying to attract attention!"
...
It's worth noting that although you can choose the Abyss difficulty level in the Ladder Tower, almost no one chooses it!
Normal, Elite, Hard, and Nightmare difficulty levels increase progressively, at least preventing players from feeling hopeless.
However, the difficulty of the Abyss is several levels higher than that of Nightmare, making it utterly hopeless!
Generally speaking, the Abyss difficulty is prepared for those unparalleled geniuses who can easily clear Nightmare difficulty!
An average student might not even be able to get past the first level of the Abyss difficulty!
Just as everyone was discussing Ye Chen, another message appeared!
"Zhou Yi, Xingcheng No.1 High School, choose the difficulty level of the test—Abyss!"
The square erupted in cheers once again.
Xingcheng is the capital of Southern Province and is widely recognized as the most prosperous city in the province, boasting the most talented individuals.
Xingcheng No.1 Middle School is the best school in Xingcheng, and Zhou Yi, as the top genius of Xingcheng No.1 Middle School, has awakened the legendary profession of Thunder Mage.
Thunder Mages control lightning, amplifying the damage of lightning magic by 150%, and their class-specific skills are extremely powerful!
Unlike Ye Chen, Zhou Yi is a hot favorite to be the top scorer in Southern Province this year, and many people know his name.
"Zhou Yi chose to solo the Abyss difficulty; it seems he's aiming for this year's national champion!"
"Of course! Even if you only clear 50 floors of the Abyss difficulty ladder tower, you'll get more points than clearing 100 floors of Nightmare difficulty!"
“Zhou Yi is the one with real strength, unlike that Ye Chen, who's just a clown trying to attract attention! He might die on the first floor, he's practically playing with his life!”
...
"Jiang Tian, Xingcheng No.1 High School, the difficulty level of the multiple choice test is—Nightmare!"
Jiang Tian, the second genius of Xingcheng No.1 High School, awakened the hidden class Explosive Blade Master, whose strength is second only to the legendary class, so he only dared to choose Nightmare difficulty.
This shows what the difficulty of the Abyss really means!
"Yecheng No.1 High School, Ye Qishui, Xing Cang, Miao Yanyan, choose the test difficulty level - Elite!"
"Yuncheng No.1 High School, Xiong Chengwen, choose the difficulty level of the test questions as 'normal'!"
...
As more and more people entered the Heavenly Ladder Tower, others stopped observing and chose to enter the tower to begin their own exams.
Invigilation room of the combat professional examination center in Southern Province.
This is an independent space, with countless small light screens in the void displaying the candidates' every move inside the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
Every year, the live broadcast of the graduation exams is not allowed to be viewed by outsiders; only the invigilators in the examination room can watch it in real time.
Furthermore, all video materials will be destroyed immediately after the exam!
In this world, professionals are arguably the most valuable asset, and the annual graduation exams can select batches of geniuses for the Dragon Kingdom.
It is this continuous stream of new life that has allowed humanity to remain evenly matched with the demons of the abyss.
In the graduation exam, every candidate will give it their all, showcasing their talents, skills, fighting style, and so on.
If this information is leaked, it could easily be targeted by cultists, causing incalculable losses!
Therefore, the Dragon Kingdom has extremely strict confidentiality measures for the information of every professional.
At this moment, several middle-aged men with dignified expressions and imposing presence were standing in front of the light screen, constantly inspecting it.
Each one is a high-level professional who has reached level 100 or above.
Jiang Yuan, who was in charge, was a master professional with a level of 135.
[Ye Chen, Level 25, Sharpshooter!]
At this moment, there was a huge light screen in front of them, on which Ye Chen's information and image appeared.
"This is the only hidden profession reported by Lincheng No. 3 Middle School: Sharpshooter!"
"According to the data, he's not from a prominent family, yet he's reached level 25. It seems he had some special opportunity!"
"Every strong person has their own opportunities; otherwise, they wouldn't become strong!"
"He actually chose the Abyss difficulty; I don't know whether to call him courageous or courting death!"
"Geniuses always have their own ideas. They're worth keeping an eye on; they have the potential to become the top student in the Southern Province!"
"However, I still have more faith in Zhou Yi. If it weren't for the fact that this year is a golden age with many geniuses emerging, based on his past performance, Zhou Yi would have no problem getting the top score in the country!"
...
The first floor of the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
Ye Chen was currently in the safe zone at the edge of the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
The Heavenly Ladder Tower was surrounded by a purplish-black mist.
Twenty level 11 elite monsters appeared on the other side of the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
Miniature Goblin
[Grade: Elite]
[Level: 11]
Health Points:
Attack Power: 1911
Physical Defense: 811
[Magic Defense: 495]
[Skills: Heavy Strike, Life Enhancement, Throwing...]
...
What were originally ordinary-level monsters, small goblins, have been transformed into elite-level monsters in this abyss-level ladder tower, with their attributes increasing significantly and their numbers reaching as high as twenty.
