About half an hour later.
On the twentieth floor of the Heavenly Ladder Tower, Zhou Yi was struggling against the Minotaur chieftain.
He used the most conventional strategy: first, he used a single-target skill to instantly kill the Shadow Priest, and then dealt with the Tauren Chieftain.
At this moment, he was not in good condition, with less than 20% of his health remaining and his mana almost depleted.
However, the Tauren Chieftain wasn't in much better shape, with only a sliver of health left!
Thunder Spear!
Boom!
With a loud bang, the Tauren chieftain's massive body crashed to the ground!
After killing the Tauren chieftain, Zhou Yi sat down heavily on the ground, panting heavily.
To deal with this level, Zhou Yi used all his skills. All of his core skills were area-of-effect damage, making this level a perfect counter to him!
"Luckily, Thunder Spear can put the target into a critically wounded state for 5 seconds. While the target is in a critically wounded state, they cannot recover health. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to kill the Shadow Priest!"
"If we fail at this stage, we'll suffer a huge loss!"
Zhou Yi cursed inwardly, "This year's exam questions are insane! Based on the difficulty of previous years' exams, at least a level 50 boss would be worthy of this level of difficulty!"
It is estimated that the average score in the southern province this year will be much lower than in previous years!
However, thinking that he was having a hard time, and that others were having a hard time too, Zhou Yi felt much more at ease!
In this golden age, geniuses emerge in great numbers. If the difficulty of the Heavenly Ladder Tower is not increased, it will be difficult to discover true geniuses.
As the saying goes, a top student gets 100 points because that's all they can get, and a genius gets 100 points because the test only has 100 points!
"This year's Heavenly Ladder Tower is too difficult; I'm afraid I won't be able to get past fifty floors!"
"However, I'm playing on Abyss difficulty. Even if I only clear 49 floors, I'll still get more points than if I clear 100 floors on Nightmare difficulty!"
"The title of top scholar in the southern province belongs to me without a doubt!"
As the top genius of Xingcheng No.1 High School, Zhou Yi can definitely be called the top genius of Southern Province. He is confident that he can become the top scholar in Southern Province!
As for Ye Chen, who was the first to enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower, although he also chose the Abyss difficulty, he was an unknown person and was probably just trying to attract attention, posing no threat at all.
Zhou Yi smiled slightly, full of confidence. After calming himself down, he leisurely got up and headed to the next level of the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
...
At this moment, Ye Chen had already arrived at the eightieth floor of the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
That's right, in just half an hour, while Zhou Yi was still brimming with confidence about clearing the 20th floor, Ye Chen had already reached the 80th floor!
Soon, four BOSSes appeared in front of him, and Ye Chen quickly checked their attributes.

...
These four bosses are all level 30 monarch bosses, wearing full sets of armor and wielding knight's lances, looking extremely extraordinary.
In the invigilator room, the proctors had become accustomed to being astonished.
However, everyone was still quite surprised when they saw the attributes of the four bosses in front of them.
The level 30 Monarch BOSS has no weaknesses in its attributes, and there is also a bond between them.
When all four bosses are alive, you can reduce the damage you receive by 30%. You must kill one of the bosses first to make this bond invalid.
For students taking the big exam, this level is simply an impossible challenge!
Even a candidate like Zhou Yi, with a powerful legendary class and excellent equipment, would probably be instantly killed by these four BOSSes in a single encounter!
We can only rely on our life-saving equipment to buy some time!
"This year's exam questions were really a bit too much..."
Even Jiang Yuan in the proctoring room couldn't help but speak up for Ye Chen.
For a level 25 Black Iron class, a boss of this strength is not just beyond their capabilities; it's downright suicide!
"Hopefully, this kid will give up decisively. With his current points, winning the top score in the Southern Province is already a sure thing!"
"I suspect the person who set the question never even considered that anyone could pass this level!"
"I've heard that a prodigy, unlike any other, has emerged in Dragon City. Perhaps this level was prepared for him!"
"Alas, this golden age, with its abundance of talented individuals, also means..."
...
"Thank goodness it wasn't an enhanced version of the King-level BOSS!"
