The lobby monitoring room.
At this moment, the instructors here were no better off than the students inside; they all stared wide-eyed, as if they had seen a ghost.
Even though the two deans were used to big scenes, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak!
"What...what happened?"
"Dealing over 100 million damage in an instant? Even with the [Sky-Piercing Giant Ape]'s defensive attributes greatly weakened, it shouldn't have reached that level!"
"The fatal weakness we originally designed for the [Sky-Piercing Giant Ape] was that it would be frozen for five seconds after each attack, and would deal double damage while frozen."
The students could use this time to unleash a barrage of attacks and deal considerable damage, but what's wrong with Ye Chen? He instantly killed the [Sky-Piercing Giant Ape], which had a total of 200 million HP, in less than five seconds!
"This is outrageous! A mother opening the door for something outrageous—it's ridiculously outrageous!"
"The younger generation is truly formidable! The younger generation is indeed formidable!"
"This matter must be reported to the principal. I believe even the principal cannot imagine that Ye Chen could inflict such terrifying damage!"
...
After defeating the [Sky-Piercing Giant Ape], Ye Chen checked the contribution rankings again.
Ye Chen, contribution value 98.15%, current ranking: 1
[Qiao Yufu, contribution value 0.65%, current ranking: 2]
[Ji Zuo, contribution value 0.12%, current ranking: 3]
...
Looking at the rankings on the contribution leaderboard, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile.
It's fair to say that he single-handedly defeated this boss. Qiao Yufu only gave him a strength boost buff, yet he still contributed 0.65%, firmly holding second place on the contribution leaderboard. It's simply outrageous.
As you can see, the top ten students on the contribution leaderboard are all support players who buff Ye Chen, while the contribution values of the others are pitifully small and can be completely ignored.
"I wonder if the mentors are starting to have headaches again!"
Ye Chen could imagine the expressions on the faces of the mentors in the monitoring room.
He took down such a big boss in one fell swoop, and the others haven't even had a chance to show their skills yet. I bet the mentors will have a headache about how to choose students later.
bite!
The notification from the spirit of the dungeon sounded again.
[The Newcomer Trial dungeon has ended. Please prepare yourselves; everyone will be teleported to the dungeon lobby in one minute!]
Only at this moment did all the students seem to wake up from a dream.
"Holy crap, this is actually real!"
"Ye Chen actually defeated the BOSS in an instant! Is the gap between people really that big?"
"Is this the strength of the top scorer in the country? It's terrifying!"
"Ah, my dungeon ranking has improved so much! From now on, I'll be Ye Chen's loyal lapdog!"
"I really envy Qiao Yufu. She got 100,000 dungeon points just by lying down. It's so unfair!"
...
Ye Chen looked at the points leaderboard and noticed that the rankings had changed considerably compared to before.
[Ye Chen, current dungeon score: points, current ranking: 1]
[Qiao Yufu, current dungeon score: points, current ranking: 2]
[Wang Peng, current dungeon score: points, current ranking: 3]
[Lin Tianyu, current dungeon score: points, current ranking: 4]
[Fu Shishi, Current Dungeon Score: points, Current Ranking: 5]
[Ji Zuo, current dungeon score: points, current ranking: 6]
...
After obtaining 100,000 dungeon points, ranking second on the contribution leaderboard, Qiao Yufu soared to second place on the dungeon points leaderboard.
Even Ji Zuo, after achieving 80,000 dungeon points and ranking third on the contribution leaderboard, also secured sixth place on the dungeon points leaderboard.
Other support heroes have also seen significant improvements in their rankings.
I have to say, this support team is absolutely unstoppable!
Wang Peng looked at the dungeon points leaderboard with a grim face. He had fallen from second to third place, instantly losing 50,000 credits in reward. Even he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
...
Not long after, countless white beams of light enveloped all the students in the instance.
Swish swish——
All the students reappeared in the instance lobby.
Most people had torn clothes and were covered in blood, but Ye Chen was spotless, as if he had just returned from a spring outing.
"The freshman trials for this year are over. I wonder who took first place?"
"Could it be Ye Chen? We asked those freshmen what was going on, but none of them would say anything!"
"It can't be that bad. It's already quite an achievement that he managed to survive until the end! Everyone else was working in groups, so Ye Chen must have had a tough time hiding!"
"Unless Ye Chen defeats a hundred of them single-handedly and subdues them all, he will never be able to take first place!"
"Everyone here is a genius, one in ten thousand in the entire Dragon Kingdom. It's too much for one to fight against a hundred! Unless this year's freshmen are all slackers!"
...
A group of second- and third-year students gathered around and started discussing it enthusiastically.
Especially the sophomores, who were surrounded by onlookers last year, were even more gloating this year at the miserable state of these freshmen, their faces beaming with joy.
The freshmen who were eliminated early, especially Lu Ming, remained silent when they heard the discussion among the senior students, acting as if nothing had happened.
It's incredibly shameful that hundreds of people ganged up on one person and ended up getting utterly defeated.
As long as they don't say anything, no one will know. They'll come back to get revenge once they've improved their strength.
Even if someone accidentally reveals it, the older students will probably just treat it as a joke and no one will believe it, since the record is just too outrageous.
Let alone taking on hundreds, even taking on dozens would be an amazing feat.
Just as the new students remained silent and the older students were discussing amongst themselves, a large group of people walked out of the monitoring room in the dungeon lobby.
The entire arena fell silent instantly. Hundreds of powerful individuals with diamond-level or higher abilities appeared simultaneously, and even with their auras concealed, they still exuded a tremendous sense of oppression.
Su Yu walked up to the podium, his eyes scanning all the new students below, and said in a deep voice: "The new student trial instance has officially ended!"
In this trial for new students, some of you performed very well, but some of you performed very poorly.
A lead at one step leads to a lead at every step. Students who hope to achieve good results should not be complacent, as the road ahead is still long.
However, students who didn't perform well shouldn't be discouraged. They should learn from their mistakes and strive harder in the future to catch up with those ahead of them!
Su Yu paused for a moment, then focused his gaze on Ye Chen, who stood out from the crowd, and continued, "In this freshman trial instance, the final boss was defeated for the first time, and Ye Chen's contribution value reached 98.15%, breaking the highest historical record of Ancient Capital University. Therefore, he is hereby awarded an additional 200,000 credits."
hiss--
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted in an uproar, with gasps of astonishment filling the air.
