Chapter 28 Shocks the Entire Audience! A Solo Challenge of the A-Rank Trial!
Lin Yi was taken aback: "You know me?"

Jiang Xian looked at Lin Yi with great interest.

"I've never met you, but I'm so tired of hearing your name."

My little granddaughter has mentioned you quite a bit.

“Even this morning, she told me to wait for you to arrive so she could arrange this trial for you.”

Zuo Qian's eyes lit up as he listened.

I never expected that Elder Jiang would know Lin Yi!
This is easy to handle.

Lin Yi felt somewhat embarrassed.

The old man in front of us also has the surname Jiang.

Based on what he said, it's not hard to guess that Jiang Xian must be Jiang Ya's grandfather.

"President Jiang, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to so blatantly give preferential treatment to your acquaintances?"

A somewhat cold voice came from behind Jiang Xian.

He was a young man wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, with a somewhat cold demeanor.

The other person standing next to him chuckled and said, "And if I may be frank, it's not that we look down on the education level of Jiangcheng, but rather that few of the freshmen in this year's class will be able to pass this trial. It's better to occupy a spot and go to your death."

"Why don't you make way for the freshmen from Tianshui University? We've come all this way and don't want to wait too long."

Jiang Xian heard this.

His complexion also turned ugly.

He was initially very polite, treating this group of freshman mage professionals who had come all the way from Tianshui with the respect that guests are always welcome, just so they could participate in this trial instance.

Lin Yi frowned slightly.

He disliked the arrogant and condescending attitude of this group.

Indeed, almost all of these people from Tianshui Academy were at least at the second level of the college entrance exam, and a very few had even reached the third level.

But it wasn't much stronger.

What to pretend?

Just as the group was talking.

A sudden exclamation came from the entrance of the instance.

Following the sound, Lin Yi saw Jiang Ya, her face pale, being supported by a professional, walking listlessly.

Jiang Xian's expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward.

Even based on past experience, the difficulty of this mage class trial is not considered high.

However, there are always risks involved.

Did I fail to complete the game?

"Xiaoya, you guys...?"

Jiang Ya was clearly in great shock; her whole body was trembling slightly, and her face was frighteningly pale.

Upon seeing her grandfather, Jiang Ya's eyes reddened, and tears instantly streamed down her face: "Grandpa, my second uncle, my second uncle... Waaah!"

Jiang Xian's face turned completely gloomy.

He also noticed that only three people had returned with his granddaughter this time!
One more person has disappeared!
He was Jiang Ya's second uncle and Jiang Xian's second son!
"What happened, Xiaoya? Don't cry, calm down and tell Grandpa!"

Jiang Ya trembled uncontrollably.

"There are...too many monsters in there!"

"We can't kill them all, and as long as we stay in one place, monsters will keep coming. There are almost no places to hide in the entire space."

"Finally, it was my second uncle who gave us the last four escape scrolls from the dungeon, and then drew the monsters' fire, which allowed us to escape!"

"My second uncle..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Upon hearing this, both Jiang Xian and Zuo Qian felt a chill run through their bodies!
It's important to know that this trial instance is only open to mage players.

If what Jiang Ya said is true, the monsters inside will search for their tracks and keep attacking.

There are no tank classes that can withstand monster attacks, and no priest classes that can heal.

Even if all five mages except Jiang Ya were second or even third level cultivators, they couldn't withstand such a high-pressure environment.

In this light, their initial prediction that this was a trial instance with a difficulty level of only around D was completely wrong!

Based on current assessments, it's estimated to be at least an A-level difficulty level!
"Help……!"

"There are wounded here. Are there any healers? Please help!"

"She's dying, please save her!" At this moment, people were constantly being teleported out of the dungeon entrance.

Cries of agony, screams, and pleas for help rose and fell.

Countless wounded were covered in blood and gore; some had their abdomens ripped open by the pincers of an unknown creature, while others had their legs bitten off.

The scene was incredibly bloody.

These people should be like Jiang Ya, among the first batch to enter the trial instance.

In an instant, the once bustling scene, which had attracted countless onlookers queuing up at the dungeon entrance, fell silent!
The next moment, although there were still people in the queue, most of them retreated to a distance from the dungeon entrance and watched from afar.

Those who manage to escape at least have a chance to be rescued.

So what about those teams that didn't make it out?

You can imagine what happened to them!
Zuo Qian and Jiang Xian both looked extremely grim.

They never imagined that the once thriving situation would suddenly turn so dangerous!
"Hahaha!"

"What did I just say? You're just going in to your deaths anyway, so you might as well make way for us."

"Why didn't you do this earlier? Why did you have to make us wait so long?"

The bespectacled man from Tianshui College adjusted his glasses, then crossed his arms and remained expressionless.

It seems they had anticipated the situation.

Subsequently, all the hundreds of freshmen from Tianshui Academy who came to participate in the trial showed joy on their faces.

Now, no one is rushing to line up in front of them anymore.

"Attention everyone, the task of this trial is to survive for 3 hours."

"The dungeon difficulty is A+, so proceed with extreme caution!"

"Take the electronic map we sent you and follow the guide strictly!"

Several teachers from Tianshui College began to explain the precautions to their students.

Instantly, all the professionals around were filled with envy.

"The difficulty level isn't just D-level, it's A+ level!"

"That's terrifying...!"

"Huh? An electronic map?"

"They even have a strategy guide!"

"Isn't this a newly released limited-time dungeon?"

"You don't understand. I've heard that many established professional training colleges have mastered a lot of dungeon strategies that we don't know about. For dungeons like this one that require three hours of survival, they probably prepared strategies in advance."

Zuo Qian, standing next to Lin Yi, gave a bitter smile.

"It is our incompetence."

"They not only misjudged the difficulty of the dungeon, but they also didn't have any so-called strategy guide."

"I'm sorry, Jiang Ya and Lin Yi."

The old principal looked as if he had aged decades in an instant.

He was consumed by deep self-blame and guilt.

What I fear most is comparison.

Others are well-prepared, which fully demonstrates the difference between professional vocational schools and small-town high schools like theirs.

"Principal Zuo, you don't need to apologize for things that are beyond your control."

"Even without a guide or electronic map, this trial shouldn't be too difficult. I want to go in and give it a try."

If this trial were truly only at a D-level difficulty, Lin Yi would find it utterly uninteresting.

Now we see so many people failing in this endeavor.

He actually became somewhat interested.

"But given the current situation, it's unlikely anyone will want to team up with you..."

Zuo Qian believed that Lin Yi must be capable.

However, he then revealed the awkward situation he was in.

In this time when everyone is on edge, who would want to team up with him to enter this dungeon?

But in that instant before anyone could react—

They saw Lin Yi step into the dungeon entrance and disappear from sight!
