I just became a mage, and my skills have become supernatural? What the heck?

On the plaza outside the Trial Tower.

A white beam of teleportation light appeared, and countless eyes were cast towards it.

As the light faded, Zhao Yu's slightly disheveled figure emerged from the Trial Tower.

His meticulously styled hair was now a mess, resembling a bird's nest, and his face was stained with black ash and blood.

"Huff... huff..."

Zhao Yu was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.

But he still forced himself to stand up straight, his face bearing his usual arrogant expression.

The thirteenth floor!

This is his final result.

Although he was stopped at the thirteenth floor, he had absolute confidence.

You should know that in previous years, very few candidates could even pass the tenth level of the major exam, let alone him!

This achievement is enough to make one stand out from the crowd and become a legend in Jianghai City!

Zhao Yu looked around.

Seeing the densely packed crowd of examinees in the square, his smile deepened.

"Hmph, just as I expected."

"It seems they've basically all been eliminated."

at this time,

Several of Zhao Yu's henchmen came running over eagerly.

"Young Master Zhao... Young Master Zhao! You're out!"

The leader of the henchmen was holding a towel and water, but his expression looked rather strange.

"Um."

Zhao Yu took the water, took a sip, and frowned slightly: "Why the long face? Did someone in your family die?"

He was very dissatisfied.

My score is the pinnacle of an S-class genius.

Shouldn't these people be cheering and shouting "Young Master Zhao is awesome!"?

Who is this crestfallen face, like someone who has lost their parents, meant for?

"No...no..."

The henchman wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stammered:

"Young Master Zhao, your score... is indeed impressive. Thirteen floors, in previous years that would definitely be the top scorer."

"nonsense!"

Zhao Yu slammed the water bottle down and glared angrily at the group:

"Since you know how powerful it is, then why are you reacting like this?"

"What, do you think my grades aren't good enough for you? Or do you think there's someone in Jianghai City who's better than me?"

"this……"

The henchmen looked at each other in bewilderment.

They all shrank back, none of them daring to speak first.

Finally, it was the leader of the henchmen who cautiously reminded him:

"Young Master Zhao... please look at the list behind you..."

"What are you looking at?"

Zhao Yu snorted coldly and turned away with a disdainful expression.

"Behold my unparalleled dominance..."

"Second place?!"

At that moment, Zhao Yu froze completely.

He couldn't understand why he wasn't number one.

He couldn't understand why the gap between him and the first place was so huge.

What he found most unacceptable was that the number one spot was still held by Lin Mo, a spoiled rich kid whom he had always looked down upon!

"No, that's impossible..."

"That's impossible!"

Zhao Yu's pupils contracted sharply, and he murmured:

"Is there a system bug causing a display error? Or is Lin Mo cheating?"

"Yes, Lin Mo is definitely cheating!"

The henchman beside him cautiously approached and whispered:

"We've been watching this for ages. Young Master Lin... he's too amazing. He basically swept through the entire way in seconds."

"Shut up!"

Zhao Yu whirled around, his eyes bloodshot. "Did I tell you to speak?!"

The henchmen shrank back in fear, and no one dared to speak again.

Zhao Yu withdrew his gaze and stared intently at Lin Mo, who was at the top of the list.

Although he blurted out that Lin Mo had cheated, he knew in his heart that it was almost impossible.

In this world, the consequences of cheating are extremely severe; it can lead to the extermination of one's entire family.

Lin Tianhao didn't have the guts.

Besides, their family is so well-off, they have no motive for doing that.

But he still couldn't believe how Lin Mo, a novice mage, could be so awesome.

Just as he was thinking this, another henchman couldn't help but ask:

"Young Master Zhao, do you think... Lin Mo might actually be able to clear all 30 floors?"

"The highest record in history is only 27 floors. If I actually beat it..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Zhao Yu sneered:

"Thirty floors? No one has been able to do that in all these years. How could a novice mage like him possibly accomplish it?"

"Do they really think those SSS-level geniuses are all idiots?"

"snort."

Zhao Yu straightened his disheveled collar and pointed to the two majestic stone lions outside the examination hall.

"If Lin Mo really manages to clear the 30th floor, I, Zhao Yu, will devour these two stone lions alive today!"

"Swallow it whole, don't chew it!"

These words caused an uproar among those around them.

The henchmen looked at each other, but in order to please their master, they still cheered loudly:

"Young Master Zhao is so domineering!"

"I don't think Lin Mo will be able to get those stone lions!"

……

Inside the Trial Tower, on the twenty-ninth floor.

This is a desolate desert landscape, where the fierce wind whips up sand and gravel that stings your face.

Starting from the twenty-sixth floor, the terrain is no longer uniform, but begins to exhibit a variety of changes.

[Congratulations to Lin Mo! You have cleared the 29th floor!]

[Time taken: 56 seconds!]

"call……"

Lin Mo patted the sand off his bottom and sighed, a rare occurrence for him.

At his feet lay dozens of enormous corpses of the Desert Scorpion.

These monsters have incredibly hard shells and can burrow underground to ambush, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

"This is getting a bit difficult..."

Lin Mo stretched his stiff neck and looked around at the several sections of the [Earthflow Wall] that had been damaged by the impact.

After that battle, he couldn't even sit still.

To avoid the monster's attack, he had to get up and move around a little, and even used [Earth Stealth] once.

"I'm tired. Let's destroy it all and end it quickly."

Lin Mo complained somewhat helplessly.

[Fireball Spell shouts: Awesome! This is real combat! Those scorpions were something else; they actually withstood two of my 'Multiple Explosive Fireballs'!]

[Fireball Technique: Fighting Spirit Soars! Only through this level of intense combat can one hone the true power of forbidden spells!]

[The Earth Shield user, still shaken: "Brother, please don't say anymore... That was really too dangerous! This place is too dangerous, and the monsters are getting more and more monstrous!"]

[The Earth Shield spell started to back down: Master, how about we call it quits? Let's go home. I miss my big bed at home...]

[Fireball Spell instantly erupts in fury: Coward! You're backing out right at the door? I can't afford to lose face like that! I have to beat this game!]

[Earth Shield Spell weakly retorts: But... but the next level is definitely more difficult, what if...]

"Alright, stop arguing."

Lin Mo rubbed his temples and said helplessly:

"Since we're already here, we should at least take a look at the last floor. Anyway, I have the priest buff, so I won't die."

"Besides, Xiao Tu, have you forgotten about that combo technique we just learned yesterday? We haven't even used it in a real match yet, have we?"

Upon hearing this, Earth Shield was taken aback.

[Earth Shield Technique: Awakening! Oh right! My brother and I's combo attack! It looks pretty tanky...]

[The Earth Shield spell instantly sprang to life: With that tortoise shell... oops, with that armor, what am I afraid of?]

[The Earth Shield spell's expression changes faster than flipping through a book: Master! I think I can do it again! Let's charge! We must clear this level! Anyone who doesn't is a coward!]

[The Fireball spell rolled its eyes: Ha, fickle coward.]

at this time,

The teleportation countdown has also completely reset to zero.

The surrounding space began to distort, and the scene changed.

What appeared before Lin Mo was an enormous circular arena.

The surrounding stands were towering into the clouds, and although they were empty, it was as if one could hear the shouts of millions of people.

A somber atmosphere immediately enveloped us.

Trial Tower, 30th floor!

It's also the final level!

"Congratulations, candidate Lin Mo, you have reached the final level of the Trial Tower!"

"This floor is the final trial!"

"Monster level: 25. Number of monsters: 50, BOSS: 1!"

"Good luck to you!"
