I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

"Tenth place! Wu Xiangchen!"

"Silver Epic Class: Retribution Paladin!"

"Current level: 30! First job advancement successful!"

The audience was in an uproar when they saw the information about Wu Xiangchen on the big screen.

"Holy crap? Level 30? And he even succeeded in his first job advancement? And it's only been a month? Is this the true value of a Silver Epic class?"

"Holy crap! My little bastard only reached level 14 in a month, how the hell can he compare to that?"

"Punishment Knight, that sounds like a first-class job advancement, but what does that title mean? Punishment Knight? What attribute is that?"

"Light attribute, right? Aren't all knights light attribute? A retribution knight sounds like a main attacker, much more powerful than a regular knight."

"Wu Xiangchen is so handsome! I want to have his babies!"

Wu Xiangchen's lackeys, who were chatting and joking in the lounge, got excited when they saw Wu Xiangchen's portrait appear on the TV.

"Holy crap?! Young Master Chen, you're ranked tenth! That's amazing!"

"Young Master Chen, you actually succeeded in your first transfer? You kept this from us so well!"

"Holy crap, leveled up to 30 in a month and even succeeded in the first job advancement! Young Master Chen, are you a god descended from heaven?!"

"Although there are 46 silver-level professions this year, Chen Shao ranked tenth, which means that at least 30 of them are not as good as Chen Shao! Chen Shao, you're too awesome!"

"Being able to take the assessment alongside Young Master Chen this time is absolutely incredible, my ancestors' graves must be emitting a burst of good fortune!"

"Young Master Chen is begging to be your accessory!"

Wu Xiangchen was very pleased with the flattery from his lackeys.

He casually crossed his legs and pretended to be calm.

"Sigh, I was planning to hide a little longer and give Qingmeng a surprise, but who knew the country would actually release me."

"Besides, there are still nine people ahead of us, I can't go now."

Upon seeing Wu Xiangchen at Versailles, the lackeys immediately adopted a fawning tone.

"Young Master Chen, I don't like hearing you say that. There are a whopping 2 million combat professionals this year. You're already invincible if you can rank in the top ten, okay?"

"That's right, Young Master Chen, don't be modest. For a legend like you, if we could even latch onto your coattails, our ancestors' graves would explode with joy!"

"Young Master Chen! We can't guarantee a high score in this assessment, but getting 10th place will be a piece of cake. Don't forget about us brothers when the time comes, Young Master Chen!"

"No problem, no problem. You're all my brothers. As long as I have food to eat, you'll never go hungry."

"Oh! Thank you so much, Young Master Chen!"

"Ninth place! Xu Qingmeng!"

"Silver Epic Class: Frost Mage!"

"Current level: 39! First job advancement successful!"

The lackeys wanted to say a few more flattering words, but the next second, as Xiao Meier's voice came from the TV, the smiles on everyone's faces instantly froze.

Especially Wu Xiangchen, who stared at the TV with a stiff expression, and after confirming that the girl with an icy face, like a flower on a high mountain, was the goddess he had been thinking about day and night, he almost popped his eyes out.

"3, level 39???"

Wu Xiangchen sat up abruptly, his expression changing drastically.

"How is this possible? How is this possible??? Level 39? A full 9 levels higher than me???"

It was precisely because he was level 30 that he knew how difficult it was to level up after level 30.

With the help of four retainers, he spent more than 20 days grinding away and only just reached level 30. However, Xu Qingmeng was almost 10 levels behind him in the same amount of time. How could he not be shocked?

Let's not talk about him anymore.

Even the audience at the scene was stunned.

Although many ordinary people came to the scene, they were also aware of how difficult it was to upgrade now.

Reaching level 30 within a month is already a feat that puts you in a league of your own.

How is this level 39 any different from being a monster?

Inside the rooftop lounge.

A dozen or so young people, each in their own group, sat or stood staring at the large television on the opposite wall, their expressions quite indifferent.

However, after Xu Qingmeng appeared, many of them were startled and gripped their cups tightly.

"Level 39? A silver ice mage can level up that fast, that's impressive."

"Nannan, didn't you say that ice mages level up the slowest? This girl is already a higher level than you, a fire mage. Aren't you ashamed?"

Upon hearing this, Si Nan, dressed in a red mage's robe, scoffed.

"What's the big deal? If I had four retainers to guide me, I'd be at least level 40 by now."

"A good-for-nothing who relies on others to carry him has no right to compare himself to me."

"Exactly! True strong players solo, or at the very least, they team up like us. Those who ask others to carry them are useless."

Si Nan's words resonated with many people, and everyone shared this consensus.

"This 8th ranked Thunder Dragon is already level 31. It seems that the general strength this year is stronger than last year."

"Indeed, the fact that a Thunderstorm Warrior can make the list shows that this class is indeed quite something."

At this moment, the boy sitting next to me, who had been smiling the whole time, suddenly spoke up while looking at the big screen.

"Shadow Assassin, Celestial Master, Thunderstorm Warrior, many of this year's silver professions are special professions, no wonder they can make it into the top 10."

"Looks like this year is going to be a tough battle."

The girl sitting next to him, who had no expression on her face, glanced at him and said softly.

"Among the silver professions, the one we should pay the most attention to is Mu Caiwei, ranked 7th. She is a Celestial Master. Although her attack methods are weak, this profession is good at calculations, specializes in group skills, and has an excellent defense. She is not much weaker than you, the Ghost Array Sword Master."

Upon hearing this, the boy's smile widened.

"Indeed, especially since she comes from the Mu family, she is indeed a formidable rival."

"But... her greatest strength isn't her profession..."

Seemingly having thought of something, he leaned back on the sofa and spoke leisurely.

"By the way, are those four really going to take the entrance exam this year? Didn't they already decide where they'd go?"

"Could it really be for the prize money for winning this assessment?"

Upon hearing this, the others' expressions became noticeably unnatural.

"Of course it is! That's a golden mythical-grade emblem, and it can be upgraded. You can wear it up to at least level five. Who wouldn't be envious?"

"Yes, and besides, that piece of equipment is related to that matter; how could the major powers let it go?"

The boy looked at his information on TV and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

"Everyone says that the equipment was recently obtained by that person, and that it's related to that matter. They even say there's a chance to get a quest, but for some unknown reason, he just treated the equipment as a prize. I don't know if it's true or not, but... is there really a quest to accept...?"

"Who knew? That's what everyone's saying up there, my dad and my grandpa said the same thing. Otherwise, why do you think I came?"

"Indeed, that's why my second uncle sent me here; otherwise, I would have leveled up long ago."

This was a sensitive topic that no one wanted to discuss, and the boy was no exception. After thinking for a moment, he changed the subject.

"I've heard more than just this, but... we're about to see a fourth place."

"If it really is them, then this matter... can be confirmed..."

"Oh, right."

At that moment, he suddenly looked at a boy with a buzz cut wearing leather armor in the corner and said.

Did you bring what I gave you?

Upon hearing this, the man with the buzz cut nodded quickly.

"I brought them all."

"Alright, wait for my message after entering the dungeon. This time... let's see who comes out on top..."
