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

"Holy crap? They're all in stadium 33? There are only about 100 people left?"

"Mu Qingcheng's team is firmly in first place in both categories, and Mu Qingcheng herself has achieved a dramatic rise to first place with over 5 points. She truly deserves to be called this year's strongest dark horse!"

"Ye Wuhen's team is also very strong, consistently holding second place. In comparison, Li Jian's team has only just started to exert its strength, and it's unlikely they'll be able to catch up with these two."

"If we're talking about strength, then it should be Wen Liangyu's team, which is ranked third. Their silver-level professional skills overpowered Qin Wushuang and Li Jian, which speaks volumes."

Inside the stadium.

Viewers still have high hopes for the few students on the leaderboard.

However, viewers are also filled with concern about the black smoke incident.

"Awesome! This year's assessment was incredible! So many problems arose, yet we've managed to hold on until now."

"That's normal, considering there are so many more silver and gold professions than in previous years, it's normal for there to be more resistance this year."

"I just don't know who will win first place this year, or how long they can hold on. They probably won't last until the third day."

"I heard that monsters infected by that black smoke will level up and increase their attributes. No matter how fast they level up, they can't withstand monsters of level 60 or above in Arena 33."

"I really didn't expect that in previous years everyone would be grinding monsters in the fourth or fifth arena, and very few people would go to the 20th arena or above. But this year, by some strange twist of fate, so many people went to the 33rd arena."

"Hey! Look! The leaderboard has been updated again! Mu Qingcheng is still firmly in first place with over 6 points! Awesome!"

"Ye Wuhen is going all out! He's catching up to Mu Qingcheng with over 5 points! He's going to have a showdown with her!"

"Lu Yun is pretty awesome too! He actually has 4... Wait a minute??? Lu Yun???"

The leaderboard was suddenly refreshed, and everyone was still checking their scores with excited eyes.

When Lu Yun's name suddenly appeared in third place, the audience was instantly in an uproar.

"Who is Lu Yun? How did he suddenly jump to third place with over 4 points?"

"Wait? Look at his team! Xu Qingmeng? Li Zian? He's on Xu Qingmeng's team!"

"Who is Lu Yun? I've never heard of him. Is he a silver-level professional?"

"He was always scoring in the teens before, how did he suddenly jump to over 4 points?"

"Holy crap? It's still going up?! It's already at 5!"

"Holy crap?! They actually went to court number 33?"

When the audience saw Lu Yun's score fluctuate and he even moved up to match number 33, they were instantly in an uproar.

The bigwigs on the high platform couldn't help but change their expressions and began to re-examine Lu Yun.

"What's going on with Lu Yun? Isn't he a gray-level ordinary mage? How come his points are increasing so fast?"

"Really? Isn't he Xu Qingmeng's accessory? How come he has over 1 more points than Xu Qingmeng?"

"In just half an hour, his points increased by more than 10,000, is that correct?"

"At this rate, he might catch up with Mu Qingcheng!"

"Could it be that he and Xu Qingmeng used their skills together, and then Xu Qingmeng deliberately let him finish off the enemy so that he could get a higher score, thus giving him all the points?"

"Is it because of love again?"

"Then tell me! How could a gray-level common mage possibly get so many points? Do you think he's a hidden class? Or does he know how to use forbidden spells to wipe out a whole area with one skill?"

Everyone thought about it and agreed; it seemed there was no other explanation.

After all, even for a mage, a gray-level mage is still considered very low.

"That Xu Qingmeng! She's being ridiculous! Giving up a bright future, she's blinded by love!"

"That's because they've never been in the real world, never been fooled by a scumbag. They'll be obedient when Lu Yun cheats them out of money and sex!"

"This is the entrance exam, it determines which university you get into, and she just gave it to a trash mage like that, what a waste of that silver profession."

"She probably thought that since she was in a silver-collar profession, she would definitely be able to get into a good school, so she saved her points for Lu Yun, hoping that he could also get into a good school."

"Forget it, let's see how it goes. There's still a day and a half left. If she gives up some points first, so be it. She can catch up later."

"I don't know if they can hold out for another day and a half. This arena number 33 has already gone berserk."

"Sigh... the toughest moment has arrived. I wonder who will be able to hold on until the end."

From their perspective, Xu Qingmeng has a good family background and potential, so getting into a good university is definitely not a problem. But Lu Yun is just an orphan with a low-paying job. For her to give Lu Yun a better future, having him go to the same university as her is undoubtedly the best choice.

Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable to choose to help him now.

However, the bigwigs were simply disappointed in her and spoke out on her behalf.

……

Field 33.

As soon as Lu Yun and his two companions appeared, they smelled a familiar stench of decay and a faint odor.

After scanning the dark plains and somewhat gloomy sky around him, Li Zian fanned the air in front of his nose with displeasure.

"Who's so wicked as to do something that would incur the wrath of both heaven and man? He doesn't farm monsters, and he won't let others do it either."

"That's only because Brother Yun is awesome. Anyone else would have died countless times over."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingmeng glanced at the chat box and said.

"Now there are fewer than 50 people left, and..."

Xu Qingmeng glanced at the lizard monster patrolling not far away and frowned slightly.

"The monsters have all gone from level 60 to level 80, and their health has skyrocketed to 100 million. A five-person team with a level below 40 can't even defeat a single small monster."

"What do you think was that person's purpose in doing this?"

"filter."

"filter?"

Seeing Xu Qingmeng stunned, Lu Yun smiled.

"He's weeding out those who aren't capable, or rather, he's clearing the field."

At this point, Lu Yun stretched and yawned.

"It's clear that he's an extremely proud and arrogant person. He won't allow those with weaker abilities to set foot in such a wonderful place as the Illusionary Realm."

"Only those who survive are qualified to be his opponents."

Xu Qingmeng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"So he only created the berserk state and didn't attack anyone else."

"right."

Lu Yun smiled and looked around.

"Now that the hindrance is gone, the remaining 50 people are essentially in the final round."

"And he... was among those 50 people."

As if he had thought of something, Lu Yun's smile widened.

"This is a hunt, but also a test of his abilities. He not only wants to take first place, but also to crush everyone else."

"Including... Mu Qingcheng."

Seeing Lu Yun looking at her, Xu Qingmeng was captivated.

The more she interacted with Lu Yun, the more she could feel the brilliance emanating from him.

His confident and sunny smile, in particular, is like a gentle breeze, making people feel as if they are on cloud nine.

"Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"

Li Zian's sudden attack with his large face startled Xu Qingmeng.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Keep talking nonsense and I'll kick you out of the team!"

"Oh no! I was wrong, sister-in-law."

Li Zian immediately put on a mournful face and begged, which made Xu Qingmeng blush with anger.

"You still dare to say that? I really kicked it!"

"No, no! I won't say anymore!"

Lu Yun helplessly pressed down on Li Zian's head and said.

"Alright, stop fooling around. We're in the final rounds now. Let's get to work."

"Alright, Yun-ge! Where are we going to pull monsters this time?"

Seeing this, Xu Qingmeng's face flushed as she spoke.

"I learned the Blink skill, so I can also pull monsters."

Lu Yun thought about it and agreed. There's strength in numbers, and this was the final scene, with the monster's experience points reaching their peak.

With the number of professionals decreasing sharply, now is the perfect time to grind monsters.

"Okay, then the three of us will pull the monsters together. Let me see where we should go."

As he spoke, Lu Yun took out the Haotian Compass.

Although it specializes in assisting with missions, it can also provide an arrow for special items, such as boundary flags or nearby bosses, which can be considered a bug.

However, just as Lu Yun clicked to use it, a flashing orange arrow appeared directly in front of him.

Lu Yun was startled and subconsciously looked ahead in the direction of the arrow.

"This, this is..."
