Chapter 96: Chapter 96 - Defensive Barrier

The Big Tree Guardian’s explosive output and Skill refresh mechanism stunned everyone present. Even the teachers and University observers who were invigilating the exam couldn’t help but show a surprised expression and stood up from their chairs.

One of the University observers said with uncertainty, “That thing should have a Platinum-grade dungeon Boss panel, right?!”

“He should!” An observer from another famous university said,

“Each of those three lonely Yanan brothers of Yanan should have 8,000 HP, and high defense.”

“But this Golden Knight only used five Skills to kill one of them. This means that his Skill damage has reached more than 1,500 points, completely crushing the three shadows of Yanan brothers.”

“Looking at the effects of his Skills, it’s obvious that he’s a Knight whose attributes can be adjusted according to the enemy.”

“You’re saying—” The third University Observer choked “That thing is a summoned creature with a Class Panel and a dungeon Boss Panel?”

The famous school observer nodded and said, “Eight or nine out of ten,”

“I can only say that this female student is a pearl covered in dust. Her Awakened Talent should be the one to get the status of a special enrollment student.”

“That Priest student— who decided to take the close-combat route, isn’t good.”

“Although it looks like his damage is very high, and he can also heal himself and his teammates to dispel the negative states, the price is that he has to fight the enemy in close combat. This is undoubtedly putting himself in an extremely dangerous situation.”

“He doesn’t have the power of a Tank, the parry of a swordsman, or the lifesteal and super armor of a Warrior. He doesn’t have the multi-displacement and mobility of an Assassin.”

“Think about it,”

“In a real battlefield, facing those powerful enemies, especially those with strong crowd control Skills, wouldn’t he be easily beaten?”

“By the time he realized this, he won’t even have the chance to escape. He’ll be instantly killed by the enemy’s concentrated fire, without any damage output throughout the whole battle.”

“Then, could it be that this kid deliberately held back a trick, not wanting us to know his true strength?” A certain observer assistant who didn’t know anything asked curiously

“After all, he’s a special enrollment student recommended by the members of the Professional Alliance in Rivertown.”

“If his Skill level is really that average…”

“It wouldn’t make any sense.”

The observer from the famous school shook his head.

“No,” He said. “You’re mistaken.”

“I’m not saying that he’s bad.”

“It’s the opposite,”

“This student’s detailed performance is the best among the three. Whether it’s the timing of his moves, the timing of his dodges, or his reaction to the enemy’s attack, he’s at the top of the class.”

“In the official college entrance examination, he could get the highest score in all aspects, including tactics, awareness, and personal performance.”

“All I wanted to say….”

“This student’s train of thought as a close-combat Priest is too restrictive. If his Awakened Talent doesn’t give him enough survival ability, putting him in a chaotic battlefield is almost equivalent to taking the initiative to throw his life away.”

“It’s better to just be a backline Priest, only in charge of healing and dispelling.”

“Even if his Awakened Talent gives him a certain degree of survival ability, allowing him to become an existence that can resist, fight, and heal, he is only an all-around Professional with strong combat power. There are too many geniuses and experts who can replace him.”

“There’s nothing special about it.”

The school observer continued, “but that female student’s awakened talent is different.”

“She could summon a clone of herself.”

“Not only does the clone have high intelligence, but it also has a strong combat awareness and perfect operational details. It can also synchronize with the owner’s equipment and Skill effects, and call a Boss-level creature with two panels to be its helper, hehe.”

“When she grows up in the future, that female student can completely hide in safety and let her summoned creatures go to the front line alone to fight the enemy, becoming a combat personnel behind the scenes.”

“Even if the clone can’t defeat the enemy, her life won’t be in danger. Only the summoned clone will die.”

“Not only that. The beast summoned by this Awakened Talent usually comes with the ability to resurrect, even if it’s accidentally killed in battle, it can be summoned again and re-enter the battlefield after a moment.”

“If used properly, this doppelganger is equivalent to an immortal human-shaped combat weapon. It can enter dangerous foreign planes at will and investigate the enemies and environment inside.”

“Think about it. How much strategic value does that Priest kid have?”

“Is he worthy of the special enrollment student status?”

“F*ck…” The observer’s assistant reacted. “It seems to be the case?”

“No matter how high the damage output is, there are always substitutes. However, it has the only special ability, and that is the treasure sword.”

“However,” The school observer continued, “What you said also makes sense.”

“This Lin Ye student might still have some hidden cards that he’s not using.”

“After all, out of all the hard-level dungeons, Yanan Forest is just the simplest sample. The difficulty of conquering it is not high, so there is no need for him to show his arrogance—”

Halfway through his words, the observer from the famous school suddenly froze.

He realized that after the Tree Guardian killed the Yanan brothers, the dungeon didn’t have a “teleport gate”, which meant that they had not cleared the dungeon.

Which shouldn’t be the case. Those three brothers should be the end of it!

He watched as Lin Ye and the others continued to move north as if there were other dungeon Bosses that they needed to defeat.

“Huh?”

“What’s going on?”
