Chapter 78: Snatching People
Wang Chen's speed in clearing the level indeed shocked all the deans and ace mentors present.
Meng Yongsheng, Cao Wenbin, Shen Miao, and other top scholars from various provinces had just entered the second level.
Judging by their current performance, the second level would take them at least two more minutes to clear successfully.
But Wang Chen?
Even the director’s camera couldn't keep up with his speed!
How could this not be shocking?
"Dean He, it takes 15 seconds to switch between each window."
"After all, the entire viewing system is connected to thousands of camera feeds. To prevent system overload and malfunctions, it takes 15 seconds to switch cameras…"
The director looked at Dean He with an embarrassed expression.
There were a total of 1,200 freshmen.
There were four stages in the trial dungeon, and each stage had a panoramic high-definition magical camera.
In total, 4,800 high-definition camera images were being transmitted.
Since the freshman exam was held ahead of schedule, there was not enough time to prepare adequately.
As a result, the transmission of these images relied on a temporary small magical server.
To prevent the magical server from overloading and smoking or exploding, the magic programmers set a 15-second gap between switching cameras.
Hearing this, the deans and teachers present had stiff expressions.
"Wait 15 seconds?"
"Can we still see the boy's figure?"
"The camera is always one step behind him."
"It's okay, wait for 15 seconds. The boss of the third level is a level 60, three-star extraordinary bio-human. Its four attributes have reached 20,000 points. Once it fully fights, with the passive skills boost, it can reach 30,000 attribute points. I don't believe the boy can clear the third level within 15 seconds!"
Some teachers comforted with a smile.
"Hmm...yes, if even that bio-human is defeated by him in 15 seconds, it would be too unreasonable!"
"It should take at least a minute!"
"We should be able to catch up…"
During this conversation.
Soon, 15 seconds passed.
The director quickly pressed the camera switch button.
Swish!
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, the camera finally switched to Wang Chen's view.
However...
The screen was empty again!
Inside the entire prison space, apart from the mess on the ground, there was only the bio-human that had completely turned into charcoal.
"This…"
Originally, the deans and teachers who were looking forward to seeing Wang Chen in the third level were stunned again!
Even the woman in a white lab coat, who had been uninterested in everything with her head down, couldn't help but look up. Her icy blue eyes showed slight surprise at the empty camera screen.
"Hiss..."
"It seems we underestimated this boy Wang Chen!"
Dean Qu Changfeng of the Magic Academy said in amazement.
The astonishment in his voice contained a strong sense of joy.
It was the kind of joy one feels when discovering a priceless treasure!
Although the Magic Academy only accepts magic-related professions, Beast Masters are recognized as dual-skilled in both magic and martial arts!
Because the attack attributes of Beast Masters depend on their beast pets.
Beast pets are categorized into physical and magical types.
In combat, they are also classified into melee and ranged types.
So strictly speaking, Beast Masters can be classified as a magical profession.
At this moment.
Wang Chen's performance was even more thrilling to Qu Changfeng than during the career selection exams!
He was definitely top-tier talent!
His desire to recruit Wang Chen became fervent.
"Rather than underestimating that boy's strength, we underestimated that little snake!"
"The true rank of that little snake is definitely not an ordinary beast! At least it's a source beast!"
"Maybe...even a divine beast!"
As the dean of the Beast Pavilion, Wei Yuan's insight into identifying beast pets was undoubtedly high.
After watching the high school entrance exam video, he felt that Qin Fan's little snake was between the ninth-level spirit beast and the second-level source beast.
Now he realized he had still underestimated it!
That cute little azure snake was at least a ninth-level source beast, at most a fifth-level divine beast!
A divine beast!
Even for a dean like him over level 100, his highest-ranked beast pet was only a ninth-level source beast!
"Hiss!"
"Divine beast? Are you sure?"
Wei Yuan's speculation made several deans and ace mentors gasp.
When it comes to beast pets, this dean of the Beast Pavilion was an authority.
Although he said it was speculation, it was almost certain.
"Absolutely sure!"
"As a Beast Master, no matter how powerful Wang Chen is personally, he couldn't defeat a level 60 bio-human in seconds at this level."
"After all, nearly 90% of this profession's skills are pet-boosting skills."
"And his current speed in clearing the level, even the camera can't keep up. It must be that little bloodline-mutated snake in action!"
Wei Yuan asserted firmly.
The deans and teachers exchanged glances. Their silent communication was filled with astonishment.
The woman with icy blue hair and eyes adjusted her large-framed glasses, the light hidden behind her thick bangs flickering.
"Such a Beast Master prodigy, I hope none of you will compete with me later."
"After all, when it comes to the Beast Master specialization, my Beast Pavilion is the top!"
Taking advantage of the silence among the deans and ace mentors, Wei Yuan said righteously.
He looked as if saying, "It would be a waste if Wang Chen joined your academies."
"No, Dean Wei Yuan, I cannot agree with you."
Qu Changfeng, the dean of the Magic Academy, who had already taken a fancy to Wang Chen, immediately shook his head and said, "This little boy Wang Chen is exceptionally gifted. Do you think he needs your Beast Pavilion's guidance?"
"No! What he lacks is resources!"
"And my Magic Academy, if nothing else, is abundant in resources!"
"It is appropriate for Wang Chen to come to my Magic Academy. I, Qu Changfeng, guarantee him the top-level resource treatment! I would even give up my face to help him apply to the country for a third-level divine beast!"
These words darkened Wei Yuan's expression.
He wanted to refute, but the truth was evident, and he didn't know how to.
The Magic Academy is the wealthiest of the five major academies at Xuanyuan Academy.
Magic users are known to be the wealthiest among many professions.
And this little boy Wang Chen…
Indeed, no longer needed any guidance!
Anyone who had watched his battle recordings knew that this boy's combat skills were top-notch!
A natural combat genius!
Many people felt it was a pity that Wang Chen got a Beast Master as his profession.
Such talent would easily grasp any knowledge related to Beast Master combat, needing no guidance.
And the only help the school could provide him seemed to be 'resources'!
