Chapter 42: Pushing Through the Maze!
Chapter 42: Pushing Through the Maze!
As Qin Fan headed to the third level with Xiaojiu and Su Rou, Hou Yibo, Tian Jinming, and others had just passed the first level.
Moreover...
The difficulty they chose was only the difficult level!
In contrast, Qin Fan chose the hell level!
Although Qin Fan was in a team, it was evident that Su Rou's presence was dispensable.
Even if solo, Qin Fan could clear the levels swiftly with his dragon pet.
Soon enough, Qin Fan reached the third level.
This underground maze has six layers in total.
The third layer is the true maze.
In front of Qin Fan was a winding underground cave.
Clearly, this level tests the students' perception and sense of direction.
However...
Facing such a challenge, Qin Fan coldly chuckled, then pointed forward, saying lightly, "Xiaojiu, flatten this entire maze for me!"
"Ang!!"
Xiaojiu happily responded, then stood at the maze entrance, flapping its wings.
Buzz!!
Next, Su Rou was stunned to see the dragon, originally the size of a cat, emit a crimson glow and rapidly grow at a visible speed!
Eventually, Xiaojiu's size reached over a hundred meters in height, with its head touching the ceiling of the underground maze!
Xiaojiu's current form differed vastly from its previous normal form.
First, its size...
Compared to its ‘Godfire Annihilation’ state, it was even more enormous and fierce, exuding terrifying power.
Its fiery red scales now had a dark red hue, appearing to be hardened.
The entire dragon body, besides being grand and majestic, was filled with an extreme sense of power.
Indeed...
This was Xiaojiu’s fourth form, ‘Power Shakes the Sky’!!
"Ang!!"
After successfully transforming, Xiaojiu let out a deafening dragon roar, then...
Under the amazed eyes of all the spectators, the massive red dragon charged at the maze with its body!
Boom!!
The walls, which were designed to block passage and could not be destroyed even by level 30 experts, crumbled like tofu under Xiaojiu’s assault.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
...
In just a few seconds, Xiaojiu had created a two to three-kilometer-long path, plowing through the maze.
With one sprint, Xiaojiu covered several hundred meters.
A few strides and the maze’s end was reached.
Su Rou, standing beside Qin Fan, was completely stunned!
She never dreamed that this perception and sense of direction test would be solved in mere seconds by Xiaojiu's charge.
Not just Su Rou...
Liu Bin, Liu Jinliang, Luo Yang, and others outside were the most shocked!
They watched as the meticulously designed level was reduced to rubble by the charging red dragon in mere seconds.
The maze’s exit was presented to everyone.
Of course...
What shocked them the most was Xiaojiu's immensely powerful body!
In the second level, Xiaojiu’s normal dragon breath instantly wiped out 500 zombie monsters in seconds.
They thought Xiaojiu was a magic-oriented dragon, but Qin Fan’s dragon pet could also transform into a power-oriented form!
Incredible!
A top-level dual magic and martial arts dragon!
No, likely a top-level holy dragon!
If it were any other beast pet, their views would be shattered.
But seeing it was a dragon...
Well, that's expected.
The dragon race's strength and exceptionalism are universally acknowledged by all humanity and races.
“If my teacher saw this, his expression would be very complicated. It took him half a month to design this level..."
"Yet, Qin Fan's dragon pet broke it in under half a minute with its overwhelming charge."
Liu Bin exclaimed, then showed a complex smile.
“After this level, there's no doubt even with a team, Qin Fan will be the top scorer in Tianyun Province!”
Director Liu Jinliang of Anning City Education Bureau affirmed.
Other principals and teachers remained silent, clearly agreeing with Liu Jinliang.
Zhao Li and Luo Yang were the happiest!
Zhao Li, Qin Fan’s homeroom teacher, and Luo Yang, his principal.
Both had direct ties to Qin Fan!
If Qin Fan becomes the provincial top scorer, Anning City High School's name will resound throughout Tianyun Province!
...
...
At this moment.
Qin Fan was already heading to the fourth level.
Meanwhile, Hou Yibo, Tian Jinming, and other prodigies frowned as they faced over 300 zombie monsters.
Even at the difficult level, there were over 300 small monsters.
Buzz!!
Without hesitation.
Tian Jinming raised his staff, hurling holy light spheres at the zombies.
Boom boom!!
The explosions instantly drew the zombies' attention.
"Roar!"
The zombies growled and lunged at Tian Jinming.
He dodged while continuously casting spells at the zombies.
It was evident Tian Jinming's spellcasting was swift, and his skill mastery was impeccable, proving his status as a prodigy of Anning City was not merely due to his family's support but also his formidable abilities.
After dealing with the 300 zombies, ten minutes had passed, and Tian Jinming's mana was down to 50%.
He was disheveled.
His white robe had claw marks.
Clearly, he was attacked but his armor protected him.
“Heh! I bet Qin Fan and Su Rou can't even pass this level!”
“I chose the difficult level, and there were 300 monsters. The hell level must have 500 monsters?”
“Even if they manage to pass, it will take them at least an hour!”
Tian Jinming thought coldly.
Others shared the same thoughts.
Unbeknownst to them, the class they deemed useless was already breezing through, reaching the fourth level without hindrance.
Su Rou, holding her staff, obediently followed Qin Fan, running all the way.
Next, they would face the elite monsters.
