Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 97: A Familiar Figure in the Assessment
It seemed as if there were no other candidates whose actions shone in comparison, or perhaps the monitors in the main control room were also taken aback by Qin Chuan's swift and decisive killing.
After the Advanced Demon Bear fell to the ground, Qin Chuan had already left the range of the camera's view, but the video feed had yet to switch to the next one.
Watching the screen featuring the enormous Demon Bear, the vice-principal of the second middle school couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eye twice, excited that Qin Chuan had made such an impression in front of everyone, and filled with an involuntary sense of fear towards the Demon Beast.
"That Advanced Demon Bear just now, what level was it?" he couldn't resist looking at Lan Cheng and asking this crucial question.
"A Level 20 Demon Beast," Lan Cheng took a deep breath and slowly began, "Among the ten Advanced Demon Beasts, there are only two Level 20s, and that was one of them."
With these words, the noise level in the meeting room grew even louder.
Many observers were so excited they wanted to write their reports immediately, ranking Qin Chuan at the highest possible level.
But when their gazes swept over the notebooks that Zhou Xiaoyu and Fan Gang had opened at some point in front of them, it was like a bucket of cold water had been poured from head to toe.
Yan University and Huaqing, the two top universities of Yanhuang Country, had also taken notice of that remarkable young man?

Although it was expected, many observers still showed looks of disappointment, knowing that the schools they represented had no competitive edge before those two towering institutions.
Yet, a number of observers were undiscouraged, still shifting in their seats and not ready to give up.
They were prepared to use the utmost sincerity and the greatest treatment within their authority to try and sway the other party.
Amidst the diverse thoughts of the crowd, the scene on the screen finally began to change, and when they saw the content within the new footage, the observers who had been thinking about how to approach Qin Chuan quickly settled their minds.
Because on the screen, another candidate had encountered an Advanced Demon Beast.
It was Chu Zhou!
The vice-principal of the first middle school swung his fist in the air with tension and anticipation.
And Chu Zhou did not disappoint his expectations; possessing both Fire Attribute and Thunder Attribute, he managed a swift kill of the Advanced Demon Beast using the most explosive of attacks, becoming the second candidate in the practical examination to kill an Advanced Demon Beast.
After some deliberation, the observers then put pen to paper.
Seeing Zhou Xiaoyu and Fan Gang also raising their pens, the vice principal of the first middle school smiled with delight.
Good! They had managed to recover some ground!
The video feed switched once more, focusing on an Apprentice Level team battling three regular Demon Beasts. Although they were significantly outmatched in ability compared to the Official Level candidates, their cooperative efforts and understanding of each other allowed them to quickly succeed.
During this process, two candidates stood out so much that they garnered the attention and notes of many observers.
As time quickly passed and the video feed continuously changed, the tenth Advanced Demon Beast was encountered and killed by Song Ling, which let the vice-principal of the seventh middle school finally relax.
As one of the three full-score achievers in the last evaluation, Song Ling demonstrated equally formidable strength. His Wood Attribute Extraordinary Ability held a distinct advantage in Qingwang Mountain, though his luck was somewhat lacking this time.
"This is the last Advanced Demon Beast, isn't it?" The principal of the first middle school glanced at Lan Cheng and suddenly asked.
He felt a slight regret; out of the five Official Level candidates from his school, only three encountered an Advanced Demon Beast, and one of them barely triumphed after a long struggle.
"Yes," Lan Cheng nodded slightly, "All ten Advanced Demon Beasts have been killed."
"What a pity, there wasn't a candidate who killed two Advanced Demon Beasts," the second middle school's vice-principal said with regret.
In his opinion, Qin Chuan, who had first killed an Advanced Demon Beast, was the most likely candidate to kill a second one. If that happened, then the first place in this examination would have been securely won.
"May we see the current ranking of the examination points?" Zhou Xiaoyu's voice came through.
"Yes," Lan Cheng glanced at Zhou Xiaoyu and nodded his head, quickly pulling up the current point rankings and displaying them on the big screen.
The first to be displayed was the scoring ranking situation of the Official Level examinees.
Somewhat surprisingly, the one who ranked first was Song Ling, who had killed the last Advanced Demon Beast, with a total of 763 points.
At this moment, about an hour had passed since the start of the examination, subtracting survival points, she had obtained nearly seven hundred points just from killing alone.
Ranked second was Qin Chuan, whose total score was nearly one hundred less than Song Ling's, at only 672 points.
The third was Chu Zhou with a total of 621 points, and the rest fell below 600 points.
Seeing the almost staggering gap in Song Ling's scores, aside from the composed vice-principal of the seventh school, the other four vice-principals were starting to feel uneasy.
"Why is Song Ling's score so high?" the vice-principal of the second school couldn't help but speak up for Qin Chuan, "The Advanced Demon Beast that Qin Chuan killed was level 20, wasn't the one Song Ling killed level 18?"
"Just from that, she's missing 40 points."
"This..." Lan Cheng paused slightly in his speech.
To be honest, he was also unclear, as, like the others in the conference room, he had only seen part of the surveillance footage.
But it didn't matter, someone knew.
The personnel responsible for tallying scores were in the main monitoring room, and they had a clear record of how Song Ling's scores were obtained.
A phone call was made, and soon, a highlight reel of the kills captured by the hidden camera on Song Ling's exam helmet appeared on the big screen.
After watching just a short clip, everyone understood the reason.
Song Ling's skill seemed to be able to scout the demon beasts within a certain range, and with this ability, she was able to precisely locate and kill every demon beast nearby without wasting a bit of time.
Although she was not very lucky and almost missed the last Advanced Demon Beast, the number of ordinary demon beasts she killed far exceeded that of other examinees in Qingwang Mountain.
"My thanks."
The vice-principal of the seventh school chuckled and nodded to the other four vice-principals as if the first place in this live-action exam had already been secured in his pocket.
Although the other four vice-principals were frustrated, they were also helpless.
Because judging from the performances of the Official Level examinees, it seemed unlikely that the final assessment results would bring any surprises.
Following that, the Apprentice Level examinees' scoring rankings appeared on the big screen.
Seeing the current first place in the Apprentice Level, the vice-principal of the second school's expression lightened somewhat.
-----------------
"Whoosh—"
With a casual slash, Qin Chuan cleaved an eagle-like demon beast that pounced on him in two, shook the long knife in his hand, and revealed an expression of helplessness.
The emergency signal emitter came with a timing function; looking at the ten minutes left until the end of the examination, he knew he couldn't kill a second Advanced Demon Beast.
The nine Advanced Demon Beasts had probably already been killed by the other thirteen people.
Suddenly, Qin Chuan sensed something ominous and subconsciously executed Seek Frost Trace.
The next instant, a dark shadow pierced through the endless snow he had become, instantly splitting a rock on the other side in two.
Qin Chuan, now revealing his figure, looked at the familiar silhouette and was momentarily stunned.
"It's you?!"
