Chapter 58 Anomaly, Resistance, and the Silver-Haired Girl Who Controls the Undead
Inside the Provincial Department of Education.
Staff members came and went, keeping the place very busy.
After a day and a night, the number of light spots on the giant sphere has decreased to less than one percent, leaving more than 6 people, and the number continues to decrease at a rate of dozens per minute.
"At this rate, I'm afraid only about a thousand students will be able to hold out until the third day," a staff member reported.
"Although it's cruel, that's exactly what we want. Students who can survive in a harsh environment surrounded by ferocious beasts not only possess strength, but also perseverance, wisdom, and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Only such students are qualified to step onto a higher stage and receive more resources."
"Deputy Director, teachers from Kunlun University and Wenming University have visited and hope to learn more about the top 100 students."
"Let them go back, we'll talk about it after the college entrance exam."
As Yun Zaiye spoke, his gaze remained fixed on the dozen or so points of light that had entered the three hidden maps.
Suddenly, two points of light in the abyss labyrinth went out one after the other.
"It's Cheng Ningning from Guanwu No. 2 Middle School and Zheng Dong from Linquan No. 1 Middle School. They've been eliminated," a staff member announced.
……
Dungeon Abyss, [Tree Demon Maze]
"tread!"
"tread!"
"tread!"
Lin Junhao, pale and handsome, walked through the dimly lit maze-like passageway, the sound of his leather boots hitting the ground echoing in the narrow corridor.
The sound attracted a ferocious beast.
"flutter!"
"flutter!"
A swarm of bloodthirsty moths, each as large as a calf, flapped their wings and flew toward him, their eyes glowing red.
Lin Junhao raised his head, a strange purple light flashing in his eyes.
He raised his right hand, and his arm instantly stretched and grew larger, turning into a giant wooden hand that was slippery and covered with a lot of viscous liquid.
The giant wooden hand, as if alive, opened its mouth like a giant python and swallowed the swarm of bloodthirsty moths that flew in.
As the giant wooden hand returned to its original shape, Lin Junhao swallowed hard, as if he had swallowed something.
"Almost there...almost there...once I increase my strength a little more, I'll be able to feel the power of my true form..."
Lin Junhao didn't open his mouth, but a strange sound came out.
The purple eye at the back of his head kept writhing and changing position under the flesh, finally reaching his forehead.
"Kukuku..."
Lin Junhao, whose single eye on his forehead emitted an eerie purple light, spread his arms wide with a joyful expression. Accompanied by a strange laugh, his arms and legs transformed into slippery tree branches that continued to grow and spread, piercing into the surrounding passageways and spreading and dividing throughout the entire maze. Any ferocious beasts in the maze that touched the tree branches would lose their ability to resist and be directly swallowed by the giant mouths splitting off from the tree branches!
Cheng Ningning, who was leveling up by killing monsters in another part of the maze, had just felt the earthquake around her and hadn't even reacted when the wall in front of her collapsed with a crash. Countless giant sticky tree branches crushed down like a tentacle, swallowing the second-tier ferocious beast she was fighting!
"Holy crap, what the hell is that?"
Cheng Ningning was shocked. Having changed her job to a mechanic, she immediately summoned another mechanical turret and activated her S-level explosive talent.
"Bang bang bang!"
"boom!"
"Da da da da da!"
The relentless barrage of firepower was still insufficient to stop the oncoming tree tendrils.
"What on earth is this thing? How can there be something like this in a dungeon?"
Cheng Ningning's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Could it be that I've stepped into some forbidden trap?"
There was no time to think.
Danger is imminent!
She had no choice but to crush the teleportation stone and disappear into the maze at the last second.
Another prodigy who entered the Tree Demon Maze map, Zheng Dong from Linquan No. 1 Middle School, was also caught up in this undeserved disaster, ending his college entrance examination with a score of 352.
………………
the other side.
[Lost Giant Tree]
Upon entering the second level, Niu Zhan was surrounded by a group of second-tier ferocious beasts as large as houses—the Purple Poison Bullfrogs. His proud physical body and strength were unable to penetrate the slippery skin of the frogs, which were soft yet capable of withstanding powerful attacks.
Coupled with the venomous attacks and sticky, soft tongue of the Purple Poison Bullfrog, he was caught in a fierce battle and could not escape even by using his talent. In desperation, he could only crush the teleportation stone.
……
"The bull in the Lost Giant Tree has also been eliminated," a staff member from the Provincial Department of Education noted.
……
Hidden Map - [Insect Sea Cave]
The three points of light slowly advanced into the depths of the earth at a gentle pace, eventually passing through three caves and converging in a deep underground cavern.
"It's you."
Xia Qinghou was somewhat surprised when he saw Lin Qingyan, "I didn't expect you to have come this far."
"..."
Lin Qingyan glanced at him indifferently out of the corner of her eye, too lazy to pay him any attention, and instead looked at the third person present.
She was a girl with long, silver-white hair, gray eyes, and snow-white skin.
She wore a gray mage's robe, held a staff, and had a slender figure. Beside her was a two-meter-tall skeleton knight holding a shield.
"Are you Pei Congyun from Beijiang No.1 Middle School?" Lin Qingyan asked.
The silver-haired, gray-eyed girl nodded and asked, "Who are you?"
"Lin Qingyan, Nanjiang No.1 Middle School".
Lin Qingyan introduced herself.
In her previous life, she had also heard of the other party's great name. He was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Jiang Province, with SS-level talent and a legendary profession. After the college entrance examination, he entered the Civilization University and graduated in just one year, becoming a sixth-level martial artist. He was hailed as one of the top ten supernovas of the Great Xia Dynasty. However, for some unknown reason, he disappeared in the turmoil of an eighth-level abyss.
If she were alive, becoming a king would be a certainty.
In this life, if given the chance, Lin Qingyan would like to bring him under her wing, which is why she took the initiative to show him goodwill.
Pei Congyun looked at Xia Qinghou.
He brushed his bangs aside. "The same Nanjiang No. 1 Middle School, Xia Qinghou."
The silver-haired girl nodded and said in a pleasant, delicate voice:
"I can tell, you guys are amazing."
"but……"
"I promised my sister I would become stronger and become number one, so..."
"sorry."
"Please leave here."
The moment she finished speaking, a huge magic circle appeared beneath her, and mysterious elemental power spread from her body, lifting her full head of silver hair.
Under Xia Qinghou's shocked gaze.
Giant skeletal insects rose from the ground—some flying, some crawling, some spiders, some giant frogs—gathering behind her like an undead army!
"So this is the legendary class, the necromancer?" Cold sweat beaded on Xia Qinghou's forehead, but a smile still lingered on his lips.
"Then I'll get a little serious too."
call--
Countless azure hurricanes surged from his body, and Xia Qinghou's figure gradually transformed into a raging wind. It formed a towering tornado, spinning violently and emitting a sharp, howling sound.
A proud voice rang out from within the storm: "I am the embodiment of the storm."
S-Rank Talent - Storm Incarnation.
Lin Qingyan, her hair and clothes billowing in the wind, took a step forward with a cold expression and spoke calmly.
"This area is closed to traffic due to the storm."
Based on her, within a ten-meter defensive range, the gale suddenly ceased, creating a world of its own amidst the storm.
Inside the enormous cave, a fierce wind howled.
The three each occupied a side, competing against each other.

Instance - Lost Giant Tree.
The sixth floor.
"boom!"
A giant, silvery-white praying mantis, ten meters tall, crashed down in front of them.
Jiang Yuan also heard a ding sound in his ear.
