"Those puppets!"
"No way! All of them are Level 8 puppets??"
"That’s insane!"
"Damn, why are the puppets in the Nuwa Academy’s exam so perverse? Who the hell can defeat Level 8 puppets?"
"Fools! No one asked you to destroy those puppets!"
"Don’t view the Nuwa Academy’s exams with the mindset of other academies!"
"The reason these puppets are so strong is to prevent the exam participants from using violence to eliminate them and complete the protection objective."
"Essentially, the teachers at Nuwa Academy want to see the academy’s ability to protect."
"Even though these Level 8 puppets are quite strong, their attack power and logic align with the level of a second-year student."
"As long as you ensure that none of the protection targets die during the puppet attacks, you’ve passed the level."
The crowd discussed fervently.
Lin Yi also saw the detailed rules for the first stage.
[Remaining ti until archaeological excavation is completed: 9 minutes 59 seconds]
[Current living count: 10]
[Note: For each casualty, the rating drops by one tier. If casualties exceed three, the assessnt fails!]
That ans you just need to protect these people for 10 minutes.
Hmm, not too difficult.
Lin Yi raised his hand, and in the next instant, a brilliant shield covered the 10 protection targets.
Thud!
Thud!
Tap tap tap!
Boom!
No matter what kind of attacks those combat puppets used, they could not break through Lin Yi’s Shield of Holy Light.
This skill is a Tier Six Light-based Magic - Holy Light Protection.
Lin Yi had used it before during his battle with Su Wa.
Against soone like Su Wa, who could knock an opponent with a single punch, it could buy Lin Yi about a minute.
Not to ntion these puppets.
Combat puppets are also ranked.
Among them, Level 8 puppets naturally correspond to Eighth Transformation professionals.
Their inherent strength and overall quality far surpass other puppets.
But a puppet is just a puppet in the end.
Its combat logic is rigid and it only follows commands.
For a long ti after the start of the Catastrophe Era, these combat puppets indeed played a crucial role in aiding humanity.
But as more human experts erged.
These combat puppets gradually took a backseat.
Only a very few with super AI algorithms, along with weaponry and physical strength truly reaching the Ninth Transformation level, still shine in various fields.
Nuwa Academy, third floor, assessnt room.
Wu Fang glanced at Lin Yi in the scene and snorted softly.
Lan Ruoxi appeared at so point as well.
She had always been fond of Lin Yi and had inford Wu Fang long ago that if Lin Yi ca, they should let him move up to the second year without obstacles.
No one expected Wu Fang wouldn’t approve of Lin Yi’s S-tier and SS-tier task records.
"Dean, don’t bla ."
"Young people are too hot-headed. I want him to understand a principle."
"Sotis, certain goals cannot be achieved through violence."
Although Lan Ruoxi internally disagreed.
She had to outwardly agree to respect these veteran figures in the academy: "You’re right."
"But, Mr. Wu, doesn’t he have quite a priestly soul? Look how well he uses the Magic for protection."
In the scene, the shield under multiple spell castings was almost invincible.
Even though several minutes had passed, only a few initial shields were broken.
The shield covering everyone had over a hundred layers!
"In real combat scenarios, your protection targets are living humans, not cold puppets."
"This stage is not as easy as it seems."
Wu Fang pushed up her glasses and sneered.
At the instant her words ended.
An abrupt change occurred on the screen.
"What’s that!?"
"A prehistoric miracle!"
"I need to go over there and see!"
Lin Yi suddenly heard several "protection targets" next to him speak up.
Lin Yi felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
A bad premonition arose.
Sure enough, in the next mont, he watched as four or five "protection targets" rushed out of the Holy Light shield’s coverage.
Lin Yi’s face darkened.
In a mont.
He even thought of using gravity magic to drag these disobedient targets back and restrain them.
But in a real-life scenario.
If he were truly protecting a group of experts eager to research without regard for life or death.
Such actions would obviously go against the goal of archaeological excavation.
Lin Yi sighed.
He originally intended to uphold his scarce priestly soul.
In light-based Magic, the only purely protective spell he had was this Shield of Holy Light.
But now, you forced my hand!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Intense explosions and brilliant flas flashed within the ruins projected in the virtual simulation.
But those were not the results of attacks from the Level 8 combat puppets.
Instead, it was the result of their self-detonation and disintegration.
Gravity Tier Eight, Chaotic Gravity!
To deal with these chanical constructs, Lin Yi had tested this skill in the dungeon.
It’s incredibly effective.
Using it again at this mont.
No matter if you’re Level 8 or Level 9.
You will all be crushed into scrap iron by chaotic gravity!
The flas and smoke dissipated.
Only a field of broken parts remained, still sparking.
Lin Yi and his 10 protection targets remained unhard, happily studying the ruins.
"Hahahaha!!"
Mr. Lin, with a cigarette in his mouth, laughed heartily on the sideline.
He seed to predict this outco long ago.
"I knew it..."
"Protect? Why protect when I can just kill all the monsters, so I won’t need to protect anyone!"
"Damn, those were Level 8 puppets!"
"And they were all wiped out in an instant??"
"I can’t even understand what thod he used. It felt like everything vanished in a mont!"
Thud!
It was the sound of a fist hitting the table heavily.
Wu Fang was angry.
Visibly angry.
She originally thought to dampen Lin Yi’s spirits.
To let him know that not everything can be solved by violence.
But no one expected it to end like this.
Lan Ruoxi couldn’t help but lose her composure.
She had to keep a straight face to barely suppress her laughter.
"This is absurd... truly absurd!"
"I didn’t expect those Level 8 puppets to be destroyed in an instant!"
"What about Level 9 puppets... Deploy a Level 9 one!"
Wu Fang didn’t even know how to target Lin Yi anymore.
Lan Ruoxi finally spoke: "Mr. Wu, I think there’s no need for such a bias against him."
"I always believe in one thing."
"That is, when facing a task or objective, the best thod is the one that suits you the most."
"For the regular students of our academy, lacking offensive thods is why they dedicate their lives to protecting others."
"But he is clearly not suited for that path."
"Any thod that achieves the goal is excellent."
"Is it really so hard for you to acknowledge how well he’s doing in areas unfamiliar to you?"
