81: Chapter 81 I'm going to take on ten!

The Ghost Eye Demon Spider had appeared for less than a second before it locked eyes directly with Su Lin.

Just as the three examiners exclaimed that things were bad and feared Su Lin would fall straight into the Ghost Eye Demon Spider's illusion...

No one saw that the six eerie eyes of the Ghost Eye Demon Spider were met by Su Lin's eyes, which were like lightning.

Eye of Destructive Thunder!

With a sudden, explosive roar, the Ghost Eye Demon Spider's massive head burst open.

"Ghost Eye Demon Spider defeated, time taken: 0.1 seconds!"

"Score: 2000!"

The three examiners were stunned for a moment, having no idea what had actually happened.

Even though their cultivation levels were several times higher than Su Lin's, they were still shocked by the scene before them.

"What's going on? Why did the Demon Spider's head suddenly explode? Su Lin didn't even attack..."

"Wasn't the Demon Spider just casting an illusion? How did its head explode all of a sudden? Could there be a problem with the machine, or is the summoned projection unstable?"

Examiner Xiao He immediately began checking the machine, only to find that there were no issues whatsoever.

Just as Examiner Xu Yun and Examiner Xiao He looked puzzled and confused, Vice Principal Shen Lingyue dropped a bombshell.

"It was a mental backlash. The Ghost Eye Demon Spider couldn't withstand the mental backlash, which is why its eyes and head exploded together."

"Mental backlash!?"

Hearing Vice Principal Shen Lingyue's words, the other two examiners' pupils contracted. Mental backlash meant that initiating a mental attack against someone with higher mental strength would result in a counter-shock, where the spirit affects the body, causing the body to be destroyed simultaneously.

According to what Vice Principal Shen Lingyue said, the Demon Spider's sudden death was caused by mental backlash.

"That's the only possibility, and the place that exploded was exactly where it launched its attack from—its head."

"Does that mean Su Lin's mental strength is far superior to that of the Ghost Eye Demon Spider? How is that possible! Martial artists in the Meridian Opening Realm almost exclusively train their physical bodies; how could he possibly possess such terrifying mental strength!?"

"Even upon reaching the Divine Soul Realm, most martial artists have only just touched the threshold of mental attacks. To match the terrifying mental strength of the Ghost Eye Demon Spider, let alone exceed it, is simply as difficult as ascending to heaven..."

No matter how much the three examiners refused to believe it, the fact was right before their eyes. They never imagined that the youth drinking milk tea before them was actually a peerless martial arts genius.

Not only had he reached the Seventh Stage of Meridian Opening Realm at such a young age, with a shockingly powerful physical body, but his mental strength had also become a terrifying weapon of murder.

Truly terrifying.

Even the three well-informed examiners couldn't help but gasp in shock.

They all began to speculate about Su Lin's background.

The data showed that Su Lin was just an ordinary youth born in a small city, with a very average family, and he had no martial arts teachers to impart secret martial arts techniques to him.

Could this youth really have achieved such a terrifying level of cultivation solely on his own? If so, his talent would be unrivaled in the entire Tiannan Province.

Su Lin looked at the silent examination hall, raised an eyebrow, and looked toward the three examiners on the high platform.

"Is the exam over?"

Examiner Xiao He and the others quickly regained their focus.

"It's not over yet, but you have already obtained 3900 points. If you want to end the exam early, that's perfectly fine."

"3900 points is already a very high score; it's enough to rank in the top ten of this practical assessment."

Examiner Xiao He changed his previous irritable demeanor and said very patiently.

Su Lin nodded.

"What is the current highest score?"

"The current highest score is 4600, held by Jiang Hao, who defeated a total of twelve monster projections, half of which were high-intermediate level monsters or higher, in one hour."

"Jiang Hao? Is he that young master of the Jiang Family?"

"Yes."

As soon as Su Lin heard this name, he thought of the unpleasant experience he had that day while looking at houses at Jiang Real Estate.

"Then let's continue the exam."

"How much time have I used so far?"

"Less than two seconds."

The three examiners secretly clicked their tongues. Only now did they realize that Su Lin had killed two high-advanced level monsters and one high-intermediate level monster projection in less than two seconds!

Instant kills! All of them were instant kills! And it took less than a second!

With such terrifying strength, Su Lin naturally wanted to aim for the highest score.

Unexpectedly, Su Lin said something else that the three of them hadn't anticipated.

"Summoning them one by one is too slow. Can you summon a few more at once? That way, we won't waste everyone's time."

"Uh... actually, it's possible, but are you really sure? One-on-one and many-on-one are two completely different things; the difficulty will increase significantly."

"I suggest you fight at most two, or at most three at a time. Otherwise, even for you, your attention might not be enough."

Examiner Xiao He advised patiently.

Su Lin smiled and said to Examiner Xiao He.

"How many can you summon at once at most?"

"Ten."

"Then I'll fight ten at once."

"Are... are you sure?"

Examiner Xiao He and the others couldn't believe their ears. Could it be that a celestial being was standing before them?

"Please, Examiner, summon ten high-advanced level monsters and let me fight them all at once."

Examiner Xiao He gasped, operated the console, and nodded.

"He really is something else!"

"Ten it is!"

A slightly different mechanical voice came from the examination hall.

"Challenger, Su Lin, has chosen to challenge ten monster projections simultaneously!"

"The fourth, High-Advanced Level, Demon Fire Ape."

"The fifth, High-Advanced Level, Pendulum Snake Demon."

...

"The thirteenth, High-Advanced Level, Wind-Cloud Lion Head."

"Please, candidate, prepare yourself!"

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

The entire examination hall was filled with blue light, and Su Lin was surrounded by huge figures gradually taking shape.

Roar! Roar!

In less than a second, ten terrifying High-Advanced Level monsters were condensed and formed, each over three meters tall.

In the very center of their encirclement stood a youth of average, perhaps even slightly slender build, holding a cup of milk tea in one hand with an expression as calm as still water, showing not the slightest reaction.

Even the three examiners felt their scalps tingle at such a scene; they never expected a student who had just turned 18 to be able to face such a situation alone.

Although they were monster projections, once projected, they were no different from real beasts, and under human settings, they could even become more violent.

The three examiners asked themselves: if they were at that age, they would definitely not be able to do what Su Lin was doing.

The moment the ten terrifying monsters finished forming, they lunged at Su Lin simultaneously, as if pouncing on a piece of fat meat.

In an instant, Su Lin's figure was buried layer upon layer by the tall and terrifying bodies of the beasts.

The entire examination hall was instantly filled with the sounds of tearing and biting.

"Is Su Lin alright!?"

"Should we terminate the exam?"

The three examiners looked worried. Just as they hesitated, a deafening sound of thunder suddenly erupted.

Thick bolts of lightning were seen spreading out from Su Lin as the center, like a blooming flower bud.

The bolts of lightning instantly separated the monsters that were pouncing on him in mid-air.

Some monsters, unable to dodge in time, were even split in two directly by the lashing lightning.
