Necromancer: I Am A Disaster Chapter 42 - 0.1 Seconds; Incredible Performance

This test was designed to evaluate the combat power of class users.

While the monster's level was somewhat high, it shouldn’t pose a problem for full-fledged class users. This setup had been in use for many years without issue. Typically, battles lasted between 10 seconds and half a minute, showcasing the participants’ combat capabilities.

However, Lin Moyu presented an anomaly.

He defeated the monster instantly, making it impossible to properly evaluate his combat strength.

“What do we do now?” An examiner asked, breaking the silence.

All eyes turned to a middle-aged man in a Mage robe, the official in charge of the Mage class test. His expression was troubled; the purpose of the test had been completely undermined.

At that moment, an old man entered the room.

“Sir Ning, why are you here?” The examiners immediately stood and saluted.

“I heard a new class has emerged this year.” Ning Xuanfeng said in a deep voice, “I came to see for myself.”

The light screen displayed Lin Moyu’s performance, and Ning Xuanfeng studied it intently, “He seems like a promising young man.”

The examiners quickly explained the situation.

After listening, Ning Xuanfeng spoke in a deep voice, “You want to measure this new class’s true strength, but the superior class parameters are insufficient? Then raise the difficulty to the legendary class setting and administer a second test.”

One examiner hesitated, “But wouldn’t that be unfair? And how should we calculate his score?”

Ning Xuanfeng smiled and said, "This isn't the first time something like this has happened. Other class users have instantly killed monsters before. Still, this case is exceptional. First, he has secured first place in the test and will be awarded 100 points. If he passes the second test, grant him an additional 1,000 points, which I'll personally cover."

“Sir Ning, you must be joking! We can’t let you shoulder the cost.”

“That’s right. We’ll handle the points. As you instructed, we’ll proceed with the second test.”

……

Lin Moyu waited briefly before another light screen appeared before him. On the other side, a new monster emerged. It looked identical to the previous one, but its aura was noticeably stronger.

[Please take the second test and kill the monster in front of you.]

Lin Moyu didn’t find it odd that there was a second test, assuming it was part of the standard procedure. Unbeknownst to him, this was far from ordinary—he was receiving special treatment.

As soon as the light screen vanished, Lin Moyu launched Soul Blaze.

The Mage-type monster shrieked in agony and collapsed instantly.

Once again, it was an instant kill.

The examiners were stunned, still unable to discern anything meaningful from his performance.

In the legendary class setting, the monster’s level was typically four levels higher than that of the examinee. The Mage-type monster Lin Moyu had just defeated possessed the attributes of a level 20 creature. Yet, the result was the same—a swift and decisive kill.

“This combat power… I can’t even begin to imagine how strong he’ll become.”

“Could he be using powerful equipment?”

“No. He’s only level 16 and doesn’t have any advanced gear. This is entirely his own strength.”

“What should we do now? Should we continue testing him?”

All eyes turned to Ning Xuanfeng, the most senior figure present.

After a brief pause, Ning Xuanfeng shook his head, “There’s no need. Proceed with the second round of the examination.”

By this time, the first round had concluded for the other examinees as well.

A commanding voice reverberated in everyone’s ears: “The first round of the examination for combat-type examinees has concluded. Of the 632 participants, 522 have passed. The results will now be announced.”

A ranking screen appeared before everyone’s eyes.

[Lin Moyu, 0.1 seconds, points: 100]

[Zuo Mei, 3.2 seconds, points: 70]

[Xia Xue, 5.2 seconds, points: 40]

Lin Moyu had shockingly taken first place, completing the task in a mere 0.1 seconds.

A class user called Zuo Mei, who finished in 3.2 seconds, came in second, while Xia Xue’s 5.2-second performance earned her third place.

Wang Zihao, the junior guild leader of the Dynasty Guild, placed fourth with a time of 5.5 seconds.

The top three received 100, 70, and 40 points, respectively. All participants ranked fourth and below were awarded 10 points each.

Wang Zihao’s face turned red with anger as he saw the rankings.

“How am I not even in the top three?!” He fumed, “I should have taken first place! 0.1 seconds? Is this some kind of joke? There must be an error. This result is absurd!”

He wasn’t alone in his disbelief. Many others found Lin Moyu’s result hard to accept.

Xia Xue, however, looked at the ranking with a determined expression, “Dummy Lin is amazing. But I won’t give up!”

Gao Yang’s face lit up with exaggerated admiration, “Boss is boss for a reason. Incredible! You’ve gotta hand it to him!”

Meanwhile, Lin Moyu scratched his nose awkwardly, “Did I overdo it?”

What surprised him more was the sheer number of eliminations—over 100 participants had failed in what seemed to be a straightforward round.

The commanding voice boomed again, silencing the murmurs: “The second round of the examination for combat classes is about to begin. Examinees may choose their difficulty level. Warning: the second round carries the risk of casualties. Please select a difficulty that aligns with your ability. If you find yourself in danger during the second round, you may shout, ‘I give up.’ Your test will immediately end, and your final score will be the points you have accumulated up to that moment.”

The voice outlined the details of the second round, leaving a tense atmosphere hanging in the air.

The second round was structured similarly to a dungeon. There were three difficulty ranks to choose from: ordinary, nightmare, and hell.

Monsters of different difficulties yield different points: one point for ordinary rank, three for nightmare, and five for hell.

Participants were given a 30-minute time limit, with the objective being to eliminate as many monsters as possible within the allotted time.
