Chapter 65: Ancient Temple Escape (2/2)

The letter “S” represented a truly elite status. S-class citizens were the absolute upper class in the entire Starlight Country, with only one S-class citizen among every hundred thousand people.

In the entire Phoenix City, the only S-class citizen he knew of was the city lord. As for others, he was not aware of any, but he knew that the total number of S-class citizens in Phoenix City would not exceed five.

What shocked him even more was that the examinee in front of him was so young, probably not even twenty years old, and was already an S-class citizen. This was as unbelievable as a minor becoming a city lord.

“Should we inform the higher-ups?” The beautiful instructor hesitated.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged instructor shook his head. “People of that level are not someone we can afford to provoke. If we leak his secret, it might bring us a lot of trouble!”

The beautiful instructor nodded in agreement, not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble for herself.

…

Upon entering the Virtual Combat Simulator, Qi Ji discovered that the five people from earlier were now constantly sizing each other up, trying to see through each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

After all, this assessment was also a competition of strength among themselves.

No one spoke, as the assessment was about to begin, and the atmosphere was tense. They all focused their attention on the upcoming exam, so the room fell silent for a moment.

“Beep! Beep! Beep! The exam countdown has started.”

“60”

“59”

A mechanical voice counting down the time appeared in everyone’s ears, and they all looked serious, except for Qi Ji.

Qi Ji used his talent to check the strength of the others and found that the strongest among them was only at the initial stage of the Warrior Level, while the rest had only reached the half-step Warrior Level. Although the difference between Warrior and half-step Warrior was only a thin line, the gap in strength was enormous.

Qi Ji also took a look at the person who had reached the Warrior Level, a slender young man with a somewhat lazy expression, who seemed very relaxed.

Qi Ji immediately thought of a phrase, “Having strength is confidence.”

However, looking at the young man’s expression, which seemed to be completely under control, Qi Ji felt like punching him in the face with his iron fist.

Brother, I have a cheat, but I didn’t say anything. Where did your arrogance come from?

…

“The exam has started. Please prepare, examinees!”

The Virtual Combat Simulator suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, as if to envelop everyone.

Qi Ji felt a flash before his eyes, and when he came to, he found himself standing at the entrance of a temple.

The temple was located on a barren mountain range, surrounded by strange rocks and yellow sand, with almost no vegetation in sight.

The ground was extremely hot, and his feet felt like they were being pricked by needles.

Qi Ji looked around and saw the five examinees standing not far from him.

Suddenly, a light and pleasant ethereal female voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

“Welcome to Ancient Temple Escape!”

“Next, you will be chased by countless demonic scorpions and bloodthirsty giant mosquitoes. Your mission is to escape. Along the way, you will also encounter other types of beasts that will try to obstruct you!”

“You can choose to kill them, but be sure to measure your strength. Don’t get caught by the beasts behind you, or your points will be cleared, and you will be eliminated from the competition!”

“When your points meet certain conditions, the system will automatically confirm, and you will be deemed to have passed the level!”

” Friendly reminder: beware of traps!”
