Soon, both groups continued their charge into higher rounds. Chen Mo’s group was the first to reach the 50th stage, followed closely by Yan Yingyue and Shen Bingbing.
"It feels as if they have no limits," someone in the crowd murmured.
"They’ve reached them now," a teacher, who had previously been part of the Academy Alliance’s instance assessment team, interjected. "The 50th stage isn’t an ordinary slaughter stage. This one is filled with a multitude of Golden BOSSes, each as strong as a level 20, first-transition professional. It’s beyond what they can handle now."
Another spectator sighed, "Indeed, when it comes to SSS-level achievements, none are easily obtained. This difficulty is truly absurd! It would be a tough battle even for a level 20, first-transition professional. Getting a title seems incredibly tough!"
"It’s almost over for them," someone else concluded.
「Inside the instance.」
Now surrounded by a hundred monsters, each with strength equivalent to a level 20, first-transition professional, Shen Bingbing couldn’t help but feel her scalp tingle.
"It looks like we’ve reached our limit," Shen Bingbing remarked with a wry smile.
"No, I have another way," Yan Yingyue stated.
Actually, up to this point, Yan Yingyue had never possessed Shen Bingbing. They had managed to reach this far relying solely on Yan Yingyue’s powerful Support abilities, combined with Shen Bingbing’s own strength and her Frost Assault Suit.
"What way?" Shen Bingbing looked at Yan Yingyue with curiosity. Based on the support effects Yan Yingyue had provided earlier, Shen Bingbing felt that Yan Yingyue already demonstrated the strength of a five-star professional. Could she possibly have another trick up her sleeve? The real reason she had invited Yan Yingyue to team up was to determine if the record in the exam instance was primarily Chen Mo’s achievement or Yan Yingyue’s. After witnessing Yan Yingyue’s power, she was already leaning towards the idea that Chen Mo was, perhaps, just normal. But she hadn’t expected Yan Yingyue to possess yet another ability.
"I can possess you and amplify your attributes, but you’ll need sufficient recovery ability to continuously maintain a high multiplication factor."
Yan Yingyue recalled the incredibly high multiplication factor Chen Mo had handled when she possessed him. That truly wasn’t a multiplier an ordinary person could sustain.
"My Ice Invasion Suit has a passive: as long as there are units affected by Extreme Cold nearby, my recovery speed increases by 1%. My recovery ability shouldn’t be an issue," Shen Bingbing replied.
As Yan Yingyue cast the possession skill, Shen Bingbing promptly received a notification.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Professional Yan Yingyue is using the "Saint Possession" skill on you! During possession, you will gain attribute enhancements and some unrestricted skills from her. However, a certain percentage of your maximum life value will be deducted every second based on the amplification level, starting at 1%. Please confirm!]
Starting at 1% of maximum life value per second! This deduction rate is pretty intense.
Although Shen Bingbing was surprised by such a rapid HP deduction rate, considering the strength of her suit, she could easily offset it. She chose to agree immediately.
The next moment, she saw Yan Yingyue transform into a stream of light and merge into her body.
Because Yan Yingyue had obtained a title from teaming up with Chen Mo and had also received some special consideration from the Academy Alliance in recent days, her own attributes had significantly increased since she last possessed Chen Mo.
After Shen Bingbing checked her current attributes, she couldn’t help but be astonished. She hadn’t expected Yan Yingyue to provide such a massive attribute boost! Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel★fire.net
No wonder Yan Yingyue and Chen Mo could set a record in the exam instance! This is equivalent to a powerful individual shattering the instance’s attribute cap! It’s practically like using cheats!
Then, a question suddenly struck Shen Bingbing: did Chen Mo possess such strong recovery ability back then?
Shen Bingbing and Yan Yingyue’s team had found a way to break the stalemate and were preparing to clear the stage.
Meanwhile, Chen Mo and Fang Datong were leisurely playing tic-tac-toe. For them, this stage was still a breeze. It was merely a question of how much time it would take to pass. Since it was the final stage anyway, they planned to take their time and clear it slowly.
On one side, a team had to showcase all their talents just to have a chance at clearing the stage. On the other, it was an easy, laid-back stroll to victory.
Half an hour later, Yan Yingyue and Shen Bingbing were the first to be teleported out. As soon as they emerged, they saw on the big screen that Chen Mo and Fang Datong were—unbelievably—also on the 50th stage!
Yan Yingyue didn’t seem to react much, but Shen Bingbing was visibly surprised.
After teaming up with Yan Yingyue this time, she had started to think she’d overreacted regarding Chen Mo breaking the exam instance record previously; perhaps Chen Mo wasn’t truly unique. But then, Chen Mo delivered another shock.
"Just the two of them managed to reach this stage?" How on earth did they do it!?
Not only was Shen Bingbing puzzled, but everyone in the audience shared the same question at this moment: How exactly did they manage it?
Everyone had been mystified by this for a long time and were eagerly waiting for these two oddballs to exit the instance so they could finally get some answers!
