Chapter 68 Everyone underestimated Li Cheng's ability
In the audience, Miss Latania, wearing a hood, was clenching her fists and staring at Li Cheng who was walking onto the stage.

The vampire princess, who usually had a good sleep, suffered from insomnia for the first time last night.

She tossed and turned when she thought about her beloved disciple going to the examination table the next day.

There are always all kinds of thoughts in my head.

What if Li Cheng fails the assessment?
Well, then I had no choice but to carry the cross and go to the dean to beg her to keep Li Cheng.

What if it is discovered that Li Cheng possesses the power of pain?
Well, then I have no choice but to elope with my good disciple.

Two people fighting against the whole world together...

This feeling is quite good, quite like a romantic love story in a picture book.

……

In the examinee's seat.

Mu sat there dumbly, not saying a word as Hughes Dahl walked over, not even daring to look at him.

Damn it, I just wanted to pretend to be cool quietly, but now, not only did I fail to pretend, but I also got socially embarrassed. Who can I complain to?
Xius walked shyly and timidly, facing Mu who was sitting there, without saying a word, and even dared not look at him.

Damn it, I just wanted to follow the path of Gou quietly, but now, I can’t follow the path of Gou, and I’m pretending to be cool in front of Mu. Who can I complain to?
The two people sat side by side quietly, neither of them spoke first, and the atmosphere was quite tense.

"Well, let's continue watching the game. It will be Brother Li Cheng's turn soon."

In the end, it was Mu who broke the silence first.

"Well, I hope Brother Li Cheng can achieve good results."

Hughes Dahl also answered in a muffled voice.

"Well, it should be okay to pass, but I still think I can't beat you, Hughes."

"Uh, same thing. I don't think he can compare to you, boss."

"Don't call me boss, Hughes. I don't deserve it."

"...No, you will always be my boss..."

……

At the VIP table.

The vast majority of legendary figures had little interest in Li Cheng who stepped onto the examination platform.

On the one hand, it was because Li Cheng was not well-known in the Tianming Continent, and these legends didn’t know him at all.

On the other hand, it was because the results of the two candidates before, Mu and Hughes Dal, were too outstanding.

Even in a year like the Generation of Miracles, geniuses of this caliber were rare. To have one was already lucky, and to have two was unbelievably lucky.

As for the possibility of a third one?
"That's pure wishful thinking." God of War Bard commented: "I said, except for Xiu Si Daer who can barely suppress Wu Zimu, the rest of the candidates are all garbage."

"The only thing they can compete for is third place."

Liuli listened to Bud's words quietly without saying a word, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Based on her understanding of her lover, something beyond ordinary people's cognition will definitely happen next.

So she turned her eyes to Li Cheng.

……

"Please sit here."

"it is good."

With a gentle smile on his face, Li Cheng slowly sat down on the chair and raised the Sorting Hat.

Touching the hat that he had seen countless times in the PC version of the game, he suddenly had a feeling that was indescribable.

Is this an immersive experience?
I'm so lucky to be able to play this game.

"Student, please speed up a bit. There is no point in being nervous." The examiner urged.

The Sorting Hat also opened its mouth: "Relax, little buddy. I know you will feel stressed following two geniuses in the test, but it doesn't matter. Everyone has a predetermined destiny. Living a good life and playing your cards well are more important than anything else."

"I'm grateful for your advice." Li Cheng smiled gently and put the hat on his head.

The Sorting Hat was very satisfied with Li Cheng's attitude. After all, he was an old relic that had existed for thousands of years and had his own soul.

On weekdays, he likes to nag and act as a life mentor. For those juniors who are willing to listen to advice, the Sorting Hat is still willing to take care of them.

It secretly decided that if Li Cheng was just a little bit away from reaching the standard, it would give him some slack and let him pass this level.

But it can only be a little bit different. If it is too much different, it will go against his principles.

Thinking of this, the Sorting Hat closed its eyes and sensed Li Cheng's talent and strength.

"Well, Li Cheng, you have already reached the peak of the second stage before you even reach adulthood? Well, not bad, not bad. Then your talent..."

At this point, the Sorting Hat's voice suddenly cut off.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...more than 10 seconds passed like this.

There were also whispers in the audience.

"What's going on? Is the hat broken? I told you that thing is over a thousand years old and it's not reliable at all!"

"That's not right. Could it be that the hat test revealed that there was something wrong with Li Cheng?"

"Is there a problem? Sent by the Abyss?"

The examiner at the examination table also frowned and raised his hands to one side, ready to call for a fight at any time.

Just then, the Sorting Hat spoke again.

"Hello, sorry, please forgive my disrespect. Oh, the First Fire is above, the Order is above, the Crucible is above... all the gods are above, this is the first time I have seen such a talent in the past thousand years."

"This terrifying talent is as deep as the dark universe and as quiet as the tranquil deep sea."

"Um, can you speak human language?" The examiner frowned.

"I can't evaluate it with a simple grade, um..." The Sorting Hat said sadly: "If I have to evaluate it with a grade, I think Li Cheng's talent exceeds SSS!"

"What did you say?" The examiner looked at the Sorting Hat, then looked at Li Cheng, who was smiling gently, and said in shock: "Old man, are you really broken?"

"Who do you say is bad? Who do you say is the old guy?" The Sorting Hat narrowed its eyes and said, "I swear on my hat grid that I am absolutely not wrong!"

"Ahem." The examiner smiled awkwardly, then pinched Li Cheng's wrist worriedly, and sensed it with the help of the Sorting Hat.

Then, the shock in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

That's right, upon hearing that Li Cheng's talent surpassed SSS, the examiner's first choice was not to admire or be surprised, but to question the quality of the Sorting Hat.

There is no way. SSS-level talents are rare in the entire history of Full Moon Academy.

Not to mention surpassing the SSS level.

Among those who have detailed historical records, only the founder of the Full Moon Academy, the creator of the original magic ten thousand years ago, the profound Ms. Moonlight Walker, has achieved this level of talent.

However, Li Cheng did not realize that he had done anything great and just stood there smiling brightly.

Are you kidding? He is a player. As long as he meets the requirements and goes through the plot, he can upgrade infinitely and gain unlimited power.

In this world, how could there be an NPC with greater talent than me?
"Unbelievable, unbelievable, how is this possible? Am I witnessing history today? Ouch, my old waist."

In the VIP seats, the high priest of order, who had been doing nothing, suddenly stood up. Because he stood up too fast, he sprained his waist.

"A talent beyond the SSS level..." The High Priest of the Crucible also murmured to himself: "When the infinite terror of the abyss covers the Destiny Continent, the will of fire will send the seeds that rewrite the future into the world... Is this almost forgotten motto true?"

The God of War Bard was quite melancholy at this moment. He stared at Li Cheng on the examination table and felt his face burning.

One Hughes Dahl would be fine, but here comes another Li Cheng?
No, I just want my son to show off. Is that so difficult?
"Ah." He sighed sadly and consoled himself in his heart: 'It's okay, it's okay, at least this Li Cheng is just talented, and has not experienced the confrontation with the abyss, unlike my son Mu, who has already killed 21 believers.'

As soon as the idea came into his mind, he heard the Sorting Hat take two breaths of cold air, "whoosh" and "whoosh".

Then, just by listening to the tone, one could sense the Sorting Hat's fearful voice:

"1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 300, 800... 972? You have defeated the Abyss Cultists 972 times? Are there any high-level and elite Cultists among them?"

"No, that's not right, Li, Li Cheng, you, you, you... why have you defeated so many Abyss Cultists?"

"Why are there still so many Abyss Cultists who have been defeated by you more than once? Did they win the resurrection match?"

"Moreover, you, the souls of the Abyss that remain in you, he, they, even have a fear that is as solid as substance... Are they afraid of you? The Abyss Cultists, those crazy people are actually afraid of you? How is this possible?"

"You, what are you..."

"Who is this?"
