At this moment, in the exam hall, there were fifty students being tested simultaneously with Logan.
With an average stage of Apprentice 2-star, even the residual waves of the Mental Perception Analyzer could cause life-threatening injuries to them.
Owen was worried about Logan's safety on one hand, and the other students' well-being on the other.
As he rushed into the control room, intending to shut the machine down, he heard a sudden explosion.
The entire control panel was shattered, and the examiner in charge of the machine was killed on the spot.
Even the chief examiner, Peter, was lying on the ground, covered in blood.
"Peter! This is a crime!"Owen glared at Peter beside the control panel, then turned and ran out, carrying two unconscious students out of the room.
The commotion in the exam hall quickly spread to the outside.
As more and more staff and candidates were carried out, unconscious and bleeding, the waiting students were in shock.
The once orderly line of examinees broke into chaos.
Ambulances and fire trucks gradually arrived at the center of the test square.
On the square's perimeter, the Holy Maiden Evelynna was about to get into her carriage with the angel Diana, but the sound of the emergency alarms caught her attention.
"You did this?"Evelynna turned to Diana, already guessing the cause of the incident.
"I was just worried that Logan might cause trouble, so I asked the examiner to be a bit stricter with him,"Diana replied casually, not taking the crisis seriously.
Evelynna nodded slowly, not scolding her. "Hmph, what trouble could he possibly cause? You know, if the Mental Perception Analyzer could be set to Apprentice 5-star, our score would be far higher than 1000."
She then took Diana's hand, smiling, "Although your actions were a bit unnecessary, you're not wrong. After all, what's wrong with a beautiful angel protecting her master?"
As she said that, Evelynna lifted Diana's hand and gently pressed it against her cheek, rubbing it slowly with a look of satisfaction.
...
On the other side of the square, as the chaos in the exam hall was about to spiral out of control, a light rain began to fall from the sky.
A powerful wave of holy energy mixed with gentle Mental Power descended upon the examinees, instantly calming their panic.
Then, Nancy Priest descended from the sky on a golden Griffin, landing in the square.
Some people in the crowd recognized her and shouted, "God bless the people!"with devout expressions.
At the same time, the principal of Logan's school, Mark, rode a Two-Headed Chimera and flew to Nancy Priest's side.
This incident had specifically targeted Logan, and the ones affected were all students from Morning Light High School.
In a single blow, dozens of promising college entrance exam candidates were injured.
Mark was ready to kill the chief examiner Peter on the spot: "Damn it! This is a crime!"
"Stop scolding for now, let's go check the situation inside first,"Nancy Priest glanced at Mark and rushed into the exam hall.
Mark followed closely behind.
When they saw that the Mental Power test machine where Logan was still running, their hearts dropped instantly.
Especially around the Mental Perception Analyzer, dozens of familiar corpses lay scattered in all directions, a gruesome sight that stunned everyone.
"Damn it! Testing a high schooler with elite-level Mental Power-this is murder!"Mark roared, rushing toward the Mental Power test machine, determined to destroy it.
But before he could reach it, Nancy Priest suddenly stepped in and blocked his path. "No!"
Mark's attack was interrupted, and his face twisted with anger. "Nancy Priest, are you also going to become an accomplice now? That's my student in there!"
With a wave of his hand, Mark pushed Nancy Priest aside and tried to destroy the analyzer again.
Nancy Priest's face darkened. "Mark, calm down! No high schooler can withstand a elite-level Mental Power attack. Even if it's your student, he's already dead!"
She continued, her voice sharp and cold. "And I'm warning you-half the students haven't even been tested yet. If you destroy this machine now, who will be responsible for the damage? Your school's scholarships were funded by the Temple!"
Nancy's words struck like thunder in Mark's ears.
After a long internal struggle, Mark finally sighed, giving up his attempt to save Logan. "Nancy Priest, let's look for other injured students."
---
Not long ago.
Inside the Mental Perception Analyzer.
Logan stood at the center, his body wrapped in a thick wave of Mental Power energy, muttering under his breath. "Damn it, this level of Mental Power is supposed to be Apprentice-level testing?"
Lilith hovered in midair, guarding Logan's front, taking half the pressure for him. "Master, don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you."
She flapped her wings and moved to the edge of the test area.
Through the cracks in the machine, her eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
"Life Drain!"
Soon, the Crimson Lion-still unconscious outside the machine-began to tremble.
From the sky, a stream of life energy flowed through an invisible mental link, pouring into Lilith's forehead.
Her cheeks flushed red as she leaned in close to Logan, feeding him the energy in small, careful doses, stabilizing his brain function.
Every time Logan was about to break, his mind on the verge of collapse, Lilith would give him a burst of life energy to keep him going.
When the Crimson Lion's life was drained, she moved on to other familiars.
There were plenty of unconscious students and familiars in the hall.
This cycle repeated, and Logan felt pain mixed with a strange joy. His Mental Power was slowly increasing.
After Lilith had drained the life of the twentieth familiar, the Mental Power surrounding Logan gradually faded.
The screen inside the Mental Perception Analyzer lit up, displaying the following information in front of Logan:
[Candidate Code: MG10086]
[Stage: elite 1-star]
[Mental Power Index: 1000]
[Potential Total Score: 2000]
2000 points?
The maximum score was supposed to be 1000!
Wait a second…
elite 1-star?
When had he even upgraded?
Logan, filled with unexpected joy, rechecked Lilith's stats.
[Familiar: Lilith]
[Race: Succubus (Infernal Saint Hybrid)]
[Stat: Darkness]
[Rank: B-level 5-star]
[Stage: elite 1-star]
[Talent: Natural Charisma, Expert in Passion]
[Skill: Weaken Will, Life Drain, Enslave Mind (0/3 controlled)]
[Stat: Power 25, Stamina 24, Mind 80, Agility 50]
[Training Recommendation: Whip 100 times per day, for 7 consecutive days… Probability of unlocking the skill "Mind Whip"increases with the number of days, Current Probability: 15.5%]
"Logan was super happy when he saw that Lilith not only got better stats after upgrading, but also got an extra spot to enslave another target."
"Lilith, you're really my lucky charm!"
Feeling Logan's real affection, Lilith blushed slightly.
"It makes me happy to help my Master, Lilith."
Lilith was already completely exhausted, and her whole body was leaning on Logan's shoulder.
When Logan finally opened the door slowly, he was shocked by what he saw.
Looking at all the dead familiar bodies in front of the door, Logan finally understood.
The cost behind his and Lilith's upgrades, if turned into money, probably added up to millions.
"That's why Owen told me to go work for the military. Normal groups just can't afford to train a strong familiar tamer."
After saying that, Logan took Lilith and quietly left the exam room.
At the same time, the atmosphere on the square was strangely weird.
Evelynna and Diana had already planned to leave this trouble spot.
But just as they started their car, the ranking on the score board changed again.
"My god, who is this 10086 candidate? How did he get 2000 points?"
"I don't believe it! Why did I only get 400 points? Are people really that different?"
"Could it be a machine error? You all saw it-Mental Perception Analyzer had a big breakdown and killed a lot of people."
As the discussion got louder, Evelynna and Diana both got out of the car and looked at the score board.
Others might not know what 2000 points meant, but the two of them knew very well.
Only Logan had a chance to get that score today in the talent test.
"He didn't die! How did he even do it?"Diana stared at the score board and clenched her fists, looking confused.
Chapter 8: One More Time, 2200 Points!
The changes on the score board quickly caught the attention of the staff.
That meant there was still a student finishing the test?
There were still students who were still alive!
Colonel Owen had just thrown the chief examiner Peter into an ambulance when he turned around and looked at the newly updated score on the board.
When he saw that the mysterious No. 10086 candidate had a stage of "elite 1 Star,"Owen's frown instantly relaxed.
He turned to look at Peter and smiled slightly: "Even though I don't have proof that you did it, your luck sure isn't very good."
After saying that, Owen didn't care about Peter's shocked look and ran quickly toward the exam room.
After Owen ran far away, the ambulance finally echoed with Peter's angry roar.
"Damn it! It must be a machine error! That guy really got lucky!"
In the exam hall.
Principal Mark and Nancy Priest stood at the entrance, looking at the intact Logan and Lilith, and their faces showed all kinds of expressions.
Especially Mark, when he saw Logan wearing the uniform of Morning Light High School, his face turned into a big bunch of wrinkles: "Hahaha, so it's our Morning Light High School's top student. You're all right, that's great!"
Nancy Priest stood beside him and also recognized Logan and Lilith.
But her face didn't show any surprise, only confusion and curiosity.
"Mr. Logan, we meet again. You look good,"Nancy Priest said, congratulating Logan for surviving, and then summoned a golden Griffin to heal Logan.
After the holy light passed over Logan, Lilith was surprised to find that this senior student who had just gone through a life-or-death situation had no injuries at all, not even a headache or brain concussion.
That was not right!
Thinking about this, Nancy Priest walked to the score screen in the exam room and pointed at the 2000-point score.
"Can you tell me how you did that? A elite-level mind attack should have killed you on the spot."
"Right, right, Logan, you should tell us. You really brought a big honor to our Morning Light High School. I'm going to give you a medal of honor and have the whole school celebrate you,"said Principal Mark, who had just learned Logan's name and looked at him with curiosity.
Seeing that two top people were so interested in his score, Logan didn't plan to hide his strength.
The incident just now was definitely not an accident. There was definitely someone trying to kill him behind the scenes.
Although he didn't know who the person was yet, Logan could show them with action-your assassination plan failed, and you are really a clown!
Thinking that, Logan turned around and walked back into the Mental Perception Analyzer, quickly pressed the switch.
"What are you doing!"
"Are you crazy?"
Two voices shouted in a row. Mark and Nancy Priest rushed to the front of the Mental Perception Analyzer and beat on the closed door.
Soon, the detector started running again, and a lot of mind energy spread out, making the temperature in the whole exam hall rise. The alarm that had just stopped started ringing again.
Nancy Priest and Principal Mark looked at each other and saw the same confusion in each other's eyes.
Then, Principal Mark shouted and a bright light flashed behind him-the image of a Two-Headed Chimera.
"Familiar Possession!"
In a blink of an eye, Principal Mark's eyes turned narrow, his teeth grew longer and sharper, and even his skin sprouted scales.
Nancy Priest felt the wild energy coming from Mark and was about to say something.
But Mark gave her a fierce look and cut her off before she could speak.
"Princess Priest, if it was an ordinary student, it wouldn't matter. But Logan might really be a elite-level."Mark said, then reached out and jammed his hand straight into the door of the Mental Perception Analyzer. "Do you know what a elite-level high schooler means? Even if it destroys this test, I have to make sure Logan is safe."
As he spoke, Mark pulled hard, and the door of the Mental Perception Analyzer easily ripped open like paper, leaving a big gap wide enough for a person to walk through.
Through the crack, Mark and Nancy Priest saw Logan standing in the center of the machine, surrounded by a thin, hazy mist-exactly the energy of a elite-level Mental Power.
But what surprised them was that this time, Lilith wasn't helping Logan take the pressure at all.
From start to finish, Lilith was just leaning against the wall, completely relaxed and not worried about Logan's safety at all.
"This kid is overconfident!"Mark muttered under his breath and was about to rush back into the machine to pull Logan out.
But just as his hand was about to touch Logan's arm, a clear beep rang in his ear. The test screen updated again.
[Candidate Code: MG10086]
[Stage: elite 1 Star]
[Mental Power Index: 1200]
[Potential Total Score: 2200]
...
"Logan, you..."Mark was about to scold him, but his eyes caught the screen. "How did your score go up by 200 again?"
Then, Mark's eyes-still in beast form-suddenly shrank back to normal, and his scales disappeared.
He had no idea how Logan did it. His hand, hanging in the air, shook for a while before slowly dropping down.
Nancy Priest stood outside the machine, and she also saw the score board in the exam hall. Her beautiful eyes landed on the 2200-point score, and she blinked in surprise. "Could it be because of that succubus?"
"No way! A C-level succubus couldn't help a familiar tamer upgrade that fast,"Nancy muttered to herself.
Then she suddenly realized, "Wait-was it the last Blessing Ceremony? Did it awaken some powerful skill in that succubus?"
The more she thought, the more it made sense. She couldn't hold back anymore and was about to step into the Mental Perception Analyzer.
At that moment, the exam hall door flew open, and Colonel Owen rushed in with a group of city guards.
"Crash the Mental Perception Analyzer!"
"There's a genius student still alive!"
The soldiers listened to Owen and shouted "Yes, sir!"before rushing toward the machine.
What they saw, though, was a newly updated score board and Priest about to go inside.
For a moment, the soldiers looked at each other, and all of them were completely stunned.
"You know what, Nancy Priest's butt is really nice!"
"Is that the point? Shouldn't the point be the score?"
"Oh, damn it, 2200 points. I got 2200 points on my last evaluation."
The soldiers chatted while gradually realizing something.
The person their Colonel Owen had rushed to rescue was just as strong in Mental Power as them.
"What the hell, we soldiers are about to be outdone by a high schooler?"
The more they thought about it, the more curious they became about the candidate inside the Mental Perception Analyzer.
Owen, seeing their reaction, also stepped up to the machine door.
When he saw Mark and Nancy Priest politely pulling Logan out of the machine, his mouth dropped open in shock.
"Logan? That genius candidate is you? You little brat, you actually took the test again?"
For a moment, Owen couldn't find the right words to express his feelings-shock, joy, confusion, all mixed up.
While the city guards stood frozen, waiting for Owen's orders, Mark's voice rang out:
"What are you all standing around for? This is our Morning Light High School's top student. Go get a stretcher, an ambulance-no, just get a helicopter right away and take him to the hospital for a checkup!"
Nancy Priest stood silently, nodding in agreement, and even took out her phone to call in the Temple Knights for backup.
Owen swallowed hard, his expression changing as he looked at Logan.
The city guard, the Temple Knights, and the education elite-three powerful factions coming out in full force for a poor student. It was absolutely unthinkable.
And while all these big shots were scrambling around for Logan, the crowd outside the exam hall had already gone wild.
One 2000-point candidate was already shocking enough.
Now, the score had been updated again-2200 points. It was like the candidate was leaving no room for anyone else to live.
"This… could it be someone cheating in the chaos?"
"2200 points? That's impossible. That score could get you into the lowest level of the Blood Cultivation Realm."
"Right, if you have that kind of power, you should be out there making big money in the Blood Cultivation Realm, not competing with us students for points."
