Chapter 85: Chapter 85: An Unbelievable Score, Bad News
The light column, which had only been five meters tall, suddenly started shaking violently. And the testing machine in front of Aiden was shaking wildly.
“Is the machine broken? Where are the maintenance staff?” the examiner shouted loudly.
But just then, the shaking machine suddenly went quiet. The light column slowly disappeared, and then, a thick, tall column of light — dozens of meters high — suddenly appeared and shot up into the sky!
Seeing the bright light, the other test-takers instinctively closed their eyes and wiped away tears that had started to flow.
They stared in shock, completely confused about what was happening.
One person said.”Did the machine break down? On the live stream, Jade’s light column when he broke the record was only about nine meters tall.”
“Yeah, Aiden’s light column is dozens of meters now. The machine must have a problem!”
“It’s very possible. The equipment used in the first round has been around for a long time, so some errors are normal.”
But even though they said that, the students didn’t dare to be too sure.
After all, Aiden had just hatched a Mythic Pure-blood Dragon Clan in front of them.
Anything that seemed impossible suddenly became uncertain when it came to Aiden.
While they were talking, the examiner suddenly ran to the testing machine and looked at the score on the screen.
“999 points?”
“The machine is broken! No one can get 999 points. It must be a machine error!” the examiner shouted loudly.
Luke’s figure suddenly appeared behind the examiner. He also looked at the information and shook his head, saying.
“It should be correct. The total of Aiden’s four attributes reached 20000.”
“That matches what I know.”
Suddenly, the whole room went crazy. Many test-takers doubted if they had heard wrong.
20000?
Epic Light Knight Logan’s total of four attributes was only 4000 or so.
But Aiden, just a Magic Apprentice, had reached 20000!
That was impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Only the students from The White City couldn’t help but jump up and wave their arms, shouting:
“That’s right! It’s definitely true!”
“Even without any equipment, General Aiden can still crush those so-called geniuses!”
“999 points! Hahahaha, who are Logan and Victor? They are nothing!”
“Genius? Genius is just the doorstep to see General Aiden!”
The excited students from The White City stood in sharp contrast to the shocked and doubtful others.
The examiner bit his lip and kept saying.”It can’t be 999 points. The machine must be broken!”
“Oh, really? Why are you so sure the machine is broken, and not because I just should have gotten this score?” Aiden looked at the examiner calmly.
His choice was definitely right. If he hadn’t made a pact with the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon, his score probably wouldn’t have been so high.
“No, it’s impossible. You can’t get such a high score because…” The examiner stopped himself halfway, suddenly closing his mouth.
He almost let the secret out.
As the vice chairman of the Sovereign City Reclasser Association, Luke said directly.”It’s simple. Let the test-takers who were tested before take the test again.”
Soon, the first test-taker from the test center, a Gold Rank Reclasser, appeared again with a nervous face.
“Occupation: Barbarian Knight, Tier: Gold, Level: 15…”
A light column of about three meters appeared.
“Total score: 320 points.”
No mistake at all!
The students from The White City immediately shouted again.
“Look, it’s the same!”
“999 points! Aiden General’s first-round score is 999 points!”
“Unbelievable! The first person ever!”
“The first person!”
“The first person!”
The continuous cheers made everyone in the room realize that the testing machine was definitely working fine.
Aiden from The White City got an unprecedented score in the first round — 999 points!
Even Mythic Reclassers like Victor and Jade were completely crushed by Aiden!
The live stream, which was already full of viewers, became slow and even crashed.
The news about Aiden’s score spread online at an incredibly fast speed.

Unlike other videos, the third one only appeared online for a short time before being taken down and disappeared.
At that moment, in the Sovereign City, Logan and Owen’s previous celebration and happiness had turned into a joke.
Some people had recorded their reactions before and after, made a video in the fastest way possible, and just posted it online. It immediately went viral.
Logan looked at the video, where he and Owen were being made fun of, and he was furious!
“Damn Aiden! I don’t believe it! It can’t be real, Owen, didn’t you say you had already messed with the testing machine?”
“How could this happen!”
Owen’s face was dark. How could he have expected something like this to happen?
Aiden was just a Reclasser from a small city, yet he kept causing him pain again and again.
Was it possible that Aiden was really the absolute genius from the hidden family?
As the grandson of the First Minister, Owen knew some information about the mysterious hidden families. They only appeared in front of the public when there was a big crisis in the Great Shaw Empire.
“Wait, no, according to the records, there has never been a William family in hiding!”
Owen’s thoughts were all messed up, and he didn’t notice the growing irritation in Logan’s eyes.
“Alright, now it’s all over. If I lose, I have to give those lowlife people from The White City 10 billion!”
“10 billion! That’s 10 billion!”
Logan thought about it and couldn’t help but feel pain. Even though he was a royal genius with his father’s help, coming up with 10 billion wasn’t easy.
He suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself.
If he had known this would happen, he never should have agreed to the bet!
Logan was full of regret and anxiety. The 999 points completely destroyed his confidence and pride.
“Don’t worry, it’s just the first round. The College Testing score is the sum of the first round and the final round.”
“Now you’re almost 300 points behind Aiden. There’s still a good chance to turn things around in the final test!” Owen took a deep breath.
Even though he didn’t have a bet with Aiden, seeing Aiden win and being praised by others was something he couldn’t stand!
Up to today, he still sometimes had nightmares. He dreamt about being chased by members of the Evil Demons Guild in the wilds outside The White City.
Everything was Aiden’s fault!
“This time, we work together. We not only need to beat Aiden, but we should also try to make sure he disappears completely in the final test.” Owen said, his eyes full of hatred and killing intent.
If it weren’t for the rule that a pet couldn’t change its master once a contract was made, he would have tried to take the Mythic Pure-blood Dragon Clan from Aiden.
Such a powerful pet, owned by Aiden, who was basically a dead man, was a huge waste!
At that moment, Logan suddenly said.”No way. The eight Epic Demon’s Hearts are still on him.”
“Don’t worry. If we can kill Aiden, I’ll find a way to take everything from him, including those valuable Epic items.” Owen replied greedily.
But he didn’t hesitate at all — he immediately separated from Logan and went back home.
His grandfather, Felix, hadn’t returned yet, so Owen had to wait anxiously.
At the same time, in the palace.
Felix tightly clenched his fists. His face looked calm, but his chest kept rising and falling violently, showing all his hidden emotions.
999 points!
How could that be possible?
Aiden had really beaten Jade and set a new record for the first round of the test. And this record would be hard to break in the future.
He even started to doubt — was Aiden’s total score exactly 999, or was the test machine only able to show up to 999?
He didn’t know the answer. After all, no one had ever gotten such a high score before.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty, and my sincere wishes to you. Aiden is truly a genius unlike any before him! Even if he’s not a genius, he’s no weaker than one!” Atlas said with a smile.
Eira looked like she had just finished a big battle, with some sweat on her forehead. She had been extremely nervous just now.
To score higher than Jade? What does that even mean!
After all, Aiden’s record showed that when he first awakened, he was just an Iron Rank Magic Apprentice.
Of course, Aiden’s high score must have also been helped by his Mythic Pure-blood Dragon Clan pet.
“This is the luck of the entire Great Shaw Empire!” Eira said with a smile.
If another country had someone like Aiden, she would definitely feel jealous and envious.
“Now it’s all about the final test. But based on Aiden’s performance, there shouldn’t be any problem. He has a chance to take the top spot from Jade.” Eira added, unable to help herself.
The final test is harder. It requires some combat experience and focuses more on real battle performance.
And when it comes to that, the strongest among all the young people in the empire is Divine-Eyed Swordsman Jade.
Divine-Eyed Swordsman is a powerful Mythic class with the ability to predict an enemy’s move two seconds in advance.
In a direct fight, the Divine-Eyed Swordsman is almost unbeatable.
Aiden’s performance was unbelievable, but facing Jade, he still had a hard time surpassing him.
Just as Eira was thinking this, a government official ran over with a serious face and hurried steps, saying:
“Your Majesty, urgent news — the Elephant Empire has been attacked by a large force of Abyss Demon soldiers!”
