Over the years, the major exams have followed a pattern, with the fiftieth floor as a watershed.
The difficulty gradually increases for the first fifty floors, suddenly rising at the fiftieth floor, while the latter fifty floors are like a roller coaster, with great ups and downs.
It was said that the goal of every question setter is to simulate the rhythm of real Dungeon Instances as much as possible in the latter fifty floors. It was to give examinees a sense of clearing a real Dungeon Instance. This way, they would have some advantage when they actually enter Dungeon Instances later. In short, this was done for the examinees to accumulate experience.
The so-called Dungeon Instances rhythm refers to the X+1 model, meaning X number of rooms filled with large numbers of ordinary Monsters, plus one Boss Room.
The Boss in the Boss Room would be powerful, just like the Bosses in real Dungeon Instances.
When clearing Dungeon Instances, one might easily clear the initial minor Monsters, but when encountering a Boss, careful handling was necessary. Otherwise, one might pay with their life.
Arranging the examination in this manner means that in the latter fifty floors, one would encounter a Boss Room every few floors.
The further one progresses, the more frequent the Boss Rooms become.
This pattern applies not only to the whole major exam, regardless of difficulty. Thus, for Nightmare difficulty, a similar rhythm was implemented.
However, for the Nightmare difficulty, the X rooms in the so-called X+1 model do not have ordinary Monsters. They were all upgraded to Difficult or Terror Bosses. Even Mini Bosses that appeared in the first fifty floors have been eliminated from reappearing, not worthy of appearing in the following floors. As for the Boss Rooms, they contain more than one Nightmare Boss, with terrifyingly high Attributes.
Anyone seeing the Monsters in the Sky Scaling Tower that Lu Fan was clearing would curse, because these floors seem impossible for Humans to clear.
Forget about someone who just had their Profession Change, even someone who had their Second Combat Specialised Profession Change would be defeated here!
The principals present were seeing the content of Nightmare difficulty at such floors for the first time.
If they had not seen how powerful Lu Fan was, they would have thought the setter for the exam was mad. This difficulty was made for a madman.
However, Lu Fan’s appearance was an announcement. That there were indeed monstrosities like him in this world who can clear them.
Only such difficult problems can truly demonstrate the strength of monsters like Lu Fan. No, perhaps the difficulty should be even higher.
After all, Lu Fan has already rushed to the seventieth floor in the blink of an eye, facing Level 30 Nightmare Bosses, and there are as many as five of them.
However, the result? Five Level 30 Nightmare Bosses are directly stunned by Xiao Ye’s Frightening Roar, and easily torn apart like dry twigs.
From start to finish, Lu Fan did not feel any pressure.
For a moment, all the principals watching Lu Fan doubted their existence.
They questioned if Lu Fan was even Human. These problems were made difficult so could he have respected them and at least spared them some face?
The fastest challenger, Hong Wu, has only cleared to the fifty-fifth floor. Yet, he had not only surpassed him but left him so far behind he could not even see the dust he left behind.
If one did not know better, they would think Lu Fan was clearing the Easy difficulty.
If the examination setters knew about this, they might even question that the exam they had set was too simple, and increase the difficulty of Nightmare difficulty next year. What then?
Lu Fan inside the Sky Scaling Tower did not know what was happening outside, a group of old principals and high-ranking officials from the Education Board were in disarray.
Right now, he was merely happily harvesting Experience Points.
Clearing the Sky Scaling Tower up to now, Lu Fan encounters a Boss Room every three or four floors, with multiple Nightmare Bosses in each Boss Room. The strength of some Nightmare Bosses has long surpassed that of the Light Abhorrer.
Moreover, it was clear the one who had set the exam had put in a lot of effort, placing different Bosses together who can even use Skills in coordination, achieving better battle efficiency than merely one plus one.
The examination setter’s aim was to hope that different Boss combinations would bring greater difficulty to the examinees. To clear the floors, examinees would need to use their brains, seeking problem-solving strategies based on the opponents’ characteristics, rather than just trying to brute force their way through.
However, Lu Fan did not need to care about this at all. Lu Fan’s method was to simply steamroll through.
Problem-solving strategies? Sorry, but that was merely for the weak.
In front of Xiao Ye’s over 3,000 Strength, Lu Fan’s level of clearing was completely unreasonable.
What was being reasonable when he was the reason!
Whatever Boss or not, one Earth Splitter would crush them all.
If one Earth Splitter was not enough, then add a Frightening Roar.
So far, Lu Fan has not encountered any Boss that could survive and regain consciousness after being stunned by Xiao Ye’s Earth Splitter or Frightening Roar. Even Bosses known for their strong defence crumble like paper at a touch.
This dimensional strike by Xiao Ye has turned Lu Fan and his Dragon into Experience Point harvesting machines. After harvesting the Bosses on the seventieth floor, both Human and Dragon Levelled Up again, reaching Level 18 and Level 13 respectively.
