After hearing Ling Shangqing's words, the scene immediately erupted in a frenzy.
"Holy crap? No restrictions at all? But those rich kids must be decked out in diamond gear right now!"
"Definitely... It's just that low-level awakened individuals can't equip gear above diamond, otherwise, they might be walking around in full Epic or Legendary sets!"
"You're overthinking it, do you think Epic and Legendary gear is as common as cabbage?"
"Heh, you laugh at me for not understanding gear, I laugh at you for not understanding the rich..."
"It's over, didn't you guys consider that the wealthy can also infinitely chug potions to compete with us?"
"True, the only good news is that instant recovery potions develop resistance with continuous use in a short period, so the only things they can chug excessively are stat buffs and sustained recovery potions."
"Now I'm just afraid they'll just brute-force their way through with one-time use items!"
"Think about it, if those guys are just spamming magic bombs and skill scrolls like crazy, throwing money around, who can compete with them?"
"It's so unfair!"
"..."
The majority of the special recruits at Yan University were from wealthy families.
However, among the regular students, most came from ordinary families.
Upon hearing that the dungeon trial would have no restrictions on anything, these individuals naturally found it unacceptable.
Hearing the uproar and clamor below, Ling Shangqing sighed and said in a deep voice,
"The college entrance examination has restrictions to ensure that talented individuals among you are not buried and can choose a sufficiently good university."
"You could say that the college entrance examination is the last semblance of fairness you will experience."
"But the purpose of us universities selecting you is not to have you act as referees!"
"The Dragon Country and Yan University nurture you to help you grow."
"In this dangerous world, to fulfill your duty to humanity and the nation that is weathering the storm!"
"You can't possibly expect that when you face hordes of ferocious beasts in the future, or encounter alien warriors on the battlefield, they will play by the rules and fight you fairly, can you?"
"They are cruel, they are despicable, they are ruthless, and they will use every method they can think of to put you to death!"
"Financial strength is itself a part of strength!"
"If you still wish to live in the swaddling clothes of infants, you can leave Yan University at any time!"
As soon as Ling Shangqing finished speaking, all the agitated individuals in the audience fell silent.
When facing enemies, the ruthless reality has never had rules or restrictions.
Alien races and ferocious beasts would never hold back even a little.
The ruthless reality was something they would eventually have to face.
...
After about another ten minutes, Lü Qiufeng glanced at the opened secret realm gate on the arena and said with a smile,
"Alright everyone, there are two more minutes until three o'clock."
"At that time, you can enter directly."
"Once everyone is ready, the dungeon will officially begin."
"Everything within the dungeon will become the standard for your final score."
"Alright, enough talk, let's make the final preparations!"
Everyone present was energized and looked towards the secret realm gate suspended in the air.
What kind of scene would this dungeon trial be?
Beside him, Lin Ran stretched lazily and looked at Luo Qingyan,
"Can you get second place?"
"If you don't get it then, won't it be embarrassing?"
"Do you need me to lend you a hand and give you a chance to use my Black Flame?"
Luo Qingyan tilted her head,
"Are you already assuming you'll be first?"
"And giving me a chance to use Black Flame... Go to hell!"
"My dungeon clearing speed is also extremely fast."
"Without my buff, do you really think you can continue to be a god among men?"
Lin Ran burst into laughter,
"Then I hope you can catch up to my exhaust fumes..."
"Regardless, if you consume all your buffs and combine them with the movement speed of Angel Wings, you should still have a chance."
Luo Qingyan's head tilted further.
This guy was still so annoying! He was truly getting out of hand with his arrogance!
As the two were bantering, the countdown to the dungeon's opening began.
"5!"
"4!"
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
Boom!
The secret realm gate erupted with a brilliant glow, simultaneously transmitting the dungeon's information to the freshmen present.

The highest recommended combat power is only 14000?
That's too low!
This dungeon trial is really quite underwhelming...
Seeing such a low-difficulty dungeon, Lin Ran rolled his eyes and chose to enter alone.
Luo Qingyan also looked uninterested and followed Lin Ran's lead, also choosing to enter alone.
At the same time, many figures disappeared from the arena.
Almost all the special recruits chose to solo the highest difficulty dungeon!
Watching the entry notifications above, the regular students could only sigh.
"These monsters... Even if we team up, we can only challenge low levels..."
"That's why they're the special recruits!"
"What a monstrous difficulty! The recommended combat power for the highest difficulty is up to 14000!"
"There shouldn't be anyone in school who's a Tier 2 awakened person yet, right? This is ridiculous!"
"Alright, stop complaining and just enter the dungeon."
"What's the point of talking about this useless stuff? The amazing people can still solo it."
"Damn it, why are there so many freaks!"
"..."
