-----------

The Endless Mode was said to be endless, but the candidates only had to survive the 40 minutes of the 17th hour to earn a perfect score. However, the examiner couldn't give them such an opportunity, as the False Xel'naga would be stronger and harder to deal with.

Earlier, none of the candidates could survive even the first minute of the 16th hour, let alone the 17th hour. Even with the full preparation of the Astra Militarum, it was thought to last only 30 minutes; it was impossible to enter the 17th hour. This was only a theoretical hope.

However, at this moment, it was happening. Under the effect of the T-virus, the False Xel'naga were infected and began to attack their own kind. Additionally, due to the effects of becoming zombies, they were extremely hard to kill.

More and more infected False Xel'naga appeared on the battlefield, grouped into packs; almost the entire area was occupied by them. This was the most alarming aspect of the T-virus, it was extremely contagious.

When the 17th hour officially started, a much stronger False Xel'naga rushed in at the passage. However, as soon as they entered, they were startled by the scene in front of them. At the entrance, there were already infected False Xel'naga, and only a few normal False Xel'naga were left, besieged by dozens of infected.

Some of the more powerful False Xel'naga hadn't responded yet; they became targets for the infected False Xel'naga, driven by a bloodthirsty aura. Almost immediately, they surrounded and lunged at the False Xel'naga that had just entered. The newcomers were quickly overwhelmed by the infected.

Click! Click! Click! Click!

There came the sound of a scythe hitting something, or the sound of biting. Not long after that, the infected scattered. The observer saw that the Zerg below were covered in scars and bite marks. The other False Xel'naga that entered later met the same fate; they were submerged by the sea of infected.

A few moments later, the few False Xel'naga that had been attacked earlier started to mutate and then turned around to attack their own kind.

Seeing this scene, Sebastian knew it was going to be okay. Although the False Xel'naga of this hour were stronger, they still couldn't stop the mass of attackers. For example, the Zerg that might appear in the later hours would be more powerful, but there were ways to deal with the infected; however, that was no longer possible.

[ ===== ]

Everyone in the conference room of the Oakleaf School, in City Hall, and each one of the geniuses in the test area witnessed what happened on the planet. After seeing the newly arrived Zerg being submerged by the infected, anyone could tell that a seemingly impossible miracle was about to happen.

At Klikovichy City Hall, inside a vast space, two people hovered above the starry sky. A coffee table in front of them held two cups of tea. In front of the two, there was a projection of immense size showing the scene of the Infected and Zerg on Sebastian's planet.

Among these individuals was the Klikovichy Mayor, recognized as the strongest Mayor in the State. The other was a man in blue with a somewhat unique temperament.

"I didn't expect that," smiled the Klikovichy Mayor. "To deal with this year's most monstrous group, you have given the most difficult test in history. But instead of stumbling them, on the contrary... Haha, even the records have been broken by others."

"It's worth it to witness such a miracle with my own eyes," said the man in blue, gently sipping his tea, his expression indifferent. He was the creator of this examination.

"Instead, it's you," the man in blue remarked, looking at the Klikovichy Mayor with a faint smile. "Your city has not only lost its top spot; it can't even keep second place, so you'll have a headache next year."

"There's no difference between second and third," the Klikovichy Mayor replied leisurely. "I have nothing to say if I lose to such an outstanding genius. Besides..."

The Klikovichy Mayor raised his tone: "The test is not everything; there is a planet upgrade war after it. Maybe there will be a few candidates who did not perform well in the test who can change their situation."

"Change their fate?" The man in blue shook his head and said, "Throughout the ages, there have been so many masters, but how many of them can change their fate?"

[ ===== ]

In the first 10 minutes of the 17th hour, all the new Zerg that came in were overwhelmed by a mass of infected.

The second 10 minutes were also the same.

The third 10 minutes remained unchanged.

In the fourth 10 minutes, almost everyone stood up, staring at the projection on the planet while also observing the countdown.

Time passed, and finally, it came down to the last minute. New incoming Zerg were still unable to break through the infected as they were beaten severely.

"10, 9, 8, 7..."

"6, 5, 4..."

"3, 2, 1..."

"0-!"

The countdown concluded, and with a boom, the entrance to the planet passage began to close slowly.

[ ===== ]

The mass of Zerg, including the newly arrived Zerg and those that had just been infected, instantly disappeared.

A transcendental prompting sounded throughout the area: "Congratulations to the candidate for passing all levels of the Endless Mode and achieving the first perfect score in history."

In the sky, a seven-colored light emerged, seemingly celebrating this unprecedented record.

After the test was over, Sebastian was transported out of the test room! In the test area, not a single examinee remained; it was empty.

Sebastian glanced at the floating leaderboard in the sky, and the final list had been formed. Overall ranking of Sebastian: total score: 750 points.

Sebastian walked in the direction he came from, and a few moments later, he disappeared from the yard. As soon as he emerged, he realized something was wrong; it was packed with people.

There were not only candidates who had just exited, but all the school administrators and teachers from the Oakleaf School, including Merlin, Steiner, and Nelissen, gathered there, and all eyes were on him.

"Whoo-!" I don't know who shouted first.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

This was followed by a huge round of applause.

Principal Merlin approached Sebastian and said, "My boy, Sebastian, congratulations on your achievement of getting a perfect score in this year's test and beating the record."

After speaking, Merlin pointed to a spot in the front, indicating that Sebastian should walk forward.

Sebastian looked ahead and discovered that opposite the exit was a large group of masters with distinctive auras, and the one in the lead was the Mayor of Georgia, who was smiling at him.

Sebastian felt a bit helpless. This seemed to be an unwritten tradition in this world: the champion had to undergo a process similar to a red carpet walk, so he could only move forward. The surroundings were empty.

Everyone purposefully backed away, leaving enough space, and all eyes fell on Sebastian. This scene was broadcast across the entire State, and those concerned about the test were glued to the projection, including those other geniuses.

[ ===== ]

"Aren't you a little envious?" Outside the yard of the City, Sean looked at Sebastian walking toward the Mayor of Georgia and asked, smiling, "You can't say you don't envy that."

Morgan didn't deny it either. There was little difference between being first and being in the top four. Why did the four super demons still have to compete? For the glory of gaining everyone's attention.

[ ===== ]

In Klikovichy City Hall, Kazik lowered her head slightly upon entering the area.

"Father, I want to go to the Babel Tower," Kazik said, determination shining in her eyes.

The Babel Tower was a very mystical treasure. Each floor had a special space inside, and there was a huge reward for passing each floor. However, it was also very dangerous!

The Klikovichy Mayor smiled slightly and said, "If you want to go, I will not stop you."

"I'll go tomorrow," Kazik gritted her teeth and declared. After that, she turned around and left!

Observing her departure, the man in blue laughed and said, "It's good for your daughter to have such a rival; she might be able to unlock her potential and lay a solid foundation for the upcoming upgrade battle."

[ ===== ]

The Mayor of Georgia was surrounded by many masters, and Edward stood beside Lucy. As they watched Sebastian approach, Lucy's eyes were still red from having cried. If only she could get a little closer, she might secure a place in a Super-Tier Academy.

It was a known fact that in first-rate and second-rate universities, the difference lay only in reputation; the actual variance wasn't that vast. However, Super-Tier Academies had qualitative differences, and the impact on a person was huge.

"This test isn't everything," Edward comforted. "There is also a planet upgrade war. If you perform well, you can change your circumstances."

"I know; I won't be discouraged and will work hard," Lucy gritted her teeth and said.

However, Edward sighed inwardly, realizing these were merely words meant to motivate young people and get their blood pumping. Throughout history, countless masters had existed, but how many could truly alter their destinies? If it were otherwise, people wouldn't pay so much attention to this test.

[ ===== ]

On the other side of the area, Bailey and a middle-aged woman stood together quietly, observing Sebastian in the center of the field.

"The test is over," the middle-aged woman remarked. "But for you Level 1 Planet Masters who have just awakened your planet, the real journey has just begun. This stage is still too small. In the Academy, you'll meet great geniuses from all parts of the Federation, and even some from legendary places. It'll be your real stage."

"Hmm," Bailey nodded slightly, her expression complicated.

[ ===== ]

Finally, Sebastian reached the Mayor and the masters. This time, the Mayor of Georgia did not approach to pat him on the shoulder; instead, he formally extended his hand to shake hands with Sebastian. After some brief congratulations, this year's test officially concluded.

Whether it was an ordinary student or a top student, all were unexpectedly outshined by an unknown candidate. A wave of shock spread throughout the entire State.
