Changing Life And Career? I Planted The World Tree At The Beginning

Book of Crests relies on defeating monsters to increase its number of pages, which is a kind of alternative "leveling up".

If the number of pages in the Book of Crests is sufficient, the attributes provided by the crests alone can reach an extremely exaggerated level.

The crest borrowed by Chen Yu from the boss with a big beard can provide a maximum of 50 points of a single attribute.

The boss with a big beard's shop is just a small shop on the street, and there probably aren't any really good items inside.

Chen Yu has never seen high-level attribute crests.

But there should be Supreme Grade crests that can provide hundreds of attributes with just one.

Otherwise, candidates in this instance can only do manual labor and fight small monsters.

As a copy for the college entrance examination ranking competition, the role of candidates in it cannot be just a bystander.

Outside Stronghold City, there is a sparsely populated wasteland with sparse weeds.

The strong wind howls, stirring up clouds of dust, making the sky look particularly murky.

In the open wilderness, there are occasional bursts of mournful beast roars.

Looking into the distance, there is a continuous black mountain range, with the mountain peaks covered in pure white snow.

Behind Stronghold City, it stands in the wasteland like an old soldier holding a horn in a border outpost, desolate, lonely, and full of determination.

Passing by the military camp, not long after, there are scattered monster figures appearing ahead.

Most of the monsters on the wasteland are wild beasts.

A giant wolf, standing over a meter tall, spotted Chen Yu's figure and rushed towards him with a howl.

Chen Yu released a probing spell towards it.

[Wasteland Giant Wolf, Level 40 small monster]

A few seconds later, the wasteland giant wolf approached and pounced towards Chen Yu.

With an agility attribute of over three thousand points, Chen Yu easily dodged the wolf's attack, then retreated a bit to avoid getting blood splattered on himself later.

The wasteland giant wolf failed to land a hit and was about to launch a second attack when it suddenly noticed a rugged human figure standing in front of it.

However, this did not weaken the wolf's intention to attack.

It directly changed targets and pounced towards the figure with exaggerated curves.

However, when it pounced in mid-air, a huge man-eating flower suddenly unfolded in front of it.

So, the wasteland giant wolf crashed straight into the heart of the man-eating flower.

In the next moment, the man-eating flower suddenly closed, accompanied by the sound of cutting and chewing.

Chen Yu realized that his worries were unnecessary.

When the gluttonous spirit appears, not even a drop of blood, let alone bones, will be left behind.

"You guys, clear the way for me, let's go!"

Chen Yu summoned a few more spirits and rushed towards the direction of the Demon Dragon territory.

After running for about ten minutes, two towering mountain ranges appeared ahead.

There is a canyon in the middle of the mountains.

This canyon is named "Howling Canyon" on the map and is the boundary between the forces of the Heradic Empire and the Demon Dragon.

At the mouth of the canyon, hundreds of people are gathered in disorder, most likely candidates for the college entrance examination.

In the college entrance examination instance, Chen Yu has no interest in joining the crowd and continues to move forward.

Just as he walked into the valley, a warrior suddenly walked over and blocked his way.

"You, stop!" The warrior had a proud look on his face. "Didn't I make it clear enough just now? Howling Canyon has already been booked by our River Dragon Guild!"

"If you don't want to die, then leave quickly and find another place to fight monsters. Otherwise, don't blame the River Dragon Guild for showing no mercy!"

"The River Dragon Guild? Can a guild be formed in the college entrance exam instance?" Chen Yu was greatly surprised.

Upon hearing this, a candidate immediately stepped forward and whispered to Chen Yu, "The River Dragon Guild was not formed in the instance. It is a large guild in Eastern Capital City, and I heard that the guild leader is a sixth-stage expert."

"Right now, there are several young masters from the River Dragon Guild inside Howling Canyon. They forcefully occupied this leveling spot in the name of the guild."

"Brother, let's endure for now and avoid conflicts with them."

"All the examinees from Stronghold City know that Howling Canyon is the best monster grinding spot nearby."

"They won't be able to occupy this place for long. When more people gather, we'll stand together and kill them!"

"I see." Chen Yu nodded.

No wonder these people gathered here, and there were people trying to persuade him not to act impulsively.

So this was their plan.

However, Chen Yu didn't have a good impression of these examinees who gathered together.

The young masters of the guild must have made certain promises and offered benefits to gather their subordinates.

In other words, the River Dragon Guild, which occupied Howling Canyon, had cohesion.

As for the people outside, they were just a group of random individuals.

Everyone was an examinee with their own thoughts, and no one would be the first to rush forward and fight to the death.

If the number of onlookers didn't far exceed the level of the River Dragon Guild, it would be impossible to take over Howling Canyon.

However, the time for the college entrance exam was limited, and the examinees outside couldn't wait indefinitely.

After waiting for a long time, some people would inevitably leave one after another.

The several young masters of the River Dragon Guild probably understood this logic, so they didn't take the group of people outside seriously at all.

However, this had nothing to do with Chen Yu. His goal was just to pass through Howling Canyon.

"Please make way, I'm just passing by and not competing with you for monsters." Chen Yu walked forward and said to a warrior candidate.

"Huh, passing by?" The warrior candidate sneered disdainfully. "This is the funniest joke I've heard today."

"Let me tell you, today, no one can enter Howling Canyon!"

"Hahaha! Just passing by!" Several other candidates who were also guarding the entrance came over. "You're passing by Howling Canyon, so where do you want to go? Demon Dragon Territory?"

"There's a Level 50 BOSS blocking the entrance of Howling Canyon, and all the monsters are also Level 50. Tell me, how do you plan to pass by?" A rogue candidate in tight-fitting clothes sneered.

Another knight candidate also spoke up, "I don't care if you're passing by or just passing through. Today, if you want to enter Howling Canyon, you have to step over our corpses!"

"Are you saying that examinees leave behind corpses when they die?" Chen Yu was greatly shocked. "Are you sure?"

When examinees die in the instance, they don't actually die, so how could they leave behind corpses?

The several candidates guarding the entrance were clearly taken aback.

They didn't know the answer to this question either!

After all, up until now, they hadn't seen anyone die.

A few seconds later, the warrior who had first stopped Chen Yu reacted and impatiently said, "Whether there are corpses or not, you can't pass through here anyway, unless we die!"

"Boom!"

A burst of explosion sounded.

The warrior who was speaking turned into a white light and disappeared.

Behind Chen Yu, a thorny spirit slowly retracted its vine whip.

"Fact proves that there are no corpses left behind when examinees die!"
