Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 26: Void Sacrifice Ritual

“This is like the college entrance exam, isn’t it? Truly magnificent…” In the grand hall, Qin Xian stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the solemn interior of the sacred temple, unable to suppress a sigh of admiration.

Indeed, Qin Xian… had never actually participated in the college entrance exam. The reason was simple: he didn’t need to. Qin Xian had awakened an SSS-grade legendary combat class—the Oracle Knight.

The phenomenon created during his awakening was so remarkable that it alarmed even the Regent… and he was a rare dual-class individual. He was a national sensation, a true super genius!

Qin Xian was directly recruited by the Imperial Capital Academy, the foremost of the empire’s three great academies, becoming the 8th special recruit in its history.

The previous seven special recruits all became famous superpowers in human history, capable of contending with the terrifying beings of the Void.

Therefore, although Qin Xian was a student of the Imperial Capital Academy, he had never taken the college entrance exam.

In fact, even if Qin Xian’s talent were average, the influence of the Qin family would likely allow him to gain special admission to the Imperial Capital Academy.

Although the empire’s various academies are relatively independent, the Imperial Capital Academy is heavily infiltrated by the major aristocratic families.

Of course, precisely because of this, the Imperial Capital Academy receives the most resources and thus has the most strength of all the empire’s academies!

Chen Beiguo was also observing the state of the sacred temple. 

Behind him, a middle-aged man with a stern appearance said in a deep voice, “Governor, we have secured every corner of the Temple of Divine Revelation. No issues have been discovered so far….”

This middle-aged man, equally formidable in aura, was a level 51 powerhouse named He Bin, the Director of the Security Council of the East Sea Province, and a confidant of Chen Beiguo.

The Security Council is the institution responsible for social security within a province. It can investigate any behavior that threatens safety or order.

Compared to the Inspectorate, which mainly oversees the internal affairs of the government, the Security Council has broader powers. Under its command are approximately 500 security officers, each at least level 25 or above in strength.

Chen Beiguo’s ability to dominate the East Sea Province and firmly suppress the Provincial Speaker, Yu Feng, is due to his extraordinary ability and control over the Security Council, a department with real power.

Upon hearing He Bin’s words, Chen Beiguo felt somewhat reassured and nodded. However, the unease in his heart did not dissipate.

What exactly does Qin Xian want to do!? He didn’t believe that Qin Xian had assumed the temporary role of inspector just to visit some college entrance exam sites.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiguo frowned and asked, “Have you verified the inspector’s identity?”

The identities of exam inspectors are arranged by the Provincial Department of Education. Chen Beiguo had not previously paid attention to such trivial matters, but now, it’s wise to be cautious.

“They’ve all been verified, and no issues were found.”

…..

The college entrance exam had already begun, and one by one, the candidates queued up to be checked by the examiners and chose the trial they wanted to take.

The college entrance exam trials are divided into three main categories, similar to professions: combat, support, and utility.

【Candidate Su Miao, Number B04-77, A-level support class Enchantment Array Master, selected assessment content—build a small defensive array within 10 minutes.】

A young girl, who appeared quite pretty, walked into a teleportation portal and entered the trial space.

In the grand hall above, many academy instructors took interest and looked toward Su Miao’s trial space.

An A-level Enchantment Array Master is relatively rare; as their level rises, they can construct hundreds of different arrays, with a wide range of applications.

This Su Miao has the potential to grow into a master-level Array Master!

【Candidate Zhou Bo, Number B74-47, C-level combat class, Blood Warrior, selected assessment content—three-type combat trial!】

【Candidate Li Xiang, Number F12-44, D-level combat class, Archer, selected assessment content—three-type combat trial!】

The students orderly entered the trial space. In the skies above the Temple of Divine Revelation, thousands of screens appeared, displaying the scenes from various spaces for the examiners to observe and evaluate.

Finally, it was Lin Feng’s turn.

【Candidate Lin Feng, Number B18-75, SS-level Non-Specialist, selected assessment content—seven-type combat trial!】

This announcement immediately drew countless attention. Naturally, Qin Xian and Chen Beiguo were among them, and even the instructors from various academies showed interest.

After all, the SS-level Non-Specialist is such a peculiar class that no one has ever seen before….

Moreover, Lin Feng’s choice of the seven-type combat trial is the most difficult among all combat trials. Not only must he hunt down all monsters within the given time, but he must also slay a level 5 boss!

According to the data, the selection rate for the seven-type combat trial in the national college entrance exam is only 0.9% and the pass rate is only 0.01%!

Lin Feng took a deep breath, eyes resolute, and stepped directly into the trial space! And the moment Lin Feng stepped into the trial space, Chen Beiguo immediately unleashed his spiritual pressure, beginning to sense any change in aura within the Temple of Divine Revelation!

Should there be any anomaly, he would act immediately! As long as Lin Feng completed the trial without a hitch, Chen Lingxi’s guarantee would be fulfilled…..

But suddenly, the Temple of Divine Revelation began to shake! No, it wasn’t just the Temple of Divine Revelation; it was the entire East Sea City!

Boom——!!!!!!

A deafening sound erupted from the distance, echoing like a death knell for the end of the world! Immediately following, a decaying aura of the Void also swept in.

“A Void Sacrifice Ritual!!!??” Chen Beiguo’s heart sank, and beside him, He Bin’s face turned pale as he immediately received the notification.

“Your Excellency, a serious incident has occurred. A Void Sacrifice Ritual has appeared in the new southern district of the city, with a dozen level 20 Void monsters appearing! The casualties are heavy!!”

At this moment, He Bin, a level 50 powerhouse, was as helpless as a schoolboy. One of the Security Council’s duties is to track down Void cultists and destroy all Void Sacrifice Rituals.

Previously, a Void Sacrifice Ritual appeared in a town near East Sea City, resulting in the town’s massacre, which was already a dereliction of duty on his part.

At that time, the Provincial Assembly had already impeached him. However, Chen Beiguo suppressed it.

But now, with another Void Sacrifice Ritual occurring in the East Sea City area, this Security Council chief was doomed!

Chen Beiguo was also shocked, his eyes nearly blazing with anger as he glared at Qin Xian!

Could it be that Qin Xian’s target wasn’t the Temple of Divine Revelation but the Security Council!?

If the Qin family seized the Security Council, then with the Provincial Assembly, the Provincial Inspectorate, and the Security Council, Yu Feng would have the leverage to contend with him!

At that point, who the East Sea Province would heed really would be uncertain!
