At this moment, in the exam hall, there were fifty students being tested simultaneously with Logan.
With an average stage of Apprentice 2-star, even the residual waves of the Mental Perception Analyzer could cause life-threatening injuries to them.
Owen was worried about Logan's safety on one hand, and the other students' well-being on the other.
As he rushed into the control room, intending to shut the machine down, he heard a sudden explosion.
The entire control panel was shattered, and the examiner in charge of the machine was killed on the spot.
Even the chief examiner, Peter, was lying on the ground, covered in blood.
"Peter! This is a crime!"Owen glared at Peter beside the control panel, then turned and ran out, carrying two unconscious students out of the room.
The commotion in the exam hall quickly spread to the outside.
As more and more staff and candidates were carried out, unconscious and bleeding, the waiting students were in shock.
The once orderly line of examinees broke into chaos.
Ambulances and fire trucks gradually arrived at the center of the test square.
On the square's perimeter, the Holy Maiden Evelynna was about to get into her carriage with the angel Diana, but the sound of the emergency alarms caught her attention.
"You did this?"Evelynna turned to Diana, already guessing the cause of the incident.
"I was just worried that Logan might cause trouble, so I asked the examiner to be a bit stricter with him,"Diana replied casually, not taking the crisis seriously.
Evelynna nodded slowly, not scolding her. "Hmph, what trouble could he possibly cause? You know, if the Mental Perception Analyzer could be set to Apprentice 5-star, our score would be far higher than 1000."
She then took Diana's hand, smiling, "Although your actions were a bit unnecessary, you're not wrong. After all, what's wrong with a beautiful angel protecting her master?"
As she said that, Evelynna lifted Diana's hand and gently pressed it against her cheek, rubbing it slowly with a look of satisfaction.
...
On the other side of the square, as the chaos in the exam hall was about to spiral out of control, a light rain began to fall from the sky.
A powerful wave of holy energy mixed with gentle Mental Power descended upon the examinees, instantly calming their panic.
Then, Nancy Priest descended from the sky on a golden Griffin, landing in the square.
Some people in the crowd recognized her and shouted, "God bless the people!"with devout expressions.
At the same time, the principal of Logan's school, Mark, rode a Two-Headed Chimera and flew to Nancy Priest's side.
This incident had specifically targeted Logan, and the ones affected were all students from Morning Light High School.
In a single blow, dozens of promising college entrance exam candidates were injured.
Mark was ready to kill the chief examiner Peter on the spot: "Damn it! This is a crime!"
"Stop scolding for now, let's go check the situation inside first,"Nancy Priest glanced at Mark and rushed into the exam hall.
Mark followed closely behind.
When they saw that the Mental Power test machine where Logan was still running, their hearts dropped instantly.
Especially around the Mental Perception Analyzer, dozens of familiar corpses lay scattered in all directions, a gruesome sight that stunned everyone.
"Damn it! Testing a high schooler with elite-level Mental Power-this is murder!"Mark roared, rushing toward the Mental Power test machine, determined to destroy it.
But before he could reach it, Nancy Priest suddenly stepped in and blocked his path. "No!"
Mark's attack was interrupted, and his face twisted with anger. "Nancy Priest, are you also going to become an accomplice now? That's my student in there!"
With a wave of his hand, Mark pushed Nancy Priest aside and tried to destroy the analyzer again.
Nancy Priest's face darkened. "Mark, calm down! No high schooler can withstand a elite-level Mental Power attack. Even if it's your student, he's already dead!"
She continued, her voice sharp and cold. "And I'm warning you-half the students haven't even been tested yet. If you destroy this machine now, who will be responsible for the damage? Your school's scholarships were funded by the Temple!"
Nancy's words struck like thunder in Mark's ears.
After a long internal struggle, Mark finally sighed, giving up his attempt to save Logan. "Nancy Priest, let's look for other injured students."
---
Not long ago.
Inside the Mental Perception Analyzer.
Logan stood at the center, his body wrapped in a thick wave of Mental Power energy, muttering under his breath. "Damn it, this level of Mental Power is supposed to be Apprentice-level testing?"
Lilith hovered in midair, guarding Logan's front, taking half the pressure for him. "Master, don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you."
She flapped her wings and moved to the edge of the test area.
Through the cracks in the machine, her eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
"Life Drain!"
Soon, the Crimson Lion-still unconscious outside the machine-began to tremble.
From the sky, a stream of life energy flowed through an invisible mental link, pouring into Lilith's forehead.
Her cheeks flushed red as she leaned in close to Logan, feeding him the energy in small, careful doses, stabilizing his brain function.
Every time Logan was about to break, his mind on the verge of collapse, Lilith would give him a burst of life energy to keep him going.
When the Crimson Lion's life was drained, she moved on to other familiars.
There were plenty of unconscious students and familiars in the hall.
This cycle repeated, and Logan felt pain mixed with a strange joy. His Mental Power was slowly increasing.
After Lilith had drained the life of the twentieth familiar, the Mental Power surrounding Logan gradually faded.
The screen inside the Mental Perception Analyzer lit up, displaying the following information in front of Logan:
[Candidate Code: MG10086]
[Stage: elite 1-star]
[Mental Power Index: 1000]
[Potential Total Score: 2000]
2000 points?
The maximum score was supposed to be 1000!
Wait a second…
elite 1-star?
When had he even upgraded?
Logan, filled with unexpected joy, rechecked Lilith's stats.
[Familiar: Lilith]
[Race: Succubus (Infernal Saint Hybrid)]
[Stat: Darkness]
[Rank: B-level 5-star]
[Stage: elite 1-star]
[Talent: Natural Charisma, Expert in Passion]
[Skill: Weaken Will, Life Drain, Enslave Mind (0/3 controlled)]
[Stat: Power 25, Stamina 24, Mind 80, Agility 50]
[Training Recommendation: Whip 100 times per day, for 7 consecutive days… Probability of unlocking the skill "Mind Whip"increases with the number of days, Current Probability: 15.5%]
"Logan was super happy when he saw that Lilith not only got better stats after upgrading, but also got an extra spot to enslave another target."
"Lilith, you're really my lucky charm!"
Feeling Logan's real affection, Lilith blushed slightly.
"It makes me happy to help my Master, Lilith."
Lilith was already completely exhausted, and her whole body was leaning on Logan's shoulder.
When Logan finally opened the door slowly, he was shocked by what he saw.
Looking at all the dead familiar bodies in front of the door, Logan finally understood.
The cost behind his and Lilith's upgrades, if turned into money, probably added up to millions.
"That's why Owen told me to go work for the military. Normal groups just can't afford to train a strong familiar tamer."
After saying that, Logan took Lilith and quietly left the exam room.
At the same time, the atmosphere on the square was strangely weird.
Evelynna and Diana had already planned to leave this trouble spot.
But just as they started their car, the ranking on the score board changed again.
"My god, who is this 10086 candidate? How did he get 2000 points?"
"I don't believe it! Why did I only get 400 points? Are people really that different?"
"Could it be a machine error? You all saw it-Mental Perception Analyzer had a big breakdown and killed a lot of people."
As the discussion got louder, Evelynna and Diana both got out of the car and looked at the score board.
Others might not know what 2000 points meant, but the two of them knew very well.
Only Logan had a chance to get that score today in the talent test.
"He didn't die! How did he even do it?"Diana stared at the score board and clenched her fists, looking confused.
