“Yes, that’s right. Ivan is an SSS-level talent professional. He’s the kind of player who can enter the Alliance Academy.
“Switch to his channel. Let’s watch the world’s number one.”
“SAT Top Candidate: Ivan Caldwell
“Talent -Undying Vessel (SSS Rank)
“Effect 1: When your HP drops to zero, it is locked at 1. Your max HP turns into vitality, and you become immortal for 1 hour. After the hour ends, your HP quickly recovers to full.
“Effect 2: Defeat enemies to absorb their souls and increase your vitality.
“Effect 3: Fake Death. As long as your body stays intact, you will revive after 24 hours.
With three powerful effects, this SSS talent made Ivan the strongest shield fighter.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Ivan’s live stream.
Even Zoey was rebroadcasting his SAT run.
Ivan’s team was strong too. Every member had SS-level talent. They had a warrior, an archer, a rogue, and a special class-Shaman.
Zoey read the data from the control room and spoke fast.
“This is not a good situation.
“Ivan’s team has a very strong front line. That’s why they dropped the normal healer and chose a shaman instead.
“A shaman can dance, sing, and perform rituals. These create auras and buffs that make the team stronger.
“They also have healing totems, but those are not very strong.
“Their biggest weakness is simple. They don’t have a mage for wide-area attacks.
“Good news is, they brought potions. Those can hurt ghost enemies.
“They’re fighting the boss now.
“Only eight minutes left. Do they have enough time?

“Oh no. They went for the Red Armor General first. That’s a bad call!”
Inside the SAT dungeon, Ivan stood firm in front of the boss.
He raised his huge shield and held the line. His teammates attacked from behind.
The shield blocked most strikes. But the ghost attacks passed through his body.
Ivan frowned.
“What’s going on? Are the monsters stronger this year? Even I can feel the pain. How are other tanks surviving?
“Everyone, speed up! Salem, drop more healing totems.”
“Got it!” Salem Holloway nodded. She was the team’s shaman. Her healing totems were made from special materials. They cost a lot of money.
This class was just as expensive as a Summoner.
Smart bosses often destroyed totems to stop the healing, but her power was still much higher than a normal healer.
She could fight. She could heal. She could boost the team.
A perfect class.
With Salem’s totems covering the ground, the team defeated the boss in just four minutes.
“Move! Try to finish within one hour!” Ivan shouted.
But their plan went wrong. The next fight was much harder.
Two generals appeared. One wore red armor and breathed fire. The other wore blue armor and breathed ice. They attacked each other too. Half their damage went to each other. Only the other half could be dealt by players.
The Blue Armor General was the worst. His frost froze the whole field. The team’s attacks slowed. Time slipped away.
Final Clear Time: 1 hour, 2 minutes, 21 seconds.
The SAT system began to count the score.
“Ivan Caldwell: Dungeon Clear +60 points, Earlier Time Bonus: +160 points

“It’s fine,” Ivan said. “That boss was hard. Everyone else must be stuck at the last stage. We should still be number one.”
He exited the dungeon. Then he was dumbfounded.
