45 - If Things Continue , Others Won't Stand A Chance
Among the 244 examinees who passed the second round, over 60 chose to withdraw.
Only 180 people decided to proceed with the examination.
Although the others chose to quit. However, by passing the second round of the examination, they have already proven their strength.
They can enter an ordinary academy without a problem.
As for the remaining people, their targets are top-ranked academies.
"The ranking following the second round is out."
No. 1, Lin Moyu, total points: 1,605.
No. 2, Zuo Mei, total points: 470.
No. 3, Xia Xue, total points: 270.
No. 4, Wang Zihao, total points: 265.
Wang Zihao jumped up and shouted, "This can't be."
"How did he get so many points?"
At a frequency of one monster per five seconds, that amounts to 12 monsters per minute at most.
In hell rank difficulty, each monster is worth 5 points, providing a maximum of 60 points per minute.
In the period of 30 minutes, you can earn 1,800 at most.
When factors such as time taken to kill the monsters are taken into account, you should be able to only earn around 200 to 400 points.
Zuo Mei, who was able to earn 400 points, killed 80 monsters. This is already considered excellent.
Lin Moyu, however, earned 1,505 points.
This shows that he killed 301 monsters.
A rate of 10 monsters per minute, it's just a short distance away from the limit of 12 monsters per minute.
At this moment, a thought welled up in everyone's minds: Is this guy a freak?
Wang Zihao even felt that Lin Moyu is cheating, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
If he were to voice these words, that would offend the senior figures of Shenxia Empire.
No one has ever dared to cheat in the great examination. After all, that's just asking for trouble.
The entire examination site is under complete surveillance, so cheating is impossible.
Outside the examination site, Lu Yun jumped up.
His wrinkled face has become even redder than before.
His hands trembled from excitement.
The cup in his hand shook, spilling water.
"Old Lu, your student is abnormal."
"Indeed, he's really abnormal."
Lu Yun couldn't help but curse back, "You guys are abnormal. Your entire families are abnormal."
He would really like to know how Lin Moyu did it.
As far as he knows, no one has ever been able to achieve such a score.
Back in the day, the astonishingly talented Su Qianxing only scored 700 points in the second round.
Last year, Lin Mohan only got 650 points.
As for Lin Moyu, his score is higher than the both of them combined.
Beams of light shot out from the Tower of Trials and fell on the examinees who chose to continue.
Illuminated by the light, their fatigue melted away, and their spirit force was restored.
In the blink of an eye, they were back at peak condition.
"Next, the third round of the examination will be conducted."
"This round also has three degrees of difficulty."
"You will be facing a leader rank monster."
"Ordinary rank difficulty will provide 100 points."
"Nightmare rank difficulty will provide 300 points."
"Hell rank difficulty will provide 500 points."
The rules are similar to last time.
The last round evaluated sustained combat ability.
This round evaluates the limits of combat ability.
You need to duel a leader rank monster.
Facing a leader rank monster without any support, it will be a significant challenge to any class user.
This time, Lin Moyu was the first one to make a choice.
"I choose hell rank difficulty."
When the examiners saw Lin Moyu's choice, they broke out into a discussion again.
"As expected, this kid really chose hell rank difficulty."
"With the power of his skill and summons, he will definitely take the first place this time, as well."
"It seems that he is going to become the top scorer of Jiangning Province this time."
"It's hard to say. After all, there are still two rounds to go. The fifth round, in particular..."
They have supervised the great examination many times and have seen a number of people turn the tides and make a comeback.
Although Lin Moyu's performance is currently pretty strong. But it is not a foregone conclusion that he will be able to become the provincial top scorer.
The gap between Wang Zihao and Lin Moyu has reached more than 1,300 points.
Wang Zihao came with the intention to take the position of the provisional top scorer, but he couldn't even make it into the top three.
"The first place is mine. There are two more rounds to go. I won't lose."
"After the great examination is over, I better don't run into you, or else I'll make you pay."
Wang Zihao spoke viciously. He also chose hell rank difficulty.
Xia Xue and Zuo Mei also chose hell rank difficulty.
They only need to deal with a single monster.
Xia Xue's Elemental Mage and Zuo Mei's Rogue, both classes possess very high explosive power. The two aren't worried.
After everyone made their choice, the examiners announced the start of the third round of the examination.
A huge monster appeared in front of everyone.
It is still a Worg Beastman, a monster with a wolf head.
The monster holds a sword in each hand, akin to a human Sword Champion.
[Worg Beastman Captain (leader)]
[Skill: Twisted Winds Slash]
After taking a look at the monster's attributes, Lin Moyu felt that it's a bit of a misnomer.
It's supposed to be hell rank difficulty, yet the monster is actually greatly weakened.
Maybe it's because this is a test, but this if far from matching the standard of a hell rank dungeon.
The monster is merely stronger than the elite monster guarding the entrance of Xihai Mine Dungeon's nightmare rank dungeon.
It is far from being a match for a genuine leader rank monster.
Lin Moyu can understand the empire's approach. If they were to really release a hell rank monster, not to mention a leader, even a mob wouldn't something that ordinary class users can deal with.
The aim of the great examination is to select living talents, not dead people.
After the battle started, Lin Moyu casually gave an order.
Two Skeletal Warriors quickly rushed out and unleashed their skill.
Without even making a sound, the Worg Beastman Captain collapsed on the ground and died.
Another instant kill.
The examiners were stupefied once more.
"Again! Another instant kill!"
"The summons can actually use a skill."
"And this skill is quite powerful."
"Time and time again, Lin Moyu has gone over the top."
"Others don't stand a chance."
