Chapter 176

Finally, after waiting for a full hour, the last person finally emerged.

The light screen froze instantly, no longer showing any changes.

Each category had a top-ranked individual.

Even though the text and the rankings were identical,

in the eyes of others, Lin Moyu always felt like the most dazzling one.

A deep, majestic voice rang out once again.

"The preliminary round of the solo tournament is over!"

"Now, announcing the preliminary round results."

"For the level 10 to 19 category, 32,512 participated, and 432 passed."

"For the level 20 to 29 category, 64,352 participated, and 752 passed."

"For the level 30 to 39 category, 43,454 participated, and 499 passed."

"The preliminary round has ended. The Professionals Tournament will officially begin tomorrow."

Countless people were stunned upon hearing these results.

With a pass rate of less than 2%, 99% of the participants were eliminated in one fell swoop.

Everyone was curious about what kind of trials the Shenxia Empire had set up.

To think it could prevent so many people from passing the preliminary round.

Lin Moyu didn't care about any of this.

The moment the end of the preliminary round was announced, he had already risen to head toward another preliminary competition venue.

By the time he arrived, the preliminary round at the high-level competition venue had also ended.

The light screen was still emitting a brilliant glow, and the list of those who passed the preliminary round was still shining on it.

Lin Moyu searched it carefully, but in the list of thousands, he couldn't find Lin Mohan's name.

"Perhaps my sister didn't participate in the solo tournament." He sighed softly, unable to hide the disappointment in his heart.

Suddenly, he froze.

His usually calm face showed unprecedented excitement.

His entire body was trembling slightly.

Not far away, a slender, graceful figure stood against the sunset, filling his entire world.

She smiled sweetly.

Her gentleness was laced with a heroic spirit.

Like a plum blossom in the cold wind, its fragrance carried on the breeze.

"Little Yu."

She smiled, her voice sounding like a clear spring bubbling.

Lin Moyu took a few quick steps to Lin Mohan's side and pulled her into a hug.

"Sister!"

All his longing and all his emotions were melted into that one call.

It wasn't just Lin Moyu who was excited; Lin Mohan felt the same.

Tears silently slid from the corners of her eyes, unable to hide her longing.

The setting sun shone across the sea, reflecting onto the two of them like a beautiful painting.

After a while, the two separated.

Lin Mohan gestured, "Little Yu, you've grown taller again. I remember, a year ago you weren't much taller than me."

Lin Mohan was tall, over 1.75 meters.

Compared to Lin Moyu's 1.85 meters, there was still a bit of a difference.

Facing his sister, Lin Moyu felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

There were also many more smiles on his face.

The two sat side by side in the sunset, talking.

Lin Moyu still didn't say much; it was mainly Lin Mohan doing the talking.

She talked about her experiences over the past year, sharing every little detail.

Lin Moyu realized that his sister seemed to have been watching over him all along.

She knew about him becoming the national top scholar and getting into Xiajing Academy.

But why hadn't she come to find him?

Lin Mohan's answer was that it wasn't very convenient.

She didn't go into details.

Lin Mohan smiled, "You still talk so little. How are you going to get a girlfriend like this?"

"There are many good girls at Xiajing Academy; you need to seize the opportunity."

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Sister, how did you know I would come here?"

Lin Mohan showed a sweet smile, "Because I'm your sister, of course I could guess it."

Lin Mohan had indeed guessed that Lin Moyu would come.

She had been waiting here for a long time.

Footsteps rang out.

Someone was walking over.

Four people walked over. They were all wearing Xiajing Academy uniforms, with special emblems embroidered on their cuffs and collars.

Lin Moyu recognized this emblem; it was the emblem of Chuangshen Academy.

"Junior Lin, who is this?"

The person in the lead asked, looking at Lin Moyu at the same time.

His gaze held an imposing aura; it wasn't intentional, just naturally exuded.

People from Chuangshen Academy were all top geniuses, so it was normal for them to have a unique aura.

Lin Mohan stood up, "This is my younger brother, Lin Moyu."

Lin Moyu nodded at him, "Hello."

"So it's Little Han's brother." The man's attitude toward Lin Moyu changed noticeably.

Lin Mohan said, "Seniors, you go back first. I want to talk to my brother a bit more."

"Alright, then you should head back early too. The competition starts tomorrow, and we still need to discuss tactics."

That person agreed readily.

Afterward, he took a few more looks at Lin Moyu. When he saw the military badge on Lin Moyu's shoulder, a flash of light passed through his eyes.

For a brief moment, he observed Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu was also observing him.

On his shoulder, there was also a military badge.

A silver second lieutenant badge, one star.

It was one star less than his own.

After he left, Lin Moyu asked, "Are they your teammates for this competition?"

Lin Mohan nodded, "Yes, these people are all top geniuses from Chuangshen Academy, and they are all very skilled."

Lin Moyu smiled, "I think you are the most skilled, Sister. You joined Chuangshen Academy just a few months after entering the academy, and now you are already level 40, right?"

Lin Mohan said softly, "I am not quite the same as them."

Indeed, Lin Moyu also felt they were different.

These people all looked like top geniuses and were very skilled.

But compared to Lin Mohan, they seemed to be lacking just a little bit.

This was Lin Moyu's feeling.

"Sister, what exactly is your profession? Why is your leveling so fast!"

Lin Moyu had always been curious about what Lin Mohan's profession was and why her leveling speed was so fast.

Before he had changed his class, Lin Mohan hadn't told him.

The two sat down again.

Looking at the sun gradually disappearing into the horizon, Lin Mohan said softly, "When I first awakened, my profession was Blade Dancer, a legendary-class profession."

"Now, I have luckily completed a profession ascension, and my profession has become Saint Sword Dancer."

Shock rose in Lin Moyu's heart.

He hadn't expected his sister to have completed a profession ascension.

This was no longer a matter of luck.

Profession ascension has always been about the result, not the process.

The process didn't matter at all; what mattered was the result.

Lin Mohan continued, "The reason I level up fast is because of my talent. My leveling speed is more than ten times that of other Professionals."

"And after the profession ascension, my talent was further enhanced, and my leveling speed became even faster."

Lin Moyu finally understood why his sister leveled up so fast.

He had suspected it before, but he couldn't be sure.

It really was the influence of her talent.

Talents were originally very difficult to awaken, and there were thousands of them, all kinds of talents.

Some talents were very strong, while some were garbage.

Professionals who could awaken a talent and obtain a good one were one-in-ten-thousand geniuses.

His sister's leveling speed being more than 10 times that of other Professionals—one had to say, this talent was very strong.

As long as she could keep leveling up, even if her profession was slightly weaker, she could use the advantage of her level to suppress her opponents.

In the late game, a difference of one level meant a huge difference in attributes.

Furthermore, would a legendary-class profession be weak?

Plus, after undergoing profession ascension, it had become an intermediate legendary-class profession.

It would definitely be stronger.

Lin Mohan said, "My teacher is very strict with me. I have been leveling up and haven't had time to come find you."

"It was actually my teacher who told me news about you."

"I didn't expect you, Little Yu, to become the national top scholar. You're really amazing!"

"There must be many little fan girls at the academy who like you; you just talk too little."

"Hurry up and find one, and have a chubby baby."

Lin Mohan was talking more and more outrageously.

His sister was just like this; sometimes she was very serious, but when she joked, she didn't hold back at all.

The two talked for a long time, until it was completely dark.

Lin Mohan slowly stood up, "Little Yu, I have to go back now."

"After the competition, according to my teacher's arrangements, I still have to go to other places for trials."
