Chapter 33

The purpose of the exam is not to eliminate candidates, but to select outstanding geniuses from among them.

The Skeleton Warrior's blade had already landed on the Wolfman.

Skin tore and flesh split.

With just one strike, the Wolfman was already on the verge of death.

Just as the Wolfman was about to counterattack, a second strike fell.

The Wolfman died a miserable death.

"Two strikes."

Lin Moyu watched, and with a flick of his finger, he summoned another Skeleton Warrior.

The two Skeleton Warriors stood guard on the left and right in front of the light orb, waiting for the monsters to appear.

Five seconds later, the second Wolfman appeared.

Then, the two Skeleton Warriors raised their blades and struck; the Wolfman died instantly.

"It's a bit too simple."

After a few rounds, he understood that every time a monster was killed, a second one would appear after 5 seconds.

This round of the exam was meant to test the sustained combat capability of each Professional.

The examiners were dumbfounded.

"How is Lin Moyu's summoned creature so strong?"

"It's stronger than any summoned creature from any Summoner we've ever seen."

"And there are two of them."

"This profession… is amazing."

The skills themselves are strong enough, and the summoned creatures are also this powerful.

This profession is going to take off.

Lin Moyu's side was too boring; the two Skeleton Warriors guarded the light orb, and the monsters died as soon as they appeared, not lasting even 0.5 seconds.

The examiners didn't want to watch anymore and turned to look at the other Professionals.

Xia Xue held her staff and cast her skills.

She had chosen the normal difficulty, so the monsters weren't strong.

Basically, it took two skills to kill one.

She constantly adjusted the intensity of her skills, trying her best to reduce her mental energy consumption.

Although it was a bit monotonous, it was much better than Lin Moyu's side.

Chapter 44: That's going too far; while others are risking their lives, you're eating sweet potatoes.

Xia Xue's performance was unanimously approved by all the examiners.

Young Guild Master Wang Zihao swung his two-handed broadsword, decapitating the Wolfman in front of him.

A bloodthirsty look was on his face, and his mouth curled with arrogance.

Berserker, the name fits the person.

When fighting, his reason faded, and he became extremely wild.

This was without even activating his Berserk state; once he activated it, he might completely lose his reason.

"He's going all out from the start; I'm afraid his efficiency will drop significantly later on."

"He doesn't know how to allocate his physical strength; this point needs improvement."

"Compared to Xia Xue, he's a bit worse."

What the examiners valued more was not how many you killed, but your adaptability in battle.

First, it's about how well you can last the full 30 minutes.

Second, it's about the difference in combat power between the beginning and the end of the battle.

Real battles often last for a while; if you go all out from the start, there might not be a 'later'.

Comparing Young Guild Master Wang Zihao with Xia Xue, the examiners already had an answer in their minds.

Xia Xue was clearly superior.

Like Young Guild Master Wang Zihao, Zuo Mei also chose the hell difficulty.

Compared to Young Guild Master Wang Zihao's open and aggressive fighting style, Zuo Mei pushed the agility of the Assassin profession to the limit.

Her figure was agile, constantly moving back and forth, left and right, like a ghost, playing the Wolfman in the palm of her hand.

Moreover, every movement was very crisp, without any unnecessary waste, not wasting any physical strength.

The dagger in her hand was fast, ruthless, and accurate, and every strike could cause considerable damage to the monster.

And she would use skills at the right time to control the Wolfman warrior, and even interrupt its skills.

She displayed the skills she currently mastered to a very high level.

Zuo Mei's performance was also recognized by the examiners.

After watching a round, the examiners already had an understanding of the situation of each candidate.

They also had their own evaluation standards in their minds.

Returning to Lin Moyu's side…

The examiners were speechless.

"This kid… is going a bit too far."

"I also think so, it's indeed a bit too much."

"This guy actually kept food in his pocket; what was he thinking?"

"Are sweet potatoes that delicious? Watching him eat, I'm getting a bit hungry myself."

Lin Moyu was eating the sweet potato slowly, one bite at a time.

He had taken the sweet potato out and put it in his pocket before entering the exam room.

You can't use storage spaces during the exam, so what if you get hungry?

Now that his Skeleton Warrior was killing monsters in seconds, he had nothing to do, so naturally, he started eating the sweet potato.

"Eating during the big exam, he's the first one in history."

"Write this down, let him go down in history for this."

"I think this exam is too easy for him; should we increase the difficulty?"

The examiner was so angry that his teeth itched; others were exhausted from the exam, but Lin Moyu was so relaxed.

Yet his grades were far ahead.

"No need, no matter what, the exam must be fair."

Ning Xuanfeng hadn't spoken since the exam started.

However, it could be seen from his eyes that he was full of interest in Lin Moyu.

"This little guy is interesting."

During the 30 minutes, people kept giving up, and some were injured and withdrew.

Continuous combat was a severe test for every Professional.

This is not like a Dungeon, where you can rest for a while if you're tired.

Only Lin Moyu, even taking a nap wouldn't be a problem.

As time dragged on,

Finally, 30 minutes passed, and all the monsters disappeared collectively.

"It's finally over."

"If it didn't end, I wouldn't be able to hold on."

"It's so terrifying; I'm not even this tired when I go into a Dungeon."

Most people collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.

In just 30 minutes, their physical strength was almost exhausted.

Xia Xue's face was also slightly pale at this moment.

During the 30 minutes, she did her best to regulate her skills, saving where she could.

Her mental energy was also almost exhausted.

During the big exam, storage spaces are locked, and you cannot use extra medicine to restore mental energy.

It's indeed very difficult.

"It's finally over."

"I killed over 200, right? That's over 200 points."

Young Guild Master Wang Zihao was completely collapsed on the ground at this moment.

By the time he killed towards the end, his efficiency was far from what it was at the beginning.

Massive physical exhaustion and skills entering cooldown all caused his combat power to drop sharply.

"I killed over 50, right? This hell difficulty is really not easy."

Among everyone, only Lin Moyu was in the best condition.

He spent the 30 minutes as if he were watching a show.

"This round of the exam is over."

"A total of 522 candidates participated in this round of the exam, of which 278 candidates lost the qualification to continue the exam due to injury or voluntary withdrawal."

"The remaining 244 candidates are eligible to enter the next round of the exam; of course, you can also choose to give up."

"The next round of the exam will have higher difficulty and greater intensity, and there may be life-threatening dangers; please choose carefully."

Everyone received the prompt at the same time, giving them the option to give up right here or continue with the exam.

Continue, the next exam will be harder, and there may even be life-threatening dangers.

If they give up now, they will feel unwilling.

Suddenly, many people were caught in a dilemma.

The examiners all showed wicked smiles.

"How many people will choose to give up this time?"

"According to previous years, at least one-third of the people will choose to give up."

"This year's pass rate is about the same as last year's; so far, about 60% have been eliminated."

A total of 632 combat-class Professionals participated in the exam, and now 244 remain.

"It seems they are having a hard time choosing; let's give them a push and help them make a decision."

At this moment, the majestic voice sounded again.

"Even if you give up the exam now, your scores are enough to enter higher education institutions."

"Now you have 60 seconds to consider; if you don't make a choice after 60 seconds, it will default to continuing."

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely destroying the psychological defenses of many people.

"I choose to give up."

"I withdraw."

"I can't continue anymore; if I continue, I'll die."

Many students chose to give up.
