Chapter 38

At this moment, he was also very curious about what was happening in the Battle Space.

Unfortunately, his clearance was insufficient, and he had no authority to view it.

He could only analyze and judge through the changes in points.

In the Battle Space, the corpses only existed for 10 seconds before vanishing without a trace.

Lin Moyu waited quietly for the second batch of monsters to appear.

"This time, it shouldn't be like the fourth round of testing, where I had to wait for a minute, right?"

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, a sense of crisis welled up.

The sky turned bright red, and dozens of fireballs, each a meter in diameter, crashed down like meteors.

Chapter 50: The Second Stage, Increased Difficulty

Lin Moyu was shocked, and the Skeleton Warriors formed a shield-like defensive line like a stack of arhats, firmly protecting Lin Moyu.

The meteor-like fireballs crashed onto the Skeleton Warriors, exploding into a sky full of sparks, which was extremely spectacular.

Lin Moyu was very clear about his own weaknesses.

His constitution was too poor; if he sustained a powerful attack, a massive amount of damage would be transferred to the Skeleton Warriors via Damage Transfer.

This would cause the Skeleton Warriors to take massive damage.

If the Skeleton Warriors took the hits for him, the result would be completely different.

With the Skeleton Warriors' powerful constitution and super-high defense.

They could almost ignore this bit of damage.

Lin Moyu stood behind the Skeleton Warriors, his eyes catching the Orc team appearing in front.

A group of Feline Orc Mages were waving their magic wands, launching Fire Rain attacks.

A large number of Feline Orc Warriors were brandishing their weapons and initiating a Charge.

These monsters appeared silently, without any warning.

The corners of Lin Moyu's mouth curved upward.

Who cares how they appeared? It's fine as long as he didn't have to wait for them to refresh.

The Mage monsters in the back kept casting skills, and the rain of fire never stopped.

To ensure his own safety, Lin Moyu had 10 Skeleton Warriors form a shield to block the Mage attacks.

At the same time, he sent out another 10 Skeleton Warriors to engage the Orc Warriors.

"Skill!"

He issued the command in his mind, and red light instantly lit up in the hands of the Skeleton Warriors.

Berserk Strike!

With the Skeleton Warriors' strength attribute as high as 5000, and using the skill, their attack power doubled.

The Feline Orc Warriors were killed instantly one after another.

Lin Moyu's palm glowed.

A loud rumbling sound erupted.

Corpse Explosion spread wildly.

The Feline Orc Warriors fell like cut wheat.

In just a few seconds, the hundreds of Feline Orc Warriors who had charged over were all dead.

The 10 Skeleton Warriors pounced on the Feline Orc Mages like lightning.

The 5000 points of agility brought amazing speed.

Due to the huge attribute gap, the Skeleton Warriors appeared as afterimages in Lin Moyu's eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the Skeleton Warriors had crossed dozens of meters and appeared in front of the Feline Orc Mages.

With a swing of their blades, they killed them one by one.

The Feline Orc Mages' constitution was inferior to the warriors, so they were easily killed one by one by the Skeleton Warriors.

The Fire Rain vanished, and everything returned to calm.

It was peaceful for Lin Moyu, but the examiners in the Trial Tower control room still had their eyes wide open.

After Lin Moyu's points stalled for just over ten seconds, they soared again like a rocket.

14,605 points; in less than ten seconds, his points had increased by 6,000 all at once.

This meant another 120 monsters had been killed by Lin Moyu.

The two instances already proved the point.

"This guy has area-of-effect skills."

"This profession is going to defy the heavens; his single-target skills were already freakish enough, and his area-of-effect skills are just as freakish."

"It's not just the skills that are powerful; the summons are equally powerful."

"I feel this profession has already surpassed the Legendary grade and can rival those few professions."

"We can't say that just yet; after all, his level is still low, and we have to see what happens later."

Being strong at a low level doesn't mean he will be equally strong at a high level.

Being ineffective at a low level doesn't mean he will be ineffective at a high level either.

There are even some professions that are always mediocre until they acquire a certain god-tier skill, at which point they become irreplaceable.

There is a type of profession that is usually useless.

But once a war breaks out, it becomes a god-like existence.

All of his skills are legion-type group skills.

If such a Professional exists in a legion, the combat power of the entire legion can double.

Lin Moyu did not know what the examiners were thinking.

At this moment, he heard a roar.

The entire ground shook several times, as if there were an earthquake.

The corpses vanished amidst the tremors, as if swallowed by the earth.

Invisible gases emerged from the earth, the air became bloodier, and even carried a stench of corpses.

It made one want to vomit upon smelling it.

The sky became even gloomier and darker.

The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

"It's the second stage."

Lin Moyu looked at the sky.

He seemed very accustomed to this aura and had no aversion to it.

Perhaps it was related to his profession.

The aura of death did not make him feel uncomfortable.

The only thing he didn't like was the increasingly heavy stench.

The shaking of the earth gradually ceased, and Lin Moyu had the Skeleton Warriors surround him, keeping a vigilant watch on the surroundings.

A few seconds later, footsteps sounded.

"They're here!"

Lin Moyu said to himself in his heart.

A large number of monsters appeared abruptly all around.

The monsters appeared from all directions, forming small squads with five monsters per group.

[Feline Orc Fighter]

[Level: 16.]

[Feline Orc Archer]

[Level: 16]

Each squad had a 3:2 ratio, with 3 Fighters and 2 Archers.

The Fighters and Archers were all level 16.

There were at least 40 squads scattered around.

Looking from afar, it was as if Lin Moyu was surrounded by them.

After entering the second stage, not only did the monster level increase by one, but the quantity also doubled.

Lin Moyu was not worried about this.

For him, they were just level 16 monsters.

Even without using Corpse Explosion, just the 20 Skeleton Warriors could hack all these guys to death given some time.

He was currently pondering another question.

"Judging by this difficulty, it is very difficult for other professions to pass the second stage."

"Even if they could pass, it would require a massive amount of time."

In Lin Moyu's eyes, the difficulty of the first stage was not high.

As long as they put in some effort, most Professionals could pass it.

The second stage was much harder; just increasing by 1 level and doubling the monsters—these two changes were enough to increase the difficulty several times over.

Coupled with the appearance of Archers, and Archers are known as the natural enemies of Mages.

This change would make most Mage-type Professionals shrink back.

Chapter 51: Pitch-Black Evil Light, Demon Skull

Lin Moyu's thoughts were correct.

In the history of the Shenxia Empire's grand examination, the number of examinees who could pass the second stage was very few.

The fifth round of the Battle Space examination was also the final round of the examination.

The Battle Space had five stages in total.

The current highest record was passing the third stage.

This record was set over a hundred years ago.

Since then, no one had broken this record.

The examiners of Jiangning Province were also speculating one after another whether Lin Moyu could break the record.

"I think there's a chance."

"Although I don't know what this guy's skills are exactly, I can tell from his previous results that his skills are very freakish."

The examiner no longer wanted to use the word "powerful" to describe it, but directly called it "freakish."

"I suspect he has awakened a talent."

"No matter how strong a profession is, there is a limit; it's impossible to be this strong."

"If he really awakened a talent, that is a huge blessing."

"Exactly, if he could awaken a talent right after changing professions, maybe he could awaken a new talent at the second advancement."

"You're overthinking it; talented Professionals are already very rare, and dual-talent individuals are even fewer."

"Who knows."
