Chapter 43

Immediately after, the Skeleton Warrior grabbed Lin Moyu again and leaped into the air.

The dark figure within the blood moon seemed to realize its doom was imminent.

Surprisingly, it did not scream or roar; instead, it let out a cold, sinister laugh.

"Your name is Lin Moyu."

"This King will remember you."

"When you come to the Abyss, this King will host you properly."

Lin Moyu gave a faint smile and said nothing.

The corpse flew toward the blood moon.

Corpse Explosion!

Amidst the violent explosion, the dark figure let out a final scream before being annihilated.

The blood moon shattered like glass and dissipated into the air.

The Battle Space returned to normal as well.

Outside the Trial Tower.

Meng Anwen once again showed a look of surprise, "The Abyssal Will has been eliminated."

"The Battle Space has returned to normal."

"The children are safe and sound, with no casualties."

Bai Yiyuan also wore an expression of disbelief; the development of events was completely different from what he had anticipated.

At his level, there were very few things that could still surprise him.

"Can we perform a playback?"

Bai Yiyuan wanted to know exactly what had happened inside the Battle Space.

Meng Anwen said, "We can."

Bai Yiyuan said in a deep voice, "En, there's no rush for that. Send the children back first, just in case."

"Alright."

Inside the Battle Space, the blood moon dissipated, and the land was returning to normal.

Xia Xue asked in a low voice, "Lin the Blockhead, is it over?"

At this moment, she still had lingering fears, her face slightly pale.

What happened earlier was too terrifying; if not for Lin Moyu, she estimated she would already be dead.

Lin Moyu nodded, "It's over."

Although there were no comforting words, this answer was enough to put Xia Xue at ease.

Inside the Battle Space, the other examinees were also still shaken.

Just now, when the Philin Orcs were hunting them down, they had fled in panic, completely lacking the ability to resist.

Fortunately, there was Lin Moyu.

God Bai's voice rang out again.

"Examinees, the Abyssal power has vanished, and the Battle Space has returned to normal."

"You will be sent back to your original examination halls. The exam results will be announced shortly."

Chapter 56: No Suspense, the Provincial Top Scorer

Lin Moyu appeared at the entrance of the Trial Tower.

Xia Xue, Zuo Mei, Young Guild Master Wang Zihao, and Feng Xiu appeared as well.

The entrance to the Trial Tower had already closed.

"The Combat Class Grand Exam has concluded. All examinees, please rest in place and wait for the final point evaluation."

The examiner's voice resounded throughout the field.

No one left; the final results were always announced shortly after the Grand Exam ended, as was the case every year.

The examinees waited with bated breath.

For Combat Class Professionals, the score consisted of two parts.

First was the points.

Second was the evaluation.

Some top-tier higher academies not only had requirements for class, level, and points but also for the evaluation.

The higher the academy's ranking, the higher the requirements.

For example, Xiajing Academy's requirements for Combat Classes were basically Level 15 or above and over ten thousand points.

The evaluation had to be at least 'Excellent'.

For the remaining top 20 academies, the level and point requirements were relatively more relaxed, but the evaluation still had to be 'Excellent'.

If one wanted to get into a top academy, the evaluation was extremely important.

If the goal was just an ordinary higher academy, then the evaluation wasn't as critical.

Meeting the point threshold would be enough.

For examinees who did not enter the Battle Space, their evaluations were given by the provincial examiners.

For those who did enter the Battle Space, the evaluations were given by the high-level officials of the Shenxia Empire.

To the Shenxia Empire, examinees capable of entering the Battle Space were all geniuses who required further attention.

In Xiajing City.

Meng Anwen, Bai Yiyuan, and several other top powerhouses of the Shenxia Empire were playing back the events in the Battle Space.

The various performances of Lin Moyu and the other examinees from the moment they entered the Battle Space were all seen by them.

This year was somewhat special.

Due to the invasion of Abyssal power, a massive upheaval had occurred within the Battle Space.

They paid even closer attention to this.

During the playback, Lin Moyu entered their sight.

"So it was him who turned the tide. Remarkable."

"Necromancer—I've heard someone mention this class before. It's the brand new class that appeared in West Sea No. 1 Middle School in Xihai City, Jiangning Province."

"That's right. I originally intended to pay special attention to him in this Grand Exam, but I didn't expect him to be this strong."

"Not only is his class powerful, but he must have also awakened a talent, and a very powerful one at that."

"His class has completely surpassed his peers. This child's temperament is excellent."

"Calm, decisive in killing, and a strong enough class—this child already possesses the conditions to become a top powerhouse."

One sentence of praise after another flew from their mouths, all landing on Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu's performance was too eye-catching.

While they were worrying about casualties, Lin Moyu had turned the tide single-handedly.

He alone had completely destroyed the Abyss's plan.

Compared to Lin Moyu, everyone else paled in comparison.

There were even no highlights to be found among them.

Only a dozen or so people could even be called 'commendably courageous'.

"This year's evaluations are a bit difficult to give."

"What's so difficult? Those who ran away are all cowards. People like that will only be deserters on the battlefield in the future; they can't be relied upon."

"You can't put it like that; after all, they are just teenagers."

"Lin Moyu is definitely 'Excellent'. Let's discuss the others together."

Several top powerhouses were deciding the futures of the examinees.

In the past, these examinees would have all been considered heaven's favorites.

The top scorers of each province were all rare geniuses.

But this year, because of Lin Moyu's existence, the performance of these people was somewhat unsightly.

Comparisons are odious.

When compared to the best, the rest are trash.

Lin Moyu was like a dazzling star, completely overshadowing the existence of everyone else.

Amidst the eager anticipation, the final results were finally announced.

A massive light screen flickered in the sky.

1. Lin Moyu, Points: 34,605, Evaluation: Excellent.

Lin Moyu's name was impressively ranked first.

Whoosh!

The entire field broke into an uproar.

Principal Lu Yun jumped up, his old face so excited he looked like he was about to have a stroke.

"First! The top scorer! The top scorer!"

Principal Lu Yun's fingers trembled, incredibly excited.

His student had taken the title of the Provincial Top Scorer of Jiangning Province.

To Principal Lu Yun, this was an immense honor.

"Old Lu, congratulations, congratulations!"

"Old Lu really hit the jackpot this time. One Provincial Top Scorer is enough to brag about for ten years."

"More like twenty years!"

"Previously there was Su Qianxing, last year there was Lin Mohan, and this year a Provincial Top Scorer actually emerged."

"West Sea No. 1 Middle School is going to be completely famous now."

Xia Xue smiled as she congratulated Lin Moyu, "Lin the Blockhead, you really did get the Provincial Top Scorer title."

At this moment, for once, there was no indignation in Xia Xue's eyes, and for once, she didn't try to compete with Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "Thank you."

When the fifth round of testing began, Lin Moyu already knew the Provincial Top Scorer title was his.

The result was indeed as expected.

When the results were announced, he still felt a small surge of excitement in his heart.

…0 …

Xia Xue looked at Lin Moyu in surprise, "You actually know how to smile?"

"You look quite good when you smile. Why do you never smile normally?"

She looked as if she had discovered a new continent.

The second-place result also came out.

2. Xia Xue, Points: 7,600, Evaluation: Excellent.

With Lin Moyu's score ahead of her, Xia Xue's result didn't cause too much of a stir.

Xia Xue was also evaluated as 'Excellent'.

Principal Lu Yun was excited once again.
