Wang Zi Hao didn't even think before choosing Hell difficulty.
In his opinion, killing one monster on Hell difficulty was equivalent to killing five on Normal difficulty.
Moreover, he had immense confidence in his own combat strength.
"The first place kid, even if you win the first round, don't think you can beat me in the second round."
Wang Zi Hao held a giant battle axe in his hand, his class weapon.
"Hey, someone chose Hell difficulty."
【Wang Zi Hao, Level 16, Berserker】
"Not bad, Berserker is considered a strong class among the rare ones."
"Berserkers have decent sustained combat capability, they should achieve good results in this round."
Xia Xue thought for a moment and chose Normal difficulty.
Elementalist mages weren't good at close combat, nor were they adept at soloing high-strength monsters without a tank.
Therefore, she chose Normal difficulty, aiming to win through quantity.
As the third place in the first round, Xia Xue also attracted attention from the examiners.
They had access to Xia Xue's live feed.
When she chose Normal difficulty, they all showed knowing smiles.
【Xia Xue, Level 15, Elementalist】
"A very clever choice."
"Although Elementalists have good burst damage, if they can't kill the monster before it gets close, it will be very troublesome."
"Especially at low levels, with incomplete skills, it's even more so."
The second place in the first round, Zuo Mei, chose Hell difficulty.
【Zuo Mei, Level 16, Rogue】
The examiners were also paying attention to Zuo Mei's choice.
They gave their evaluation after she made her decision.
"As an assassin-type rare class, Rogues possess exceptional close combat abilities."
"So whether she chooses Nightmare or Hell, it's a good choice."
"Indeed, she's a promising prospect."
"I wonder what difficulty Lin Mo Yu, the Necromancer, will choose."
All the players worth watching had made their choices, only Lin Mo Yu remained.
After listening to the exam rules, Lin Mo Yu made his own judgment.
"This round of the exam should truly test everyone's sustained combat ability."
"A 30-minute battle puts considerable pressure on any class."
"Except for me, though."
A smile curved his lips.
Lin Mo Yu made his choice.
"I choose Hell difficulty."
For him, the higher the difficulty, the better.
All his skills, regardless of which one, had top-tier power.
Therefore, the higher the difficulty, the higher the points per unit, the more beneficial it was for him.
An examiner laughed, "He chose Hell difficulty as expected."
"He's both a mage and a summoner, with summons to guard against monsters getting close."
"And his skills are very powerful, combined with his summons, he can definitely achieve good results on Hell difficulty."
"Actually, most summoners who took the exam before also chose Hell difficulty."
"Let's wait and see."
Outside the exam hall, in the entire Jiangning Province, the principals of major schools gathered together.
"Old Lu, you're going to be rich this time."
"Tsk tsk, 0.1 seconds, such a record hasn't been seen in years."
"You have two out of the top three, Old Lu. You can't avoid getting rich."
"Your No. 1 High School will be the center of attention this time."
"If Lin Mo Yu can get the top spot in the province, you're going to be over the moon, Old Lu."
Lu Yun's face was flushed, he was very excited.
He didn't expect Lin Mo Yu to achieve such good results.
He was too excited, so much so that he couldn't speak for a moment, his whole body was trembling.
All the candidates had made their choices, and with the countdown ending, the second round of the exam began.
A sphere of light appeared in front of Lin Mo Yu.
The sphere rotated in the air, looking like the entrance to a dungeon.
Then, a monster clad in armor emerged from the sphere, roaring in anger.
Lin Mo Yu's mind moved, and the Skeleton Warrior beside him charged forward.
He slashed at the monster with a fierce blow.
At the same time, Lin Mo Yu's Detect skill landed on the monster.
【Wulf Beastman Warrior (Elite)】
【Level: 13】
【Strength: 500】
【Agility: 300】
【Spirit: 150】
【Constitution: 400】
These stats...
Very weak.
Much weaker than the Nightmare-level monsters in the West Sea Mine dungeon.
Lin Mo Yu immediately understood.
After all, this was an exam, designed to accommodate the majority.
If the monsters were too strong, the result would be large-scale elimination.
That would defeat the purpose of the exam.
The purpose of the exam wasn't to eliminate candidates, but to select outstanding geniuses from among them.
The Skeleton Warrior's blade landed on the Wulf Beastman.
Skin peeled and flesh tore.
In just one blow, the Wulf Beastman was on the verge of death.
The Wulf Beastman just about to retaliate when the second blow landed.
The Wulf Beastman died miserably.
"Two blows."
Lin Mo Yu witnessed it, his finger tapped, and he summoned another Skeleton Warrior.
Two Skeleton Warriors, one on each side, stood guard in front of the sphere, waiting for the monster to appear.
Five seconds later, the second Wulf Beastman emerged.
Then, the two Skeleton Warriors struck, and the Wulf Beastman died instantly.
"A bit too easy."
After a few rounds, he understood that after killing each monster, a second one would appear after five seconds.
This round of the exam tested the sustained combat capability of each class.
The examiners were stunned.
"How strong are Lin Mo Yu's summons."
"They're stronger than any summoner's summons we've ever seen."
"And he has two."
"This class... amazing."
He has strong skills, and his summons are also incredibly powerful.
This class is going to the top.
It was too boring for Lin Mo Yu, his two Skeleton Warriors guarded the sphere, and the monsters died the moment they came out, not lasting even half a second.
The examiners were no longer interested in watching, and turned their attention to other players.
Xia Xue held her staff and cast spells.
She had chosen Normal difficulty, so the monsters weren't strong.
Two spells were enough to kill one.
She constantly adjusted the intensity of her spells, trying to minimize her spiritual energy consumption.
Although it was also somewhat monotonous, it was much more interesting than what Lin Mo Yu was doing.
