Lin Mo Yu waited for 1 minute, and the last batch of monsters finally spawned.
This time, the mage monsters were gone, replaced by a boss-level monster.
For Lin Mo Yu, it made no difference.
The Skeleton Warriors rushed forward and hacked wildly, then fell silent.
For Lin Mo Yu, the fourth round of the exam was over.
Now, he just had to wait for others.
After waiting for ten minutes, the fourth round of the exam finally ended.
“The fourth round of the exam is over.”
“120 people participated in the fourth round of the exam, and only 5 passed.”
Whoa…
The examiner's voice echoed throughout the entire hall. Everyone, both inside and outside the tower, heard it.
120 people, only 5 remained.
This meant that these 5 were true prodigies, worthy of entering the top elite academies.
At the same time, the rankings of the 5 were also released.
“Now, we will announce the rankings after the second round.”
1. Lin Mo Yu, Total Score: 3605 points.
2. Zuo Mei, Total Score: 2470 points.
3. Xia Xue, 2270 points.
4. Wang Zi Hao, 2265 points.
5. Feng Xiu, 2200 points.
Lin Mo Yu was still far ahead.
Light shone on the five, and all their status effects were fully restored.
Wang Zi Hao, who had been in a weakened state after going berserk, had his weakened status removed by the light, and he could use his Berserk skill again.
“As expected! The fifth round is where the real battle begins!” Wang Zi Hao held his greatsword, a smile on his face.
Xia Xue let out a long sigh, “Top five, I should be able to enter Xiajing Academy.”
Zuo Mei’s eyes were solemn, “Xiajing Academy, I’m coming.”
Without exception, all five of them aimed for Xiajing Academy.
The examiner’s voice rang out again.
“I know you all want to enter Xiajing Academy.”
“But Xiajing Academy isn't easy to get into.”
“Don't think that just because you’re in the top five you can rest easy. There’s one final round of the exam, and if you don't perform well enough, you’ll be eliminated.”
“To enter Xiajing Academy, speak with your scores.”
“As long as you can get 10,000 points, I guarantee you’ll get in.”
“Listen carefully to the rules for the fifth round of the exam.”
…
The five all listened intently.
The fifth round of the test had its own name.
It was called War Zone.
They would each be sent to a special space.
Inside, various monsters would continuously spawn.
There would be warriors, mages, archers, knights, and so on.
Any type of monster you could imagine would appear inside.
And there would be a lot of them, over a hundred in the first batch.
Then, there would be Enhanced, Elite, Enhanced Elite, Bosses, and even Bosses.
The faster you killed, the more monsters would spawn, and the faster they would grow stronger.
This meant that everyone needed to adjust their attack and kill rhythm.
It wasn’t simply about killing as fast as possible.
The most important thing was the score changes.
The War Zone could be divided into five stages, each with different scoring.
Stage One: Monsters are level 15, killing one earns 50 points.
Stage Two: Monster levels reach 16, killing one earns 100 points.
For every level the monsters increase, the points double.
By Stage Five, when the monster level reaches 19, killing one would earn 800 points.
That’s just for the regular mobs. There are also Enhanced monsters, Elite monsters, Bosses, and Bosses, which have even higher points.
Looking at this, if Lin Mo Yu were to fail in this round of the test, his previous lead would be lost.
It seemed unfair.
All the hard work would be in vain.
But Lin Mo Yu understood. For true strong people, the fifth round was where they would shine.
The purpose of the grand exam was to select talented individuals, geniuses who could shoulder the burden for the Human Race.
As the countdown ended, the fifth round of the grand exam officially began.
The five remaining individuals were simultaneously transported to the War Zone.
In the control room at the top of the tower, the images of the five also simultaneously disappeared.
A few examiners showed disappointment, “Sigh, this stupid rule, even we can’t watch.”
“Right, the fifth round is the most exciting part, and yet they don’t let us watch.”
“Our authority only allows us to see the score changes to make our judgment.”
“Lord Ning, can you see it?”
Several examiners turned to Ning Xuan Feng, their eyes full of anticipation.
They were itching to see the performance of Lin Mo Yu in the fifth round.
Ning Xuan Feng glanced around, his voice flat, “No.”
The examiners were shocked, “Even you can’t see it?”
“Who then can see it?”
Ning Xuan Feng nodded, “In the Empire, there are less than ten people who have the authority to view the video of the fifth round.”
The examiners were even more surprised.
Less than ten people, what kind of bigwigs were they? They didn’t dare to imagine.
Ning Xuan Feng continued, “Anyway, remember, this is not something you should inquire about. I’m in a good mood today, so I’m telling you a few extra words.”
“Yes, yes!”
“Don’t worry, we won’t ask.”
The examiners weren’t idiots, they realized the situation wasn’t simple.
But even if they were given the courage, they wouldn’t dare to ask.
In the entire Shen Xia Empire, there were less than ten people with this authority.
Just hearing this was enough to scare them.
The War Zone was vast, a huge plain.
The ground was black, emitting a bloody smell.
There were countless rocks, some of them several meters high.
Such an environment gave the practitioners room to maneuver.
Lin Mo Yu’s nose twitched slightly, “The smell of blood is strong, and it’s filled with death energy. This place has experienced unimaginable battles.”
As a Necromancer, Lin Mo Yu was particularly sensitive to death energy.
The West Sea Mine Dungeon, the previous rounds of exams, none of them had death energy.
But this place was different.
It was truly filled with death energy.
A real life-and-death battle had happened here, and it was large in scale.
Blood stained the ground, turning it black-brown, and the bloody smell lingered for years.
“Are they trying to let us experience the battlefield beforehand?”
Footsteps sounded, and a group of monsters appeared in their sight.
