Lin Mo Yu was right.
Throughout the history of the Divine Summer Empire's grand exam, there were very few candidates who could pass the second stage.
The fifth round of the Kong Xin exam, also known as the final round, was a battle in the Conquest Space.
The Conquest Space had five stages.
The current highest record was passing the third stage.
This record was set over a hundred years ago.
No one had ever broken this record since.
The examiners from Jiangning Province were also speculating whether Lin Mo Yu could break the record.
“I think he has a chance.”
“Although I don’t know what his skills are like, his previous performance shows that his skills are extremely abnormal.”
The examiner had stopped using "powerful" to describe him and directly called it "abnormal."
“I suspect he awakened a talent.”
“No matter how strong a profession is, there’s a limit. It can’t be strong to this extent.”
“If he really awakened a talent, that would be a great thing.”
“Exactly. If he can awaken a talent right after becoming a professional, maybe he can awaken another talent during his second advancement.”
“You’re thinking too much. Talented professionals are already rare, and dual-talented professionals are even rarer.”
“Who knows?”
The examiners were chatting away, their attention drifting off topic.
But they were all watching the changing scores with their eyes wide open.
Lin Mo Yu’s score change was the most dramatic. It either remained unchanged or skyrocketed.
Lin Mo Yu repeated his previous trick, sending his Skeleton Warriors into action to attract the attention of the Firlin Beastmen.
The key to dealing with beastmen was not about how innovative the tactic was, but its practicality.
The Skeleton Warriors drew fire, pulling the monsters together, creating corpses, and then using Corpse Explosion for area damage.
Lin Mo Yu was already familiar with this tactic, and it was incredibly efficient.
Soon, the scattered Skeleton Warriors had attracted all the Firlin Beastmen within their sight.
Then they started running around the Firlin Beastmen archers.
When Lin Mo Yu saw that the monsters had gathered enough, he gave the Skeleton Warriors an attack order.
His skills were unleashed, and the level 16 Firlin Beastmen Warriors were instantly killed.
Then there was a series of Corpse Explosions. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding area was calm again.
His score instantly increased by 20,000, reaching 34,605 points.
In the second stage, every monster could give Lin Mo Yu 100 points.
200 monsters would mean 20,000 points.
The examiners were already accustomed to this.
“This guy has entered the second stage.”
“The monsters in the second stage are just level 1 higher, and they won't affect him.”
“This is basically just giving him points. If we weren’t restricted, I’d really want to increase the difficulty.”
“Right. If we let him fight dozens of bosses, that would be fun.”
Looking at Lin Mo Yu’s score of over 30,000, and then looking at the other candidates, the gap was simply too wide.
So far, Xia Xue was in second place.
As an Elemental Mage, Xia Xue had some decent area attack skills.
She was the second fastest person at clearing monsters after Lin Mo Yu.
Her score had already reached over 7,000 points.
She had almost killed all 100 monsters from the first round.
Following Xia Xue was Feng Xiu.
This Holy Swordsman had come from behind, and his score had also reached 6,000.
This showed that Holy Swordsmen were also a good profession for dealing with mass attacks.
Zuo Mei and Wang Zihao were lagging behind.
Zuo Mei was performing one assassination after another, which was stable but not very efficient.
Wang Zihao was more straightforward and directly clashed with the monsters.
As for his Berserk skill, it wasn't time yet.
Both of their scores were increasing slowly, and they had only reached over 5,000 points.
However, they were both confident.
They were sure they would break through 10,000 points once they completed the first stage.
As long as they could break through 10,000 points.
Their level, profession, and score would all meet the requirements.
Entering the Xiajing Academy would be a sure thing.
The grand exam of the Divine Summer Empire was nationwide and conducted by province.
It took place on the same day and at the same time, so the progress of each province was roughly the same.
Now, the fifth round of the grand exam had started in almost all the provinces.
Numerous trial towers were opening up Conquest Spaces.
Everyone who was able to enter was a genius.
This was the most talented group of candidates in the Divine Summer Empire this year.
In the eyes of the higher-ups of the Divine Summer Empire, these candidates were the future of the Divine Summer Empire.
Every year, a group of strong individuals would emerge from them, bringing fresh blood to the Divine Summer Empire.
In the capital of the Divine Summer Empire's neighboring countries, the renowned Xiajing City.
A giant tower was floating in the air.
Countless people in Xiajing City looked up at the sky, and they could clearly see the tower from any corner.
This tower didn't normally appear. When it did, it was the day of the Divine Summer Empire's grand exam.
This was the main body of the Trial Tower.
The Trial Towers conducting the grand exam in various provincial capitals were all its clones.
There were three divine towers in the Divine Summer Empire.
The Trial Tower was one of them.
Another one was the Divine Summer Tower located in the Xiajing Academy.
The third one was called the Demon Slayer Tower. It was stationed at the front line most of the time and rarely appeared in front of the citizens.
Suddenly, the sky darkened, and the temperature dropped sharply.
Night descended instantly, and a dark evil light flew from the sky, charging toward the Trial Tower at an astonishing speed.
“How dare you!”
A deafening voice echoed through the entire city.
A virtual giant hand appeared in the sky, trying to block the dark evil light.
“Tsk tsk, you can’t stop it!”
A sinister laugh echoed from the dark evil light, and the black light suddenly intensified.
A giant demon head appeared in the darkness.
The head had two horns, sharp teeth, and looked exactly like the demons described in books.
The two horns emitted a piercing sound, and they burst with black light, shooting towards the virtual giant hand.
The black light collided with the giant hand, without any sound, and both vanished into nothingness.
At this time, a giant eye appeared in the sky, shooting out golden light, aiming directly at the dark evil light.
The dark evil light suddenly split into two. One of them collided with the golden light.
The other one instantly accelerated by dozens of times, rushing into the Trial Tower.
“You’re seeking death!”
Another giant hand appeared in the sky, firmly grasping the demon head.
The demon head let out a “tsk tsk” sinister laugh, “This is just a clone, kill it if you want.”
“But those little guys in your Trial Tower… tsk tsk…”
With a bang, the demon head was crushed.
