Chapter 141: Men Can’t Be Too Fast!
Lin Moyu and Ning Yiyi agreed to go sign up for the Career Holder Tournament early the next morning.
Lin Moyu didn’t idle that night either.
He spent points to rent the university’s skill training hall.
He began summoning skeletons.
Though the university’s skill training hall wasn’t as good as the military’s, it was much faster than meditating on his own.
Level 26 skeleton mages now consumed 2400 spirit power.
With the title attribute halving it, it still required 1200 points.
Including equipment and title bonuses, he had 4600 spirit power total, enough to summon 3 at a time.
By meditating to recover spirit power, he summoned 10 skeleton mages overnight.
There was still space for more skeleton warriors in the summoning space.
This many skeletons was enough for Lin Moyu to handle most situations.
At least among career holders of the same level, he was invincible.
Registration for the Career Holder Tournament started today.
There were registration points set up all over the world.
Summer Capital University also had several registration points.
The registration points were crowded with people.
Ordinary students and independent academy students all came to sign up.
The lines stretched very long.
Lin Moyu searched through the crowd.
Ning Yiyi asked softly, "Looking for your sister?"
Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes."
Unfortunately, he didn’t find Lin Mohan.
Ning Yiyi said, "The Divine Creation Academy, Creation Academy, and Flame Emperor Academy - the three independent academies of the university aren’t here. They have their own registration points."
So that’s why he couldn’t find her.
Lin Moyu looked down at Ning Yiyi, "Do you know where they are?"
Ning Yiyi shook her head, "I only know they’re not in the university. I’m not sure exactly where. Grandpa won’t tell me, saying I’ll only have the right to know after I join."
Since entering the university, Lin Moyu had never seen students from the top academies.
The three top academies seemed to exist independently from the university.
No one knew what they were doing, appearing very mysterious.
To know, one had to join them.
This was also the dream of countless students.
"Hopefully they’ll come for the tournament."
That’s all he could think.
"Lin Moyu!"
Someone called Lin Moyu’s name, a girl’s voice.
It sounded nice. Ning Yiyi immediately turned to look.
She saw several people walking towards them.
The girl in front was very pretty, not much worse than herself.
Hmm... the girl beside her seemed quite good-looking too, and was an assassin-class career holder like herself.
There was also someone carrying a longsword.
Lin Moyu said softly, "My high school classmate, Xia Xue. Beside her are Zuo Mei and Feng Xiu from my province, who I met during the big exam."
Ning Yiyi nodded, a faint smile appearing on her face. Her small hand held Lin Moyu’s large hand.
Xia Xue walked up, looked at Ning Yiyi, saw her holding Lin Moyu’s hand, and smiled, "Are you here to sign up too?"
Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes."
Xia Xue said, "We’re here to sign up too. Too bad you’re already over level 20, otherwise we could team up."
Feng Xiu smiled, "Yeah, if we could team up with you, we could just wait to take the championship. Not like now, where we have to fight desperately."
"Are you three planning to compete or find others?"
The team competition had a limit of minimum two people, maximum five people.
Generally, of course it was best to have a full team of five.
But some confident in their abilities came with just two people, like Lin Moyu and Ning Yiyi.
Xia Xue laughed, "Who do you think I am? With my connections, I can easily find people. Don’t worry, we’ve already found teammates. A knight plus an elder."
Below level 20, prophets hadn’t learned all their skills yet, so they weren’t very helpful to the whole team.
Having a prophet was not as good as having a healer.
Xia Xue was outgoing and had already made many friends in just a few days.
At this point Xia Xue looked at Ning Yiyi, extending her hand openly, "Xia Xue, level 17, elemental mage, Lin Moyu’s classmate."
"Zuo Mei, level 17, rogue."
"Feng Xiu, level 17, holy swordsman."
Ning Yiyi also introduced herself, "Ning Yiyi, level 25, shadow assassin, Lin Moyu’s lover."
Ning Yiyi admitted it frankly, without any pretense.
Xia Xue and the others weren’t surprised at all.
Xia Xue said in amazement, "You’re already level 25?"
Ning Yiyi giggled, "It’s all thanks to Moyu carrying me while leveling."
"No wonder. Lin Moyu, when are you going to carry us to level up? Don’t favor romance over friendship." Feng Xiu teased.
Lin Moyu thought for a moment, "Get to level 20 as soon as possible, and I’ll carry you through the Tyrant Desert dungeon."
Xia Xue asked curiously, "Why? Is this dungeon very difficult?"
Ning Yiyi immediately explained, and they realized this dungeon was different.
Lin Moyu said, "Anyway, get to level 20 quickly, then contact me. I’ll carry you through."
Zuo Mei looked at Lin Moyu, "What level are you?"
"26."
Hiss!
The three drew in sharp breaths. Lin Moyu’s leveling speed was too fast.
They had only gained one level since entering the university.
Lin Moyu had already gained 4 levels.
He was only level 22 at the opening ceremony, and now he was 26 after just a few days.
This wasn’t leveling, it was taking a plane.
Feng Xiu sighed, "Comparing people really is infuriating."
Xia Xue also said, "Favoring romance over friendship, leveling so fast yourself without carrying old classmates. Got a girlfriend and forgot about friends."
Zuo Mei’s cold gaze looked at Lin Moyu, "Men can’t be too fast."
At this moment, the surroundings fell silent.
Everyone stared blankly at Zuo Mei.
This 18-year-old girl actually said something so insightful.
Feng Xiu was extremely surprised, "You’re not right."
Zuo Mei snorted, "You can understand, you’re the same type."
...
After chatting for a while, Xia Xue and the other two went to find their teammates to sign up together.
Ning Yiyi’s eyes held a meaningful light, "You seem to have a good relationship with Xia Xue."
Lin Moyu thought for a moment, "High school classmates. We’ve spoken less than 10 sentences total."
Ning Yiyi giggled, "You’re just too wooden. If I had such a pretty female classmate, I’d definitely pursue her."
Lin Moyu shook his head, "You’re prettier."
Hearing this, Ning Yiyi felt sweet inside.
The less talkative a person was, the more touching their sweet words were.
"Yiyi!"
Hearing someone call her name, Yiyi looked up. The smile on her pretty face became even more brilliant.
"Sister Taotao!"
Jiang Taotao, Duan Gao, and Miao Yu, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, walked over side by side.
Ning Yiyi ran over, holding Jiang Taotao and Miao Yu’s hands, "Sister Taotao, you’re here to sign up too?"
Jiang Taotao nodded, "Yeah, the Career Holder Tournament is once every five years. Can’t miss it."
Miao Yu held Ning Yiyi’s small hand, "Yiyi, where have you been recently? We couldn’t contact you. Sister Taotao and I were a bit worried."
Ning Yiyi giggled, "I had some things to do, so I left for a bit. By the way, have you found a team?"
Disappointment showed on Jiang Taotao’s face as she shook her head, "No."
Duan Gao snorted, "Those people look down on our levels. They’re not willing to team up with us."
Jiang Taotao and the other two had gained a level during the Mermaid Island trial.
Now Jiang Taotao was level 24, an elf knight.
Duan Gao was a level 21 prophet, and Miao Yu was a level 21 elder.
Jiang Taotao alone could find a team, but dragging the other two along made it difficult.
In the 20-29 level bracket, teams always wanted higher levels.
Jiang Taotao was also troubled by this.
If they really couldn’t find anyone, they could only form a three-person team.
Miao Yu said softly, "Actually we didn’t expect to compete for rankings. We just wanted to experience it."
Duan Gao said, "They’re all a bunch of snobs. We won’t team up with them for dungeons in the future either."
Ning Yiyi’s bright eyes turned, "Sister Taotao, let’s team up together!"
"Let Moyu carry us to the championship, dazzling those snobs."
Ning Yiyi looked at Lin Moyu, her big eyes asking: Is that okay?
Lin Moyu smiled helplessly and nodded. What wasn’t okay about this?
Jiang Taotao’s eyes lit up.
She naturally knew how powerful Lin Moyu was.
Carrying 39 people through the Tyrant dungeon had already spread through the university.
Few people didn’t know about it.
With Lin Moyu, the championship for their bracket was practically guaranteed.
Jiang Taotao didn’t agree immediately, "I have one condition. If Yiyi agrees, we’ll team up."
Ning Yiyi and Jiang Taotao had a good relationship, so she didn’t think much of it, "What condition? Just say it, Sister Taotao."
Jiang Taotao said, "If we win the championship, we don’t want any of the prizes."
She knew that if they could win, it would definitely be thanks to Lin Moyu’s efforts.
Ning Yiyi hadn’t expected this condition.
Jiang Taotao continued: "If we can win the championship, the university will award contribution points. That’s already the best reward for us."
Duan Gao and Miao Yu also quickly said: "That’s right, we don’t want anything else. Just contribution points are enough."
Contribution points were especially hard to get.
Like Lin Moyu only had 90 contribution points before going to the Elemental Battlefield.
Later when his military rank increased, he gained 10 points for each star as a private.
By ten-star private he had reached 190 points.
Then he became a lieutenant, gaining another 100 contribution points, reaching 290 points now.
Lin Moyu didn’t know how many contribution points Jiang Taotao had now, but it probably wasn’t more than his.
