Chapter 172: Sister, Xiao Yu!
Lin Moyu passed the preliminaries in less than one minute.
This left a deep impression on everyone.
Lin Moyu’s performance was too outstanding, far beyond what others could achieve.
When he came out, others were still fighting the second monster.
By the time he sat down bored, people were finally starting to fight the third monster.
At this point, eliminations began to occur.
The elimination rate was still astonishing.
For career holders without sufficient strength, killing two monsters was already quite good.
By the third monster, they could no longer continue.
The monsters inside wouldn’t wait. A few seconds after killing one, a new stronger monster would appear.
Not many people could kill seven monsters in a row.
Some even analyzed that the individual preliminaries might have a higher elimination rate than the team preliminaries.
People were constantly being eliminated, their names turning gray.
Others successfully killed monsters, the numbers after their names increasing.
Lin Moyu’s name stood out especially brightly.
He remained at the top, with no one able to surpass him.
After a full half hour, the second person finally killed all seven monsters.
Their name appeared after Lin Moyu’s.
In the same column, also in the level 20 bracket.
Seeing this, Lin Moyu chuckled, "What a coincidence."
The second place was none other than Tang Jianfei.
Tang Jianfei appeared outside the light screen with his arrogance.
After a series of battles, he successfully passed without any help.
He raised his head proudly, confidently looking at the light screen, then his expression changed drastically.
He was ranked second again, with Lin Moyu’s name above his once more.
He turned to see Lin Moyu sitting nearby, seemingly lost in thought.
He asked in a deep voice, "When did you come out?"
Lin Moyu glanced at him, "Earlier than you."
Tang Jianfei snorted, "You got lucky. I’ll definitely defeat you in the arena."
It’s unclear where this guy’s confidence came from.
Lin Moyu couldn’t be bothered with people like this.
He turned his gaze to another preliminary arena.
That was the arena for high-level career holders.
Individual preliminaries were also being held there now.
He wanted to go look, to see if he could find Lin Mohan.
But he had to wait for the preliminaries here to completely end before he could go.
Lin Moyu closed his eyes to rest, waiting quietly.
More and more people were eliminated.
But few passed.
Many people fought slower and slower.
Quite a few were eliminated on the fifth or even sixth monster.
It was a pity.
Finally, after waiting a full hour, the last person came out.
The light screen instantly fixed, no longer changing.
Each group had a top name.
Though the text and rankings were exactly the same,
In others’ eyes, Lin Moyu’s name seemed the most dazzling.
The deep, majestic voice sounded again.
"Individual preliminaries concluded!"
"Now announcing the preliminary results."
"... people."
"... people."
"... people."
"Preliminaries concluded. The Career Holder Tournament will officially begin tomorrow."
Countless people were stunned hearing these results.
A pass rate of less than 2%, eliminating 99% of people at once.
Everyone was curious what kind of challenges the Divine Summer Empire had set.
How could it make so many people unable to pass the preliminaries?
Lin Moyu didn’t care about these things.
The moment the preliminaries were announced over, he had already left for the other preliminary arena.
By the time he arrived, the preliminaries in the high-level arena had also ended.
The light screen still emitted brilliant light, with the names of those who passed still flashing.
Lin Moyu searched carefully, but couldn’t find Lin Mohan’s name among the thousand-plus names.
"Perhaps sister didn’t participate in the individual competition." He sighed softly, unable to hide his disappointment.
Suddenly, he froze.
His usually calm face showed unprecedented excitement.
His whole body trembled slightly.
Not far away, a slender figure stood against the setting sun, filling the entire world.
She smiled gently.
Her graceful beauty carried a heroic air.
Like plum blossoms in winter wind, fragrant in the breeze.
"Xiao Yu."
She spoke with a smile, her voice like clear springs bubbling.
Lin Moyu took two steps in three to reach Lin Mohan’s side, hugging her tightly.
"Sister!"
All his longing, all his emotions, were conveyed in this one word.
Not only was Lin Moyu excited, but Lin Mohan was equally so.
Tears silently fell from her eyes, unable to hide her longing.
The setting sun shone across the sea onto them, like a beautiful painting.
After a while, the two separated.
Lin Mohan gestured, "Xiao Yu, you’ve grown taller again. I remember a year ago you weren’t much taller than me."
Lin Mohan was tall, over 1.75 meters.
Still a bit shorter than Lin Moyu’s 1.85 meters.
Facing his sister, Lin Moyu was more relaxed than ever before.
His face also had more smiles.
The two sat side by side in the sunset, talking.
Lin Moyu still didn’t say much, mainly Lin Mohan speaking.
She talked about her experiences over the past year, about little details.
Lin Moyu realized his sister seemed to have been paying attention to him all along.
She knew about him becoming the national top scholar, entering Summer Capital University.
But why didn’t she come find him?
Lin Mohan’s answer was that it wasn’t convenient.
She didn’t explain further.
Lin Mohan smiled, "You still don’t talk much. How will you get a girlfriend like this?"
"There are many nice girls in Summer Capital University. You should seize the opportunity."
Lin Moyu smiled, "Sister, how did you know I would come here?"
Lin Mohan showed a sweet smile, "Because I’m your sister, of course I could guess."
Lin Mohan had indeed guessed Lin Moyu would come.
She had been waiting here early.
Footsteps sounded.
Someone walked over.
Four people approached, all wearing Summer Capital University clothes. Each had a special symbol on their sleeves and collars.
Lin Moyu recognized this symbol - the Creation God Academy symbol.
"Junior Lin, who is this?"
The leader spoke, looking at Lin Moyu.
His gaze carried an imposing aura, not intentional but naturally emitted.
Creation God Academy students were all top geniuses. It was normal for their auras to be extraordinary.
Lin Mohan stood up, "This is my brother, Lin Moyu."
Lin Moyu nodded to him, "Hello."
"So it’s Xiao Han’s brother." The person’s attitude towards Lin Moyu clearly changed.
Lin Mohan said, "Senior, you all go back first. I’ll talk with my brother a bit longer."
"Alright, come back early then. The competition starts tomorrow. We still need to discuss tactics."
The person agreed readily.
Then he glanced at Lin Moyu again. Seeing the military badge on Lin Moyu’s shoulder, his eyes flashed.
In that brief moment, he observed Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu also observed him.
On his shoulder was also a military badge.
A silver lieutenant badge with one star.
One star less than Lin Moyu’s.
After he left, Lin Moyu asked, "Are they sister’s teammates for this competition?"
Lin Mohan nodded, "Yes, they’re all top geniuses from Creation God Academy, all very powerful."
Lin Moyu smiled, "I think sister is more amazing. You entered the academy just a few months ago but already joined Creation God Academy. Sister must be level 40 now, right?"
Lin Mohan said softly, "I’m a bit different from them."
Indeed, Lin Moyu also felt the difference.
Those people all looked like top geniuses, very impressive.
But compared to Lin Mohan, they seemed to be lacking something.
This was Lin Moyu’s feeling.
"Sister, what exactly is your career? Why do you level up so fast?"
Lin Moyu had always been curious what Lin Mohan’s career was, and why she leveled up so quickly.
Before when he hadn’t transitioned careers, Lin Mohan hadn’t said.
The two sat down again.
Looking at the sun gradually sinking into the sea, Lin Mohan said softly, "When I first awakened, my career was Blade Dancer, a legendary career."
"Now I’ve luckily achieved career ascension, becoming a Holy Sword Dancer."
Lin Moyu was shocked.
He didn’t expect his sister to have achieved career ascension.
This was no longer a matter of luck.
Career ascension only looked at results, not the process.
The process didn’t matter at all, only the result was important.
Lin Mohan continued, "I level up fast because of my talent. My leveling speed is over 10 times that of other career holders."
"And after career ascension, my talent was further enhanced, making leveling even faster."
Lin Moyu finally understood why his sister leveled up so quickly.
He had suspected before, but couldn’t be certain.
It really was due to her talent.
Talents were originally very difficult to awaken, and there were countless types of talents.
Some talents were very strong, some were trash.
Being able to awaken a talent, and get a good one, made such career holders one-in-a-million geniuses.
His sister’s leveling speed was over 10 times that of other career holders. This talent was undeniably very strong.
As long as she could keep leveling up, even if her career itself was a bit weaker, she could use her level advantage to suppress others.
In the late game, a one level difference meant a huge attribute gap.
Moreover, how could a legendary career be weak?
Add to that career ascension, becoming a mid-tier legendary career.
It would definitely be stronger.
Lin Mohan said, "My teacher has very strict requirements for me. I’ve been constantly leveling up, with no time to come find you."
"I heard news about you from my teacher."
"I didn’t expect Xiao Yu to become the national top scholar. That’s really great!"
"You must have many little fangirls in the university. You just don’t talk much."
"Hurry and find one, have a chubby baby."
Lin Mohan’s words became more and more outrageous.
His sister was like this. Sometimes very serious, but also unrestrained when joking.
The two chatted for a long time, until it was completely dark.
Lin Mohan slowly stood up, "Xiao Yu, I have to go back."
"After the competition, according to my teacher’s arrangements, I have to go elsewhere for trials."
"I may not be able to see Xiao Yu for a long time again."
Lin Moyu listened and nodded slightly, "When I join Creation God Academy, I’ll come find you."
Lin Mohan smiled brightly, "Alright, sister will wait for Xiao Yu to come."
Suddenly she added earnestly, "Xiao Yu, remember to find a girlfriend soon and have a chubby boy."
An elder sister is like a mother.
