Chapter 42: A Godly Result of 0.1 Seconds
The test was actually examining the combat techniques of career professionals.
Although the level was a bit higher, it shouldn’t be a problem for qualified professionals.
This setup had been used for many years without issues.
Battles usually lasted from 10 seconds to half a minute.
This could show the professional’s combat ability.
But a problem occurred with Lin Moyu.
An instant kill - how could they judge combat technique from this?
"What should we do?" an examiner asked.
Everyone looked at the middle-aged man in mage robes.
He was in charge of mage-class exams.
But now he was unsure too. The intended effect wasn’t achieved, which was troublesome.
At this moment, an elder appeared in the room.
"Lord Ning, why are you here?"
The examiners immediately bowed to the newcomer.
Ning Xuanfeng said solemnly, "I heard there’s a new career professional this year, so I came to take a look."
Lin Moyu’s image appeared on the light screen. Ning Xuanfeng looked at it, "He seems like a good young man."
The examiners quickly explained what had just happened.
After listening, Ning Xuanfeng said, "You all want to know how strong this new Necromancer career is."
"The rare career professional setting can’t measure its strength."
"So let’s use the legendary career professional setting for a second test on him."
An examiner objected, "But that’s not fair to him, and how should we calculate the points?"
Ning Xuanfeng smiled, "This situation has happened before. There have been career professionals who instantly killed monsters before."
"Let’s make an exception this time. First, declare him the top scorer of this exam, giving him 100 points."
"For the second test, if he passes, give him an extra 1000 points."
"I can personally provide these 1000 points."
The examiners quickly said, "Lord Ning, you jest. How could we let you provide the points?"
"That’s right, we have points. Let’s do as you say and add a second test."
Lin Moyu waited for a moment, and another light barrier appeared before him.
Another monster appeared on the other side of the barrier.
It looked identical to the previous one, but its aura was much stronger.
[Please proceed with the second test, examinee. Defeat the monster before you.]
Lin Moyu wasn’t surprised by a second test.
He thought this might be the normal procedure.
He had no idea he was being treated differently.
As soon as the barrier disappeared, he activated Soul Fire.
The mage monster instantly died with a scream.
Just like before.
Another instant kill.
The examiners were shocked again.
They still couldn’t see anything.
The legendary career level monster was 4 levels higher than the professional.
The mage monster Lin Moyu just killed was set as a level 20 monster.
Yet it was still instantly killed.
"This skill... it’s too powerful for the future."
"Does he have some powerful equipment?"
"He’s only level 16, what powerful equipment could he have? It’s just a purely strong skill."
"What should we do? Continue testing?"
Everyone looked to Ning Xuanfeng.
Since his arrival, he had been in charge.
Ning Xuanfeng shook his head, "No need. Proceed to the second round of exams."
By now, everyone had finished the first round of exams.
The authoritative voice echoed:
"Combat class examinees, first round of exams concluded."
"632 participants, 522 qualified."
"Now announcing results."
A ranking appeared before everyone’s eyes.
[Lin Moyu, 0.1 seconds, Points: 100]
[Zuo Mei, 3.2 seconds, Points: 70]
[Xia Xue, 5.2 seconds, Points: 40]
Lin Moyu was clearly ranked first.
Taking only 0.1 seconds.
Second place was Zuo Mei, taking 3.2 seconds.
Xia Xue ranked third, taking 5.2 seconds.
The Dynasty Guild’s vice leader, Wang Zihao, ranked fourth, taking 5.5 seconds.
The top three received 100, 70, and 40 points respectively. From fourth place on, everyone received 10 points.
Seeing this ranking and time, Wang Zihao was furious.
"How could I not even make the top three?"
"First place should be mine."
"0.1 seconds? That’s a joke. There must be a mistake."
"This result is godly."
Not just Wang Zihao, many people found Lin Moyu’s result unbelievable.
Xia Xue looked at the ranking, "Lin dummy is so amazing. I won’t admit defeat."
Gao Yang’s expression was exaggerated, "Boss is truly the boss. Too awesome, can’t help but admire."
Lin Moyu unconsciously rubbed his nose, "Did I go too far?"
He hadn’t expected this seemingly easy first round to eliminate over 100 people.
The authoritative voice sounded again:
"Combat class second round exam will begin soon. Examinees may choose their difficulty."
"Note, injuries or deaths may occur in the second round. Please choose according to your ability."
"If you encounter danger during the exam, you can shout to give up. Your exam will end, and your score will be based on your progress at that point."
The requirements for the second round were repeated.
The second round was like a dungeon, with Normal, Nightmare, and Hell difficulties.
Different difficulties gave different points for killing monsters.
Normal difficulty gave 1 point per monster, Nightmare 3 points, and Hell 5 points.
The time limit was 30 minutes for all.
The second round compared who could kill more monsters in 30 minutes.
