Chapter 47: The Holy Swordsman Exerts Himself, Entering Berserk Mode
The fourth round of testing officially began.
A third skeleton warrior appeared in front of Lin Moyu.
The 3 skeletons charged at the level 13 monsters, one slash each.
Instant kills, without a doubt.
A flash of fire appeared in Lin Moyu’s palm, landing on the head of the mage monster at the back.
Another instant kill.
Less than three seconds from the start of the test.
Almost in the blink of an eye.
9 Worf Beastman Warriors and 1 Worf Beastman Mage had been killed.
"This..."
"How does this kid have a third summon?"
"This little brat, why didn’t he bring it out from the start, only now?"
"Damn kid, why does he like hiding so much?"
"Yeah, the stronger you are, the happier we are."
Ning Xuanfeng had an "as expected" expression.
Lin Moyu unconsciously frowned. This so-called big exam had no challenge.
It wasn’t even as exciting as his first time in the West Sea Mine dungeon.
No surprises at all.
He was even starting to feel drowsy.
Unconsciously, he took out another sweet potato and started eating leisurely.
"I’m not watching anymore, there’s no point watching this kid."
"Right, it’s better to watch the others."
On Lin Moyu’s side, monsters appeared and were dealt with in at most 3 seconds. Indeed, not interesting.
Watching others was much more fun.
Xia Xue kept retreating, leaving a trail of fire under her feet.
The Worf Beastmen chasing her stepped on the flames, constantly taking damage.
Fire Path!
This was a skill mages could master at level 10. Once used, it formed fire damage wherever it passed.
It was very effective here.
Area attacks were a mage’s forte.
Although her level wasn’t high enough, Xia Xue already had two area attack skills.
The other was Ice Rain, which had a slowing effect.
Combining the two, Xia Xue quickly cleared the Worf Beastman Warriors.
Comparatively, Zuo Mei had a much harder time.
Infiltrators had strong burst damage, rich combat techniques, and many control skills.
They were excellent at assassination and one-on-one combat.
The downside was they weren’t good at group fights and lacked area attack skills.
So Zuo Mei was at a disadvantage here, only able to clear monsters one by one.
Wang Zihao maintained his all-out fighting style.
His huge two-handed sword whirled with loud whooshes.
No matter which one, they were all interesting to watch.
Only Lin Moyu’s side was extremely boring.
None of the examiners wanted to watch him.
He spent more time spacing out than fighting monsters.
"No need to watch, he’ll get first place in the fourth round again."
"Let’s see if he dares to participate in the fifth round."
"Although his points are far ahead now, if he doesn’t participate in the fifth round, others will catch up."
In the fourth round, 10 monsters appeared every batch, every minute.
Those who were slow were starting to face more and more monsters.
After 3 minutes, some people had already given up this test.
Too many monsters had surrounded them.
They were teleported outside the Trial Tower one by one.
Being eliminated in the fourth round wasn’t shameful, and was even a bit honorable.
They were all geniuses, able to enter the empire’s top 100 higher education institutions without problem.
Those eliminated all had happy expressions, saying the monsters were too many, too terrifying.
"So scary, I thought I’d be eaten."
"How can you kill so many monsters in time?"
"Wonder how many can pass this round."
"I thought I was good enough, but there are always better people."
"By the way, that Lin Moyu is too amazing, I guess this round won’t be hard for him either."
Gao Yang reached his limit after the fifth batch of monsters appeared and had to give up.
As soon as he came out, he heard people talking about Lin Moyu. Having held back for so long, he couldn’t help but say, "Lin Moyu is my boss, of course he’s amazing."
"What’s your name, brother?"
"I’m Gao Yang from West Sea First High," Gao Yang said loudly.
"So it’s Brother Gao, tell us how amazing Lin Moyu is."
Gao Yang smiled, "Sure, let me tell you."
...
He started talking non-stop. When he mentioned Lin Moyu taking him through a Nightmare dungeon in 10 minutes, everyone looked incredulous.
How was that possible?
No one believed him, thinking Gao Yang was boasting.
Gao Yang didn’t care if they believed him or not, he just kept talking.
He just wanted to talk, having held back for so long.
As more and more people were eliminated, fewer screens remained in the control room at the top of the Trial Tower.
In the end, only five people were left.
Lin Moyu, Xia Xue, Zuo Mei, Wang Zihao, and one called Feng Xiu.
[Feng Xiu, Level 15, Holy Swordsman]
The examiners were now watching Feng Xiu.
Feng Xiu wielded his long sword, constantly moving within the circle of monsters.
His movements were as agile as Zuo Mei’s.
Although each attack didn’t look powerful, they added up, and the Worf Beastmen fell one by one without notice.
"This Feng Xiu is finally starting to exert himself."
"I thought so, Holy Swordsman is a rare career, I wondered why his performance wasn’t outstanding at first. Turns out he was waiting for this."
"He must be from the Feng family of sword cultivators. So he knows the big exam rules and knows the last two rounds are key for raising points."
"That’s why he’s only starting to exert himself now."
"The Feng family was involved in making the big exam rules, so naturally they’re familiar."
"Oh, Wang Zihao finally decided to go berserk."
"He’s not stupid, he’s calculating the time. Now is the most suitable time to go berserk."
The seventh batch of monsters appeared.
Wang Zihao let out a roar, activating his Berserk skill.
[Berserk: Duration 5 minutes, Strength increased by 500%, Constitution increased by 500%, Agility decreased by 200%. After the effect ends, enters a weakened state for 30 minutes.]
After going berserk, Wang Zihao’s attack power would increase several times.
But it only lasted 5 minutes, so he waited until the seventh batch of monsters appeared to activate it.
5 minutes was enough.
There were still over 30 monsters on the field, plus the seventh batch, totaling over 40.
In Berserk mode, Wang Zihao started frantically clearing monsters.
Each sword swing took out two or three monsters.
He began rapidly clearing the field.
