Chapter 48: Conquest Space, The True Battlefield
After waiting for 1 minute, the final wave of monsters finally spawned.
This time the mage monster was gone, replaced by a boss-level monster.
For Lin Moyu, it made no difference.
The skeleton warriors charged in and attacked wildly, then everything fell silent.
For Lin Moyu, the fourth round of the exam was over.
Now he just had to wait for the others.
After ten minutes, the fourth round finally ended completely.
"The fourth round of exams is over."
"120 people participated in the fourth round, with 5 ultimately passing."
A commotion spread through the entire venue, both inside and outside the tower, as everyone heard the examiner’s voice.
Out of 120 people, only 5 remained.
This meant these 5 were true geniuses, qualified to enter top higher education institutions.
At the same time, the rankings of the five were announced.
"Now announcing the rankings after the fourth round."
1. Lin Moyu, Total points: 3605
2. Zuo Mei, Total points: 2470
3. Xia Xue, 2270 points
4. Wang Zihao, 2265 points
5. Feng Xiu, 2200 points
Lin Moyu was still far ahead.
Light shone on the five, fully restoring all their conditions.
Wang Zihao, who had been in a weakened state after berserking, had his weakness removed and could use his berserk skill again under the light.
"Everything is as expected! The fifth round is where the real victory will be decided!" Wang Zihao gripped his blade, smiling.
Xia Xue let out a long breath, "Top five, I should be able to enter Summer Capital University now."
Zuo Mei’s gaze was solemn, "Summer Capital University, here I come."
Without exception, all five were aiming for Summer Capital University.
The examiner’s voice sounded again.
"I know you all want to enter Summer Capital University."
"But it’s not so easy to get in."
"Don’t think you can rest easy just because you made the top five. There’s still one last round of exams. If your performance isn’t excellent enough, you’ll still be eliminated."
"If you want to enter Summer Capital University, let your points do the talking."
"As long as you can get 10,000 points, I guarantee you can get in."
"Now listen carefully to the rules for the fifth round."
...
All five people listened intently.
The fifth round of tests had its own name.
It was called the Conquest Space.
They would each be sent into a special space.
Various monsters would continuously spawn there.
There would be warrior types, mage types, archer types, knight types, and more.
Every type of monster imaginable would appear there one by one.
And in large numbers, with over a hundred in the first wave.
Later there would be enhanced types, elite types, enhanced elite types, bosses, and even super bosses.
The faster they killed, the more monsters would spawn and the faster they would strengthen.
This required everyone to adjust their own pace of attack.
It wasn’t necessarily better to kill faster.
The key was the point changes.
The Conquest Space could be divided into five stages, with different points for each stage.
In the first stage, monsters were level 15, worth 50 points each.
In the second stage, monsters reached level 16, worth 100 points each.
For each level the monsters increased, the points doubled.
By the fifth stage, when monsters reached level 19, killing one would earn 800 points.
This was just for ordinary monsters. Enhanced monsters, elite monsters, bosses and super bosses were worth even more points.
Looking at it this way, if Lin Moyu failed in this round of tests, his previous lead would no longer exist.
It seemed a bit unfair.
Previous efforts would be wasted.
But Lin Moyu understood that for true strong ones, the fifth round was where they could really shine.
The purpose of the big exam was to select geniuses who could be pillars for humanity.
As the countdown ended, the fifth round officially began.
The remaining five were simultaneously transported into the Conquest Space.
In the control room at the top of the tower, the images of the five people disappeared.
The examiners looked disappointed, "Sigh, these damn rules, even we can’t watch."
"That’s right, the fifth round is the most exciting part, but we’re not allowed to see it."
"Our authority only allows us to see the point changes and make judgments based on that."
"Lord Ning, can you see it?"
The examiners all looked at Ning Xuanfeng expectantly.
They were really itching to see, especially Lin Moyu’s performance in the fifth round.
Ning Xuanfeng swept his gaze over them and said flatly, "No, I can’t see either."
The examiners were shocked, "Even you can’t see it?"
"Then who has the authority to view it?"
Ning Xuanfeng nodded, "In the empire, less than ten people have the authority to view the fifth round exam videos."
The examiners were even more astonished.
Less than ten people - what kind of big shots were they? They didn’t dare even imagine.
Ning Xuanfeng continued, "Anyway, remember this is not something you should inquire about. I’m in a good mood today, so I said a bit more."
"We understand, we understand!"
"Don’t worry, we definitely won’t inquire further."
The examiners weren’t fools. They realized this matter was certainly not simple.
But even if they had the courage now, they wouldn’t dare to inquire further.
In the entire Divine Summer Empire, less than 10 people had this authority.
Just hearing about it was scary enough.
The Conquest Space was very vast, a huge plain.
The ground was black, emanating a bloody smell.
Countless rocks were scattered about, some several meters tall.
This environment gave career professionals room to maneuver.
Lin Moyu’s nose twitched slightly, "The smell of blood is strong, and it’s full of death energy. Unimaginable battles must have taken place here."
As a Necromancer, Lin Moyu was especially sensitive to death energy.
Whether in the West Sea Mine dungeon or the previous rounds of exams,
There was no death energy present.
This place was different.
It was truly permeated with death energy.
Real life-and-death battles had occurred here on a large scale.
Blood had soaked into the ground, dyeing it dark brown. The smell of blood lingered for years.
"Is this to let us experience the battlefield in advance?"
Footsteps sounded as a group of monsters appeared in view.
