Catastrophic Necromancer TL

Chapter 46: The Best Way is to Deal with the Summoner Himself

Even the boss-level monster was instantly killed by Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu's strength was now recognized by the examiners present.

Although the monsters they arranged were weakened,

They still shouldn't be able to be instantly killed.

Didn't they see how hard others were fighting?

Xia Xue was dodging the Worf Beastman boss's attacks while constantly casting spells to counterattack.

Wang Zihao was directly engaging in close combat, blade meeting flesh.

The Berserker's aggressive nature was on full display.

Only Zuo Mei was doing a bit better, circling the monster and applying various controls.

Look at the career professionals who chose other difficulties, was any of them like Lin Moyu?

Directly sending two skeleton warriors up, two strikes, and the battle was over.

Lin Moyu didn't even move from start to finish.

"I think he can solo those low-level dungeons now."

"More than that, he's qualified to solo Nightmare difficulty dungeons below level 20."

"I don't think his combat power is limited to this. We haven't measured his true strength."

"Wait for the fifth round of tests. If he wants to be provincial or even national top scholar, he must choose the fifth round."

"Maybe then we'll see."

The examiners discussed among themselves. The exam content was set by the empire's higher-ups, and they had no authority to change it.

The only one present with that power was Ning Xuanfeng who came later.

He only spoke when he arrived, and hadn't said anything since, just watching with interest.

The examiners noticed his attention was mostly on Lin Moyu.

He seemed very interested in Lin Moyu.

The third round of tests ended quickly, taking only about 10 minutes.

People like Xia Xue, Zuo Mei, and Wang Zihao successfully killed their opponents, earning 500 points.

Some succeeded, some failed.

Another group of examinees was eliminated, losing the chance to continue to the next round.

They either gave up themselves or were forcibly stopped after being injured and losing combat ability.

Although eliminated, their scores were quite good, enough to enter decent higher education institutions.

Only 120 people successfully passed the third round.

"Now announcing the rankings after the third round."

1. Lin Moyu, Total points: 2105

2. Zuo Mei, Total points: 970 

3. Xia Xue, 770 points

4. Wang Zihao, 765 points

67. Gao Yang, 302 points

Lin Moyu saw Gao Yang's name in the rankings.

Ranking 67th was a decent result.

Persisting to this point, Gao Yang was certain to enter Jiangning University.

Lin Moyu also understood Gao Yang.

This guy was also very proud at heart.

Having come this far, he definitely wouldn't give up easily.

Needless to say, he would certainly participate in the fourth round.

Wang Zihao was still ranked fourth. In the third round, he knew he couldn't catch up.

"The fourth round is about to start. My chance is coming."

He gripped his battle blade tightly, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit.

The examiner's voice sounded again.

"The fourth round of exams will now begin."

"The difficulty of the fourth round will continue to increase, and the danger will increase accordingly."

"You can now choose to continue or give up."

"With your current scores, entering an institution ranked in the empire's top 100 is no problem."

This time, no one chose to give up.

Those who persisted to this point were not cowards.

White light shone down, falling on everyone.

All were restored to peak condition.

Fatigue gone, attributes full, all skill cooldowns reset.

"Since that's the case, I respect your choice."

"The rules for the fourth round are as follows."

"Each of you will face 10 waves of monster attacks."

"Each wave consists of 10 monsters, totaling 100 monsters."

"There's a 1-minute interval between each wave."

"Whether or not you've eliminated the previous wave, the next wave will appear after 1 minute."

"The last wave will be led by a boss-level monster."

"Killing all monsters means passing."

"Each monster is worth 10 points."

"If you clear everything, your final score for this round will be doubled, totaling 2000 points."

After explaining the rules, a light barrier rose in front of everyone.

The first wave of 10 monsters had already appeared behind the barrier.

They were ordinary monsters, level 13 Worf Beastmen.

Of the 10 monsters, 9 were warrior-type, with one mage-type at the back.

Warriors paired with a mage greatly increased the difficulty.

Lin Moyu calculated in his mind, this difficulty had increased by more than just a bit.

If one's monster-clearing ability wasn't enough, they would be surrounded by more and more monsters, eventually leading to failure.

He understood that this round tested the ability to quickly clear monsters.

From basic combat power, to endurance, to one-on-one ability, to rapid monster-clearing ability.

Thus covering the strengths and weaknesses of various careers.

This big exam was truly well-designed.

The examiners were already smiling.

They all stared at Lin Moyu.

"Let's see how you deal with this."

"The best way to deal with a summoner is not to eliminate the summons, but to eliminate the summoner himself."

"I think Lin Moyu might be flustered."

"But his summons are strong enough, he should be able to complete this round."

Ning Xuanfeng, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, "I think this round of tests won't be difficult for him."

Everyone looked at Ning Xuanfeng with slight surprise.

Ning Xuanfeng's words carried 70% certainty, seeming very confident.

Although some examiners didn't quite agree, the status difference was there, so they didn't contradict him.

Anyway, the truth would soon prove who was right or wrong.
