Prince Hao chose the difficulty of hell without hesitation.
In his opinion, defeating a single opponent on Hell difficulty was equivalent to defeating five opponents on normal difficulty.
He also had unwavering confidence in his own fighting abilities.
"The boy who took first place shouldn't be under the illusion that he can beat me in the second round," he explained.
In his hand he held a colossal war blade, which was nothing other than the weapon he had intended for his vocation.
"Ah, someone's gone for the hell difficulty."
\[Prince Hao, Level 16, Berserker\]
"Indeed, the Berserker is a formidable presence among the rare callings."
"A berserker's enduring combat skills are commendable, and he should achieve commendable results this round."
Xia Xue thought for a moment before deciding on the normal difficulty level.
Elementalists were poorly suited for close combat and had a hard time in one-on-one battles against high-intensity opponents without a protective buffer.
Therefore, she chose the normal difficulty level and wanted to triumph through sheer quantity.
As third-placed in the first round, Xia Xue also attracted the attention of the examiners.
Xia Xue's real-time feed was displayed before their eyes.
When Xia Xue chose the standard difficulty level, they smiled back knowingly.
\[Xia Xue, Level 15 Elementalist]
"A very wise decision."
"Although elementalists have impressive burst potential, it can prove problematic if they fail to take out their opponents before they get close."
"Especially at lower levels, when skills are incomplete, this is even more pronounced."
Left Mei, who came second in the first round, opted for the Hell difficulty level.
\[Left Mei, level 16, Rogue]
The examiners also had their eye on Left Mei's choice.
As soon as they had made their decision, they gave the corresponding ratings.
"Rogues are one of the rarer professions than assassins and have excellent close combat skills
"Whether she chooses the Nightmare or Hell difficulty level, both are recommended."
"Indeed, she's a promising candidate."
"I wonder which difficulty level Lin Moyu the Necromancer will choose this time."
The people worth paying attention to had all made their choices, leaving only Lin Moyu.
After understanding the rules of the test, Lin Moyu formed his own judgment.
"This round of testing was really to check the participants' stamina in battle"
"Fighting for thirty minutes is a great strain on any profession"
"But I'm different."
A faint smile played around his lips.
Lin Moyu made his choice.
"I choose hell difficulty."
For him, the bigger the challenge, the better.
Regardless of the skill used, its effectiveness was of the highest quality.
The higher the level of difficulty, the more unit points were awarded, which was a great advantage for him.
An examiner laughed: "As expected, he chose the Hell difficulty level"
"He's not only a mage, but also a summoner. With the summoners by his side, he has no fear of approaching enemies."
"Besides, his skill potency is impressive. Combined with his summons, he can undoubtedly achieve considerable results in Hell difficulty."
"I believe most of the summoners who have participated in the past trials have also chosen the Hell difficulty."
"Let's wait and see."
Outside the examination hall, principals from all over Jiangning Province gathered.
"Lao Lu, you'll be happy this time."
"Tsk tsk, 0.1 seconds, how many years has it been since we last saw a result like this?"
"In the top three, Lao Lu, you alone occupy two places. You have no choice but to go for it."
"Your school is capable of making a significant contribution this time."
"If Lin Moyu manages to win a provincial title, Lao Lu, you'll aim high."
Lu Yun's complexion flushed and he was brimming with excitement.
He hadn't expected Lin Moyu to achieve such outstanding results.
He was so overwhelmed with excitement that he couldn't speak for a moment and his whole body trembled.
After all the candidates had made their selections and the countdown had ended, the second round of the exam began.
A ball of light appeared in front of Lin Moyu.
The sphere spun in the air and looked like the entrance to a dungeon.
An armored monster emerged from the ball of light and let out a wild roar.
With a mere thought, Lin Moyu's skeletal warrior had already rushed out.
He mercilessly slashed at the monster with his blade.
At the same time, the monster was detected by Lin Moyu's detection technique.
\[[Wolf Orc Warrior (Elite)]]
\[[Level: 13]]
\[[Strength: 500]]
\[[Dexterity: 300\]]
\[Spirit: 150\]
\[Constitution: 400\]
These attributes...
were rather weak.
Compared to the West Sea Mine instance, the Nightmare level monsters were much weaker.
Lin Moyu immediately understood the situation.
After all, this was a test that was suitable for the majority.
If the monsters were too powerful, it would lead to far-reaching exclusions.
In such a scenario, the test would lose its intended meaning.
The skeletal warrior's blade had already lunged at the wolf-orc warrior.
The flesh was shredded.
With just one blow, the wolf-orc warrior was doomed.
Before the wolf-orc warrior could strike back, the second blow followed.
The wolf-orc warrior met a gruesome end.
"Two blows."
Lin Moyu watched the action carefully and summoned another skeleton warrior.
Two skeleton warriors stood guard on either side of the light sphere, waiting for the monster to appear.
Five seconds later, the second wolf-orc warrior materialized.
The two skeleton warriors then swung their blades and the wolf-orc warrior was killed instantly.
"That's pretty reckless."
After several rounds, he had already realized that after killing one monster, another would appear within five seconds.
This test round was about evaluating the stamina of each class in a sustained battle.
The testers were very surprised.
"Why are Lin Moyu's summons so powerful?"
"They surpass all the summons we have seen from other summoners."
"And there are two of them."
"This profession... is terrifying."
With abilities that are inherently powerful, and summons of such formidable caliber, this profession was destined for greatness.
Alongside Lin Moyu, the two Skeleton Warriors guarded the Light Orb, which was very troublesome. As soon as a monster appeared, it died within half a second.
The examiners had no desire to continue watching and turned their attention to other candidates.
Xia Xue waved her staff and cast her spells.
Since she had chosen the standard difficulty level, the opponents were not particularly strong.
Basically, two spells were enough to defeat one.
She constantly adjusted the strength of her spells to minimize the mental effort.
It was a bit monotonous, but much more effective than Lin Moyu's efforts.
