Dark Sinister Aura, Demon Skull

Lin Moyu's thoughtfulness is not unfounded.

In the annals of the imperial trials of the Divine Summer Realm, there are few who pass the second stage.

The fifth round of the Twisted Skyline Trial is the final test.

The Twisted Skyline consists of five stages in total.

The highest record currently stands at the end of the third stage.

This record was set over a century ago.

Since then, no one has managed to beat it.

The examiners in Jiangning Province are all speculating as to whether Lin Moyu can break this record.

"I think there is a chance."

"I do not know this person's abilities, but judging by their past performances, their skills are exceptional."

The assessors no longer just want to call them high achievers, they simply call them exceptional.

"I suspect that he has awakened his innate talent."

"However great a profession may be, there are limits; it is impossible to reach such a level."

"If he has indeed awakened his talent, that would be a monumental event."

"In fact, if someone succeeds in awakening talents right after changing careers, he might even be able to awaken new talents in the second transition."

"You are too optimistic; talent bearers are already extremely rare, and dual talent bearers are even rarer."

"Who knows."

The examiners gradually digressed into tangential discussions.

But they all observed the fluctuation of points.

The most dramatic fluctuations were in Lin Moyu's score, which either remained unchanged or skyrocketed.

Lin Moyu resorted to his old tricks, causing the Skeleton Warriors to attract the attention of the Philin Orcs.

When you are dealing with orcs, novelty is not as important as practicality.

The Skeleton Warriors drew fire and lured the monsters together to create corpses, which were then used for explosive blasts that caused a large number of casualties.

This strategy had become second nature to Lin Moyu, its efficiency was astonishingly high.

Soon, the scattered skeleton warriors had attracted the attention of the Philin Orcs.

Then they began to encircle the Philin Orc archers.

When Lin Moyu felt that the monsters had gathered sufficiently, he ordered the skeleton warriors to attack.

The skills were executed and the level 16 Philin Orc fighters were killed instantly.

A series of corpse explosions followed, and in the blink of an eye, calm was restored to the area.

The score immediately rose by 20,000 to 34,605.

In the second stage, each monster could earn Lin Moyu 100 points.

200 monsters meant 20,000 points.

The examiners were no longer surprised.

"This guy has reached the second level."

"The second level monsters only have one level increase, which poses no threat to him."

"That's just wasted points; if it were not for a lack of authority, I'd raise the difficulty."

"Exactly, we should add multiple bosses for him to kill, that would be more entertaining."

A glance at Lin Moyu's 30,000+ points and then at the others showed that the gap was indeed considerable.

So far, Xia Xue was in second place.

As an elementalist, Xia Xue had good effect skills.

She was the second fastest monster clearer after Lin Moyu.

At that time, she already had over 7,000 points.

Xia Xue was followed by Feng Xiu.

This Holy Swordsman later caught up and his points also reached 6,000.

This showed that Sacred Swordsmen could also deal with group attacks.

Zuo Mei and Wang Zihao were slightly behind.

Zuo Mei carried out several attacks in succession, which were stable but not particularly efficient.

Wang Zihao chose a more direct approach and attacked the monsters head-on.

It was not yet the right time for the Frenzy skill.

Their score was not rising quickly, and by now they had just passed the 5,000 mark.

Nevertheless, they were both convinced of themselves.

Reaching over 10,000 points at the end of the first stage was no problem.

As long as the points were over 10,000.

Levels, professions and degrees, as long as all requirements were met.

Entry into Xiajing Academy was a certainty.

The Great Examination for the Summer Divine Realm was nationwide and was conducted at the provincial level.

On the same day, at the same time, the progress between provinces was almost synchronized.

By now, almost all provincial exams had entered the fifth round.

One exam tower after another appeared, distorting the room.

Whoever was able to enter them was undoubtedly a genius.

This year's examinees from the Divine Summer Realm were considered the most talented group.

In the eyes of the upper echelons of the Divine Summer Realm, these examinees were the future of the realm.

Every year, a group of strong individuals would emerge, infusing fresh blood into the Divine Summer Realm.

In the capital of the neighboring states of the Divine Summer, the famous Xiajing City.

A towering spire appeared in the sky.

Countless people in Xiajing City looked up at the sky. No matter where they were, they could see this spire clearly.

Normally this tower didn't appear; its appearance marked the day of the test of the divine summer realm.

This tower is the original testing tower.

The examination towers that hold examinations in various provincial capitals are its projections.

There are a total of three divine towers in the Divine Summer Realm.

The Examination Tower is one of them.

Another is the divine summer tower, which is located in the Xiajing Academy.

The third is the Tower of Demons, which is in the foreground all year round and is practically invisible to the public.

Suddenly, the sky darkened and the temperature dropped rapidly.

Night fell instantly, and a pitch-black, sinister aura descended from the sky and raced towards the experimental tower at astonishing speed.

"Bold!"

Deafening voices echoed through the city.

A giant virtual hand appeared in the sky and tried to block the pitch-black, gloomy aura.

"You can't stop me!"

An ominous laugh rang out from the pitch-black, gloomy aura, and black light flared up at the same time.

A huge demon skull appeared in the darkness.

The skull bore twin horns and sharp teeth that matched the descriptions in the books about demonic figures.

The horns made a piercing, hissing sound as they were pointed at the illusory giant hand with black light.

The collision between the black light and the giant hand occurred without a sound, and both disappeared silently.

At that moment, another giant eye appeared in the sky and shot golden light directly at the pitch-black, gloomy aura.

The sinister aura suddenly split in two, with one part colliding with the golden light.

The other part accelerated many times over and immediately crashed into the Trial Tower.

"You seek death!"

Once again, a giant hand appeared in the sky, clutching the demon skull tightly.

The demon skull let out a hissing giggle, "It's just my avatar, kill what you want."

"But those little guys in your experimental tower... Tsk tsk..."

With a bang, the demon skull was shattered.
