Chapter 38: If Possible, Become the Provincial Top Scorer

Leaving the dungeon, Xia Xue immediately used the primary cooldown amulet. Just a dozen seconds later, the two entered the Nightmare-level West Sea Mine dungeon again.

The second time they entered, Xia Xue was like a different person. Following Lin Moyu, she was in an excited state the whole time. The excitement on her face seemed strange to Lin Moyu. Was it necessary to be so excited? It was just a primary dungeon, pulling and blowing up mobs. He caught the strange look in her eyes.

Xia Xue's temper flared, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beauty before?"

Lin Moyu had seen many, for several years. Admittedly, she was indeed beautiful. Comparing Xia Xue to Ning Yiyi, each had her own merits, hard to distinguish. One was petite and cute, the other tall and proud. Each had their uniqueness. However, Lin Moyu didn't feel anything for them. Ning Yiyi was his friend, and Xia Xue was his classmate.

Ten minutes later, the formidable Nightmare-level BOSS, the Goblin King, fell before Lin Moyu again. That unwilling look, the frustrated death. Lin Moyu said softly, "Four more times."

The two cleared the dungeon four times in less than an hour. Xia Xue used up all the charges on her amulet. The amulet became dim and indistinguishable from an ordinary stone. Only with careful inspection could one faintly see some runes inside.

Xia Xue put away the cooldown amulet, "The amulet needs to be recharged." The cooldown amulet was not a one-time item. After the charges were used up, it needed to be recharged. However, according to Xia Xue, the recharging process was very complicated and required a high-level alchemist to complete. How high-level, she didn't know.

After clearing the dungeon four times, Xia Xue had reached level 14, with 20% experience. After two more clears, she would definitely reach level 15. Lin Moyu was still at level 15, with 85% experience. After level 15, clearing a dungeon as a duo only increased experience by 26%. The efficiency was indeed several times slower.

There was still a day and a half until the major exam, enough time for them to clear the dungeon twice more.

Xia Xue said excitedly, "If I can reach level 15 before the exam, I'll have a ninety-nine percent chance of getting into Xi Jing Academy."

"Lin Dumbass, are you about to level up too?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Soon."

Xia Xue no longer compared herself to Lin Moyu, "When you're level 16 and I'm level 15, if two of us from West Sea City can get into Xi Jing Academy this year, I bet Principal Lu will wake up laughing in his dreams."

For high school principals, having students get into Xi Jing Academy is a great honor. How difficult it is to enter Xi Jing Academy is well known. Only the most talented can get in. And only by entering Xi Jing Academy can one be called a top talent. Xi Jing Academy enrolls only 1,000 students each year, the 1,000 from the entire Divine Xia Empire. Moreover, many of these spots are occupied by large families and clans from big cities. It's hard for people from smaller cities to compete with these geniuses. Last year, Lin Moyan got into Xi Jing Academy, and Lu Yun celebrated for several days. Years ago, Su Qianxing entered Xi Jing Academy, achieving the name of a genius, and Lu Yun still talks about it to this day. In short, getting into Xi Jing Academy is an unparalleled honor.

The two found a place to sit down. With the cooldown amulet used up, they could only wait for the dungeon cooldown to end.

Xia Xue said, "Lin Dumbass, why don't you try to aim for the top scorer?"

Lin Moyu turned his head, "Provincial top scorer?"

"Yeah," Xia Xue said, "If you can become the provincial top scorer, you can get a lot of points. In Xi Jing Academy, points are very useful."

"The most crucial thing is that you have the opportunity to join the Creation Divine College."

Lin Moyu thought of what Ning Yiyi had mentioned, that points were more valuable than gold coins in Xi Jing Academy, and she also mentioned the Creation Divine College. "Do you know about the Creation Divine College?"

Lin Moyu hoped to get some information about the Creation Divine College from Xia Xue. Ning Yiyi had only mentioned it briefly and didn't go into detail, saying that he would naturally understand once he got to Xi Jing Academy.

Xia Xue curled her legs, "I'm not very clear about the specifics, I just heard my dad mention it."

"The Creation Divine College should be the most powerful college in our Divine Xia Empire."

"Xi Jing Academy recruits all the elite talents, so the ones in the Creation Divine College are the crème de la crème among the elites."

"Dad said that it's very difficult to get into the Creation Divine College, and he thinks it's highly unlikely for me."

"But I think you have a chance, you should give it a try."

"I heard that Senior Su Qianxing also entered the Creation Divine College; he's the only one from our West Sea City."

Xia Xue looked at Lin Moyu with bright eyes, genuinely believing he had a chance. Lin Moyu had taken her through nightmare dungeons in an unprecedented way, completely refreshing her understanding. She could no longer compare Lin Moyu's profession with what she had learned.

"If there's a chance, I'll give it a try."

Lin Moyu said softly. He definitely wanted to go to Xi Jing Academy; his sister Lin Moyan was there. If there was a chance, he also wanted to try for the Creation Divine College.

Suddenly, Xia Xue's eyes lit up, pointing to the entrance of the dungeon, "Isn't that Gao Yang?"

It was indeed Gao Yang; he was at the dungeon entrance, seemingly looking for a team.

Xia Xue threw a detection spell at him and giggled, "Who would have thought this big guy is already level 11. It's just a pity he's a knight; it's hard to find a team."

Clearing dungeons requires knights, and knights of a certain level at that. A level 11 knight couldn't handle the monsters in the dungeon. Even for ordinary-level dungeons, at least a level 13 knight was needed.

Sure enough, after looking around for a while, Gao Yang couldn't find a team and looked disappointed.

Lin Moyu spoke up, "Take him with us."

Xia Xue giggled, "I don't mind."
