Chapter 41: The First Barrier of the Examination, Instant Kill!

"If we can't ask questions, what if we don't understand?" a few students whispered.

Suddenly, the Trial Tower shot out several beams of light that landed on these students. They immediately disappeared.

Then the majestic voice said, "Violating the rules, disqualified from the grand examination."

Whoosh! The expressions of thousands of candidates changed drastically, and they all covered their mouths. The rules were so strict that even a barely audible whisper was not allowed. At this moment, the whole scene was exceptionally quiet, so quiet that a needle could be heard, and even breathing became cautious. After so many years of preparation, it would be too worthwhile to be eliminated at the last moment.

Lin Moyu remembered that Lu Yun had repeatedly told them before that during the grand examination, they must follow the rules. The rules of the grand examination were very strict and absolutely not allowed to be violated, not even a little bit. He could naturally do so, and he looked towards Gao Yang, worried that this guy might not be able to do it; not letting him speak would probably be more torturous than killing him.

Sure enough, Gao Yang was forcefully covering his mouth, afraid that he couldn't control his own mouth.

"This guy has some self-awareness," Lin Moyu thought to himself with a slight smile and no longer worried about Gao Yang.

The majestic voice appeared again.

"The Trial Tower arranges different examination scenarios for different professions."

"Support professions will have non-combat scenarios."

"Combat-oriented professions will be arranged in combat-oriented scenarios."

"After passing the basic examination, each profession will have the right to choose the difficulty level."

"Different difficulties and scores will earn different points."

"Points are your examination results and will also be the points you can bring to higher education institutions."

"In higher education institutions, points are more valuable than gold coins."

"Lastly, let's talk about the examination rules. You can use the equipment you carry with you normally."

"Besides this, no other props can be used; if discovered, you will be disqualified from the examination."

"After entering the Trial Tower, your storage space will be sealed."

The majestic voice explained the examination rules in detail. As long as one has normal intelligence, there is generally no misunderstanding. The few who whispered at the beginning were really asking for it.

"Now, all candidates, line up to enter the tower."

Everyone lined up and entered the Trial Tower in an orderly manner. The order was very good, and everyone followed the rules. Even those who were usually little masters at home dared not cause trouble. The grand examination is the most important exam of the year in the Divine Xia Empire, not only conducted in Jiangning Province but also synchronized across all major provinces in the country. The number of participants on this day would exceed one hundred thousand, and the imperial high-ups would be watching this exam; anyone who caused trouble during the exam would be seeking death.

Wang Zihao was also in the crowd. As the young president of the Dynasty Guild, he was usually arrogant and overbearing, so when would he ever line up honestly. But today, he dared not cause any trouble.

Lin Moyu followed the queue into the tower. Before setting off, he had already removed the shielding badge. When entering the tower, a beam of light shone on him, and then he was teleported to an independent space. This was just as he had guessed; the Trial Tower was like a dungeon, and those who entered were sent to different spaces.

At the top of the Trial Tower stood several middle-aged men with solemn expressions and imposing presences. Each wore the attire of a support, warrior, or mage, representing all professions, none below level 70. They were the examiners for this grand examination in Jiangning Province.

Lin Moyu, level 16, Necromancer? An image of Lin Moyu appeared before them.

"This is the new profession reported by the First Middle School of Xihai City."

"It's been a long time since we've seen a new profession; the last new profession appeared more than 30 years ago."

"Yes, more than 30 years ago, a new profession called the Elf Messenger appeared, a control-oriented combat profession, designated as rare."

"Necromancer, according to the materials reported by the First Middle School, should be a summoning mage."

"Let's see how strong this new profession is; I hope it doesn't disappoint us."

"It shouldn't be bad; at least it won't be weaker than rare professions, otherwise, it couldn't have reached level 16."

"Let's handle it according to the rules for rare-level mages first and keep records."

After discussing, they determined the method for Lin Moyu's examination.

A monster appeared before Lin Moyu. This monster had a wolf's head but wore a robe and held a staff; it was a mage monster. However, its strength was unknown. Between Lin Moyu and this mage monster was a light curtain that the detection spell could not penetrate, so Lin Moyu couldn't get information about this mage monster for now.

"Examination task: Kill the Wolf Orc Mage." No further information was given, and a countdown appeared on the light curtain.

Lin Moyu was ready. A skeleton warrior appeared beside him.

3... 2... 1...

The moment the light curtain disappeared, the skeleton warrior charged towards the Wolf Orc Mage, but Lin Moyu's Soul Flame was even faster, landing on the Wolf Orc Mage's head almost simultaneously with the disappearance of the light curtain.

The Wolf Orc Mage let out a scream and fell to the ground.

"Dead?" Lin Moyu was speechless; this strength was too low.

At this moment, on the top floor of the tower, the examiners all showed shocked expressions.

"What kind of skill is this?"

"Instant kill, how could it be an instant kill?"

"Is there a problem with the data? Was it set incorrectly?"

"The settings are correct, based on rare-level professionals, the monster is two levels higher than the professional."

Monsters of different levels and combat professions face different monsters. Rare professionals face monsters that are two levels higher than themselves, high-level professionals face monsters that are one level higher, and other professionals face monsters of the same level. Mages face mage monsters, warriors face warrior monsters, and the types are the same. Although they can all win, such an instant kill as Lin Moyu's is unique.
