Chapter 40: Teleporting to the Provincial Capital, The Big Exam Begins
Students returned one by one, with the principals experiencing wins and losses.
So far, no one had a clear advantage.
The returning students were mostly between levels 10 and 13.
Not even one level 14 student had appeared.
"Why haven't Xia Xue, Lin Moyu, and Gao Yang returned yet?"
As it grew darker, Principal Lu became anxious.
His expression turned serious.
By all accounts, those three should have returned by now.
"Could something have happened?"
Finally, just before nightfall, Principal Lu saw three figures.
"They're here, they're finally back!"
Principal Lu's face immediately broke into a smile.
The result wasn't important; as long as they returned safely, that was enough.
Detection spells flew out like gentle breezes.
[Gao Yang, Level 12, Sword and Shield Knight]
[Xia Xue, Level 15, Elemental Mage]
The principals' faces showed surprise.
She really did it; Xia Xue really reached level 15.
This gave her at least an 80% chance of entering Summer Capital University.
No, as long as she performed well in the exam, she was almost certain to get in.
Finally, Lin Moyu.
The principals were all second-transition professionals above level 40, far surpassing Lin Moyu's level.
So the blocking badge was ineffective against them.
[Lin Moyu, Level 16, Necromancer]
The principals drew in sharp breaths.
Lin Moyu had really reached level 16, even one level higher than Xia Xue.
This speed was simply too fast.
"They must have been running dungeons."
"The sword and shield in Gao Yang's hands, and the staff Xia Xue is holding, are all Goblin King weapons."
"But the weapon drop rate is very low. It's not easy to collect all the corresponding weapons and equipment."
"Maybe they were just lucky."
When Lin Moyu and the others reached the city wall, Principal Lu said, "After you enter the city, wait on the bus. When everyone's here, we'll return to school together."
All three heard Principal Lu's words, but only Gao Yang responded loudly, "Yes, Principal!"
Principal Lu chuckled; he was in a good mood.
He had won this return competition among the principals.
And this time, Lin Moyu and Xia Xue might both enter Summer Capital University, which would be very honorable for West Sea City and First High School.
As the principal, he felt proud.
After all the students returned, Principal Lu also got on the bus.
"Actually, the students' safe return is the greatest comfort for a teacher."
"Everyone, rest well tonight. Tomorrow morning, gather at the school, and we'll head to the exam site."
The exam site wasn't at the school, nor in West Sea City.
It was in the provincial capital, Jianghai City.
West Sea City and Jianghai City differed by just one character,
West Sea City was just an unremarkable medium-sized city in Jiangning Province.
Jianghai City was the provincial capital.
A true large city.
The big exam was held in Jianghai City every year.
Examiners from the Divine Summer Empire would conduct the unified exam.
That night, Lin Moyu continued his meditation.
He followed his own thoughts and didn't particularly focus on the big exam.
He was confident he would enter Summer Capital University.
If there was a chance, he would also try for the provincial top scholar position.
Previously, he didn't have much pursuit of this.
He just wanted to simply enter Summer Capital University.
But after hearing what Ning Yiyi and Xia Xue said, he became a bit interested in the Creation God Academy.
Early the next morning, Lin Moyu woke up on time.
His spirit power was fully recovered, and he was in peak condition.
A full 100 skeleton warriors waited quietly in his summoning space, ready to be summoned at any time.
Each Bronze-rank skeleton warrior, after the 20-fold amplification, had attributes as high as 5000.
Along with his Soul Fire and Corpse Explosion skills,
Lin Moyu felt confident and at ease.
Arriving at the school playground, many classmates were already there.
Gao Yang waved vigorously at Lin Moyu: "Boss Lin!"
Lin Moyu walked over and nodded slightly to Gao Yang, which counted as a greeting.
Although Lin Moyu was always first, his personality made him unpopular among classmates.
Moreover, his Necromancer career made some classmates afraid of him.
A moment later, Xia Xue arrived.
Xia Xue was much more popular than Lin Moyu, with classmates gathering around her.
However, contrary to her usual behavior, Xia Xue came to Lin Moyu's side, "Are you confident?"
Lin Moyu nodded slightly in response.
Xia Xue smiled brightly, "Then I'll see you at Summer Capital University."
"Okay," Lin Moyu said softly.
After everyone arrived, Principal Lu came over, "Here are the teleportation stones for the exam site, one for each person."
"In a moment, you can either crush the teleportation stone or activate it with spirit power."
"The teleportation stone will take you to the exam site."
"Let me emphasize one last time, during the exam process, your first priority is to ensure your own safety."
"Safety first."
"Alright, you can start teleporting now."
The students activated their teleportation stones one by one, disappearing in flashes of light.
After everyone left, Principal Lu also activated his teleportation stone to go to the exam site in Jianghai City.
The exam site was extremely spacious, like a giant plaza.
Examinees from over a dozen cities, large and small, in Jiangning Province teleported in successively.
From over a dozen cities, there were thousands of people taking this exam.
The teleportation lights never stopped.
The examinees from West Sea City were all placed in the same area.
After a full half hour, the teleportation lights finally stopped.
Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, a tall tower descended from the sky.
"The Trial Tower is open!"
A majestic voice resounded throughout the plaza.
The doors of the tower's first floor slowly opened with a rumbling sound.
"All examinees, please listen carefully to the exam rules."
"No speaking, no questions. Violators will be immediately disqualified from the exam."
