**Chapter 1164: The Opponent is Also a Skeleton Army**

The sense of danger escalated to its peak in less than 0.1 seconds. Lin Moyu didn't have enough time to think, and his body didn't need to think either. Almost instinctively, he swung a punch backward.

Lin Moyu felt as if his fist had struck a piece of steel, and a figure was sent flying. Although he couldn't see it, he could infer from the way the flowers and grass parted to the sides.

Someone had tried to ambush him but was repelled by his preemptive strike. This was an instinct Lin Moyu had developed through countless battles. He had transformed into various professions and learned different combat styles. He was familiar with all kinds of weapons and combat routines. Although he hadn't fought personally in recent years, his combat instincts were ingrained in his body.

Now, facing an ambush, he instinctively counterattacked and repelled the enemy. Lin Moyu didn't pursue, knowing this was part of the test. His gaze penetrated the gaps in the flowers and grass, still able to see the direction of the ancient buildings, and he continued forward.

The eerie silence made the atmosphere tense. Lin Moyu's entire body tensed slightly, and his pace quickened. The flowers and grass continuously parted to make way for him, and after he passed, they returned to their original state. Even if Lin Moyu deliberately stepped on them, it had no effect.

The sense of danger returned. When it reached its peak, Lin Moyu paused and leaped lightly, jumping over ten meters high, beyond the range of the flowers and grass. The sense of danger followed him, and the one who had ambushed him also leaped up.

Lin Moyu turned to see a silver skeleton. This silver skeleton was only one meter tall, with half its body missing. It had no head and no lower body, holding a dagger glowing with green light, aiming at him. Lin Moyu had seen many skeletons, but this was the first time he had seen one like this.

With a thought, a Skeleton God Warrior appeared behind him. The Skeleton God Warrior used its body to block the opponent's dagger while striking the opponent with an axe. With a crisp sound, the headless, lower-body-less skeleton was shattered on the spot.

Lin Moyu retracted the Skeleton God Warrior and continued forward through the grass. He couldn't fly here, and he felt that leaping might be even more dangerous. "The first three tests mainly assessed adaptability."

"The next three tests assess direct combat ability."

"Now it seems to be testing actual combat skills."

Lin Moyu quickly analyzed. Since it was a test, it must have a purpose and couldn't be random. "From now on, there won't be a test every thousand kilometers. It's like I've entered a real battlefield, facing danger at any moment."

Lin Moyu was confident in his guess. He thought he was probably right. Recalling the various dungeons and secret realms he had experienced, he smiled, "It's been a long time since I've felt this kind of excitement."

The current situation made Lin Moyu excited, and his eyes filled with battle intent as he charged forward. As he advanced, ambushes came from all directions. Using his body's reactions, Lin Moyu accurately identified the direction of each ambush and easily neutralized them.

After running several hundred kilometers, the frequency of ambushes increased exponentially. Attacks often came from multiple directions simultaneously and became more bizarre. With a body at the peak of True God, Lin Moyu could completely ignore these ambushes. The attacks weren't strong, and as long as one's body reached the sixth tier of True God, they could easily handle them.

Even if Lin Moyu did nothing, the ambushers would struggle to harm him. However, Lin Moyu cooperated with the test, summoning several Skeleton God Generals to crush each ambusher. What interested Lin Moyu was that all the ambushers were half-skeletons.

From the initial flower monsters to the current half-skeletons, and the fire-breathing skulls Tang Zhen encountered, it seemed the manor's owner had a fondness for skeletons. This combat test didn't affect Lin Moyu much. He smoothly passed through the grass.

The sound of wind returned to his ears, and the world, silent for thousands of kilometers, returned to normal. The grass behind him swayed in the wind. The ambushers in the grass had all retreated. Lin Moyu had perfectly passed the combat test in the grass.

He was now only 500 kilometers away from the ancient buildings in the manor. The green grassland ahead was flat and unobstructed. It looked just like the scene when he first entered the manor. If not for the buildings guiding the way and the tall grass behind him, Lin Moyu might have thought he had taken a wrong turn. It was too similar.

With less than 1000 kilometers to go, Lin Moyu resumed running. It wouldn't take long to cover 1000 kilometers. "I wonder how the others are doing. Given the difficulty of the test, 99% of them probably won't make it."

"The death rate should be high. I wonder how many will survive."

"Even Tang Zhen got a fist-sized crystal, while I only got a small piece. It seems a bit unreasonable."

As he approached the manor, the buildings, which had remained unchanged, finally began to grow larger in his vision, indicating he was getting closer. Just as he was about to reach his destination, a bright light caught Lin Moyu's attention.

A glowing portal appeared directly in front of him. If he didn't change direction, he would run right into it. "A safe passage?"

Lin Moyu was slightly taken aback. It looked exactly like the previous safe passages. "Why is there a safe passage here?"

Confused, Lin Moyu instinctively slowed down and stopped at the entrance of the safe passage. "Safe passages always appear with tests. Its appearance means there will be another test."

"The final test."

Based on his experience and guesswork, Lin Moyu concluded. "Adaptability, direct combat ability, and actual combat skills. What will the final test be?"

"The difficulty should be high and very dangerous. Otherwise, the safe passage wouldn't appear here."

"This is a warning: if you don't want to die, give up now."

Lin Moyu muttered to himself and walked past the safe passage. Having come this far, there was no way he would give up now. As he passed the safe passage, it disappeared like a bubble.

Lin Moyu laughed, "No chance for regrets, huh?"

The safe passage was the last chance to give up and exit safely. Since Lin Moyu had given it up, the safe passage disappeared, taking away his chance to regret. After the safe passage vanished, the sound of synchronized footsteps suddenly echoed ahead.

Lin Moyu's pupils contracted sharply. He saw an army!
