Chapitre 48: Embarking into the realm of warfare, the true theater of battle
Lin Moyu waited a minute for the last group of monsters to reappear.
This time, the mage monsters had disappeared and were replaced by a boss level creature.
It made no difference to Lin Moyu.
The skeletal warriors charged forward and unleashed a chaotic barrage, then silence fell.
For Lin Moyu, the fourth round of the trial was over.
Now it was just a matter of waiting for the others.
After ten minutes of waiting, the fourth round of the test was finally over.
"The fourth round of the exam is over."
"120 participants took part in the fourth round of the exam and only 5 passed"
A wave of exclamations set in...
The voices of the examiners echoed through the hall and could be heard by everyone inside and outside the tower.
Only 5 of the 120 participants were left.
This indicated that these 5 people were true prodigies who were able to force their way into the top facilities.
At the same time, the placings of the five individuals were also announced.
"Now we're announcing the placings after the second round"
1. Lin Moyu, total points: 3605.
2. Zuo Mei, total points: 2470.
3. Xia Xue, 2270.
4. Wang Zihao, 2265.
5. Feng Xiu, 2200.
Lin Moyu still had a commanding lead.
As the light enveloped the five people, their status was fully restored.
Wang Zihao, who was previously weakened by the berserk, saw his weakness disappear due to the light and was able to use his berserk ability again.
"Everything is within expectations! The real showdown begins in the fifth round!" Wang Zihao grinned as he clutched his broadsword.
Xia Xue took a deep breath. "Among the top five, entering Xiajing Academy shouldn't be a problem."
Zuo Mei's expression became solemn. "Xiajing Academy, here I come."
The destination of all five people was Xiajing Academy without exception.
The examiners' voices sounded again.
"I know you all want to go to Xiajing Academy."
"But it's not easy to get into Xiajing Academy."
"Don't think that placing in the top five is a guarantee of your safety; there's still the final round of the exam. If your performance isn't outstanding enough, you'll still be eliminated."
"To be accepted into Xiajing Academy, you must let your results speak for you."
"As long as you collect 10,000 points, I guarantee that you'll be accepted."
"Now listen carefully to the rules for the fifth round of exams."
...
The five people all pricked up their ears and listened attentively.
The fifth round of the test now had its own name.
It was called the "Battlefield of Conquest".
Each of them would be sent to a special room.
Different monsters would constantly appear there.
There would be warriors, mages, archers, knights and so on.
All kinds of monsters you can imagine would appear one after the other.
And their numbers would be extremely high, over a hundred in the first group alone.
Later, improved, elite, improved elite, bosses and even BOSSes would appear.
The faster they killed, the more monsters would appear and the faster their strength would grow.
This required everyone to adjust their killing speed.
It wasn't necessarily better to kill faster.
The most important aspect was the change in points.
The changes on the battlefield of conquest can be divided into five stages, each with different points.
In the first stage, the monster level was 15, and killing a monster earned 50 points.
In the second stage, the monster level was 16 and killing a monster earned 100 points.
The number of points doubled with each higher level of monster.
In the fifth level, when the monster level reached 19, killing a monster earned 800 points.
And that was just ordinary monsters; improved monsters, elite monsters, bosses, all offered more points.
If Lin Moyu failed this round of the test, his lead would be gone.
That seemed unfair somehow.
All his efforts so far would have been in vain.
But Lin Moyu understood that the fifth round was the time when really strong individuals could really shine.
The purpose of the Grand Trial was to select geniuses who were capable of shouldering the burden for the human race.
When the countdown ended, the fifth round of the Grand Trial officially began.
The remaining five individuals were simultaneously transported to the battlefield of conquest.
And in the control room at the top of the tower, the images of the five people disappeared simultaneously.
Several inspectors gave each other disappointed looks. "Unfortunately, these regulations prevent us from watching as well"
"Exactly. The fifth round of the test is the most exciting part, but we're not allowed to watch."
"Our authority only allows us to see the changes in the points and judge accordingly."
"Ning Daren, can you see it?"
Several examiners looked at Ning Xuanfeng at the same time, their eyes filled with anticipation.
They were really excited, especially because of Lin Moyu's performance in the fifth round.
Ning Xuanfeng looked over, his voice flat. "I can't see it."
The examiners all made surprised faces. "You can't see it either?"
"Then who has the authority to see it?"
Ning Xuanfeng nodded. "In the realm, there are no more than ten people who are authorized to watch the videos of the fifth round of the great trials."
The examiners were even more astonished.
No more than ten people, what kind of bigwigs were they? They didn't even dare to think about it.
Ning Xuanfeng continued, "''Anyway, remember that you shouldn't ask about it. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll say a few more words to you."
"We understand, we won't ask any questions."
The examiners weren't stupid; they realized that things were definitely not simple.
But even if they had the courage now, they wouldn't dare to ask.
In the entire Shenxia Empire, there were no more than ten people with such authority.
It was scary enough to hear about it.
The battlefield of conquest was extremely vast, a huge plain.
The earth was pitch black and smelled of blood.
Countless scattered rocks, some of them several meters high.
This kind of environment offered plenty of scope for professionals.
Lin Moyu's nose twitched slightly. "There's a strong smell of blood here, and it's filled with a deadly aura. This place has seen unimaginable battles."
As a necromancer, Lin Moyu was particularly susceptible to the aura of death.
Whether it was the Western Sea Mine Dungeon or the previous rounds of trials, there was no aura of death.
But this place was different.
It really was shrouded in an aura of death.
A real battle for life and death had taken place here, and on a grand scale.
The blood had soaked the earth and stained it dark brown, and the smell of blood lingered for years.
"Is this how we're supposed to experience the battlefield in advance?"
Footsteps sounded, and a group
of monsters appeared in sight.
