Chapter 170: How Else Would He Be Able To Become The Top Scorer?
Chapter 170: How Else Would He Be Able To Become The Top Scorer?
Jiang Taotao shouted repeatedly.
Shield in left hand, sword in right hand, she surged with extraordinary momentum.
She unleashed her skills in a coherent manner and gave a perfect performance, without any unnecessary movement.
Three Abyssal Hounds simulated by the Shenxia Tower attacked her, but she either blocked or evaded them one by one.
In this way, the pressure on the team's Healer was much lower.
Ning Yiyi silently appeared behind an Abyssal Hound, and then stabbed with her dagger and unleashed her skill.
Skill: Fatal Blow!
There was a muffled bang.
The Abyssal Hound died directly.
Ning Yiyi stabbed with her dagger again.
Skill: Internal Blast!
The sound of an explosion came from inside the Abyssal Hound that was stabbed next, and it was blown away.
Ning Yiyi took out two demonic hounds in a row, in a swift and practiced manner
"Dispatch!"
Jiang Taotao growled and killed the last Abyssal Hound.
She was panting slightly, her chest rising and falling.
At this point, they have already covered half of the channel's length.
At the same time, the number of Abyssal Hounds has increased, from one at the beginning to three appearing at the same time like just now.
If things continue like this, the number of Abyssal Hounds that will appear at the same time will increase to four, five, or even more.
However, Jiang Taotao doesn't intend to ask Lin Moyu for help.
She wants to see where her limits lie.
It is common to face multiple monsters at the same time when raiding dungeons.
This is especially true in high-level dungeons.
If she can't even handle this much, she'll be bringing shame to the Knight class.
Jiang Taotao told herself in her heart: if I want to enter a top institute, I can't give up that easily.
After cheering themselves up, the team continued to move forward.
Sure enough, this time four demonic hounds appeared at the same time.
Jiang Taotao entered combat once again.
Ning Yiyi entered stealth and waited for an opportunity to strike.
Miao Yu carefully observed the battle, ready to cast her Heal skill at a moment's notice.
Duan Gao was idle.
As a Prophet, after applying status buffs, there is basically nothing more for him to do.
Except for Lin Moyu, he is the most idle member in the team.
At this point, a large number of teams have already been eliminated in the preselection.
The name of a large number of teams turned gray and then disappeared from the screen of light.
The teams on the screen of light continuously changed positions.
Lin Moyu's team isn't fast, but it's steady, keeping its position in the middle of the ranking.
Bai Yiyuan also watched the preselection.
"What is Young Lin doing? Why is he so slow?"
"Others have already scored 40 points. Why does Young Lin's team only have 23 points? What's going on?"
"Old Meng, can't you just divulge it?"
Meng Anwen refused firmly, "I can't."
"Moreover, in this preselection, speed doesn't matter. What matters is to pass in the end."
"Or do you perhaps lack confidence in Young Lin?"
Bai Yiyuan laughed out loud and said, "What a joke. Young Lin has the makings of a champion. A mere preselection won't stomp him."
"Then what is there to worry about?" Meng Anwen, as the wielder of the Shenxia Tower, knows everything that is happening in the tower.
He naturally knows that Lin Moyu hasn't lifted a finger so far.
Otherwise, his team would have already passed the preselection.
Bai Yiyuan watched more and more teams being eliminated, "Isn't the elimination rate you set too high?"
Meng Anwen said lightly, "It isn't. Those eliminated are basically all teams with an average level below 23. Even if they weren't eliminated here, they would still be the first to be eliminated in the competition."
"On the other hand, the teamwork of some of the teams is unsatisfactory. It's useless to keep them."
"The goal of the preselection is to select teams that are excellent in all aspects. Moreover, the difficulty level I set isn't high. Even if the team's average level is low, as long as they work well together, they should be able to pass."
Bai Yiyuan sighed helplessly, "Okay, that's enough. You win."
...
Finally, five Abyssal Hounds appeared at the same time.
Jiang Taotao shouted, "Control!"
Miao Yu and Duan Gao took action at the same time.
Elder and Prophet have a skill in common, namely Wind Bind.
The two locked on an Abyssal Hound each and restrained them.
However, since their level is low, Wind Bind will last for a short time, only 30 seconds.
But for Jiang Taotao and Ning Yiyi, 30 seconds is enough.
Jiang Taotao quickly attracted the remaining three Abyssal Hounds and created opportunities for Ning Yiyi to exploit.
The team displayed great teamwork and quickly eliminated the five Abyssal Hounds.
With the addition of Miao Yu and Duan Gao, it was easier to deal with five Abyssal Hounds than before, when she was dealing with four Abyssal Hounds.
Jiang Taotao roughly learned her limit.
Without relying on others, dealing with four Abyssal Hounds at the same time is her limit.
Since Miao Yu and Duan Gao started participating in the battle, the team's speed was significantly accelerated.
There was really nothing for Lin Moyu to do.
Lin Moyu, immersed himself in the sensation of standing idly by, just followed behind the team.
The rank of Lin Moyu's team started to rise, gradually gaining ground on the teams in the lead.
Finally, they crossed rank 1,000 in their grouping.
At this point, most of the 30,000-plus teams in their grouping have already been eliminated.
Less than 10,000 remained.
Six... seven... eight Abyssal Hounds appeared at the same time.
The levels of Jiang Taotao and company were too low. As the pressure they faced mounted, they had to fight harder and harder.
Miao Yu, who needs to use both control and healing skills, was panting lightly. She was under considerable pressure.
Duan Gao wasn't much better off.
An hour has already passed since the preselection started. As such, everyone's status buffs have begun to disappear and needed to be reapplied.
Duan Gao drank a bottle of Spirit Potion and reapplied status buffs on everyone.
After he was done, Duan Gao sat down on the ground and said with a helpless expression, "I'm out of spirit force."
Miao Yu said in a quiet voice, "I still have 300 left."
Without spirit force, you can't unleash skills.
Ning Yiyi said in a faint voice, "I'm nearly out as well."
Although Assassin skills have a low consumption when it comes to spirit force.
But Ning Yiyi has been maintaining the stealth state in order to launch surprise attacks, and so her spirit force was rapidly depleting.
Her spirit attribute is not as high as that of Mage-type classes to begin with. It isn't easy for her to hold on until now.
Jiang Taotao was also panting, saying, "Why don't we take a break?"
Ning Yiyi shook her head and said, "Let's leave the rest to Moyu. Anyway, we have fought enough and have tested our limits."
Duan Gao raised his hands and said, "I agree. I raise both hands and feet."
Miao Yu nodded and said, "That's about enough."
Jiang Taotao couldn't help but look at Lin Moyu and say, "It's up to you, Junior Lin."
Lin Moyu waved his hand and said, "Sure thing."
As he spoke, three Skeletal Warriors appeared in front of him and ran forward along with clicking sounds.
Eight Abyssal Hounds appeared ahead.
The Skeletal Warriors rushed forward, brandished their blades, and cut down an Abyssal Hound each.
The four attributes of the level 27 Skeletal Warriors, with the 30-fold attribute amplification, have reached 22,500.
Faced with these weakened versions of Abyssal Hounds, they only needed a single strike to kill them.
They didn't even need to use their skill.
In just a second, the eight Abyssal Hounds have been cut down.
Jiang Taotao's group of three looked at each other.
They had to prepare different tactics and work really hard.
But in front of Lin Moyu's Skeletal Warriors, the Abyssal Hounds didn't last a single strike.
This makes them feel like their tactics are a joke.
If you compare your lot to others, you will only torture yourself.
Ning Yiyi spoke comfortingly, "Don't feel bad. Moyu's skeletons have always been very strong. They can even kill level 40 high-level Demons."
Ning Yiyi's comfort was counterproductive and made the three feel even worse.
Duan Gao cried out, "Let me wallow in my sorrows."
With Lin Moyu taking the lead, the team's progress accelerated once again, and their score began to rise rapidly.
At this point, the score of the top few teams in their grouping no longer changed.
They reached a total of 200 points, which means they killed 200 Abyssal Hounds.
As for why their score remained unchanged, many people have guessed it.
They probably reached the final stage of the assessment -- the boss battle.
Now it's up to who can secure the top spot.
But it's not easy to deal with the boss.
What's assessed is not only the team's teamwork, but also the team's overall combat power.
Each team that reached the boss pulled out all the stops to defeat it.
At this time, Lin Moyu and company finally arrived in front of the boss.
"It's indeed a Dog Demon."
With the wings and wolf dog appearance, it looks exactly the same as the Dog Demons Lin Moyu killed before.
As for its attributes, Lin Moyu is too lazy to check them. There is no need.
The Dog Demon stood at the end of the channel, accompanied by nine demonic hounds, waiting for Lin Moyu and company to arrive.
Jiang Taotao became tense and asked, "Is this an Abyssal Demon?"
Ning Yiyi said, "This is called Abyss Dog Demon. However, it's much weaker than a real Abyssal Dog Demon."
Miao Yu asked in a low voice, "Can Junior Lin defeat it?"
Ning Yiyi smiled and said, "He has killed many Dog Demons so far."
The others showed a shade of shock in their eyes.
Jiang Taotao believes Ning Yiyi's words, "I didn't expect Junior Lin to be that powerful."
At this point, the three Skeletal Warriors had already reached the boss.
The nine Abyssal Hounds attacked the Skeletal Warriors and bit their bones.
The Skeletal Warriors unleashed their skill. There was a flash of red light, and three Abyssal Hounds died.
Skill: Corpse Explosion!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After three explosions rose in a row, the Dog Demon was sprawled on the ground, dead.
"You passed the assessment!"
A majestic voice sounded, and the team was sent outside.
Lin Moyu's team, which was ranked in the hundreds, suddenly shot straight to the top, as if riding a rocket.
In the end, they reached 300 points.
Lin Moyu's team became quite eye-catching.
The remaining teams, even if they pass, can only be ranked behind Lin Moyu's team.
"That's quite the upset."
"How did they do it? How did they take down the boss so quickly?"
"Lin Moyu's team, interesting. The name seems familiar."
"Did you forget? This year's imperial top scorer was called Lin Moyu."
"Seriously? Wasn't the great examination held just recently? How did he get into the level 20 grouping?"
"His leveling speed is probably very fast. Otherwise, how else would he be able to become the top scorer?"
