94: Chapter 94 Unified Examination (Part 5)

Zhu You curled the corners of his mouth upward, then directly transformed into a giant fire dragon and attacked the ferocious beasts on the sand dune.

"We at Tianhai University want this kid!"

Seeing Zhu You's performance, Shi Yuanlong was the first to declare his stance immediately.

Having stared at the exam venue all day without finding a single promising talent, Shi Yuanlong had grown somewhat impatient.

"Just because you say he's from Tianhai University, he becomes from Tianhai University? What if he doesn't want to?"

Du Zhengyang reached out to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses and said disdainfully.

"That's right. This time I'm on Brother Du's side. We must respect the candidate's wishes, don't you think, Old Yi?"

Ge Xingyu, the admissions director for Lancheng University, spoke up at the right moment.

A good talent just appeared and your Tianhai University starts clamoring; you really don't care about the others at all.

The one Ge Xingyu called Old Yi was Yi Xiucheng, the admissions director for Xiafu University this time.

"No rush, no rush. The Unified Examination has only just begun; it's too early to confirm spots now."

Ai Niannian had an indifferent expression, as if it had nothing to do with her; in any case, Jinling University only recruited female students.

Yi Xiucheng's fence-sitting remarks managed to quiet Shi Yuanlong and the other two down.

That's right, the Unified Examination had only just begun; discussing college affiliations now was indeed premature.

Furthermore, Yao Kangbo, the person in charge from Xiafu University, hadn't even spoken yet, so it wasn't their place to decide.

Next, the screens in the monitoring room flashed through many other students with excellent performances.

Jia Shi's expression finally eased. Based on Zhu You's recent performance and the expressions of the proctors, there was a good chance of him entering Xiafu University.

Lin Hanwen sat in a corner of the monitoring room, his gaze fixed tightly on the other small screens in the room, watching the performance of Tang Mo and his group.

Tang Mo's group carried all the hopes of Jiangkou City No. 1 High School.

Facing the beasts surrounding them layer upon layer, Tang Mo raised his hand and released a blast of Hallucinogenic Gas, causing the nearby beasts to immediately fall into illusions.

Tang Mo then signaled for Wang Kaiwen and the other two to quickly hide by his side.

Next, Venomous Touch formed a circle, protecting them.

As dozens of giant tentacles slammed down, the beasts that were in a wonderful illusion the previous second became meat patties the next.

"Killed Level 13 Gray Sand Rat, points +1."

"Killed Level 15 Gray Sand Scorpion, points +1."

"Killed Level 18 Green Sand Fox, points +2."

...

Tang Mo was responsible for controlling the movement of Venomous Touch and Hallucinogenic Gas, Wang Kaiwen and Yang Shiyu were responsible for collecting points, and Tu Xiaoxia stood guard on the side to prevent any beasts from sneaking an attack from beneath their feet.

The four had a clear division of labor, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

These beasts were low-level and lacked intelligence; although they had the instinct to sense danger, they were driven more by an innate craving for flesh and blood.

In their eyes, the giant tentacles before them and the humans inside were the most delicious food.

Even knowing the danger, they never stayed away.

This created an opportunity for Tang Mo to continue hunting for point-scoring beasts.

Every time they moved to a new location, Tang Mo would first release Hallucinogenic Gas, lure all the beasts into the attack range, and then use Venomous Touch to harvest them. Then, Wang Kaiwen and Yang Shiyu would use the scoring devices to collect those points.

By dawn, the beasts on the sand dunes had disappeared as if they had never existed.

After a night of intense fighting, the list on the Unified Examination leaderboard had changed significantly again.

First Place: Tang Mo, 878 points;

Second Place: Wen Xuefeng, 720 points;

Third Place: Zhu You, 701 points;

Fourth Place: Zhao Wenwu, 697 points;

Fifth Place: Bian Zimo, 692 points;

Sixth Place: Fang Hao, 690 points;

Eighth Place: Bai Xiangwei, 689 points;

Ninth Place: Wu Ying, 685 points;

Tenth Place: Tu Xiaoxia, 683 points;

...

Tang Mo ranked first with a solid 878 points.

Tu Xiaoxia ranked tenth with 683 points.

Wang Kaiwen and Yang Shiyu ranked 88th and 99th on the leaderboard with 588 and 578 points, respectively. At least they both made it into the top 100.

Looking at the leaderboard again, the people who were on it yesterday had all been replaced; it was unclear whether they had been eliminated.

However, these were not things for Tang Mo to worry about.

The Unified Examination lasted for three days; one day had already passed, and there were two days left until it ended.

The proctor had already stated the requirement for entering Xiafu University: kill a Level 20 bloodline-awakened beast.

Although no specific requirement for the Unified Examination score was mentioned, Tang Mo still felt that the score should at least be in the top ten.

After last night's experience, it was clear that his current score could not guarantee a top-ten spot.

Moreover, finding a Level 20 bloodline-awakened beast would take time, and he had to ensure he had enough of it.

"It seems I must find a way to accumulate enough points."

Tang Mo couldn't help but recall what the principal had said before the exam: there were four types of scoring balls, each with a color representing different points.

Gray scoring balls were worth 1 point, green scoring balls were worth 3 points, purple scoring balls were worth 5 points, and gold scoring balls were worth 10 points.

However, Tang Mo had yet to see any purple or gold scoring balls.

This was very unusual.

Just as Tang Mo was pondering, Tu Xiaoxia walked over.

"Have you noticed? Up until now, we haven't seen any purple or gold scoring balls."

Tang Mo nodded, "Do you have any thoughts on this?"

"Do you remember the Sand Rat pack we encountered when we came to familiarize ourselves with the exam venue?"

Tang Mo nodded again.

Tu Xiaoxia continued: "After observing for these past two days, I've discovered that the beasts here are clearly different from the ones back home."

"Here, no matter how low-level the beasts are, they already possess pack consciousness. And within a pack, there must be a Beast King; you should know this."

Tang Mo had been to the area north of Undead Mountain, so he naturally understood clearly that every territory would have a Beast King.

"You mean they set up beast nests in the exam venue?"

In the desert, these beasts generally used their nests as their territory.

"That's the only possibility. To get a high score, we have to find those nests."

Tang Mo glanced at Tu Xiaoxia and immediately understood; she was probably like him, aiming for Xiafu University, otherwise she wouldn't be so eager to have him find the beast nests.

However, this wasn't a bad thing for Tang Mo, as he himself also needed a lot of points.

"It's just..."

Tang Mo looked up at the endless desert,

"If we rely only on the four of us, how long will it take to find them?"

Tu Xiaoxia was also troubled; each exam area was not small, and relying solely on the four of them, they might not necessarily find them.

"Realm of Death!"

As soon as Tang Mo finished speaking, an entire row of giant skeletons appeared neatly on the sand dune, holding massive weapons, their sharp aura intimidating.
