99: Chapter 99 The Final Test
Next came the Poison Burst Spider.
Following a series of consecutive explosions, the spiderweb-like blood leech was blown to smithereens, scattering across the ground.
The intense pain also jolted Zhao Wenwu awake from the illusion.
Tang Mo was greatly shocked. "He didn't die from that?!"
The explosion damage of a poison spirit doll already reached four times the damage of Tang Mo's own poison.
Tang Mo's own poison damage had already reached eighty to ninety thousand per second; even without the boost from the Highly Toxic Domain, the explosion damage of a single poison spirit doll had already reached a terrifying three hundred thousand plus.
Plus, the damage from the Poison Burst Spider still hadn't managed to instantly kill Zhao Wenwu.
"Could it be that their attributes also stacked after the few of them merged?"
On the sand dune, the booming explosions continued ceaselessly; after a poison spirit doll exploded, another would automatically generate, continuing to launch attacks at Zhao Wenwu.
In reality, Tang Mo had only guessed half of it. The reason the merged Zhao Wenwu could withstand such high damage was mainly because of that bizarre blood leech.
A few days ago, Zhao Hongfei and the others had been hidden away by means employed by Zhang Xinyuan. In order to avoid investigation by the Heavenly Sword Bureau, they had forced themselves to hide in a cave for four or five days.
Finally, a mysterious person suddenly appeared before them.
That person claimed to be a protector of the Beast God Society, here to inspect the results of this operation.
When he learned that the operation had completely failed, in a fit of rage, he directly used a secret technique, the blood leech Technique, to fuse Zhao Hongfei and the others together.
He also created a new identity for them, so they could infiltrate the exam venue and prepare for the next step of the operation.
Not only were their attributes stacked, but they also possessed the bizarre attack method of the blood leech.
That blood leech not only had a bizarre attack method, but it also possessed a passive ability to reduce damage; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a holy artifact.
Most of the damage dealt by Tang Mo had been reduced by this blood leech.
However, that didn't matter anymore. Since one shot couldn't kill him, then he would just do it again, and it would also be a good opportunity for Tang Mo to test the power of his other skills.
"Poison God Spear!"
After a short chant, the sky over the entire area instantly turned a deep, inky green.
Subsequently, a red-tasseled spear nearly a hundred meters wide suddenly thrust out from the clouds, flying toward Zhao Wenwu below with an unstoppable, sharp momentum.
The immense pressure directly flattened the entire sand dune.
Under this immense pressure, Zhao Wenwu was completely unable to move, and even the movements of the blood leech became incredibly sluggish; it was unlikely it could ambush Tang Mo now.
Boom~!
The Poison God Spear carved a straight line through the air and slammed fiercely into Zhao Wenwu's body.
Subsequently, a deep pit about a hundred zhang long and about a hundred zhang deep appeared on the sand dune once more.
Zhao Wenwu's figure disappeared, replaced by the corpses of Zhao Hongfei, Zhang Bin, and the others, along with a puddle of something unidentifiable beside them that was wriggling.
Tang Mo was just about to take it out to observe it, but unexpectedly, it burrowed into the sand and escaped.
Tang Mo had no choice but to take the scoring devices from Zhao Hongfei and the others, and then he took Zhao Wenwu's points.
In an instant, Tang Mo's score reached over 8,000, making him the absolute first place in the exam venue.
Looking up at the drone in the sky, Tang Mo made a gesture, pointed at the corpses of Zhao Hongfei and the others in the pit, and then left.
The monitoring room should have seen very clearly what happened here, and since Zhao Hongfei, Zhang Bin, and the others were all on the wanted list, there was no reason for the invigilators not to recognize them.
He would just leave the aftermath for them to handle.
Tang Mo still had to go find a bloodline-awakened beast; his assessment for Xiafu University wasn't finished yet.
Zhao Wenwu's name disappeared from the scoring devices, and Tang Mo's score shot up to over 8,000 in one go, stunning all the candidates.
Seeing the dot representing Tang Mo on the scoring device begin to move, they were even more terrified, breaking out in cold sweat, fearing they would be chosen by Tang Mo and become the next unlucky victim.
Finally, after confirming that Tang Mo was not heading toward them, their hanging hearts were finally put at ease.
Even Zhu You couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, these points were related to the future of every candidate; no one wanted them to be taken away.
This first-place Tang Mo had dealt with the second-place Zhao Wenwu in just a few short minutes; his strength was likely far superior to theirs.
If they really ran into him, they would probably have to voluntarily give up the exam.
Tu Xiaoxia and the others were also constantly monitoring the situation on Tang Mo's side, and when they saw Zhao Wenwu's name disappear from the leaderboard, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But seeing the direction Tang Mo was walking, Tu Xiaoxia instantly understood,
"He is going to hunt a bloodline-awakened beast?!"
Yang Shiyu said in surprise, "No way, Tang Mo actually has this intention? That's a level 20 bloodline-awakened beast!"
Wang Kaiwen: "Duh, he is my Brother Tang!"
Quite a few other candidates also guessed Tang Mo's purpose based on the direction he was traveling.
Wen Xuefeng looked surprised, "It's already night now; the beasts outside the exam venue will only be stronger. Isn't it too dangerous to go out of the exam venue alone?"
Meanwhile, Tang Mo was riding on the shoulder of a Highly Poisonous Skeleton, moving forward at high speed.
Alone? That didn't exist.
The sky quickly turned dark.
Those beasts that hid underground during the day crawled back out.
Candidates in various exam venues had to continue their defensive counterattacks.
With last night's experience, dealing with these beasts was no longer a problem.
Tang Mo had even less to worry about; the Highly Poisonous Skeleton was directly clearing the path ahead, and there were simply no beasts that could hurt him.
The Highly Poisonous Skeleton, with over 60,000 agility, was faster than a taxi by several blocks; as it ran straight ahead, it kicked up a cloud of dust.
Before long, Tang Mo arrived outside the exam venue.
After glancing at the scoring device and confirming no one was around, Tang Mo simply activated the Corrosive Poison Barrier and accelerated forward.
This entire ground was full of damage buffs; how could he ignore them?
After traveling for several more tens of miles, Tang Mo finally saw the markers left by the invigilators.
Before the markers was a massive basin, which looked like an ancient coliseum inside; it was surrounded by sand walls, with only one entrance left for people to enter.
Tang Mo put away the Corrosive Poison Barrier and walked straight to the entrance.
The invigilator in charge of registration at the entrance was stunned after seeing so many giant skeletons.
Especially after seeing the attributes of these Highly Poisonous Skeletons, he was so shocked he couldn't speak.
He hurriedly finished the registration and let Tang Mo enter the assessment arena.
After entering, the assessment staff would randomly release a bloodline-awakened beast for a battle.
One had to kill the beast to pass the assessment.
Originally, beasts only had a chance to awaken their bloodlines after level 40, but there were exceptions, such as artificially inducing them to awaken.
The beasts in this assessment arena were all like this.
After entering the assessment arena, Tang Mo heard the prompt from the assessment staff,
"A level 20 Sand-Ferocious Giant Lizard has been randomly selected for you. Please confirm if you wish to begin the assessment."
"Confirm."
"Understood. The Sand-Ferocious Giant Lizard will enter the arena in three seconds."
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
As the final count fell, a gap suddenly split open in the towering sand wall, and a massive lizard covered in scales crawled out from it.
