The two sides fought fiercely, and the ranking rose rapidly

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes.

The end of the martial arts exam was drawing nearer.

Everyone inside and outside the arena grew tense.

At this stage,

The rankings were almost everyone's college entrance examination results.

The only variable was the top twenty.

These individuals were all top-tier professions and teams in the novice stage.

They would reserve blue and red potions.

So that in the final stage, they could break into the core area and claim the top spot!

At this moment, in Jiangcheng, at the Riverside Plaza in the south of the city.

The written exam had already ended at five in the afternoon.

Many examinees were watching the live broadcast here at the plaza.

Among them were several of Lin Xuan's classmates, who had been continuously monitoring his ranking.

“Look, Lin Xuan's ranking has dropped to twenty-first.”

“Oh no, his points haven't increased for a long time. Could he be injured?”

While some people here were worried,

In the south of the city, Lin Xuan's cousin and older cousin also noticed something amiss.

Upon seeing this situation, the two siblings felt a bad premonition.

The woman beside them, whose face was covered with gauze, asked with a smile,

“How is it? Is Lin Xuan's score still stable? Is he about to enter the top ten?”

Hearing her mother's question, Xu Yunyun bit her lip.

Just as she was about to say something, Xu Shan waved her off.

“Mom, the competition is quite intense this year. Lin Xuan is playing it safe and is resting right now.”

“That's good then. Xu Shan, you should learn more from your cousin. Be a bit more steady in your temperament. Don't always go adventuring just because your profession has high defense.”

While people outside who knew Lin Xuan were worried about him,

Inside the examination hall, many also noticed the anomaly in Lin Xuan's points.

In Geland Forest, Lu Qinghan's team.

Jiangcheng had a total of three hidden professions awakened this year.

Her team gathered two of these professionals.

It could be said that they were a strong contender for the top scholar's team.

At this moment, she was also in the most central area, challenging the Guardian Boss!

A level 20 mutated red-haired Minotaur, a giant Stone Bull Demon!

“Qinghan, that kid Lin Xuan hasn't had any movement in his points for half an hour. Could he be injured?”

“Don't look at the rankings, Hong Ying. Come and take turns tanking!”

At the Frost Giant Ruins, Sword Cultivator Chen Yao's team.

With their excellent professional synergy, their points were currently stable at fourth, fifth, and sixth place.

Their points were even not far off from Lu Qinghan's team, which had two hidden and one rare profession.

However, as they delved deeper into the core area,

They found that there wasn't a single monster around.

“That's strange, where are the monsters?” a dual-ponytail professional wearing a skirt in the team asked.

“Could they have been all killed?” A refined young man with glasses next to her also wondered.

“No, there are no traces of battle here.” Chen Yao frowned, looking around.

“We're not far from the very center. Let's speed up and we'll know.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the three slowly advanced.

However, just after rounding a dilapidated house,

The three instantly froze in place.

In front of them, a vast, dense swarm of Skeleton Soldierss had gathered, so numerous that the sky seemed to turn black!

In the Instance Dungeon Hall,

At the proctor's office by the central crystal.

As the number one on the novice list, Lin Xuan was naturally assigned a separate scoring group.

At this moment, their vision was completely black.

Many proctoring teachers were filled with shock.

“This kid is going to start a war in the examination hall.”

...

Gulp, gulp—

After drinking the last bottle of blue potion,

Lin Xuan turned his head and happened to see Sword Cultivator Chen Yao's team approaching from behind.

“Don't go any further, you can't handle what's left.” Lin Xuan said with a smile.

“Wh-what do you mean we can't handle it?” The dual-ponytail professional retorted, unconvinced.

She had seen Lin Xuan in the novice secret realm before.

At that time, Lin Xuan was being besieged by two major novice secret realm Bosses, and she had intended to save him.

However, before she could cast a spell,

Lin Xuan had already killed the Boss and teleported out of the secret realm.

At that time, she thought Lin Xuan was just a reckless person.

That he was lucky not to have been surrounded and killed by the Bosses.

Now, seeing Lin Xuan's countless Skeleton Soldierss,

Although she was a little timid,

Not letting their team go forward to kill the Boss was too overbearing!

“Alright, if you don't believe me, go see for yourselves.”

Lin Xuan glanced at the time; there were still seven minutes left.

He could wait for one last wave.

He then waved his hand, and the Skeleton Soldierss opened a path for the few of them to pass through.

Chen Yao and the others also didn't stand on ceremony.

As individuals ranked in the top ten of the martial arts exam,

They naturally had their pride.

The three took a deep breath and proceeded through the passage.

However, in less than a minute,

They returned the way they came, their faces grim.

Chen Yao, as the team leader, took a deep breath and came before Lin Xuan.

“Lin Xuan, you're right, but you also need to be careful.”

“The monsters inside seem to have noticed you gathering Skeleton Soldierss and are also preparing for battle.”

“Level 20 Bosses already possess intelligence.”

“They will know very clearly what the weakness of this group of Skeleton Soldierss is.”

After speaking, Chen Yao led her two teammates to a high ground not far away.

“Weakness, you say?” Lin Xuan smiled faintly.

The weakness of a Summoner is the Summoner himself.

This was a truth even monsters knew; how could he not know it?

“Level 20 Bosses usually have five to seven thousand health, with giant-type monsters having even more.”

“However, my health isn't bad either.”

Lin Xuan stretched his limbs, waiting for his skills to cool down.

Click, click—

Accompanied by the appearance of thirty-two small hexagonal arrays,

The skeleton army expanded further.

“Twenty times, plus the initial wave, a total of six hundred and seventy-two Skeleton Soldierss!”

Looking at the Skeleton Soldierss in the seven formations ahead, Lin Xuan felt a surge of heroic spirit.

“It's a pity that there are only Skeleton Swordsmen now. If only there were Skeleton Archers, Skeleton Mages, Skeleton Cavalry...”

Thinking of the various tactical formations he had seen on Earth,

Lin Xuan led Silly Cow and walked in front of the Skeleton Soldierss, entering the most central area.

At this moment, there were exactly five minutes left until the end of the martial arts exam.

In the central area, the monsters also sensed the danger.

Led by the Frost Giant, who had already become the strongest leader, rows of them waited in place.

Roar—

In the area Lin Xuan was advancing, an ice arrow shot into the ground.

That was a warning from the Frost Giant.

“Is this a declaration of war?”

Lin Xuan's lips curved slightly, and he raised his Goblin Bone Staff.

“Charge!”

As the staff lowered, Silly Cow mooed and charged forward with its ox horn tilted.

Immediately after, hundreds of Skeleton Soldierss surged forward from Lin Xuan's sides, charging with a mighty roar.

A great battle was about to erupt!

The multitude of skeletons and the monsters led by the Bosses clashed in a chaotic melee.

Both the Bosses and Lin Xuan's side were killing machines.

Skeleton Soldierss constantly died.

But similarly, the monsters led by the Bosses also suffered casualties.

Lin Xuan was within the battlefield.

Constantly observing the positions of the Skeleton Soldierss, finding the right time to cast Corpse Explosion!

“This Lin Xuan is truly formidable.”

“His Skeleton Soldierss are not only numerous but also deal high damage.”

“It seems that this year's top scholar in Jiangcheng will undoubtedly be him.”

On the high ground in the distance, Chen Yao and her teammates watched Lin Xuan, filled with emotion.

Time slowly passed.

After the battle began, Lin Xuan's ranking changed rapidly.

From its original seventeenth place, it slowly dropped to over twenty, then returned to the top twenty.

Immediately after,

Fifteenth, tenth, seventh, fourth!

His college entrance examination points were increasing in leaps and bounds!

At the same time,

In Jiangcheng, the plaza where the live broadcast could be watched,

Also switched to Lin Xuan's screen!
