After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 704 - 494. Ice Abyss Assessment, Admission Slots Announcement_2
Chapter 704: 494. Ice Abyss Assessment, Admission Slots Announcement_2
“My family, there’s only Lin Da…”
In her sleep, Lulu frowned, murmuring dreams escaping her throat indistinctly.
…
The next morning, Lin Da received a special letter.
The envelope was blue, and the content was simple.
The examination in Ice Abyss would start in five days, outdoors in Dafei City!
Not just Lin Da, but Abner, Isa, and Lia, all received this letter.
“Didn’t expect it to be so soon…”
Lin Da sighed helplessly.
At noon, four adventure teams assembled outside the city.
President Velen, many officials, and people like Robert saw them off.
“You must pass!”
“Show some spirit for White Dove City!”
“I believe in you, all four teams can secure the admission spots!”
Cheers erupted everywhere.
Even Commissioner Mevent was red in the face, yelling at the top of his lungs.
Lin Da and others felt a heavy responsibility.
As the strongest four adventure teams of White Dove City, they represented the face of the city.
“We absolutely cannot lose.”
The four looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
…
On the third day in the afternoon, people from White Dove City arrived in Dafei City.
Arranged by the staff of Ice Abyss, they stayed in tents.
The massive circular building was mainly divided into three areas: the written test area, the practical test area, and the instructor evaluation area.
Lin Da saw many adventurers from various cities, all of the Moon Rank, including some top-level masters at level 48.
Even before the examination started, the air was already filled with tension.
Lin Da observed the other teams secretly, gradually relaxing. Even here, the seasoned Sunrise Level Phoenix Tail Flower was not a weak contender.
With the addition of Taige and Mingli to the team now, the overall combat power had improved; as long as they didn’t perform too poorly on the written exam, securing a spot should be more than manageable.
That afternoon, Lin Da gathered the team members for a crash course.
It’s worth mentioning that Lia and Klrona also participated.
After an entire night of intense cramming, all team members showed up with dark circles under their eyes.
Lia and Taige’s heads had multiple bumps.
These two dimwits had awful memories.
Lin Da had no choice but to be harsh, making them learn the answers by heart.
The next day, the examination proceeded as scheduled.
The first was the written test.
In a sealed room, each person had a wooden desk and a feather pen, with 60 minutes on the clock.
The papers were handed out, Lin Da glanced at them, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled.
Too easy, it’s all basic knowledge of the game.
Question: How many types of Slime are there?
Lin Da wrote: The most basic types are water, fire, earth, and air. Including mutations and derivatives, there are 32 types in total, such as steel, thunder, grass…
Second question: You are a Fire Swordmaster with a strength of 100. Assuming your next attack deals True Damage, how much damage would it cause hitting a “Fur-Covered Grass Creature,” and why?
Lin Da smiled with satisfaction, all elementary-level questions, no difficulty at all.
He wrote: Fire attacks on furry Magical Creatures receive a 50% damage boost, and as the target is of the Grass System, another 50% boost applies. Therefore, the damage dealt is 200 points.
The rest of the questions were similar, Lin Da’s feather pen flowed smoothly without any pauses.
An hour later, everyone walked out of the exam hall.
Some had smiles on their faces, while others looked devastated.
A small part looked unaffected like Lin Da; they generally did well.
“It’s over, over, time to slink back home,” Lia said as she wobbled out of the exam hall, her gaze vacant as though she had lost her soul.
“Heh, I wrote everything down,” Taunt Taige said, “You’re weaker than me, and so is your brain.”
Seeing the contrasting emotions of the two, Lin Da’s heart was in turmoil, with a foreboding sense of doom.
In the afternoon, the exam results were posted.
A huge billboard listed everyone’s scores and rankings.
Adventurers from various cities gathered to check.
“First place…Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, Lin Da, perfect score 150!”
A little-bearded swordsman said in surprise.
The crowd looked sideways at the young man with black hair and black eyes amidst them.
In the upcoming competitions, this person would undoubtedly be a formidable adversary.
Lin Da was not surprised by his first place result, but he was mainly interested in the scores of Taige and Lia.
His own high score was expected; it was just a matter of how much these two dimwits would drag him down.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Da was dumbfounded.
Taige: 22 points
Lia: 57 points
“You two—come here!”
Lin Da was enraged to the point of collapse.
What had he even learned last night?
Even random guessing should have gotten him 30 points!
Taige and Lia’s faces turned deathly pale as they fled together.
They simply couldn’t face everyone.
Taige had been confident of scoring above 100, but this 22 was a real slap in the face to the tiger.
Even Lia, whom he considered a dumbass, had scored over 50.
Taige found a place to have a big meal, stuffing himself until his belly was round, before returning to the Phoenix Tail Flower’s temporary quarters.
Lin Da unceremoniously gave Taige a thorough scolding and punished him with six hours of starvation.
Of course, there was also good news.
The other members of Phoenix Tail Flower and Snow Goose had scored very high.
Lulu ranked fourth with 144 points.
Aiko even took second place with 148 points.
Just one multiple-choice question behind Lin Da.
Klyne and Phyllis also performed well.
They brought the average score up.
Despite that, breaking into the top 10 was still difficult.
Lin Da did some calculations, and currently, Phoenix Tail Flower’s average score was 118, ranking them exactly tenth among the thirty adventure teams.
The teams of Abner and Isa ranked fifth and seventh respectively.
As for Snow Goose… even with the efforts of Aiko and others to boost the score, thanks to Lia, they ranked thirteenth.
In the upcoming practical combat and instructor sparring segments, Snow Goose needed to score high.
Thus, that evening, Lin Da continued to rigorously train Lia and Taige.
If brains weren’t working, fighting had to, right?
Win for me, fiercely!
Both were very confident about the combat.
They both shook off the gloom of the written test, their eyes shining, their statures seemingly becoming taller.
In training, the two teamed up, swords and fists creating a powerful firepower net.
Lin Da was pressed so hard he couldn’t move, relying solely on his shield to hold up.
“Such terrifying strength from idiots…”
Lin Da was secretly alarmed.

If they were so fierce, there should be no problem with tomorrow’s practical combat.
The next day came the practical combat examination.
White Dove City’s four teams were all assigned relatively weak opponents.
A bit of luck, plus their own strength, led to them all winning resoundingly.
On the third day during the instructor sparring, each team sent one member to match against an instructor ranked level 49.
Lasting 10 rounds was considered qualifying, and the more rounds you withstood, the higher the score.
Lia and Isa lasted 28 and 37 rounds respectively.
The latter’s Dance of Frost could greatly enhance attack speed and agility, extremely advantageous in dodging during battle.
Lin Da continued to hide his strength, achieving a moderately good result of 30 rounds.
Upon stepping down, the blonde ponytailed instructor named Tannis gave him a meaningful look.
Lin Da had a feeling that his strength might have been uncovered.
Fortunately, she did not expose him.
In the afternoon, admission slots were announced.
Excitingly, all four adventure teams from White Dove City made the cut!
Phoenix Tail Flower ranked sixth, with Abner’s team following closely behind.
That evening, they all went to the most luxurious hotel in Dafei City to celebrate properly.
Unless something unexpected happened, they would set off for Cyan City the next day.
At the dinner table, Abner laughed, “With our four teams together, it’ll be good to have some backup there.
From what I’ve heard, the internal factionalism in Ice Abyss is quite severe.
They divide into different factions based on region and origin.
Us from smaller places are not well-regarded, which makes it tougher.”
“Humph, when we from White Dove City go there, we’ll be the strongest faction, right, Lin Da?” Lia said proudly.
The intimate actions between the two, such as Lin Da casually feeding Lia and Lia stealing glances at Lin Da with a suggestive look, made Abner and the others suddenly understand. The way they looked at Lin Da became somewhat amused.
Perhaps the initial “Ultimate Pervert” was a slander against Lin Da, but now… it was hard to say.
“I’m not going just yet,”
Lin Da said, startling everyone.
The lively private room suddenly fell silent.
Over thirty people stared at Lin Da in surprise.
Lia became anxious, “You’re not going? What do you mean? Didn’t you get the placement?”
Abner and Isa also found it hard to comprehend.
Having the strongest among them, Phoenix Tail Flower, journey together would benefit everyone.
If Lin Da didn’t go, it would make things incredibly difficult for these newly ranked Moon Rank adventurers.
“You’ve misunderstood me. What I actually meant was, I’ll go a bit later.”
Lin Da took out a handwritten letter from Evelyn.
He told everyone that due to certain reasons, he had attained the rating of a Ten Star Adventurer.
