Chapter 38: Chapter 37: Su Mo: I Want to Take the Exam, But You’re Forcing Me to Kill!

Meanwhile, Lin Zixuan also posted a message in their group.

[@everyone, Qi Xiaotian plans to unite people from the other three cities to target Celestial City High School, mainly aiming at Su Mo. Everyone, remember not to participate!]

[Damn, is Qi Xiaotian that bold? Daring to target Su Mo, isn’t he courting death!]

[All are from noble families, didn’t you try to dissuade him? He’s truly capable of killing...]

[I tried, but if he wants to die, I can’t stop him. Besides, if you die in the Dungeon, there’s still the student ID, you just lose the qualification for the national exam.]

[@everyone, just remember not to participate, also if students from Celestial Wave High School can help, please try to offer some protection.]

......

Su Mo just got home and saw his sister on the sofa, her face full of excitement. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

She was scrolling through various videos on her phone, letting out crisp laughter.

Upon seeing Su Mo open the door, she rushed over.

"Mo, I knew you were the best! Tell me, what do you want to eat today? I’ll cook for you!"

Seeing his sister so excited, Su Mo felt a surge of happiness too.

It had been years since he’d seen his sister so happy.

"I’ve always said, this year’s top scorer in the college entrance exam is none other than me!"

To outsiders, Su Mo wouldn’t say this, but in front of his sister, he couldn’t help but brag.

She was his only family!

That evening, Su Mo and Su Yu enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

The next morning, Su Mo returned to the school gate.

This time was different from yesterday. As soon as he arrived, countless cameras pointed at him, taking photos relentlessly.

The flashlights kept flickering on him. If not for the soldiers around keeping those with cameras and microphones at bay, they would have surrounded him by now.

Once again arriving at the exam square, today’s crowd was reduced by more than half, with less than 300 people having successfully passed the school exam and earning a chance to take the district exam.

This made it clear that the Dungeon Su Mo cleared in 10 minutes yesterday wasn’t that simple.

Old Wang, still dressed flamboyantly, stood on the podium and addressed the crowd:

"Today’s district exam will determine if you have a chance to enter higher education, so do your best. I won’t say much more. Let’s start the exam!"

As Old Wang’s words fell, the runes underfoot glowed once more. When Su Mo opened his eyes again, he found himself on a vast plain.

Instantly, the exam rules became clear in his mind.

The district exam included four high schools: Celestial City High School, Celestial Wave High School, Yun City High School, and Gui Nan High School.

These four cities jointly safeguard the southwestern border.

This time, the Dungeon rules remained simple, a point-based system. Killing monsters earns points.

Level 3 monsters worth 1 point, Level 4 monsters 3 points, Level 5 monsters 3 points, Level 6 monsters 5 points, Level 7 monsters 10 points, Level 8 monsters 20 points, Level 10 monsters 50 points.

Based on point rankings, the top 350 can participate in the national exam.

Among these 350 slots, the top 50 have historically been occupied by noble family scions.

Of course, there’s another way: eliminate enough opponents until only 350 remain, then advance en masse.

However, few choose this route because whoever attempts it first will naturally unite others against them.

Even if successful, they would be scorned by others outside.

Understanding the rules, Su Mo did not hesitate and picked a direction to move forward.

While he didn’t consider himself a good person, he saw no need to engage in eliminating others.

With his strength, achieving first place was easy-peasy.

The 410 Speed Attribute was unleashed to its fullest, as he rushed forward like a tornado, leaving destruction in his wake.

Spotting dozens of Level 3 monsters ahead, he charged in without hesitation. With the Horse-cutting Saber, he didn’t even need to swing it; his charging speed was enough to kill all the Level 3 monsters.

These monsters also provided Assignable Free Attribute Points, and in a short time, Su Mo had gained 50 Free Attribute Points.

His score surged past 160 points.

With his current strength, even the strongest Level 10 monster in this Dungeon was just a matter of one strike.

Su Mo felled a Level 5 rhino monster with one blow and stood atop a giant rock, planning to head in a new direction.

[Bang!]

A long blade struck the back of his head. Su Mo slowly turned to look at the assailant, saying, "30 seconds to give me an explanation!"

Opposite Su Mo was a man wearing a Yun City High School uniform. Seeing his slashing didn’t affect Su Mo, who even calmly turned to ask for an explanation, left him momentarily stunned.

But upon recognizing Su Mo’s face, instead of fear, he rejoiced:

"You’re Su Mo!"

"30 seconds, explain!" Su Mo’s tone was cold, looking at the man as if staring at a dead person.

He didn’t want trouble, but if someone brings it to him, he won’t shy away. Since the blade struck his head, they’d better provide a reasonable explanation, or forget about the exam—death might be more fitting!

"Hahaha, you’re Su Mo, I’ve found Su Mo!"

Instead of fear, the man laughed wildly, taking out a whistle to signal his companions.

"Seems you don’t want to explain!"

"Hehe, explain? Explain your mother..."

[Splat!]

The Horse-cutting Saber swung, and a head fell, its expression still carrying a slight smirk.

Despite witnessing this, Su Mo’s expression remained unchanged.

He initially intended to head in another direction, but now he stayed put, waiting.

Waiting for the companions of the one he just killed to join him in reunion!

He had simply wanted to take a district exam, but why did some seek death!

Since they seek death, he’d reluctantly oblige!

As Su Mo pondered this, a shout came from afar.

"Classmate, what do you mean by attacking my companion?"

"What do I mean? Obviously, it means you’re eliminated. Isn’t it clear enough?

But you can’t entirely blame me for this, blame your school’s Su Mo,

He likes to be in the spotlight, annoying people like him!"

Su Mo silently approached the speaker from behind, his voice icy as he said:

"Oh! Is that so? So I like the spotlight, then can you tell me, who exactly is annoyed by it!"
