Immortal Exam rankings have been released. Please check!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Heavenly Dao system’s announcement ended, a golden scroll appeared on Lin Mo’s interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, dense rows of bold ink characters surfaced upon it:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Qinzhou’s 1008th Immortal Exam Rankings, published as follows】:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1.

Lin Mo, Qi Refining Level 7, Five Element Spiritual Root: 303 points\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With roughly 12,000 Immortal Exam candidates total, and excluding the small group marked “eliminated” for using forbidden methods, his rank still placed him among the lowest tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to describe this rank?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed reasonable, yet deeply embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially standing right beside Chu Wange—the contrast was too stark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, it was only in Lin Mo’s mind; countless candidates’ gazes were fixed on Chu Wange, and no one noticed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, atop Great Ming Mountain, the viewing pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chu Wange, Immortal Rank No. 1!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Xianzhang and Feng Xianzhang both rose to their feet, eyes blazing as they stared at the Heavenly Dao golden light on the Ascension Platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions showed a flicker of excitement—Chu Wange’s performance had surpassed their expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good. Their bet had paid off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Wange’s talent was unquestionable, but securing first place in the first round was no simple feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just from the rankings, it was clear: all top ten candidates had scores above 500.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, these prodigies had all maxed out their base scores; the difference lay solely in “bonus points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bonus points could come from many sources: primordial Dao resonance, innate spiritual beasts…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was also 【Fate】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal Masters familiar with the inner workings cast envious glances toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One reason was Chu Wange’s identity as a sword cultivator—unusually rare; the other was that Qingshan Sect and Wenda Academy had moved first, making it nearly impossible for other academies to compete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Xianzhang smiled contentedly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This year’s Qinzhou Immortal Exam truly boasts exceptional talent—over a dozen candidates scored above 500. In past years, three or five was already considered many.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xianzhang rarely agreed with him, but now nodded: “This year is indeed a golden age of cultivation—the quality is the best in a decade!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Xianzhang nodded slightly, then added: “Under such circumstances, for Xiao Chu to emerge as the top candidate is truly remarkable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing their sincere praise, Principal Zhu and the man beside him—Wang Tou—were nearly beaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter felt his bonus and title were now secure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former felt his resume had gained another brilliant stroke, and Nanshan’s future student intake was guaranteed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, he might even have a chance to rise further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Old Li…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, 360 points, rank 4999… Huh!? Why can’t I find Lin Mo’s score?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scrutinized the golden scroll of the Mirror Moon illusion, muttering to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Xianzhang & Feng Xianzhang: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost forgot about this kid…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Xianzhang reminded him: “Little Li, perhaps you should scroll from the bottom up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Li realized—he should have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he obediently scrolled upward, and soon found Lin Mo’s score—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Found it! Lin Mo, 303 points, rank 10086…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He read it aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Xianzhang nodded; both score and rank were exactly as expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Li muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could score 300 in the first round, then in the second round’s 500-point Immortal Realm, scoring just 200 would put him above the 500-point “guaranteed admission” line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking like that, it didn’t seem so hard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Li’s face lit up slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Xianzhang saw through his thoughts and silently shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, though the second round still carried 500 points, it was far from simple as he imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Meng Xianzhang said nothing more, only smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as Little Lin passes the Immortal Realm, scoring 200 points should be no problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Li’s face brightened again—he was about to speak, when Feng Xianzhang interrupted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But only if he can pass at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Xianzhang: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Li’s expression froze. “What do you mean, Feng Xianzhang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Principal Zhu cleared his throat and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Li, you’re probably new to observing the Immortal Exam, so you may not know—the Heavenly Dao Realm has always been the hardest part of the annual exam…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Principal Zhu finished explaining, Old Li finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the first round tested talent and cultivation, the second round’s realm tested the candidates’ practical ability to handle danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one of the enduring difficulties of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did average cultivators like Lin Mo struggle—many prodigies with outstanding talent also failed in the realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why Qingshan Sect and Wenda Academy insisted so strongly: Lin Mo must score above 500 to be guaranteed admission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the average admission cutoff across the nine major academies each year was above 500 points, with roughly 1,000 students admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, looking at the first-round scores, not only were there over 2,000 candidates above 400 points—far exceeding 300.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning at least half of these top candidates would fail to score even 100 points in the realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could imagine how difficult the Immortal Exam Realm truly was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Xianzhang said: “Please understand, Principal Zhu and Little Li—guaranteed admission requires a higher threshold than direct admission. Offering 500 as the requirement is already our bottom line.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five hundred was the minimum admission line—but even that didn’t guarantee entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, guaranteed students received far better resources and benefits than regular new students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t lying about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Li’s face twisted into a bitter smile; his hopes for Lin Mo instantly dimmed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… this kid has almost no chance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xianzhang shook his head: “Not necessarily. If he can master a mid-grade spell, he might still pass.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Li thought inwardly: then Ye Chen still had a chance—but Lin Mo…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How should one handle the dangers within the secret realm with a Peak Realm Kuixing Stake?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Lin Mo’s other accomplished technique, since there had been no exams during the final period, Old Li had not deliberately inquired, so it remained unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, given the other’s family background, it should likely be a common low-grade technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Lin Mo’s chance of being recommended for direct admission appeared extremely slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked toward Zhu Xiao sitting across from him, who gave him a slight shake of the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1388,"2026-06-21T02:07:02.078Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","12e7853c0ccf2d5669e41e2ceab45691485e76308a9a2c758fdff8e56894da46","comment-1-for-virtue-i-m-really-not-the-chosen-o-chapter-45","comment-1-for-virtue-i-m-really-not-the-chosen-o-chapter-43",479,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcomment-1-for-virtue-i-m-really-not-the-chosen-o-cover.jpg"]
