Lin Mo is in the sky!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, everyone was startled and looked up toward the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from swirling clouds, the Golden Light Immortal List was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, sorry—I meant on the Immortal List.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man added quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did they notice that among the few names still glowing on the Immortal List, one was Lin Mo—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>999.

His initial test score’s even lower than mine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone pouted, speaking with a sour tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did those who passed the secret realm have far higher initial scores, even most who failed scored far higher than Lin Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s already the seventh day of the Immortal Exam—why hasn’t he come out yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could something have happened to him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Probably not—his name’s still glowing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students murmured among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Yan Nanfeng and other cultivation experts had learned from the Immortal Masters on the viewing platform who Lin Mo was and roughly understood his relationship with Chu Wange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Five Elements Spirit Roots…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Nanfeng fell silent for a moment—he could accept this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Lin Mo’s talent was poor, he’d still made it into the top one thousand of the Immortal Exam; by past precedent, he’d easily scrape into one of the Nine Great Dao Academies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s thought, Yan Nanfeng smiled and said, “No problem—it’s already the seventh day.

That tattooed brat? Hmph.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo snorted in his heart, then, as the final seconds of the countdown ticked away, he began forming the Dao hand seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heavenly thunder rumbles, earthly thunder darkens.
