Chapter 68: Arena Battle! Mysterious Invitation!

Long A made promises and guarantees for a long time before hanging up the phone with satisfaction.

He turned his head to look at Lin Mo, who had an indescribable expression, and said with a smile:

"My goddess and crush are having a conflict, so I comforted them a bit more, Brother Lin, please forgive me."

Lin Mo recognized every word, but putting them together really made him unable to understand.

Long A didn't notice that his expression was wrong and was still talking to himself:

"I don't know when the school's enrollment bonus will be issued. Once I get it, I can prepare surprises for the goddess and her male god!"

What kind of surprise?

A spiral-ascending small umbrella?

Lin Mo was silent for a long time before finally saying:

"Surprises like this usually turn into shocks. Instead of racking your brains to send these gifts, it's better to just send red envelopes."

Help them pay for the room, that way you'll have more sense of participation...

He complained in his heart.

Long A didn't notice that this was a tease at all and actually analyzed it seriously:

"So that's how it is... No wonder the goddess doesn't like the 【Goddess was moved to tears】 set series I prepared. It turns out that sending red envelopes is more sincere! Okay, I'll try it then!"

After speaking, he looked at Lin Mo with a smile:

"Brother Lin really has a way with women. No wonder everyone says you and Chu Wange... haha."

Long A gave a chuckle and said again:

"Brother Lin is really a good person. Originally, I wanted to challenge you, but now it seems I was the petty one!"

Lin Mo asked suspiciously: "Challenge? What do you mean?"

"You don't know?"

"What should I know?"

"That should be because your academy team leader hasn't mentioned this matter yet." Long A explained, "The hundred-day Enlightenment Cliff holds an arena battle every month, and the winner can take away the loser's meditation cushion serial number."

Lin Mo gasped: "There's such a thing? Who set the rules?"

Long A continued: "This is not a rule of the Enlightenment Cliff; the arena battle is only held for the students of the Nine Great Academies..."

After listening to his explanation, Lin Mo learned that the Enlightenment Cliff arena battle was actually a default program of the Nine Great Academies every year, held once a month like a "bonfire party."

It was both to promote healthy competition within the Nine Great Academies and to keep the major academies in Qinzhou closely connected.

As for why the freshmen of the other twenty-one academies didn't participate?

They did, but the gap between the two sides was too large, so there was really nothing to compare.

So most of them acted as spectators and wouldn't go on stage.

Long A looked at Lin Mo's furrowed brows and said again: "Brother Lin, don't worry, there aren't many people who can pass the Immortal Examination Mystical Realm with full marks this year, just twenty or thirty."

So is it twenty or thirty?

The difficulty of this year's Immortal Examination Mystical Realm was indeed not high; the difficulty was in farming good things in the Mystical Realm and getting extra points.

Long A, who was squeezed out by Lin Mo, had full marks for both rounds of basic scores, but unfortunately, his luck was average when farming the Mystical Realm, only farming a lowest-level purple light treasure, so the bonus points were only 40.

The final total score was just 3 points behind Lin Mo.

The dozen or so people after that were also the best of their age, basically reaching the 9th level of Qi Refinement.

They were either because their aptitude was slightly worse, or because they didn't farm good treasures in the Mystical Realm...

Because of various reasons, they didn't rush into the top ten of the Immortal Ranking.

Their strength might not be able to challenge the top few, but most of them had a chance to compete for at least the top twenty ranking.

It was just that Lin Mo, the tenth place picked up by "luck," was probably coveted by more than just Long A.

After all, no matter how you think about it, the top ten only had him as a "soft persimmon" that could be squeezed.

Lin Mo gritted his teeth, recalling the flashy maneuvers from the previous Immortal Examination, and felt that the probability of him getting beaten up was very high.

Long A thought for a moment and said:

"According to past years' conventions, the arena battle will be at least thirty days later, and not everyone is qualified to challenge the top ten. There is still time, come on, Brother Lin!"

He stood on tiptoe, patted Lin Mo on the shoulder, and a simple and honest smile appeared on his dark face:

"I'll go back to take a shower first; I still have to video chat with the goddess tonight."

After saying goodbye, he ran quickly along the small path toward the direction of the pavilion courtyard, disappearing on that mountain road in the blink of an eye.

Leaving Lin Mo alone on the mountain road, walking while thinking.

He pulled out his panel—

【Cultivation】: 8th level of Qi Refinement (100/5000)

【Merit Points】: 240

【Luck Value】: 62

【Supernatural Ability】:

Five-Spirit Dao Body: 1626/10000

【Spell】:

1. Heavenly Thunder Incantation (Mid-Rank · Great Accomplishment)

2. Kui Star Stance (Low-Rank · Great Accomplishment)

3. Basic Sword Art (Low-Rank): 404/1000

4. Rain Summoning Technique (Low-Rank): 200/1000

5. Fire Control Technique (Low-Rank): 200/1000

On the panel, there were probably only three spells that could be called attack methods.

One mid-rank Great Accomplishment spell, one low-rank Great Accomplishment stance technique, plus one low-rank Great Accomplishment basic sword art.

Stance technique plus physical fitness, combined with low-rank Great Accomplishment sword art, occasionally making a finishing blow was no problem.

There was also the Great Accomplishment 【Heavenly Thunder Incantation】, which was currently Lin Mo's most powerful spell.

"I wonder if I can hide and sneak attack in the arena battle..."

He touched his chin, but felt this idea was too heaven-defying.

He had naturally fought in the arena battle at Nanshan, and there would be a practical combat exam at the end of each semester.

But that level was completely a chicken-pecking-chicken fight, and facing opponents like Zhang Dahai's useless son, and these immortal seedlings who could pass the immortal examination Mystical Realm, it was completely not on the same level.

In other words, the strength of each immortal seedling who could enter the Nine Great Academies was equivalent to at least twenty or thirty "Flower-Armed Brothers."

With Lin Mo's current panel, dealing with those whose cultivation was lower than his was naturally no problem.

But if he faced a prodigy like Long A who was at the Great Accomplishment of the Meridian Unblocking Realm, thinking about it was also a very difficult thing.

The speed Long A showed in stance training just now, if they were on the same arena, Lin Mo might not even be able to pinch the Dao formula before being grabbed by the other party for close combat, and then taken away in one set.

Excluding Long A, there were still many "ruthless characters" who got full marks in the top twenty.

"No, I still have to find out clearly."

Lin Mo thought carefully and decided to take this matter seriously.

【Enlightenment Glow】 even if it was just one row apart, the effect would be different.

If he was accidentally challenged down by some freshman on the eighth level, the blessing effect of the glow would be far worse than just a little bit.

Lin Mo, who had thought it through, took out his spirit machine, opened the contact list, found Zhuang Weiwan's spirit machine number he had asked for earlier, and clicked to send a message:

"Senior Sister Zhuang, I have something I want to ask you. Can I come over to find you now?"

Only after clicking send did he realize that it was late, and it didn't seem suitable for a visit.

Just as he wanted to reach out and withdraw the message, he heard a "ding-dong" sound, and the other party had already replied:

"You can come over. I'm at Pavilion Courtyard No. 88. No need to knock, just unlock and come in. The password is: 13516."

Lin Mo looked at that string of room passwords and always felt that this was some kind of mysterious invitation... ===== CHAPTER 69 =====
