Deduct 1 for merit. I am really not a child of luck.

Chapter 20 My target is the Nine Taoist Temples!
If it weren't for the rules of the Immortal Examination, which prohibited the random testing of the examinee's other attributes, he would even want to feel Lin Mo's bone mass on the spot.

It’s not that it’s impossible to get high scores with low-grade spells, but the requirements for getting high scores are too outrageous, and it’s difficult for these teenagers who are seventeen or eighteen years old to do it.

Spell training is divided into several levels according to proficiency, namely: entry level, minor level, major level, peak level, and perfection.

According to calculations, Lin Mo was able to get a spell score of 180 points, which proved that his proficiency in Kuixing Posture had reached more than 600 points, which was the pinnacle level.

This is difficult to achieve without more than ten or twenty years of hard practice.

If it were put in a standing competition among old men in the community park, they would all be able to get into the top three.

"You are very good."

This was the second time the invigilator praised Lin Mo today, and it was not to Zhu Hongyuan who had a higher score, but to Lin Mo.

The students in the audience had different expressions.

It’s okay for those who don’t know Lin Mo well. At most, they are just a little surprised that he suddenly got a high score today.

But those who knew Lin Mo seemed a little unhappy.

Li Feng opened his mouth wide, his eyes filled with disbelief, his expression both shy and annoyed.

His score was 352, just 2 points above the passing line.

Lin Mo's score exceeded the admission line by 155 points, which was points higher than his!

Then, he who just started to mock the other party for being embarrassed on stage, is he the embarrassing one now?

As for the classmates nearby, they were also surprised at first, and then looked relieved.

Fortunately, I didn't mock them just now... This thought came to their minds at the same time, and then they silently looked at Ye Chen beside them.

Ye Chen's eyes were stunned for a moment, then his brows furrowed. It was unknown what he was thinking. He closed his mouth tightly and said nothing.

As expected of you, you are still pretending to be silent and cool... Lin Mo took in their expressions one by one, and felt quite satisfied.

Thanks to my hard work day and night during this period, plus working overtime all night last night, I was able to complete the comeback before the third mock exam.

Do you know how much merit points I spent to upgrade Kuixing Zhuang to the peak level?

A full 1800 points!

This is the result of nearly two days!

At this moment, hard work finally took on a concrete meaning.

Just as he was laughing in his heart, a dark shadow suddenly rushed onto the stage at lightning speed, grabbed his collar and roared:
"You deserve to die! How did you score such a high number? Did you cheat behind your dad's back? Tell me now, you cheated. Your real score isn't that high. Tell the teacher now..."

Lin Mo stood there in a daze, looking at Zhang Dahai whose saliva flew into his face. The latter was almost losing his mind and roaring at him continuously.

I almost forgot about this thief Sun...

It turns out that the worst person is not anyone else, but Zhang Dahai.

……

……

Until the end of the third mock exam, a group of people followed the invigilator out of the gymnasium, all wanting to join in the fun in the director's office.

Among them, Lin Mo also followed the invigilator Nong Qing, and his position was actually on par with Ye Chen.

Beside him, Zhang Dahai, who couldn't accept it, kept muttering:

"That shouldn't be possible. How could it be possible? How did he reach the 4th level of Qi training?"

"When I went to the temple to make a wish, I didn't make one for you!"

You are such a bastard... Lin Mo complained in his heart, then smiled calmly and said:

"I don't know. Maybe I just got it all of a sudden."

At this point, he deliberately glanced at Ye Chen who came out with the invigilator and said:
"I haven't been able to find any elixirs recently, but I just kept practicing and I broke through. Maybe it's just luck."

He emphasized the word "lucky". Ye Chen, who was pretending to be deep, suddenly looked gloomy. Lin Mo pretended not to see it and turned to the invigilator and said:

"Oh, this rate of improvement is still not good enough. I still need to keep working hard. Teacher Nong Qing said that my score is still quite risky if I want to go to Xuanyuan Dao College."

Nong Qing: “…”

I have said the second half of the sentence, but I don’t agree with the first half!
Nong Qing coughed lightly and said:

"Little brother, don't underestimate yourself. You are really good."

"What I meant just now is that if we want to recruit in advance, your score is indeed a little short, but it is not impossible to negotiate."

The students next to him were even more surprised when they heard this.

Lin Mo is almost meeting the requirements for admission?
But soon a doubt arose in their minds: why did Zhu Hongyuan, who had a higher score, not receive an invitation?

Nong Qing naturally knew what they were thinking, but he did not explain too much.

Although for most cultivators, spiritual root qualifications mean everything.

However, for physical cultivation, the most important thing is not the spiritual roots, but the [root bones].

The better the [Root Bone] value, the faster the speed of cultivating physical and spiritual abilities will be.

Moreover, at the same realm, the combat power of a cultivator with a higher root bone value is likely to exceed that of a cultivator with a lower root bone value.

Moreover, if the [root bones] are good enough, it can even develop into a special physique.

Physiques such as the Blood Python Body and the Shaoyang Body have bonuses when practicing special physical skills and abilities, and their combat power far exceeds that of cultivators at the same level.

I heard that this year, a rare innate ancient holy body that is rare in a hundred years appeared in the neighboring province, and it is even expected to compete for the top spot in this year's Qinzhou Hundred Provinces Immortal Examination.

This is the advantage of a special physique.

After Nong Qing had just sought Lin Mo's consent, he touched the latter's bones and found that his bones seemed to be no different from those of ordinary people, and were even lighter.

But the Kuixing Posture of the Dengfeng Realm cannot be faked, so he seriously doubted whether Lin Mo had some undetectable mutant physique.

There have been cases of this in previous immortal examinations.

The so-called "it's not impossible to negotiate" is actually a vaccination against the existence of [special physique].

Of course, compared to Lin Mo, who is very uncertain, he is obviously more interested in Ye Chen.

This is the confirmed "Son of Fortune". Perhaps all the students present here do not know that the significance of the Son of Fortune to a Taoist academy is even greater than that of an ordinary genius.

Therefore, the task assigned to him by the academy was that he must bring Ye Chen back!
Thinking of this, Nong Qing glanced at Ye Chen, who looked unhappy, and said at the right time:

"As for classmate Ye Chen, on behalf of Xuanyuan Dao College, I would like to extend an invitation to you for admission!"

As soon as these words came out, the students around exclaimed again, with obvious envy on their faces.

Xuanyuan Taoist College ranks eleventh among the thirty Taoist colleges in Qinzhou, and is definitely an above-average Taoist college.

For ordinary immortal candidates, it is the Taoist Academy they dream of attending.

Ye Chen, who received the invitation in person, looked relieved, then adjusted his expression slightly and said to Nong Qing:

"Teacher Nong Qing, if you are going to the director's office to discuss this matter, then please allow me to refuse, because..."

He paused, glanced at Lin Mo sideways, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and then said in a resounding voice:
"My target is the Nine Daoist Colleges!"

There was an uproar all around again.

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Lin Mo glared over without giving in.

Look at the market, it’s like everyone’s goal is to target the nine major Taoist temples.

I came here just to see the world, not because I wanted to be admitted to a mere eleventh-ranked college...
