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

Chapter 53: Now that I'm here, why don't I get a perfect score before leaving? (Three more chapters, please read on)

[Ding! Successfully killed a level 1 patterned steel-toothed leopard*1, your Immortal Exam score increased! ]

As the system prompt sounded, the last flower-armed brother outside the cave entrance roared unwillingly, fell heavily to the ground, and finally turned into spiritual energy and floated in the air.

Only after confirming that there was no monster at the cave entrance did a figure sneak in from the shadows outside the cave.

"Very good, there is still most of my true energy left!"

Lin Mo said with a satisfied look.

In just the first wave of clearing monsters, the number exceeded thirty, five more than the first time we cleared the secret realm.

If the settlement were to be conducted now, the score would definitely be higher than before, but Lin Mo was not so easily satisfied.

"Since you're here, why don't you get full marks before leaving?"

After Lin Mo's killing efficiency skyrocketed, his confidence also skyrocketed.

However, there are a limited number of guys with flower arms at the entrance of the cave. If you want to continue to score points, you must go deeper inside.

He curled his lips and chuckled:
"You are just a little flower-armed kid, you dare to stop me?"

Just after he finished speaking, the next second he very honestly lowered his footsteps and reached inside.

A moment later, thunder crackled, accompanied by bursts of beast roars coming from the cave.

[Ding! Successfully killed a level 1 patterned steel-toothed leopard*1, your Immortal Exam score increased! ]

[Ding! Successfully killed the 1st level patterned steel teeth...]

【…】

Continuous killing notifications came into Lin Mo's ears.

He looked focused, pinching the Taoist formula with one hand and continuously releasing the Heavenly Thunder Curse.

"Roar!"

A spotted steel-toothed leopard finally spotted Lin Mo, who was hiding in the dark, and rushed towards them with a roar.

"Tian Lei Yin Yin... let's go!"

The second bolt of lightning shot out instantly and hit the center of the forehead of the patterned steel-toothed leopard.

"Crack!"

The skull of the spotted steel-toothed leopard shattered, and its head drooped down like a piece of rotten meat. Its body also lost balance and took two steps to the side, then fell to the ground with a plop.

[Ding! Successfully killed a level 1 patterned steel-toothed leopard*1, your Immortal Exam score increased! ]

A system prompt followed, but Lin Mo didn't even glance at it, and his expression gradually became serious.

Because more patterned steel-toothed leopards discovered his position, they roared and rushed towards him.

"It seems that it is still unavoidable..."

He said to himself, and the last bit of frivolity in his eyes disappeared:

"In that case, let's give it a try!"

After saying this, he pinched the Taoist formula in one hand, held the Taoist sword in the other, and began to walk nimbly.

"Kui Xing Stepping, Nine-turn Flying Stars, Beidou Wandering Dragon..."

After his proficiency in [Kui Xing Post] was maxed out, his steps became extremely flexible, and even those ferocious-looking steel-toothed leopards found it difficult to get within a few meters of him.

Even if one or two of them sneak up, he would slash them with two swords and easily block them.

Most of these patterned steel-toothed leopards have just entered the late stage of Qi training. Now that he has been promoted to the 8th level of Qi training, his strength is definitely above theirs.

He was even able to use his agile body to kill some of the patterned steel-toothed leopards.

"Very good. As long as we don't get surrounded and control our energy, we can fight."

Lin Mo became more and more confident as he fought, and his finger gestures and sword movements became faster. At the same time, he laughed loudly and said:

"Come again, little boy with flower arms!"

After saying that, he raised the sword in his hand and was about to chop. The patterned steel-toothed leopard subconsciously wanted to dodge, but found that a bolt of lightning instantly shot out from the opponent's fingers.

"Crack!"

The thunder struck the patterned steel-toothed leopard fiercely, and a tingling sensation instantly spread throughout its body. Before it fell to the ground, it heard Lin Mo's complaints:
"He's a bit fierce, but his brain doesn't seem to be working very well..."

The patterned steel-toothed leopard whimpered unwillingly twice and died with hatred in its heart.

After it, more brothers also rushed over here, but what greeted them was lightning flashing with blue light... One day later -

[Congratulations to the examinee for successfully passing the secret realm Yunyin Valley, secret realm score: A (medium), score: 480 points. ]

Lin Mo silently looked at the system prompt on the panel. After a while, he suddenly yelled:
"Fuck, we're just a few away!"

He clenched his palms in regret. There were only three or four steel-toothed leopards left in the entire cave, and without exception, all of them had been cut by him with several deep wounds.

If their true essence had not been depleted long ago, they would have been killed by two thunders.

"Even if I didn't use the Heavenly Thunder Curse, if the sword was a little faster... ah!"

He sighed helplessly.

After all, it was his first time to "fight to the end" and he had no experience. Towards the end, Lin Mo even felt a little exhausted and failed to control the rhythm well.

The rhythm was disrupted, which just allowed the remaining guy with tattooed arms to save his life.

However, after this round of fighting, the evaluation rules of the Immortal Examination Secret Realm have become very clear.

The further back in the assessment score you get, the harder it is to obtain.

Lin Mo killed 28 tattooed guys in the first round and scored 217 points.

In this round, more than a hundred flower-armed brothers were killed, but it still did not reach full marks.

Obviously, only by killing all the patterned steel-toothed leopards in the cave within the specified time can one obtain an A-level evaluation and get full marks in the secret realm assessment.

Lin Mo looked at the score of 480 on the panel with a troubled look on his face and fell into deep thought.

Although it is almost the full score, it is still 20 points short, which is disgusting no matter how you look at it.

"How many points did Chu Wange get..."

For some reason, he suddenly thought of the red dress, and the answer came immediately:
"It's definitely full marks, that goes without saying."

With Qi training completed, and so many sword techniques at the perfect level, I'm afraid that one person with one sword can go back and forth to the secret realm several times.

Maybe I'll play it a few more times to see if there are any hidden levels... Lin Mo complained in his heart.

"No, you must get full marks."

He took a deep breath, having already made up his mind, and immediately sat down cross-legged to meditate and regulate his breathing, while also remembering to slightly bend and straighten his index finger.

【merit +1】

"If you can improve your proficiency in basic swordsmanship, you should be more stable."

As he regulated his breathing, he calculated in his mind, and then put the merit points that he had secretly accumulated during the intervals between battles into the spell:
[Ding! You invested 600 points of merit in "Basic Sword Technique", skill experience +120]

[Ding! The proficiency of "Basic Sword Skills" has been raised to minor success.]

Sure enough, developing muscle memory is a good thing.

Even during the battle, his index finger would twitch from time to time to complete the deduction.

"It's just that the fingers that release the Heavenly Thunder Curse are a little bit repetitive. Can the Dao formula be performed with a different finger..."

He muttered to himself.

……

Early the next morning, Lin Mo woke up from the backpack.

He stood up and stretched. After his true energy was fully restored, he took some time to rest for a few hours. Now he felt full of energy and in full condition.

Lin Mo stretched his body slightly, picked up the Dao Sword in his hand again, and put the merit points accumulated yesterday into the panel again:
[Ding! You invested 1000 points of merit in "Basic Sword Technique", skill experience +200]

[Ding! The proficiency of "Basic Sword Skills" has been raised to the highest level.]

The simplest moves of stabbing, chopping, poking, and lifting..., became clear in Lin Mo's mind, and the sword in his hand began to dance lightly.

He closed his eyes and replayed yesterday's battle in his mind: If this chop had been faster, that sword strike more accurate, and the last stab more efficient...

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and smiled:
"It's done!"

Lin Mo’s current condition has almost reached the peak of his life. He even feels that he can beat two “protagonists” with one hand!
He stretched his muscles a little and selected [Try Again] on the panel again.

As the selection was confirmed, the air wall on the panel disappeared again, and familiar beast roars came into the ears.

He raised the Dao sword and swung it in a beautiful sword flower, pinching the Dao formula in his hand, and walked straight into the cave entrance:

"Little boy with flower arms, fight with grandpa for another 300 rounds, haha!"
