14: Chapter 14 First Ten-Pull

Seeing that both of them had left, Su Mu opened the system.

He glanced at his conversion value.

985!

Keeping the Dark Thunder Domain expanded, Su Mu sprinted straight toward the core area.

Rumors were flying online that the test designer for this year's Ability College Entrance Examination was Uncle Li, but Su Mu didn't believe it.

Uncle Li had designed the Ability College Entrance Examination questions once before,

and the difficulty of the exam that year was exceptionally high.

This led to a massive spike in the mortality rate of the candidates that year.

It was more than double the previous year's rate.

Consequently, Uncle Li was thrust into the center of a storm of controversy,

and the internet was filled with voices cursing the test designer.

Starting from that year, the identities of the test designers for the Ability College Entrance Examination were kept hidden.

After such a huge public relations crisis, it stood to reason that Uncle Li wouldn't be designing questions for the exam again.

At this moment, Su Mu stood on the roof of a building, observing the fierce beasts in the core area.

The largest building in the core area was a hotel. In front of the hotel's main entrance,

a panda the size of a bus lay on the ground, sleeping.

Many Rank 2 fierce beasts wandered around the hotel.

It looked like an emperor sitting in the capital, with ministers guarding the borders.

Su Mu watched for about 3 minutes and did a quick tally.

There were over twenty Rank 2 fierce beasts in total.

There wasn't a single Rank 1 fierce beast.

Charging straight in and hacking away blindly was definitely not an option.

Facing more than twenty fierce beasts at once, he wouldn't even know how he died.

He still needed to use Zhou Yang's strategy from earlier: lure the beasts out and then kill them.

Su Mu went down the building and picked up two stones from the ground.

At a distance of about a hundred meters from the core area, Su Mu threw one with great force.

Thud!

The stone didn't hit a beast but landed right next to one.

However, it successfully caught the beasts' attention.

Su Mu threw the other stone, which flew toward another beast.

Both beasts were lured and came charging toward Su Mu's direction.

The beasts could cover a hundred meters in less than 3 seconds.

Su Mu turned and ran.

In a short while, Su Mu had lured the beasts 500 meters away from the core area.

Crackling—

Su Mu directly used Chidori to finish off the beasts.

Ding! Killed Rank 2 fierce beast Golden-Toothed Tiger, Conversion Value +30.

Ding! Killed Rank 2 fierce beast Silver-Toothed Tiger, Conversion Value +25.

Ding! Killed Rank 2 fierce beast Saber-Toothed Tiger, Conversion Value +20.

...

The lured beasts were all killed in the blink of an eye.

This time, Su Mu intentionally didn't use Spear Technique, switching to his Lightning Ability to kill the beasts instead.

What he didn't expect, however, was that using Chidori would actually trigger a change in the weather.

Thunder continued to rumble in the sky.

Stepping on the head of a fierce beast, Su Mu opened the system.

Conversion Value: 1035

He could finally afford a ten-pull draw.

'System, give me a ten-pull!'

A series of chime sounds rang in Su Mu's mind.

The pointer on the wheel spun rapidly, stopping briefly before continuing to spin.

After repeating this 10 times.

Congratulations, you have obtained source power recovery potion ×1.

Congratulations, you have obtained universal combat technique learning card ×1.

Congratulations, you have obtained Combat Technique Proficiency Card ×1.

...

The first nine prizes were all very ordinary, either green or blue tier rewards.

Suddenly, a flash of purple appeared.

Congratulations, you have obtained low-level experience card ×1.

All rewards have been placed into the system space.

Su Mu's mouth curled into a wide grin; this was the thing he wanted most.

He couldn't wait to open the system space.

He looked at that low-level experience card.

The description read:

A low-level experience card can increase the host's cultivation level.

Use!

Su Mu's level increased instantly. A surge of energy flooded in, and his entire body felt filled with power.

The physical stamina and Source Power he had consumed killing the beasts were also restored.

Su Mu felt a wave of satisfaction from his scalp down to his toes.

Su Mu also used the Combat Technique Proficiency Card and Cultivation Method Proficiency Card he had just obtained.

In an instant, lightning flowed through Su Mu's body.

The radius of Su Mu's Dark Thunder Domain expanded from 20 meters to 30 meters.

Opening the system panel:

[Name]: Su Mu

[Level]: Rank 1 High-Grade

[Source Power Cultivation Method]: Final Thunder Art (Proficient)

[Source Power]: 563

[Soul]: 425

[Ability]: S-Rank Thunder-Dark Domain

[Combat Techniques]: Thunder Cloud Spear (Expert), Chidori (Proficient)

[Weapon]: Spear Technique (Proficient)

[Conversion Value]: 35

His conversion value had evaporated in an instant, but Su Mu's Source Power had increased significantly.

What pleased him most was that his level had actually skipped Mid-Grade and broken through directly to High-Grade.

Now he was even more confident. As long as he dealt with all the Rank 2 fierce beasts,

he was certain he could take on that Rank 3 fierce beast in a one-on-one fight.

He repeated the old trick:

Lure the beasts,

lead them to an open area,

and kill them.

After repeating this process five or six times,

the Rank 2 fierce beasts in the core area had been completely cleared out by Su Mu.

Now, only the Rank 3 Low-Grade Explosive Flame Panda lying at the hotel entrance remained.

This panda was quite oblivious; it was still sleeping even though its little underlings were all dead.

But on second thought, if it were any other kind of Rank 3 beast,

it probably would have rushed out and crushed the provocative kid the second time he tried to lure its minions.

The type of Rank 3 beast was likely chosen specifically by the test designer.

The goal was to allow candidates to form teams and slowly divide the beasts,

eventually clearing out the Rank 3 boss in the middle.

Su Mu took out another bottle of source power recovery potion from his system space.

He tilted his head back and drank it. After a while, his Source Power was mostly restored.

"Holy crap! The Rank 2 fierce beasts in the entire core area were all cleared out by Su Mu alone."

"This is insane! It's simply ridiculous. I never thought there would be such a ruthless person."

"I, Zhang San, am willing to call you the strongest."

Footage of Su Mu's exam was uploaded online, and many netizens were commenting frantically under the video.

Inside the backstage monitoring room.

The high school principals were exploding with excitement once again.

"Holy crap! Our Jianglan City is going to produce a provincial top scorer this year!"

All the usually refined and scholarly principals were now swearing in excitement.

The strength Su Mu had shown before was impressive, but it was only at the level of a Jianglan City top scorer.

Taking the city's top spot didn't matter much to them; it could even be said to have little impact.

But a Jiang Province top scorer was completely different. It would make the Jiang Province Education Bureau take notice of Jianglan City.

That could potentially bring benefits to other high schools as well.

When someone else eats meat and happens to bring you a bowl of soup,

everyone is going to be very happy.

Incidentally, after seeing Su Mu kill all the Rank 2 beasts in the core area,

the two admissions directors left the monitoring room again.

"Hello! Principal, sorry to bother you, but I need to add some more terms to the conditions I just applied for."

Modu University admissions Director He Kui wore a classic expression of

thirty percent shock, thirty percent excitement, forty percent fear, and ninety percent ecstasy.

"Principal, it's true, it's all true!

This student must be recruited to our Modu University.

Otherwise, it might affect the National Ability University League for the next three years."

He Kui explained again and again.

Finally, he sent the video of Su Mu killing all the Rank 2 fierce beasts in the core area to the principal.

Less than five minutes after it was sent.

Principal Yang: You must pull this student into our Modu University at all costs.

He Kui was in high spirits, having obtained the highest conditions Modu University could offer to recruit a student.

On his way back to the monitoring room, He Kui ran into Kyoto University admissions office director Cui Yuyu, who had also just finished a phone call.

Cui Yuyu's expression was slightly helpless; it seemed Kyoto University hadn't agreed to the requests she proposed.

He Kui was even happier inside. This way, he was even more confident about securing Su Mu.
