"Will my parents be there?"

Lulu felt a little uneasy.

When she was ten years old, she cut off all ties with her parents.

"My only family is Linda."

In her sleep, Lulu frowned, and faint murmurs escaped her throat.

The following morning, Linda received a special letter.

The envelope was blue, and the contents were simple.

The Ice Abyss Trial will begin in five days in the wilderness of Dafei City!

Not only Linda, but also Abner, Isa, and Lia received this letter.

"I didn't expect the time to be so early."

Linda sighed helplessly.

At noon, the four adventure teams gathered outside the city.

President Viren, along with numerous officials and Robert and others, watched them depart.

"It absolutely has to pass!"

"Let's fight for our White Dove City!"

"I believe in you all. All four teams deserve a place!"

Cheers rang out.

Even Committee Member Mevent blushed and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Linda and others felt a heavy responsibility.

As the four strongest adventure teams in White Dove City, they represent the face of this city.

We absolutely cannot lose.

The four looked at each other and nodded.

On the afternoon of the third day, the group from White Dove City arrived in Big Fly City.

They moved into tents under the arrangement of the Ice Abyss staff.

This is a huge circular building, mainly divided into three areas: the written test area, the practical test area, and the instructor assessment area.

Linda met many adventurers from various cities, all of whom were Moon Rank, including some top experts at level 48.

The assessment hadn't even started yet, but the atmosphere was already tense.

Linda secretly observed the various teams, her mood gradually relaxing. A seasoned Sunrise-level Phoenix Flower was not considered weak here.

With the addition of Taigo and Mingli, the team's overall strength has improved. As long as they don't perform too poorly in the written test, securing a spot is more than enough.

That afternoon, Linda gathered her team members and gave them intensive tutoring.

It's worth mentioning that Leah and Chrona also participated.

After a whole night of intense brainstorming, all the team members had dark circles under their eyes.

Leah and Tego now have a bunch of bumps on their heads.

Those two idiots have terrible memories.

Linda had no choice but to resort to drastic measures, making them remember the answer through their bodies.

The assessment was held as scheduled the following day.

The first part was a written test.

In the closed room, each person has a wooden table and a quill pen, and the allotted time is 60 minutes.

When the test papers were handed out, Linda glanced at them and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

It's too easy; it's all basic game knowledge.

Q: How many kinds of slime are there?

Linda wrote: The most basic elements are water, fire, earth, and wind. Including mutations and derivatives, there are a total of 32 types, namely steel, lightning, grass, etc.

Question 2: You are a fire-type swordsman with a strength value of 100. Assuming your next attack deals true damage, how much damage will it deal to a [hairy fleshy plant]? Why?

Linda smiled knowingly; they were all elementary school level questions, not difficult at all.

He wrote: Fire-type attacks on furry monsters have a 50% damage increase, and since the target is a Grass-type monster, the damage increase is 50%, so the damage dealt is 200 points.

The questions that followed were similar, and Linda's quill pen moved smoothly and without any pause.

An hour later, everyone walked out of the examination room.

Some wore smiles, while others looked as if they had lost their parents.

A small number, like Linda, show no change in expression.

These types of students usually have good grades.

"It's over, it's over, we have to slink back home."

Lia staggered out of the examination room, her eyes glazed over, as if she had lost her soul.

“Heh heh, I wrote it all down,” Tagore scoffed. “You’re not as strong as me, and you’re not as smart as me either.”

Seeing the two people's contrasting expressions of joy and sorrow, Linda felt uneasy and had a premonition that everything was over.

In the afternoon, the exam results were released.

On the huge bulletin board, everyone's score and ranking were listed.

Adventurers from various cities gathered around to take a look.

"First place. Phoenix Flower Adventure Team, Linda, full score 150!"

"A swordsman with a small mustache said in surprise."

Everyone turned their heads to look at the young man with black hair and black eyes in the crowd.

This person will definitely be a tough opponent in the upcoming competition.

Linda wasn't surprised by her first-place finish; she was mainly curious about the scores of Tagore and Lia.

My high score is a given; it's just a matter of how much these two idiots drag me down.

Upon closer inspection, Linda was dumbfounded.

Taigo: 22 points

Leah: 57 points

"You two—come here!"

Linda was so angry she broke down.

What did you learn last night?

Even if you just guess randomly, you can probably get 30 points!

Tagore and Leah turned pale and fled together.

I have no face to face everyone.

Taige was confident he could score 100 or higher, but this 22 really stung.

Even Leah, whom she considered stupid, scored over 50.

Tago found a place to have a big meal, stuffing himself until his belly was round before returning to the Phoenix Flower's temporary dormitory.

Linda didn't hold back and gave Tago a stern lecture, punishing him by making him go hungry for six hours.

Of course, there is also good news.

The scores of Luanweihua and Xueyan, as well as the others, were all very high.

Lulu ranked 4th with 144 points.

Ai Ke ranked second with 148 points.

Linda is the only one left to choose from.

Kayle and Phyllis also performed well.

It raised the average score.
