MTLNOVEL Chapter 179: The Power of the Special Undead! (Two in one, 2/5)_1
Before entering the assessment, Chen Mo examined his current attributes.
With his new title and the promotion of his Profession star level, his attributes had improved by leaps and bounds.

If Chen Mo's previous attributes could be compared to a standard Level 60 second-transition professional, his current attributes were now nearly equivalent to a high star level Level 60 second-transition professional.
Though still far from a Level 60 third-transition, his attributes at least ranked him among the top of second-transition professionals.
After confirming his current powerful attributes, Chen Mo selected the SSS-level challenge for the Realm Breakthrough Assessment!
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: This challenge will deduct 1,496,000 experience points. Please confirm.]
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: Warning! This assessment is extremely difficult. According to historical challenger death statistics, there is an extremely high mortality rate! Please confirm again whether you wish to proceed with the challenge!]
"Confirm!"
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: Experience deduction complete. You will soon enter the assessment space!]
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: You have entered the assessment space. The assessment mission has been issued!]
[Mission Hint: Assist the residents of Storm City in resisting the beast wave's assault on the city. Survive for 24 hours. A beast wave will attack every hour. The beast wave's intensity will increase every hour, and its numbers will double. Successfully repelling each beast wave grants city defense rewards based on the wave number and an opportunity to abandon the challenge!]
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: The first beast wave will arrive in 15 minutes. You have one opportunity to abandon the assessment. Do you wish to abandon it?]
A survival assessment? Is it that simple and brutal?
Chen Mo directly selected 'No.'
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: You have accepted the assessment. The assessment has officially started, and the survival countdown has begun…]
As the prompt ended, Chen Mo found himself in a small city.
As soon as he arrived, Chen Mo saw several soldiers with severed limbs awaiting treatment and many residents with sorrowful expressions. The entire town was permeated with a bleak death energy.
"Hero Lord, thank you for your support! We heard that you can summon a large number of undead to aid in battle. We entrust today's beast wave entirely to you! Our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, and our combat strength is only a few thousand—a mere drop in the bucket. However, we still have many Blessing Masters who can bestow blessings upon you and your Undead Army!"
While Chen Mo was observing his surroundings, a man with one arm and a chunk of flesh missing from his face, revealing his frightening gums, lightly tapped him and informed him of the current situation.
"Were you attacked by the beast wave?"
"Yes, these brutes are extremely cruel. Look at what those beasts that broke in have done."
The Guard Captain pointed with grief and indignation at a mother and son nearby.
One could see that an unidentified beast had gnawed away half of both the mother's and son's bodies. The mother, in an attempt to protect her son, had shielded him with her own body and thus suffered more damage. Blood and intestines from both victims were spilled on the ground, a truly tragic and horrifying sight.
Chen Mo couldn't bear to look at this and averted his gaze.
It wasn't that he was afraid of the gore, but seeing a mother struggle so desperately to protect her child, only to fail in the end, filled him with an inexplicable sense of sorrow.
"Please take me to see the direction of the beast wave's assault."
The Guard Captain nodded to a young recruit beside him and said, "Lin Ke, take the Hero Lord to the city tower to have a look."
"Yes!"
"My apologies, Hero Lord. I need to receive treatment, so I won't be able to accompany you."
"It's alright. Go ahead."
Chen Mo nodded and looked at the young man standing beside the Guard Captain.
The young man was clearly new to such a place, a hint of fear visible in his expression.
"Hero Lord, please follow me."
As he followed the young soldier towards the city tower, Chen Mo saw bloodstains everywhere—some from Demon Beasts, others from humans. The city was littered with corpses, and everyone was too busy to even begin clearing them.
This is truly brutal! If a Disaster capable of breaching the city were to really occur, I'm afraid our Earth would become a living hell like this.
Human empathy allowed Chen Mo to deeply feel for the suffering of this city's inhabitants.
Soon, he ascended the city tower along with the young soldier.
Many able-bodied soldiers were still stationed here, guarding the tower. When they saw Lin Ke approaching with Chen Mo, everyone immediately looked at Chen Mo with curiosity. They had heard that a Hero Lord would arrive to help them resist the beast wave.
This newcomer indeed seemed to possess such an aura.
"Seniors, this is the Hero Lord who has come to help us defend the city. The Guard Captain asked me to bring him here to see the surroundings."
"Is he truly the Hero Lord?"
"The Hero Lord is really here!"
