Chapter 23
"Ahahahaha!"
The grade dean Chu Hen laughed aloud.
"Brother Qingxuan, has this student impressed you?" Chu Hen asked ostentatiously.
Li Qingxuan nodded slightly and said, "Well, it's not bad."
Chu Hen laughed again.
Never before had anyone been able to get such an a.s.sessment from the harsh Li Qingxuan.
Chu Hen finally had saved a little face.
He walked over, patted Wu Xiaofang on the shoulder with great satisfaction, and said, "Well done, you didn't disappoint me. Keep trying."
Wu Xiaofang felt complacent in the heart.
Stepping out of the ring, he looked at Lin Beichen and said, "Now have you seen the gap between you and me?"
Lin Beichen nodded and replied, "Yes."
"Hha, now that you've seen it, don't take any chances. Get ready to be my slave, you trash," Wu Xiaofang said fiercely in a low voice.
Lin Beichen did not say anything.
Wu Xiaofang was even prouder because he thought Lin Beichen must be scared.
"Mu Xinyue of Cla.s.s Two, Grade Two, get on the ring and take the test," the invigilator continued.
Wu Xiaofang smiled at Mu Xinyue beside him and encouraged her, "Come on, Junior Sister Mu, have faith in yourself. You'll get a satisfactory score."
Mu Xinyue did not reply him, but walked straight to the ring.
She walked steadily with each step.
"Today is destined to be etched forever in the history of the Third College. Everything is setting the stage for me. I've been waiting for this s.h.i.+ning moment for a long time... There can only be one protagonist, and that is me," Mu Xinyue said to herself, silently, in her heart.
She came into the ring and gently pulled up her long hair in a graceful and charming manner.
"Go ahead."
The invigilator's tone softened up a bit because of the girl's startling beauty.
Mu Xinyue pressed her slender hand, white as jade, against the Mystery Energy-testing Stone.
The reddish light soared and pa.s.sed level three.
However, it kept up an amazing speed and surpa.s.sed level four.
Then, with a bang, the reddish light directly broke through the white jade column.
The Mystery Energy-testing Stone gave out a dull sound, plumes of white smoke rising from its top. It completely could not work anymore.
The invigilator froze.
And so did the hundreds of students watching around the ring.
Chu Hen jumped out of his wooden chair as if he had a nail in his b.u.t.t.
An idea flashed through his mind.
With a look of disbelief in his eyes, the grade dean murmured, "Is... is this 'Mystery Energy Explosion'?"
Even Li Qingxuan, the special observer, who had been looking calm, had a look of surprise in his eyes.
In this test, the Mystery Energy-testing Stone was at level four.
That was to say, it was enough to test the Mystery Energy below level five.
The stunning girl directly broke this level four Mystery Energy-testing Stone.
What did that mean?
It meant that her Mystery Energy cultivation
A 14-year-old second grader had reached level five in the Mystery Energy!
With such talent, she could be considered a genius even in the First and Second Colleges.
Unexpectedly, there was such a student in the Third College which was a mess.
"What's her name?" Li Qingxuan asked.
Chu Hen came to his senses, his face covered in uncontrollable ecstasy, and replied, "Mu Xinyue, she's the jewel of our Third College. Her name is Mu Xinyue... Hha, well, Brother Qingxuan, this achievement didn't disappoint you, did it?"
Li Qingxuan nodded and said, "It's indeed a surprise. Show me Mu Xinyue's files."
He would check to make sure that the girl was really a student of the Third College, that she was only 14 years old, and that her age had not been altered.
After a moment, Li Qingxuan, who had read Mu Xinyue's education record, nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Good, with her grades, this girl can be considered a genius in the First and Second Colleges. She's not as good as the top talent, but she's gotten a good chance of getting into the Talent Battle."
That was a pretty high rating.
"Hahaha," laughed Chu Hen.
He said excitedly, "It's rare for you, 'Mean Cold Face', to speak so highly of someone... Good, somebody, take a level five Mystery Energy-testing Stone. We'll continue to test Xinyue's Mystery Energy level."
As if just waking up from the dream, the invigilator beside him immediately moved to take level five Mystery Energy-testing Stone.
Such a situation had never happened in the previous compet.i.tions, so, it was not until more than 10 minutes later that the invigilator put a level five Mystery Energy-testing Stone on the black stone table.
"Come on, Xinyue, don't be nervous, stabilize your mood, take a test again."
Chu Hen's face looked kind and his eyes light up, making him look like a loving old father looking at his daughter.
Mu Xinyue was very calm and pressed her palm on the Mystery Energy-testing Stone again.
The reddish light rose rapidly again.
Under countless gazes, it pa.s.sed the mark of level five without any doubt, and finally stopped at level 5.3, without any fluctuation, for a full 30 seconds.
"Mu Xinyue of Cla.s.s Two, Grade Two, with the Mystery Energy level at 5.3."
The invigilator's voice echoed around the first ring.
Like boiling water, surprise, discussion, quarrel rang out, and completely surrounded the first ring.
All the students could not believe that there was such outstanding talent among their peers.
Wu Xiaofang was totally stunned.
He looked at the radiant maiden on the ring and his heart twisted for some reason.
He thought that with his Mystery Energy of level 4.7, there was no doubt for him to win the first place.
"Unexpectedly, Mu Xinyue..."
"This b.i.t.c.h usually keeps a low profile, and had been calling me Senior Brother."
"At the moment, she suddenly jumped out and took away the glory that should belong to me."
Wu Xiaofang's face was set as if he had eaten a dead rat.
Mu Xinyue got out of the ring and went back to the line. Instead of looking at Wu Xiaofang, she looked at Lin Beichen.
"Now you see why it is impossible between us? Even though you got full marks in three knowledge exams, it won't change anything. Knowledge exams are like children's games, and in this world, the strong people are respected. Even if you are the son of the Heaven-fighting Marquis, you are not worthy of me. Besides, you're nothing now," the girl lightly said with a condescending att.i.tude.
Lin Beichen did not respond to her.
At this time, the invigilator's voice came down from the ring.
"Next, Lin Beichen of Cla.s.s Two, Grade Nine, get on the ring and take the test."
Lin Beichen smiled, ignored Mu Xinyue and walked straight to the ring.
Entering the ring, Lin Beichen walked directly to the level five Mystery Energy-testing Stone.
