Chapter 64 After the Exam
Chapter 64 After the Exam
Early the next morning, a large red paper was posted on the bulletin board, announcing the rankings of the "Great Wilderness Journey Mock Exam".
On a red paper six feet wide and more than two zhang long, each score for the four subjects was the size of a fist. The zeros in the divination section were shocking to the eye, while the three high scores hanging high in the upper left corner were the envy of countless people.
350+ means that these three have already secured a ticket to the Illusionary Realm next year. However, the crowd swarming around the bulletin board ignored them all, with everyone's eyes fixed on the fourth-place finisher, even though that person only had a score of 340.
"Fourth place, Cai Fei from the Earth Class, with a score of 100 in numerology, 100 in the four arts of cultivation, 65 in the Great Wilderness, and 75 in the Introduction to Another World, for a total score of 340."
The 100 in numerology, in particular, stood out starkly against the backdrop of a sea of 0s, radiating an almost blinding brilliance that completely overshadowed the top three.
"I heard Fang Yingyue got one question wrong?"
"Huang Pang criticized him. He was just bragging that he thought Cai Fei's answer made sense, so he reminded Fang Yingyue to redo it, and in the end, it was proven that Cai Fei was right."
"Fatty Huang gets yelled at like a dog by Fang Yingyue every day, but now he's in for at least three months to gloat!"
"I'm truly impressed. This kid handed in his paper half an hour early and still got full marks..."
"You handed in your paper half an hour early? You really?"
"How could it be fake? I left the exam hall right after him, and I only got 17 points..."
"So you're his grandson, and he calls himself his father, hahahaha..."
........................................................................
Those chatting and laughing in front of the red list were mostly students with little hope. These people didn't have much hope for Group A anyway. After making a ruckus in front of the list for a while, they gradually dispersed, and in the end, only a dozen or so people remained, including several promising students from Group E.
Feng Xiangguo and Wei Yiye did well, ranking 12th and 9th respectively. Considering they wasted a lot of time earlier, if they continue to work hard, their rankings should be able to improve. Both of them have a good chance.
"Being smart is unavoidable," Feng Xiangguo said loudly, putting his arm around Wei Yiye's shoulder and deliberately standing behind Chen Xuanbiao. "You can just play around and still pass the test, unlike some people who have to wag their tails and still only get 40 points, haha! The Great Wilderness Gate is open to me, looks like your grandpa has no choice but to go! Poor grandpa, I'm completely unprepared, what am I going to do?"
Chen Xuanbiao had never been treated like this before. His face hardened, he turned around and said coldly, "Get the money ready first, you little brat!"
"Money?" Feng Xiangguo laughed heartily, patting Wei Yiye on the shoulder. "Your grandpa has many brothers, tens of thousands of cultivators in Aolai, are we afraid of not having a million?"
"Too bad, he wouldn't follow anyone but you." Cai Fei's propaganda had already spread, and Chen Xuanbiao had naturally heard it. He sneered and patted Wei Yiye's shoulder. "Cai Fei has a chance, and this brother is so handsome, if he's willing to sell his ass, he also has a chance. As for you, hehe, when the time comes, kneel down and lick my shoes, maybe I can introduce you to someone who recognizes a thief as their father!"
As soon as Chen Xuanbiao finished speaking, he left with a cold laugh, leaving Feng Xiangguo gritting his teeth and jumping up and down cursing.
Compared to Feng and Wei, Li Fengping felt much heavier.
"47" Looking at the bright red failing number after her divination column, Li Fengping stood in front of the red list for a long time. Finally, she looked at Wei Yiye's score and his high ranking of eighth. She frowned and walked back to the Diziban Mountain.
In comparison, Yu Qianqian was much calmer; she had even dressed up specially for the occasion.
With her hair piled high, wearing a crimson robe with dark cloud patterns and a pair of high-heeled boots that reflect the sun and chase the wind, her already tall and outstanding figure became even more eye-catching. Compared to the group of classmates in gray robes around her, she stood out like a crane among chickens.
However, she didn't stand there for long. She only glanced at her name, which was ranked 31st, and then coldly swept her gaze across the ranks ahead before walking away.
Before returning to her class, Yu Qianqian went to the post station near the academy's main gate. Early in the morning, the post station was packed with people. After the mock exam, everyone was busy sending messages home. Yu Qianqian strode in, and seeing her presence, the people around her unconsciously made way for her.
Yu Qianqian stood by the counter at the post station, took out a talisman, scribbled a short message with a pen, and sent the message after spending a few spirit stones.
With a score in the thirties, there's definitely no hope. The divination exam is so difficult, yet there was no prior information. We need to let the Yao family know that this isn't just her problem!
He can't just do nothing and struggle here alone!
After sending the message, Yu Qianqian strode towards Zaoxiuping.
Your fate is still in your own hands, but you really can't afford to waste a single minute.
The key is still divination.
43 points!
Haha, it's a good thing I still get tutoring from Cai Fei for an hour every day, what a joke.
Thinking of Cai Fei's dazzling 100 points, Yu Qianqian walked even faster.
If you lack intelligence, you have to make up for it with hard work. We need to get Cai Fei to increase the amount of work. One hour is not enough; we need at least two hours!
Unbeknownst to Yu Qianqian, at this very moment, Cai Fei, whom she was repeatedly talking about, was also frowning deeply, and his head was even more painful than hers.
Just now, the big shot Kong Fande personally rode his flying sword to Huaguo Mountain, summoned him under the guise of a relative, and met him at the entrance of the academy, where he told Cai Fei about the attack on Wujialing.
He was also given a sound transmission talisman, twenty escape talismans, and a very serious warning: "Their target is you. Never leave the academy, and try not to be alone while you are there!"
Through the talisman, the old mountain lord's voice was calm but weary: "Everything is fine at home. We've moved to Chu Family Village. With Huihui looking after us, you can rest assured."
Things turned out completely unexpectedly for Cai Fei. He clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white.
"Were they assassins hired by Xingyue?" Seeing the boss nod and then shake his head, Cai Fei asked, puzzled, "Besides Xingyue, who else wants to kill me?"
"The one standing behind them is Xingyue, but this time it's the Thirteen Families who are showing up." With the help of his traitorous lackey Yu, Kong Fande had already found out the details.
"In the past, there was internal strife in Wujiazhai. In the end, thirteen powerful families replaced the Xu family and formed the Thirteen Families. They were extremely wary of Wujialing and pursued the remnants of the Xu family for decades. It was I who stepped in and used the name of Fengyulou to save the Xu family's bloodline. But before, only Ping'an, the only old man left, was spared because of Fengyulou. Now that you have appeared, of course they want to kill you to feel at ease."
"Xingyue's expansion has also accelerated recently. Before the ban was lifted, there were only three or five of them in Aolai, but they had already caused chaos in the north. In the past few months, at least thirty or fifty people have come in. If this continues, I'm afraid that in less than ten years, Aolai will be Xingyue's territory."
Kong Fande left with a worried expression. Cai Fei stood quietly for a moment, then returned to the cave where the Earth Class lived together and immediately set up several defensive formations around his small room.
