Li Ziqi ended the first round and left the classroom.
The surrounding examiners also dispersed, leaving over a hundred examinees behind. At this moment, their hearts were in turmoil and they were unable to calm down.
To speak the truth, when they saw someone younger than them being more outstanding than them, they would be lying if they said they weren't depressed.
The exam continued and it was finally Huang Meibo's turn, Lu Feng's personal disciple.
After 30 breaths, Huang Meibo released three halos and left.
As she walked along the corridor, her expression was grim. In the end, she couldn't hold it in and punched the wall.
F * * *!
She also had four great teacher halos and was one of the better ones among the examinees. But what was the use?
In terms of quantity, she was on par with Zhou Wenbin, but in terms of quality, she was inferior to Li Ziqi. There was simply no highlight. Hence, even if she displayed it on the spot, she wouldn't be able to win the applause.
"There's still the written exam!"
Huang Meibo swore that she would definitely get full marks and shock everyone.
...
Jiang Zizhong's number was slightly behind. When he came out after the exam, it was already noon.
"That Li Ziqi wouldn't stumble and fail in the first round, right?"
Jiang Zizhong mumbled and walked out of the school. He found a small inn by the street and entered. "I wonder how Zhou Wenbin's performance is? I reckon he would be slightly stronger than me, right? "
"Waiter, give me four of your signature dishes."
After Jiang Zizhong called out, he took a pair of chopsticks and twirled them between his fingers while sighing regretfully. It was a pity that he wasn't in the same exam hall as Li Ziqi or he would be able to crush her immediately.
"Sigh, I really want to see her depressed expression!"
Jiang Zizhong sighed, hesitating whether he should order a pot of Nu'er Hong and drink a few cups. In the end, he heard the people beside him talking about the exam in the morning.
"I heard that a teenage female examinee comprehended Unrealized Dream. After executing it, the 5-star main examiner directly broke through his happiness knot and broke through to the next level."
"So amazing?"
"Of course, even Secondary Saint Zhou's beloved grandson was crushed."
In the inn, most of the examinees and their relatives were eating and chatting about what happened in the morning.
When Jiang Zizhong heard this, he frowned. There was such a talented rookie this year?
"I think she's called Li Ziqi? Anyway, her name is nice and she's pretty! "
"How pretty?"
"She's a woman you'll never be able to have in this lifetime!"
As for men, there were only a few topics that never changed. Women, cars, money …
Li Ziqi's super high looks also caused her popularity to soar.
"I will definitely be able to defeat Li Ziqi this time around."
Jiang Zizhong drank some wine and treated it as a form of celebration. But just as he took a sip, he heard the words' Li Ziqi 'drifting over from the side, causing him to choke.
Cough, cough!
"What's the name of the woman who defeated Young Master Zhou?"
Jiang Zizhong asked.
"Li Ziqi!"
After this person spoke, he even added in an understanding manner, "Sun Mo's eldest personal disciple. Do you know who Sun Mo is? God Hands, Sun Sanshou! "
Jiang Zizhong's eyes glazed over. He really wanted to say, "Are you mistaken?"
What capabilities did Li Ziqi have to deserve this?
However, he wasn't the only one. The other customers were also discussing this topic. Li Ziqi and Sun Mo's names kept on being mentioned.
I …
Jiang Zizhong suddenly felt that the Nu 'er Hong in his hand was no longer fragrant.
Pa!
Jiang Zizhong slapped an ingot of silver on the table and stood up to leave.
…
The first day of examinations had ended.
Li Ziqi became famous because of her halo. However, she still maintained a calm heart and studied according to the prescribed order. As for revision?
That didn't exist.
It was because she had already memorized everything in her mind.
After a night of silence, dawn arrived.
The next morning, Sun Mo only arrived at the Golden Sakura Academy when the school gates were about to open. If it wasn't for the fact that carriages were prohibited from traveling in this place for fear of injuring the examinees, Sun Mo wouldn't even want to let the little sunny egg out of the carriage.
Right now, she was the center of attention.
With so many assessing gazes, it might affect her mental state.
"It's so good to have special privileges!"
Xianyu Wei sighed ruefully. It was because Zhou Wenbin could ignore this prohibition and enter the academy in a carriage.
"Time's up, open the school gates!"
As the headteacher announced, the school gates opened.
"Teacher, I'm going!"
Li Ziqi carried her exam basket and joined the queue.
For this stage, they had to conduct a body search and check their belongings to prevent them from bringing in slips of paper and cheating.
Of course, basically, no one would do this. Because once they were caught, not only would they be banned from taking the exam for life, but their direct relatives within three generations would also be blacklisted. Even if they comprehended the self-taught technique, they would still be banned from taking the exam.
The price of cheating was so great that the examinees no longer had any wishful thinking.
…
"Why aren't we in the same examination hall again?"
Jiang Zizhong sat in the classroom and glanced around. He didn't see Li Ziqi and his mood instantly turned bad.
Although the major that the examinees applied for was confidential, Jiang Zizhong didn't need to think to know that Li Ziqi would choose this subject.
Because Sun Mo was a spirit rune quasi-ancestor-level master, someone who could create a miracle like a withered tree coming back to life with spirit runes.
"Forget it, just focus on the exam. The most important thing is to get full marks."
Jiang Zizhong took a few deep breaths and calmed his emotions.
Their Jiang Clan was also proficient in spirit runes.
…
In classroom 302, Zhou Wenbin looked at Li Ziqi who was sitting six rows away from him. His eyes were filled with battle intent.
He was actually proficient in alchemy, but in order to deal a blow to Li Ziqi, he signed up for spirit runes. However, he was still very confident.
Because the Zhou Clan was a great teacher clan, they currently had over 20 great teachers. Among them, there were many high-ranking great teachers who specialized in spirit runes and had already obtained the title of 'grandmaster'.
And his father was one of them.
"This time around, I'm going to beat you up!"
Just as Zhou Wenbin was filled with anticipation, Liu Fan's group of five entered. After the bell rang, the exam papers were distributed.
"So many?"
The examinees were stunned and their hearts wavered. There were a total of 12 exam papers, and they were as thick as bricks.
One hour wasn't enough to answer all of them.
"Tsk, it's been so many years, but the routine is still so boring!"
Because of his family background, Zhou Wenbin had access to a lot of confidential information. He had done many of these exam papers before.
This year's routine was to use a large number of questions to test the students' grasp of spirit runes.
Only those examinees who were so familiar with this knowledge that they could turn it into one plus one equals two would be able to get high marks. They could do what they saw without thinking.
On the second last paper, there were a few questions that tested creativity. This was to test the spirituality of the examinees.
And the last big question was to draw a Rain Prayer Spirit Rune.
This was to test the examinees' practical ability.
"It's stable!"
Zhou Wenbin was at ease. He had never lost to anyone in terms of memory since young.
Time flowed at an unhurried pace.
Almost all the examinees were racing against time, but Zhou Wenbin answered them calmly. He even slowed down his speed so that he could write more beautifully.
"Perfection is what I want."
Zhou Wenbin wanted to turn this exam paper into calligraphy. After a few decades, when he became a saint, this exam paper would definitely be priceless.
Liu Fan walked around the exam hall, patrolling.
When he stood beside Zhou Wenbin and saw the neat exam paper, the beautiful handwriting, and the unaltered answers, he instantly smiled and nodded.
"Outstanding!"
Liu Fan knew that Zhou Wenbin had passed. Then, he subconsciously walked toward Li Ziqi. It was a pity that in order to prevent plagiarism, the students were seated separately. However, the tables were five people to a row, with a total of four rows.
From where Li Ziqi was sitting, Liu Fan could only see the exam paper if he stretched his neck.
But doing so would damage his image.
"What a pity."
Liu Fan felt regretful.
After Zhou Wenbin finished the question on the second last paper, he couldn't help but praise himself.
"It's really perfect. I didn't expect that I'm so outstanding in the study of spirit runes. Why don't I just switch to this subject?"
Zhou Wenbin was most proficient in alchemy, followed by herbology and spirit runes.
"I wonder where Li Ziqi is now?"
Zhou Wenbin lifted his head and glanced at Li Ziqi's back view. Then, he smiled complacently. "But she's definitely not as fast as me. Alright, quickly finish drawing the last spirit rune and hand it in early. I'll show off to her face."
(I admit that your teacher can become a spirit rune quasi-ancestor at 22 years old. It's indeed impressive, but that's not you.)
(Hmph, come, bring her a cup of black tea!)
"Rain Prayer Spirit Rune. Tsk, this test is really unconventional. I reckon that many examinees will stumble due to this big question."
When Zhou Wenbin saw this question, he could guess what the question team was thinking.
Great teachers shouldn't just focus on teaching and educating others. They shouldn't just think about their own growth. They should also put what they learned into practice and care about the common people of the world.
The only effect of the Rain Prayer Spirit Rune was to gather the water vapor in the air and form rain.
Usually, it would only be used in arid regions. Hence, its usage was very low. Most great teachers would at most take a few glances at it and know that it existed, let alone learning it.
There was no solution to it. As long as one could become a great teacher, they might not be extremely wealthy, but it wouldn't be a problem for them to fill their stomachs. Hence, why would people who didn't starve study such minor spirit runes?
Zhou Wenbin lifted his brush and recalled the structure of the Rain Prayer Spirit Rune in his mind. At the same time, he was filled with gratitude toward his father.
Because the first spirit rune he learned was this!
"Spirit runes are a method to change the world, and the purpose of changing the world is to let the people have enough to eat and wear, to live a better life."
His father, who was already a great spirit rune master, said.
"Our Zhou family is so kind. Serves them right for having a few secondary saints. You're just an inferior person with no talent, yet you want to slap my great-grandfather's face? What wishful thinking. "
After Zhou Wenbin finished his thoughts and put down his brush, he heard a boom.
This was the sound of spirit qi exploding.
This was the phenomenon of spirit qi gathering after the spirit rune was completed.
(Who is this? Why didn't he follow the prescribed order and completed the last big question first?)
Zhou Wenbin felt depressed and lifted his head to look.
(He actually created a spirit qi tornado?)
(But no matter how high the grade of the spirit rune you drew is, you won't be able to answer all the previous questions in the remaining time. Hence, I'll still win for sure.)
Ga!
Zhou Wen Bin's heart was filled with a sense of superiority, but when he saw Li Ziqi sitting at the bottom of the spirit qi tornado, his heart skipped a beat.
He felt as if someone had kicked him in the chest.
F * * *!
Why is it her?
