"Where did you go just now?"
Gu Xiuxun casually asked.
Usually, after the exam, they would first ask about the results. However, the masochist believed that Sun Mo would definitely pass.
"Just strolling around!"
Although he had saved a girl, Sun Mo wasn't someone who liked to show off.
"Why don't I believe it?"
Gu Xiuxun forcefully sniffed. After that, she moved in front of Sun Mo and sniffed again. "You couldn't have gone to seduce some girl, right?"
Sun Mo jumped in fright and subconsciously wanted to lift his arm to take a sniff. (Could it be that the smell of rouge on that girl's body has gotten onto me?)
"Aiya, you really went to seduce a girl?"
Gu Xiuxun was originally only joking, but after seeing Sun Mo's reaction, she was shocked.
"..."
Sun Mo was speechless. He really wanted to ask, 'Are all women monsters? Are they born with the ability to catch girls? ' However, he still hurriedly explained.
"Enough, I'm just joking with you!"
The masochist laughed. "Look at how scared you are. Don't worry, I won't tell Sister Xinhui. Come, let's go eat and prepare for the exam in the afternoon. Let me tell you, the exam this year will definitely be extremely difficult!"
After a simple lunch, Gu Xiuxun and Sun Mo randomly found a place and rested for a while. After that, they headed to the examination venue.
For the written exam, the examinees would participate in the written exam of the subject they had registered for.
Although Sun Mo's art of spiritual beast control was at the grandmaster-grade, he had used it too little. Hence, he still registered for the study of spirit runes.
The examination venue was still a 500-seat lecture theater. After Sun Mo found room 401 and entered, he saw tens of familiar faces from the morning exam.
The study of spirit runes was a major subject that was only inferior to alchemy and weaponsmithing. Hence, there was a very high chance that he would encounter examinees from the same examination venue.
"Do you see that? That's Sun Mo! "
"Is it that Sun Mo who acts like a dog in front of the door?"
"That's him!"
The examinees mumbled to themselves. However, after Gu Qingyan entered, all their attention was turned to him.
At 2 am, the bell rang punctually. Tang Nian and two examiners whom Sun Mo had never seen before entered the lecture theater punctually.
Sun Mo felt a little regretful that he didn't see that beautiful lady. After all, no one would want their examiner to be so serious and expressionless.
"During the written examination, you are not allowed to whisper to one another, glance around, or cheat. Once discovered, you will be permanently stripped of your qualifications to participate in the great teacher examination."
Tang Nian announced.
The examiners were in charge of the subjects they were good at, so it was very difficult for students to cheat in front of them.
"The examination time is three hours!"
After Tang Nian spoke, the other two examiners started to distribute the examination papers.
The examinees, who were already feeling apprehensive, suddenly screamed when they received the test papers.
"Oh my god, so thick?"
An examinee in the front row looked at the ten sheets of paper and almost broke down. Not only were there a lot of papers, but they were also huge. One could draw a picture of the nine provinces galloping horses on them.
"Silence! Whoever makes any more noise will be directly expelled from the examination venue!"
Tang Nian roared.
The classroom instantly quietened down, and then it was as if it was shrouded by a low pressure. The atmosphere was terrifyingly heavy.
Every examinee was as though they were facing a great enemy, immersing themselves in a bitter battle.
Gu Qingyan received the exam papers and casually glanced through them. After that, a smile appeared on his face. Luckily, it wasn't difficult. However, when he flipped to the seventh page, he frowned.
From here onward, the difficulty of the questions clearly showed a dividing line.
The Saint Gate's examination this year was as he had expected. Many people would be eliminated.
"But even if I can't get full marks, I'm still number one!"
Gu Qingyan smiled confidently. (It's impossible for anyone to score higher than me. No, I shouldn't be thinking like this. I should work hard to get full marks.)
Sun Mo sat in the middle row. After receiving the exam papers, he couldn't even be bothered to flip through them and directly started answering them.
He had a grandmaster-grade knowledge in the study of spirit runes. Moreover, in order to give a good lecture to students and not lose face, he had immersed himself in the library and read all the relevant books. In fact, he even went to the old headmaster's private library to read some books on the study of spirit runes.
Other than this, Sun Mo had simplified spirit runes before and even designed three spirit runes through the spirit rune design template. Right now, his grasp of spirit runes had long since surpassed basic knowledge and he had his own understanding.
Hence, Sun Mo was very confident that he could answer the questions casually.
Sun Mo, who had started answering, didn't notice that Tang Nian was frowning as he looked at him.
"This Sun Mo is truly very confident!"
Tang Nian didn't know what to say. Sun Mo's performance in the morning was very good, so Tang Nian took a few more glances. After that, he saw Sun Mo answering the questions directly.
How confident was he?
Even Gu Qingyan wouldn't dare to be so reckless!
Why would the majority of people flip through the exam papers before answering?
It was because they wanted to have a rough idea of the number of questions and estimate the time. If it wasn't enough, they would do what they were good at first.
This was especially so for this year's exam questions.
Because the Saint Gate wanted to control the passing rate, the questions they set were extremely difficult. Moreover, the number of questions was extremely large.
Even 2-star great teachers who were good at the study of spirit runes would only be able to finish the questions within three hours. They wouldn't even have the time to check if there were any mistakes.
Hence, for this exam, not only did one have to rely on their strength, but they also had to rely on their battle tactics. Not only did they have to choose what they were good at, but they also had to choose questions with high marks.
It was because it was impossible for them to finish answering questions normally.
After the exam papers were distributed, it was time to answer the questions. In the entire classroom, other than the sound of brushes rubbing against the paper, there was only the sound of breathing.
Tang Nian walked to and fro, patrolling the classroom. He was so imposing that he was like a lion patrolling its territory!
As time passed, the speed at which some examinees answered the questions started to slow down. Moreover, anxious expressions appeared on their faces.
Some people panicked. Their eyes were dazed and they put down their brushes, on the verge of giving up. As for some people, they were putting up a final struggle. At the very least, they had done what they knew.
"How difficult!"
Tang Nian sighed and silently said for these examinees.
In order to keep it a secret, this was the first time Tang Nian was seeing the exam papers. Honestly speaking, if these questions were placed in his 1-star great teacher examination back then, he reckoned that he would only be able to get 70 marks.
Tang Nian walked to Gu Qingyan's side and stopped, admiring Gu Qingyan's answer.
His sitting posture was beautiful, and his expression was calm. Also, his handwriting already had the demeanor of a famous expert. The most important thing was that his speed hadn't slowed down at all.
"As expected of a top graduate from the Skyraise Academy!"
Tang Nian walked to Sun Mo's side. After he lowered his head and took a look, he was stunned.
This seemed to be the seventh exam paper?
To think that he was even faster than Gu Qingyan?
(Wait a minute, what am I thinking? He must be doing what he knows. As for Gu Qingyan, he must be doing everything.)
Tang Nian took a closer look and couldn't help but frown. Sun Mo's answering speed wasn't slow either. It was already the seventh exam paper and the difficulty had increased, yet he could still maintain this speed. Could it be that he was a genius?
However, very soon, Tang Nian didn't reject this thought. It was because Sun Mo basically didn't think at all. He just wrote the answers after seeing the questions.
Clearly, he had given up.
"Sigh, seems like I've made the same mistake as Teacher Mei this morning. I've made a mistake!"
Tang Nian shook his head.
Actually, one couldn't blame Tang Nian for thinking this way. It was like when you were doing addition and subtraction. Even if you were doing mental calculations, you'd still need a few seconds to think, right?
However, Sun Mo didn't.
His grandmaster-grade knowledge in the study of spirit runes in addition to Sun Mo's outstanding talent allowed him to handle these questions effortlessly.
When Sun Mo finished looking at the questions, he already found the corresponding answers in his mind. There was no solution to it. Sun Mo's mind had stored too much knowledge in it.
Right now, Sun Mo felt like a professional boxer beating up a primary school student. Moreover, it was a disabled primary school student!
Very soon, Sun Mo reached the last question and his brush stopped for a moment.
Tang Nian came over again. When he saw that Sun Mo was doing the last question, he started for a moment and couldn't help but shake his head.
(You haven't even finished the earlier questions. Why are you looking at the final question?)
(This is simply a waste of time!)
(You can't possibly think that you'll get bonus points if you solve this question, right?)
"If this Sun Mo is eliminated, he'll become the laughing stock of the great teacher world in the future!"
Tang Nian's lips twitched. It was fine if any examinee failed, but it was different for Sun Mo. Who asked him to say that he was like a dog in front of the Jiang Manor?
If one didn't have the capabilities and wanted to act cool, this would be the outcome.
After Tang Nian circled around, he couldn't help but return to Gu Qingyan's side. It was truly a type of enjoyment to see such excellent students answering questions!
"Excellent!"
When Tang Nian saw the interesting parts, he almost cheered loudly.
"Head Examiner Tang!"
Another young examiner called out.
"What's the matter?"
Tang Nian's spirit stirred. His sharp gaze swept through the surroundings. Could it be that someone had been discovered cheating?
"Sun Mo has raised his hand and wants to hand in his exam paper in advance!"
The young examiner explained in a low voice.
However, no matter how soft his voice was, the examinees at the side could hear it. Hence, their gazes turned toward Sun Mo.
(This fellow has given up, right? If not, why would he hand in his exam paper in advance?)
(He must have sensed that there's no hope!)
However, the questions this year were truly difficult.
Some examinees who still had hope glanced at Sun Mo and continued to answer the questions.
Gu Qingyan frowned slightly, but he didn't lift his head.
"Are you sure?"
Tang Nian asked. Honestly speaking, he still hoped that Sun Mo would put in more effort.
"I'm sure!"
Sun Mo nodded. Since he had already finished, what was the point of staying? Checking it again?
Please, it was such a simple question. Even if he made a few mistakes, he would definitely pass.
"You can leave now!"
As Tang Nian spoke, he took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. Right now, there was still close to an hour before the end of the exam.
Sun Mo packed his things and left the classroom. A few examinees who were destined to fail also raised their hands, wanting to hand in their exam papers.
Initially, they felt embarrassed to leave in advance. But since Sun Mo had taken the lead, it didn't matter anymore.
"Move faster and leave quietly. Don't disturb others!"
Tang Nian instructed.
Huala!
Seven examinees stood up. After they left, they saw Sun Mo walking leisurely in front of them. Hence, they chased after him.
"Sun Mo, that sentence of yours is like a dog in front of the door is really awesome!"
"Don't be discouraged, we still have four more chances. Let's fight again next year!"
"Yes, we will go back this year. Work hard and stay in the library every day. We will definitely get full marks next year!"
Because they were all examinees who were destined to fail, everyone had a common topic and encouraged each other.
"..."
For a time, Sun Mo didn't know how to reply. (I wonder if I will be beaten up by them if I say I will pass?)
