In the evening, Lan Ling took a carriage to the Royal City Academy to take part in the first exam of the night.
At the same time, the bet between him and Zhi Ning had spread throughout half the city in just half a day.
As it was too shocking, as long as Lan Ling won, he could kiss any part of Zhi Ning's body. Immediately, countless men had the most lewd fantasies. Without exception, they all fantasized about Zhi Ning's most seductive and private parts.
As soon as Jinning calmed down after returning to the princess's mansion, she regretted making the bet. Even if Sauron lost, it would still cause great damage to her pure and clean reputation.
However, when she faced Søren, it was really difficult for her to maintain her previous calmness and wisdom. In particular, his gaze kept staring at her buttocks and even between her thighs.
However, overall, the bet was still beneficial. At least it could make Søren give up Tianshui City justifiably. This was the most important thing. As for her reputation, it was the sacrifice she had made for Brother Zhi Li's strategy.
"Princess, it's almost time to go to the Royal City Academy," the eunuch said outside. "There are only three hours left until the first exam."
"Let's go..." Zhi Ning got up and walked outside. She wanted to witness the destruction of the Suo family in the exam hall.
More than an hour before the first exam, Lan Ling arrived at the Royal City Academy.
At this time, the bet between him and Zhi Ning had spread throughout the entire Royal City. Instantly, he once again enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. Almost all the students were pointing at him.
The male students were extremely sarcastic. Everyone knew about Søren's results. He was neither good at literature nor martial arts, and the only thing he was good at was painting. However, in order to hit on Teacher Niya, he had chosen music as an elective in the art course, so he had been ranked last for a long time.
That's right, the real last place. He had been studying at the Royal City Academy for six years, and every year, he had been ranked last in the year-end exam.
With his results, it would be impossible for him to pass the exam. As for obtaining the Noble Warrior Medal, he probably wouldn't even dare to dream about it.
The female students looked at Lan Ling with sympathy. After all, Søren was so handsome, and now he was going to lose his territory and title.
Lan Ling completely ignored these gazes and entered the Noble Academy branch, directly entering the examination hall.
The exam for the noble branch of the Royal City Academy was divided into four rounds. The first round was the basic theory exam, the second on politics, the third on art, and the fourth on martial arts.
The first two rounds were conducted by all the noble schools together, and the content was exactly the same.
The third and fourth round depended on the students' respective elective subjects. For example, Lan Ling's third exam was on music, and her fourth exam was on archery.
The first round of basic theory was 200 points, the second round of political theory was 100 points, the third round of art electives was 100 points, and the fourth round of martial arts was 200 points.
Tonight was the first round, the basic theory exam. More than two hundred aristocratic academies would be held in a large examination hall.
The entire examination hall was huge, at least a few thousand square meters. Every student was at least a few meters away from each other, and they were separated by partitions. It was impossible to copy.
Moreover, there were ten spiritual-type cultivators and more than ten patrolling invigilators in the examination hall.
Therefore, any possibility of cheating was completely eliminated.
Lan Ling found his seat and sat down. He found that it was a small cubicle. Other than the back, the other three sides were sealed.
He took a deep breath. The content of this basic theory exam was very complicated. From history to geography, to martial arts theory, to philosophy, to basic mathematics, everything was covered.
For the other students, this was perhaps the easiest test. For Lan Ling, this was the most disadvantageous one out of the four exams.
This was because Lan Ling had only been in this world for a few months, and this world had thousands of years of history. The geographical knowledge was extremely complicated, and he had to memorize everything by rote. However, what Lan Ling lacked the most was time.
As the time of the exam approached, dozens of examiners entered one after another.
Ten of them were instructors from the royal academy, five from the cabinet and the royal family, and the other five were cultivators from the Dragon Temple.
Princess Zhi Ning represented the royal family. She sat in the center with one of the high-level cultivators from the Dragon Temple, supervising the entire exam.
After the exam, twenty examiners would mark the papers on the spot, and the scores would be out in two hours. In short, everything was fair, just, and open.
After Princess Zhi Ning sat down on the high platform, she instinctively searched for Søren's position.
"Dong, dong, dong …" The bell rang.
The first basic theory exam officially began.
Ten instructors from the royal academy handed down the questions for the first exam. There were four large sheets.
There was one for history, geography, literature, philosophy, and mathematics, and the time limit was three hours.
After receiving the four sheets, Lan Ling briefly looked at the questions. Then, the other aristocratic students cried out.
That was because the questions this time were very difficult, especially the literature, philosophy, and basic mathematics. For Lan Ling, the literature and philosophy of this world were almost born out of ancient times on Earth. He was a screenwriting student at a key university, so of course it was easy for him to answer these questions.
As for basic mathematics, it might be more difficult for the examinees in this world. But for Lan Ling, it was the kind of question that he could answer with his eyes closed.
That was because the basic mathematics of this world was created by His Majesty, the Dragon Emperor, and he was probably a liberal arts student. Moreover, there was not much progress in mathematics in this world over the past thousands of years.
So, to put it bluntly, Lan Ling's mathematics level surpassed that of His Majesty, the Dragon Emperor. Therefore, the so-called difficult questions in this mathematics exam were at most at the level of a junior high student on Earth.
But … the questions that were the easiest for other students in this world, such as geography and history, were the most difficult for Lan Ling. After all, he really did not have the time to memorize history from a few years ago and geography that was more than tens of thousands of miles long.
"Dong …" Another bell rang, and everyone began to answer the questions.
Lan Ling started from the easy questions to the difficult ones. In less than 20 minutes, he finished all the basic mathematics questions and guaranteed a full score of 50 points.
Then, he spent another 30 minutes to finish the literature and philosophy questions. He could not guarantee a full score, but he could guarantee a full score from 45 points onwards.
After finishing half of the questions, he only used less than one-third of the time.
Next, he started to answer the history and geography questions.
The history questions were also 50 points. Lan Ling first completed the questions that he was guaranteed to be correct, so he had about 35 points. The remaining 15 points were the questions that he did not have much confidence in.
After all, the knowledge of this world's history was dozens of thick books. It was impossible for Lan Ling to memorize all of them in a short period of a few months.
"Eros, do you know how to answer these questions?" The first thing that came to Lan Ling's mind was Eros.
Eros was silent for a moment. He was probably speechless. Then he replied, "I don't know at all."
There was no other way. Lan Ling could only rely on himself. The remaining 15 points had to rely on guessing and guessing.
He spent a full hour on the history question. The remaining time for the exam was about an hour and ten minutes.
Finally, he began to answer questions related to geography.
Perhaps the teachers in other countries did not pay so much attention to geography. But the Raging Wave Kingdom would definitely pay attention to it because its territory had been expanding in the past hundred years. Many territories that originally belonged to the barbarians were constantly becoming the territories of the kingdom.
Moreover, for the Raging Wave Kingdom, geography had always been intertwined with military affairs.
Using the same method, he finished all the questions that he was confident in in the shortest time. But this time, it seemed to be even worse. He was relatively confident in the geography questions, but he only got 30 points. He was not confident in the remaining 20 points.
For questions that he was not confident in, he could only rely on one word: guess.
Relying on his first instinct, Lan Ling finished all the remaining questions that he was not confident in.
At this time, there was still about half an hour before the end of the exam. Lan Ling looked up and found that many people had already handed in their papers. Moreover, many noble students seemed very relaxed because they could graduate smoothly as long as they passed.
Even some students who wanted to inherit the noble title could take the exam again next year.
The only difference was Lan Ling. If he did not achieve the best, he would lose his title and the century-old foundation of the Suo family.
Gradually, almost all the students had handed in their papers, but Lan Ling was still answering and checking.
Seeing this scene, all the students were no exception. Søren, this trash, only knew how to flirt all day long. Even the simplest basic theoretical knowledge exam, let alone passing. Questions that were 200 points had never exceeded 80 points, so it was normal that he did not finish answering.
Seeing this scene, Zhi Ning slightly pursed her lips and gave a disdainful smile. Sure enough. Søren, this trash, only knew how to talk. Even the simplest basic theory exam was so useless.
Finally, a few minutes before the end of the exam, Lan Ling put down his pen and handed in the questions.
...
Next, the twenty examiners would mark the papers and announce the scores on the spot.
And all the students would leave the examination hall and wait outside for the results. In at most two hours, all the scores would be announced.
Of course, some students did not wait and left to go home. And most of the noble students who stayed behind were presumably not waiting for their own scores, but Søren's.
Although in the hearts of all the students, Søren would definitely not pass the graduation exam and would lose his title and territory.
But since they were idle, they would just treat it as watching a show.
...
In less than two hours, the twenty examiners in the examination hall had finished marking the papers.
Finally, the cultivators who handed in their papers to the Dragon Temple would conduct a final supervision and preview. After confirming that the results were correct, they would announce it on the spot.
After another half an hour, all the scores were written on the big list and posted outside.
The moment it was posted, more than a hundred noble students rushed over. No one looked at their own scores first, but at Søren's.
Who asked Søren to open such a big bet and let the whole Royal City know?
Before the results were out, Lan Ling estimated his score. It was around 168, the full score was 200.
After the list was posted, Lan Ling did not have time to look at it when he suddenly heard a burst of exclamations.
"How is this possible? Sauron actually scored 172 points in the test? Am I seeing things? "Among them, one noble student exclaimed.
