To Li Xiang, 15.7 m/s was a very exaggerated number, but he did not know the specific evaluation criteria. He could only wait until the exam was over and try to ask Fei Yujing.
Now, there was only the third exam left, nerve reaction speed.
He took out his admission ticket, and on it was written Exam Room VI. Just as he was about to walk there, he saw the bearded man from the military walking towards him.
"Follow me." The bearded man waved at Li Xiang, his voice cold. He immediately ran over and followed behind the man.
"In a while, we'll enter the specialized nerve reaction testing room. Chief Examiner Bai Yuhan will personally test you. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't say what you shouldn't say, understand?" The man's voice was slightly gentler as he reminded him, "You must do your best for Houcheng."
Li Xiang nodded and followed the man into a spacious room about a hundred square meters. Before sending him in, the bearded man patted him hard on the shoulder and whispered, "Go, remember what I told you just now."
"Yes." Li Xiang entered the room with his head held high. What greeted his eyes was a strange steam equipment that looked like a huge boiler. The walls were transparent, and he could see the internal mechanical devices. Many metal pipes extended from the inside, constantly shooting out white gas columns.
Standing beside the steam machine were six examiners. Li Xiang noticed that the sexy woman who collected the test papers was among them. She was wearing a white professional suit with a white dragon imprint on her collar. It was the same imprint as the one on the airship.
The examiners obviously followed her lead. Li Xiang guessed that she should be the Chief Examiner Bai Yuhan that everyone kept talking about.
These people all looked serious and had an amazing aura. As a person who had lived two lives, Li Xiang was very sensitive to the special aura of those in power. Realizing the special identity of the group of people in front of him, he immediately stopped smiling and was ready for battle.
Bai Yuhan glanced at Li Xiang, then walked straight to the steam equipment. Behind her sat a woman wearing only a singlet. Her body was muscular and had the same white dragon tattoo on her arm.
"Supreme White Monarch." Bai Yuhan placed her right hand on her chest and whispered to the woman.
"Supreme White King." The woman responded respectfully. After the two greeted each other, the woman stood up and moved aside.
Da —
With a soft sound, Bai Yuhan turned on the switch at the back of the steam equipment.
The room instantly darkened, and the loud sound of gears turning slowly rang out. The white gas pillars that were spurting out had all disappeared, and they were replaced by gas pillars that could vaguely be seen from the metal tubes.
"Remember, once the chief examiner says start, you have to try your best to dodge these air pillars with your body. You have one minute to do so," one of the chief examiners said coldly. "Do you understand?"
"Understood." Li Xiang nodded and looked at the steam equipment in front of him.
"Begin." Bai Yuhan's voice was very indifferent. There was a hint of charm in her coldness.
Li Xiang's body quickly tensed up. With a light cracking sound, he saw the metal pipes on the steam equipment suddenly shoot out many air columns, coming towards him from all directions!
His mind buzzed, and his body suddenly became incomparably heavy. His breathing became rapid, but his mind was incomparably clear.
He used his nerves to drive his body's movements!
These gas pillars were of different speeds and directions. Some were parallel, while some were intersecting. Li Xiang felt his mind go blank. The tracks of the gas pillars that were originally almost invisible to the naked eye suddenly became very clear, and their speed slowed down significantly.
Psst!
The first gas pillar blasted onto Li Xiang's body, followed by the second and third …
At the same time, his body began to move frantically, leaving behind a faint afterimage on the spot. This made the chief examiners squint their eyes instantly.
"This kid can still have such clear thinking and agile speed under such a high load of gravity …" The woman standing beside Bai Yuhan watched the famous witch controlling the steam equipment while carefully observing Li Xiang's movements.
Time passed by minute by minute. Li Xiang used his extraordinary mental reaction speed to dodge these gas pillars, but most of the time, he was surrounded and bombarded by countless gas pillars.
"Beep —" The mechanical clock on the steam equipment sounded an alarm, and all the gas pillars suddenly disappeared. The one minute time limit was up.
Bai Yuhan got up and glanced at Li Xiang from the corner of her eye. She didn't say anything and just waved her hand. The chief examiners immediately gathered around, and Li Xiang was ordered to leave.
He also stole a glance at Bai Yuhan. When their eyes met again, he immediately looked away and quietly left the room.
After Li Xiang left, one of the chief examiners clicked his tongue in admiration.
"He dodged a total of fifteen times in one minute! I remember that the standard for a Level-1 Magic Apprentice is ten times. This means that as long as he puts in a little more effort, he can break through to a Level-1 Magic Apprentice before he can connect the magic circuits. " One of the chief examiners from Hou City was secretly delighted, but his face was still serious. "His results are not bad. If his academic results are passable, it won't be a problem for him to get into a good university."
Hearing his deliberately reserved praise, the other chief examiners from other cities cursed in their hearts. You call these results not bad? This guy's heart was probably blooming with joy.
These chief examiners were thinking about the impact of the examinees' quality on the city and the commotion Li Xiang might cause. Bai Yuhan, on the other hand, was silent. After a long time, she said coldly, "How it really is depends on tomorrow's magic circuit test. Just looking at the physical test results, it's only so-so."
The chief examiners nodded in agreement, but they were shocked speechless. These results were so-so? She was indeed a big shot from the Bai family. She was comparing Li Xiang with the geniuses from the seed cities in the north.
After the chief examiners left one by one, the woman who had been controlling the steam equipment asked in a low voice, "Yuhan, is it him?"
"I don't know. I didn't see the awakening mark on him, but after a day, he's the most likely. The Book of Prophecy can't be wrong."
"Maybe it's on his private parts."
"I hope so." Bai Yuhan was still expressionless, as cold as the moon.
After leaving the gymnasium, Li Xiang quickly saw Fei Yujing at the door. She waved at him with a smile, her youthful and energetic appearance attracting the attention of many examinees.
"How was it? I heard that you were selected by Chief Examiner Bai Yuhan for the test." Fei Yujing looked envious as she walked beside him and asked in a low voice.
"You already know." Li Xiang was a little speechless. This news really spread quickly. He smiled. "It's okay. How about you?"
"I don't think my strength is too good. I performed normally, but my reaction speed test this year is so difficult …" Fei Yujing complained in a low voice as the two walked side by side to the school gate. Li Xiang found out from her that the normal reaction speed test only had one air column, but most examinees couldn't dodge it.
"Okay, it's all in the past." Li Xiang comforted her. When the two arrived at the school gate, they saw the black steam locomotive that had come to pick up Fei Yujing. The design was similar to the cars in his previous life, but the mechanical roar and steam power made him feel like he was watching a sci-fi movie.
"See you tomorrow." Fei Yujing said to him with a blushing face. Suddenly, she tiptoed and lightly touched his lips. Then, she ran to the steam locomotive without looking back.
Li Xiang was stunned. He touched his lips with his finger and looked at the steam locomotive leaving in a cloud of dust. He suddenly smiled.
It was almost nine o 'clock. If the world hadn't changed, he and his sister would be renting a rented house that was less than ten square meters near the school. When he turned eighteen, he left the orphanage with his sister. After he failed the college entrance examination, the two left Hou City and went to a farther city. They rented a rented house that was only a few square meters. He worked several jobs and lived a hard life, but it was the happiest time in his memory.
Then, he met the "tarot card" people. His life changed, and his peaceful days were gone forever. Thinking of his sister's suicide attempt, Li Xiang's heart suddenly tightened.
However, it wasn't time to go home yet. The exam tomorrow was in the afternoon. He had to go to the nearby library to borrow a few books to understand this world.
In a situation where everything was unknown, it wasn't safe to ask someone rashly. With the experience of his previous life, Li Xiang became unusually vigilant and careful. He didn't want any unexpected situations to ruin his current life.
"I remember it should be nearby." After Li Xiang left the school, he wandered around and quickly found the nearby library. There was still some time before it closed, so many examinees chose to come here to recharge their knowledge.
Other than the steampunk style that could be seen everywhere, there were also some strange words that popped out of people's mouths. Overall, it was still within Li Xiang's acceptable range. The world was different, but the interpersonal relationships were still the same. After understanding it, he could slowly adapt to life.
He clenched his fists. This life, it was time to live a little differently.
There were many examinees coming and going in the library. When they saw Li Xiang, they whispered a few words. There were also a few high school classmates. Unfortunately, he was a loner in school and didn't have many friends. When they met, they didn't greet each other.
Li Xiang heard that they were mostly talking about him being tested by Bai Yuhan. There were envy, jealousy, and all kinds of emotions, but he didn't really care.
Because he had an examinee's admission ticket, he could borrow books from the library for free and take them home. These kinds of books on world history and civilization were popular science and could be seen everywhere. He crazily crammed them and took a thick stack.
The examinees who occasionally passed by kept pointing at him with a trace of doubt in their eyes. Tomorrow was the magic circuit exam. Did people come here to read these books to relieve pressure?
Taking the stack of books with him, he got up and prepared to read them at home.
The most important thing was the magic circuit exam tomorrow. It was similar to a talent test. Once you failed, no matter how good you were before, you were doomed to not be able to take the best route.
Li Xiang casually picked up a book about introducing the universities on the various continents. He also had to study this carefully. It was related to filling in his application.
