“How is it? What’s Mo Xiao’s reaction now?”
Outside the viewing stand, Chu Feng quietly watched the square not far away and asked in a low voice.
“Um…” The assistant scratched his head awkwardly when he heard Chu Feng’s question. “That Mo Xiao seems to have run away.”
“Run away? Run away?!” Chu Feng’s eyes widened instantly when he heard this. “How could he have run away? Didn’t I already order that no examinees should leave the examination area?”
The assistant replied with a wry smile, “Although he can’t leave the examination area… it seems like he has flying skills. He and Miss Su flew up into the sky together.
“Don’t even bother discussing them on the square. Even if you use a megaphone, Mo Xiao might not be able to hear,” the assistant added.
Chu Feng sighed lightly and nodded helplessly. “Alright, let him be. We can only hope that he’s someone who relies only on attributes.”
As groups of examinees took the stage, time flew by rapidly.
Soon, with the arrival of nightfall, the last group of examinees also came down from the examination area.
“The second round of assessment is over! All candidates, please gather! The examination results will be announced soon!”
Hearing the announcement from the staff, Mo Xiao, who was floating in the air, opened his eyes. “It looks like the examination is over.”
“It’s over?” Su Jin’er, who was beside him, opened her sleepy eyes. “Then let’s go back.”
“We still need to announce the list of candidates who passed. Let’s go down and listen. What if they use the excuse of a problem with the examination to kick me out?” Mo Xiao chuckled twice. “Sister, you go back first. 1’11 go down and take a look.”
Su Jin’er nodded and bid farewell to Mo Xiao. Then, she flew directly towards the examination area.
After Mo Xiao landed, most of the examinees in the square had gathered.
Chu Feng leisurely floated up into the air.
“Students, you’ve all worked hard!” Chu Feng looked at the examinees below with a cheerful expression. “After two days of assessment, you’ve all worked hard!”
“Next, we will announce the list of students who can officially participate in the college entrance examination!” Chu Feng said loudly. “Of course, for those who did not pass, there’s no need to worry. Today, your matches were all evaluated by professionals, and universities will assess you based on your scores and combat videos.
“You all still have a chance to enter your ideal universities! Please don’t feel too disheartened. You should continue to level up and cultivate. Do you all understand?”
“We understand!”
Hearing the responses from the examinees on the square, Chu Feng nodded in satisfaction and continued, “Next, 1 will announce the names of 100 students who passed this assessment!”
With that, a large screen appeared behind Chu Feng, displaying 100 small grids for displaying the names of those who passed.
“First place! Yicheng Base City! Mo Xiao! Completed with 100 points!”
As Chu Feng’s voice sounded, Mo Xiao’s name instantly appeared on the big screen.
The entire square erupted into a commotion the moment Mo Xiao’s name appeared.
“Damn! Why did he get a perfect score of one hundred points? Didn’t he only kill a level one low-tier monster? Just because it’s big in size doesn’t mean he’s amazing! 1 protest!”
“Protest! Protest! This is unfair! Why does he have such good luck?”
“That’s right, we strongly demand to nullify Mo Xiao’s score! Let him retake the examination!”
“Yes, yes, yes! Let him take the test again!”
“Retake! Retake!!”
Hearing the unanimous protests from the examinees on the square, Chu Feng couldn’t help but wear a helpless smile. “Mo Xiao, it seems that most of them are not convinced by your score.”
“What does it matter whether they’re convinced or not?” Mo Xiao looked at Chu Feng coldly.
Chu Feng continued, “Don’t you want to prove yourself? Do you want to carry the reputation of being a cheater for the rest of your life?”
“Why should I prove myself to them? Who are they to me?” Mo Xiao’s expression remained cold, and he didn’t take Chu Feng’s words to heart. “Even you, what are you to me?”
“You!” Hearing this, Chu Feng almost ground his teeth to bits. He had thought that a little persuasion would make Mo Xiao lose his cool.
But it turned out that this kid was unyielding.
“Hey, Mo kid, don’t make things so tense,” at this moment, Yan Zhantian appeared by Chu Feng’s side without them noticing.
Mo Xiao was about to retort when he realized that Yan Zhantian had suddenly shot him a look, as if he wanted him to cooperate.
Seeing this, Mo Xiao opened his mouth but ultimately remained silent.
Seeing this, Yan Zhantian smiled in satisfaction and said, “Since everyone feels that this assessment is not fair, you can take it again in front of everyone.”
Chu Feng was also pleased to hear this. Although he didn’t know why, Yan Zhantian had come to his aid and spoken on his behalf, which made him happy.
“However, if he still gets full marks, City Lord Chu, you have to compensate Mo Xiao a little.”
But when he heard the second half of Yan Zhantian’s sentence, Chu Feng’s expression instantly turned ugly.
Compensation?
The War God was asking him to compensate a student?
That wasn’t just a drop of blood, it was likely to be cutting off a big chunk of flesh!
Seeing Chu Feng’s expression, Yan Zhantian asked, “What? Unwilling? This was originally a mistake made by your base city, a mistake made by the City Lord’s Mansion staff. How can you make an examinee bear the consequences?”
“You’re right, I’m willing, of course I’m willing!” Chu Feng forced a smile on his face, almost gritting his teeth as he swallowed his words. “Let’s prepare for the retake.”
“Hey,” Chu Feng was about to leave, but Yan Zhantian stopped him and said, “Let’s discuss the compensation measures first, shall we? You need to reassure the examinee in front of everyone.”
“I…” Before Chu Feng could speak, Yan Zhantian continued.
“How about this, I’ll mediate for you. 1 heard that your Yanlong Base City has a special equipment called the ‘Tears of Time,’ and so far, no one has been able to use it. If Mo Xiao’s performance is satisfactory during the retake, you can give him the Tears of Time as compensation.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng was momentarily stunned.
The Tears of Time.
One of their Yanlong Base City’s hidden treasures, but also one of the most useless pieces of equipment.
It had a rainbow-grade quality, but no one could equip it. Even if it was forcibly activated with an item, it would only slightly increase the user’s attributes.
It was truly a white elephant, useless and wasteful.
“You… are you sure you want me to give him this?” Chu Feng asked with a strange expression.
“Why? You don’t want to?” Yan Zhantian raised his eyebrows and asked, “It’s not like he can pass, right? Don’t be so petty. It’s useless anyway.”
“I’m willing! Of course I’m willing! As long as Mo Xiao can complete the assessment, I’ll give it to him!”
