Mock Exam

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was the day of the mock exam.

This was the last mock exam before the college entrance examination, and many students were rubbing their hands together, eager to show off their skills.

Almost as soon as the sky began to lighten, the students of Qingcheng High School had already gathered together.

This mock exam used a lottery-based battle system, where every opponent encountered was random.

And if someone had already become a First-Rank Warrior, they could skip the early lottery rounds entirely, since a warrior fighting a non-warrior was like Optimus Prime taking on Tyson—there was no point in a contest.

Just as a teacher was asking if anyone had already broken through to become a First-Rank Warrior, a figure stepped forward without hesitation.

Many envious gazes turned toward the front of the crowd, where a tall, cool young man in white robes with a handsome face stood—their Qingcheng High School's top genius! Ye Qingxian!

His face, even more beautiful than a woman's, caused countless girls' eyes to well up with heart-shaped admiration.

The principal of Qingcheng High School stepped forward, examined Ye Qingxian's Qi and blood, and then burst into loud laughter.

"Not bad! Your Qi and Blood Value has already broken a hundred. Worthy of being my Qingcheng High School's top genius. My school has produced a True Dragon! Students, you should all learn from classmate Ye Qingxian and strive to let our Qingcheng High School produce another warrior!"

With a true warrior on their side, Qingcheng High School was sure to achieve good results in this college entrance examination, and in turn, the school would gain better resources!

Ye Qingxian nodded faintly, his face expressionless, as if becoming a warrior was nothing worth mentioning. This only drew another round of cheers from the girls behind him.

Just as Ye Qingxian was basking in this feeling of being the center of attention, an untimely voice rang out.

"Principal, I think I've broken through to First-Rank Warrior too." Zhu Ping'an scratched his head with a simple, honest look.

"Oh? Is that true?" The principal's face lit up with excitement. Two warriors—that was truly a double blessing!

When the principal placed his hand on Zhu Ping'an, he was startled and gave him a deep, searching look.

This kid's Qi and blood surged like a dragon, the surging energy seeming ready to burst out of his body at any moment. It was far more formidable than Ye Qingxian's Qi and blood. The title of Qingcheng High School's top genius might soon change hands.

When the principal announced that Zhu Ping'an was indeed also a warrior, a wave of exclamations rose from below.

Ye Qingxian becoming a warrior was no surprise to them—after all, his reputation had long spread far and wide—but Zhu Ping'an was a different story!

"No way! Isn't this guy the Big Licker who's always trailing behind Yan Shubing? How did he become a warrior so fast?"

"I don't know! Is this what they mean by 'the licker licks until he has it all'?"

"Zhu Ping'an must have stumbled onto some incredible luck. This time, he's really Turned Over!"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, all marveling at Zhu Ping'an's good fortune. Then, a sharp female voice cut through.

"So what if he, Zhu Ping'an, became a warrior? Even as a warrior, isn't he still going to be a licker for my Bingbing?" Shen Yue, Yan Shubing's best friend, said coldly.

Over the years, she had seen too many of Zhu Ping'an's licker-like deeds. To put it bluntly, if Yan Shubing took off her socks, he'd pick them up and soak them in water to drink. In Shen Yue's eyes, even if such a man became a warrior, he posed no threat.

"Yueyue! Don't talk about Ping'an Ge like that!"

Yan Shubing pretended to be angry, but a hint of smugness flickered in her eyes. She held up her long, fair neck like a proud little swan.

The stronger the licker, the more glory reflected on the one being licked.

Since Zhu Ping'an and Ye Qingxian were already warriors, they didn't participate in the lottery draw at the start of the mock exam.

They waited until the afternoon before each facing their first opponent. However, their opponents' Qi and Blood Values were only close to a hundred, far from breaking through, so both Zhu Ping'an and Ye Qingxian easily dispatched them.

At this point, many eyes in the venue focused on the two of them, filled with anticipation and fervor.

The next match would be a true clash of dragons—a battle between two warriors! This match would decide who was truly the top of Qingcheng High School!

"Qingxian Ge, Ping'an Ge, both of you, do your best!" Yan Shubing waved her hand and said.

Ye Qingxian turned his head, a faint smile tugging at his face, which was usually as cold as millennia-old ice.

Zhu Ping'an also waved at Yan Shubing: "Don't worry, Bingbing! I'll definitely give it my all!"

Seeing this, the entire crowd's attention shifted from the two warriors, Ye Qingxian and Zhu Ping'an, to Yan Shubing, and a wave of commotion swept through the venue.

Ye Qingxian was famously aloof, yet he would crack a smile for this Yan Shubing. The newly promoted warrior Zhu Ping'an was also infatuated with her. What did Yan Shubing have to deserve this? Many girls' eyes burned with intense jealousy.

Under the teacher's arrangement, the two stood opposite each other. Ye Qingxian looked at Zhu Ping'an with a calm, steady gaze.

"Zhu Ping'an, step down on your own. Among warriors, there are still gaps. You are no match for me."

Ye Qingxian's tone was flat, devoid of any other emotion, as if he were merely stating a fact.

As the Novel's Male Lead, Ye Qingxian indeed had the right to say this—provided Zhu Ping'an hadn't exploited a bug to get nine Qi and Blood Pills.

"Teacher, can we start?" Zhu Ping'an ignored this Boss King and turned to the teacher acting as referee.

"Ye Qingxian is ready. As long as you're ready too, you can call for the start at any time," the referee teacher replied.

"Then let's begin," Zhu Ping'an said.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxian couldn't help but shake his head. He slowly took a step forward, and the fearsome Qi and blood of a true warrior rippled outward like water waves, making Ye Qingxian seem like an emperor Ruling the World.

"Since you're stubbornly clinging to delusion, I will grant you a defeat."

"Remember, the one who defeats you is named... Ye Qingxian!"

The moment the words fell, Ye Qingxian moved!

He stomped hard on the ground, leaping three zhang into the air in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, he was a meter above Zhu Ping'an's head, moving with incredible speed!

Ye Qingxian used no martial skills—just a simple punch aimed downward at Zhu Ping'an's head. This punch contained all the Qi and blood power of Ye Qingxian as a warrior, with enough force to split metal and shatter stone.

Facing Ye Qingxian's fierce assault, Zhu Ping'an stood frozen in place as if scared stiff.

"It's over! Zhu Ping'an is about to lose!" A sharp-eyed teacher shook his head at the sight.

Ye Qingxian's punch came from a commanding height. Both were First-Rank Warriors—Zhu Ping'an's best move was to dodge the brunt of it. Even if he managed to block head-on, he'd still take damage, let alone the fact that he hadn't reacted at all.

Many of the Young Girls couldn't help turning away, unable to bear the coming sight of broken bones and blood.

Just as Ye Qingxian's fist neared Zhu Ping'an's face, a large hand appeared out of nowhere, catching the punch with a crisp smack.

A flicker of shock crossed Ye Qingxian's dead-fish face, because the one who caught his full-force punch was none other than Zhu Ping'an!

The ground beneath Zhu Ping'an's feet cracked from the immense impact. He curled the corner of his mouth, revealing a friendly smile.

"Ye Qingxian, you're really pathetic."
