In the blink of an eye, another half month flew by.
On this day, the door of the Grade A training room, which had been closed for a long time, finally slowly opened.
Two figures walked out side by side, it was Chu Bai and Wang Qingli who had been in seclusion for a month.
At this time, although the two people were dusty and had a few repair marks on their clothes, their aura was condensed to the extreme.
Especially Wang Qingli, whose originally cold temperament has an immovable heaviness, and her eyes are determined. It is obvious that she has benefited a lot from this month of hell-style sparring.
"Phew... it's finally out."
Wang Qingli looked at the long-lost sunshine outside and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Looking back at the training room behind her, there was a bit of reluctance in her eyes.
Although this month has been tiring, and although I have been tortured to death by Chu Bai's perverted offensive every day, the progress has been real.
She could feel that her defense system was more integrated than before, and her experience in dealing with fast attacks and dogfights had made a qualitative leap.
"In this retreat, including the consumption of Pills, my savings for more than half a year have been completely wiped out."
Wang Qingli smiled bitterly and shook the empty Storage Bag.
In addition to the 150-point Dao Merit rental fee, in order to keep up with the pace of Chu Bai, she spent a lot of money just buying Qi-Replenishing Pill medicine.
Fortunately, as a third-year elite, she takes on many tasks on weekdays, so her family can still afford it.
"You can make money again if you don't have money, but your skills are real."
Wang Qingli turned to look at Chu Bai and said in a sincere tone, "Junior brother, thank you very much. If I didn't have a terrifying sparring partner like you to give me tricks every day, I'm afraid I would have to grind for another half a year if I want to break through the bottleneck of "Thick Earth Shield"."
Chu Bai heard this and smiled gently, "Senior Sister, you're welcome. In the past month, without Senior Sister's impenetrable defense as a whetstone, my new Spell Arts would not have been able to enter the country so quickly. We are mutually beneficial."
"You are just too modest."
Wang Qingli shook his head.
After spending this month together day and night, she became very aware of how terrifying the young man in front of her was.
Whether it is the bottomless Spell Power reserves or the endless methods, they have completely surpassed the concept of "new students" and even surpassed most third-year veterans.
"Right."
Wang Qingli glanced at the communication talisman in his hand, and his expression straightened, "I have received the specific schedule notice from Immortal Official Examination. In three days, the big exam will begin."
Having said this, she looked at Chu Bai with a hint of encouragement in her eyes. "Junior brother, although you are preparing for the graduation exam, you are a few days behind us.
But if I have free time then, after I finish the competition, I will definitely go to the freshman examination room to cheer you on and witness with my own eyes that you won the first place without any suspense."
In her opinion, Chu Bai must be working so hard to be the first in the first-year graduation exam. With his current strength, playing in the freshman competition would be like going to the Novice Village to massacre a full-level player. The scene was so beautiful that she didn't even dare to think about it.
However, Chu Bai's next reaction stunned her.
Chu Bai smiled, took out a communication charm of the same style from his arms, and shook it slightly.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior sister. But... I think we may not need to wait until the graduation exam to see you again."
Chu Bai's tone was calm, as if he was talking about an ordinary little thing, "Master Zhou has registered for me some time ago. After the prison hospital confirmed the list, they also formally notified me yesterday."
"What?"
Wang Qingli was startled, his eyes fell on the communication talisman, and his pupils suddenly shrank, "That's...Immortal Official Examination's Exam Admission Token?!"
"You... you reported Immortal Official Examination?!"
At this moment, Wang Qingli felt like his head was buzzing and he was a little confused.
She always thought that Chu Bai was preparing for the graduation of freshmen, in order to consolidate the name of the first freshman.
After working on it for a long time, this guy was actually preparing for Immortal Official Examination?!
You know, the contestants of Immortal Official Examination are all the top elites of the third grade! It was a real fight between gods.
She, Wang Qingli, also applied for a place in the second grade without knowing what she was doing, but she didn't even pass the preliminaries and was taught how to be a good person by those experienced seniors from the third level of Perfection.
It is as difficult as reaching the sky to get a reference across one term.
And Chu Bai... he is only in the first grade!
This is a direct leap between two terms?!
"What? Senior sister thinks I'm not qualified?"
Chu Bai looked at the dumbfounded Wang Qingli and asked half-jokingly.
"No... it's not that I'm not qualified."
Wang Qingli came back to his senses, swallowed, and looked extremely complicated, "I think... those third-year senior students are going to be in bad luck this time."
If it were anyone else, she would definitely feel that this was arrogance and self-humiliation.
But facing Chu Bai, facing this monster who tortured her until she lost her temper in the training room... she couldn't even have the slightest doubt in her heart. Instead, she felt a little sympathy for her opponents who had not realized the seriousness of the problem.
Although he is only in the first grade, in terms of combat power, means, and character, Chu Bai is definitely one of the most threatening predators in this Immortal Official Examination!
"In that case..."
Wang Qingli took a deep breath, and the fighting spirit in her eyes ignited again. This time, she truly regarded Chu Bai as her opponent on the same stage.
"Then let's meet on the field! I hope I won't meet you too early, otherwise all my preparations over the past few years will be in vain."
"Senior sister is joking."
Chu Bai bowed his hands and looked towards the majestic main peak of Martial Training Ground in the distance, with a golden light in his eyes.
"I'll go back first to make some preparations and adjust my condition."
"See you on the field in three days."
After that, he turned around and left, his back as straight as a pine tree.
Looking at the figure gradually disappearing from the distance, Wang Qingli couldn't regain his senses for a long time.
She had a premonition.
This class of Immortal Official Examination will probably become more exciting than ever due to the addition of this first-year freshman, and may even... be recorded in the annals of history.
After saying goodbye to Wang Qingli, Chu Bai went back to the classroom first.
Today is the last general education class of this school year.
Although what Instructor Zhou Changkong said on the stage was still boring common sense and geography of the world of immortality, the students in the audience listened very carefully, and there was an atmosphere of excitement and tension in the air.
"Okay, that's the end of today's lesson."
Zhou Changkong closed the book in his hand and glanced gently at the whole class, "This is not only the end of this semester, but also means that your one-year freshman career is about to come to an end."
"Graduation Examination in three days will be the touchstone to test the results of your hard work this year. After passing the exam, you will be the official second-year students."
Having said this, Zhou Changkong looked slightly serious and reminded, "The ranking of this exam is very important. It is not only related to the resource allocation after you enter the second grade, but the top ten will also receive generous Dao Merit and magic weapon rewards."
When they heard the word reward, many people's eyes lit up.
But soon, most people's eyes drifted towards the figure sitting in the center of the first row, intentionally or unintentionally.
Chu Bai.
That young man who has been pushed forward all the way since he entered school and has the first and second words firmly welded on himself.
"First place... we don't have to think about it."
"Yes, with this pervert Chu Bai here, that position is as stable as Mount Tai, and no one can shake it."
"It's considered good if you get a ranking, and you're successful if you graduate successfully."
Although the whispers below were kept very low, the Qi Ingestion and awe of Chu Bai's strength could not be hidden.
Even Tao Mingzhi, who was once proud and arrogant, now has a low eyebrow and has lost his original ambition to compete.
Zhou Changkong naturally heard these comments, but he did not stop them. He just gave Chu Bai a meaningful look and immediately announced that get out of class was over.
The crowd dispersed, leaving only two people in the classroom.
"Master Zhou." Chu Bai stepped onto the podium and saluted respectfully.
"Hmm."
Zhou Changkong nodded, his expression became a little serious, "I just said it to everyone. Now, I want to tell you a few words about Immortal Official Examination alone."
"Your registration application has been approved by the prison."
Zhou Changkong took out a gold-plated Exam Admission Token from his sleeve and handed it to Chu Bai, "Although Great Plains Prefecture Dao Academy has never been a first-year reference, several supervisors have recognized your courage to leapfrog the challenge and the strength you have shown in the past six months, so they have made an exception to allow you to enter."
"Thank you so much, my mentor Zhou Xuan."
Chu Bai took the token and got it slightly.
"Don't be too hasty to thank me yet."
Zhou Changkong waved his hand and said earnestly, "Letting you go is to give you a chance to see the world. But if your skills are really inferior to others, don't hold on. If you don't pass this time, don't be discouraged. Just do your best."
"After all, your main battlefield is still the graduation exam in a few days. If you are seriously injured for the slim Immortal Clerk quota, which affects the status of the graduation exam, it will be more gain than loss."
Chu Bai nodded in agreement, but disagreed in his heart. Now that he had gone, he had no intention of returning empty-handed.
Seemingly seeing the stubbornness in Chu Bai's eyes, Zhou Changkong sighed and continued, "There are a few people you should pay special attention to."
"There is a person named Lü Qing. This person is born with supernatural power, and he follows a fierce path of opening and closing. He also has extremely rich practical experience. He has been ranked among the top ten among the third graders all year round."
"I have seen Senior Brother Lu, and he is indeed very powerful."
Chu Bai nodded. That was an acquaintance who had killed Rat General with him. His strength should not be underestimated.
"Lü Qing is strong, but he is not invincible. This is the person who really makes you despair."
Zhou Changkong's expression became more solemn than ever before, and he slowly spit out a name:
"Ji Li."
"Ji Li?" Chu Bai was slightly startled.
"Not bad. Great Plains Prefecture is the first, Aristocratic Clan, the eldest son of Ji Household."
Zhou Changkong said in a deep voice, "This person Foundation Depth is so profound that you can't imagine. Whether it's the exercises, Spell Arts or the magical tools, they are all top-notch.
Moreover, he is extremely talented. Since he entered school, no matter which major exam he took, he has always been the first, and has never been surpassed by anyone."
"In the minds of third-grade students, he is an insurmountable mountain. Many Instructor even privately believe that if he had obtained White Ordination's current strength, he would have already broken through Qi Refining Mid-Stage, and he might even still be the best among them."
"A discontinuous first..."
Chu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.
This evaluation is somewhat similar to his current situation.
"If you encounter this person head-on on the field..."
Zhou Changkong looked at Chu Bai and warned seriously, "I hope you can let go of that young competitiveness and surrender when it's time to surrender."
"There is no shame in losing to Ji Li. If you fight for face and suffer a serious setback, it may damage your invincible Dao Heart, and may even leave a psychological shadow that will affect your future practice."
"Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario. With your strength, as long as you are lucky enough to avoid this great god, there is still hope of reaching the top ten."
Zhou Changkong patted Chu Bai on the shoulder, explained some details of the competition system in detail, and then let him go.
Chu Bai walked out of the teaching building and looked up at the blue sky.
"Ji Li..."
Not only did he not feel afraid, but he felt that the blood in his body was boiling slightly.
The first that has never been surpassed?
Luckily, so am I.
Chu Bai clenched Exam Admission Token in his hand, with fighting spirit burning in his eyes.
On the occasion of parting, Zhou Changkong seemed to remember something again, and stopped Chu Bai who was about to turn around and leave.
"There are also a few things about the rules of the examination room. I need to inform you in advance to avoid confusion later."
Zhou Changkong's expression became a little more solemn, even with a hint of awe, "This Immortal Official Examination is of great importance. Because it is directly related to Edict Investiture's official quota in the imperial court, the standards for invigilation are extremely high."
"At that time, not only our Dao Academy dean and several supervisors will be present to watch, but also Mr. Judge from Great Wall Prefecture City [Merit Office] will come in person to invigilate the exam!"
"Judge?"
Chu Bai felt a chill in his heart.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty system, Merit Office is the core organization in charge of the rewards, punishments, assessment and promotion of monks.
A Judge is at least a major cultivator of Foundation Establishment Late Stage or even higher, and holding Law Net Divine Authority in his hand, he has the terrifying power of following his words.
With such a big shot present, any evil spirits or cheating methods will be uncovered.
"That's right. Master Judge has a keen eye for justice and the most important thing is fairness."
Zhou Changkong continued, "So, the exam rules are extremely strict.
In order to ensure fairness, and at the same time to test the students' most authentic cultivation Foundation Depth, during the examination - it is strictly prohibited to use any brought magic weapons, talismans, Pills and other external forces!"
"Once admitted, all foreign objects must be turned in and sealed. Anyone who violates the rules will be directly disqualified, and may even be expelled Dao Registry and never be hired."
Hearing this rule, Chu Bai didn't find it difficult at all.
"Students don't rely much on external objects on weekdays, so I'm not afraid of this."
Chu Bai responded calmly.
"That's good."
Zhou Changkong nodded, still a little worried and warned, "But if you are used to taking drugs to recover, you will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable when the supply is suddenly cut off. You can adjust your rhythm in the past few days."
"As for the specific test questions..."
Zhou Changkong shook his head, "Immortal Official Examination's questions are different every year, either entering the secret realm Demon-Slaying, or Arena fighting skills, or breaking formations and solving puzzles... There are all kinds of strange things, and it is impossible to leak them in advance. Only when you arrive at the scene, and the moment Master Judge opens the seal, will you know."
"In short, when the soldiers come, we will block it, and when the water comes, the soil will cover it up. Everything depends on true ability."
"Students understand and must keep it in mind."
Chu Bai solemnly handed over the key information in his mind.
Judge is invigilating the exam, foreign objects are prohibited, and the exam questions are unknown.
This Immortal Official Examination was fairer and crueler than he imagined.
"Go ahead." Zhou Changkong waved his hand, "Adjust your condition. Three days later, I will watch your performance on the viewing stand."
"Students resign."
