Final Exam

Chapter 5

In the Wetland Forest, as a golden-haired figure pierced the body of a One-Eyed Demon Wolf with a single spear, the One-Eyed Demon Wolf twitched a few times and instantly collapsed.

"A One-Eyed Demon Wolf is worth fifteen hundred, enough for you to eat a hotpot meal until you're completely satisfied."

Su Miu took out a small knife to cut off the left ear of the One-Eyed Demon Wolf, and incidentally took away the Remnant Soul of the One-Eyed Demon Wolf.

The two wandered in this forest for a week, pocketing three Essence Remnants and one hundred and thirty Remnant Souls.

Among them, he discovered that the Remnant Souls of the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat required two hundred to synthesize one Essence Remnant, while the One-Eyed Demon Wolf required one hundred Remnant Souls to synthesize one Essence Remnant.

The synthesized Essence Remnants could only be used to strengthen Star Seeds and could not be sold, which was quite similar to the Little Loach.

"How much longer are we going to stay here? So boring..."

Di Qiu'er felt a bit bored here; killing Demon Beasts every day was so boring.

"Endure a bit longer, after finishing this job, you can eat whatever you want."

Su Miu could only appease his own lucky cat, and hearing this, the other party could only sigh and continue following him as he walked.

The two walked for a distance, and another One-Eyed Demon Wolf was killed, while Su Miu was gathering medicinal herbs in the depths of the forest.

"Speaking of Qiu'er, how is your magic control going?"

"Magic? Uh... three of them... I forgot to practice control."

Hearing the other party question her about magic, the other party instantly showed an embarrassed expression; she had been too busy with transformation and forgot about magic.

"You need to remember to cultivate as well, you know? How about this, if you can cast magic, I'll take you to a big restaurant in a big city for a meal, how's that?"

Su Miu clearly knew how to make this little ancestor cultivate properly, which was using a food offensive to seduce her, and this indeed had an extraordinary effect.

Hearing this, the little Auspicious Beast immediately perked up and immediately said:

"It's a deal! No going back on your word! If you break your promise, I'll use the Soul Beast Clan's humiliation method to severely humiliate you."

"Rest assured, I won't lie to you."

This instantly aroused the lucky cat's drive to cultivate, and soon the tenth day arrived, with Su Miu choosing to temporarily retreat to the Hunter Union to turn in the quest.

After tallying, they hunted a total of one hundred and forty Giant-Eyed Blood Rats and fifty One-Eyed Demon Wolves over ten days, obtaining twenty-eight Exotic Bones, thirty Exotic Hides, and combined with the value of the herbs, altogether adding up to over two million in bounty.

Altogether, the bounty added up to over two million, and Su Miu's hunter points surged straight to Intermediate Hunter, leaving him just two hundred points short of Advanced Hunter.

Moreover, the harvest did not stop there, as Su Miu also harvested five Essence Remnants, which added up to another twenty-five million in earnings.

However, he did not sell them all out at once; finding no place to sell Essence Remnants in Bocheng, he could only go to the auctions in big cities to handle them.

After the demon hunt ended, Su Miu first rested for a day, and the next day he took Di Qiu'er to eat and drink to his heart's content, while buying the lucky cat more than a dozen boxes of snacks, all of which were brought back to the Lake of Life.

Di Tian looked at the Auspicious Beast practicing the power system of another world-so-called magic-in the Lake of Life all day, and suddenly felt that this seemed quite safe.

At least the Auspicious Beast would not run out to wander blindly, and after resting for two days, Su Miu once again took Di Qiu'er to the Wetland Forest to hunt Demon Beasts, with another ten days passing.

Su Miu's Dimensional Summon magic could already be controlled in around one second, and the second magic, the Sharing Element, could also be cast. Not only that, news came from Di Qiu'er's side as well.

"Su Miu! Su Miu, look! I can use magic already!"

The lucky cat excitedly displayed her magic to him, and under his gaze, seven red Star Seeds condensed into a Star Orbit within two seconds, and a white-gold flame instantly appeared.

"Glass Flame, Fire Burst • Scorching!"

As she threw the flame, the white-gold flame instantly slammed into a large boulder, burning the large boulder to ashes.

This was Fire Burst amplified threefold by a Spirit Seed. The lucky cat rubbed her hands together and said:

"How is it? Mere magic, I can completely master it in a mere twenty days."

"Impressive."

Su Miu also gave a thumbs-up to show his approval, and the Big Golden Retriever, having gained his approval, proudly puffed out her chest and immediately asked:

"Right, Su Miu, when are you taking me to the big city for delicious food? We agreed beforehand, after I master magic, you have to take me to the big city for delicious food."

"As for that... in three days, I have an exam tomorrow, and after the exam is over, I'll take you to the Magic City to eat good food."

Hearing this, Su Miu calculated the time, and after finishing the exam tomorrow, he could take the subway to the big city of Magic City, and by the way sell the Essence Remnants on his body and buy a few useful magical tools.

"Fine, if you dare to lie to me, you know the consequences."

Di Qiu'er nodded, then revealed a fiercely cute expression, before sitting on the bed and dangling her delicate little feet wrapped in black silk stockings.

"I know, I know. Right, Qiu'er, remember to control the Star Seeds of your Psychic Curse Element, and also get used to the power of casting magic."

"Since you're begging me so much, I'll reluctantly agree."

Seeing that it was a friend's request, the golden big cat reluctantly agreed. Just happen that staying in the Star Dou Great Forest was boring anyway, so she intended to pass the time by controlling the Star Seeds.

Soon the time arrived for the day of the final exam, and everyone gathered on the playground to take the assessment.

Scoring was handled by Yang Zuohe of the Magic Association, Deng Kai of the Hunter Union, and the academy examiners.

Faced with the final exam, everyone felt nervous inside, each and every one of them afraid of failing and subsequently being expelled.

The highest score grade was S, followed downwards by A, B, and C, with D being a failing grade; if a D-grade score was received, they would be ordered to withdraw from school.

"Old Su, are you confident?"

Mo Fan nudged him with his elbow, asking him whether he was confident about passing, after all, the cultivation difficulty of the Summoning System was not something the Elemental System could compare to.

In response, Su Miu raised a single finger, and Mo Fan froze for a moment, asking doubtfully:

"What do you mean? Do you have a ten-tenths certainty of passing?"

"I mean, it's a guaranteed pass."

"Damn! You're showing off again. By the way, where have you run off to this past month? How come I haven't seen you around?"

Mo Fan knew this guy was none other than the top student Su, so naturally he didn't need to worry about him failing, and then asked out of curiosity where the other went this past month.

"I went to cultivate. There aren't any teachers for the Summoning System in the academy, so I went into seclusion on my own."

Right as the two of them were chatting idly, Zhang Xiaohou tugged at the corner of Mo Fan's clothes, pointed toward the stage, and said:

"Brother Fan, look, it's the little princess!"

Hearing the sound, the two looked over and saw a white-haired young girl standing on the stage. The original work described her with bones of ice and skin of snow, possessing a peerless and breathtaking beauty.

However, his own Di Qiu'er was not about to lose to her, so Su Miu didn't feel much of anything and quickly averted his gaze. He didn't know her, and staring at someone else the whole time would be too impolite.

"Students, next is the end-of-semester exam, and also the moment for you to showcase the results of your cultivation over this past year."

"And our academy is extremely honored to invite Miss Mu Ningxue, an elite student from the Imperial Capital Academy and also the daughter of Professor Mu from Tianlan Magic High School, to take the stage for a demonstration."

Principal Zhu spoke on the stage, steering the topic toward Mu Ningxue. Upon seeing this snowy-white figure, the eyes of all the boys went straight.

Seeing that Mo Fan also wore a lecherous expression, Zhao Kunsan wanted to mock him, but the moment he caught sight of that cold figure, he instantly choked, completely not daring to speak.

As Principal Zhu finished his speech, Mu Ningxue walked onto the stage, reached out to place her hand on the testing crystal ball, and injected her magic energy.

An extremely chilly aura hit them face-first, and numerous ice crystals instantly formed around them, spreading outward until they stopped right at the feet of the students.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, the crystal ball was frozen through and cracked, instantly shattering and crashing onto the ground.

"It froze and cracked!"

"So amazing! Is this one of the students who got admitted in advance?"

Seeing this scene, many gasps of astonishment came from below. Clearly, everyone was shocked. After Mu Ningxue finished her demonstration, she stepped down, and Yang Zuohe stepped onto the stage, picked up the name list, and said:

"Next, whoever I call will come onto the stage for testing. Number one, Su Miu."

The very first name called was his. Su Miu walked calmly onto the stage while the crowd whispered among themselves, watching him.

"This seems to be the great demon king Su Miu."

"There hasn't been any news of him all month, and I don't know if he's as mysterious as the rumors say."

"I heard he awakened the Summoning System, a system I've never heard of."

Under the gaze of the crowd, Su Miu placed his right hand on the test stone, subconsciously glanced around, and after seeing that no one was playing tricks, he injected his magic energy.

In just an instant, the crystal ball erupted with a dazzling radiance, almost blinding everyone's eyes.

"Ah! So glaring!"

"Who threw a flash?"

"An A1 high flash, please? I'm begging you!"

The students covered their eyes one after another, completely unable to see the situation inside. The three examiners were also shocked; it was the first time they had ever seen radiance of such brightness.

Su Miu's gaze narrowed slightly. Right now, his Summoning System was at Basic Level One perfection, and his Sharing Element was around the late stage of Basic Level One, just a hair away from reaching Basic Level Two.

The main reason was that hunting monsters to make money had taken up some time, and he estimated that he would be able to break through to Basic Level Two right around the start of the break.

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud crash, the sound of an explosion arrived, and the testing crystal ball directly exploded and scattered in all directions.

At the same time, the radiance dispersed, and the shadow of the crystal ball was nowhere to be seen in front of Su Miu-it had long since vanished without a trace.

In an instant, the entire playground fell silent, and everyone was shocked speechless. Su Miu said indifferently:

"...Oh, right."

Hearing his voice, several examiners hurriedly responded, and then they saw that in the span of a mere second, seven star seeds instantly formed a star orbit that halted right there.

"I haven't found a suitable summoned beast yet. Is this okay?"

He didn't summon Di Qiu'er; humanoid summoned beasts were still too startling, and being overly flamboyant was no good.

"Such speed!"
