28: Mid-stage Dark Element Tier 1! Theoretical Exam

Sensing the danger, Hu Wei didn't dare to be careless and shouted, "Fire Shadow Evasion!"

His body suddenly transformed into a man of fire; almost at the same time, a blade sliced through the air and slashed across him!

Swish!

The fire man was split directly in two!

Meanwhile, Hu Wei's figure had already appeared five meters away!

Beads of sweat had formed on his forehead; if he hadn't reacted quickly just now, he would already be a corpse!

A Xiu's figure appeared in the arena, her small face somewhat pale; after using her skills multiple times, her Alien Energy was exhausted.

The strike just now had been her final chance!

However, the effect didn't seem very good, as it only forced out the opponent's second skill.

But to force a Mid Second-tier martial artist to use their second skill with only first-tier strength was proof enough of the duo's power.

Hu Wei said with lingering fear, "Impressive. If we were in the same tier, I wouldn't be your match."

A Xiu gripped her combat blade tightly, staring at him without a word.

Hu Wei gave a light chuckle: "Fine then, out of respect for you all, I won't hold back anymore."

"Then come and try."

Fang Bai and Qi Tian also walked over.

Xiao Yuan also struggled to close in.

The four of them directly surrounded Hu Wei.

The latter's lip twitched: "What's wrong with that kid Lu Fei? He went offline just like that?"

He glanced not far away; Lu Fei's figure was already lying on the ground.

Fang Bai said with a grin, "Senior Lu Fei is quite interesting. It's good to be young; he falls asleep as soon as his head hits the ground."

Hu Wei: "..."

Qi Tian rubbed his fists and feet excitedly: "Now it's four against one. Senior, you shouldn't mind the four of us fighting you alone, right?"

Hu Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "I do mind."

He withdrew his Alien Energy and raised both hands: "I surrender."

Fang Bai and the other three breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously.

It had to be said that facing two Second Year Students, they had felt immense pressure.

This was just a spar; if it were truly a life-and-death struggle, they probably would have died several times over by now.

At the same time, it made Fang Bai and the others realize the gap between them and the true Second Year Students!

"Ahem... Hello? Can you hear me? This is the Academic Affairs Office, I am Principal Qi."

"I announce that Fang Bai, Qi Tian, A Xiu, and Xiao Yuan have passed the Martial Academy's final assessment and are officially Second Year Students!"

As the broadcast sounded, lights in the dormitories flickered on one by one, and then figures appeared in the corridors, looking down at the group below.

"Given that Hu Wei and Lu Fei failed their mission and performed poorly, two hundred points will be deducted and distributed to Fang Bai and his team."

"That is all. Goodnight, everyone."

The broadcast ended, and those older students returned to their dorms, as if none of this had anything to do with them.

Fang Bai and the other three still hadn't snapped out of it.

Hu Wei became completely dejected, saying with a look of despair, "Two hundred points gone, a whole night's work for nothing..."

Suddenly remembering something, he rushed to the unconscious Lu Fei and gave him two hard kicks: "Damn it! I told you to show off! Now all our food money is gone because of your showing off!"

After speaking, he dragged Lu Fei by one leg and left despondently.

Back at the spot, Fang Bai and the others collapsed in an exhausted heap.

"Damn it! Is this Martial Academy really a place for humans?"

Qi Tian was incredibly depressed.

He used to come to the Martial Academy often, but he only watched other students train; now that he was experiencing it himself, he realized how freaking miserable it was!

"It's finally over!"

Fang Bai revealed a slight smile.

What he was happy about was that the system's mission was complete!

Xiao Yuan was also smiling happily because his strength had grown again.

Before long, he too would be able to break through to the second tier!

A Xiu's face was pale as she clutched a demon crystal, silently absorbing the Alien Energy within it.

A moment later, the four of them returned to their respective rooms to heal.

Through this battle, although they were injured again, their abilities in all aspects had improved.

It could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Most importantly, each of them received fifty points!

Fang Bai returned to his room and flopped directly onto the bed.

"Damn! I got beaten up again!"

"System, hurry up and distribute the rewards!"

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission!]

[Obtained a medium amount of Dark Attribute Alien Energy!]

[Obtained 20% Attribute Damage Reduction! (Permanent Version) Automatically fused with the Host!]

[Ability: Can reduce enemy attacks by 20%!]

The Alien Energy within Fang Bai's body surged, and ink-like specks of Alien Energy appeared around him.

At the same time, his level broke through once more!

Mid First-tier Dark Element!

Not only that, he now had innate damage reduction, only needing to endure 80% of an opponent's skill damage.

This was undoubtedly another conceptual god-tier skill!

If only he could increase his own attack damage too!

After his cultivation broke through, Fang Bai's injuries also recovered!

"Now, I can look forward to life in the Martial Academy!"

...Three days passed in a flash.

Fang Bai and the others went to the Personnel Department together.

The familiar Director Liu was sitting at his desk... playing games?

"F*ck! You're a support, why are you charging?! Are you a primary schooler?! You're pissing me off! Come fight me in real life if you've got the guts! See if I don't beat the crap out of you!..."

"Ahem!"

A deliberate cough sounded.

Director Liu's body stiffened, and then he sat up straight with a normal expression, casually stuffing his phone into his pocket and putting on a professional smile: "Do you need something?"

Fang Bai hesitated for a moment, then took two steps back and pushed Qi Tian forward.

Qi Tian: "???"

He glared at Fang Bai, then looked at Director Liu and said, "Director Liu, isn't today our exam time?"

Director Liu realized: "Oh, oh! I almost forgot if you hadn't come, I'm quite busy, you see."

Qi Tian and the others had strange looks in their eyes.

You were busy arguing with a primary schooler, right?

Director Liu ignored their stares, rummaged around, and finally pulled several exam papers from a drawer, saying with a smile: "Since the teacher who was supposed to proctor you has gone on a mission, I'll be the proctor. Here, one for each of you."

He handed out the test papers and also provided four pens.

"Just write together at that table over there. Remember not to cheat, because my eyes will be watching you. Oh, by the way, the four pens must be returned after the exam; they are the private property of the Martial Academy."

The expressions of the four as they received the papers were all different.

Fang Bai looked at the paper with a calm face.

Qi Tian, on the other hand, looked like he was suffering from constipation.

Xiao Yuan watched curiously and very seriously, as if he wanted to learn something from it.

A Xiu's pretty eyebrows furrowed; it was clear she was stumped.

Director Liu, seeing them looking like they didn't know where to start, gave a cunning smile: "By the way, if you feel like you won't pass, you can pay ten points."

Hearing this, Qi Tian and the others' eyes lit up, and they decisively gave up on the theoretical exam, walking toward Director Liu one after another.

After all, Director Liu was also the one recording the grades, so the points naturally went into his pocket.

Director Liu watched the thirty points come in, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.

Then he looked at Fang Bai, who had already started writing, and said, "Oh? There's actually a hardworking student."

After scribbling for a few minutes, Fang Bai stood up and walked to Director Liu, saying with a grin, "Leader, I should have passed."

Director Liu took the paper with some curiosity, and after a glance, he could see the gist of it and was somewhat surprised: "You actually memorized that rulebook?"

Fang Bai said proudly, "Of course! Isn't it easy enough for anyone with hands?"

"..."

Qi Tian and the others silently lowered their heads.

Director Liu nodded and said, "Alright, you passed."

"Okay, next I'll assign you to your classes."
