Finally the college entrance examination

Gu Xiaoyue applied to Nanya Academy.

She didn't expect Teacher Han to seek her out specifically.

Entering the office, Teacher Han asked Gu Xiaoyue to sit down and said straightforwardly, "I heard that in the past two days, Chu Li accepted the guaranteed admission to Huaqing Academy, but I saw that you wrote down Nanya Academy."

Good grief, is Teacher Han here to gossip?

Teacher Han continued: "I thought you would also go to Huaqing. Are you really determined to go to Nanya?"

Gu Xiaoyue nodded. In her heart, Nanya was more suitable for her than Huaqing.

"Does classmate Chu Li know?" Teacher Han continued to ask.

"He doesn't know. Can you keep it a secret, Teacher? Please also ask the principal to keep it a secret for me." Gu Xiaoyue hadn't forgotten that the Chu family held shares in Huanan Middle School.

To put it bluntly, as long as Chu Li wanted, the entire school leadership of Huanan Middle School could revolve around him.

Teacher Han sighed, "Although Nanya is considered a first-class academy in the Dragon Kingdom, it still has a gap compared to Huaqing, which is ranked first. With your strength, you would have better development if you could go to Huaqing."

Facing Teacher Han's persuasion, Gu Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel a twinge of bitterness in her heart.

Compared to training locked within the campus, she longed more for time to go to the wild for actual combat.

"Thank you, Teacher Han. I had already decided before, and I don't want to change it."

Gu Xiaoyue bowed to Teacher Han and left.

She went to the training ground to find Chu Li, only from today on, she wouldn't practice summoning skill with him, but rather train the rapport and combination skills of Qingqing and Little Bear.

Chu Li was also willing to accompany her in training.

During this period, Gu Xiaoyue still went to the hospital to see Mu Qingning almost every day.

However, she didn't have the opportunity to let Xiao Lan perform Water Therapy.

As the exam approached, Gu Yu wouldn't let Xiao Yue stay at the hospital at night to accompany her.

She had dinner with Mu Qingning every day and returned to the Gu Family to rest after eating.

Although they were in the same mansion, Gu Xiaoxing was also busy preparing for the college entrance exam and didn't jump around in front of her.

Gu Xiaoyue was happy to have peace and quiet.

However, every few days, Gu Xiaoyue would check the pinhole camera to see if any evidence had been recorded.

After all, Gu Yu and Mu Qingning were always in the hospital, and since Gu Qi and the others hadn't succeeded, wouldn't they be anxious after a long time?

Finally, one day, Gu Xiaoyue heard Shen Jiajing complaining to Gu Qi, "The people you sent are useless. It's been so long and there's been no movement. It would have been better if I had sent Mu Qingning a bottle of psychiatric medication like before; she actually treated it as vitamins and ate it. If I had known, I should have just poisoned her. It would have saved me from this headache now!"

Gu Qi said on the other end that that wouldn't do; if she were poisoned at home, it would be bad if it was investigated. He had also found people to damage and delete the surveillance footage from when Mu Qingning fell down the stairs previously; this whole operation was quite troublesome.

He also told Shen Jiajing not to worry, that there was plenty of time, and they would kill them sooner or later.

Gu Xiaoyue was so angry that her teeth itched. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

She saved this recording, intending to bring it out at the right time.

The day of the college entrance exam finally arrived.

The examination venue was at the city stadium, and all students from Qingyu City participating in the college entrance exam were waiting inside the stadium.

There were over 60,000 candidates this year.

The beast combat simulators dedicated to the exam were placed inside the stadium.

There were ten in total, and one simulator could accommodate 1,000 students to take the exam at the same time.

The content of the exam was to kill fierce beasts, and the attributes of the fierce beasts encountered were random.

Of course, the healing students were tested on their healing ability, which was a separate exam.

The exam time was two hours, and there could be a rest in the middle, but they would be forcibly teleported out of the simulator when the two hours were up.

However, the simulator could accurately record the candidates' time and damage when fighting the beasts.

For the same Young life stage 5 beast, hitting it once versus hitting it multiple times showed a difference in ability.

This was the grading standard that every academy needed to understand for recruitment.

Ye Wanrou's candidate number was before Gu Xiaoyue's, so she entered the simulator first.

She used a Heaven-tier mid-grade Unicorn, Young life stage 5, for the exam.

Although Snowball was Young life stage 6, its combat power was not as good as the Young life stage 5 Unicorn.

Ye Wanrou entered the exam venue. The low-level beasts were fine, but the Young life stage 5 and 6 beasts really cost her some time.

After resting for a while, she had just seen a Young life stage 7 beast, and before she could hit it a few times, she was forcibly teleported out of the beast simulator.

Ye Wanrou first took her pet beast for healing, then went to find Gu Xiaoyue.

Gu Xiaoyue entered the exam venue two hours later than Ye Wanrou.

She heard Ye Wanrou say she had reached a Young life stage 7 beast; although she hadn't beaten it, it was still considered a very good result.

After more than an hour, it was Gu Xiaoyue's turn.

She took a deep breath and walked slowly into the simulator.

She believed in her own strength, but there were too many people at the exam venue, and Gu Xiaoyue was also influenced by the emotions of other candidates, feeling a bit nervous.

Gu Xiaoyue summoned Qingqing, who was already at Young life stage 8, and the Little Bear, who was at Young life stage 7.

Qingqing's Ice Flame and the Little Bear's poison mist had both been upgraded to advanced level.

She had originally thought about taking advantage of the college entrance exam to "fleece" the system.

But strangely, the system did not issue any tasks to her.

The exam officially began:

First level, Young life stage 2 Tread Snow Wolf, instant kill.

Second level, Young life stage 3 Bloodthirsty Wild Goose, instant kill.

Third level, Young life stage 4 Three-legged Golden Crow, instant kill.

Fourth level, Young life stage 5 Earth Armor Elephant, 6 seconds.

Fifth level, Young life stage 6 Spirit Water Deer, took 30 seconds.

Sixth level, Young life stage 7 Thunder Pattern Tiger, took 3 minutes 42 seconds.

Seventh level, Young life stage 8 Flowing Cloud Leopard, took 6 minutes 27 seconds.

Eighth level, Young life stage 9 Thunder Horn Lion, took 25 minutes 18 seconds.

The whole process took 36 minutes 27 seconds.

Gu Xiaoyue waited for a few minutes, but no Young life stage 10 beast appeared.

She felt like she was answering an exam paper, having only written one side of the answers and wanting to turn the page to write the big questions.

After turning the page, she found that the back was a blank sheet, and there were no big questions at all!

She pressed the teleport remote control and left the exam venue.

The invigilator outside was stunned. Why did she come out after only 30-something minutes? Did she give up on the exam?

"Teacher, did my simulator malfunction? Why did it stop spawning monsters?" Gu Xiaoyue asked.

"Malfunction? That shouldn't be," the invigilator muttered.

If there was a malfunction, all 1,000 candidates should have a malfunction; it couldn't just be her.

It was like printing exam papers; if there was an error, this whole batch should have errors; it couldn't just be her paper that was printed wrong.

The invigilator pulled up Gu Xiaoyue's data. He took one look and was startled.

He also suspected whether the simulator had malfunctioned.

"30-something minutes to finish off a Young life stage 9 beast?"

The invigilator confirmed with Gu Xiaoyue in disbelief.

"Probably. I didn't record the specific time, it's just that I was waiting for the Young life stage 10 beast, and it never appeared."

Gu Xiaoyue said with a puzzled face.

The invigilator wiped his sweat and said, "There are only eight levels set for the exam, and there are no Young life stage 10 beasts at all."

In previous years, candidates who could beat the Young life stage 8 beasts were already rare, but the girl in front of him had actually cleared the level, and it only took 30-something minutes!

This year's top scholar would definitely be this girl!

Since there was no problem with the simulator, Gu Xiaoyue thanked the invigilator and left.

Unexpectedly, waiting for her to come out, besides Ye Wanrou and Chen Yixuan, there was also Gu Xiaoxing.
