In the grand hall, chaos reigned like a pot of boiling porridge.

All the students were using their best skills to slash and dodge the seemingly endless four-winged bats. However, due to the overwhelming number of bats, many students started to get injured, with the sharp claws and teeth of the four-winged bats leaving bloody marks on their bodies. The crystals on their chests kept flashing red.

Only a few of the stronger and more intelligent students quickly found allies to rely on, so their damage was relatively minor.

However, while everyone was busy dealing with the four-winged bats, no one noticed that at the edge of the hall, three figures were easily evading the bats' search under a faint light, and then they began to comment on the other students in the hall.

"Haha, look at that guy, his face is almost scratched to pieces."

"Wow, this one is really unlucky, the four-winged bat scratched his crotch. Look at his twisted face, I wonder if he will have psychological trauma in the future?"

"Poor guy."

"..."

The three of them watched the miserable students in the hall with sympathy, and at the same time, they regretted not bringing some sunflower seeds to snack on. Otherwise, watching the commotion and eating snacks would have been a delightful experience.

Li Luo suddenly glanced at Yu Lang and frowned, "Can you not get so close to me? Isn't it disgusting?"

This guy was tightly holding Li Luo's hand and constantly getting closer, the smell of sweat making Li Luo feel uncomfortable.

Yu Lang said with a straight face, "You bad guy, what if you suddenly throw me out? Of course, I have to hold on tight."

Li Luo was speechless, thinking that if it weren't for Yu Lang helping him hide his information, he would really kick this guy out...

"Brother Luo, shouldn't we be considered perfect? If we don't get full marks for this level, it would be a travesty of justice," Zhao Kuo said, his mouth almost splitting with a smile.

Li Luo nodded. They had never been hit by the four-winged bats in this level, so if the scoring was based on this, no one should be able to surpass them.

As the three of them watched the chaos, the four-winged bats in the hall rampaged for about half an hour before suddenly retreating, forming a black torrent that flowed into the two dark holes at the top of the hall.

Clearly, this level of the test was over.

In the hall, many students, covered in blood, collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, a crystal above the hall began to glow, and a light net quickly scanned over everyone present.

Then, everyone saw that the numbers on their chest crystals started to jump.

"Huh? I have base points, 46 points!"

"I have 50 points here."

"Unlucky, I only have 20 points!"

"..."

Various voices of surprise and disappointment echoed in the hall, creating a chaotic scene.

However, when everyone was rejoicing or lamenting over their points, Li Luo, Zhao Kuo, and Yu Lang at the edge of the hall were in a state of shock.

Because they found that their crystals still showed zero points.

"How is this possible!" Zhao Kuo was dumbfounded.

"We clearly avoided the four-winged bats perfectly!" Yu Lang was also angry, feeling unfairly treated.

Li Luo hesitated for a moment and said, "Could it be that the 'Water Shadow Technique' effect was too good, blocking the detection light, so we were overlooked?"

Zhao Kuo was stunned, could it be that the 'Water Shadow Technique' being too effective was a fault?

"That detection light just now didn't seem to fall on us," Yu Lang said after some thought.

For a moment, the three of them looked at each other, their minds blown.

No one expected such a result... They were originally waiting for full marks, but they were told that they were too well hidden and not found, so they got zero points?

This is too much!

"No way, I have to appeal! This is their mistake!" Yu Lang said angrily.

Li Luo pursed his lips and said, "If we go out now, we will lose our exam eligibility. Forget it, zero points is zero points. Anyway, the base points are just for others to snatch. Besides, there's still another level of the test."

Hearing this, Yu Lang calmed down a bit but couldn't help but grumble.

Li Luo dispelled the Water Shadow Technique, and the three of them revealed their presence, immediately drawing the attention of some people in the hall. When they saw the zero points on Li Luo's and the others' crystals, they were also stunned.

Because they found that even the worst performers in the hall had at least a few points, which were probably performance points, but no one had zero points.

What did Li Luo and the others do?

In the hall, some people laughed with schadenfreude.

Facing those gazes, Li Luo and the others remained expressionless and didn't bother to stay any longer. They quickly walked towards a wooden door on the other side of the hall that was already open.

Damn, so frustrating. They were originally watching the others' misfortunes, but in the end, they became the laughingstock. The ups and downs of life were truly vividly portrayed here.

...

While Li Luo and the others moved on to the next level, at the foot of Bai Ling Mountain, there was also a lot of excitement.

Because on the huge crystal wall, many scores started to jump, and names kept appearing, drawing everyone's attention and causing a series of exclamations.

The scores kept jumping for a while and then gradually stopped. At this moment, the names at the front all had 100 base points.

This was a perfect score in the test.

As expected, names like Lu Qing'er and Shi Kong were at the front.

Many gazes swept over, but suddenly someone exclaimed in surprise because they saw three strange scores...

Zero points?

It should be noted that the lowest score for others was one point, as this was a performance score. But zero points were truly unprecedented.

So when these three zero points appeared, they immediately sparked a lot of discussion.

Especially when they saw one of the names with zero points, there was even more commotion.

Nanfeng Academy, Li Luo.

Wasn't he the young lord of Luo Lan Manor? His fame in Tian Shu County was quite significant. How did he suddenly end up with zero points?

What exactly happened?

"Hey, that zero point, could it be the young lord?" Cai Wei also saw the prominent zero point and her rosy lips slowly opened.

Yan Lingqing rubbed her temples and said, "Who else in Nanfeng Academy is called Li Luo?"

"How could he get zero points?" Cai Wei was somewhat amused and puzzled, what did he do?

Yan Lingqing shrugged, "You ask me, who do I ask?"

"But it doesn't matter. These two levels of the test are just for base points. The final result will be determined by the elimination round."

Cai Wei said helplessly, "This young lord is really a headache."

...

In the pavilion.

The old dean, Director Shi, and Instructor An Lie also saw the three prominent zero points and were somewhat taken aback for a moment.

Then Director Shi laughed, "Old Dean, your students from Nanfeng Academy are quite special."

The old dean frowned, looking at the three names, feeling a bit of a headache. What were these troublemakers doing? It was really embarrassing.

Feeling helpless, he ignored Director Shi's sarcastic words. After all, it was just one level of the test, not that important.

But he hoped that these three troublemakers wouldn't cause more trouble in the next levels, or he would really have to take action.
