Chapter 21

"Get out... now."

Chu Heng waved his hand.

There was no point in asking.

He might as well wait for the grading.

A moment later.

Wu Xiaofang submitted his paper, turned his head, and saw that seat number 109 was already empty. He sneered.

Lin Beichen, I don’t believe you can still score high in this subject.

The difficulty of herbal medicine and pill preparation is much higher than that of the Empire's modern history.

The latter is purely memorization.

The former, however, requires various understandings, judgments, and inferences.

It even requires some experimental and practical foundation.

This isn’t something you can improve by cramming at the last minute.

Just wait to be crushed, scum.

Wu Xiaofang left the examination room with full confidence.

Half an hour later, the students began to submit their papers one after another.

Time flew by.

The time for submission arrived.

In the examination room, there was a chorus of groans.

"Ah, I didn’t finish..."

"It’s even harder than the Empire's modern history."

"Don’t even talk about it, I’m already in pieces."

Under the urging of the instructors, the students gradually left the examination room.

Grade Director Chu Heng couldn’t wait and said, "Quick, quick, start grading. I want the results as soon as possible..."

Everyone knew what he meant by "results."

Without his urging, the grading instructors had already begun their "battle."

This time, from the start of the exam, they had used mystical pattern projections to watch Lin Beichen’s entire answering process. Although they couldn’t see the content on the test paper, they could confirm that there was no obvious cheating. His posture and speed were almost identical to the previous exam.

So, can he still score a perfect score?

Everyone wanted to know the answer.

Time passed quickly.

An hour later, the grading was complete.

"I really have a perfect score here."

Old Instructor Hou stood up, his voice trembling.

Chu Heng said directly, "Quick, remove the anonymity and see who it is."

...

...

In the stone board area.

"Heavens, I must be seeing things..."

"Another... perfect score?"

"How did he do it?"

"Twelve points higher than the second place, that’s a bit exaggerated."

"Terrifying."

The exclamations of the grade students rose and fell, the atmosphere on the scene seemed to explode.

Everyone saw the name hanging at the very top of the stone board.

Three characters—

Lin Beichen.

And the terrifying score—

100 points.

Another perfect score.

The second place, Mu Xinyue, only scored 88 points.

The third place, Wu Xi, 87 points.

The fourth place, Si Xinlin, 85 points.

The fifth place, Gao Min, 84 points.

The sixth place was Wu Xiaofang, 82 points.

Everyone could see that Wu Xiaofang had made a mistake in this exam.

"This is impossible, impossible."

Wu Xiaofang’s face was pale, muttering to himself.

Not only did he fail to crush Lin Beichen, but he was 18 points behind.

These 18 points were like 18 loud slaps, repeatedly striking, swelling his face.

Mu Xinyue, standing not far away, was no less shocked and angry than Wu Xiaofang.

She was still in second place.

It sounded like just one rank difference.

But it was a full 12 points.

These 12 points seemed like an insurmountable chasm, clearly showing the huge gap between her and Lin Beichen.

This scoundrel, how did he do it?

His previous grades were so poor, how did he suddenly...

Was he just pretending all along?

Is he actually a genius?

Mu Xinyue’s heart turned cold, and a faint sense of regret began to surface.

"No, I absolutely cannot regret it."

"I didn’t do anything wrong."

"If there’s blame, it’s on Lin Beichen, the scoundrel."

"Hehe, Lin Beichen, don’t get too cocky. The written test scores only account for 30% of the overall ranking. Even if you get two perfect scores, you will eventually show your true colors in the practical test!"

Mu Xinyue clenched her fists.

The other second-year geniuses, looking at the published scores and rankings on the stone board, also showed signs of unwillingness in their eyes.

Losing to other geniuses was acceptable.

But losing to a notorious, trash among trash, was unbearable for anyone.

At this moment, Lin Beichen’s name became the common enemy of all second-year geniuses.

However, three hours later.

When the first day of the written test content was completely over, the geniuses’ hearts

, felt a bit bitter.

Because the final written test score for the "Mystical Pattern Theory" was announced.

Lin Beichen’s name, like a recurring nightmare, once again topped the stone board.

Still a consistent 100 points.

This notorious wastrel had achieved his third perfect score in the written test.

The written test had three subjects.

All three subjects were perfect scores.

At the moment the scores were announced, many experienced instructors were even a bit dazed.

Because it was too impressive.

Such performance was truly astonishing.

Looking at the major primary schools in Yunmeng City, no one in the past ten years had achieved perfect scores in all three written test subjects in the joint examination.

This was a record.

A terrifying record that no one had ever achieved before.

All second-year students felt thoroughly crushed.

A complete, unreasonable, and unresistable absolute crushing.

Even the most arrogant second-year geniuses like Wu Xiaofang, Mu Xinyue, Gao Min, Si Xinlin, and Wu Xi had to admit that even if they were given another chance, no, even ten chances, they could not achieve such a perfect score in the joint examination’s theoretical test.

So, they could only stand there and take the beating.

Want to fight back?

No way.

On this day, they were destined to be the humble stepping stones under Lin Beichen’s towering glory.

...

"Immediately seal and report all the mystical pattern projections of Lin Beichen’s three exams to the Yunmeng City Joint Examination Committee. Such scores are too shocking. The major primary schools will certainly suspect cheating and will repeatedly verify the exam process. We cannot let them find any reason to doubt."

In the meeting room, Grade Director Chu Heng said with excitement.

He couldn’t help but be excited.

For a long time, in the joint examination of Yunmeng City’s primary schools, the Third School had been repeatedly crushed by other students. Now, a genius had finally appeared, achieving a record-breaking high score, finally allowing them to turn the tide.

It was a moment of pride and relief.

Even if it was just the highest score in the written test, which had the smallest weight, it was still worth celebrating.

Even the smallest record is still a record.

Try to break it?

Chu Heng could already imagine the satisfaction of standing up to the grade directors of other schools during the academic exchange meeting.

So, this exam record must be preserved intact.

Let those who want to doubt find no fault.
