Chapter 124: Chapter 123 Why Don’t You Seduce Her? (Second Update!)

Because the exam venue was destroyed by Li Jingjun.

There was a short half-hour break midway.

No one had any objections…

Although no one said it outright, the next person to take the exam seemed to be tacitly understood to be Xu Lingjun.

The two have always competed, contending with each other, and Li Jingjun had already made her move.

I wonder how Xu Lingjun will respond this time?

Can he achieve a miraculous comeback?

“How’s it going?”

Xu Lingjun’s shoulder suddenly felt a slight tap, someone lightly knocked on it.

He turned around and looked.

He met Guo Zheng’s somewhat smug smile, who laughed and said, “What happened, how come you’re so much later than me? I’ve already finished the exam, and you haven’t?”

Guo Zheng’s eyes roamed up and down Xu Lingjun, especially noticing his bloodstained attire and even a few spots of blood on his face. He exclaimed, “It’s just an exam, how did you end up bleeding from seven orifices?”

Luckily, Xu Lingjun still looked well; otherwise, Guo Zheng might have thought he needed to call the police.

“It’s fine; it’s normal to bleed a bit during exams.”

Xu Lingjun smiled and asked, “I’ve reached the final subject, but the exam venue was wrecked, so I need to wait a bit. What about you? You’re done already.”

“Not bad, a total martial score of 594. As long as I can pass the minimum score line in the written test, Central City Martial Mansion is practically guaranteed.”

Guo Zheng chuckled, “If I perform even just a bit above expectations in the written test, maybe I could even reach the line for the Four Great Martial Mansions. Sigh… Turns out one really should have confidence in oneself. If I’d known earlier, I would’ve applied for Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion with you.”

“Alright, but our mentor just said that if you only just meet the line for Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, joining isn’t a wise decision.”

“I’m just venting a little; how many points did you get?”

“I haven’t finished the exam yet, so no idea about the total score.”

Xu Lingjun sighed and said, “This time, it’s not going to be easy.”

Hearing this, Guo Zheng was taken aback. His joking expression softened a bit, with some worry in his eyes. “Is it tough?”

Xu Lingjun nodded, looking towards Li Jingjun, and said, “This evaluation was a bit unexpected. To surpass it, I might need to give it my all, and even then, it might not be enough.”

It’s said that there are special rewards for the top ten, and the higher the ranking, the more substantial the reward.

Naturally, Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but want to score higher too.

“What are you going to do?”

Guo Zheng became anxious.

Thinking that Old Xu might not pass?

That can’t be right; my martial arts cultivation is even worse than Old Xu’s. After training so hard, I’ve only reached the early stage Qi Gathering and still got over 500 points. How come this kid… could it be because he doesn’t have an uncle as an examiner?

Guo Zheng followed Xu Lingjun’s gaze to see someone seriously watching Gu Xi, who was fixing the exam venue.

He was surprised and said, “Your examiner is a woman?”

Xu Lingjun retorted, amazed, “You don’t know about gender equality? This tone, you’ll get a playful punch from feminist advocates.”

“No, I mean if it’s a woman, you’re good at this, seduce her, promise her that if you pass safely, you’ll let her come over at night for free… after all, you’re still a virgin, who said the first time for men isn’t valuable, right?”

Xu Lingjun replied with a loss for words, “It’s unrelated, there’re so many people watching, all I can do is try my best.”

“Sigh, if I had known I would have taken the exam for Central City Martial Mansion with you, at least I have an uncle there, right?”

Guo Zheng sighed, thinking that theoretically, re-examinations aren’t allowed.

Not sure if Old Xu will make the re-evaluation standard… but judging by his serious expression, even a re-exam might be wishful thinking.

“Alright, I’m going to start the exam now.”

Xu Lingjun patted Guo Zheng’s shoulder and smiled, “I initially wanted to finish the exam so I could go watch you and cheer you on, but I didn’t expect you to finish ahead of me. Don’t worry, I’ll be done soon too.”

Saying so.

He walked up to the exam venue and said, “Mentor, I’ll take the next exam.”

Gu Xi patted Xu Lingjun’s shoulder and sincerely said, “You are the one everyone has high hopes for now, don’t have any psychological burden, just perform to your fullest. Remember this, if you exert your utmost but it doesn’t reach, you can be without regret, who can blame you? If you can overcome yourself, that’s already amazing.”

She obviously had a good impression of Xu Lingjun.

Her care for him far surpassed that for Li Jingjun.

It’s just that upon hearing this from afar, Guo Zheng couldn’t help but feel a chill down his back and couldn’t bear to look anymore…

It’s over; even the mentor had to personally offer comfort, it seems Old Xu is really not going to make it this time.

Not sure if there’s still time for Old Xu to charm her, or if adopting her as an aunt would work too.

“Let’s begin.”

Seeing Xu Lingjun standing firmly before the repaired exam venue.

Everyone’s eyes involuntarily focused on him… although miracles are called miracles because they don’t happen readily.

But somehow, Gu Xi felt like she overlooked something very important.

“Did we forget something?”

The Education Bureau.

Amongst the many pavilion masters, Zhang Zhiheng couldn’t help but scratch his head and hesitate, “I feel like I overlooked something.”

“What is it?”

“Don’t know.”

“Focus on the exam.”

Gu Xi took two steps back and pressed the bell in her hand to start the evaluation.

The next moment, Xu Lingjun turned into a whirlwind, charging into the exam venue without hesitation.

No hesitation at all…

If Li Jingjun seemed like a strategic general, appearing rash but long prepared, then Xu Lingjun was like a mad dog off the leash, completely ignoring attacks from both sides.

“What?!”

Gu Xi couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

He… does he want to rely on his speed to make these sensors unable to react faster than light?

This kid is too impulsive, has he lost his mind?

Can he possibly be faster than sensors?

Indeed…

Rushing just a couple of steps.

With his fast and reckless assault, all the sensors instantly activated.

Countless beams of light shot like a curtain at him.

“Move!!!”

Gu Xi screamed.

Simultaneously being hit by so many light beams, there’s a good chance he’d die on the spot, even if he doesn’t, he’d probably…

Uh…

The countless beams hit Xu Lingjun’s back.

His speed didn’t slow but instead, increased by threefold.

Pop pop pop~~~

His already tattered, blood-stained clothes turned into rags instantly.

Beneath the rags, his body displayed several fine red marks from where he was hit.

Gu Xi: “……”

Guo Zheng: “……”

Li Jingjun: “……”

Li Tianlai shouted in surprise, “I damn well know what we forgot; this kid just took the full blast from Qiantian Gang Qi!”

“But any of these ray attacks exceed that hit.”

“That’s why he’s covered in red marks.”

Zhou Qingwan’s face flushed slightly.

Staring at Xu Lingjun in his ragged clothes still steaming lightly, looking as if freshly baked.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

If Zong Xiaoping used the most traditional method, deftly avoiding all ray attacks.

Then Li Jingjun’s clever maneuver looked like it diverted all directed rays.

But Xu Lingjun, damn, just barged through heedlessly, be it light beams or points or triangles, he didn’t care one bit.

He got hit by all the rays.

Side, chest, hands, feet, and that endearing face we worry about…

But it’s alright.

The hits landed on his body, but it only made him faster.

“Is it… that secret skill from Taobao, Lightweight Step?”

Gu Xi couldn’t help but gasp aloud.

If this weren’t purely light rays, but energy, they’d be accompanied by wind sounds like a person’s attack, from this point, Lightweight Step’s speed really could be triggered if this was a secret skill.

There wasn’t much time for her to be surprised.

Xu Lingjun rushed in with a trail of spark and lightning, his clothes still aflame and smoke rising from his body, looking like he just emerged from an oven.

Xu Lingjun asked, while rubbing the sore spots on his body, “How many points did I score, teacher?”
