Chapter 85

But she had long been accustomed to this, walking straight up to Zhao Chi.

Hua Hua Yuyin smiled and said, "Zhao Chi, let's form a team."

Yang Xiong, Lu Yi, and Duan Yun all exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?"

Zhao Chi flatly refused, "Not yet. I still need time to develop."

Hua Hua Yuyin nodded, "Of course, I didn't mean right now. Later, for the joint tests and participating in military battles, teams will be necessary. How can one person fight high-difficulty magical beasts alone?"

Zhao Chi nodded, "Naturally, for those high-level and top-tier magical beasts, teaming up is a must, but that's still too far off for us right now."

Hua Hua Yuyin said, "I know, but I wanted to tell you this requirement first. Whenever you want to join a group in the future, we will welcome you."

"You?"

"Yes, me, Zhou Lue, and Lang Hu."

"Zhou Lue? Lang Hu?"

Zhao Chi couldn't help but look toward the direction of Class 9 and Class 10.

Many people over there were looking back.

Among them, a tall, thin student with narrow eyes was Zhou Lue.

Zhou Lue waved at Zhao Chi.

Beside Zhou Lue was a short male student; that was Lang Hu, who looked like the type who was ruthless and didn't talk much.

Lang Hu also nodded at Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi waved back to acknowledge them.

Yang Xiong asked in astonishment, "Isn't Lang Hu in Class 10? Isn't he joining Yuan Zhao's group?"

Hua Hua Yuyin smiled, "Being in the same class doesn't necessarily mean you have a good relationship. Zhao Chi should understand that best."

Zhao Chi nodded, "That's true... but still, as I said, it's too early. Let's talk about the future when the time comes."

Hua Hua Yuyin nodded, "Mm, you took first place in the practical test this time, which proves yourself. But this was only the first test; keep working hard for the next monthly exam. Bye~"

Hua Hua Yuyin walked away gracefully.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Proctoring space.

The instructors were quickly reviewing the test results.

They filtered out the controversial ones to be voted on by the 10 head instructors and the grade head instructor—11 people in total.

The minority obeys the majority.

The head instructor, You You Shengjun, said:

"Alright, that leaves the last point of contention... it concerns Zhao Chi from Class 4.

"In the final stage, Zhao Chi acquired the Slime racial bloodline in a thrilling manner.

"However, Instructor Li Li Ruanyu had already descended at that time, and according to regulations, she must kill the magical beast immediately.

"Yet, Instructor Li Li Ruanyu waited on-site for 5 seconds, waiting until Zhao Chi had completely acquired the Slime bloodline before killing the Slime.

"This behavior violates the examination regulations and is suspected of providing extra confidence to the student, assisting the student in scoring.

"According to the rules, Zhao Chi's corresponding score should be deducted, which is 10 points.

"If so, his ranking will drop to second place, and the final first place should be Zhou Lue from Class 9.

"Mm... alright, that is the point of contention. Instructor Li may express her opinion."

Li Li Ruanyu looked helplessly at Li Yin, the head instructor of Class 9.

Li Yin spread his hands, "Don't look at me; this point of contention wasn't submitted by me."

These were all submitted anonymously.

Besides these head instructors, there were many ordinary instructors on-site assisting with the review.

Li Li Ruanyu nodded:

"Everyone should have just watched the combat replay.

"At that time, Zhao Chi was completely trapped inside the Emperor Slime, in danger of suffocating at any moment.

"According to the rules, I immediately entered his territory to rescue him.

"But when I entered, I saw that Zhao Chi still had a strong will to fight; he was using a Flame Curse Talisman from a novice treasure chest to blast the inside of the Slime.

"I judged that his goal was the Slime bloodline.

"And although he was in a critical situation at the time, he hadn't reached the point of suffocation, so I also followed the regulations and did not interfere with the student's actions.

"It wasn't until Zhao Chi rushed out of the Slime's body at the end that the Slime was about to launch a powerful attack, which is why I acted at that moment.

"Therefore, when I entered, Zhao Chi was not in life-threatening danger, so I chose to wait.

"After Zhao Chi rushed out of the Slime's body, the Slime attacked; I judged that only then was he in life-threatening danger, so I acted.

"I did indeed wait on-site for 5 seconds, but Zhao Chi only discovered me after he had rushed out of the Slime's body.

"I did not provide him with any confidence-boosting help, so I did not violate the regulations; everything was in accordance with the relevant rules.

"I request the head instructor to review this."

You You Shengjun nodded, "Do any of the head instructors have any questions?"

The other 9 head instructors all shook their heads.

"Good, then let's vote. Head instructors who believe Instructor Li's actions complied with the regulations and that there is no need to deduct Zhao Chi's corresponding points, please raise your hands."

You You Shengjun raised his hand.

6 other head instructors raised their hands.

You You Shengjun nodded, "A total of 7 people agree not to deduct points, so the last point of contention is resolved. The final ranking will not be changed. Alright, let's go back."

In an instant, the figures of the head instructors disappeared, and they all arrived at the auditorium.

Dean Liao Zheng smiled, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Is everything confirmed?"

You You Shengjun nodded at Liao Zheng.

Liao Zheng cleared his throat.

He said in a booming voice:

"Students, please be quiet. This test is now completely over, and the rankings are fixed. Now, we will begin distributing the prizes.

"First is everyone's credit award, which has now been sent to each student; please take a look.

"If there are any problems, report them to your respective head instructors first."

All students received a system notification.

Zhao Chi also received his:

[The 337th Freshman Lord Entrance Test has ended]

[Class Ranking]

[1st Place] Primary Class 10

[2nd Place] Primary Class 9

[3rd Place] Primary Class 1

[4th Place] Primary Class 8

[5th Place] Primary Class 5

[Individual Ranking]

[1st Place] Class 4: Zhao Chi

[2nd Place] Class 9: Zhou Lue

[3rd Place] Class 10: Yuan Zhao

[4th Place] Class 1: Hua Hua Yuyin

[5th Place] Class 8: Wei Wei Jinlong

[Your credits have increased by 138 points; current total credits: 220 points]

Zhao Chi did a quick calculation; it was correct.

He had accumulated 82 credits over the previous 2 years.

This time, first place awarded 100 credits. Passing 8 stages earned a total of 36 credits. There was also the class ranking, which earned 2 credits.

That made a total of 220 credits.

Class 4 ranked 9th this time; although Zhao Chi's total score was first, contributing quite a bit to the class score.

But unfortunately, the results of the others were too average.
