Chapter 129: Tang Nian Bing, Mock Exam Begins!

Su Yu never imagined that, as soon as he came out, he would be seen as such a person.

Having no choice, Su Yu could only explain what happened yesterday.

After hearing that, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

Du Nian Guan sighed, patted Su Yu on the shoulder, and then said.

"Su Yu, we're all men—I get it—but using such a lame excuse makes us feel like idiots."

After saying that, Du Nian Guan greeted the people before him.

"Come on, why are you still standing here? Don't you get Su Yu's implication?"

Everyone chuckled and followed Du Nian Guan out of the hotel.

Su Yu became even more bewildered.

He watched Du Nian Guan and the others leave, then glanced at the adorably dazed Ling Er, suddenly feeling a headache for no reason.

Suddenly, Ling Er looked sharply in a direction.

"Someone's coming!"

Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his head to look.

A girl in white training clothes suddenly appeared beside Su Yu, her gaze icy cold like frozen ice.

That naked stare made Su Yu's face sting.

Su Yu's brows furrowed slightly.

"Who are you?"

Before the white-clad girl could speak, Ling Er beside her spoke up.

"Tang Nian Bing, disciple of the Northern King."

Su Yu's pupils contracted sharply.

Another Enfeoffed King's disciple.

Since entering Zhen Nan City, plus Ling Er, I've already seen two Enfeoffed King's disciples.

Do you know how few Enfeoffed Kings there are among the Human Race?

Setting aside those Enfeoffed Kings who have taken no disciples,

the number of Enfeoffed King's disciples is definitely under twenty.

Yet today, I actually ran into two of them directly.

With odds like that, not buying a lottery ticket would be a real loss.

Su Yu's gaze gradually grew solemn.

Unlike Ling Er, the gaze Tang Nian Bing directed at Su Yu was that of a superior sizing up an inferior.

"Hmph, you're still the Slay Dragon King's disciple—just like your master, a scumbag!"

Tang Nian Bing sized up Su Yu, then his gaze fell on Ling Er, and he snorted coldly.

Su Yu was bewildered again.

What's going on? How did I become a scumbag?

Su Yu looked at Tang Nian Bing and Ling Er, scratched his head, and said.

"Miss, are we acquainted?"

Tang Nian Bing didn't answer Su Yu's question, but instead said to herself.

"My teacher sent me to find you, saying fate lies with you—I don't know if the teacher's blind, actually thinking someone like you deserves me."

Tang Nian Bing's face gradually turned icy.

"I didn't expect you to start flirting before the college entrance exam even ended."

Ling Er walked straight up to Su Yu, her small frame seeming to shield him from behind.

Her big, watery eyes were filled with hostility.

"My husband is mine—no one can take him away!"

Instantly, a violent surge of energy burst from Ling Er's body.

Between heaven and earth, it seemed to be filled with the scent of spring.

And on Ling Er, a dark-gold radiance instantly appeared.

Dark-gold!

Su Yu's pupils constricted.

"Flawless Golden Body!"

This was the first time Su Yu had seen someone with a Flawless Golden Body.

Only see, the dark-gold golden body slowly emerged, upon which five lines were clearly visible.

"Fivefold Flawless Golden Body!"

Su Yu's mind was shaken again.

No one knows better than Su Yu how difficult it is to advance the Flawless Golden Body.

To go from a first-stage to a fifth-stage Flawless Golden Body, the resources required are terrifying.

The demand for talent is intense.

Yet this little girl, who looks even younger than me, already possesses a fifth-stage Flawless Golden Body.

With such terrifying power, even on the Daxia Heavenly Pride Ranking she'd be famous.

Thinking of this, Su Yu began recalling the data from the Daxia Heavenly Pride Ranking.

Finally, he paused before a line of text.

"Heavenly Pride Ranking 78th, Wu Ling'er, Fivefold Flawless Golden Body!"

At this moment, Su Yu finally looked with a solemn expression toward Wu Ling'er in front of him.

Being seventy-eighth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking is no small matter.

You should know, the Heavenly Pride Ranking only lists human prodigies between eighteen and twenty-five years old.

At eighteen years old, ranking seventy-eighth already shows how monstrous he is.

In front of him, Tang Nian Bing stared intently at Ling Er, then coldly said.

"As a disciple of the Charm King, no wonder."

She didn't look at Ling Er, but turned her gaze to Su Yu.

"Hmph, scumbag!"

Having said that, she turned and left directly.

Su Yu touched his nose, his expression becoming even more dazed.

What's going on? I clearly did nothing, so why am I being called a scumbag?

Watching Tang Nian Bing leave, Ling Er slowly retracted her aura, her small hands linking Su Yu's arm.

"Honey, that bad woman is gone."

Su Yu tried to pull his arm out, but found that Ling Er's two slender arms, though appearing to exert no force, could not be moved no matter how hard he tried.

Helpless, he could only give up that idea.

Su Yu sighed.

"What the heck, why do I keep running into weirdos today."

Ling Er beside him widened her eyes, looking at Su Yu in a dazed, cute way.

"Are you saying I'm a weirdo, honey?"

As she spoke, her eyes began to well up with tears.

Su Yu hurried to comfort her.

"How could I, I meant that bad woman."

Flustered, he managed to comfort Ling Er.

At this moment, Ling Er finally spoke.

"She is a disciple of the North King; I heard the teacher say that initially both the teacher and the North King admired the Slay Dragon King, but in the end the teacher obtained the Slay Dragon King."

"The North King, unable to accept this, fought the teacher, but it ended in a draw; from that battle onward, a grudge formed between teacher and North King, and thereafter they kept to their own spheres."

Hearing Ling Er's words, Su Yu felt even more helpless.

It turns out it's all the teacher's fault.

But speaking of which, the teacher is really formidable, actually making two King-Conferred Strong Ones so enamored that they even came to blows over it.

However, what interests Su Yu most is the words the teacher received from the Charm King.

Su Yu chuckled to himself.

"Next time I see the teacher, I must definitely ask what's going on."

After figuring out the reason, Su Yu shrugged his shoulders.

"If that's the case, let's go; otherwise we'll be late."

Saying that, he took Ling Er and walked toward the center of Zhen'nan City.

Today is the day the mock exam begins.

It is also the liveliest day for the whole Zhen'nan City.

Although the mock exam cannot compare to the college entrance exam, for the southern regions it is still a grand occasion.

After all, those who can take the mock exam are the prodigies from each province.

Wanting to see so many prodigies in a single day is not that easy.

This time's mock exam was arranged in a gymnasium at the center of Zhen'nan City.

Right now, outside the gymnasium there is a sea of people, many of whom want to get in.

But without tickets, they can only watch the situation via the big screen at the gymnasium entrance.

Inside the gymnasium, the stands that can hold tens of thousands of spectators have long been filled to capacity.

Cheers and noise rise and fall within the gymnasium.

Su Yu entered the gymnasium through an exclusive passage.

As for Ling Er, she went into another passage.

People from each region enter through different passages; under Ling Er's reluctant gaze, Su Yu finally entered the exclusive passage for Jiangnan Province.

Having entrusted Ling Er, Su Yu finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

"Finally free, being single really is the best—why look for a girlfriend!"

Su Yu couldn't help but sigh, then immediately walked into the exclusive lounge for Jiangnan Province.

Upon entering, gazes fell upon Su Yu one after another.

They even glanced at his back.

Even Jiang Shang couldn't help but glance at Su Yu.

Su Yu's mouth twitched slightly.

Finally, Jiang Shang stood up and coughed.

"Cough, cough, Su Yu, you should still restrain yourself; although I don't oppose you, the most important thing right now is the college entrance exam."

Having said that, he gestured for Su Yu to sit down.

Su Yu felt even more helpless inside.

Well then, it's been completely misunderstood now.

Without much explanation, Su Yu sat in his place and began to close his eyes to nurture his spirit.

Time flowed slowly.

After a moment, Su Yu opened his eyes and slowly looked through the window into the gymnasium.

All that could be seen was a sturdy figure that suddenly descended from the sky and heavily struck the ground.

It stirred up waves of disturbance.

Immediately, the entire scene fell silent.

As the dust cleared, an old man whose body was filled with muscle appeared in everyone's view.

"I announce that the mock exam officially begins!"

The old man's faint voice echoed.

Immediately after, waves of cheers rose.

In the Jiangnan Sheng resting room, upon hearing those words, everyone also stood up one after another and walked out.

Walking out of the resting room, there were small classrooms one after another.

Su Yu entered the corresponding classroom according to his number.

The classroom was not large, just enough to accommodate one person.

Inside the classroom there was only a small table and a small chair, and on the table was a metal helmet.

Su Yu went straight to his seat and then put the helmet on his head.

Immediately, Su Yu felt the scene before his eyes suddenly twist.

Immediately afterward, he found himself at the foot of a mountain.

Around him, mist and clouds twined, like a fairyland scenery.

Su Yu looked up.

One set of stairs extended from the mountain base all the way to the summit.

He counted them—there were a hundred steps, exactly enough to reach the summit.

Su Yu's mouth twitched slightly, he stepped forward and walked onto the first step.

At the same time, outside.

On the big screen, names of heavenly prodigies appeared one after another.

"Yun Xiu, Shu Land, score: 0"

"Wu Ling'er, Jingdu, score: 0"

"Tang Nian Bing, North Area, score: 0"

"Nan Shou Ren, Zhen Nan City, score: 0"

"Su Yu, Jiangnan Sheng, score: 0"

As each name appeared, all the spectators became excited.

"It's started, it's started, the mock exam has finally begun!"
