Chapter 130: Perfect Score in Theory, Shocking the Entire Audience!

It's started, it's started!

After waiting so long, the mock exam has finally begun.

Yeah, I've been waiting for several days, and finally I can see the heavenly pride from my southern region, but... why are there also people from Jingdu and the northern region on this list?

Whether inside the gymnasium or outside, the spectators all turned their gazes to the big screen.

On the big screen, although there was no image, as the scores those heavenly pride earned in the virtual world appeared, one could know the situation.

After all, for the theory exam, images and such aren't that important.

But the fact that the names of heavenly pride from Jingdu and the northern region appeared on the list left some spectators in the audience puzzled.

Who cares, just watch it—whether they're from the south or north, they're all Daxia's heavenly pride.

Some carefree spectators said indifferently.

At the same time, in an office of the Martial Artists Association.

Several figures silently watched the screen before them.

The Southern King himself also appeared among them, seated in the chief position.

At that moment, a thin middle‑aged man smiled and spoke.

I never expected that the disciples of the Northern King and the Enchanting King would also show up here, but of course—since the Slay Dragon King's disciple has appeared in the world, these two have begun to feel anxious.

The speaker was the person in charge of the Capital Martial Academy, named Yan Wu, who is likewise a Great Sun Grand Master powerhouse.

The Capital Martial Academy is one of the five great academies of Daxia.

The five great academies of Daxia are, respectively, the Capital Martial Academy, the Modu Academy, the First Military School, the Ancestral Dragon Academy, and finally the Cloud Academy.

To become one of the five great academies, the most fundamental requirement is to have a King‑Conferred Strong One stationed there.

Thus it can be said that the deans of the five great academies are each a renowned King‑Conferred Strong One.

Now this is interesting—a mock exam actually features four inheritors of King‑Conferred Strong Ones: the Southern King, and Ling Gongzi, who ranks eighty‑fifth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, looks like he's going to top this mock exam!

An old man stroked his beard and chuckled.

This person, Hu Shi, is the person in charge of the Cloud Academy.

The Southern King looked at the screen and gave a faint smile.

It's just that he's at the tail end of the Heavenly Pride Ranking—far from enough.

Although the Southern King said that, one could still hear a hint of pride in his words.

After all, reaching the Heavenly Pride Ranking at eighteen years old is no easy feat.

Moreover, the Southern King's son has already achieved an eighty‑fifth place ranking.

That's hardly something to scoff at.

Everyone congratulated him, except for a middle‑aged man sitting at the very back, who silently clutched an ancient sword case and said nothing.

Yan Wu glanced at the middle‑aged man at the rear and gave a light smile.

He said, 'Brother Li, your Qianlong Academy's coming to the southern region this time is unprecedented—your Qianlong Academy has always kept a low profile, never actively recruiting students, so why did you suddenly show up today? Is the Qianlong Academy unable to sustain itself?'

Li Zhangsheng gave Yan Wu a faint glance.

If you can't speak, just shut your mouth—I don't mind helping you sew it shut.

You!

A flicker of annoyance crossed Yan Wu's face, then he let out a cold snort.

I think the Qianlong Academy is going to decline—just look at how great its former dean was; who would have thought that in your hands it would get worse year by year, and today you're not even willing to uphold the former dean's dying wish!

As soon as his words fell, only a clear 'ding' sound was heard.

A rust‑streaked long sword instantly rested against Yan Wu's neck, as if as soon as Yan Wu uttered a single word, that rust‑streaked long sword would slash his throat.

Beads of sweat trickled down Yan Wu's face.

Enough!

The Southern King's brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice.

Li Zhangsheng then withdrew his long sword and spoke calmly.

Who told you I came to recruit students?

Li Zhangsheng took out a wine gourd and poured it straight into his mouth.

After drinking his fill, Li Zhangsheng then slowly said.

I came… merely to prevent some people from threatening the juniors.

Having said that, he fell silent again, merely sitting in his seat, sipping his little wine, with nobody paying him any heed.

Hmph!

A glint of resentment flashed in Yan Wu's eyes, he gave a cold snort and said nothing more, turning his gaze to the screen.

At that moment, in the virtual space.

Su Yu stepped onto the first tier.

Suddenly, before Su Yu, two different spiritual medicines appeared.

May I ask, the lower spiritual medicine has the effect of invigorating blood, dispelling stasis, and enhancing the richness of Qi and Blood.

Looking at the question, Su Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly.

He merely glanced at it and filled in the answer.

With the answer being correct.

A light shone on the second tier.

Su Yu smiled slightly and stepped onto the second tier.

Indeed, interesting!

Su Yu glanced up at the ninety‑plus tiers ahead and smiled slightly.

For Su Yu, theory was completely just aiming for full marks.

Whether in Hengcheng or in the Heavenly Pride Battalion, Su Yu had basically maxed out his theory points.

It was basically not difficult at all.

In an instant, Su Yu began answering questions quickly.

And at this moment, outside.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the big screen.

Looking at the names above, they flickered one by one.

"First place, Tang Nian Bing, 25 points!"

"Second place, Nan Shou Ren, 24 points!"

"Third place, Wu Ling'er, 24 points!"

"Fourth place, Yun Xiu, 23 points!"

Those in the top four were, surprisingly, the hot contenders for top scorer in this mock exam.

"Hiss, Tang Nian Bing is somewhat impressive; just a few minutes passed and he already scored 25 points—too terrifying!"

"Not bad, indeed somewhat impressive. However, Nan Shou Ren is also not bad; it's said that Nan Shou Ren is the son of the Southern King, his cultivation has reached the Three Revolutions Golden Body, and moreover it's the legendary Flawless Golden Body!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, this time can be considered a gathering of heavenly pride."

Many people sighed.

"Eh, why can't I see Su Yu's name? Oh, found it—only fourteenth?"

"Su Yu? Who is Su Yu?"

"You don't even know Su Yu? He's a disciple of the Slay Dragon King! When the Wanzu Tongdao appeared in Hengcheng before, Su Yu actually killed a Bright Moon Grand Master!"

"Tch, just relying on external force? What's there to praise?"

Someone said disdainfully.

"Moreover, Su Yu is still only fourteenth, hasn't even entered the top ten; I think that rumor is just Jiangnan Province stirring up public opinion, overhyping it."

Someone had no good feeling toward Su Yu.

Really, in their stereotypical view, a province that's always at the bottom—what kind of genius could it produce?

It's just hype.

However, just as everyone was discussing.

Su Yu's name actually surged like a rocket.

Thirteenth place!

Twelfth place!

Eleventh place!

Fifth place!

In just two or three minutes, Su Yu's score surged to forty points, and his rank reached the terrifying level of fifth place!

This moment's change instantly shook all the spectators present.

"What!"

"This Su Yu's rank actually surged to fifth place in an instant!"

"How is this possible? Could it be that he was hiding his talent all along? No way."

Countless spectators' pupils contracted as they exclaimed.

For a moment, Su Yu became the hot topic of discussion among all spectators.

"However, although the increase is so rapid, it's only fifth place after all; after all, look at the four ahead of Su Yu—they're all top-tier monsters!"

"That's right, especially the Southern King's son, who has now answered fifty questions, and moreover the later questions get harder; although Su Yu could be so fast earlier, his speed later might fall behind."

"Indeed, look at Su Yu's current speed—hasn't it slowed down?"

Everyone discussed variously.

However, just at the moment the words fell.

Su Yu's score surged again.

Forty points!

Forty-five points!

Fifty points!

In just a minute, Su Yu actually surged fifty points.

He reached the fourth-place score, directly pushing Yun Xiu down.

"Hiss!"

The crowd that had been saying Su Yu couldn't do it, seeing this scene, sucked in a cold breath.

But still someone sneered.

"As a disciple of the Slay Dragon King, surpassing Yun Xiu is normal, but wanting to surpass the Southern King's sons would be somewhat difficult."

"I estimate Su Yu's limit is right here."

"Hehe, I don't think so; if Su Yu maintains this speed, maybe even Nan Shou Ren and company might not be able to hold their ranks."

Someone gave a hehe laugh and presented a counter-opinion.

For a moment, whether inside or outside the gym, because of Su Yu, an argument broke out.

Just as everyone was arguing.

On the screen, Su Yu's score again began to surge like a rocket.

Fifty points!

Sixty points!

Seventy points!

Ninety points!

Ninety-five points!

Terrifying speed, in an instant surpassing Tang Nian Bing, Nan Shou Ren, and Wu Ling'er three people above, successfully reaching first place.

Everyone's arguing voices, after Su Yu reached the top, began to gradually weaken.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at Su Yu's scores on the screen, falling into silence.

Especially seeing Tang Nian Bing, who was in second place, now only having eighty points, made them even more silent.

In the next moment, Su Yu's score rose from ninety-five points to ninety-nine points!

That is to say, Su Yu successfully completed ninety-nine theoretical questions, leaving only the last one!

"Too terrifying!"

Someone shook their head and let out admiration.

"I just don't know if Su Yu can answer the last question correctly; generally speaking, the final tough question, even these top-tier geniuses might not be able to answer it!"

Someone whispered their discussion.

In the next moment, above the screen, after Su Yu's name.

The score of ninety-nine points changed.

Leapt....

Reached one hundred points!

Full marks!
