This is too hilarious!

40. Easily get a perfect score

As over three hundred first-year high school students focus their efforts on developing their mental discipline, the school's teaching methods are gradually changing.

For students who haven't yet developed their inner strength, teachers tend to criticize and belittle them more.

As for the students who had already condensed their inner demons, the teachers began to humiliate them...

Initially, the degree is naturally very low, but as time goes on, this phenomenon will become more and more serious—under relatively reasonable pressure, the mental demon will grow faster...

Although it's a bit outrageous, it's still somewhat understandable considering the nature of the Heart Demon.

With the midterm exams approaching, the attention of almost the entire school's teachers and students has been drawn to the exams.

The long-tongued parrots also began to shift their focus, gathering in the air above the examination hall, their beautiful plumage swirling around them.

Even the long-tongued parrots, which are rarely seen on ordinary days and are from the second or even third year of high school, finally showed their presence in front of Bai Hui!

His Xingyi Quan has reached LV.2, and the variant part used to simulate the long-tongued parrot has naturally been improved to a certain extent.

At this moment, he was using the "Simple Lines" camera, constantly scanning the teachers and students outside the examination hall and the circling long-tongued parrots, searching for a suitable target.

Midterm exams are coming up!

Beside Bai Hui, Feng Jue took a deep breath, his brows furrowed, his fists clenched, and even his voice trembled slightly.

Although he studied with the study group this week, he also experienced a lot of psychological manipulation at home because of his "failure" in the last monthly exam, and his mental pressure was almost off the charts!

Now, it's finally his time to prove himself!

If he can significantly improve his grades in this exam, then for some time afterward, it will be difficult for his two accomplices in the household to find any serious reason to criticize or insult him.

This also allows him to gain a respite, the duration of which is uncertain, and to rely on his own mental fortitude to slowly heal the trauma left by years of PUA...

"This time, my goal is to score over 900!"

Feng Jue's gaze gradually hardened, to the point that it appeared quite cold.

Its aura fluctuated, emanating a faint "keep away" aura, causing the temperature around it to drop several degrees, making those nearby feel a chill...

Bai Hui glanced at him, thinking to himself that according to the knowledge of Heart-Slaying Aura in the textbook, at this rate, it probably wouldn't be long before Feng Jue was able to add special attributes to his Heart-Slaying Aura...

So, it's all about the 'cold' attribute right from the start? Bai Hui thought to himself that if the time was right, he could try using the [Ultimate Color] ability to embody Feng Jue.

If he could also add the 'cold' attribute to his own Heart Fiend, then not only would the range and categories of martial arts he could choose and learn be expanded, but more importantly... he would no longer need to go to the convenience store outside the school to buy ice cups to make iced Americanos!

It saves you money and also helps you hone your martial arts skills – a win-win situation!

Thinking it over, Bai Hui smiled and said, "Then good luck."

"We must keep going!"

Feng Jue nodded seriously, then turned to Bai Hui: "And you, Bai Hui, what's your target score for this exam?"

"I?"

Bai Hui looked up at the sky, having roughly determined his target.

"Just get a perfect score on the basic test."

"?"

Feng Jue was taken aback.

Li Youye curled her lips and said, "You're just bragging! If you said you got around a thousand points, that would be somewhat believable, but a perfect score on the basics?"

How did you manage to get a perfect score on the essay?!

Bai Hui exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! You even remember the total score?"

"Of course!"

Li Youye smiled smugly.

Bai Hui didn't explain much, he just smiled and said, "Alright, you guys go into the exam room first, I'll go to the restroom and be right back."

After saying that, Bai Hui turned and left, pretending to stretch his arms and legs, but his movements were a little strange... his arms were bent and his elbows swayed slightly, like some kind of bird flapping its wings.

At the same time, he slightly shook his head and looked around, appearing suspicious and as if he had a secret.

High in the sky, several keen-eyed long-tongued parrots noticed Bai Hui's unusual behavior, broke away from the circling flock, and quietly followed Bai Hui.

He walked with the steps of a patrol, his movements silent and somewhat eerie.

The long-tongued parrot, a first-year high school student, therefore had difficulty catching up with Bai Hui.

……

"Report……"

Five minutes before the exam started, Bai Hui arrived at the exam room and gave a somewhat incoherent report.

The other students in the examination room were already seated. Upon hearing this, they all looked at Bai Hui. The youthful hearts of the 29 students formed a faint aura, and their curious or disdainful gazes created a psychological pressure on Bai Hui.

However, Bai Hui didn't care.

After all, he's currently using "Simple Lines".

Moreover, the difference between the two sides was simply too great—aside from the proctor, the mental strength of each candidate present was only around 0.1 to 0.3, which could be directly perceived by Bai Hui's [Simple Lines] vision!

Furthermore, due to differences in upbringing and family environment, the inner strength that each person cultivates also has subtle differences.

Uneven quality.

The mental energy field they formed was nothing special to Bai Hui.

The proctor frowned: "Why are you only arriving now? Don't you know the exact exam time?!"

"I've already finished the first semester, teacher."

Bai Hui continued to speak vaguely.

The proctor scoffed, "Lazy oxen and lazy horses produce lots of excrement! Get in here now!"

Bai Hui then took his seat.

Then came the academic exams—although after condensing the Heart Qi, students' grades mainly depended on their performance on the martial arts stage, academic subjects could not be completely ignored. After all, the level of cognition could greatly influence a person's rational resilience.

If one lacks sufficient knowledge and understanding, one will not go far on this path of martial arts that ultimately aims to turn the supernatural into legends...

Not long after, the bell rang to start the exam, and at the invigilator's command, the students began to answer the questions.

Bai Hui had a long-tongued parrot from the senior year of high school pinned under his tongue, and he also had [Simple Lines] to help estimate the score.

With the added extra effort during this period, the academic exams were basically no challenge for Bai Hui.

He arrived at the exam hall almost on time, handed in his paper early, and then found a secluded corner to lure out the long-tongued parrot that was about to go out of control. He then killed it before it could spread its gossip widely...

Using older long-tongued parrots to help with exams is convenient, but unfortunately, each long-tongued parrot can only be used once.

Moreover, the grades obtained through cheating will not double in the short term.

After all... logically speaking, a long-tongued parrot that only spreads gossip and rumors cannot be used to cheat on exams.

Fortunately, a total score of 1200 is not bad.

Bai Hui used the same method for all his subsequent exams.

The academic exams for the first-year high school students lasted for three days.

three days later.

Before the teacher had even finished grading the papers, Bai Hui already knew his total score.

1200 points!

This is the limit of the exam paper, without considering cheating through supernatural tales!

After the academic exams, it's time for the martial arts arena!

On the third day, because the second and third year students were divided into arts and sciences tracks and finished their exams early, the martial arts arena naturally opened early as well.

During breaks from his exams, Bai Hui could even go and observe and learn a little.

The time saved by handing in the exam early was also stored by the alarm clock mark on Bai Hui's chest...
