One by one, the students received their exam papers. Feng Qingxue took a deep breath. She hoped to get a good ranking in this Fall Quarter Examinations. That way, she would be able to freely enter the second floor of the Qingzhou Academy's library. That way, she would be able to see the powerful spells in advance.
Before Ling Xiao began to answer his questions, he glanced at Ye Futian. When he saw the face of the legendary girl sitting next to Ye Futian, his face was filled with undisguised jealousy. He had always had a crush on Feng Qingxue. As for Hua Jieyu, she was a distant dream to him. What right did Ye Futian have to sit next to Hua Jieyu?
Hua Jieyu was very quiet after receiving her exam paper. Perhaps it was because she was confident. Sitting in front of her, Yang Xiu slightly clenched his fists, then relaxed them. He was extremely serious.
As for Ye Futian, he glanced at the exam paper with a slight smile on his face. He picked up his pen. His first Fall Quarter Examinations had finally arrived.
The exam questions went from easy to difficult. The first questions were about the basics of cultivation. Most students were able to answer them.
At Ye Huang side, he was already started answering every questions.
"Oh." Ye Huang's eyes fell on one of the questions. During a battle between a warrior and a sorcerer, the sorcerer's elemental Spiritual Qi was about to run out. If you were a warrior, what would you do? If you were a sorcerer, what would you do?
This question should be one of the two questions that will become the point of dispute between Yang Xiu and Ye Futian. Seeing this, Ye Huang wrote down his own answer.
After that he proceeded answering the next several questions, until he arrived at the final question.
The last question was: In the same plane, a group of martial arts cultivators and a sorcerer cultivators fought. Who would win?
Ye Huang contemplated for a bit then wrote down his answer.
"Done?"
The sudden voice frightened Ye Huang that he almost jumped out of his chair. Looking in front, he saw an elder of the examination was standing there.
"Time is up. Give me your examination paper."
Ye Huang complied. When the elder got his paper, he walked towards the other students and collected their exam papers.
The exam papers were collected, but the students did not leave. After the end of the Fall Quarter Examinations, the exam papers would be marked and the results announced on the spot. It was very efficient.
Dozens of elders and external lecturers were marking the exam papers at the same time. One could only imagine how fast it was going to be. While they were marking the exam papers, many of the students were nervous. The people in the audience were chatting, waiting for the results to be announced.
When the lecturers in front of the stage began to categorize the exam papers and record them down, the tension in the air spread.
After a long time, a lecturer came forward with a list of names. Everyone knew that the first name to be announced was the list of those who had passed the Fall Quarter Examinations.
"Li Yu, Fang Yun, Mo Hanjiang …" Every time the lecturer called out a name, a student would reveal a relaxed expression. Of course, there were also a few people who were disappointed because they wanted a better ranking.
Other than the first name to be announced, the top three, the second, and the first rank would be announced one after another.
There were 72 people in the third rank, 36 in the second rank, and only three in the first rank.
"Ye Futian, do you remember how arrogant you were in the dormitory last time? Now, you're finally going to be kicked out of the academy. Isn't that ironic?" Ling Xiao mocked Ye Futian from afar. Many people looked at Ye Futian, thinking that this shameless guy was finally going to be kicked out of the academy.
Ye Futian raised his head and looked at Ling Xiao's sarcastic face. He was as calm as ever.
"This is only a list of those who have passed. What are you so excited about?" Ye Futian asked calmly. He glanced at the people around him, who were all gloating.
"Haha." Ling Xiao laughed. He stared at Ye Futian and said, "Do you still think you can make it into the List of A?"
"You're laughing so arrogantly. If the results are different from what you imagined, won't you be embarrassed?"Ye Futian raised an eyebrow. He knew that Ling Xiao hated him, but there was no need to get so worked up.What did he hate?
"You won't give up until you see your own coffin. Let's just keep waiting," Ling Xiao said coldly. Ye Futian shook his head.
The lecturer in front of him was still busy sorting out the exam papers and making copies of the list. After a while, Qin Yi walked up with a list. She announced the seventy-two students who had made it into the top three. Ling Xiao's name was on the list. He looked at Ye Futian with arrogance, but he did not say anything to mock him. If he had to wait, then he would wait until the list was out. Then he would humiliate him.
Feng Qingxue was excited. Her name was not on the List of A, but she was confident that she would pass. So, her name was most likely on the List of B.
"Feng Qingxue." The List of B began to be announced. As expected, she had made it into the List of B.
"Yusheng." The lecturer continued to announce the names.
"Murong Qiu." When his name was announced, Murong Qiu who was sitting in his seat, suddenly paled. He did not look good at all.
The 36th place on the List of B might have been a great honor to others, but to him, not making it into the List of A was a failure.
Last time, he was ranked third in the First Division. This time, he was also aiming to challenge the arrogant girl. However, it was clear that he had failed once again. Furthermore, he had lost even more miserably this time.
The expressions of some of the important figures of the Murong Merchant Guild on the spectator stand were also rather unpleasant.
"Murong Qiu only got into the Second Division. He didn't even get a ranking." The leader said in a low voice. Only the top three had a specific ranking. The others didn't have a ranking.
The others were also confused, and they began to discuss among themselves. There were three places in the First Class, and the legendary girl and Yang Xiu should still be in the top two. So who was the one who pushed Murong Qiu into the second place?
It seemed that the more famous outer sect disciples were all in the First Two Rankings. They really couldn't think of anyone who had been left out.
"Who will amaze the world with a single brilliant feat this time?" Looking around at the crowd, everyone wanted to see who they had missed, but in the end, they couldn't think of anyone.
However, this had nothing to do with Ling Xiao anymore. He glanced at Ye Futian mockingly. Now that the dust had settled, Ye Futian still had the nerve to sit there calmly.
Yang Xiu on the side looked calmly. It showed that he was confident that he could be in the top three, which is in A list. He took a deep breath. Could he surpass Hua Jieyu this time?
He had already promised the Palace of Divination Arts that he would directly enter the Palace of Divination Arts next year. This was the last time he would participate in the Fall Quarter Examinations, which meant that it would be his only chance to surpass Hua Jieyu.
"Yang Xiu." the lecturer put down the list in his hand, signaling the end of the Second Class list.
Yang Xiu only ended up in Second Class list?
Yang Xiu, the genius who had always been inferior to Hua Jieyu, was also pushed out of the First Class like Murong Qiu?
"This is impossible." Yang Xiu, who was anxiously waiting for the results, seemed to have received a huge blow. He seemed to be in a daze. He muttered to himself, "This is impossible, this is impossible …"
He had always wanted to surpass Hua Jieyu, but this time, not only did he not surpass her, but he was pushed out of the First Class. It was hard to accept.
"Who is it?" Everyone became even more curious and fall into an uproar. Even the people in the spectator stands had sharp gazes as they stared at the teacher who was announcing the names of the top rankers.
In front of Student, the elders of Qingzhou Academy were holding the last three exam papers. There seemed to be some disagreement, and they were discussing something. It seemed like they were discussing the final results.
Finally, the elders of Qingzhou Academy seemed to have come to a decision. Someone on the side recorded it down, and one of the elders walked up and looked around at the students.
For a moment, the entire place was silent. Everyone was waiting for the final result to be announced.
"Hua Jieyu, third in the First Class," the elder said the first name. After a moment of silence, the entire place burst into even more uproar.
Hua Jieyu, who had been first in the Fall Quarter Examinations for three years in a row, was now third in the First Class?
Moreover, the person who defeated her was neither Yang Xiu nor Murong Qiu. Until now, no one could guess who the mysterious person was.
Even Hua Jieyu herself was a little surprised. She didn't know why, but she glanced at Ye Futian with a strange look in her eyes. Then she also somehow glanced at the other twin brother. Could it be …
Everyone's curiosity was at its peak. Who was it?
"Second in the First Class, Ye Futian," As soon as the elder finished speaking, the noisy crowd suddenly went silent. It was as quiet as death.
The expressions on the faces of the students were very interesting. They had thought of all the possible candidates in the First Class list, but Ye Futian was the only one who did not appear in their minds.
A person who had given up for three years in a row and had not advanced in the Qi Condensation Plane was able to be in second of the A list in the Fall Quarter Examinations? Was this a joke?
The elders of Qingzhou Academy would not joke about the Fall Quarter Examinations. After the initial shock, the crowd burst into an even bigger uproar.
"Ye Futian?" Qin Yi was not far from the elder. She repeated the name in a low voice. She was in a daze. His name did not appear on the list. It was not because he had failed the written exam, but because he was on the List of First Class. But wasn't this a bit too dramatic?
Ling Xiao had thought that Ye Futian was going to be kicked out of Qingzhou Academy. He was about to gloat and humiliate Ye Futian, but the smile on his face froze. He stood up and stared in front of him. Ye Futian was listed in the First Class?
Feng Qingxue's jaw dropped. She looked at the elder who had announced the List of First Class in shock. Then she slowly turned to look at the young man.
Hua Jieyu, who was sitting beside Ye Futian, also looked at the young man beside her. Her record of first place in the written exam had been broken, but there was not much disappointment in her eyes.
Her father had told her that Ye Futian's talent was not inferior to hers. Though, she was not convinced readily. Today was the Fall Quarter Examinations, and she wanted to see what made Ye Futian so highly regarded by her father and why he was willing to accept him as a student.
During the written exam, Ye Futian had given her a surprise. Then whose the guy in the first? For some reason, she glanced at a certain twin brother.
"Alright." Yu Sheng clenched his fists and looked excited. However, he felt a bit sad. "He should have gotten the first place. Wait, there is still some name that should been listed in the best list. Could it be..."
At this time, Ye Futian was not happy. He was almost sure that he should have beaten everyone in the written exam. However, there is seems to be still one guy standing in front of him. That certain someone also has not been listed in the previous list. Is it really him? His heart seems to nod to his guess.
Back to the announcing elder, he looked at the crowd. His eyes passed through the crowd and landed on Ye Futian for a moment. There was a curiosity and surprise in his eyes.
He had been dormant in the academy for three years, and now he just surprised everyone. Well, this will be a double surprise then.
"First place in the Fall Quarter Written Exam of Qingzhou Academy …" The elder paused for a second, then slowly uttered a name.
"Ye … Huang."
