Chapter 12 This broken stone is of such poor quality!
…………
Xue Musheng, the homeroom teacher of Class 8, dropped his thermos with a clatter, not even noticing the hot water splashing all over his trouser leg. He rubbed his eyes, then rubbed them again, and after confirming that he wasn't hallucinating, he was completely dumbfounded.
"This...this is my student who sleeps in class every day?!"
on the rostrum.
Mu Zhuoyun, who had been casually sipping his tea, suddenly jerked his hand, spilling scalding tea onto his expensive suit. He abruptly stood up, staring incredulously at Su Chen below the stage.
"This light...this aura...this kid has actually cultivated lightning magic to this level?!"
Even Mu Ningxue, who had maintained a cool and aloof demeanor, was finally moved. A rare look of shock flashed in her beautiful, icy eyes.
As an ice-type genius, she knew better than anyone how much magical energy, how concentrated, was needed to make the Star Sensing Stone emit such a light that almost burst it apart!
Upon seeing the incredibly bright Star Stone, Su Chen inwardly cried out in alarm.
Holy crap, that was too hasty!
I've been trying so hard to hold it in, how come so much still leaked out?
This stone is of such poor quality!
Su Chen quickly withdrew his hand, and the purple light on the Star Sensing Stone gradually dimmed, but the cracks were still clearly visible.
He turned around and looked at the pairs of eyes below the stage that seemed to have seen a ghost, and at the classmates who had just mocked him, but now looked as if they had been slapped hard in the face by an invisible slap, their faces red.
Su Chen shrugged helplessly and yawned widely.
"Teacher, did I pass? Can I go back to sleep now? I'm so sleepy."
A casual remark echoed across the silent playground.
It doesn't cause much harm, but it's extremely insulting.
At that moment, all the teachers and students in the school felt their faces burning with pain.
"This..." The examiner adjusted his glasses, looked down to record the data, and said, "The light is solid, the stardust is stable, and there are no impurities whatsoever... Lightning element, rating: S!"
S is already the highest score!
It wasn't because Su Chen's skill level had reached S, but because the highest score in the annual assessment was only S.
"Su Chen, would you like to take the next test?" the examiner asked Su Chen politely.
Su Chen shook his head: "No, although I can complete the star track connection, my proficiency is not enough, so I will skip the next test."
"Okay, next one..."
He turned and walked off the stage, only to be met with Mo Fan's mocking gaze.
"Well, you've been keeping it well hidden." Mo Fan punched Su Chen in the chest and said in a low voice, "But why do I feel like... you haven't used your full strength yet?"
Su Chen raised an eyebrow and replied in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Likewise, great genius."
The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.
Not long after, it was Mo Fan's turn to be assessed.
Many people watched Mo Fan's performance on stage with the mindset of watching a clown. After all, Mo Fan was notorious for being lazy and slacking off, and usually seemed like the least serious person when it came to cultivation.
As a result, Mo Fan's performance during the assessment made them all lose their composure!
"Damn, something's not right."
"This light... doesn't seem to be D!"
"Really?! A C-rank?!" A slacker in Class 8 was stunned. He couldn't believe that Mo Fan had actually activated a C-rank fire-type radiance on the Star Sensing Stone.
You were supposed to leave campus carefree, but you barely passed with a C?
What happened to the trust between two academically weak students?
"Is it C?"
"No, no, the light is still slowly spreading."
The examiners were also puzzled. The other candidates finished the test quickly, but this student's brilliance was weak at first, but gradually became stronger, from D to C, and even after reaching C, it was still slowly shining.
"There's B! There's definitely B here!!"
"Holy crap, what a comeback! The underachiever turned things around!!"
"Are you kidding me? I only have a B cup, how could this guy possibly have a B cup?"
When Mo Fan presented his B grade, countless underachievers who had always thought Mo Fan was at the bottom of the class were devastated.
Damn it, I worked hard to cultivate diligently, but I'm still not as good as Mo Fan, who only practices sporadically?
Tang Yue quickly noticed something was wrong. She examined the Star Sensing Stone and then said, "There's something wrong with this Star Sensing Stone. I suggest Mo Fan retake the test!"
As she spoke, Tang Yue reached into the Star Sensing Stone, wanting to feel what kind of tricks had been played on it.
As a result, Mu He arranged for someone to replace the Star Sensing Stone before Tang Yue could take any action.
"Oh, since there's a problem, let's retest it. Director Wang, could you go to the storage room and get another Star Sensing Stone? Star Sensing Stones are useful, but they're a bit delicate. They can cause minor problems when exposed to different energies. We really have to thank Teacher Tang Yue for spotting it at a glance and making up for our mistake."
Mu He, true to his old fox nature, immediately covered up the matter and prevented the three examiners from revealing the truth.
At this moment, Su Chen almost collapsed when he saw Mu Bai, who was already drenched in sweat.
Mu Bai, if Tang Yue had acted any faster, he would probably have been completely ruined this time!
You see, this hidden stone was planted by Mu Bai to frame Mo Fan. And since Mo Fan happened to be the one before Mu Bai, if it's discovered that there was a hidden stone inside, Mu Bai will definitely be investigated.
If he gets investigated, Mu Bai is finished!
Moreover, if a real investigation were to take place, it would certainly be very difficult for the school leaders.
"Yes, retake the test."
"Take the exam again!"
Soon, Mo Fan underwent a re-evaluation.
Without the dark stone absorbing the light, Mo Fan's assessment results were outstanding. The crimson radiance seemed to ignite the entire Star Sensing Stone from within. This time, the radiance was not suppressed in the slightest and was released completely, spreading around the Star Sensing Stone and even overflowing from it.
With such an assessment result, it goes without saying that the grade will naturally be three S's.
Even when Mo Fan was taking the release test later, Huo Zi quickly swallowed up the test puppet!
The subsequent plot is almost identical to the original work. Seeing Mo Fan's outstanding performance, Mu Zhuoyun also plans to recruit Mo Fan into his family.
As a result, Mo Fan looked down on Mu Zhuoyun at all, and even publicly berated Mu Zhuoyun!
Now, the feud between Mu Zhuoyun and Mo Fan is truly over.
Ultimately, both sides agreed that when Mo Fan turned eighteen, he would have a duel with Yu Ang, Mu Zhuoyun's adopted son.
And so, the farce came to an end.
Having lost face, Mu Zhuoyun also gave up the idea of recruiting Su Chen into his family. After all, Su Chen and Mo Fan seemed to have a good relationship.
