Deduct 1 for merit. I am really not a child of luck.

Chapter 17 You're the only one who wants to CPU me?
Nanshan No. 4 Middle School, senior three teacher’s office.

"Hey, Lin Mo got first place again?"

The middle-aged bald man next to Li Xiang came over with a cup of wolfberries and looked at the ranking on his computer screen in surprise:

"This kid is good. Without the essay, his score is 886? This score is probably enough to challenge for first place in the Nanshan written test!"

When the other teachers in the classroom heard this, they also turned their heads to look over.

"Sure, Old Li. Not only does your class have Ye Chen, a seedling of immortality, but you also have a literary talent like Lin Mo. You'll definitely get a performance bonus this year!"

"It's more than stable. If Lao Li's Qi training level can be improved by one more level, he might be able to be evaluated as a senior teacher next year."

"I'm so jealous! They are all ordinary classes. Why doesn't our class have such a good fairy seedling?"

"How dare you say that? Ye Chen wanted to join your class at first, but you didn't want anyone else and gave it to Lao Li, didn't you?"

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault for not recognizing a great man, okay!"

"..."

Facing the teasing and flattery from his colleagues, Li Xiang was not as happy as he had imagined. Instead, he sighed and said:

"It's hard to say right now. I don't know what Lin Mo was thinking. He actually chose the Immortal Examination in the end."

The middle-aged bald man asked in confusion: "Hasn't this kid always been quite smart? Why does he suddenly want to take the Immortal Exam?"

In the teachers' impression, Lin Mo is different from other students in the class.

Even though most students know that they have no talent for cultivation, they still cannot give up their obsession with immortality.

While envying the endless internal friction, one is also meditating madly on the internal circulation.

However, the result is obvious, neither side gets what it wants, and a large number of students will most likely repeat a year next year just for the written test.

Unlike Lin Mo, who had clearly recognized his limits a year ago.

From that time on, he proposed to the teachers of various subjects that he should use his spare time to review the knowledge for the written examination. In the past year, he also collected a lot of test questions from them.

It is rare for teachers of various subjects to see students at this age who are so clear-headed, so naturally they do not feel proud of themselves.

Even though he knew that Lin Mo wanted to get something for free, he did not refuse.

"He is still a young man after all!"

The middle-aged bald man sighed, patted Li Xiang on the shoulder and said: "Give him some guidance. There is not much time left before the Immortal Examination. Such a good candidate for the Literature Examination should not go astray."

The smarter a person is, the more likely he is to get stuck in a rut.

I am afraid that Lin Mo will end up like other students, unable to give up the pursuit of immortality and eventually go astray.

Although Jiuzhou's control over cultivators has become increasingly strict since entering the technological age, the number of cultivators practicing illegally has also decreased.

However, we still cannot completely rule out the possibility that some people cannot resist the temptation of immortality and thus become obsessed.

This kind of people usually use any means necessary to achieve their cultivation, and adopt some extreme methods of cultivation, such as: killing people to refine souls, refining blood pills... and other illegal methods of cultivation that are prohibited by the cultivation world.

When Li Xiang heard the middle-aged bald man say this, he said:
"Lin Mo doesn't seem like that kind of person. This kid is not only smart, but also very cunning."

Smart people may get stuck in a rut, but smart and cunning people won’t.

As Lin Mo's homeroom teacher for three years, he naturally knew him well.

After Li Xiang finished speaking, he shook his head and said:

"Forget it, I'll talk to him after the Immortal Exam is over."

The middle-aged bald man nodded and said:

"There are only a few days left before the examination direction is confirmed. You'd better hurry up, otherwise this kid will fail the immortal exam and the literary exam. Then his parents will definitely blame you."

After saying that, he glanced at the time again and said, "At this time, the Immortal Examination is about to begin."

"That's about right. I think the results will be out in half an hour."

A teacher took over and mentioned Li Xiang again:

"Haha, Ye Chen from your class might have a chance to get first place this time."

"How is that possible! With that guy from Class 7 here, who can take first place?" "I heard that guy will be admitted as a recommended candidate, so he won't be considered this time."

"Who told you that? No, which Taoist academy will she be admitted to? With her strength and talent, it should be Tianwu Taoist Academy or Wanxiang Academy, right?"

"Neither. I heard it was the Qingshan Sect and the Wendao Academy."

"Hi~!"

"..."

……

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, after a short rest, the candidates moved to the gymnasium.

Lin Mo and Zhang Dahai stood obediently at the back of the line.

The order of the examinations is based on class order, and Class 10 is an ordinary class and is ranked relatively low.

In the huge gymnasium, there were less than a hundred people except the teacher in charge of the test in the front.

There are thirteen classes in the senior year of high school, with a total number of about seven hundred students, and only one-seventh of the candidates choose to take the immortal exam.

If we ignore people like Zhang Dahai who are just joining in the fun, and some who are unwilling to accept the result, the total number may be less than one-tenth.

"Mozi, do you feel cold?"

Zhang Dahai's body trembled slightly and his feet began to shake unconsciously.

Lin Mo glanced at him and said speechlessly:
"It's summer, and the gym doesn't have air conditioning. How can it be cold?"

Zhang Dahai gritted his teeth, took a few deep breaths, and forced himself to calm down:
"Oh my god, I always get so nervous when I go to the gym for a test. I didn't expect that I would still be like this when I'm about to graduate."

Lin Mo chuckled. In fact, Zhang Dahai was not the only one who was nervous. Many people in this not-so-long team had "stress" reactions.

Some even had pale faces and purple lips, looking like they had just come out of an ice cellar.

This is all due to being too nervous. In fact, during the written test just now, not many people showed such behavior.

The different treatment of the two by students is enough to show how high the status of the Immortal Examination is.

Ye Chen, who was ranked in the first two, turned his head to look at Zhang Dahai's appearance and snorted coldly:
"Unbelievable!"

Zhang Dahai immediately retorted: "I'm happy to!"

As soon as these words came out, before Ye Chen could say anything, several students from Class 10 who were taking the exam behind him immediately said:

"Da Hai, how did you talk to Brother Ye? Brother Ye is concerned about you!"

"That's right. Why are you taking the test when you are only at the second level of Qi training? Aren't you embarrassing our class ten?"

"Take my advice and go back quickly. It would be ridiculous if the test shows that you are not even at the third level of Qi training."

They were talking to each other, and I was arguing with them.

After saying that, he did not forget to criticize Lin Mo next to him:
"And you, why don't you go back and take your exam well? Why do you have to come here and embarrass yourself? Sometimes you just have to accept your fate. It's not yours..."

"none of your business."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Mo interrupted him expressionlessly.

The student who was speaking was called Li Feng. After being criticized by Lin Mo, his acne-covered face immediately turned red with anger.

As one of the few students in the class who had a chance to pass the imperial examination, he was highly respected among ordinary students, and even enjoyed the "tributes" from ordinary students on weekdays.

Over time, you will naturally label yourself as "the best among people".

Although he usually has little interaction with Lin Mo, a top student in the class who is good at literary exams, subconsciously, he still believes that his "status" is much higher than Lin Mo's.

Even though he had just been promoted to the 4th level of Qi Refining not long ago, having the qualifications to take the Immortal Examination and not having the qualifications to take the Immortal Examination were two completely different things.

However, in front of so many people, Li Feng couldn't get angry, he just snorted and said:
"Lin Mo, don't be ungrateful. I'm advising you for your own good. What's more..."

"None of my business."

Lin Mo interrupted again and raised his eyebrows at him, "You are the only one who wants to CPU me?"
