The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

We're all part of a team, and Tong Yishan did a lot too, didn't she? Cutting up monster materials, packaging them, using fire magic to open up the field of vision, separating the battlefield...

Although she didn't kill as quickly as Bai Jinxuan, she also made sacrifices. How come she's so much worse than Bai Jinxuan?

What a shame!

Tong Yishan gritted her teeth and shouted, "I'll catch up to your speed next time, don't be so smug."

"I'm not smug... My teacher just told me there's a weekly test coming up, see you later."

"I've also received a notification..."

And so, Bai Jinxuan and Tong Yishan disbanded at the expedition team plaza, each riding their hovercars and heading in different directions.

----------------------

No. 1 Middle School, gymnasium, science classroom.

When Bai Jinxuan arrived at the classroom, all the students were already in place, training hard in their own private spaces.

Guided by her smart bracelet, Bai Jinxuan navigated the path separated by barriers and successfully arrived at the small space with her name written on it.

As soon as she entered, she sighed to herself, "So many classmates are gone. Dropping out has really become the norm."

　Compared to the last time I visited the classroom, the training section was about half gone, which means that those students either switched to humanities or dropped out of school.

Clearly, the latter is the majority.

It's worth noting that she entered the top high school with the highest score in science, so her class was naturally the top science class—Class A.

Those who can come to this class are all top students in science, so it would be almost impossible for them to give up their achievements and switch to studying humanities.

So, most of them are like the girls I met in the expedition team square earlier—they dropped out of school.

Their future will probably be spent lying down somewhere in the upper district, far from the commercial area.

If things are any worse, I'll probably end up like Xiao Wang in the sales office, working like a beast of burden.

Life, oh life.

Bai Jinxuan sighed, turned around and put down her handbag, then punched the dummy twice.

After a while, a familiar figure appeared at the classroom door.

It's Coach Long.

As one of the men in black who stole the artifact, he actually dared to show up at No. 1 Middle School. He's really got some nerve.

If the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce hadn't exposed Bai Qianye and An Ying, she would have wanted to change her identity and report them to the guild, so she could have made a killing off Coach Long.

Unfortunately, if I were to actually do that, I might end up getting myself involved as well.

Bai Qianye is still on the bounty list. The criminal who spent 100 billion to buy the artifact is considered, according to the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce, to be the leader of the men in black.

That bastard Long Jinming said that Bai Qianye controlled his body with a special kind of magic, and all his actions were done by Bai Qianye, and had nothing to do with him, Long Jinming.

He never intended to bid on the artifact at the auction; he was there to sell his precious diamond.

As for the evidence, it's very simple: Bai Qianye disappeared! She disappeared along with the man in black!

Why did she disappear, and how did she disappear? Of course, she was with the men in black; she joined their group and escaped through a hole! Anyway, we didn't see her at the venue exit!

After learning that Bai Qianye and the man in black were in cahoots, things became clear. Bai Qianye first made an exorbitant offer to buy time, and then deliberately approached the booth to signal his accomplice.

Just when everyone's attention was focused on the artifact, they suddenly attacked, killing the hostess, seizing the artifact, and leaving with the man in black.

Their clothes were all black, which makes perfect sense! Moreover, Bai Qianye is even more outrageous than those men in black; there wasn't a single trace of anything, which makes it even more plausible!

Without a doubt, this is the eldest sister!

So, Bai Qianye inexplicably became the leader of the men in black and was placed on the guild's eight-star wanted list.

Eight stars, the pinnacle of wanted criminals.

What makes Bai Jinxuan so special? She's only at level 3!

Therefore, after Long Jinming's actions, Bai Jinxuan doesn't dare to report him to the union. After all, if they ask her, "How did you know Long Xiaofeng was the man in black? Were you at the auction?" she'll have to remain silent.

Everyone who showed up at the auction was on file, and suddenly a stranger appeared claiming to have information—it was practically telling everyone he was suspicious...

It's frustrating to be unable to make money.

At the same time, Long Xiaofeng walked onto the podium, followed by several tall and upright men.

"Students, the weekly test is about to begin. Are you ready?"

“I’m ready—!”

"Okay, let's get started!"

After speaking, Long Xiaofeng activated the button on the podium, and the training area was divided, with several small arenas rising from the ground.

These arenas are much smaller than the ones where he fought against Long Xiaofeng before. They probably occupy about the size of two students' private training area, and at first glance, they look like a basketball court.

There are ten small arenas in total. After they were fixed in place, the four poles in the corners lit up with the arena number, the student's name, and the exam number.

[Arena #2 - Bai Jinxuan - Number '6']

After glancing at the information that popped up on her smart bracelet, Bai Jinxuan moved closer to arena number 2.

To be honest, she was quite curious about what the weekly tests at No. 1 Middle School were like, wondering if they were similar to the joint entrance exams.

Just as Bai Jinxuan was speculating, Long Xiaofeng spoke.

"Due to a notification from the Education Bureau, the next joint examination will be transformed from physical fitness, martial arts skills, and physical qualities assessment to practical training. Therefore, starting with this week's test, the content of the weekly test will also focus on practical training."

"Passing the exam earns a passing score of 60, which is worth 5 credits. The performance score is recorded by me and the two reviewers. The higher the score, the higher the ranking, and the more extra credits you will receive."

"Now, students whose names are called, please proceed to the designated arena to begin the exam."

His voice was loud enough for all the students to hear.

Several students' faces darkened instantly. They steeled themselves and stepped out of the crowd onto the ring.

The moment they stepped onto the ring, the long poles at the four corners immediately formed a barrier, covering the entire ring.

Immediately afterwards, a phantom appeared in the center of the arena.

Wait a minute... this situation... does it mean that actual combat training is conducted using union assessment methods?

No, can I also choose the weapon and the location?

This time, I have the advantage!

Watching her classmates and the phantoms engage in battle on the stage, Bai Jinxuan said that she couldn't think of a way to lose for the time being.

Ichinose Asahi had no idea who the brown-haired man named Nagasaki Motoyo was, who was drinking coffee at the Ring.

Volume 1: Chapter 133: The Girl Who Learned to Transform

On the stage, a boy swung a large sword, blocked the heavy punch from the humanoid phantom, and used the force to bounce back, delivering a follow-up blow.

"Boom——!"

The humanoid phantom transformed into countless points of light and vanished.

Bai Jinxuan pinched her chin with her thumb and forefinger, lost in thought.

Overall, the test wasn't difficult. The humanoid phantom was around level 2, and its only martial arts skills were charged punches and parries. You could say it was easy to pass.

What truly caught Bai Jinxuan's attention was the arena itself.

This appears to be a large magical artifact. The so-called "field illusion" is a semi-physical illusion generated using this artifact, capable of completely simulating a real combat scenario. It is both safe and achieves the purpose of assessment and training.

　It would be great if this item could be used to cast magic of the same rank as illusion.

Although Bai Jinxuan didn't know much about magic, she at least knew about the difficulty level and the different ranks. For example, illusions that could affect reality were at least rank 5.

Thinking of this, the illusion that Yao Yao released at the Second Middle School's cultural performance came to mind. That was a level 5 illusion. Being able to use it meant that Yao Yao was only missing the basic magic capacity to become a level 5 explorer at that time.

However, in actual combat, she doesn't seem to be very good. Does Yao Yao know elemental magic? It feels like she would be completely outmatched by this kind of dummy in real combat.

If that's the case, wouldn't Yao Yao fall from the top spot and be surpassed by me?

It looks like I'm going to win the ranking contest against her.

Oh right, Yao Yao happens to know how to make Mewtwo. I'll make her do a lot of embarrassing things and force her to make her own Mewtwo so she can relive those happy times anytime, hehe!

If I, Bai Jinxuan, catch you, you'll regret it. You're a man of your word!

I really want to see Yao Yao blushing, but also having no choice but to obey me...

"Second Arena, Bai Jinxuan!"

At that moment, Long Xiaofeng's voice came over.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinxuan awoke from her dream, glanced at the smart bracelet, and realized it was her turn.

Then let's finish this quickly!

She immediately jumped onto the arena, choosing the forest as the arena, and the weapon... whatever! A short sword it is!

Despite the fact that the phantom's strength is only at the near-second tier, there is actually a hard requirement for the assessment: to kill the simulated human figure within 3 minutes. This is quite difficult for most students at No. 2 Middle School.

However, it's nothing to Bai Jinxuan.

She's recovered; she's now at the third tier and can hold her own in the business world. You wouldn't even need her to be a doorman.

As they pondered, the battle began.

With a simple and unadorned dodge, she approached, and with an easy flying kick, she took him down. In the blink of an eye, the phantom was under Bai Jinxuan's feet, and with a single sword strike, he was gone.

The whole audience was shocked.

Long Xiaofeng's eyelids twitched slightly. For some reason, Bai Jinxuan's figure always gave him a sense of familiarity.

This gave him goosebumps. It was a very abstract thought. Although the other person was progressing rapidly, she was only a level 3 student. Was he afraid of her? How could that be?

He shook his head and typed 100 on the scoreboard.

The other two teachers also gave her 100 points without any hesitation. It was no surprise that anyone could see that Bai Jinxuan was not just entering the third level, but was about to reach the middle level of the third level. If she progressed any faster, she would catch up with the students in the second year of high school.

Sigh, what a monster.

"Bai Jinxuan, 100 points, currently ranked first."

The announcement cast a shadow over the faces of the other students in the classroom.

An eerie atmosphere settled in the classroom; the students stopped laughing and no one greeted Bai Jinxuan.

Students who came down from the ring immediately returned to the training area to continue training, while those who had not yet stepped onto the ring stayed put to adjust their breathing and make full preparations.

Seeing this, Bai Jinxuan, having nothing else to do, also went to her private space, punching the mannequin while thinking about her next plan.

Money is important in this world, but strength is more important.

Those with power can steal divine artifacts, crush entire families like ants, and arbitrarily define the lives of others...
