The provincial mock exam ended.

1st Place: Xu Yuan!

After finishing off the Norkude clan with a group of skills, he started to slack off. Since it was impossible for him to be overtaken, he simply rode the plains beast and wandered around.

Second place.

It was Mu Nuoyan from Midlake’s Mu family.

He was a refined fire mage who had awakened the half elven bloodline.

An hour into the exam, he tried his best to catch up with Xu Yuan. By the end of the exam, he had scored more than 900 points.

Lin Mucheng, who had a double role awakening, had scored nearly 800 points at the end of the exam and was in fourth place.

The students needed 500 points to pass the exam.

Out of thousands of students, only seven hundred or so passed.

The rest…

After returning, they would have to speed up their leveling!

“Wow!” Lin Mucheng was dumbfounded when she saw Xu Yuan’s points.

“Did he cheat?” Some of the students who had failed the test shouted indignantly, “He must have cheated. He killed too many monsters, which is why we didn’t get any points above the passing mark!”

“I strongly request the Ministry of Education to investigate him!!”

“Agreed!”

The students’ protests quickly reached the Ministry of Education’s ears.

The Ministry of Education quickly issued a statement, claiming that there was no cheating in this examination, and told everyone to rest assured.

Moreover…

They then announced something very regrettable.

Due to some unpredictable reasons, several students passed away at a young age in the examination hall.

Although the control of the secret realm examination hall was strict, battles were happening everywhere. No matter how many pairs of invigilators watched, it was inevitable that there would be mistakes.

Because the battlefield was ever-changing, it was impossible to be safe forever.

In the past, there were also students who died in the examination hall.

However, this situation was quite rare, and they would only encounter it a few times in ten years.

“Ah?”

“Someone died?!”

The students were all stunned.

Luo Youdao, who had been waiting for his son to return, felt his heart sink.

“Big Brother, don’t be agitated.” Luo Jun quickly supported Luo Youdao, whose legs had gone soft, and comforted him, “Wuqiu is so strong, and he has several consumables to protect himself. He also has several experts by his side. He will definitely be fine.”

However…

It was useless to comfort him.

The names of the students who had died echoed in the square.

“Zhu Huan.”

“Peng Jie.”

“Luo Wuqiu.”

Buzz!

Luo Youdao was stunned.

Luo Jun’s brain also exploded!

Contrary to their reactions…

“Phew-”

Zhang Jun carefully counted back and forth several times and found that all the students in the class were there. He heaved a sigh of relief and felt at ease. “Let’s go, students. Let’s go back!”

“Today, I am treating you guys to a meal!”

“Alright!”

“Long live Teacher Zhang!”

The students of Class 7 shouted happily.

“Xu Yuan, you brat…” Zhang Jun pointed at Xu Yuan and smiled with wrinkles on his face. “Well done!”

Xu Yuan got first place in the provincial mock examination with an overwhelming lead!

As a form teacher, he was extremely proud!

“Xu Yuan, how did you do it?” The students also asked in a curious manner, “Did you secretly use a forbidden spell scroll to blow up monsters?”

They were not allowed to use such tools during the exam.

Of course, the students did not ask this because they suspected that Xu Yuan was cheating.

It was just that this was the only possibility in their minds.

“Don’t ask about these things.” Zhang Jun said with a smile, “Have you forgotten what I taught you? You must hold a card that no one knows!”

The students of Class 7 nodded quickly and teleported back to school happily. They followed Zhang Jun to eat a big meal.

Some were delighted.

Some were worried.

Luo Youdao, who had lost his beloved son, quickly found the Ministry of Education through his family connections and asked them for information.

The reply he received was that his son had been surrounded by the Norkude clan and had died.

In fact.

The Ministry of Education had already learned of Luo Wuqiu’s cause of death from Great Master Liu’s report.

That kid brazenly attacked other students in the examination hall. Every knife and jab was a fatal move. He deserved to lose his life!

“I don’t believe it!”

Luo Youdao gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter.

He used all the power he could to investigate his son’s death.

His family had their own intelligence network, and because of Luo Jun, the Luo family could find out many secrets that no one knew.

At the Luo residence.

The huge living room was solemn.

Luo Wuqiu’s black and white photo was hung in the middle of the living room.

This second-generation prodigy of the Luo family had died in the examination hall, not even leaving a corpse behind.

The Luo family members looked sad, but there were also many people whose eyes were less sad and more bright.

Luo Wuqiu was dead.

The resources that were originally invested in him would be distributed.

The rest of the second generation of the Luo family felt that they could fight for it.

Da da da–

Hurried footsteps sounded.

Luo Youdao, who was sitting in the main seat, looked up at the person with a gloomy expression.

The one walking in front was a servant of the Luo family. The servant brought a middle-aged man with his hands behind his back and hurried into the hall of the Luo family.

“Minister Kong.”

The middle-aged man who had come this time was an official from the Ministry of Education.

Luo Youdao had to rely on his connections to get in touch with Minister Kong.

“Let’s talk inside.” Luo Youdao invited Minister Kong into the inner room. After instructing the servants to serve tea, he closed the door.

Only the two brothers Luo Youdao and Luo Jun as well as Minister Kong were left in the room.

“I’ve investigated it.” Minister Kong took a sip of tea and said, “Your son did not die at the hands of a monster.”

He took out his phone and showed a video to the Luo brothers.

On the screen, Luo Wuqiu was attacking a youth.

The youth was very agile, but Luo Wuqiu was faster.

“Isn’t that Xu Yuan?!” Luo Jun immediately recognized the youth who was being attacked by Luo Wuqiu.

Luo Youdao raised his finger to signal him not to speak. His eyes were fixed on the video on his phone.

The two brothers finished watching in silence.

The truth of the matter was already clear.

Luo Wuqiu tried to kill Xu Yuan, but with a flash of white light, he died.

Not even a corpse was left.

Creak!

The wooden handle that Luo Youdao held in his hand was crushed into pieces.

“To think it was this brat!” His eyes were bloodshot, and there was an intense hatred that could not be dissolved!

“The Ministry of Education thinks that your son was the one who made the first move, so…” Minister Kong said slowly.

Luo Youdao only sneered when he heard this and did not comment.

So what if he made the first move?

A penniless brat.

Wouldn’t he be able to kill Xu Yuan?

It was not just Xu Yuan.

Luo Youdao even hated the Ministry of Education for hiding the truth.

“Minister Kong, have some tea.” Luo Jun hurriedly raised his teacup and greeted Minister Kong.

Luo Youdao, whose breath was scattered, stood up and opened the door without saying a word. He called his subordinates over and quickly gave several orders.

Tonight…

He wanted to see Xu Yuan’s head placed in front of his son Luo Wuqiu’s memorial tablet!
