The End of Ten Days: When Qi Xia Enters the Tales of Rules

The students woke up groggily and were all taken aback when they saw Aries.

A strange man with a goat's head and a human body really frightened them.

Upon seeing Lin Yi standing to the side, they all ran behind him.

"Lin Yi...who...who is he?"

"That's Qi Xia," Lin Yi said.

"Huh? What? He's Qi Xia? Then what's wrong with his head...?"

People are still a bit afraid of Aries and keep their distance from him.

Guo Jing reassured everyone, "Don't panic, everyone. He's the one who chased away the God of Deception and saved us."

Upon hearing Guo Jing speak, everyone's attention returned to him.

Soon someone recognized Guo Jing's identity.

"My God, he really is the principal of the Super God Academy!"

"Principal, is your school still hiring?"

"Headmaster, how did you end up in the ghost story instance too?"

Guo Jing raised his hand and said, "Everyone, calm down and let's see what Qi Xia has to say."

Everyone's attention is once again focused on Aries.

Aries glanced around and looked at Cheng Shi: "Tell me what happened just now."

Cheng Shi scratched his head and said, "Just now, a guy who claimed to be the 'God of Destiny' asked me if I wanted to believe in him..."

"and then?"

"Then I became a believer in him. Since he is a god, he must be very powerful."

"Why do you worship the 'God of Fate,' yet attract the 'God of Deception'?"

Cheng Shi blushed and said, "I've been tricked by the God of Deception."

Seeing everyone's attention focused on him, Cheng Shi gave an awkward smile: "Um... please don't ask about the details of the process. In short, I'm sorry to everyone..."

Aries winks.

But Lin Yi thought of something.

legend.

After believing in the "God of Deception," one can no longer tell the truth.

Therefore, it's very likely that everything Cheng Shi said was a lie...

Aries then asked, "Is there anything strange that has appeared on you?"

"On me? Let me think..."

Cheng Shi said, "I had an extra [Divine Connection] in my body, and just now the [Divine Connection] suddenly went to zero, and I don't know anything anymore... What just happened? Was I really possessed by a god?"

Lin Yi pondered: Since this guy is being sarcastic, then the [Divine Compatibility] shouldn't have been reset to zero, but rather increased to 100% like the [Audience Expectation].

Last time, they all had "audience expectations" in mind, but this time, only Cheng Shi had "divine compatibility" in mind.

Is it only those who have faith in a deity who have the concept of "divine compatibility" in their minds?

It's important to know that everyone had a certain level of audience expectation for the last exam.

When one of the people reaches 100% of the audience's expectations, disaster will strike.

However, this "divine compatibility" is slightly different; only those who have faith in a deity possess it.

Aries said, "I basically understand what happened now."

Everyone perked up their ears when they heard Aries speak.

"Both 'gods' and 'calamities' need a vessel to appear. This so-called 'trial by trickery' is actually a test created by those things to select a vessel."

Everyone tensed up when they heard Aries say that.

Someone asked, "So... do you mean we shouldn't believe in gods?"

"Not entirely," Aries said. "If you believe in the God of Wisdom, you will gain supreme wisdom; if you believe in the God of Childbirth, you will become a goddess who grants children..."

"what?"

After hearing Aries' words, everyone was quite shocked, and some even felt a little bit of longing.

"Why haven't the gods come to me?"

"I can talk too, and I love my country!"

……

The stone tablet on the Divine Grace Continent has now returned to normal and is now broadcasting live footage.

"What happened? Why can't I see anything?"

"It seems that some test takers were possessed by some kind of 'God of Deception,' but they're all better now."

"Hey, look! It seems like we test takers are in a school this time!"

……

At this moment, the candidates also came to their senses and realized their surroundings.

This appears to be a school campus, and they are standing on the playground like paratroopers.

"Is this the examination venue for this time?"

The candidates didn't dare to move at all, only glancing around with their eyes.

The school has fairly complete facilities and used to be considered a good school.

Basketball courts, athletic fields, green belts, river bridges...

"What do we do now? Can we move?"

"Why don't I have any missions? Have any of you received any missions?"

"I don't have it either. Could it be an exploration-based dungeon?"

……

Without a doubt, everyone's attention once again focused on Aries and Lin Yi.

In the first two rounds of exams, all the candidates who were grouped with them were carried to victory.

Hopefully, this time, I can be carried along too.

Lin Yi was also a little surprised. Logically speaking, a school-type instance should not belong to the exploration-type instance.

There should be clear rules, but so far, no clues or hints have been found.

Forget it, let's rely on Aries instead!

Why not cling to a readily available powerful figure instead of wasting your time and energy?

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Aries said, "Don't be so nervous, everyone. Look around and see if you can find any clues. It's best not to leave the playground yet."

They dared not leave, not even move.

Seeing Aries and Lin Yi walking on the playground, they slowly slowed their pace and followed suit.

Look for the basketball hoop, examine the plastic flooring, and peek into the surrounding greenery...

Seeing that Guo Jing was looking intently, Lin Yi asked, "Principal, what have you discovered?"

Guo Jing laughed heartily: "Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking about whether we should renovate the Super God Academy when we get back, and incorporate these good things into our academy."

Ok.

I asked you to find clues, but you're thinking about how to renovate the school.

However, since that was his own principal, Lin Yi still said, "Good idea. Actually, I've had this idea for a while now."

Aries suddenly stopped, staring intently at a certain spot.

"What did you find?"

Lin Yi came closer.

Seeing this, the other candidates also gathered around.

Aries said, "Look at this, what's so strange about this slogan?"

Everyone followed Aries' gaze.

I found this line of text on the banner.

"When teachers are respected, the academic atmosphere will naturally improve."

Is there something wrong with this slogan?

Everyone stared at the slogan and fell into deep thought.

Aries asked, "Do you have any students? Are there any banners hanging in the school?"

"Yes, yes, our school has a lot of slogans."

"Our school has them too. Although our school isn't very good, it's still full of slogans."

"That's right, our school has it too."

Aries said, "Look at these signs, how are they different from the ones at your school?"

After a closer look, everyone noticed that the slogans here seemed a bit strange.

"A teacher should be learned and upright."

"Having a kind heart and moral integrity."

"Education is not about filling a hole with water, but about igniting a flame."

"Prioritize moral character and focus on teaching."

……

Aries asked, "What did you find?"

One student raised their hand and answered, "It seems different from the slogans displayed at our school. Our school has those kinds of slogans that encourage students."

Upon hearing him say this, all the candidates remembered.

That's right, most of the ones hanging in their school are...

"With dreams as our guide, let us live up to our youthful years."

"May you achieve great success and pass the imperial examination with flying colors."

"A young man should have lofty ambitions; he should ride a fine horse and conquer the plains."

"Let dreams be our sails, and hard work be our oars."

……

The test takers immediately understood.

"Are these all teacher slogans?"

Aries nodded: "That's exactly right."
