The rooftop of Tomson Residential Complex was shrouded in night, with the starlight cold and clear.

Chu Ge's red eyes were slightly lowered. She wore a white martial arts training uniform and her hair was tied in a high ponytail.

She threw punch after punch, her breathing steady, her eyes focused, without any fancy moves.

The sounds were soft and quiet, yet chilling.

Fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead and neck, slowly sliding down his skin.

Since awakening his magic, Chu Ge has been either condensing a magic core or on his way to condense one every day.

It only came to my senses tonight that I realized it had been a long time since I had physically trained myself.

How can this be allowed?

"boom--!"

Chu Ge unleashed a punch with such speed that it left afterimages, creating a sonic boom that was deafening.

"Finally, a breakthrough!"

She smiled knowingly, realizing that her physical skills had improved even further.

That punch was powerful enough to easily penetrate a 10-centimeter-thick steel plate.

I'll have to find an opportunity to try it sometime.

Chu Ge looked up and saw that the stars were shining brightly, so he sat down cross-legged on the spot.

Ever since she learned that cultivating under the light of the sun, moon, and stars would bring benefits, she has never dared to stop for a moment.

Now, half a month later, the number of magic cores in the spiritual world has reached fifteen.

However, starting from the eleventh core, the difficulty of condensing the magic core suddenly increases dramatically.

The magic required for each one is equivalent to the total magic required for the previous ten.

Chu Ge secretly speculated that when she condensed her twenty-first magic core, the magic power required would be equivalent to the previous ten combined.

Being born with three elements is indeed very powerful, but the price is this terrifying bottomless pit of magic power.

Two hours later, a new magic core had condensed to about seven percent.

It will probably take another two or three days for the condensation to be fully completed.

"When will I be able to rule the world alone...?"

Chu Ge murmured softly, a hint of helplessness hidden in his eyes.

Thinking that tomorrow would be the school's first monthly exam, she slowly got up, preparing to return to her residence.

His gaze swept across the city streets in the distance.

There, cars drive by every few seconds; they are all people struggling to make a living.

The neon lights and nightscape are beautiful, but they have little to do with them; they can only catch a glimpse of them while waiting for the traffic lights to change.

"After this monthly exam is over, perhaps... I should go hunt some monsters."

Chu Ge remembered the white crystal core that Wang Jian had given her in class last time.

And her own.

The magic within that thing was equivalent to several hours of her arduous training, which was exactly what she needed now.

Chu Ge also tried purchasing crystal cores online.

But these things are so rare, they're gone in a flash, and I've never managed to snag one.

The next day.

Throughout the campus, discussions arose one after another, all revolving around the topic of the monthly exam.

"Have you heard? The top ten in the grade this month will receive incredibly generous rewards."

"At worst, you can get a monster core."

Monster Crystal Core?

Chu Ge heard this sentence as soon as he entered the classroom, and immediately became interested.

"Really?"

Some people voiced their doubts, "Beast cores aren't cheap. Even the lowest quality cores are now being sold for at least 50,000, and they're still hard to buy."

"These are things only rich kids can afford. Is the school really that generous?"

"Of course it's true."

The man's voice softened slightly as he looked around, and finally said:

"I went to the homeroom teacher's office to deliver something and overheard her chatting with teachers from other classes."

"Regarding the rewards for the top ten in this grade, the tenth place will receive one monster crystal core, the ninth place will receive two... and the first place will receive ten."

Is this some kind of office eavesdropping series?

Then we have no choice but to believe it.

The person who had previously been skeptical exclaimed, "He produced fifty-five demon beast cores all at once!"

"Tsk tsk..."

"At the current market price, it would cost at least 2.75 million. The school is really generous."

He stroked his chin, starting to fantasize: "Hiss, if I could get first place..."

"First?"

Someone present immediately poured cold water on his idea, sneering, "You're really dreaming big. White-haired Xiao Yan would shut up if he threw a Buddha's Wrath Lotus at your head."

"Well……"

The man became obedient.

The white-haired Xiao Yan naturally refers to Chu Ge.

Ever since she randomly set off the Buddha's Angry Lotus at the stadium, this nickname has slowly spread.

However, she herself quite likes it.

Every time I hear someone call her that in private, I get a jolt and a smirk, thinking that the person who gave her that nickname is a real genius.

I really want to reward him with a good meal.

Moreover, ever since that title came out, no one has dared to secretly slip love letters into her drawer anymore.

Many people treat her with utmost respect and automatically avoid her when they encounter her.

From this perspective, the white-haired Xiao Yan is truly an exceptional ID.

To hell with the Azure Dragon Taoist.

Who came up with that name? It's so corny.

……

The exam has begun.

The first exam was in Chinese.

Chu Ge's Chinese score was decent; he finished the questions quickly and handed in his paper half an hour early.

The second exam was in English.

Chu Ge's English grades were average, just passing, so she was always reluctant to go on family trips abroad.

Both of Chu's parents are intellectuals, graduates of top universities in China.

Chu Hong's learning ability is also top-notch, and he can communicate with foreigners without any problems.

The only words she could say to foreigners were "Hello," "Good night," and "Sorry."

She seemed rather dull.

The third exam was in mathematics.

It seems that he put all his talent into cultivation, which made Chu Ge's math skills extremely bad.

Aside from the multiple-choice questions, I didn't know how to begin answering the others, so I just left them blank.

Sure enough, when it comes to math, if you don't know it, you just don't know it, no matter how many times you're reborn.

Even though Lin Dong is invincible, he still can't do it.

Chu Ge wanted to hand in his paper early, but the proctor stopped him and ordered him to stay in his seat.

Feeling utterly bored, she simply closed her eyes and focused her mind, silently practicing in the examination room.

An hour later, halfway through the exam, she was finally able to leave the classroom.

Looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, Chu Ge sighed softly, a rare touch of melancholy rising in his heart.

Even if she performs normally in the academic exam, she'll only get a maximum of 200 points. What is she supposed to do?

Tomorrow's magic exam consists of three parts: magic power test, magic release, and simulated combat.

Each subject is worth 150 points. Even if you get full marks in all subjects, your total score will only be around 650 points.

This score is far from the total score of 900.

Sigh, I should have studied harder. Now I can only pray that everyone else is also a genius at specializing in one subject.

Otherwise, let alone first place in the monthly exam, even making the top ten would be uncertain, let alone this reward...

wrong!

Chu Ge suddenly realized that it was just a monthly exam, why should he be so upset about it?

"Monthly exam! Don't disturb my resolve!"

She raised her hand and slapped herself on the cheek with a crisp sound, instantly dispelling all her melancholy.

His mind returned to calm, his eyes regained their confidence, and he stood as straight as a pine tree.

Chu Ge lifted his foot and strode towards the school gate, full of vigor and arrogance.

"Fate is hard to defy, yet I will defy it; all others regret it, but I will not!"

"Hahaha! No monthly exam reward? Then I'll just go kill some myself!"

The girl's clear and unrestrained voice resounded throughout the entire campus, startling the birds on the branches into fluttering wings and scattering in all directions, and causing the insects and ants in the soil to peek out.

The students who had just walked out of the examination hall all stopped in their tracks, staring blankly at that tall and straight figure, their eyes filled with awe.

"Is this the mindset of the white-haired Xiao Yan...?"

Watching Chu Ge's departing figure, someone was slightly lost in thought. "Although I don't know what happened, it felt so exciting!"

"yes,"

The chubby boy next to her nodded in agreement and remarked, "Judging from what she said, she probably doesn't care about taking this monthly exam reward and is planning to obtain it in a more direct and self-centered way."

"You mean...hunting monsters?"

The man swallowed hard.

Although the authorities have always allowed citizens to hunt monsters themselves, at the same stage, a monster is strong enough to take on three human mages at once.

He asked uncertainly, "But is she really capable? Besides, Donghai City has such strict controls; where would she find someone?"

Little Fatty sneered: "Are you worried about White-Haired Xiao Yan? Don't forget how that big crater in the stadium wall came about."

"I heard that the construction team was completely shocked when they were repairing the school, thinking it had been bombed by terrorists. After they found out it was destroyed by students using magic, the foreman kept asking to see who the magician was."

"As for where she went to look, the area around the East China Sea, the authorities have specially fenced off a mountain, euphemistically called the place where monsters live."

Little Fatty leaned closer and whispered in the man's ear:

"The real goal is to create the nation's first monster ecological park and develop tourism."

"Of course, I heard all this from a relative who works at the Bureau of Culture and Tourism. The official announcement hasn't been made yet, so don't spread rumors."

"knew……"

The man nodded, then looked up again, trying to find Chu Ge's figure, but he could no longer see him.
