Magic High School.

Li Ge really wanted to complain, but he held back. He actually understood the school's purpose for this exam. It was similar to an extreme test, testing what students would do when their spiritual energy was almost exhausted under extreme conditions.

Also, the last exam was more combat-oriented, so is this one more strategy-oriented? The school probably means that even without participating in combat, this exam can be completed using strategy.

As Li Ge was thinking this, the broadcast sounded, and the next moment, they were all teleported to a separate squad hall.

At the same time, each of them received exam information again on their watches.

Midterm Exam World: The Fall of the Sky

Exam types: Strategy-based, Intelligence-based

Exam Introduction: This is a feudal ancient empire where the people are suffering. The empire's last vestiges of glory fade on this land, and the heavens will fall with the empire's demise. However, after the death of the heavens, another celestial order has not yet been established...

Exam objective: Prevent the sinking of China.

The moment they saw the exam information, Yilian, Valerie, and Xiaoye were all completely baffled.

They've all been banned from magic, so they're basically just big, unpowered chickens now. Your quest has all sorts of stuff about the Heavenly Dao, the Azure Sky, and the Fall of the Continent... Do you really think these are disasters that we first-year mages can handle?

Even without the magic ban, let alone being banned, these people would be utterly defeated if thrown into the Heavenly Will...

While the others were speechless, Li Ge fell silent...

This description seems so familiar...

Memories of his past life were assaulting him again, but 17 years had passed and many things were blurry to him, yet this thing looked very familiar.

Never mind, let's go check out the situation first.

Xiaoye seemed to notice his odd behavior and asked, "What's wrong? Are you having déjà vu again?"

Li Ge: "..."

Keep your voice down, don't let the school find out you're a cheater.

Soon, they were teleported, and the next moment, they all landed in a dark ravine.

Their clothes had all been changed, now consisting of coarse linen garments, which looked even more familiar to Li Ge.

They seemed to be in a small mountain village, with groups of torches appearing in the distance.

"Let's start looking for clues and information. I reckon that the 'heaven' and 'collapse' in the exam information are just adjectives, not that we really have to fight against fate. So let's start by finding intelligence about this feudal empire," Xiaoye said.

At this moment, Li Ge originally thought that since magic was blocked, the clown mask would no longer pop up.

However, the clown mask reappeared the next moment, unaffected by the school's magic ban.

A new world has been detected. The Noble Phantasm "Clown Mask" is activated!

Currently available comedic abilities: Recognizing a thief as one's father, becoming my son.

Chapter 69 Magical Advancement Table of Contents

[Option 1: Recognize a thief as your father: When you recognize anyone older than you as your godfather, the other party will most likely agree and treat you as a true adopted son. You will also temporarily have "Special Attack Against Fathers", which will cause a critical hit and a fatal blow when you betray any godfather.]

Note: A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long!

[Option 2: Be my son: When you adopt anyone younger than you as your son, the other person will most likely be extremely grateful and will respect and admire you. Furthermore, there is no reason for a father and son to harm each other.]

Note: Be my son!

Li Ge: "..."

Could these two abilities belong to the ill-fated couple, Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo?

Li Ge even wanted to complain, but since magic was now banned, the comedic abilities granted by the clown mask could still be used!

As for which one to choose, although Li Ge wanted to choose "be my son", this thing only works when used on someone younger than himself, and Li Ge is only 17 years old, so this ability is completely useless to him.

Although Li Ge didn't want to cosplay as Lu Bu and become a traitor, the ability to "recognize a thief as one's father" was obviously more suitable for him. At worst, he could just wield a halberd in his left hand, Frostmourne in his right, and carry a signal axe and a ten-fist sword on his back, and become a father-killer for once.

At this moment, the others seemed to notice Li Ge's dazed expression, and Xiao Ye immediately understood: "What strange abilities do you have now?"

They were used to Li Ge being stunned for a while when he arrived in a new world.

"Wait a minute, isn't magic forbidden in the academy? How can you have such strange abilities?" Yi Lian began to question.

Valerie then raised her hand: "I think we should try to see how effective our abilities are even if magic is banned. This is just an ordinary little mountain village, without even a written language. I guess the people here are illiterate."

Yilian and Xiaoye nodded. Indeed, they hadn't found any information either. This place was just too desolate. They only found half a pot of rice at most, and it was even a little moldy.

"Hey, the treasure your parents left you wouldn't still work even when magic is suppressed, would it?" Xiaoye asked immediately. She even instinctively wanted to elbow Li Ge in the waist, but remembering the phantom pain she still felt after being elbowed in the chest last time, she immediately withdrew her elbow strike.

“Indeed, I have an ability even in this magic-suppressing environment. My new ability is called ‘Recognizing a Thief as Father.’ I can recognize anyone as my godfather, and they will basically agree to take me as their godson.” Li Ge revealed his new ability.

The other three: "..."

"Everyone, let's disperse. It seems like this is an even more useless ability, and I still have to become someone else's son..." Xiaoye complained. Why does the treasure left by Li Ge's parents always produce some strange things?

The previous uncertainty about their fate was already quite abstract, but thankfully they later developed some strange uses for it. Now, this ability is even more abstract, as it involves voluntarily becoming someone else's son.

“Wait, this thing is really useful. Let me tell you, in my hometown there was a godfather killer who specialized in stabbing godfathers and even went down in history for it,” Li Ge explained immediately.

The group still maintained their habit of playful banter, searching for information about the surrounding area while testing their respective Noble Phantasms after being silenced by magic.

Yilian's liquid fire is currently only at the temperature of boiling water, so it would probably be difficult to even make instant noodles. As for the mimicry function, Yilian said it should be able to mimic, but it would be very difficult and hard to use.

Xiaoye is even simpler; she can't even control her shadow, so she's just harder to spot when she's hiding in the shadows.

Valerie scratched her head sheepishly. She could still summon the Holy Light Pony and even make it explode, but only with sound and light effects. The explosive power was gone, and the Holy Light Pony could not be materialized and could not appear as a mount.

As for Li Ge, he silently activated his golden eyes, causing the others to gasp in shock.

"Your Noble Phantasm can still be used?" Yilian complained.

Li Ge: "..."

"Actually, I can't see the label now, and the Lion's Eye buff for me has completely disappeared. The only thing that remains is this headlight-like special effect..." Li Ge said somewhat speechlessly.

Even the hypnotic eye is suppressed by the anti-magic field; it probably takes a long time for it to take effect when you make eye contact with someone.

other people:"……"

"Let's just call it a day, he's been nerfed too," Xiaoye complained.

It's fair to say that everyone's abilities have been severely crippled. Yilian's liquid fire, at least, is still close to 100 degrees Celsius even though it's been silenced by magic. Xiaoye is at least less likely to be discovered when she hides in the shadows. Valerie's pony can still explode, but instead of high-explosive grenades, it's now a flashbang.

As for Li Ge, the Lion's Eye only retains the function of high beams. His ability is to hide two lions in his pupils and turn on the high beams? Perhaps add the ability to have someone else become his godfather. This ability seems abstract no matter how you look at it.

On the bright side, since they are in ancient times, could Li Ge's Lion's Eye be used as a flashlight?

"Da da da……"

The faint sound was especially clear at night.

Xiaoye was the first to spot it. She immediately pressed her ear to the ground and said, "About 5 kilometers away, there are hoofbeats, about several hundred people, and the sound of cart tracks."

“It was the sound of horses’ hooves…” Li Ge added.

"Shall we go take a look?"

"go with!"

After a brief exchange of ideas, the team prepared to head to the area where the sound of horses' hooves could be heard to investigate.

After all, their initial small mountain village had no clues. It was extremely desolate and dilapidated, and even the farmland seemed to be neglected. In addition, there was not a single written word, so they couldn't find any clues.

By the way, after installing the system, they added a language translation function, so you no longer need to worry about language barriers. The translation system will convert different languages ​​and texts into your most familiar native language.

Even if it encounters text that is not included in the database, the translation system can completely crack it with just a few hundred basic words.

Therefore, although the school's system cannot directly add points to increase strength, its panel display, language translation, experience bar display, and other functions are very useful.

The group stealthily made their way to the area where the sound of horses' hooves could be heard. The closer they got, the louder the sounds of carriages and horses became.

The group didn't get too close in the end, but instead hid on the hilltop and saw a large group of people on horseback below, escorting people in prison carts.

The prison cart was a flatbed cart with a wooden stake erected on it, and a person was tied to the stake. Behind the prison cart was a flag with the words "Sima" written on it.

"Deng Shizai, have you come to this? Do you still recognize me?" the accompanying men mocked.

The other guards around him also cursed, seemingly mocking and cursing the scholar in the prison cart. The general who had once treated them with almost torture-like harshness, had he ever imagined that he would end up in such a state?

For a moment, Li Ge was completely stunned.

Deng Shizai... and those familiar clothes, and that banner with the two characters "Sima" written in clerical script...

Deng Shizai, Sima, and these words and clothes...

Generous gift of crabs! This is the Jin Dynasty! This is the magical Jin Dynasty catalog!

Chapter 70: The Gift! Fast forward to the southward migration of the elite.

If it weren't for the "Sima" banner, Li Ge probably wouldn't have been able to guess who "Deng Shizai" was or what time it was for a long time.

Deng Ai, courtesy name Shizai, was captured in early 264 AD for plotting a rebellion. Sima Zhao's men escorted him from Chengdu back to Luoyang.

During the journey, he was attacked and killed by men instigated by Zhong Hui.

In other words, by this time Shu Han had already fallen, Liu Shan (A Dou) was enjoying himself in Luoyang and had forgotten about Shu, and the entire world was basically under the control of the Jin Dynasty.

Moreover, it is now the end of the Three Kingdoms period, and Li Ge only knows the general outline of what happened at this time. There is no way around it, because in her previous life, all the stories of the Three Kingdoms basically went fast-forward after the Emperor entrusted his son to the White Emperor.

Then, the Prime Minister's fall from the sky at Wuzhangyuan signifies the end of the Three Kingdoms story. The story then fast-forwards to Jiang Boyue's "My plan failed, it is fate," which means that the Three Kingdoms officially ended.

Therefore, Li Ge only has a general impression of this history, and is completely clueless about all the details.

No, Li Ge thought for a moment. The Sima family hadn't completely usurped the throne yet; at least on the surface, it was still Cao Wei.

But it's all meaningless now. When Cao Mao was kicked to death by the roadside by Sima Zhao's men a few years ago, it meant that Cao Wei was completely defeated and didn't even have the slightest power to resist.

Of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu, Cao Wei was the first to fall. What was most disgusting about the Sima family was that they actually usurped the throne under the banner of restoring the Han dynasty.

Looking at the "fall of the heavens and sinking of the land" in the exam information, isn't this just fast-forwarding to the War of the Eight Princes, the southward migration of the elite, and then the Northern and Southern Dynasties?

Li Ge was completely dumbfounded.

No, why at this time?!

Back when Dong Zhuo was in power, Li Ge could still mend things, or during the warlord era, he could even use his future advantages to find a way to rise to prominence and then assist Cao Cao, the Imperial Uncle, or even Sun Ce! He could quickly end the internal strife.

Even later, while the Prime Minister was still alive, Li Ge could still manage to pull off some big things.

Even later, when Shu Han still existed, Li Ge could have found a way to assassinate Sima Zhao and stir up trouble between the Sima family and Cao Wei!
