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

When the supervising robot let the project through, Bai Jinxuan had an urge to dismantle it.

After all that, it turns out the problem was with the program!

Fortunately, I remained calm and didn't throw a grenade in a moment of panic, otherwise things would have been much worse.

Thinking of this, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing her expression change drastically, the proctor looked guilty.

"I'm sorry, Bai Jinxuan. I didn't expect this robot to actually malfunction. I was a little rude to you just now. Please forgive me."

"It's okay, teacher. If it were me, I would trust the robot's judgment immediately as well."

After exchanging polite smiles, Bai Jinxuan walked from the aisle between the desks and chairs to the back of the classroom, found her seat number, and went to the front row near the left-hand window.

Throughout the entire process, she could feel the students in the examination room secretly glancing at her, and even after she sat down, she could vaguely hear people gossiping behind her back.

"She's that White God from Fifth Middle School? Terrifyingly so..."

"I thought she was really carrying contraband; maybe this way she'd have one less competitor."

"I wonder if I'll be able to catch a glimpse of her answer..."

Am I that famous?

Bai Jinxuan rested her chin on her thumb and forefinger, deep in thought.

It's important to know that this joint exam involved eight schools, including No. 5, No. 6, No. 7, and No. 8 Middle Schools in Xiacheng District.

Because the educational environment at No. 7 Middle School and No. 8 Middle School was relatively poor, the Education Bureau instructed their students to take the exams at No. 5 Middle School and No. 6 Middle School, respectively.

And because No. 5 Middle School could accommodate more test takers, in the end, No. 5 Middle School took on the vast majority of the test takers, which can be considered worthy of its reputation as the top school in Xiacheng District.

Therefore, there is a high probability that there are many candidates from No. 7 Middle School and No. 8 Middle School in this examination room. They do not study at No. 5 Middle School, so how would they recognize themselves?

Could it be because of the live broadcast of that sports meet? It seems Yao Yao saw the broadcast too...

Having discovered the truth, Bai Jinxuan sighed and silently took out her exam supplies from her bag—a potion of wisdom, a potion of mana, and a potion of energy.

This time, instead of bringing drinks, she actually brought in these bottles of medicine.

Although they're pretty much the same as drinks, the only difference being that they don't taste as good or are less sweet, this action is still quite necessary, after all...

The joint examination is quite strict; they won't let her bring in any unknown drugs.

"Jingle Bell--!"

While Bai Jinxuan was lost in thought, a shrill ringtone sounded.

The proctor immediately stood on the podium and held up the exam paper bag that was still sealed by magic.

"Everyone, watch carefully. The exam papers haven't been opened yet. I'm going to inject magic power to break the sealing array."

The proctor used magic to hold the exam paper bag in mid-air, and powerful magic surged into it. The red magic circle at the seal of the exam paper bag was slowly dyed green. Then, with a "pop," the seal broke open, and the exam paper bag turned into a wisp of gray, leaving only a thick stack of exam papers in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the proctor waved his hand, and the exam papers in the air began to separate and were neatly distributed on each candidate's desk.

"There are five minutes left before the official exam. During this time, I will activate the Touch-Severing Magic. You will not be able to use the magic pen to answer the questions, but you can observe the exam questions."

After she finished speaking, she sat quietly on the podium and waited, while the robot at the door walked in and patrolled the back of the classroom, dragging a whip.

Honestly, it's kind of scary. There's always this feeling that if you write the questions a little too slowly, a whip will come lashing out at you.

Forget about that for now, let's focus on the questions first...

After carefully reviewing the exam questions, Bai Jinxuan had already created a complete time plan in her mind. At that moment, a new alarm rang.

The proctor's voice came from the podium: "The exam is now officially starting!"

"Shh-"

The synchronized sound of the magic pen starting up.

At this moment, Bai Jinxuan also felt the connection between the magic circuit and the magic pen.

You can start writing now!

The exam paper is divided into multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, and application questions, which are progressively more difficult and test the candidates' control, application, judgment, and proficiency in magic from various aspects.

People who score high on exams are usually also adept at using magic in real life, which shows how valuable magic exams are.

However, Bai Jinxuan's humanities grades were only average to below average, and she had spent most of the month practicing martial arts, so it would be quite difficult for her to achieve good results in the magic mechanics exam.

The first multiple-choice question, often called a "free point" question, held her captive for five minutes.

You should know that, normally, easy questions are meant to be answered within 50 seconds, but a genius like Murong Yao wouldn't even need 10 seconds...

The magic mechanics exam only lasts two hours. If he takes too long, he won't have time to tackle the application problems at the end, which are where the real difference in scores comes in!

What a bad start! Are these questions twice as difficult as usual?

Why do I feel like this part wasn't taught? Is it beyond the curriculum?

Using magic to control Go stones to build a 10-meter-high tower on the board without it collapsing... Huh? Where's my control ball to get out of the maze?

Damn, what a terrible exam paper! Did the person who set the questions lose their mind? I bet they're the only one in the world who could come up with such idiotic questions! Making it so difficult just to show off how awesome they are, huh?

You better keep your name hidden, or I'll find out where you live, or you'll be in big trouble!

Twenty minutes passed, and Bai Jinxuan channeled her grief and anger into motivation. Since she couldn't understand it anyway, she would just go with her gut feeling. As for building that tower, only an idiot would do that.

The Go board is so small, and the Go pieces are oval. Even if you were to build a square Go board, it would be quite good if you could build a 2-meter-long structure. But he's going to build a 10-meter-long one!

Let whoever wants to wear it wear it, she's not going to wear it anyway.

The last word problem seems to be a simulated battle?

Maybe I can give it a try.

Bai Jinxuan immediately connected to the exam space and discovered that the final question actually required the examinee to fight against an evil tree in the exam paper.

Because the magic pen records the examinee's behavior, including deductions for failing to answer questions. In other words, if she rashly enters the final question, she may not only fail to get points, but also lose points due to her disastrous failure.

This is why test takers who lack confidence often dare not attempt the most challenging questions.

That's why the final question has a very high score percentage; it's the most difficult and best able to comprehensively assess a student's abilities.

Damn it, whatever, I messed up the first few questions anyway, so what if I lose points? I'm not afraid of you losing points! Go ahead and deduct them!

She gritted her teeth and pointed the magic pen directly at the final question.

The magic circuit instantly connected with the magic exam paper.

Let's take a gamble, and maybe we'll turn a bicycle into a motorcycle. It's just the Evil Sky Tree; I just killed it last night!

After entering the magical space, her spiritual body was completely replicated in the center of a jungle, which looked very similar to the jungle on the second level of the dungeon.

It's estimated that the person who set the question used the Evil Heaven Tree as a blueprint based on the real-world environment.

Only elemental magic can be used, but it is comprehensive, including basic elemental magic of all seven attributes, which can be considered a condition given by the question setter.

The only objective is to kill the Evil Heavenly Tree.

The question setter was very cunning and didn't add a time limit to the question. In other words, killing the Evil Sky Tree is a long process, but the exam time is limited. It is very likely that the exam will end before the candidates have finished killing the Evil Sky Tree.

However, this was no problem for Bai Jinxuan. Since the other questions were all about the same difficulty level for her, she might as well challenge the final question with the highest score.

Let's get started as soon as possible!

This time, Bai Jinxuan was not facing the Evil Heavenly Tree as a martial artist; her identity was that of a magician.

Novice adventurers might think that using fire elemental magic would be better to deal with the Evil Sky Tree, but this is actually a trap. Bai Jinxuan realized this when she realized that the examiner had prepared elemental magic rather than auxiliary magic for the candidates.

Yesterday, when she dealt with the Evil Sky Tree, she tried using an incendiary potion to burn it. However, instead of harming the tree, it enraged it. With a flick of its tentacles, the flames were extinguished, followed by a devastating attack...

The only effective way to defeat the Evil Sky Tree is with light-attribute magic.

Seeing the Evil Heaven Tree tentatively extending its tentacles towards them, Bai Jinxuan ran to the right while using light arrows to strike its main body.

She originally thought that by restraining Xie Tianshu in this way, she could quickly wear down the opponent's blood.

However, when she actually did it, she found that her speed was incredibly slow.

Only then did she realize that her spiritual body's constitution was unrelated to her physical body. In other words, as a magician, she was now physically inferior to herself a month ago.

"What a magician I am!"

Bai Jinxuan couldn't help but complain; she knew the final question wouldn't be that simple.

She could have dodged the tentacles by moving around, but now she has to use some of her light arrows to block them, which undoubtedly consumes a huge amount of her magic power.

Soon, one-tenth of the magic power given by the question was consumed, while the Evil Heaven Tree's health was only slightly reduced.

Looking at the despairing health bar, Bai Jinxuan realized that the question setter must have had his reasons for giving seven types of elemental magic.

Upon closer inspection, she discovered that, apart from light magic, all other elements possessed a special elemental magic—Flash Fill·X Element.

This thing doesn't seem to be basic magic.

She then found the corresponding elemental magic within the light attribute magic, Ultimate Flash, which requires the fusion of seven elements.

It is used to charge up energy, unleashing a powerful flash cannon.

Unlike other elemental magic, this magic requires the examinee to reconstruct it, fusing the elemental magic 'components' prepared by the examiner and then reconstructing them into the ultimate flash magic circle, making the operation extremely difficult.

Bai Jinxuan immediately understood that this was the key to solving the problem. Using other elemental magic to attack the Evil Heaven Tree was completely ineffective, not to mention that the Evil Heaven Tree could repair itself. Only by using all her magic power and striking with all her might could she achieve victory.

Give it a try! You think you can fail?

Since she couldn't escape anyway, she simply clasped her hands together, connecting the magic power between them and creating a pure white magic circle.

Eighty percent of the magic power was channeled into the magic circle through the arms. The left hand had the three attributes of metal, fire, and earth, while the right hand had the three attributes of wood, water, and darkness. Combined with the light attribute of the magic circle itself, the seven attributes slowly merged together, like a chemical reaction, which triggered a huge energy fluctuation.

The entire earth trembled, and a vast and chaotic energy was rampaging through the magic array. Bai Jinxuan felt that she might lose her grip at any moment, causing her to explode.

She wanted to quickly release this hot potato in her hand, but feeling the changes in the magic power within her body, she felt that this was only 6% of her magic power, and that this level of power might not be enough to kill the Evil Heaven Tree.

She didn't have the ability to unleash another Ultimate Flash right now. If the Evil Heavenly Tree wasn't dead, she would be the one to die. Just bear with it a little longer! Use all your magic power!

Because the Evil Heaven Tree's movements were restricted by the light arrow unleashed by Bai Jinxuan's other magic power, this attack was guaranteed to hit.

"It's...it's reached its limit!"

Bai Jinxuan's hands were aching terribly and trembling violently. The massive magic circle in her palms was brimming with energy, which could leak out at any moment. If that happened, the magic circle would collapse and begin to self-destruct, causing a violent explosion.

"My magic power is depleted...!"

She felt that her hands were no longer replenished with new elemental magic energy, while on the other side, the Evil Sky Tree had just broken free from the light arrows used to restrain it, and its blood-red tentacles covered the sky, the tips of which were like countless spears, piercing towards her.

It's now!

Aim at the trunk beneath the Evil Heaven Tree, and unleash Ultimate Flash!

“Buzz——!!!”

The intense light bathed the entire world in white.

When Bai Jinxuan came to her senses, what lay before her was a test paper densely covered with writing.

This is... my exam paper?

She was stunned for a moment. This was the first time she had written so much on the final question. Usually, she would leave the final question blank and get zero marks from the teacher.

And judging from this state, could it be that I've succeeded!?

The girl took a deep breath, and a great sense of joy welled up in her heart. In any case, at least she had finished the last question!

For her, this exam was already a perfect score!

Thinking of this, she raised her head and checked the time.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it; it only took her 6 minutes to complete the entire challenging question.

I... am so powerful!

This time, I might be able to finish the whole exam!

She regained her composure, drank several bottles of potion, and picked up her magic pen again.

Although she was unaffected by the drug, her mental exhaustion continued to increase with each problem she solved. But who was Bai Jinxuan?

She kills without blinking an eye in the dungeon, and can hunt monsters in undeveloped areas for a whole day and night. Every time she gets home, she's so tired that she just lies in the bathtub. This little bit of fatigue is nothing to her!
