Chapter 12: When a Temporary Student ID Can Run the Mock Exam

The four of them walked out of the stone gate, and Li Qiuchuan, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward: “How did it go?”

“We passed,” the three said excitedly, their faces still flushed with excitement.

A wild academic genius—too awesome!

“Next, the two-year simulation exam—did anyone pass?”

Jiang Changkong said gently, “You just lie back, I’ll sweep through everything, and the Star Stones go to me.”

He already had a good understanding of the simulation exams.

For anything below the three-year simulation college entrance exam, he should be able to sweep through effortlessly.

“What a coincidence, I happen to know…”

“Li Qiuchuan, if you dare call anyone else, I’ll kill you.”

The people who had been waiting for a long time gathered around, shouting and cursing.

Finally, there’s a wild academic genius, and you want to hog it all?

Li Qiuchuan felt a bit awkward and reluctantly shut his mouth.

“How soon can the Star Stones be delivered?” Jiang Changkong asked again.

“We’ll go get the rewards right away, within an hour.”

After saying this, the three hurriedly left.

“Academic genius, choose me, choose me this time.”

A group of students eagerly pleaded.

“Anyone will do. Li Qiuchuan, don’t leave later.”

Jiang Changkong called out.

“Academic genius, I definitely won’t leave,” Li Qiuchuan said, his face lighting up with joy.

Was this about teaming up with him to tackle the simulation college entrance exam?

Although Jiang Changkong’s displayed strength wasn’t enough to crush the simulation college entrance exam, he was a late-stage stellar qi practitioner who could withstand a mid-stage stellar qi sword strike without a scratch.

This was the limit of late-stage stellar qi, approaching peak stellar qi.

With such a master joining, the chances of passing the simulation college entrance exam were high.

Jiang Changkong chose a team of three mid-stage stellar qi practitioners to participate in the two-year simulation exam.

It was also four Golden Figures, but their strength had increased to the limit of mid-stage stellar qi, equipped with First Tier High Grade weapons.

This time, Jiang Changkong conducted another test. The First Tier High Grade weapons could only leave extremely faint white marks on his body.

With a wipe of his hand, the marks disappeared.

Still unable to break his defense!

And with the fierce force of Taiji Fist, he once again scattered the four Golden Figures in a single move.

Passing the one-year simulation exam rewarded four First Tier Medium Grade Star Stones.

Passing the two-year simulation exam rewarded four First Tier High Grade Star Stones.

Jiang Changkong walked out of the two-year simulation exam room, and Li Qiuchuan was still waiting.

The crowd had already dispersed. Now that the wild academic genius had cleared both the one-year and two-year exams, it seemed the simulation college entrance exam would also go to Li Qiuchuan. With no chance left for them, they naturally dispersed.

The three went to collect the clearance rewards, while Jiang Changkong pulled Li Qiuchuan aside and sat on the flower bed outside.

Li Qiuchuan said excitedly, “Senior, as long as you help clear the three-year simulation college entrance exam, the second-order stellar stone will be yours.”

“Let’s talk about that after we get the Star Stones. I have something to discuss with you.”

Jiang Changkong thought for a moment and said, “If possible, I could even help you for free.”

“For free?” Li Qiuchuan looked at him in surprise, then quickly waved his hand. “How could that be?”

Free things aren’t easy to take—Li Qiuchuan understood this principle.

Especially since Jiang Changkong was familiar with both Ji Ziling and Zhou Wen.

“Let’s talk later,” Jiang Changkong said.

Li Qiuchuan nodded and remained silent, patiently waiting.

In less than an hour, the original three arrived, carrying four First Tier Medium Grade Star Stones, which they handed to Jiang Changkong.

Essence: 200, 200, 200, 200. Extract?

First Tier Medium Grade—200 points each!

Jiang Changkong was inwardly thrilled. This was 800 points in one go.

Not long after, the three mid-stage stellar qi practitioners arrived with the First Tier High Grade Star Stones.

Each piece was 300 points!

Total: 2,000!

Jiang Changkong put away the Star Stone, not rushing to extract it.

“Let’s go, we need to find a quiet place to talk.” Jiang Changkong stood up.

Li Qiuchuan nodded, preparing to leave with him.

“I passed the two-year Simulation Exam!”

A voice filled with arrogance and exhaustion rang out.

Jiang Changkong looked up to see a figure covered in wounds, yet wearing a bright smile on his face.

That genius, Gu Xiaoyu.

Essence: +3, +1, +2…

He’s a good person.

“What’s with those expressions?”

Instead of receiving looks of admiration and awe, Gu Xiaoyu felt their gazes were filled with disdain?

What was going on?

“Look at you, all proud. Senior Changkong just passed it with a single move.”

The mid-stage stellar qi cultivator who had just been carried through the exam curled his lips.

Gu Xiaoyu: “…”

What happened while I was taking the Simulation Exam?

Passing the two-year Simulation Exam with a single move?

Which senior is this?

Wait, all the seniors should have already passed. Changkong… I haven’t heard of him.

Could he be a hidden super genius?

With no more Essence to gain, Jiang Changkong left with Li Qiuchuan.

The two left the Martial Arts School and found a secluded corner.

“Senior, what did you want to discuss with me?” Li Qiuchuan asked curiously.

“What comes next, I hope you can keep it to yourself. Otherwise, it could be troublesome.”

Jiang Changkong said seriously.

Li Qiuchuan’s expression changed slightly: “If it’s some kind of secret, you don’t need to tell me. The fewer people who know a secret, the better.”

Jiang Changkong fell silent for a moment before saying, “I haven’t joined the Martial Arts School yet.”

“Oh… what?”

Li Qiuchuan instinctively responded before his expression shifted.

If he hasn’t joined the Martial Arts School, how did he take the Simulation Exam?

Jiang Changkong pulled out a temporary student ID: “It’s temporary. The information on the student ID resets every day.”

“This temporary student ID of yours is different from the kind I can get.”

Li Qiuchuan was momentarily stunned before his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Jiang Changkong.

The information resets every day—what did that mean?

It meant Jiang Changkong could go take the Simulation Exam every day, carrying others and showing off.

He could also get a temporary student ID, but not this kind, and he couldn’t take the Simulation Exam with it.

Of course it was different—this was given by Ji Ziling, the school’s super genius.

“I’ll take the Star Stones, and in return, I’ll help you pass the Simulation College Entrance Exam for free. How about that?”

Jiang Changkong looked at him with intense eyes.

“This temporary student ID is different from the usual kind.”

Li Qiuchuan stared at the card with a hint of envy: “How did you get it? Can you help me get one too?”

“What do you think?”

Jiang Changkong curled his lips.

This was something he had sacrificed his future happiness for.

But Ji Ziling hadn’t tricked him—the special effect was actually this powerful.

Could it be that, knowing he needed Star Stones, Ji Ziling intentionally supported him?

This comrade is a good comrade.

If he hadn’t known so few people in the school, with Ji Ziling practicing her skills at the clinic,

and Zhou Wen nowhere to be found, he wouldn’t have bothered looking for Li Qiuchuan.

Now that Li Qiuchuan knew he had connections with the two of them, partnering with him was safer than with other students.

“Because temporary student IDs are usually given out during enrollment for temporary use, and they’re not this kind either.”

Li Qiuchuan explained: “You’re the first person to attempt the Simulation Exam with a temporary student ID.”

“I’ll share some of the Star Stones with you, and we can develop together. How about that?”

Jiang Changkong whispered.

“Agreed, how do we split the profits?” Li Qiuchuan replied without hesitation.

“You tell me,” said Jiang Changkong.

“Sixty-forty, plus one condition,” Li Qiuchuan thought for a moment and said.

“One condition?” Jiang Changkong frowned.

“Senior, you’re very strong and you know Senior Ziling and Senior Zhou Wen.”

Li Qiuchuan smiled. “The five-year college entrance exam is difficult. When necessary, I’ll need your help.”

“Add a condition, and it’s seventy-thirty.”

Jiang Changkong thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, “Even if there are greater benefits in the future, I won’t take a single cent.”

He needed Star Stones to improve his strength now.

If he could obtain a large number of Star Stones, he didn’t mind making one promise.

A sixty-forty split was too little, and it came with an additional condition.

“Deal. I’ll contact the students at the school, and you’ll be responsible for taking action. I’ll conceal your identity.”

Li Qiuchuan agreed.

After finalizing their discussion, they chatted for a while longer before parting ways.

Today’s activities had already concluded.

Li Qiuchuan’s Simulation College Entrance Exam was still three months away, so there was no rush.

He didn’t need three months; he only needed to gather enough Essence for Iron Shirt within these two months.

As long as Iron Shirt was perfected to its limit, he could easily dominate the three-year simulation college entrance exam.

Moreover, he still needed to reserve Essence to learn another martial art—either a saber or sword technique would do.

When killing Star Demons, having a weapon would be much more convenient.

Today’s Simulation Exam made him realize one thing.

His Iron Shirt and Taiji Fist were very different from those in this world.

The Iron Shirt developed in this world couldn’t block Star Demons or first-order weapons.

But he could block them!

The explosive power of Taiji Fist in this world was inferior to his Tai Chi Fist Scripture. With a single punch, he could shatter the Golden Figure.

That Golden Figure was designed according to Star Demon standards!

Being able to kill the Golden Figure meant he could kill Star Demons.

He also gained a proper understanding of Star Stones.

What Zhou Wen had given him earlier was a First Tier Top Grade Star Stone, while the compensation from those two was only a first-order low-grade one.
