Chapter Forty: The Exam Is Too Easy, Yang Feng Sleeps Soundly in the Examination Hall
“Old Qin, this time Donghai No. 1 High School is really going to make a splash.”
“A perfect score of one hundred—such a result hasn’t appeared in years.”
“In the first round of the exam, the top three places, and both first and second are from Donghai No. 1 High School.”
“This time, Donghai No. 1 is bound to become famous!”
“If Yang Feng manages to become the top scorer in Jiangnan Province’s college entrance exam, your school will be renowned throughout!”
...
Listening to the voices around him, Qin Han’s face was filled with excitement. He hadn’t expected Yang Feng to actually achieve a perfect score. The thrill was so overwhelming that for a moment, Qin Han was speechless.
After all the examinees had made their choices, the second round of the examination officially began.
Suddenly, a beam of light shone down on Yang Feng, and then he disappeared entirely. When he regained his senses, he found himself in an isolated space.
Before he could react, a monstrous creature with the body of a horse and the head of a human charged toward him.
Without hesitation, Yang Feng summoned a Crow Warrior.
The Crow Warrior immediately launched itself at the centaur beast.
At the same time, Yang Feng tossed out a probing water sphere.
[Monster: Centaur Beast]
[Level: 14]
[Combat Strength: 1000]
[Speed: 500]
[Mental Power: 300]
[Defense: 500]
Hmm… these attributes seem a bit weak! Even compared to the Wind Wolf King in the Qingshan Town dungeon, this one is still inferior.
Very quickly, Yang Feng understood why. After all, this was only an examination, and the monsters chosen had to be suitable for most people. If the monsters were too strong, many examinees would be eliminated. In that case, the exam would lose all its meaning.
The purpose of the college entrance exam is not to eliminate candidates, but to select outstanding talent from among the masses.
The Crow Warrior had already darted toward the centaur beast, its sharp beak stabbing deep into the creature’s flesh, blood pouring out instantly.
With just a single strike, the centaur beast was grievously wounded.
It barely had time to counterattack before the Crow Warrior struck again.
In no time at all, the centaur beast was slain by the Crow Warrior.
“Two moves, and the centaur beast is dead!”
Seeing this, Yang Feng summoned another Crow Warrior.
Now, two Crow Warriors circled above Yang Feng’s head, waiting for the next monster to appear.
A few seconds later, a second centaur beast emerged.
Both Crow Warriors attacked at once, and within seconds, the beast was killed.
“This exam is just too easy!”
After a few rounds, Yang Feng finally understood—the moment a centaur beast was slain, another would appear ten seconds later.
The second round of the exam was mainly a test of the candidates’ ability to fight continuously.
The examiners were stunned by the sight.
“How are Yang Feng’s summoned creatures so powerful?”
“I’ve seen many summoners, but never summoned pets like these!”
“And he’s summoned two crows at once.”
“It seems the Cursed Sorcerer class is quite formidable!”
Yang Feng’s own abilities were already impressive, but no one expected his summoned pets to be so powerful as well. It was clear now how mighty the Cursed Sorcerer profession truly was.
Meanwhile, in the examination hall, Yang Feng looked completely bored. The battles were absurdly easy. The two Crow Warriors hovered above, waiting. Each time a centaur beast appeared, they struck instantly, killing it in a flash.
The examiners were no longer interested in watching Yang Feng’s fight and shifted their attention to the other candidates.
Ye Mengyan, for example, held a staff in hand and continuously cast spells. Since she had chosen the normal mode, the monsters weren’t very strong. Essentially, a single spell was enough to kill each one. Between monsters, she took every opportunity to recover her mental strength. Though it looked a bit monotonous, compared to Yang Feng’s performance, her exam at least had some suspense.
Ye Mengyan’s performance won the examiners’ approval.
As for Zhao Haoran, he wielded a longsword. Each slash sent a centaur beast flying. Every time he fought, his entire body radiated holy light—truly fitting for a Paladin.
The Sacred Light was the Paladin’s active skill, greatly boosting his attack power.
“Zhao Haoran is pretty good, but he’s going all out from the start!”
“If he keeps this up, his mental strength will be heavily depleted later on.”
“He doesn’t know how to distribute his attributes. Compared to Ye Mengyan, he’s still lacking.”
In fact, the examiners weren’t concerned with how many monsters each candidate killed. What they cared about was how the examinees performed in battle—who could endure a full hour of combat, and what state they were in at the start versus the end.
After all, the second round lasted a full hour.
If you spend all your energy at the start, by the end you’ll be exhausted with no way to recover.
After comparing Ye Mengyan and Zhao Haoran, the examiners had already made up their minds. Clearly, Ye Mengyan was the superior candidate.
Now, turning back to Yang Feng—
“What is that kid doing?”
“Heavens! He’s actually sleeping!”
“Does he even care about this exam at all?”
“Watching him sleep is making me drowsy too!”
At that moment, Yang Feng was lying on the ground, snoring away. Last night, he’d been too excited to sleep, so he was taking this opportunity to catch up on his rest. After all, these battles didn’t require his involvement. Each time a centaur beast appeared, the two Crow Warriors would instantly kill it. With nothing else to do, why not take a nap?
“Sleeping during the college entrance exam—Yang Feng must be the first!”
“Take a screenshot of him sleeping! He’ll be famous for this for the rest of his life!”
“This exam is too easy for Yang Feng. Maybe we should increase the difficulty for him!”
Watching Yang Feng sleep, the examiners were gnashing their teeth. Everyone else was fighting for their lives, while Yang Feng was napping. What’s more, he was still in first place.
“Don’t make it harder for him. This is the college entrance exam—fairness is paramount!”
Throughout the second round, Ding Wu hadn’t said a word, but he kept his eyes fixed on Yang Feng, clearly very interested in him.
“This Yang Feng is quite something,” he mused.
During the hour-long exam, some people chose to give up, while others, injured, were forced to withdraw. An hour of non-stop combat was a severe test of any candidate’s endurance.
This was not a dungeon run, where you could rest whenever you tired of killing monsters.
Only Yang Feng remained, sleeping soundly in the examination hall.
Finally, the hour was up.
As the exam ended, all the monsters vanished without a trace.
