Chapter 92: Score Calculation

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Score Calculation

’Time to bolt!’

The two Tier Two Middle-Grade Soul Beasts had fled in a flash, and a sudden silence had fallen over the area. In this silent environment, Li Heng didn’t dare stay a second longer.

Even if he didn’t know what would happen next, following their lead and getting out was definitely the right move.

After all, he remembered very clearly what Bao Yaoyao had said: an altar meant great terror!

If the Black Feathered Lizard’s sudden mad dash to escape and the abrupt silence had only made Li Heng feel that something was wrong, only given him the vague idea of fleeing, then the high platform starting to glow and the system notification suddenly ringing in his ear was the final catalyst that drove him to rip his Teleportation Talisman.

[Ding! Moon Wheel Altar Dungeon discovered!]

[Moon Giant (0/1)]

Hearing the system announce the discovery of a dungeon, there was nothing left to hesitate about. Without a second thought, he crushed the talisman in his left hand.

Maple City Seventh Middle School, in the examination room where Li Heng was assigned.

[Ding! Moon Wheel Altar Dungeon results calculated!]

[Moon Giant (Not Accomplished)]

[Clearance Rating: F]

[Dungeon Rewards: None]

[An A-rank or higher rating is required to unlock this God-tier Dungeon.]

[Consume 300 Soul Energy to enter the Moon Wheel Altar Dungeon?]

Phew~

’Seeing this familiar classroom... it feels so good!’

The moment he returned from the secret realm, Li Heng couldn’t help but take a deep breath, his heart filled with a swirl of emotions.

As for the newly discovered dungeon and his gains from the exam, Li Heng decided not to sort through them for now. It wasn’t the right time, and he wasn’t in the mood.

The secret realm exam was over, but there were still things to handle, like calculating his score.

The instant Li Heng teleported back, medical staff and the exam proctor rushed over and surrounded him.

"Student, do you feel any discomfort? Do you need a full-body examination?"

The medical personnel spoke first. The moment the exam proctor saw Li Heng, he began searching for the corresponding ID documents to verify his identity.

"Thank you, I think I’m fine! But I’d appreciate it if you could give me a quick check-up, just in case."

Although he felt fine, with the medical staff right there, a quick examination was a good way to ensure everything was truly okay.

The Soul Energy Alliance placed great importance on the secret realm college entrance exam. The medical staff assigned to the examination sites were top-notch and highly efficient.

"Nothing serious. Just go home and get some good rest. Make sure to drink plenty of hot water!"

After confirming Li Heng was not in any serious condition, the medical staff member stepped aside, leaving room for the exam proctor.

The proctor held a student ID and a national ID card. He looked at Li Heng and said, "Examinee Li Heng, records show you did not carry any herbs or medicinal materials into the exam. You have concluded your test on the sixth day of the secret realm college entrance exam. We will now proceed to calculate your score!"

After speaking, the proctor gestured for Li Heng to follow him. Li Heng said nothing and simply fell into step behind him.

The place the proctor led him to was simply the classroom next door to the examination room.

Although both were classrooms, this one was arranged differently and had different personnel.

In the middle of this scoring room was a three-meter-long table. Seated behind it were three "teachers"—two men and one woman—all wearing work badges.

In the corner of the room, there were also two cameras.

The proctor handed Li Heng’s IDs to the teacher sitting farthest from the door, then turned and left the room, returning to the examination site.

After the proctor left, the gazes of the three scoring teachers all focused on Li Heng.

Feeling their stares, Li Heng acted graciously, giving the three a bow and offering a greeting. "Hello, teachers."

Hearing Li Heng speak, the sole female teacher narrowed her eyes slightly.

She noted that although Li Heng was covered in bloodstains, his school uniform was intact and he showed no signs of injury. She nodded slightly and then spoke, "You’re full of vitality, and your physical constitution is quite good! I look forward to seeing your score."

The teacher closest to the door spoke after the woman, getting straight to the point. "Examinee Li Heng, please present your proof of score. I am responsible for authenticating scores from Soul Beasts. Please place the cards you obtained during the exam on the table in front of me!"

"Alright, I’ll have to trouble you then, sir." Li Heng slowly walked to the long table and took out his medium-sized Space Stone.

The moment Li Heng took out a medium-sized Space Stone, the three teachers exchanged a look of tacit understanding. After the teacher holding Li Heng’s IDs gave a silent nod, the other two slowly turned their attention back to Li Heng.

However, compared to before, there was now a different glint in their eyes as they stared at him.

Li Heng slowly began to take the Soul Beast Cards he had earned out of his medium-sized Space Stone.

The first Soul Beast Cards Li Heng took out were all from killing Tier One Soul Beasts. He had planned to trade them with Bao Yaoyao for medicinal herbs, so he had kept all these low-point cards at the top.

He had killed quite a few Tier One Soul Beasts and had only traded a few with Bao Yaoyao.

"Black Nest Bee, ten points!"

"Thorny-tailed Monkey, eleven points!"

...

Each time Li Heng presented a Soul Beast Card, this teacher would take it to inspect and confirm it. And each time, only after a faint white light glowed from his hand would he announce the score corresponding to the card.

After this teacher announced the score, the teacher farthest from the door—the one holding Li Heng’s two IDs—would begin to write it down.

As Li Heng continued to produce more and more Soul Beast Cards, the authenticating teacher’s actions didn’t become more perfunctory. Instead, he grew more and more serious, even more careful than before.

His score finally surpassed three hundred and eighty points. As the teacher looked at the latest Soul Beast Card Li Heng had just taken out, the teacher in charge of authentication suddenly stopped him.

His expression was incredibly grave. He looked Li Heng up and down again before slowly asking, "This Soul Beast Card... do you know which Soul Beast it’s from?"

"Seventy-eight points? I think it was... a Heavy-Armored Antelope, right? It tasted pretty good!" Li Heng looked at the 78 points on the card and answered uncertainly.

Hearing Li Heng’s words, the authenticating teacher felt a complex mix of emotions, but he said nothing. He proceeded with the authentication, and as the faint white light flashed, he confirmed that the card Li Heng had handed him was real.

’He handed over a card from a Tier Two Soul Beast!’

’And so far, with just the Soul Beast Cards alone, his score has already surpassed four hundred and fifty points!’

The authenticating teacher seemed to think of something and suddenly said to Li Heng, "Student Li Heng, how many more Soul Beast Cards do you have? Please present them all at once!"

"Oh! Alright!" Li Heng nodded.

’A Tier Two card!’

’Another Tier Two card!’

’And another Tier Two card!’

’A Tier... wait... what’s this...?’

"A Tier Two High-Grade Ice Simurgh Bird?!"

The authenticating teacher was already slightly astonished when Li Heng had produced three Tier Two Soul Beast Cards in a row.

But when his gaze fell upon the final card, the teacher’s voice suddenly shot up, filled with utter shock!

And when they heard the authenticating teacher say the words "Ice Simurgh," the other two teachers also stopped what they were doing and stared intently at Li Heng!

And at the Ice Simurgh Soul Beast Card in Li Heng’s hand, engraved with 218 points!
