Chapter 38: Narrowing the Margin

Nangong Xiaoyu's test score this time was very good, and he scored another nine points.

According to Ji Mo's original estimate, his fiancée could only get seven points at most in this test, but she scored nine points.

Ji Mo also knew the reason-

Those teachers who arranged the wooden stakes, before Nangong Xiaoyu started the test, seemed to have unintentionally but obviously placed the thirty wooden stakes in a regular manner, which was easy to remember.

Everyone can see this, but none of the teachers and students have raised the slightest objection to it.

Beautiful women tend to receive special care, especially Bai Fumei.

Moreover, everyone knows that Nangong Xiaoyu has a gambling contract with Ji Mo, and they would like to see Nangong Xiaoyu win the gambling game and become the top of the semi-annual exam for freshmen.

Since they will take care of Nangong Xiaoyu, they will definitely take special care of Ji Mo.

Ji Mo was prepared for this, in fact, he had already been "taken care of" in the previous speed measurement project.

When it was Ji Mo's turn, the sun had set, and the sky was gradually darkening.

As usual, after the inspectors moved all the wooden stakes, Ji Mo first walked on the 100-meter track, noted the position and height of all the wooden stakes, and then returned to the starting place and obeyed the order.

This time, he heard the starting order.

Sou!

Like a gust of wind, he hurried forward, tiptoe on the stakes.

In the first half, he had less than six seconds.

Looking at his speed and the accuracy with which he stepped on the stakes, he had a great tendency to score a perfect score this time and set a new record for the freshmen of the Ancient Martial Arts Academy in this event.

But in the second half of the journey, the accident still appeared unexpectedly-

When Ji Mo was about to step on the twentieth wooden stake, a strong wind that came out of nowhere pushed the wooden stake half a meter away.

Ji Mo didn't step on the air, nor did he fall, his other foot suddenly exerted force, causing his whole body to rush forward a few meters and land on the next stake.

However, such an accident occurred several times in a row, and the sudden strong wind would not only push the stake, but sometimes also push his body.

This is already a blatant violation of the rules, deliberately making Ji Mo's test more difficult...... They dared to do this, and they also reached a tacit understanding, knowing that no one would come to investigate this matter.

But Ji Mo still finished the test, he didn't fall, just stepped on a few stakes less, and the speed was not slow.

It was surprising that he was blindfolded and still had such a responsive reaction.

He took 12 seconds to pass on 24 stakes, which earned him eight points, but all the proctors only gave him seven points after deliberation.

As a result, the gap between Nangong Xiaoyu and his total score narrowed by two points.

By the end of this test, plus the score of the written test, Ji Mo got seventy-seven points, while Nangong Xiaoyu got sixty-six points, and there was still an eleven point gap between the two.

But there is only one last item left in the martial arts test.

The last item has a total of 20 points, as long as Ji Mo gets 10 points, even if Nangong Xiaoyu gets a full score, he can't catch up, let alone surpass it.

However, there are many uncertainties in the last project, and how many points can be scored depends on the face of the inspector.

At this moment, the sky was already dark, and the lights around this martial arts arena were lit up, making the entire martial arts arena as bright as day.

The last test item of the martial arts test is to dodge attacks and attack targets, which is a combat test to put it bluntly.

Every freshman student has to fight in the ring with a teacher in the late stage of the Qi Cultivation Realm, and he must avoid the teacher's attack as much as possible, and he must also fall on the teacher as much as possible.

Everyone only had one minute, and after a minute, there were judges and teachers in the audience to score.

There are four rings, and you can test four freshmen at the same time.

After waiting for 20 minutes, it was the turn of the new students of the third class of the first grade to come to the stage in batches.

Most of the students in the first two classes only scored eight or nine points in this test, and the strongest one only scored twelve points.

Yang Zilu, Zheng Hao, and Bai Xuan all scored ten points, and their results were not bad.

Nangong Xiaoyu still performed extremely well, she got eighteen points, so her total score came out-

Eighty-four points!

In the semi-annual examination of previous freshmen, there are very few people who can pass 80 points.

However, in the last test of this martial arts test, both her opponent and the four judges took good care of her, otherwise she would not have been able to get such a high score in this project.

At present, Ji Mo, who already has seventy-seven points, only needs to get eight points in this project to win the first place in this semi-annual exam.

Based on his impressive performances so far, it should have been easy to score eight points in this round, but everyone, including himself, knows that it will not be easy for him to get eight points.

Ji Mo knew very well that his performance had to make the judges embarrassed to give a low score at all.

Soon after Nangong Xiaoyu's test ended, it was Ji Mo's turn to take the stage, and his opponent was not Li Dalong, but a male teacher in the second class.

Although Li Dalong is also a late stage cultivator in the Qi Cultivation Realm, he is also the teacher of the third class of the first grade, and the test opponent of any of the students in the third class cannot be him.

While!

A bell rang and the test officially began.

Call!

The opponent rushed over from the corner of the ring in an instant, and slapped Ji Mo's shoulder with a palm.

Ji Mo was not slow to react, he dodged this palm on the side of his body, and then flashed to the side.

This ring is only ten meters long and wide, and the opponent is a late-stage cultivator of the Qi Cultivation Realm, if the opponent attacks with all his might, it will be difficult for any freshman student to parry, and he will even be knocked down to the stage with one move.

Fortunately, the college has a rule on this, and the teacher on the stage is not allowed to knock the candidate down the stage, nor can he injure the candidate.

Candidates must also stay in the ring for a full minute, even if they are lying on the ground.

The teacher was still a little surprised by Ji Mo's reaction speed, but thinking of Ji Mo's previous performance, he was only distracted for a moment before attacking again.

According to the regulations, every time you are hit by the teacher, you will have to deduct 0.5 points.

However, if you can hit the teacher once, you will also get a point.

Generally speaking, teachers will be merciful and will not let new students get zero points.

And in a minute, it is not easy to hit a student forty times and not be hit by a student in order for a student to score zero points, because every time a student is hit, the teacher has to retreat far enough to attack again.

Judging from the teacher's first shot, he obviously didn't want Ji Mo to get a high score, and he didn't want Ji Mo to win Nangong Xiaoyu under his hands.

It's a pity that he only cultivated in the late stage of the Qi Cultivation Realm, and he didn't reach the Innate Realm, so he didn't cultivate his divine sense.
