Chapter 87 Slay! Exam King!

Chapter 87 Slay! Exam King! (5.2k)

"Fang Xiaoxia, you're ruining my plans again!"

When the faceless man finally saw who it was, he roared angrily. The sound waves made the water stains on the white porcelain floor of the toilet tremble and vibrate, making people's ears ring.

"If you dare to come, don't go back."

"This time, I'll imprison you, turning you into a caged bird, so you can never ruin my plans again!"

Sure enough, the monster also called Fang Xiaoyan Fang Xiaoxia.

Beside him, Bai Zhou's gaze was subtly and intentionally observing Fang Xiaoyan, looking thoughtfully at that familiar yet unfamiliar young face.

Xiaoyan and Xiaoxia, I can't tell them apart.

Is it really that little fire dragon that breathes out?

Right now, Bai Zhou really wished he knew a teleportation technique so he could teleport to Fang Xiaoxia's house and see if the Fang Xiaoxia he knew was still there...

"Exam King, you've gotten even stronger again—"

At this moment, Fang Xiaoyan's expression was tense and serious:
"But this time, no matter what, I will not let you run wild again!"

Watching the exam king grow stronger step by step, she, standing on the opposite side, grew weaker and weaker.

Now, Fang Xiaoyan is completely unable to fight her opponent.

The matter must be resolved, otherwise Yuanmeng Middle School will truly become a hellish playground dominated by the King of Exams.

Fortunately, she didn't come alone this time...

At this moment, the faceless man also turned his wary gaze to Bai Zhou.

"Who does this kid next to you think he is?"

"A teacher? When did Tinghai Middle School get such a young teacher?"

Just like students facing final exams, the exam king outwardly says with a dismissive attitude, "I didn't study," but his actual actions are full of vigilance and tension.

It scrutinized Bai Zhou's name tag, analyzing and dissecting every detail of the man's movements as if solving a problem.

The man who threw the bench leg in must be this seemingly ordinary yet mysterious man.

Just the fact that he dared to say those "crazy" things after seeing his own appearance...

I knew he was no ordinary person and that he had ill intentions!
“Teacher, you…”

Fang Xiaoyan turned to look at Bai Zhou. Not knowing anything about Bai Zhou's background, she was both worried and nervous, wondering if there was anything she hadn't explained clearly on the way here.

But Bai Zhou ignored what the other person was babbling about, simply stepped forward, and pointed to the name tag on his chest:
"Disrespectful remarks to the teacher will result in a deduction of two points."

"Consider suspending him from classes and recording a demerit in his student file!"

"—It all ends here."

To deal with characters like the Exam King...

The students are afraid, but he's a teacher, so what is there for him to be afraid of?
"Not even teachers!"

Like a bristling feather, the King of Exams began to swell, and ugly wrinkles appeared on the faceless man's blank face:

"No one can stop me!"

"Otherwise, it would affect Tinghai Middle School's 100% rate of students getting into key universities—"

"Who among you can take responsibility?"

The roar grew louder and louder, like a howling gale.

It was accompanied by a thunderous explosion.

"what!!!"

Jia Tingting let out an incredulous scream—

Because in front of her, the Faceless Man's body was torn apart.

A monster emerged from it.

A mummy monster, its entire body covered and entangled with test papers filled with exercises, appeared before Bai Zhou and Fang Xiaoyan.

The crumpled test papers, yellowed and blackened, covered with countless wrong answers repeatedly corrected in red pen, together formed the shroud of this monster.

It was enormous, standing over two meters tall, and its head reached the ceiling in the blink of an eye.

But it was bent over, as if carrying a heavy schoolbag.

One hand is shaped like a ruler, sharp as a knife, while the other hand is simply a giant compass, sharp as a spear.

Its facial features are even more bizarre, resembling a three-dimensional triangle with one eye marked "×", one eye marked "√", and its mouth marked "o".

—The enormous and deformed monster is the true form of the "Exam King".

With a stench of fermented odors—a mixture of sweat, foot odor, and other foul smells—a fierce battle was inevitable.

"No wonder Tinghai Middle School has a 100% rate of students getting into top universities..."

Bai Zhou blinked, covered his mouth and nose, and said in disgust:
"With this thing guarding it, those who drag the team down will probably all be eaten by it."

"call--"

A strong wind swept through.

Jia Tingting was so frightened she almost fainted.

But the monster walked straight past her stunned, slumped figure and strode towards the white boat, its oppressive shadow filling the sky and earth.

"This child is just too lazy, that's why her grades have fallen so far. She even feels she doesn't deserve to live, and you unrelated outsiders—"

"And why should I have a problem with that!"

The sound vibrated my eardrums, making them buzz.

"Study? Study my ass!"

Bai Zhou spat, and the purple-gold saber spun into his palm as he cursed under his breath:

"Who hasn't studied hard? I used to be number one in getting the little red flower every year!"

"But what's the result?"

"As it turns out, life is not just about studying in front of you, but also about whether you have parents in black robes behind you!"

"If you can't arrange a job for someone in the future, don't rush them and make empty promises!"

Fang Xiaoyan: "?"

Jia Tingting: "?"

The monster that the Exam King turned into: "?"

What on earth is this guy talking about?

...It was quite poignant, and Bai Zhou thought of Li Wang again.

The spiritual infusion caused a purple-gold light to ripple through my hand.

The buzzing sound seemed to tear the air apart.

Bai Zhou quietly began to gather his strength, but on the surface he was still talking, which made the "Exam King" look somewhat confused.

On that triangular face, a question mark was almost appearing between the checkmark and the cross.

“Studying is important, but a monster like you who only cares about studying to the point of forcing others to die…”

"They're the ones who truly deserve to die!"

Draw the knife and bend over.

"—What era are we living in? Still going it alone? In the Federation, getting by is no longer just about studying."

Bend your knees and gather your strength.

Bai Zhou finally whispered:
"Like right now, your biggest surprise and failure actually lies in—"

"Behind Fang Xiaoyan, there is me."

The moment the words fell.

With a loud bang, Bai Zhou's figure disappeared from the spot.

Waiting for the monster to slowly approach is not Bai Zhou's style.

Strike first to gain the upper hand—this was an important lesson that the chubby white man deep within the Void Realm taught Bai Zhou!

"Danglang——"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Bai Zhou, who appeared as swiftly as a ghost, engaged in a fierce battle with the Exam King, who was caught off guard and raised his hand to defend.

Clothes fluttered, and the figures fighting together created chaos in the surrounding air, sending pebbles flying.

The battle between humans and monsters, the tiny figures showing no weakness in the face of the enormous deformities, is like an ancient epic etched in a mural.

As soon as the Exam King moved slightly, a rustling sound like thousands of sheets of paper rubbing together emanated from his body. Amidst the whistling wind, there were other noises, like the suppressed sobs of Jia Tingting and her classmates in the dead of night.

These things could disturb anyone's mind, but Bai Zhou's expression remained unchanged. He swung his saber like a crescent moon across the sky, the whistling sound of the blade tearing everything apart.

"Monsters... two monsters!"

Jia Tingting was almost stunned, unable to imagine that the one fiercely battling this huge, ferocious monster was someone from her own school...

teacher?!
Where did this PE teacher come from? She's been at Yuanmeng Middle School for so long, and no one has ever taught her this!
The scene, completely beyond common sense, almost made her brain burn out.

Driven by the instinct for survival, she mustered her last bit of strength and crawled out of the dense black patterns beneath her feet. Hugging her legs, she huddled in a corner of the toilet, trembling, desperately trying to crawl behind her, as if she wanted to punch a hole in the wall behind her.

"Teacher! You must be careful!"

Fang Xiaoyan was also dazzled by what she saw, but she didn't forget to remind Bai Zhou:

"The Exam King has already devoured six failing students."

"Once it finishes eating this last one and completes its final transformation, it will be comparable to a Level 4 Extraordinary Being!"

It turned out to be close to level 4.

Bai Zhou's expression remained unchanged, but in his heart he felt...

This intensity is just right!
If it really is a Level 4 Extraordinary, Bai Zhou would have a real hard time defeating him.

However, this level 3 extraordinary being, who is close to level 4, is precisely the best touchstone for Bai Zhou to test his own strength.

After all, although Bai Zhou was only level 2, he was not an extraordinary being.

Rather, they are "those destined by Heaven".

Moreover, he possessed extraordinary equipment that even the most skilled examinee hadn't passed—

Three spiritual essences were infused into it.

Go full speed ahead!

"Buzz!"

The chainsaw whirled wildly, and the purple-gold saber seemed to be awakened, its blade energy surging accordingly.

A slash comparable to the unleashing of a secret technique, angled diagonally downwards to the right, aimed fiercely at the King of Exams' head.

The exam king blocked with his right arm, his sharp compass held horizontally in front of the saber.

"Om-"

The purple-gold light, like the glowing horizon at dawn, flashed across the sky.

With a "bang," the tip of the compass was cut off, and the smooth cross-section told the story of what had just happened.

"Ouch—what kind of knife is this! What kind of knife is this?!"

The country bumpkin, who had never seen any extraordinary weapon before, suffered greatly at the hands of the white boat. Looking at the fallen compass tip, it howled in agony:
"My compass head! My compass head!"

"...I told you so."

As his fingertips traced the blade, Teacher Bai Zhou spoke earnestly:

"When you're out in the game, you can't rely on hard work and going it alone."

"—Financial resources are also essential; if you don't have them, others will."

"..."

This was the first time Fang Xiaoyan had ever seen the exam king suffer such an easy defeat. She was dumbfounded and felt that the value of her lifelong nemesis was steadily declining.

"I understand!"

At this moment, the "√" and "×" on the exam king's triangular head simultaneously changed to "!".

It seemed to suddenly realize something, and whispered angrily:

"The extracurricular stories in the textbooks say that when the Buddha attained enlightenment, eight billion demons, Mara's three daughters, and the three thousand great chiliocosms were shaken in six ways, and the demon Mara came to block his way."

"Now I am facing my final transformation, and you are my obstacles, the final test that fate has given me!"

"Once I defeat you... I will soar to the heavens!"

"Give me a break." Bai Zhou rolled his eyes at his words.

He had heard similar stories before.

However, in the Black Robe textbook version from Night City, the Black Robe Elder points out a puzzling detail in the annotations:
If such a commotion had really occurred, how come no one except the Buddha himself knew about it?
The Buddha said that this is because everything happens "between His thoughts".

But in Bai Zhou's view...

"Exam King, stop daydreaming."

I feel like another student has gone crazy from studying.

Bai Zhou glanced at the Exam King with a mixture of pity and disgust, and felt that it was time for all of this to end.

"You really don't need to put that kind of pressure on yourself."

However, the instant Bai Zhou finished speaking... another unexpected event occurred!
"Marshal of Wrong Answers! General Under Pressure! Prime Minister of Guilt! Grand Tutor of Inspirational Quotes! Governor-General of Procrastination! Lazy Censor!"

Exam King glared at Bai Zhou, this "obstructing demon," with a deep-seated hatred, raised his arms, and roared angrily.

"—Come forth, my Seven Heroes of the King!"

The words haven't finished yet.

All sorts of demons and monsters appeared behind the King of Exams.

Six grotesque heads, trailing eerie green flames, slowly circled around this enormous, deformed monster.

No wonder the exam king is only one Jia Tingting away from transforming into Level 4.

Because of its so-called Seven Heroes of the King, only one more is needed to complete the collection!
At Yuanmeng Middle School, Fang Xiaoyan has always faced challenges that are far more complex than simply being a top student...

"..."

However, Fang Xiaoyan felt no disgust when she saw these demons and monsters. Instead, her expression was complicated, and her flickering eyes were filled with sadness and guilt.

Bai Zhou also widened his eyes.

Because he clearly saw that on the heads of these demons and monsters, there were identical last words—

I don't deserve to live.

No, I don't want to die!

[Save...save...me...]

Each ghost's last words were almost identical, and they were exactly the same as the last words Bai Zhou had seen on the floor next to them!
This means that they are the ghosts of deceased students imprisoned by the King of Exams...

Amidst the Exam King's eerie laughter, the ghosts unleashed a barrage of attacks at the white boat—

"Take this 'feeling guilty' punch!"

"Let's have another dose of inspirational nostalgia!"

"Pressure coverage! Laziness pull!"

A series of illusory memories and emotions assaulted Bai Zhou.

Generally speaking, anyone who has gone to school will experience pain and break down on their own.

But Shirazuki is not exactly "ordinary".

His expression remained unchanged; he simply raised his knife.

His heart was as hard as iron, like that of an illiterate man.

He seemed completely unaware of the students' suffering, not because Bai Zhou hadn't suffered because of it.

Instead, it was the black-robed youth training group, whose training was far more painful and torturous than the courses at Dream Middle School.

Rolling around in the mud until covered in mud, fighting until covered in bruises, and the strict discipline of jumping through fire hoops and not being allowed to eat unless they recited their lessons...

No one understands hardship better than Bai Zhou!
"How is that possible! How could you not be affected!"

Something incomprehensible happened, causing the King of Exams' eyes to simultaneously change into a bewildered "?".

But the question mark quickly turned into an exclamation mark.

The exam king also has a special skill:
"come out!"

With a wave of its hand, it summoned vengeful spirits, and the ultimate secret technique, which combined the characteristics of the six vengeful spirits, was brewing in its palm.

As soon as it appeared, the wails of wronged souls filled the air, and a chilling black wind howled in the small toilet.

"Mom's lectures—"

A huge, motherly, blurry figure slowly appeared behind the Exam King, forming a stark contrast to the deformed, hunchbacked monster's body.

Those who master this secret technique will have an image of a "lecturing mother" and a faceless "other people's child" appear in their minds.

A lecturing mother can have a lasting negative impact on those who contract the disease.

But other people's children are perfect, and they are better than me in everything.

You must defeat this "other people's child" in the illusion to break the secret technique.

It's an extremely tricky technique, practically unsolvable.

Because the person you actually need to fight is your ideal, perfect self...

This is the greatest source of confidence and arrogance that allows the King of Exams to be so brazen in the face of any extraordinary individual.

"call--"

...But Bai Zhou was blown by the black wind formed by the secret technique, yet he seemed completely unaffected.

His expression remained unchanged, and he even blinked with a slightly bewildered look in his eyes.

Exam King looked bewildered: "?"

Bai Zhou also asked in confusion, "What is this?"

They came on strong, but what's the point of all this?

—Oh, because he doesn't have a mother.

Since I've never heard of any "other people's children" legends, I don't need to defeat this inner demon that never existed.

Bai Zhou, who has been an orphan since childhood, is virtually flawless in this aspect; he is terrifyingly strong!
Now, the exam king was completely panicked.

The completely unknown situation made the exam king suspect that he had encountered aliens.

He then realized that although he appeared ordinary while wearing human skin...

But compared to himself, who was covered in deformities, Bai Zhou was the incomprehensible "monster"!
—He doesn't seem like a human raised in the Federation at all!

"Five years of middle school entrance exams, three years of mock exams!"

Having exhausted all other options, an endless sea of questions spewed out from the palm of the Exam King, transforming into a barrage of questions that overwhelmed the white boat.

The ghosts tirelessly spewed out attacks carrying their own unique characteristics, trying to stop the white boat from getting closer.

But Bai Zhou no longer wanted to continue the argument.

Because in his line of sight, there were the last words on the floor and the last words hanging above the ghost's head...

They were shining brightly at the same time, echoing each other, as if they were telling Bai Zhou something.

"Ok, I know."

"Boom, boom, boom, boom -"

As he slashed at the barrage of bullets with his sword, creating an impenetrable barrier like a sword umbrella, Bai Zhou silently responded in his heart.
"You pray..."

"I got it!"

The next moment——

The white boat illuminated the characters in the sea of ignorance.

First, [soothe].

Then comes [light].

—This was a small attempt by Bai Zhou after he saw the six wronged souls, which came to him on a sudden inspiration.

First, an invisible force of comfort permeated the space of destiny analysis.

Subsequently, the light emanating from the depths of destiny, emanating from within, also brought out these comforting powers.

"Om-"

Centered on the white boat, a sudden burst of light shone forth.

Everyone present involuntarily closed their eyes.

This includes the exam king who yelled and thought he was blind.
