Lin Cang glanced at Xiao Ju sinisterly, knowing that he had a good relationship with Gu Liyue. They quietly walked to a place farther away from Xiao Ju, paying attention to the teaching situation and continuing to chat.

Instructor Heng looked at the sky and reminded them, "There's only a quarter of an hour left. Those who haven't finished yet should hurry up!"

Gu Liyue didn't dare slack off and ignored her instructor's words. She was only a little short of the mark. Her hands were shaking terribly, and her handwriting was awful.

She was the only one left out of the seventy students in the classroom. She only had one line left to write, and her hand was about to cramp from writing. She gritted her teeth and wanted to finish quickly.

Looking at the students in the classroom, then looking up at the sky, I saw that time was almost up.

Lin Cang glanced around the classroom, his face filled with worry, yet his eyes held a hint of joy. "What's wrong with Gu Liyue? She usually seems to be studying well, but why did she fail so badly during the assessment?"

Someone gloated, "Is he going to fail the first test? That would be hilarious."

"Maybe some people are just good at showing off, and they can't perform well when faced with a test."

Wen Yiru, Xiao Ju, Su He, Xiahou Jingrong and Li Xiuyuan were also nervous for Gu Liyue, and they kept looking into the classroom.

Logically speaking, Gu Liyue shouldn't have finished answering the paper yet, as she usually has the fastest reaction speed.

In the classroom, Instructor Heng watched with great interest as Gu Liyue tried her best to write. He felt amused inside. He didn't expect that the talented Gu Liyue would write like this, as if the brush had a grudge against her.

He looked at the hourglass on the podium. There was only a little sand left on the top. He looked at Gu Liyue again and saw the last grain of sand fall down.

"Time's up, has Gu Liyue finished answering?"

When his voice rang out, Gu Liyue raised her hand. Her hand was shaking violently, like a leaf in a strong wind. She said, "I just finished writing it."

She exhaled, put away the paper, and took it to the podium: "Teacher Heng, this is my paper."

She put the last paper on the top. There was no other way, the ink had not dried yet, so she had to put it on top.

Teacher Heng took a quick glance and his mouth twitched. "This handwriting is too ugly!" He could make out the characters, but that was all he could make out. The strokes looked like those of a caterpillar crawling. The characters were so crooked and twisted that it was almost unbearable to read.

Gu Liyue looked at Teacher Heng's face and glanced at the test paper guiltily.

After handing in the paper, I quickly walked out of the classroom. Wen Yiru, Xiao Ju and others surrounded me, their faces showing obvious worry.

Gu Liyue raised her left hand and waved it. Her right hand was almost unable to lift up. She said, "It's okay. I've finished writing."

Wen Yiru saw that her left hand was still black. Was that ink? She laughed and said, "Gu Liyue, your hands are all covered in ink."

She looked at her right hand, which was still shaking, and said, "Can anyone help me with a cleansing technique?"

Xiao Ju scratched his shaved head doubtfully and asked, "Don't you know how to do it yourself?"

Gu Liyue gritted her teeth and raised her right hand slightly, shaking even more violently.

Wen Yiru asked in surprise: "What happened to your right hand?"

Gu Liyue said: "Writing, calligraphy is too difficult for me."

Xiahou Jingrong said, "I see. I was wondering why you were so slow in writing the paper."

Su He made a hand gesture with both hands and threw it at Gu Liyue's hand, and the ink disappeared immediately.

After finishing the first test, Gu Liyue breathed a sigh of relief. The next part was much easier.

The situation of most students is the opposite of hers. They become nervous when they think that the next item is a practical test.

She quickly pinched her right hand to loosen the tense tendons, so as not to affect the afternoon assessment.

In the afternoon, the second assessment began.

The assessment order and content of Class 1 are as follows:

The first section tests swordsmanship, requiring all students to practice the Qingxuan Sword Technique proficiently.

The second section tests alchemy, and requires students to refine a first-level or second-level elixir.

The third section tests the talisman drawing, and requires students to draw a first-level or second-level talisman.

The fourth section tests formations: setting up a spirit gathering formation and a basic trapping formation.

The fifth section tests the refining equipment: refining a basic alchemy furnace.

The sixth section tests spells: practice the ten basic spells.

The seventh section tests body building: enter the body building secret realm and go through the items inside.

These seven tests were completed within a day and a half, and Gu Liyue passed the first six tests easily.

By the seventh session, Gu Liyue had never experienced this before and found it quite fresh.

The small secret realm for body building is located on the side peak of Tongtian Peak where the dean is located.

Led by two instructors, a class of students came to Tongtian Peak for the first time. Tongtian Peak is located in the middle of the other six peaks of Qingxuan Academy. Although the other six peaks are of different heights and sizes, they seem to be protecting Tongtian Peak, which shows its status.

The students came to the small secret square on the side peak and entered the small secret realm under the spell of their instructor.

Gu Liyue felt unstable on her feet and her mind was pulled. When she stood still, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment.

All I could see was yellow sand, nothing else, and everyone was stunned.

"This...this...is this a desert?"

"That red dot up there is the flag, right? It's too far away to make out its shape."

"Ah, why do I need to train my body after practicing Taoism? It must be so painful."

"Can we skip the test? I can tell it's hard to reach the flag."

She squinted her eyes and looked forward. The farthest thing she could see was a little red. That should be their end point in this scene. There was a triangular red flag there.

I remembered what the instructor told me before opening the small secret realm. Each scene needs to be completed by touching the flag.

The instructor also said that spiritual power cannot be used in the small secret realm, and tasks can only be completed with physical strength.

She sensed the spiritual power and found that she could not feel any spiritual power.

She looked up at the sky again. Was that a simulated sun? It felt incredibly hot! I wondered what kind of magic weapon was used to represent it, but it felt so majestic!

Gu Liyue didn't even bother looking at the scenery. There was nothing interesting to see, so she just set off.

Walking on fine sand is far less easy than walking on flat ground and requires more physical strength.

Gu Liyue estimated the distance and felt that she couldn't be impatient. This scene was probably a test of endurance. It was about who could walk farther, not who could walk faster.

At the beginning, I didn't rush forward like everyone else, but took one step at a time, conserving my energy, keeping my breathing steady, and moving forward at a constant speed.

Lin Cang glanced at her, then turned around and looked at her provocatively again, looking past Gu Liyue.

Gu Liyue saw his look and simply ignored him.

Ignoring him, Xiao Ju saw this scene, waved his right hand in the air, and wanted to curse.

Gu Liyue whispered, "Ignore him. If you walk too fast, he'll know soon."

Several good classmates watched Gu Liyue walking calmly, and followed her pace, step by step.

Seeing that they had walked halfway, everyone was tired, thirsty, and sweating profusely. They couldn't use their spiritual power here, and couldn't get water from their Qiankun bag or storage ring, so they could only endure it.
