After getting a positive score, Jiang He did a few more bonus questions, and the score on the screen now showed 100 points.

Jiang He pressed her temples; having escaped the brink of elimination, she had stopped doing practice problems.

Jiang He took a risky move by hitting rock bottom and then rising again.

If there had been a slight mishap, Jiang He would not be in this examination hall right now.

This cheating incident resulted in fewer people being eliminated from the exam, which in turn shortened the exam time.

The written exam will be over soon. By then, let alone the bonus questions, even slow test-takers will have a hard time finishing all 1,000 questions.

After securing her score, Jiang He took her exam admission ticket and left the classroom.

The scope of written exams extends beyond the classroom, which is why Jiang He discovered the sixth rule.

Many people subconsciously believe that only answering questions in the classroom counts as taking a written exam, but Jiang He thinks otherwise.

After leaving the classroom, she quickly went to the back mountain. Given that the students had such a large area to move around in, Jiang He didn't believe that the Education Bureau was letting them go out to relax.

There is a forest and a hot spring on the back mountain.

Jiang He had previously looked down from the tower and felt that the view was somewhat eerie.

When she revisited the place, she quickly noticed something was amiss.

The landscape on the back mountain seems to have been altered by human intervention. There used to be a tree next to the hot spring, but now the tree is gone, and there is no trace left at the scene.

If Jiang He hadn't repeatedly compared the differences based on her memory, she probably would have overlooked this phenomenon.

Jiang He climbed up a big tree, just about to get a closer look, when a group of people came down below.

"I didn't expect there to be so many hidden test points in this written exam. I wonder how many secrets are hidden in the exam room."

These study guides are clearly designed for the martial arts exam; the Education Bureau is really going all out, investing so many resources.

Why couldn't I help but sigh?

The brocade pouch he just found contained two Foundation Establishment Pills.

This is blatantly a gesture of support and warmth towards the test takers.

"There are many brocade pouches; the two of us can't find many on our own. You should spread the word..."

Bai Zhizhou weighed the brocade pouch in his hand, and before he could finish speaking, he took out several darts from his pocket.

The sharp dart, imbued with a trace of golden spiritual energy, shot through the air and flew straight toward Jiang He.

Jiang He braced herself against the tree trunk with one hand and spun around.

"Shh!"

The dart grazed Jiang He's cheek.

A few strands of black hair fluttered to the ground.

Why be startled by Bai Zhizhou's dart, and then startled again when he saw the living person in the tree? When did someone hide in such a tall tree, and why did he have no idea?

Bai Zhizhou adjusted his glasses:

"Hey, come down."

Jiang He gathered her disheveled hair.

She leaped down from the tree trunk, and it wasn't until she landed that He Bi could clearly see the face of the person in front of her.

One glance is enough to be amazed by her appearance.

"Jiang He?"

No need to be surprised, it turned out that Jiang He was hiding in the tree.

Jiang He was originally only well-known in Class 11.

With her five spiritual roots being considered useless and her status as the daughter of the Jiang family, it would be difficult for her not to become famous.

Ever since Jiang Xi's video of hiring a hitman went viral on Xingwang, Jiang He has become infamous throughout the entire school.

However, it wasn't a good reputation either, and people didn't pay attention to Jiang He's strength.

All they knew was that Jiang He was a good-for-nothing, and Jiang Xi had a good reputation, unlike some netizens who were slightly biased towards Jiang He.

In the eyes of these classmates, Jiang He was weak and ruthless, and the fact that she sent Jiang Xi to prison in one fell swoop made many people extremely dislike her.

In addition, many students in Class 11 ostracized Jiang He, and the students of Beihuai No.1 Middle School heard a lot of things said by some students in Class 11. Coincidentally, Jiang He entered the secret realm and did not come forward to explain during those days, which led to Jiang He's bad reputation.

Although He Bi did not generalize, he also knew that Jiang He had five spiritual roots, which made cultivation difficult and essentially made him no different from a useless person.

The woman in front of them not only dodged Bai Zhizhou's darts but could also easily jump down from the tree.

It seems that rumors aren't always accurate.

Bai Zhizhou adjusted his glasses, and the dart that had fallen to the ground flew up and returned to his hand:

"Oh, it's Jiang He. I'm sorry."

Bai Zhizhou was also somewhat surprised to see Jiang He, but he didn't seem to apologize much. He would have chosen to test anyone who was in the tree.

It just so happens that this person is Jiang He.

Bai Zhizhou smiled warmly:

"I suppose you've already spotted this place after you left the exam hall."

Jiang He nodded:

"I overheard it by accident."

If Jiang He had followed her earlier guess and looked for the differences in the secret pouch inside the examination hall, she could have found it, but now that the information had been delivered directly to her, it saved her a lot of time.

"I know you are also a student at Beihuai No.1 Middle School. Students should help each other. I wonder if you would be willing to help us with this?"

Bai Zhizhou looked directly into Jiang He's eyes. Seeing that she couldn't beat the two of them and couldn't leave either, Jiang He simply agreed.

Bai Zhizhou's plan was simple. It would be difficult for him and He Bi to find the secret package on their own, so they originally planned to spread the news.

Let other candidates buy information with money, so they can also use that money to earn something equivalent to what's in the secret bag.

At the same time, these test takers can be used to eliminate areas where the tips are not available, thus narrowing down the search scope.

However, if Jiang He joins the team, there will be three people. If they find another person, they will have enough manpower for the time being.

Bai Zhizhou didn't want to share information either. Jiang He's appearance filled the gap in manpower. Whether it was a violent conflict during the search for the secret plan or a confrontation with Yunshan's group, they were confident.

When Jiang He learned of Bai Zhizhou's plan, she silently pointed to herself:

"Are you sure? You expect a good-for-nothing like me to buy you time?"

Jiang He was having some existential doubts at this moment. She was quite certain that this was the first time the identity of "Jiang He" had encountered Bai Zhizhou.

Bai Zhizhou nodded:

“A cultivator who knows ancient martial arts is not a useless person.”

Bai Zhizhou laughed.

This time it was Jiang He's turn to be a little surprised. The martial arts that Jiang He learned had almost been lost in this world. All the ancient martial arts on the internet were just for show. She didn't expect that Bai Zhizhou could still recognize martial arts.

Jiang He's gaze fell upon Bai Zhizhou's dart. The dart's shape was similar to that of Chinese darts. At least Bai Zhizhou was the first cultivator Jiang He had seen who was still using Chinese cold weapons.
