Chapter 34: Xiao Ye: No, I Can't Handle It!

The alluring mature Yunbing gazed at Xiao Ye, her lips parted to speak, "Xiao Ye, you..."

"Wait!" Xiao Ye interrupted, raising his hand, "Yunbing Sister, I know you want to recruit us directly into the school, but we want to go through the normal college entrance exam."

The alluring Yunbing was taken aback, puzzled, "Why? It's all about getting into a good college. With special recruitment, you avoid fierce competition. Our Magic City Beastmaster Academy is one of the top ten academies in the nation."

Xiao Ye stood up, exuding an aura, speaking rapidly:

"The college entrance exam is, of course, to get into a good college."

"But! The three of us are taking the exam not just for our scores but for the future of Mangyuan Base City. Each year's exam results determine the quota of advanced resources allocated to Mangyuan Base City by higher base cities!"

"These advanced resources can enhance the combat power of many summoned beasts, potentially turning the tide of battles!"

Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi nodded in agreement, "That's right! We're taking the exam not just for ourselves but for Mangyuan Base City!"

"Exactly, Mangyuan Base City has been last for ten consecutive years; this year, we must aim for second to last!"

The alluring Yunbing's expression froze, a hint of embarrassment on her face.

Indeed, exam results influence the allocation of resources, a rule she had forgotten due to her long tenure at Kunpeng Battle Academy, disconnected from the outside world.

Reminded by Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi, she realized her special recruitment plan could ruin Mangyuan Base City's future.

Yunbing apologized, "I'm sorry!"

"In the past, each pair of contractors had their own space to battle a beast, scoring based on performance."

"The change in the Virtual God Tower exam rule this year is that all candidates from a base city are placed in a large scene to resist a wave of beasts together, with scores based on individual performance."

Xiao Ye and the others understood.

Nangong Siyao cheerfully said, "This rule is perfect for us!"

Xiao Ye agreed, confident in completing the system task if they faced a beast wave together!

The alluring Yunbing sighed, unable to recruit the three through special admissions, she had to find another way to get Xiao Ye to apply to Magic City Beastmaster Academy!

"Alright, today's session ends here. Tomorrow is your exam day, and it will last one day!"

"The exam includes checking summoned beast levels and ranks, and resisting a beast wave in the Virtual God Tower!"

After she finished, everyone dispersed.

The fruit girl Nangong Siyao immediately became excited, her eyes gleaming as she pulled Xiao Ye toward the villa!

Xiao Ye's legs trembled, rooted to the spot, refusing to move! "Siyao! Even an iron bull can't withstand your daily antics, spare me today!"

Nangong Siyao shook her head firmly, "No way!"

Cheng Bingxi, seeing Xiao Ye's distress, felt a bit sorry, "Siyao, let Xiao Ye rest today!"

Xiao Ye pushed Nangong Siyao's hands away, relieved, "Yeah, tomorrow is the exam. You don't want us to perform poorly because we're exhausted, right?"

"If we don't do well, your dad will hang you up and spank you!" Xiao Ye added jokingly.

Nangong Siyao thought about it. Exercising with Xiao Ye made her feel more energized, and her skin looked better the next day.

Puzzled, Nangong Siyao decided to consult mature Yunbing, who, living over a thousand years, should know about such matters!

Nangong Siyao dragged Xiao Ye to ask the alluring Yunbing!

"Yunbing Sister, does exercising really make you tired?"

The alluring Yunbing was stunned, "What?"

Is that a question to ask so casually?

Nangong Siyao, thinking Yunbing hadn't heard, asked again.

Yunbing, embarrassed, stammered, "I-I guess?"

Ahhh! She was frantic inside. How would she know such things? She never experienced it!

Nangong Siyao looked disappointed, feeling a bit regretful, "Yunbing Sister, are you sure? I feel my skin is better the next day!"

Yunbing was startled. Could this really improve skin, providing beauty benefits?

Could it really be like that?

Yunbing felt as if she'd opened a new door to knowledge, gaining a new insight.

No wonder Nangong Siyao kept her up every night! She treated it as a beauty treatment!

Yunbing pinched her dry skin, realizing she'd neglected her skincare routine!

With Yunbing silent, Nangong Siyao left disappointed.

Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted! Who knew how he endured the past two weeks! Too much to handle!

The next morning.

Before heading to Mangyuan High School for the exam, Xiao Ye set a rule for Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi.

"Perform well, and I'll exercise with you, especially you, Nangong Siyao!"

The two girls, somewhat reluctant, agreed to Xiao Ye's suggestion.

Cheng Bingxi was okay, but Nangong Siyao was clearly displeased, her pout could hold a watermelon.

Hmph! Xiao Ye, I'll perform well, and you'll willingly join me! Nangong Siyao was determined to do her best.

With that, the three entered the exam hall.

Mangyuan Base City's Mangyuan Academy was a low-level school, and its large plaza served as the exam site, accommodating about two thousand high school seniors with ample space.

In a classroom at Mangyuan Academy, a middle-aged man in an examiner's uniform respectfully addressed two youthful-looking individuals:

"Young Master Yu, Miss Huo, taking the exam here is usually not allowed, but I've arranged everything. You can take the exam as students of Mangyuan Base City's top high school!"

The one called Young Master Yu, with an arrogant demeanor, scoffed:

"Hmph! A remote base city, if not for the bonus points for being top in each city, I wouldn't come to this backward place!"

Miss Huo, with acne on her face, also sneered, "Exactly! As prodigies of Magic City, S-level beast contractors, coming to Mangyuan Base City is their privilege!"

The middle-aged examiner laughed, "Indeed! Just focus on getting the bonus points. Don't worry about anything else. Even the city lord of Mangyuan Base City must give me face!"

"Even if he knows you're here, he won't dare do anything. A low-level city lord can't report you, I'll handle it!"

"As far as I know, they've been last for ten years straight, and this year will be no exception!"

Young Master Yu and Miss Huo laughed, "Pfft!" "Hahaha! So pathetic?"

"Hahaha! Ten years last? That's hilarious!"

"Make it eleven years last with this year, I'm here for the spectacle, pfft!"
