"I'll do it!"

The exam atmosphere passed second by second. As time went by, many people took the exam together. Some people were very confident and only failed a few times before successfully casting the most basic intermediate spell. Although it was not a group spell, but a single-target healing spell, they were still quite capable.

Once the first person passed, a second one followed. But then a new problem arose: this time, an old man passed the test and successfully cast a group spell. However, he was far too old to fight against the alien spirits.

Although Shen Jue knew it was wrong to judge people by their appearance, she still gave the seemingly elderly man a mid-level magic staff in order to gain the respect of others. This staff was even half a meter taller than him.

Now, there are ten staffs left, and the exam is almost over. At that time, ten outstanding people will be selected from these people to send out the staffs.

After the last staff was given out, Mu Xingran went on stage and said, "Now that everyone has learned intermediate magic, let's focus on actual combat and have a battle with the alien spirits."

Mu Xingran's words left the creatures present, who had just learned intermediate magic, quite astonished.

They've only just learned it, and you're already sending them to fight otherworldly spirits? Isn't that a bit too fast?

They haven't gone back to teach their own younger generation yet.

Mu Xingran observed everyone's reactions: "Now it's not that we're going to fight the alien spirits, but that the alien spirits have already surrounded Starfish Island. It's us who have to fight them."

They were completely unaware that the alien spirits had already surrounded Starfish Island.

"Moreover, there is a traitor among us. Before we start the war against the aliens, all of you must stay here and not go anywhere. We will fight the aliens who are lying in ambush with us after we find the traitor."

There was a traitor among them, and suspicions arose among the various tribes as they all wondered who the betrayer was.

"You Spirit Race wouldn't happen to be the Spirit Race, would you? Your race has always been cunning and you're never enthusiastic about anything else. You're so eager to learn magic this time. You must be up to something."

"Old fool, although we Spirit Clan are usually lazy and unmotivated, that's only because our living environment is comfortable enough. Now that we're in danger, we definitely need to learn more ways to survive and fight against the alien spirits. How can we live a leisurely life if we don't fight?"

"? If you could find out that, something would be wrong. Do you think they would blatantly write 'I'm a traitor' on their face?"

"Let's put aside our personal grudges and list out all the people we've encountered and all the suspicious events that have happened during our studies on the island these past few days."

"That's a good idea, let's have a showdown right there in court!"

"Stop, stop messing around. You can't expect the traitor to admit his identity by just listing a few pieces of evidence."

"Logically speaking, the traitor also learned magic, and might even be the one among us who learned magic the fastest. Why don't we start the investigation from among those who learned magic the fastest?"

"Are you crazy? If you ask me, the person who learns magic the fastest among us is none other than Lord Mu Xingran's junior sister, Shen Jue!"

"Lord Mu Xingran trusts her so much, if she were a traitor, wouldn't we be in complete chaos? Your guess is way too far off!"

The crowd below chattered and discussed for a long time, but they still couldn't figure out who the real traitor was.

"How about we try all of the above methods? First, we'll have an anonymous vote, and then everyone can tell us about some strange things that have happened recently, the more detailed the better."

"Including those who have recently been learning magic and are learning very quickly, we also need to register them on the list and check them one by one."

This is a bit troublesome, but it's the only way to find the traitor right now.

Those who remained at the scene began to make anonymous reports, and after some back and forth, two hours had passed.

Before announcing the names of those who made the reports, people from all ethnic groups were allowed to speak.

"It must be the sea anemone clan. They have a very low profile from beginning to end. If I were a traitor, I would definitely hide myself."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I hid quietly and didn't dare to move at all. How can I be slandered for this? I'm really innocent, sir!" A tiny five-pointed anemone weakly spoke up.

This was because he was forced into a corner. If the sea anemone didn't speak up now, it would be even more difficult to say anything later when things got tense. His clan was timid and valued their lives. He had only come to learn a few spells, but suddenly such a huge burden was being placed on his head. He couldn't bear it, he really couldn't bear it.

"Could it be the Barbara clan? They're the fastest learners of magic among us!"

"You're really boring. You suspect everyone but the people in your own clan."

"That's because our clan is honest and upright, and there's absolutely no possibility of a traitor among us. That's why I dare to suspect others!"

The arguments on the field were coming one after another, more chaotic than the arguing of the old ladies at the vegetable market.

Shen Jue thought that if she were the traitor, she would probably faint with joy at seeing her opponent so stupid.

"Make way! Make way! The Xiling Clan member has suddenly fainted. Give her some space so she can recover."

Shen Jue was speechless. She had only thought about it for a moment, but someone actually fainted on the spot. Sigh, this was even more chaotic than a complete mess.

However, this person should be marked carefully; we can't let her leave.

"Didn't you just learn healing magic? Cast a healing spell on her, and give her some space to wake up on her own. We absolutely cannot let her leave here." Without Shen Jue's reminder, everyone present naturally maintained this situation of not letting anyone leave.

The current situation is truly a mix of discussion and neutrality, with some people of unclear intentions trying to fish in troubled waters and showing strong tendencies towards betrayal. However, given how obviously they are behaving, they seem more like the betrayed than the betrayers, stirring up trouble, hence their overt behavior.

Meanwhile, the traitor hidden among the crowd had already passed the message to the high-level aliens, who were still on their way to the sea world. However, since they had learned magic from the sea creatures and wanted to wage war against them, the high-level aliens had to make several plans. They passed the message to the mid-level aliens surrounding Starfish Island.

After a brief discussion, it was decided that half of them would be withdrawn, while the other half would continue the siege. If the situation became unfavorable, they would all retreat.

Meanwhile, Shen Jue, who was investigating the traitor, received a signal from the sensor device he had placed in the sea. The alien race had begun a large-scale retreat, which meant that the traitor had sent the message out in front of them, and they still hadn't caught him.

That's interesting, really interesting.

This traitor is really well hidden; he won't be caught anytime soon.

Since we can't catch them, we can use this traitor to send false messages to the alien spirits.

"Since you all can't find the traitor after all this discussion, then let's stop looking. Let's go and beat up the alien spirits surrounding Starfish Island first. You've all learned intermediate magic, don't you want to avenge your people?" Shen Jue coaxed patiently.

After the previous instruction, these creatures were obedient to Shen Jue, and they were even eager to use their newly learned magic to fight against the alien spirits.
