Hu Quan was not surprised at all when he heard what these students said. He just leaned into the pavilion and asked, "Who else wants to apply for the assessment?"
"I."
"I."
Another dozen students walked out of the pavilion and stood in front of Hu Quan, including Pei Jun.
Among the hundreds of freshmen, at least half are second-generation cultivators and ordinary people from wealthy families.
The former were taught by relatives and elders, while the latter were sent by their parents at great expense to preparatory classes run by cultivators. They all learned the theory of foundation building in advance, and it was not uncommon for twenty or thirty people to apply for the assessment.
Su Mu also hurried out of the pavilion.
When Hu Quan saw him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The students didn't know how Su Mu performed in the exam, but the teachers knew it very well. This was a genius that all the admissions teachers praised and even fought over!
Although he didn't know where Su Mu learned the foundation-building theory from, Hu Quan still expected Su Mu to bring him surprises.
Pointing to an octagonal pavilion not far away, Hu Quan said to all the students who applied for the test: "Go to that pavilion and wait. The test papers will be sent to you later."
"Yes." Su Mu and others responded and went to the octagonal pavilion.
When we got to the octagonal pavilion, we saw that it was quite large and could easily accommodate more than 20 people. However, it was empty, with no tables or chairs. How could we take the exam? Were we going to put them in a virtual exam space, just like the subject-based exams?
As everyone was discussing, they saw vines running into the pavilion, crisscrossing to form a vine floor. Soon, flowers bloomed and turned into tables and chairs. They looked the same style as the tables and chairs in the Guanwu Pavilion. It was estimated that the tables and chairs there came from the same way.
"What are you waiting for? Find a seat by yourself." Hu Quan's voice rang out.
Although it was several dozen meters away, it was clear as if someone was speaking into my ear.
The students hurried in and after sitting down, they found that each table was very close to each other. They didn't need to make any big movements. They could see clearly the situation on the tables on the left and right with just a glance.
This made them very puzzled.
Isn't Mr. Hu afraid that someone might sneak a peek at the test paper of the person next to him during the exam? Or does he have other ways to prevent cheating?
Just as I was thinking about it, test papers floated up from the desk that was transformed from flowers.
Looking at the test papers on the desks of the people on the left and right, they were covered with a thick layer of mosaics.
Is this Mr. Hu's way of preventing cheating? I didn't expect he was a cavalryman... A certain TV station should really learn from him.
Hu Quan's voice sounded again: "You can start writing now. The exam time is two hours. If you want to hand in the paper early, just place the paper flat in the middle of the desk and tap the desk three times. You can do other things after handing in the paper, but you cannot make any noise and walk around at will. During the exam, whispering and passing answers are prohibited. Those who violate this will be expelled from the examination room, their scores will be invalidated, and they will be punished to do hard work in the Baicao Garden or the Wanshou Field for several days. Those with serious violations will be expelled directly..."
After listening to the examination room rules, everyone started answering questions.
Su Mu's grasp of the foundation-building theory was already perfect. He could answer the multiple-choice questions at the beginning, whether they were single-choice or multiple-choice, with just a glance, and he was very fast. It was not until the essay questions at the end that he was a little slower.
Pei Jun also did it very quickly.
Born into a family of cultivators, he had been exposed to cultivation knowledge since childhood, and had a firm grasp of various basic theories. In a little over an hour, he finished all the questions on the test paper. After checking to make sure there were no problems, he followed Hu Quan's method, spread the test paper flat in the middle of the desk, and tapped the desk three times with his hand.
The desk suddenly turned back into a flower, its petals closed, swallowed the test paper, and then turned back into the shape of a desk.
Pei Jun put down his pen, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his gaze to Su Mu who was sitting on his right.
But it turned out that there was no mosaic on Su Mu's desk, and he was reading a book.
Obviously, Su Mu also handed in his paper early, even earlier than him.
"I've been beaten by him again." Pei Jun sighed in his heart.
In the previous subject examinations, many candidates thought that he had performed the best, but he knew very well that Su Mu, who was kept behind by the teachers and brought into Shangqing Palace, was the one who had performed the best.
Although he was not jealous of Su Mu and they had become friends, when he saw Su Mu also applied for the assessment today, he couldn't help but want to compete with him.
Although he could not compare with Su Mu in learning magic, he was very confident in his mastery of foundation-building theory and felt that he could surpass Su Mu.
Pei Jun thought he had answered the questions fast enough, but he didn't expect Su Mu to be even faster. But he quickly adjusted his mindset and thought to himself, "It doesn't matter if I hand in the paper a few minutes earlier or later, the key is the result."
At the same time, inside the Guanwu Pavilion.
Hu Quan, who was giving a lecture, suddenly received a message from Man Teng in the octagonal pavilion, saying that someone had handed in the paper.
"So fast? Is it Su Mu? Or someone else?"
Hu Quan's mind moved, and he raised his hand, and two test papers appeared out of thin air in his hands.
"Two?"
He glanced at the names on the test paper, and one of them was indeed Su Mu, and the other was Pei Jun.
"The genius of the Pei family? No wonder." Hu Quan muttered, actually dividing his mind among two things, explaining the contents of the introduction in the textbook to the students in Guanwu Pavilion while correcting the test papers.
He marked Su Mu's paper first.
I took a quick glance at the multiple-choice questions and knew they were all correct. There was nothing to look at, so I just turned to the back to look at the short-answer and essay questions.
The short answers were all correct, and they were all from the textbook, nothing new. But after reading the essay questions, Hu Quan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but read them over and over again. The more he read them, the better they seemed.
The arguments are powerful, the ideas are clear, the logic is solid... and most importantly, it is very innovative and profound!
As a teacher of foundation-building theory and also a member of the foundation-building research group, Hu Quan cannot say that his grasp of foundation-building theory is perfect, but he believes that he has mastered it about 80% to 90%.
But after reading Su Mu's answers, he felt that he had learned something and realized some truths. And he was sure that if he were to do these questions, he would not be able to answer them as well as Su Mu.
It is no exaggeration to say that the answer given by Su Mu is perfect.
That’s amazing!
If he wasn't in class, he would have wanted to go over and have a good talk with Su Mu.
There is no doubt that this test paper will definitely get full marks. Even giving full marks makes me feel a little indebted to Su Mu.
Hu Quan breathed a sigh of relief and felt very happy.
The feeling of reading a good article is like drinking a big bottle of ice-cold Kuolu in the dog days of summer, feeling refreshed from the inside out.
But soon, he reluctantly put Su Mu's test paper aside.
Can't watch it anymore.
Those essay questions were simply poisonous. After reading them, he couldn't help but think, ponder, and study them. Then he would get so absorbed in them that he would forget everything around him. Even if he had the ability to split his attention, it would be ineffective, causing the class to be interrupted...
In order not to affect the class, he could only put Su Mu's paper aside.
