"Next, Mo Fan." The examiner called out Mo Fan's name just as the assessment was about to end.
After hearing the examiner call out Mo Fan's name, Mu Bai walked up to Mu He and whispered something to him. No one knew what Mu Bai and Mu He were talking about.
After the two parted ways, Mu He gave a wink to the bald examiner on the platform. The bald examiner immediately understood Mu He's meaning and secretly placed a black stone under the Star Sensing Stone.
The bald examiner was unaware that Jiang Han had seen his every move. Having read the original novel thoroughly, Jiang Han knew what the bald man was holding.
That's a dark stone, capable of devouring magical energy and dimming the light of the star-sensing stone when it emits its radiance.
Just as Mo Fan was about to walk towards the platform, Jiang Han stopped him. Mo Fan was a little confused as to why Jiang Han would stop him.
"Mo Fan, how about I go up there first and show off a bit, make a name for myself in front of Mu Ningxue?" Jiang Han said with a grin.
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, jumping up and down and shouting, "Damn it, Jiang Han, what are you trying to do? Having Xin Xia isn't enough, you want to steal Mu Ningxue from me too?"
"No, no, no, do I look like that kind of person?"
"It's not that you resemble them, you are that kind of person."
"Um, okay, to tell you the truth, Mu He just had that bald guy on stage leave you a little gift. If you're unlucky, your grade will be below D, and you'll be expelled from school." Jiang Han thought for a moment and told a white lie.
As the saying goes, a beautiful woman is the object of a gentleman's affections. Who wouldn't like a beauty like Mu Ningxue?
Mo Fan thought for a moment and said, "No need, I'll go and try it."
"Alright, good luck then."
Mo Fan nodded and walked to the Star Sensing Stone. He placed his hand on the Star Sensing Stone, closed his eyes, and began to sense the fire-type stardust in his spiritual world.
A few minutes later, a faint red light emanated from the star-sensing stone. Gradually, the red light grew brighter and brighter, passing through D and then C.
This surprised the other two examiners besides the bald one. Logically speaking, the Stardust Test is a one-time event, and it is impossible for someone to gradually become stronger like Mo Fan, increasing from below D level to B level.
When Mo Fan tested the stardust, the reason why the light of the Star Sensing Stone showed an increasing trend was because there was a dark stone under the Star Sensing Stone.
While Mo Fan was testing the stardust, the Dark Stone continuously absorbed the magical energy inside the Star Sensing Stone. Eventually, the Dark Stone absorbed so much magical energy that it exceeded its tolerance and shattered into powder.
"What? Mo Fan can have a B-level? How is that possible?"
"Exactly! How could Mo Fan, a complete slacker, possibly have a B-level grade?!"
"Holy crap, Mo Fan's grades are usually at the bottom, how could he possibly be at the B level? There must be something wrong with the Star Sense Stone." Zhao Kunsan looked at Man Liang with disbelief.
Mu Bai was also dumbfounded, muttering, "No, no, how is this possible..."
Mu Bai knew about Mu He's plan to secretly place a hidden stone under the Star Sensing Stone, but he didn't expect that Mo Fan, that academic underachiever, could still reach the B-level under the effect of the hidden stone.
When Mu He saw that Mo Fan had achieved a B grade, he frowned. This was not the kind of acceptance he wanted.
When Xue Musheng saw that Mo Fan had achieved a B grade, he smiled and replied, "Good, good, good, Mo Fan."
Mo Fan was a poor student in the class, and Xue Musheng never expected that he could get a B grade. Just now, he was worried that Mo Fan in his class would get a D grade, which would mean he would lose his annual bonus and might even be ridiculed by the homeroom teacher of Class 7 next door.
"Rank B, not bad," Mu Zhuoyun chuckled.
Mu Ningxue also looked at Mo Fan on the platform with great interest, but Mu Zhuoyun did not notice Mu Ningxue's gaze.
After seeing Mo Fan's results, Tang Yue frowned slightly, feeling that there was something wrong with the Star Sensing Stone, and that the test results were somewhat problematic.
"Teacher Tang, do you also think there's something wrong with that Star Sensing Stone?" Jiang Han's voice suddenly rang in Tang Yue's ear as she was thinking.
"Oh, when did you get here?"
Tang Yue, who was deep in thought, was startled by the sudden sound and did not notice when Jiang Han had secretly slipped to the back row.
"Oh dear, Teacher Tang, shouldn't you pay attention to such details? I just wanted to ask if you think there's something wrong with that Star Sensing Stone," Jiang Han said casually, waving his hand.
Tang Yue looked at the Star Sensing Stone on the platform and said, "Hmm, I always feel that something is devouring the magical energy inside the Star Sensing Stone, making the light emitted by the Star Sensing Stone much weaker."
"You read that right, someone still placed a hidden stone under the Star Sensing Stone."
"Dark Stone, I see. I knew there was something wrong with that Star Sensing Stone. No, I have to ask the school to retest Mo Fan's scores," Tang Yue said earnestly.
Just as the three examiners were about to record Mo Fan's score, they were interrupted by a charming voice.
"This isn't Mo Fan's result. There's something wrong with this Star Sensing Stone. I demand he be re-evaluated." Tang Yue's questioning voice echoed throughout the training ground.
Upon hearing this, Xue Musheng whispered, "Teacher Tang Yue, you are questioning the examiners' judgment. You should know that the exam is decided by the examiners; we have no right to make that judgment."
The students on the training field immediately started discussing, most of them questioning Mo Fan's results, and none of them thought that they had achieved a B grade.
"I knew there was something wrong. How could Mo Fan, that academic failure, possibly get a B grade?"
"It turns out the problem was with the Star Sensing Stone. That means I might be a D-level, but because of the Star Sensing Stone, I'm only an E-level. I request a retake."
"Yes, I also request a re-evaluation."
As for Zhao Kunsan, he excitedly shouted, "Mo Fan's grades were actually problematic. I knew he couldn't possibly get a B grade; he was destined for a D grade."
"Fatty Zhao, I've suddenly realized you're really asking for trouble," Jiang Han said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun immediately shrank back and stopped belittling Mo Fan. In the end, he was still afraid of Jiang Han.
After Tang Yue raised her questions, the principal stepped forward and said calmly, "Teacher Tang Yue, do you know what you're saying? The proctor has the right to request a retake, but if the Star Sensing Stone is not the problem, you will be fully responsible for this."
"I will take responsibility," Tang Yue said earnestly.
"I also think there's something wrong with that star-sensing stone. You should test it again," said Mu Ningxue, who was standing next to Mu Zhuoyun.
Mu He was initially worried that he would be scolded by Mu Zhuoyun if things were exposed, but after hearing Mu Ningxue's words, he immediately took the opportunity to back down.
"Since Mu Ningxue has said so, then this Star Sensing Stone is definitely faulty. Why don't you replace it with a new one and let Mo Fan test it again? You, why don't you go and replace it with a new Star Sensing Stone?" Mu He said sternly.
The bald examiner looked at Mu He. Although he had accepted Mu He's bribes to do favors, he was still a teacher at the school and subject to the principal's control. If this matter were exposed, he would definitely be in deep trouble.
"What are you standing there for? Go exchange your Star-Sense Stone!" The principal shouted sternly when he saw the bald examiner who was still in a daze.
The bald examiner hurriedly went downstairs to get a new Star Sensing Stone and came back up to replace the old one.
While the bald examiner was changing the Star-Sensing Stone, Xue Musheng complained, "Teacher Tang Yue, why did you do this? Why didn't you leave Mo Fan a way out?"
