Chapter 74
She had seen him hold a book and copy from it, but it somehow disappeared whenever she tried to grab it, so it was no wonder that she felt stupefied. However, she wasn't willing to give up and convinced herself that Jiang Xiu was playing some tricks. She steeled herself to catch him red-handed.
As expected, after a while, she witnessed him take the book out again. After making sure she was entirely sober, she quietly approached him and took another careful look from behind him.
Jiang Xiu was copying from a 12th-grade Literature textbook.
Let's see if you can talk your way out this time.
She closed in on him, enough that her shadow fell on Jiang Xiu's exam paper, which was enough for him to discover her. She gazed at him coldly, indicating that she'd seen him cheating and there was no escape this time.
Jiang Xiu smiled coolly towards her and then continued to look for the answer.
It was indeed a bit difficult for someone who hadn't touched the Literature textbook for three millenniums to write the Literature exam. So difficult that he had to look for the answers with the book in his hand.
The invigilator was infuriated. Aren't you acting too arrogant? You're actually cheating in front of me so brazenly.
"ENOUGH!"
She snarled, "Give the book to me at once!"
The examinees and the other invigilator all looked towards her.
"What happened?"
The other invigilator came running over.
"He's copying from a Literature textbook."
She didn't try to grab the book this time. As she had failed twice already, she wanted to let the others see and make the decision whether she was insane or this student was cheating.
However, she discovered that everyone was looking at her strangely.
As if they were looking at a lunatic.
"Can't you see? He's holding a book and copying it!"
One of the students said, "Teacher, there's no book in his hand."
She was stunned again, "How can it be?"
"Impossible."
There was nothing else except the exam paper on the desk.
"Even if he wanted to cheat, he'd use a crib sheet. Only an idiot would bring a book to copy."
"Right, or copy from someone else's answer sheet."
The other invigilator took out his cell phone and called the school administration.
"Is this the administrative office?"
"Please send someone from your side. Teacher Zhang's mental state isn't proper due to the enormous pressure of invigilating. I'm requesting a change of personnel to prevent further influence on the examinees."
Teacher Zhang was still grabbing her hair and muttered from time to time. "Impossible. This is impossible."
She had already broken down.
However, Jiang Xiu had already learned his lesson.
He had realized that his actions were indeed lacking IQ. He hadn't thought of copying from others directly first and tried to find the answers himself.
He rejoiced inwardly that no one knew about this matter, or else Deity Xiu would lose all face.
"Mystical Light-Aided Image."
Who to copy from?
His gaze locked onto two individuals. One was Ye Wenchen, who was known as the genius topper and the other was Ye Bing, her Literature grades were always among the top in class.
He first looked at Ye Wenchen's answer sheet. The questions at the start were all MCQs. Tick, Tick, Tick. That pleasant feeling was tough to describe.
He then checked Ye Bing's answer sheet. Two problems had different answers while the rest were same.
He looked at the other answer sheets to make sure who was wrong. Most of the examinees had answered the same as Ye Wenchen. He surmised that Ye Bing must have got it wrong.
He started copying into the blanks.
Copy, Copy, Copy.
The feeling of writing at a flow was indeed too pleasant.
At this moment, a silhouette had dropped on the classroom's roof. The person had a vivid and realistic appearance. His gaze locked onto Ye Wenchen sitting on the front row, who was engrossed in writing at the moment, inspiration gushing out of him like a fountain. If there wasn't a character count restriction, he felt that he could write a monumental work consisting of 3 million characters in a single sheet.
That silhouette touched its beard with satisfaction after seeing Ye Wenchen's condition, talking to himself, "Fated with Literature and a Topper Halo. Looks like you'll be the topper."
"This Deity's Godhood Halo should grow a bit after letting it reside in your body."
Just as he was about to send his Godhood Halo into Ye Wenchen's body, a voice reached him.
"Who are you?"
That silhouette got frightened after hearing this voice. Its entire attention was on Ye Wenchen so even as a God, he got scared due to the sudden voice. However, he thought he was mistaken as it wasn't possible for an ignorant mortal to see him.
However, he still gazed towards the source of the voice subconsciously.
Jiang Xiu's gaze was filled with astonishment as if he saw something unbelievable.
"It doesn't make sense. It's impossible for him to look at this Deity."
Therefore, his body floated left and then to the right, and he discovered that Jiang Xiu's eyes were following him. He was stunned this time as he was sure the other party could see him.
"T-Thou can see me?"
You're so brazenly floating in front of this Deity. This Deity would be considered blind if I can't see you.
"What demon are you?!"
"You dare act so impudent in front of this Deity?"
That man couldn't help but laugh after making sure Jiang Xiu could really see him, "This is quite interesting. An insignificant mortal can actually see me."
"I am Li Mi!"
"I hath cometh hither to chooseth this year's imperial examination's seruo lucernam."
The man spoke in a deep archaic accent.
Jiang Xiu had seen him prepare to send his Godhood Halo towards Ye Wenchen's body just now. Ye Wenchen could become the provincial topper using his own strength, so there was no need for this person to designate him.
Jiang Xiu guessed that this man desired to place his Godhood Halo in Ye Wenchen's body and retrieve it back after he becomes the high school topper, which would raise his cultivation.
"You want to borrow his fate to enrich your Godhood Halo, right?"
Li Mi's expression morphed, "Who art thou?"
Jiang Xiu just continued without answering, "That's indeed a good method to cultivate divinity."
"Only, your luck's really bad today as you've encountered this Deity."
Jiang Xiu's pupils expanded, his eyes turning pitch black as he opened his mouth wide, causing the light to converge at his mouth.
Li Mi turned pale with fright as his Yang Divinity got sucked out. He screamed loudly, "DON'T! AAHHHH…."
No matter which era it was, the weak always remained as prey to the strong, this rule has never changed.
Lin Mi thought of plundering Ye Wenchen but got plundered by Jiang Xiu instead.
"NOOO…"
Li Mi shouted in alarm. There was a chance he would have escaped from the Divinity Devouring Art if Jiang Xiu had still been at the 2nd Mythical Realm of the Awakening Stage and only had two Divine Regalia as the power source. However, he had reached the 4th Mythical Stage and had four Divine Regalia now. The amount of attraction wasn't something Li Mi's Yang Divinity could resist. It got sucked into Jiang Xiu's mouth as if it were air and got devoured clean.
After the soul was devoured by him, he began to absorb its power.
Bbbbzzz!
The Divine race's bloodline began to achieve another breakthrough.
Another Godhood Halo was left behind after the soul was absorbed completely. Jiang Xiu used the secret art like last time and made this Godhood Halo his own as well.
The course of events went quite smoothly. Jiang Xiu got hold over this Godhood Halo very quickly. However, after he did that, he discovered that the other Godhood Halo went missing from within his body. The Godhood Halo of the Heavenly Dao Religion's God replaced itself with the current Goodhood Halo.
Jiang Xiu used the secret art once again to confirm his speculations. This time, the Heavenly Dao Religion's Godhood Halo replaced Li Mi's Godhood Halo.
He became sure now that it wasn't possible to use two Godhood Halo at the same time.
These two Godhood Halo were astonishing existences. Their powers were something else, and they also had completely different attributes. Jiang Xiu still hadn't discovered the exact use of this Godhood Halo.
BOOM!
The Divine race's Bloodline evolved once again. Jiang Xiu controlled it so that it doesn't influence the outer world much. The Divine Force in his body had leapt higher again.
Awakening Stage's 5th Mythical Realm. The fifth Divine Regalia had appeared on Jiang Xiu's arm. This Divine Regalia took a larger space than the others. The overall pattern was still indecipherable.
"Students, there are only 30 minutes left. You must hurry."
"Those who have finished writing can recheck their sheets."
Ye Wenchen stood up, "Teacher, please take my answer sheet."
"This student, there's still 30 minutes left. You should recheck it once."
