Chapter 227 An Su's Massacre in the Exam Hall Again

The written exam started at eight in the morning.

The day was already bright, the glaring sun of late summer lay upon the church's glazed tiles, coating them with a shallow layer of white light, yet without a trace of summer's heat. It looked as if a thin layer of snow had fallen, pressing against the semi-translucent tiles and stained glass. Outside the window, the branches of the Chinese parasol trees swayed gently in the wind, their leaves trembling with the faux snow made of light.

What set the promotion written exam apart from other exams was that it covered seven subjects, encompassing all knowledge of the seven Orthodox doctrines. After passing, the saints could choose to convert their beliefs and change their allegiances.

Simply put, they could switch their majors.

Saints from across the nation were full of confidence about this exam. They were elites among the elites, able to come to the Imperial Capital to take the exam, far surpassing the local nobles of the Imperial Capital, and moreover, the Church insured the pass rate, making sure the difficulty of the written exam was feasible.

The young man surrounded by these saints was Xia Leng, previously known for asking An Su for contact details of Miss Yue'er and Miss Yangzi, and reputed to be an old acquaintance of An Su and also acquainted with the legendary Kavensis.

As a regional saint representative, he was the third most watched candidate in this exam. While his strength wasn't as great as that of the Imperial Princess, who was a saint, he was still at the Fourth Tier Peak Rank.

In the opinion of most saints, Xia Leng was much better than An Su.

After all, the characters from the three border families were not notorious, but they could be said to be infamously distinguished.

They entered the examination hall full of confidence, found their seats according to their exam numbers, and waited to showcase their abilities.

"The exam will begin in twenty minutes, please prepare, candidates. Those who need to use the restroom should go now."

Priest Paxi entered seriously, his left hand holding a thick stack of sealed exam papers and his right grasping the Scales of Order. His eagle-like gaze swept across the room, ensuring no attempts to disrupt the order of the exam room went unnoticed,

With lessons learned from the last exam, he had also prepared a 2.0 version of the Scales of Order, capable of even more precisely detecting and adjudicating any agents of chaos, and he had prepared more than one set of scales.

He placed one on the lectern, another at the back row, one in the sanitary corner of the exam room, and three on An Su's desk...

"Priest Paxi, you seem to be targeting me."

An Su stared at the scales on his desk and voiced his protest.

He felt untrusted.

"Protest invalid," Priest Paxi shook his head as he sternly denied An Su's protest. This kid needed special attention.

Even to prevent the three from the border families from collaborating and causing trouble, they were each assigned to different examination halls.

"You should know, I have connections above."

Xia Leng snorted coldly, his threat implicit, not revealing who his backing was, sparking endless speculation—

this was the most lethal and intimidating stance. Recently, there were rumors in the Church that An Su was related to Magic God Merlin, and though its authenticity was uncertain, it was better to do less than to provoke. Generally, Church Deacons didn't dare to trouble An Su.

"You're discriminating against me, infringing upon my legitimate rights to take the exam!" An Su stared at him, speaking with justified indignation, "Who gave you the authority to do this?"

"Merlin Andre."

Priest Paxi said expressionlessly,

"The chief examiner specially instructed me to 'definitely place four scales on this kid An Su's desk, otherwise this troublemaker will definitely cause issues,' and he emphasized it three times. It was I who suggested that three scales were too many, as they would leave no room to write, so we settled on three."

"..." An Su fell silent.

That tricky old Merlin.

An Su glared angrily at the three Scales of Order on his desk. He had originally intended to take the exam honestly, to win solely by his cheating skills, but he hadn't expected Merlin to distrust him so much. Damn it, he actually guessed right!

Only five were to advance to the next round of the exam, and just relying on his set of papers wouldn't guarantee a one hundred percent success rate.

There could be unpredictable and undetectable existences like Enlightenment Brother and Competition Sister in the exam room.

Some assurance was needed.

Now, it was time for his subordinates to enter the scene.

His lips curled into a serene smile; eliminating competitors in the preliminary stage, considering the shifting and perilous dynamics of the Imperial Capital, sending these saints home early was also for their safety—this was An Su looking out for their best interests.

Priest Paxi thought everything was in perfect order and left after setting up the scales.

Just then, a sexy girl in a western-style school uniform skirt, her bare gray-haired thighs and feet in little leather shoes, leaned over from the lead table and whispered in his ear,

"Boss An Su, are we still sticking to the plan?"

She spoke with an air of mysterious certainty.

Who are you, sister...

An Su looked at her, peering at her charming and delicate features for a while before he could vaguely make out her figure,

This person seemed to be the once arrogant and villainous-looking Chaotic Elevator Brother, with an entirely domineering masculine essence.

One should regard a man with newfound respect after three days. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

He never expected that in just a few days, Elevator Brother would have changed so drastically.

There were several provocatively dressed and attractive female saints in this examination hall, and the girl next to An Su was among the most striking and boldly dressed. As soon as she entered and sat down, she drew widespread attention, and many young boys attempted to strike up conversations. Seeing her take the initiative to greet An Su now made many saints feel secretly sour.
