Chapter 83 (Fourth update) Li Cheng has always been the examiner who likes to improve candidates the most.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately turned to the holographic projection.

Your intuition tells you that something wrong is going to happen again.

In the projection, Li Cheng turned around again and looked at the candidates, with his hands behind his back and his signature sunny smile.

"Everyone, the crisis is over for now."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Examiner!"

"Yes, thanks to you, otherwise we would be out now."

"Yes, yes! We almost lost the qualification for the competition!"

All the candidates were moved to tears of gratitude, and some of them, who had just been chased by the three-faced monster ball, bowed their heads in worship.

"Ahem." Li Cheng coughed twice, scanned everyone's faces, and frowned: "You don't think you are still qualified to compete, do you?"

"Ah?" The candidates who had been full of gratitude just now were petrified in an instant.

"No way, you don't think that after you rely on the examiner to help you get through the crisis, you can still continue to take the exam, right?" Li Cheng pretended to be surprised: "How can you get something for nothing?"

"This……"

"But, but..."

“We have tried very hard…”

The candidates looked at each other, and all of us looked as pale as death.

The joy of surviving the disaster was immediately replaced by the pain of losing the qualification to take the exam.

However, no one among them jumped out to refute Li Cheng's words. After all, what Li Cheng said was true.

If Li Cheng had not taken action, many of them might have been seriously injured by the strange ball.

I am lucky not to be injured at this moment.

But having said that, it is still not realistic to accept failure calmly. Almost all the candidates showed expressions of unwillingness on their faces.

"We've come this far." Someone whispered, "Is this the end of everything?"

Seeing them like this, Li Cheng's mouth curled up slightly. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

He smiled at the examinees and rubbed his fingers: "Haha, in principle, this is the case, but... it seems that I am the only examiner here."

Hearing this, the candidates who had just been in despair raised their heads again.

Their eyes were filled with complex expressions of disbelief and desire.

None of the candidates who are qualified to take the Full Moon Academy examination are fools.

Almost everyone heard the hidden meaning in Li Cheng's words.

Therefore, they were extremely surprised.

No, as the chief examiner of the exam, is it really okay for you to openly accept bribes during the examination?
Has the academic atmosphere of our Man Yue Academy fallen to this level?
This is different from the Full Moon Academy we know!
But soon, several of the most active noble candidates stood up. They had been with their parents since childhood and were very familiar with the ways of the world.

While others were still having their worldviews shattered by the true face of the academy, they had already transformed into crazy progress demons.

Without any hesitation, he walked up to Li Cheng, took out the gold coins and magic emblem stones from his arms, and bowed: "Mr. Chief Examiner, please accept these things!"

"Oh? What are you doing? Are you trying to bribe me? Do you think I'm greedy?" Li Cheng glanced at the gold coins and snorted coldly: "I, the chief examiner, have always been the most impartial chief examiner since ancient times."

"..." The candidate gritted his teeth, took out another relic from his arms, and placed it among the magic emblem stones: "These... are just to thank you for saving my life."

"So you're not bribing me?"

"Of course, I just... am so grateful to you."

"Well, not bad, not bad." Li Cheng nodded, accepted the candidate's progress fund, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, go ahead, the rest of the exam is still long, you must take care of yourself, I believe in you."

"Thank you for your concern, examiner."

The candidate finally breathed a sigh of relief, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash.

The speed was so fast, as if he was afraid that if he left too late, he would not be able to leave.

The other candidates were almost petrified when they saw this scene.

Not to mention the candidates, even Lilith, who had been floating beside Li Cheng, had her mouth twitching, not knowing what expression to make.

Although she had already known that Li Cheng would do something outrageous.

But she never expected that Li Cheng's operation would be so incredible.

He pretended to be an examiner and collected bribes from candidates in the examination room... and then took all the blame.

What kind of birth and sword tomb could allow one to come up with such a miraculous method?
So your fishing method this time will not only catch the Demon Dragon's confidant, but also catch the other candidates, right?

However, Li Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.

If it weren't for Li Cheng, these candidates wouldn't even have been issued identity cards. Would there be anything wrong with asking them for some progress funds?
Being both a candidate and an examiner, Li Cheng had to juggle multiple roles. Was it easy for him? So, he showed his signature sunny smile again:
"Who among you still wants to make progress? No, who among you still wants to repay this examiner for saving your life?"

"Let me make it clear first, don't keep giving gifts, money is just a thing outside of your body."

"My examiner has always been a noble man who regards money as dirt."

"Come on, don't be in a hurry, come one by one."
-
In the meeting room of the Sage's House.

All the teachers and professors were petrified.

As they watched Li Cheng on the screen collecting progress funds from candidate after candidate, their veins popped out and their breathing became rapid.

The professor sitting in the front row had fainted while pinching his philtrum.

This is also human nature.

Perhaps in this world, there is no teacher or dean who can remain calm after seeing this scene.

Who could have thought that Li Cheng, who bore the title of "The Undertaker of the Abyss", would actually do such a thing.

It would be fine if he attacked the examiner and issued his own ID card.

You actually went into the examination room and collected bribes from the candidates?

It's okay to take bribes.

It's actually percentage damage?

The nobles paid more and the common people paid less. So you are controlling the gap between the rich and the poor in the examination room?

"Ahem." A professor coughed twice and gritted his teeth: "Well... Although Li Chengshi is strong and talented, don't you think that this is a bit too much? If this continues, the reputation of the school..."

The other teachers also looked dejected, not knowing how to face the reality.

There was no way. Li Cheng's operation was too outrageous. Even the teachers and professors who had seen many ups and downs felt it was ridiculous.

According to common sense, when encountering special circumstances, one should consult the ancestral system and make judgments based on past precedents.

But the difficulty in Li Cheng's case lies in the fact that there is no precedent at all.

Which candidate has the guts to attack the examiner?
Which candidate would have the guts to pretend to be an examiner and accept bribes?

"I propose that Li Cheng's qualification for the exam be revoked."

The Dean of Studies of the Demon Court, Professor Jerrar, knocked on the table, his deep eye sockets looking extremely gloomy.

He is the father of Miss Carrie, who has dropped out of school, although he is not sure whether his daughter's transformation into a "smiling and confused person" has any definite connection with Li Cheng.

But Professor Jerrel was still happy to add more gambling to this brat.

Li Cheng’s brilliance before was too dazzling, and he never found any opportunity. Now that he found the sign, he naturally had to hold on tight.

"I disagree." Liuli's eyes flashed dangerously: "Again, there is no school rule that stipulates that candidates cannot accept bribes from other candidates."

Jerrel: “…”

Professors: “…”

"I say, Ms. Yevni, are you serious?" Professor Jerrel's mouth twitched: "You should know that such an examination rule is impossible, but——"

"Didn't Dean Man Yue say that? You can do anything unless it's prohibited by law."

Liuli interrupted Jerrel before he finished speaking: "All of Li Cheng's actions are within the scope allowed by the rules. He is making reasonable use of the rules. Why should we disqualify him from the exam?"

"You..." Jerrel was choked and couldn't say anything.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Professor Typhon, the dean of the Sage Academy, couldn't stand it any longer. He sighed and said, "I suggest that we stop the second round of exams."

"Why not just send all candidates who have not lost their qualifications to the third round and let the third round decide the winner."

"In addition, the examination rules should include a clause prohibiting people from pretending to be examiners and accepting bribes."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the teachers and professors were interested.

Indeed, although this second round of assessment was very interesting, it was too outrageous.

With so many big shots from the Destiny Continent watching here, if this continues, the academy will really lose all its face.

"In that case, let's vote by raising our hands."

"Wait a moment."

At this moment, the Full Moon Queen, who had been silent, spoke. She stared at Tal who stood up in the holographic projection and frowned.

"I never thought that a damn bug would sneak into the exam."

"Is that a follower of the Abyss Dragon?"
