Chapter 5 Annual Performance Appraisal
Chapter 5 Annual Performance Appraisal
The eighteen elements make his mental strength stronger than that of mages of the same level. Under the same Stardust Magic Artifact, his cultivation speed will be faster. However, Mo Fan, who puts a lot of energy into the Necromancer element, shows a cultivation speed that returns to the level of a normal genius.
The annual assessment was finally here, and most students were extremely nervous. Mo Fan didn't know if he would be framed, but since he was now Tang Yue's henchman, he wasn't afraid of the Mu family at all.
He naturally wouldn't do the mindless thing he did by angrily criticizing Mu Zhuoyun. However, Mo Fan probably couldn't avoid the duel with Yu Ang, since the quota for using the Holy Spring in Bo City was decided through battle, and no one had any objections.
Inside the Mu family manor, Mu Bai was quite satisfied with his understated yet tasteful attire. Knowing that Mu Ningxue would appear during the assessment, he had made meticulous preparations. As long as Mu Ningxue could glance at him a few more times, it would be worth it.
It's no exaggeration to say that Mu Ningxue is the goddess in the hearts of most young men in Bocheng.
Those who excel in the annual assessment can enter the seed class and gain the right to use the Stardust Magic Artifact. The higher the ranking, the longer the usage time. However, Mo Fan's Little Mudfish is already a Spirit-level Stardust Magic Artifact, so the assessment reward is not very useful.
The assessment took place in a training ground, the same place where everyone usually had outdoor practical classes, except that there was an extra watermelon-sized Star Sensing Stone used to test the amount of magical energy.
Students only need to place their hands on it to release magical energy. The operation is very simple. After several school leaders and Mu Ningxue spoke and shouted that the test was about to begin, the first person to be tested was He Yu, who looked like she was about to be expelled.
He got an A in the assessment, which was enough to get into the seed class. She's definitely a magician and should be looked down upon. The next person to be assessed was Zhang Xiaohou, whose score was a little higher than He Yu's. However, he was too nervous and failed to complete the assessment.
"Brother Fan, I'm really useless!" Zhang Xiaohou said with some disappointment.
"You've done very well, you're just not mentally prepared enough. You just need to practice more," Mo Fan said with a smile.
"Yes, I will." Zhang Xiaohou nodded.
In the following assessments, most of the students in Class 8 received Bs and Cs. Xu Zhaoting from Class 7 received attention, but in the eyes of Mu Ningxue, who was used to seeing geniuses from prestigious universities in the capital, he was only considered average.
Xu Zhaoting is also a pitiful person, but with Mo Fan around, his ending will not be as tragic as it originally was. Mo Fan plans to bring him to the trial committee. He will just casually give him a pass and share some credit with Old Xu. His promotion will be as fast as a rocket.
Although he is currently just a lowly intern judge, with Tang Yue as a connection, as long as he breaks through to the intermediate level and his strength increases, climbing up will be easy. The Black Vatican was everywhere during the Bo City disaster, which is all thanks to Tang Yue.
Xu Zhaoting's assessment results were quite good, only slightly worse than Mu Bai's. Xu Zhaoting's cultivation environment was definitely not as good as Mu Bai's, and the school leaders were a bit more arbitrary in their power, which is not normal.
However, Mu Bai, who had a firm grip on Xu Zhaoting, was not happy at all. He was very unhappy that Mu Ningxue was not paying attention to him. Mu Ningxue's gaze fell on Mo Fan, and Mo Fan smiled at her.
Feelings need to be cultivated from a young age. As long as someone isn't born ungrateful, they'll be somewhat useful. Mu Bai is considered excellent, but within the Mu Clan, he appears average.
Soon, it was Mo Fan's turn to be tested. Mo Fan walked calmly to the Star Sensing Stone. He usually performed quite well, on par with Mu Bai. He casually touched the Star Sensing Stone and then grinned crookedly.
"Oh dear, what's this? Is this Star Sensing Stone broken?" Mo Fan held a small pebble in his hand.
"It might have been broken accidentally. Instructor Wang, could you go and get a new one?" Mu He didn't understand how Mo Fan knew his plan, but he reacted quickly and immediately had someone replace it.
Mu Bai was also dumbfounded at this moment. He had been very discreet in his actions, while Tang Yue, who was in the distance, had a slight smile on her lips. "This kid is very clever."
Mo Fan placed his hand on the new Star Sensing Stone, and the crimson light grew stronger and stronger, soon reaching the level of Mu Bai's overflowing light. Without a doubt, Mo Fan's score was S, and the next step was the release assessment.
Mu Bai's skill level is still quite good. To surpass him, one would need to bring something truly special. With a snap of his fingers, the crimson star trail was completed, and a blazing flame appeared at Mo Fan's fingertip.
As the blazing flame streaked across the sky like a crimson meteor, it landed precisely on the puppet target. Within seconds, the puppet target was engulfed. Mo Fan's casting speed was faster than Mu Bai's, and his magical strength was no less than Mu Bai's, securing him the top spot in the annual assessment.
Seeing this, Mu Zhuoyun decided to win Mo Fan over. "Mo Fan, come here."
"What is it?" Mo Fan asked indifferently. He wasn't working for the Mu family, so there was no need for him to curry favor.
"Our Mu clan happens to have a spare fire-element resource. I plan to give it to you so you can use it for Mu Jiangming and the others to cultivate." Mu Zhuoyun said calmly. Couldn't he win them over?
Mu He tried to dissuade him, but Mu Zhuoyun waved his hand to stop him, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, but I already have my own territory, so there's no need for you to trouble yourself."
"That's a real pity!" Mu Zhuoyun shook his head. He had a broad vision and knew that there were many forces stronger than the Mu family of Bocheng.
After the assessment, Mu Zhuoyun didn't have any opinion about Mo Fan. During the holiday, Mo Fan still prepared to go out and train. Although he was still very bad, every little bit counts. Even if the income was small, it was still income. What if he got a rare spirit essence? That would be a bonus.
However, just as Mo Fan was about to act, Tang Yue spotted him and said, "Are you crazy to act alone like this?"
"Safety is for the dead, and I'm just taking a stroll on the outskirts," Mo Fan said righteously.
"I didn't realize you were so enlightened?" Tang Yue pouted.
"Absolutely," Mo Fan replied, inwardly thinking, "I can't exactly tell them I have a horse talisman, can I?"
"Take this with you." Tang Yue handed a magical artifact to Mo Fan.
"Oh, a magic-enhancing artifact, you're giving it to me?" Mo Fan didn't stand on ceremony and directly integrated it into his soul; it was even a spirit-level magic-enhancing artifact.
"Give it to me? You're overthinking it. Who are you to me? Eighteen million in accounts. If it weren't for your talent, I wouldn't care about you." Tang Yue rolled her eyes at Mo Fan.
"I never imagined that the bond between us as teacher and student would be so weak. In the end, I was wrong about you." Mo Fan pursed his lips and left with the magic tool.
"You brat!"
Mo Fan spent the entire holiday training in the wild. This time he went very far, not because he had the Horse Talisman and could do whatever he wanted, but because he encountered a white-haired imp that was over a thousand years old during a summoning of the dead.
Her exact strength is unclear, mainly because there's no comparable object. However, judging from her thousand-year lifespan, her strength is at least at the commander level. It's absurd for Mo Fan, with his level two initial stage of the undead element, to think he could subdue this thousand-year-old white-haired little loli.
