Although Su Chen did not know the doubts of the teachers outside the secret realm, he had a general idea.

After all, when he was looking for Qingxuan Wood, the first place he looked for was the school's treasure house.

But there is no Qingxuan wood in the treasure pavilion.

But now he encountered the Qingxuan Wood Tree in the secret realm that did not exist in the outside world.

What does this mean?

This means that these Qingxuan Wood trees have either just appeared or not long ago, so the school has not yet put them in the treasure pavilion.

Either that or the Qingxuan wood is so valuable that the school doesn't want to put it in the treasure house.

But no matter which one it is, it means that now is his best chance to obtain the Qingxuan Wood.

After all, even if the school puts this Qingxuan wood in the treasure house in the future, he will still need to exchange it for credits.

And now... he can get it for free!

Freeloading is shameful, but it makes people happy.

Su Chen would never miss any opportunity to get something for free.

"The me in the game cuts down trees, and the me in real life also cuts down trees."

"This world... is truly amazing."

After a moment of emotion, Su Chen immediately raised the magic sword in his hand and began his logging business.

Bang, Bang, Bang!

Soon, the rhythmic sound of chopping trees was heard in the quiet, secret realm of Wuquan Mountain.

First, they played games during the exam, and now they are chopping trees during the exam.

In the eyes of the teachers, Su Chen was no longer just the internet-addicted teenager who was addicted to games.

But he is a weird teenager who is addicted to the Internet and rebellious!

After all, which serious student...would cut down a tree during an exam?

Can he please show some respect to the school and the teachers who set the questions? A sixth hour into the mock exam.

Although only six hours had passed, the original 92 candidates had now dropped to 50.

A total of 42 students were eliminated, nearly half of the total.

However, as the number of candidates decreased, other students found their original teammates from the first stage.

The rate at which candidates are eliminated will certainly start to slow down until the end of the second phase of the exam.

Only then will fierce fighting break out again, accelerating the elimination process.

As for these, Su Chen, who was only focused on chopping, didn't care at all.

"You beat your people; I cut down my trees, and we both have a bright future!"

At the same time, in the forest, one kilometer away from Su Chen's area.

A student from the Heaven Dao class, acting alone, surrounded the five students from the Earth Dao class in front of him.

That's right, one person surrounded by five people.

"Bian Shouyi, are you sure you want to be an enemy of the five of us?"

"Even though you have an innate sword body and a clear sword heart, you are only at the seventh level of the Qi gathering stage."

"If the five of us come together, you may not be able to defeat us."

"Instead of both of us getting hurt, why don't we each take a step back and say goodbye?"

Faced with the admonitions of the five students from the Earth Dao class, Bian Shouyi was not moved at all. He still walked slowly towards them with his sword in hand.

An invisible sword intent emanated from him, like a sharp sword, so sharp that people dared not look directly at it.

The five students from the Earth Dao class looked even uglier when they saw this.

Damn it, damn it, damn it. Why did the five of them finally get together, only to run into a freak like Bian Shouyi who only wanted to fight others and hone his sword skills?

Looking at Bian Shouyi, who was getting closer, the five people looked at each other and finally made a decision.

Although he is strong, the five of them are not pushovers.

Even rabbits bite when they are cornered. If the five of them come together, they can probably pile him up!

He is forcing them to do all this; he is a sword fanatic from the Heaven Dao class, right? Today they will let him have a taste of defeat!

"Let's go together!"

"good!"

Bian Shouyi looked at the five people who no longer ran away but rushed towards him.

The icy face finally changed, and his eyes gradually brightened.

While his face was showing excitement, he also muttered to himself: "My father once said that the sword is the best of all weapons, so a swordsman should take it in a straight line, not in a curve."

"So the shame of a swordsman is not death, but leaving their back to the enemy."

Having said this, Bian Shouyi looked up at the five people.

The eyes beneath the messy hair were clear and firm.

He always knew where his path was and never got lost.

Facing the five people rushing towards him, Bian Shouyi drew out the long sword from his waist and said seriously, "I am Shouyi, the Shouyi who holds the center. My swordsmanship... does not allow retreat."

"Please give me some advice, fellow students."

After half an incense stick...

"Crazy, Bian Shouyi, you are a lunatic. People like you who don't know how to adapt are destined to achieve nothing in this exam or the future."

The last member of the five-member tunnel team cursed at Bian Shouyi during the transmission.

But in the face of these words, Bian Shouyi was not moved at all.

After the man was completely teleported out, Bian Shouyi looked down at the sword in his hand and whispered, "I don't want to make any changes. I just want to go further than everyone else."

After he finished speaking, Bian Shouyi walked straight in a certain direction in the forest.

He didn't know why he was going there, but he had a feeling.

That is, only by going here can he find what he wants.

"It took six hours to chop down one tree. It seems that the Qingxuan wood trees here are much older than those in the game."

Su Chen looked at the result of his six hours of hard work and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a smile.

What a pleasant surprise—truly a pleasant surprise.

As the saying goes, getting something for free is fun for a while, and getting something for free all the time is always fun.

Who would have thought that he could get some free money from the school during the exam?

At this moment, Su Chen had forgotten all about the mock exam and credits.

All he could see were the endless green trees in front of him.

"Take a short break and come back later."

Just when Su Chen was about to take a break and then continue his chopping business.

A sound of breaking through the air was suddenly heard.

In an instant, Su Chen suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The next second, a sharp sword energy pierced through his afterimage and fell on the tree stump next to him.

The Qingxuan wood tree stump, which was comparable to a ninth-level Qi gathering cultivator, was now left with a thumb-deep sword mark, which showed the power of the sword energy.

"…Bian Shouyi?"

Su Chen retreated to the open space and looked at Bian Shouyi, who had suddenly attacked him with a surprised look on his face.

He has never provoked this sword maniac; why did he suddenly come to him?

"What do you want?"

In response to Su Chen's question, Bian Shouyi did not say much but excitedly raised the sword in his hand.

"Classmate, please give me some advice."

Su Chen looked at Bian Shouyi's strong fighting spirit and pinched his brows with a headache.

Rather than fighting with a sword fanatic, he would rather be a lumberjack peacefully at this moment.

After all, fighting can happen at any time, but the opportunity to get something for free doesn't come every day.

But based on his understanding of Bian Shouyi, this sword fanatic from the Heaven Dao class once determined something.

He won't give up easily and is very difficult to deal with.

This is difficult...

Just as Su Chen was thinking about countermeasures, he accidentally noticed the sword marks on the tree stump next to him.

A bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

If he remembered correctly, Bian Shouyi was a bit stubborn, but he was a man who kept his promises.

If the bet was to help him cut wood, he would surely not break his promise if he lost.

A perfect tool indeed!

Not only that, if Bian Shouyi could become a tool to help him cut wood, wouldn't other students be able to do the same?

Thinking of this, Su Chen felt like Columbus, who discovered the New World, and his vision suddenly opened up.

Even the look in his eyes, when he looked at Bian Shouyi, became interesting.

With this strength and sword energy, Bian Shouyi... you are born to be a woodcutter!
