Seemingly aware of Lin Li’s gaze, Wu Xuan looked over and seeing Lin Li fixated on his QQ candies, took one out and hesitantly gestured towards Lin Li.
Lin Li was instinctively going to politely refuse but then changed his mind—this was the perfect chance to show off.
So he nodded, took Wu Xuan’s QQ candy, and launched it upward imdiately.
The candy, empowered by the "Invisible Sword," traced a perfect parabola through the air, falling from the ceiling’s maximum height directly into Lin Li’s mouth.
Lin Li turned to Wu Xuan, opening his mouth to reveal the candy on his liver.
Wu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Sowhat intrigued, he tossed another one over, signaling Lin Li to go again.
This ti, Lin Li covered his eyes with his left hand and accurately threw and caught it with his mouth again.
"Holy crap!?" Lin Li could hear Wu Xuan’s exclamation.
Wu Xuan, even more direct now, simply threw all the remaining QQ candies his way, eager to see what other tricks Lin Li might perform.
Taking out three QQ candies, Lin Li began a juggling act.
The skills learned from Wang Yuezhi were still sharp; despite not practicing in a while, Lin Li’s strengthened physique allowed him to perform with ease.
The juggling grew increasingly elaborate, with candy thrown higher and higher.
Wu Xuan was full of shock and surprise, and then poked the student in front of him, signaling him to turn around and watch Lin Li.
With more of an audience, Lin Li smiled slightly, raising the height once more, while inwardly focusing on the system, hoping for their acknowledgnt.
Life is tough; even cultivators need to perform.
...
[Receive acknowledgnt from at least 20 servant disciples during the grand competition (6/20)]
After Lin Li continued the performance for a while, the system’s ssage popped up.
The two were watching intently, almost ready to applaud.
Having received acknowledgnt from them, Lin Li felt they were of no further use and caught all the remaining QQ candies in his mouth, ate them, and then signaled that he was tired and turned his focus back to the exam paper.
The two didn’t bother him, and went back to their tasks.
’Showcasing one’s talents’—this thod works too.
The question now is how to get these people to see his performance?
Wu Xuan seems eager to learn; maybe pretend I’m teaching him during break and perform for others?
Not enough.
In the exam hall, quite a few people tend to arrive late for tests; even though there’s only a 10-minute gap between the two afternoon exams, those who submit early get 40 minutes, so they surely won’t stay in the classroom.
Add in those who love to sleep; if I perform during the break, only about half would be watching at most.
While pondering, Lin Li caught a whiff of sothing and turned back towards Wu Xuan.
Wu Xuan was eating spicy strips.
His front-row peer also evidently caught the sll; he turned to see the sneaky Wu Xuan and laughed, saying, "Eating spicy strips during the exam, huh, impressive."
"The windows are open, what’s to fear? Want so?" Wu Xuan replied with a smile.
"Nah, I’m good." Front-row smiled and waved his hand.
Watching them, Lin Li thought he’d found one possible thod to complete his task.
He decided to prepare today and test the feasibility during tomorrow morning’s English exam.
Hope it succeeds.
Coming back to his senses, Lin Li realized Wu Xuan was looking at him.
Lin Li took advantage of the situation, reaching out his hand, "Give one."
Wu Xuan was initially taken aback, then nodded, putting away the spicy strips, glancing at the exam supervisor, and tossed the cigarettes and lighter to Lin Li.
Lin Li: "(*́へ*)?"
Wait, that’s not right.
