At exactly 5:15 AM, Gu Chengyu and the others were outside the examination hall, waiting for its doors to open.
The rules of this examination were similar to the county examination before, but this time there were thousands of candidates, crowded together outside the examination hall. Although they dared not speak loudly, the noise lingered in the air.
"Chengyu! There are so many people this time, probably around two thousand! With only fifty passing, I wonder if I can make it!" He Shunian felt a bit nervous about the prefectural exam as the number of candidates was overwhelming, putting considerable pressure on him.
"Senior brother, your foundation is solid. There's really no need to worry, just concentrate and do well!" Gu Chengyu was confident he would pass, but what rank he would achieve was uncertain.
This time for the prefectural exam, an additional candidate had to be vouched for; Mr. Wen and Mr. Yang from another private school in town vouched for each other's students.
