Chapter 515: 206 The insurmountable college entrance examination (first update)_1
“`
The first exam was Chinese language.
The test paper began with a piece on technology, its sentences interspersed with numerous professional terms.
Bai Lian glanced over the test and estimated its difficulty,
feeling a bit worried for Weng Qi.
As she pondered, she began writing down answers on her test paper.
The proctor made a round and paused for a few seconds next to Bai Lian.
Since the Guange style lacked uniqueness and was not accepted into the Calligraphy Association,
fewer people studied it. Guange style emphasizes brushwork and endurance, as well as layout.
