Alan truthfully recounted his experience in the illusion.
As expected, he was ridiculed and mocked by other candidates.
It doesn't matter.
The most important thing is Elder Li’s attitude.
Alan could see that the elder was in a bad .
He can only blame himself for being unlucky and getting the wrong script.
Elder Li is also an elderly man.
He has a daughter, a son-in-law, and young and beautiful wives and concubines.
He was involuntarily brought into Allen's fantasy experience, where his father-in-law was cuckolded without knowing it.
How can I be in a good mood?!
He had every reason to hate Allen, but he couldn't say it out loud, and it couldn't be used as a reason to deduct points.
After all, in that environment, it was not excessive for Allen to behave in such a way in order to protect himself and to retaliate against his cheating wife and his discriminatory father-in-law.
Elder Li, you just said it yourself, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!
Allen is practicing what he said.
Could he immediately change his stance and criticize Allen for being selfish and disregarding ethics and morals?
Elder Li doesn't mind applying double standards.
But he couldn't be so straightforward, it would be embarrassing.
He could only find another way and try to find something to hold against Allen from other angles.
Catch this morally corrupt boy and deduct his points!
Thinking of this, Elder Li activated his telepathy.
A faint magical glow appeared in his eyes, secretly scanning Alan's thoughts.
Outside the scope of the exam, snoop into his privacy and see what bad things he has done!
As soon as Elder Raccoon's spiritual fluctuations radiated over...
Alan immediately became alert!
The 4th level of soul-soothing meditation can resist the 4th level of telepathy.
By cooperating with the system, you can also selectively conceal your thoughts.
Alan can completely block the prying eyes of Elder Tanuki.
But he endured it.
I don't want to appear too special in front of the examiner.
If Elder Li wants to read minds, just let him do it.
Anyway, Allen had already hidden the important secrets, such as the Taotie System and the Poison Demon Bloodline.
Elder Li's level of Taoism is such that he can't see through all this.
As for other things, Alan had no need to hide them.
Anyway, he didn't lie, so what's there to be nervous about?
However, the development of the situation gradually became outrageous.
Elder Li actually tried to probe into his cultivation level and the origins of his master outside of the illusion experience.
Alan endured it.
Let’s assume that Elder Li did this just to eliminate his suspicion of being a spy.
Then, Elder Li began to inquire about his family situation.
Alan endured it.
In the end, it was Elder Li who couldn't help it first.
So he just asked Alan directly: "Answer me honestly, what have you done wrong?"
Alan scratched his head.
This question was somewhat unexpected.
After trying hard to recall his experiences since traveling through time, Alan looked up and met Elder Li's scorching gaze.
He answered frankly: "I have never done anything wrong in my life."
"lie!"
Elder Li slammed the table, his face full of indignation.
"You are a person with no moral bottom line, who seduced my mother-in-law to take over. It is impossible for you to have a clean conscience!"
In fact, there was also some acting in his scolding.
When he asked the candidates in a stern voice what bad things they had done, no matter how tough they were, they would feel guilty to some extent and could not help but think about the bad things they had done in the past.
In this way , Elder Li's telepathy can take advantage of the opportunity and spy on the other party's privacy.
Get hold of the other party's weakness and use it as a bargaining chip in the future.
This trick was used on Alan, but the result surprised him.
The young man sitting across from the round table still had an indifferent look on his face, with no ripples in his heart.
Elder Li tried to read people's minds but to no avail, and he couldn't help but get angry!
From his perspective, Allen is a scumbag with no moral or ethical bottom line. How can he have a clear conscience? !
Unless he is evil by nature and regards evil behavior as justified!
The devil, of course, does not think that doing evil is wrong, but takes pride in it!
The more Elder Li thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth!
"You are evil by nature and have ulterior motives!"
"You failed the character test! Get out of here!"
Having endured it to this point, Alan couldn't bear it anymore.
He frowned slightly and looked straight at the furious Elder Li.
"Elder, you said that I am evil by nature and have ulterior motives. Where is the evidence?"
"How is it possible for a person to have never done anything wrong since childhood?!"
Elder Raccoon roared.
"I can't see that you have any remorse or guilt, which just proves that there is something wrong with you!"
"Nine out of ten times, he's an undercover agent sent by Red Moon Island!"
Alan couldn't help but laugh.
"If I were an undercover agent, I wouldn't have a clear mind and no guilt, making myself look suspicious."
"Maybe you are playing hard to get and doing the opposite." Elder Li speculated sinisterly.
In the same room, the other five candidates had different expressions when they saw the tension between Alan and Elder Li getting stronger and stronger.
Except for Renee who seemed confused and worried, the other four people were mostly watching the show and gloating.
Alan didn't want to continue playing the protagonist of a farce, so he took out Sister Lion's letter again and put it on the table.
"Elder, I have a handwritten letter from Ms. Maria."
"She is Maria, nicknamed 'Lion Girl', a disciple of Master Shiva, the head of the Cat Academy."
Alan said calmly.
"Maria is my step-sister."
"In this letter, she endorsed my origins."
"So, I can't be a spy."
After hearing what he said, Elder Li's expression changed from gloomy to bright.
The results of the mind reading showed that everything Allen said was true.
He even downplayed the depth of his relationship with Maria in a modest way.
Elder Tanuki certainly knew how hot-tempered Maria's temper was.
If I drive away the lover she is fanatically obsessed with, we are bound to create deep hatred.
Elder Li hesitated.
Is it necessary to hesitate, to control Alan, to get angry with a junior, and to offend the direct disciple of the head of the Cat Academy?
“Ahem…”
Matthew suddenly started to cough dryly.
"Brother Alan, why did you take out the recommendation letter again?"
"Don't you remember the lesson we learned before?"
"The iron-faced and impartial Elder Li will not fall for this!"
"You'd better put the recommendation letter away quickly, or you'll get deducted another ten points!"
"Haha... who said it wasn't?"
Linda also has an unbalanced mentality and speaks in a sarcastic tone.
"Alan has a letter of recommendation, and I have a letter of recommendation."
"Elder, there shouldn't be any discrimination, right?"
"After all, the elder himself said that we should treat everyone equally!"
Alan looked at the two of them, speechless for a moment.
There are such people in the world who always do things that harm others and benefit themselves.
Elder Li was squeezed by Matthew and Linda and was unable to back down. He had to grit his teeth and maintain the character he had created.
Even if it means offending Maria!
"You kid, you have a sinister heart!"
“A failure means a failure!”
"Even if you move the chief seat here, you can't pass this test of mine!"
Alan could no longer bear it, and his words became more aggressive.
"Excuse me, elder, what is the nature of mind?"
"What is the standard for evaluating whether one's character is good or bad?"
“How much empirical data supports this set of evaluation criteria?”
"I have never done anything wrong, yet you say I am evil."
"Is it something to be proud of if you have done something wrong?"
"Excuse me, but you are just making up a false accusation!"
"How dare you!" Elder Li was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Who do you think you are, kid? How dare you talk to me like that!"
Just as he was about to explode, a ball of light suddenly appeared in the air.
In the center of the light ball, the flashing lion emblem is clearly Maria's secret mark!
Alan held the ball of light and read the letter from Sister Lion. He then replied and confessed that he had encountered some minor troubles.
"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it!"
Maria, who was supervising an exam in another examination room, angrily sent a letter directly to Elder Tanuki.
"Old cat! You don't have to give me face, I don't care."
"But I remind you that Alan is of the bloodline of the Demon Leopard, and has superior qualifications."
"He is only seventeen years old, and his cultivation has reached the third level!"
"I have already reported Allen's matter to Master."
"Master is quite interested in him, you can decide for yourself!"
After reading Maria's letter, Elder Li couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat off his face.
Now things got serious...
He just said that it would be useless even if the abbot came.
But that's just talk after all!
He really dares to drive away the genius that the chief has high hopes for. From now on, he can forget about staying in the cat academy!
Elder Li is no longer the impulsive young man of youth and now knows what is important and what is not.
He sighed and silently gave Alan a perfect score of 100.
As for the protests of other candidates...
He could only put on a shameless face and pretend to be deep and prevaricate:
“Fairness is indeed important.”
"But unfortunately, fairness is not the only thing that matters in this world."
“Maybe, this is life.”
…
The character test is just the first step.
There will be actual combat tests later, which will be the highlight.
Cat House, Sanhua Dojo.
The spacious courtyard is paved with large flat tiles.
The floor tiles come in three colors - yellow, black and white.
The colorful floor tiles are laid in an alternating pattern, just like the fur color of a calico cat.
There are sparsely planted bodhi trees around the courtyard wall.
Each plant is tall and straight, with green shade like a canopy.
Under the thickest tree, a long table and two chairs were placed.
There is a first aid kit on the table, which can be used when the candidates are beaten black and blue.
The two examiners sat in armchairs, enjoying the cool breeze.
Beyond everyone's expectations.
In the examination room of the Cat Academy, the examiner is not a cat-type warlock.
Both examiners were eighteen years old, younger than most candidates.
The bald young man in a green robe is tall and strong, with eyebrows as green as bodhi leaves!
This man's name is Baker, the deacon of the Bear Courtyard.
He looks a little scary, but has a gentle gaze and a kind temperament.
The young man in the yellow robe was short and stocky, with a big round face, round eyes, a double chin, and a simple and honest look.
This man's name is Hogg and he comes from the pig yard.
The cultivation levels of the two young examiners are both in the early third stage.
Same with Alan.
Since these two are qualified to be selected as examiners, their strength must be much stronger than the warlocks of the same level.
For the actual test, the rules are very simple.
Candidates choose an examiner and initiate a challenge.
Candidates can also form teams, two-on-two.
The time limit is five minutes. If the candidate is defeated, or the examiner is defeated by the candidate, the test will end early.
For the last case, there is no precedent.
After the assessment, scores will be given based on individual performance.
The longer you persist in the exam, the higher your score will be.
"The candidate with the highest practical score among the six candidates will be awarded an extra bottle of 'Heaven-Replenishing Potion'!"
Baker pointed to the first aid kit on the table.
Alan had heard about the Heaven-Replenishing Potion from Teacher Sora.
For first-time injectors, there is a high probability of improving blood purity.
Upgrade from low qualifications to medium qualifications, or from medium qualifications to high qualifications!
For those with superior qualifications, or bloodlines with an upper limit exceeding level five, the Heaven-Replenishing Potion is basically ineffective.
It is almost impossible for a person who comes to learn from a master with skills to have superior qualifications, let alone a high upper limit.
Otherwise, you would be respected in your original sect, so why bother changing sects and taking your skills to become a disciple?
Generally speaking, this logic holds true.
This year, among the six candidates who applied for the position of teacher with their art skills, five of them have average qualifications.
The only exception is Allen.
He is so special.
Not only does he have superior qualifications, but he also has the extremely rare bloodline of the "Magic Leopard Man"!
This was still the result of his reservations.
The true bloodline of the poisonous leopard man, created out of nothing, became his own ancestor!
It's too shocking, I dare not make it public at all!
From this perspective, the Heaven-Replenishing Potion is of the least use to Alan.
But in the long run, it is still a good idea to keep this potion and use it to replace some of the potential when fusing other bloodlines in the future.
Moreover, Alan could smell a faint, charming scent from the medicine box from a distance...
The scent of exotic ingredients!
Gulp!
Alan swallowed hard.
Sorry, other candidates please step back a little and compete for the second place!
I’ve got the heaven-replenishing potion!
The two examiners both looked difficult to deal with.
The candidates were unsure as they did not know the abilities of the two examiners in advance.
So, one-on-one or team-up doubles?
Candidates must choose their test-taking strategy carefully.
There are differences in the cultivation levels of the six candidates.
In the early stage of the third stage, Alan and Matthew.
Late second stage, Weber, Truss and Renee.
In the early stage of the second stage, there was only one Linda who was at the bottom of the list.
When forming a team, everyone considers more than just cultivation.
The eyes of the five candidates naturally focused on Alan, and they all revealed a strong desire.
Classmate Allen has a high level of cultivation and a powerful backer!
How strong is his backing?
They couldn't afford to offend the ruthless and impartial Elder Li, so they had to make an exception for him!
Even Elder Li was afraid of Allen's backers.
Baker and Hogg, two young butlers, dare they not give Alan face?
Allen came on and basically got a walk.
The two examiners did not dare to show mercy to him.
If I'm lucky enough to team up with Allen, wouldn't I be able to benefit from it?
We are not stupid.
It’s easy to understand the twists and turns here.
Therefore, Alan immediately became the popular member of the team!
"Brother Allen, you and I are both in the early stage of the third stage, so we are most suitable to form a team to challenge!"
Matthew spoke first.
Weber and Truss also put aside their pride and took the initiative to invite him.
"Brother Allen, can you please have a word with me?" Linda smiled sweetly. "I have a little secret to share with you. It will be very helpful for us to get high scores in the next exam."
"Alan... well, I know the art of healing." Renee shyly recommended herself, "Team up with me and I'll heal you."
Hu Niu's breasts are so big for a reason, she really knows how to milk...
Alan smiled politely.
"Thank you for your kindness, I need to think about it."
From the perspective of combat power matching, teaming up with Matthew seems to be the best option.
However, Alan did not forget the guy's previous sarcasm.
He doesn't like Matthew, who harms others for his own benefit.
Allen is confident of getting high scores if he challenges Baker or Hogg alone.
Why should we let Matthew take advantage and free ride?
Matthew is a scheming guy who calls himself a hero.
I would rather let the world down than have the world let me down.
It's best not to expect favors from such a person.
It is hard to say whether he would physically destroy his benefactor to completely settle this debt of favor.
Allen simply ignored Weber and Truth.
Linda is a bitch and has the weakest cultivation.
But she seemed to have something.
This woman is knowledgeable about all these tricks.
Finally, the big-breasted, brainless, silly, sweet Renee...
Alan wanted to help Renee.
This kind-hearted silly girl had a temperament that made him feel distressed and pity her.
However, Alan hardened his heart and gave up the idea.
He didn't want Renee to owe him this favor.
Otherwise, she would definitely risk her life to repay his kindness.
She is too silly, too naive, and has a heart of a saint.
Doing good things with bad intentions is the most deadly!
Alan is very good at dealing with all kinds of scheming bitches, green tea bitches, and slutty bitches, but he can't handle a true white lotus like Renee!
To be honest, he was even a little afraid of Renee.
I was afraid that this silly girl would be implicated by him and suffer misfortune in the future because of their connection, and even sacrifice her own interests for him regardless of everything...
When Alan thought about this, he felt upset!
So, he deliberately kept his distance from Renee.
Not only did he not want to help Leni, he also wanted to kick her hard on the butt, tell her to get out as soon as possible and never see her again!
The world outside is too complicated and too dangerous. Rare animals like her should have become extinct long ago.
Going home, getting married, having kids, and spending the rest of her life in peace, this is the best ending for Renee.
Baker and Hogg had already heard about the conflict between Allen and Elder Tanuki. Seeing the candidates vying to team up with Allen, it was not difficult for them to guess their plan.
Baker coughed loudly twice, attracting everyone's attention.
"Let me remind you that connections and backgrounds are useless to me and Hogg."
"We will not be particularly lenient towards a candidate just because he has a backer in the Cat Academy."
When they first heard this, Matthew and others disagreed.
Didn’t Elder Li initially establish himself as a person who was impartial and treated everyone equally?
What happened later?
Everyone saw his ugly behavior of being arrogant at first and then servile.
Hogg's eyes swept across everyone's faces, seeing through what they were thinking, and he took over the conversation with a sneer.
"Don't think we are just talking."
"Think about it for a moment. This is the Cat Academy's exam. Why are our two examiners not from the Cat Academy?"
Including Allen, the candidates had already discovered this problem and were waiting for Hogg to reveal the answer with curiosity.
“Actual testing is different from an interview.”
"In order to prevent favoritism and fraud, a cross-examination model is adopted. The cat and bear schools send people to serve as examiners for the pig school candidates."
"And so on, the cat and pig farms review the bear farms, and the pig and bear farms review the cat farms."
"Silver Moon Monastery has three branches, each independent of the other."
"You, the candidates from the Cat Academy, have nothing in common with the connections we, the examiners from the Pig Academy and the Bear Academy have in the Cat Academy."
"Baker and I are confident that we won't give anyone face!"
What Hogg said makes sense.
The attitudes of the other five candidates were divided.
Since Alan's backing was useless in this exam, Matthew's attitude towards him immediately cooled.
His cultivation level was the same as Allen's, but he was five years older than Allen and thought he had more practical experience.
Rather than teaming up with Allen and being dragged down by this young man whose hair hasn't even fully grown, it would be safer to fight alone.
Renee and Linda's attitudes did not change significantly, and they still preferred to team up with Alan first.
The most obvious change in attitude was that of Weber and Truss.
The two knew clearly that they had no competitiveness in Allen's eyes.
It's unlikely that Allen would team up with them.
Since Allen's backing can't bring any benefits, there's no need for them to bother with it.
Without any prior agreement, they turned to Renee.
"Junior sister Renee, team up with me and I will make sure you pass!"
"Just cooperate with me, Junior Sister Renee, let's work together to achieve good results!"
Before, Renee had always been the object of everyone's ridicule.
At this moment, Weber and Truss suddenly showed their courtesy to her.
She felt overwhelmed and flattered.
Alan watched this funny scene and couldn't help laughing:
"You seem to have forgotten that you were all mocking Renee not long ago?"
"When it comes time to find teammates, my body is pretty honest!"
Weber and Truss looked embarrassed.
The reason why they chose Renee and tried to recruit her to form a team was not only because of her strength, but also because they had to consider whether her teammates were trustworthy.
Except for Renee, is there anyone among you who deserves the word "good person"?
Everyone's character has been fully demonstrated in the previous illusion test.
Except for Renee, who isn't selfish?
There's nothing wrong with laughing at Renee for being so silly and having a virgin heart.
But when the time comes to find a partner to work with, can you still smile?
No matter how naive or naive Renee is, at least she has a kind heart.
She will not take the initiative to betray her teammates, and at critical moments, she is even willing to sacrifice herself to protect her teammates.
To put it bluntly, if you have someone like Leni as your teammate, not only can you trust her with all your strength, but you can also sell her out when necessary and push her out to be a meat shield or a scapegoat.
Such a perfect teammate is hard to find even with a lantern.
Weber and Truss, two smart guys, had exactly this in mind.
Unfortunately, Renee isn't as stupid as they think.
She has been taken advantage of and cheated many times since she was a child, so she must have learned some lessons.
Especially after Alan's reminder, Renee immediately came to her senses.
There is no love without reason in this world.
Two men who looked down on her not long ago suddenly showed their affection to her. What good intentions could they have?
The flattered look on Renee's face turned into a look of helplessness that was used to it.
She rejected the advances of Weber and Truth, and ultimately chose to challenge the examiner alone.
In the practical exam, no one wants to take the lead.
They all expect others to take the test first, so they can watch from the sidelines and see the examiner’s ability.
The more intelligence you collect, the more strategies you will have.
However, no one is stupid, so someone has to go first, right?
If you don't go, I won't go either, and the atmosphere will be awkward.
In the end, the kindest person will have to suffer the consequences.
Renee was the first to appear.
The other five candidates watched from the sidelines.
Renee's eyes wandered between Baker and Hogg.
Finally, the focus stops on Hogg.
She looked a little scared by Baker's big bald head and green eyebrows.
In comparison, Hogg, with his festive look, seemed easier to deal with.
"Alas, it seems that I have been treated as a soft persimmon again."
Hogg stood up from the armchair angrily, turned around and said to his partner: "Give this Renee 20 points."
"I've already made a note of it!"
Baker, roster and quill in hand, added 20 to Renee's name.
“Bonus points…?”
Renee looked confused.
The candidates on the sidelines were also in an uproar!
"Ahem! It's like this. In previous years, the order of appearance was decided by drawing lots. This year, the rules were temporarily changed. The first person to appear will get an extra 20 points."
Baker said nonchalantly.
"Why?!" Linda screamed angrily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier if there was such a rule?"
"Yes! Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"The draw was going fine, why did you suddenly change the rules?!"
"You are clearly biased towards Renee!"
"This is unfair! The exam room is shady!"
"We want to protest! We want to sue!"
Matthew, Weber and Truth were also filled with indignation.
Allen did not join in their protest.
I thought it was funny at first, but then I thought about it and felt depressed.
Silly girl got 20 points for nothing, maybe she can pass the exam!
This is not the result he wanted to see.
Baker noticed the change in his expression and gave him a curious look.
"Alan, what do you think about this matter?"
"Brother Baker, I think this is fair."
Alan replied expressionlessly.
"Everyone knows that the one who goes on stage first suffers the most."
"So it's reasonable that some compensation should be given in terms of scores."
"The question is not whether it is reasonable or not!" Weber interrupted, "but why didn't you say it earlier!"
Alan glanced at him, worried about his intelligence.
"If we announce this rule at the beginning, won't you all rush to go on stage first?"
"So before the exam begins, are you going to hold an internal selection competition to decide who will go first?"
"When things get tough, only Leni is willing to be the first to take the blame."
"If there's an advantage to be gained, won't you all fight over it?"
"So, this rule, which is kept secret , is precisely to ensure the fairness of the exam and to maintain order in the exam room."
Weber and others were speechless.
Renee turned her head and looked at Alan, her big watery eyes showing gratitude.
Of all the candidates, only Alan had never mocked her.
This handsome boy just stood up for her.
She keeps it all in mind.
Alan noticed her strange gaze and felt a slight headache.
"Alan, you understand this principle, why don't you come out before Renee?" Hogg asked.
“Because I also realized it later.”
Allen freely admitted that he wasn't that smart.
Renee blinked her eyes and suddenly her IQ came online!
"Examiners, if I find a teammate to take the test with me, can each of us get 20 extra points?"
"It's not 20 points." Hogg shook his finger. "If two people come together, each person can only get 10 points."
"Add 10 points...that's a lot!"
Renee muttered.
Seeing her like this, Alan suddenly had a strong ominous premonition!
This silly girl, could it be that... ?
What you fear will come to you.
Renee turned around and looked at him with joy on her face.
"Brother Allen, come team up with me! You can also add 10 points!"
