Volume 1 Lin Yuan Chapter 74: That Inexplicable Examination (I)
Yangchuan Town, Mo Wen Academy.
I found a random table and sat down.
He habitually crosses his hands under his nose.
Wang Chen looked around calmly.
This is an antique hall, neatly filled with antique chairs, and many people are already sitting there.
A larger table and chairs were placed in front of everyone, making the entire room look like an ancient private school.
Just now he had only walked through a shabby thatched cottage that seemed to be windy on all sides, but was inexplicably announced by a boy that he had passed the preliminary examination. He was still a little dazed and felt for the first time that the academy's selection criteria were very strange.
He saw a casual cultivator at the second level of Qi Condensation, who was not much stronger than the young man selling pornography in Qinghu Bay, passed the preliminary test.
He also saw the powerful sect disciples who were well-dressed and full of surging true energy disappear directly into the dilapidated thatched cottage.
I asked the boy out of curiosity and found out that those who did not pass the initial test would be safely transported to an unknown location.
At this moment, around him, apart from the cultivators who had passed the initial test, there were also mortals who had no true energy fluctuations at all.
"After all, Chen Shushu was right. I will eventually come to Mo Wen Academy."
What Wang Chen was worried about deep in his heart finally became a reality. No matter how much he focused on basic practice, it would not be possible to make up for the problems in the technique itself.
For example, it is not possible to extract the Yuanling Stone, which has obviously purer spiritual power, for use in cultivation.
For example, I am now unable to continue to strengthen my ancestral energy and improve my cultivation level by devouring ordinary spirit stones and demon cores.
After a night of hard thinking, Wang Chen was almost certain that there was a gap in his practice. His ancestral energy was now in an awkward position, neither high nor low. Low-level energy could not increase his strength, and when faced with high-level energy forms, he was unable to devour them due to his lack of ability.
The disadvantage of independent cultivators being short of guidance from famous teachers compared to cultivators in large sects has become apparent.
Therefore, his goal is to find the cause of the interruption so that he can continue practicing.
As for the exam, Wang Chen thought it was a no-brainer and no one else could do it better than him.
He couldn't say about the cultivation world, but he had already experienced how backward the culture of the cultivation world was.
At this moment, he seemed to be waiting to take an unfair test with a group of elementary school students and then win.
"There are too many unfairnesses in the world, and I feel so sorry for these candidates who took the same exam." Wang Chen sighed slightly.
At this time, a fat man with a big beard and wearing a scholar's gown walked to the table in front, attracting everyone 's attention.
"alright!"
He shouted loudly, and there was silence all around.
"Put away all your reference books. Isn't it a little late to read now?"
"As the saying goes, small tests mean small play, big tests mean big play, no tests mean no play, don't you understand such a simple truth?"
"What?! There are books?"
"Is there a reference book for this exam?" Wang Chen was distracted for a second and turned around to take a look.
There were actually several young men dressed as scholars around who were very reluctantly putting away yellowed books. The books seemed to have been rubbed many times, and some of the handwriting was unclear, but Wang Chen was sharp-eyed and vaguely saw "xx exam xx simulation" written on them in the common language.
"So professional?" Wang Chen took a breath. Chen Shushu said that passing the exam of Mo Wen Academy is a very valuable addition to one's resume. He has always wanted to enter the Tianji Sect, which specializes in intelligence on strange news in the cultivation world, and requires entrants to pass this exam.
Even if one has no cultivation experience, one can be accepted by the cultivation world after passing the exam, engage in respectable industries, and receive considerable rewards.
Originally, Wang Chen thought that what Chen Shushu said was exaggerated, but seeing that the reference book was so regular, it was obvious that this exam was just like the college entrance examination and the postgraduate entrance examination. What a long industrial chain it is!
"Now, prepare to answer the questions. The person with the highest score will be eligible to enter the library for a month. You only need to write the answers on the spirit stone in front of you, or use your spiritual consciousness to put it into it, and the examiner will know the answers."
"Can you only check for one month? But that's enough." Wang Chen nodded slightly. Although he took the exam without preparation, the result was inevitable.
"Here is the first question." The bearded man looked around.
"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful saint who was poisoned by an evil sect and was locked up in an evil sect. It was said that only a passionate kiss from a young cultivator could wake her up. Later, a young cultivator with extraordinary talent and talent destroyed the evil sect and rescued the saint. However, after he woke her up with a kiss, she killed him. Why?"
Wang Chen's eyes suddenly widened.
What kind of perverted topic is this?
Why?
How would I know why!
A beautiful woman has been bewitched by an evil sect for so many years. God knows what happened. There are still people with extraordinary talents who want to save her? Did someone kick his head?
Wang Chen was going crazy, but he saw that the candidates around him had closed their eyes and were thinking, and with smiles on their faces, they were focusing their minds on the special spirit stones in front of them.
"No way, you guys are treating this kind of bullshit question as if it's easy to get points?"
"No, this is obviously a question from the exam reference book!"
Wang Chen remained calm, his eyes slightly turned, and he saw the scholar next to him who looked confident and nodded while answering the questions.
"Looks like a top student."
Wang Chen began to decipher the scholar's handwriting, although he never thought that he, who had always taken exams based on his ability, would one day have to take an exam based on his eyesight.
"Because the young cultivator has bad breath."
…
"What!" Wang Chen narrowed his eyes and his heart was shocked.
"How can these people have such a big imagination?"
Should I die if I have bad breath? Should I be killed? Wang Chen wanted to grab the scholar's hair and slam his head against the table, but at this moment he had no choice but to find someone else to solve the problem.
"Because the man used his tongue to touch the saint's teeth."
…
"So, is that using your tongue as a toothbrush? That's a bit disgusting. Xiaoyao stuck out her tongue and shook it a few times."
Wang Chen was silent.
"Damn it, these guys are obviously here to make fun of me. I have to rely on myself." He gritted his teeth.
"There is one minute left to answer the questions. Hurry up if you haven't answered yet."
The bearded examiner paced back and forth with a big belly, speaking in a haughty manner.
Wang Chen gritted his teeth and injected his spiritual thoughts into the special spirit stone in front of him.
"This saint girl is a pervert. After she killed this young cultivator, she wanted to wait until the next young cultivator arrived. Then she could kiss another cultivator again."
When Xiaoyao saw Wang Chen's answer, she was stunned and astonished.
"Okay, time to answer the questions."
"The correct answer is: this young cultivator has bad breath, and he used his tongue to touch the Saint's teeth."
"You get 10 points if you answer correctly, and 5 points if you answer half of the questions correctly," said the bearded man with bulging eyes.
Snap! Wang Chen clenched his fists tightly, and his joints made a crisp sound.
However, what is even more heartbreaking is yet to come.
"Pfft~ There are actually people saying that this saint girl is a pervert. After she killed this young cultivator, she wanted to wait until the next young cultivator came so that she could kiss another cultivator again."
The bearded man seemed to have seen something funny and said it in a sarcastic tone.
"Hahaha." The examination room was filled with laughter. The examinees looked around, trying to see who had given such a ridiculous answer.
"I want to ask, candidates who answer questions like this, have you ever been to school?"
The bearded man glanced at Wang Chen vaguely.
"I...!" Wang Chen wanted to stab this guy to death with a sword, and then scream to the sky, what kind of bullshit question is this? !
"Calm down, this is just the first question. Calm down, there is still a chance." Wang Chen wrote the word "calm" many times in his mind and finally calmed down, but his face was as gloomy as water.
