Hong Wuya smiled faintly, unbothered to explain. After accepting the challenge from Xie Yuan last month, Hong Wuya had violently thrashed Xie Yuan to the point his parents couldn't recognize him. Everything was due to Yun Lintian's help. In his opinion, how could someone with high talent in medical profound art fail in the knowledge test?
"Cheh, stingy." Nangong Xi clicked her tongue annoyingly and turned toward the square.
Slowly, more and more people finished up their test papers, some excited, some had a disappointed expression.
Finally, the academy elder stood up on the stage and signaled the end of the knowledge test.
"Everyone put the brush down and hand the papers to the helpers nearby. Afterward, you can go back to the rest area and wait for further instruction."
The outer court students immediately moved forward to collect the test papers at high speed. Following that, all the participants gradually returned to the rest area. Along the way, they kept talking about the questions, and one after another became nervous upon discovering they might answer it wrong.
Yun Lintian looked at this scene with a smile. The scene was similar to the time he did an exam on Earth. Everyone would ask each other to confirm whether they answered it right.
"Looking at your expression, it seems you are not worried at all." Bai Qingyi approached Yun Lintian and asked.
Yun Lintian shrugged slightly, as it was obvious.
As for Yang Chen and Qin Yuyan, they were no problem scoring more than eighty percent.
"Why I didn't see any important figure around here?" Sitting on the chair, Yun Lintian asked. Usually, in such a big event like this, an upper-echelon figure should appear here, but he didn't see anyone except for an outer court elder.
Qin Yuyan answered. "They won't come until the third test. However, they are likely to monitor us for all this time. That's what I heard."
Yun Lintian slowly nodded his head and glanced around until he discovered there was indeed an observing formation in this place.
"Brother Yun." At this moment, Chu Heng and Chu Mi walked toward Yun Lintian with a smile. Under Yun Lintian's guidance during the past month, their foundations were rock-solid, as Chu Heng had stepped into the first level of Origin Profound Realm while Chu Mi had reached the tenth level of Spirit Profound Realm. If they didn't commit any grave mistake, they should be able to enter the top thousand rankings at the end.
"Miss Qin, Miss Bai." Chu Heng and Chu Mi turned to greet Qin Yuyan and Bai Qingyi. They were pretty familiar as the latter two came to Heavenly Cloud restaurant often.
"Come, sit down." Bai Qingyi greeted with an enthusiastic smile. He would become happy whenever someone treated her as a woman. Meanwhile, Qin Yuyan simply gave the nod in reply.
"How is it?" Yun Lintian asked.
Chu Heng replied in a relaxed tone. "There is no problem."
"Good. For the next test, you have to be careful and watch out for the transformed profound beast." Yun Lintian gave a warning. He had told Chu Heng and Chu Mi several times about the profound beast in human form. Even though these profound beasts hadn't reached the Saint Profound Realm, they had the ability to transform with the help of Abyssal Energy.
Chu Heng and Chu Mi's expressions turned solemn as they replied. "Don't worry, Brother Yun. We know what to do."
A group of academy elders graded the tests together with great speed. It took them around an hour to grade over forty thousand test papers.
When the participants saw the academy elder appear at the entrance, their nerves instantly tensed up. The atmosphere suddenly intensified, and silence descended upon them.
"Everyone, follow me to the square. I have posted the list over there." The academy elder looked at the nervous participants with a kind smile. "For anyone who failed, you don't have to put it in your heart. The academy is not everything in your life. You can be great without it as long as you continue to strive for your goal. I wish everyone good luck."
The participants weren't reacting until the academy elder turned around and left. Coming back to their senses, they hurriedly headed toward the square. With every step they took, their hearts would thump heavily.
Yun Lintian didn't hurry to go out. He didn't want to squeeze through the crowd. Bai Qingyi and others were also the same. They waited for everyone to leave before following behind.
When everyone arrived at the square, they were immediately attracted by a gigantic wooden board that stood tall at the center. All the tables and chairs were nowhere to be seen now.
In order to make it quick, the academy elder had turned the spiritual suppressing formation off and let everyone use their Spiritual Sense to find their name on the board.
One by one, the participants scanned the board nervously while praying in their hearts.
"Hahaha! I pass!"
"Me too!"
"No! Impossible! How come there's no my name!?"
Some participants jumped up with great joy upon seeing their names. Meanwhile, those who didn't find their names on the board immediately collapsed on the ground and started wailing.
Yun Lintian looked at the contrasting scene and sighed inwardly. The world was like this. He could only hope those who failed wouldn't give up on themselves.
"Brother Yun, I and Little Mi passed the test." Chu Heng reported when he found his name and his sister's name on the board. They obtained quite good rankings, 1071st and 1014th, respectively.
"Congratulations." Yun Lintian said from the bottom of his heart. He always had a high expectation for the Chu sibling.
"What about you, Big Brother Yun?" Chu Mi asked nervously. She secretly searched for Yun Lintian's name but didn't find it.
"Let's see." Yun Lintian smiled and spread his Spiritual Sense out to cover the board.
A moment later, he smiled and said. "Found it."
"Really? Where is it?" Chu Mi was overjoyed.
Yun Lintian pointed at the leftmost of the board.. "Twentieth place."
