Elective Course Plan

The Cloud Firmament Sect is very aloof... extremely aloof...

Especially the place where the Cloud Firmament Sect recruits disciples, not only is the building tall, but it's also incredibly deserted right now...

Highlighting a tall and aloof demeanor...

Ling Su was personally overseeing the recruitment of disciples in Cloud Ridge City, but Ling Su was so angry he was about to pee his pants.

I don't know who the hell leaked this news, saying that the Cloud Firmament Sect isn't recruiting any disciples this year!

Upon hearing this news, Ling Su immediately ordered all the spies of the Cloud Firmament Sect to investigate... and to find the mastermind behind it all.

However, Ling Su felt that the one targeting the Cloud Firmament Sect in this way must be Chu Xinghe.

But as the investigation progressed... something seemed a little off...

Spies have discovered that the person spreading this news came from Martial Emperor City... it seems to have been arranged by Zheng Yu?

Upon hearing this, Ling Su slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

Zheng Yu, you little bastard, how could you be so vicious? It must have been Chu Xinghe who ordered him to do this. Everyone knows that Zheng Yu is completely subservient to Chu Xinghe!

But just as Ling Su was pondering whether or not to send a message to Cheng Xiaotian via spirit bird, another message arrived from the scouts.

What the heck?

Did the Star Moon Sect also participate?

And the Heavenly Sword Alliance?

Is Jade Void Palace also spreading rumors?

But the Vast Heaven Sect was the only one that did nothing?

Hearing this Ling Su flew into a rage!

It was indeed Chu Xinghe who did it!

Hearing Ling Su's words, the spies were stunned... Um... Elder, were you even listening to us?

Of the Ten Great Sects, only the Vast Heaven Sect didn't participate... the others all did... How did you come to believe it was Chu Xinghe who did it?

The spies boldly reminded Ling Su that there was no evidence to prove that Chu Xinghe was involved in the matter.

Ling Su slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed, "What do you guys know?!"

As the saying goes, what is real can be made to appear unreal, and what is unreal can be made to appear real. Chu Xinghe is a man of almost supernatural intelligence. He always does things in a wildly imaginative way. If you really find out about him, then I don't think it was Chu Xinghe who did it.

Even you pig-brains could figure it out, so how could it be Chu Xinghe's doing?

It is precisely because you have not discovered anything that this proves that Chu Xinghe must have done this. Chu Xinghe is hiding in the shadows and will not give you any chance to discover it!

The spies. "..."

Although the spies were speechless, the elder's words seemed to make sense... after all, that was Chu Xinghe...

Therefore, the incident targeting our Cloud Firmament Sect must have been orchestrated by Chu Xinghe!

Ling Su waved away all the spies, and a slight smile appeared on his contorted face.

"Hmph! Chu Xinghe... No matter how cunning and treacherous you are, you are still one move behind me. The pawns I painstakingly arranged over fifteen years failed to infiltrate the Vast Heaven Sect, but this time you personally sent them into the Dark Moon Palace. Wei Xin is the nail I, Ling Su, planted deep within the Vast Heaven Sect!"

"Once Wei Xin establishes himself in the Vast Heaven Sect, all of your Vast Heaven Sect's secrets will be firmly in my grasp!"

Thinking of this, Ling Su quickly contacted Wei Xin secretly, first praising Wei Xin, and then Ling Su expressed his opinion.

Wei Xin... you've already infiltrated the Dark Moon Palace... I've heard that the Formless Heart Sutra of the Vast Heaven Sect originated from the Dark Moon Palace, so Wei Xin, shouldn't you get your hands on the Formless Heart Sutra?

After delivering the message, Ling Su sat down, sipping tea and smiling. "Little Chu Xinghe dares to target our Cloud Firmament Sect?"

Hmph! They're utterly courting death!

The Six-Point Assessment was accepted by all sects in the world in a very short time.

Also accepted was the theory of the mathematical genius Ma Liang that 60 points is greater than 90 points...

To be honest, when everyone first heard this, their reaction was, "What the hell is this nonsense... Isn't this utter rubbish?"

However, after much deliberation, each sect still couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation to refute Ma Liang.

From a particularly peculiar perspective, Ma Liang's statement wasn't entirely wrong...

Of course, there are also talented people on all sides. Faced with the theory proposed by the arithmetic prodigy Ma Liang that 60 points is greater than 90 points, the prodigies on all sides put forward various solutions to refute Ma Liang.

But faced with these rebuttals, Ma Liang simply said one thing, "I don't understand what you're saying. Just tell me if the one who scored 60 points has six items that are better than the one who scored 90 points, and that's it!"

I'm better than you in six out of ten areas, so what makes you think I'm not better than you?

Those so-called mathematical masters, you better all shut the hell up, or I, Ma Liang, will come and challenge you, you believe me!

Faced with Ma Liang's shameless methods, the mathematics masters immediately chose to remain silent.

Even if you can outwit Ma Liang, can you actually beat Ma Liang in a fight?

Can't afford to offend... Can't afford to offend...

It's not just the world's top mathematicians who are untouchable... but also Chu Xinghe...

Chu Xinghe stated, "I really didn't offend anyone that day... My proposed Six-Point Assessment was truly intended to give everyone a chance..."

I really just want to recruit young people who score a normal six points...

What? You say our Haotian City can't hold everyone? That's perfect! I can spend money to expand Haotian City... My little scheme is already running smoothly, okay?

Chu Xinghe's side is considering whether to expand Haotian City tenfold. If that doesn't work, even a hundredfold expansion wouldn't be too much for our Vast Heaven Sect to handle.

Chu Xinghe was calculating how many resources would be consumed if Haotian City were expanded a hundredfold.

But as he was calculating, he ended up being calculated away by the mathematical genius Ma Liang...

What do you mean by 60 points being greater than 90 points?

Is this even a math problem?

This is clearly fallacy and heresy, okay?

Have you all gone mad, you mathematical masters? Are you trying to teach mathematics to Ma Liang?

Ma Liang doesn't know anything about math... Ma Liang can't even solve numbers over one hundred, okay?

Listen to those people outside... what kind of Ma Liang theory is that...

What?! Ma Liang was actually a master of mathematics?! Have you no shame?

Where the hell do I see any connection to mathematics in this? Ma Liang is just spouting complete nonsense!

But Ma Liang was talking complete nonsense; the Six-Point Assessment is truly absurd...

On the first day the Six-Point Assessment was announced, three young people received full marks in all six areas.

The six-point assessment system proved to be truly brutal, because these three individuals possessed abilities that were absolutely freakish.

The first one is a young man skilled in alchemy. His abilities in this field are practically maxed out. Even Chu Xinghe, after seeing him, could only remark that this guy is comparable to the geniuses of the Muyue Kingdom...

The second one was even more impressive; his elemental control was off the charts, and his lightning throws were incredibly flashy.

When Ma Liang told Elder He about this, Elder He immediately offered to take him on as a personal disciple and teach him how to throw grenades... and the Thunder War Dance...

The last one was somewhat unexpected for Chu Xinghe.

Fatso Hu Wenhai?

This guy, who was initially offered exemption from both rounds by Chu Xinghe, must have had nothing better to do than come back for another test without a second thought.

But fine, you took the test, but what the hell is with you getting perfect scores in all six sections?

Fortunately, none of Hu Wenhai's six tests seemed to have anything to do with talismans at all.

However... what Chu Xinghe found most unbelievable was that Hu Wenhai, a fat man weighing over 260 pounds, got a perfect score on the speed test?

Are you sure this isn't fake?

I knew he was fast at making talismans... but I never imagined he was fast at other things too.

Chu Xinghe then even had Hu Wenhai retest the speed test... But when he saw a fat man weighing over 260 pounds get a perfect score in the speed test, Chu Xinghe's eyes welled up with tears...

Chu Xinghe had always heard people talk about a nimble fat person, and he wondered how a fat person could be nimble.

Today, Chu Xinghe witnessed... this fat man was more than just agile...

But then again, being fast isn't necessarily a bad thing... Hu Wenhai's speed isn't just reflected in other aspects; he excels in speed in every area.

For example, making talismans... it's incredibly fast...

Regardless of whether you fail or not, just tell me how fast or slow it was.

If the speed is fast enough, wouldn't Hu Wenhai also consume energy quickly when making talismans?

So, from this perspective Chu Xinghe agrees!

Before you suddenly comprehend the power of talismans, you will always be my lucky charm, Chu Xinghe!

The first round of disciple assessments continued. Although the six-point assessment method had thwarted his plans, Chu Xinghe was not discouraged.

On the contrary, you can't always think of things in a positive light... you have to think of them in a negative light.

You know, back in the day, our Vast Heaven Sect would recruit nine-tenths of the best disciples. These nine-tenths disciples were all-rounders, right? So no matter how you arranged their roles, they could always demonstrate their value in various fields.

Without a word, he managed to make Senior Brother Xinghe's backstabbing person numb.

But now we're recruiting these six-point disciples. Although they excel in some areas, they also have many shortcomings...

Chu Xinghe summarized his past failures, which he attributed to a problem with direction.

No matter what direction you set for an all-rounder, he can guide you perfectly... But if we change our perspective, it would be much easier if these junior brothers each had their own shortcomings.

From now on, not only will our Vast Heaven Sect disciples have to major in this course, but we will also offer an elective course.

You're skilled in using elements... You were taken in as Elder He's personal disciple, right... You're unparalleled in your talent for throwing grenades, aren't you...?

Senior Brother Xinghe can't help you with cultivation, but Senior Brother Xinghe can help you get an elective course.

Are you skilled in alchemy?

What? You have absolutely no talent in this area?

My dear junior brother! As the saying goes, what determines how much a bucket can hold is not the longest plank, but the shortest one!

So since you have a weakness, you have to learn it!

So what if you don't have talent? Our Vast Heaven Sect has the resources...

You can just practice until you master it!

What? You're worried about depleting the sect's resources?

You don't need to worry about this at all. Our Vast Heaven Sect has become incredibly wealthy in the last two years!

If you can keep consuming our sect's resources, forget about sect punishment, I'll even have Ma Liang kowtow to you, Senior Brother Xinghe!

Ma Liang, do you think you've betrayed Senior Brother Xinghe this time?

Hmph! You're so wrong. Senior Brother Xinghe had already planned this out. Our Vast Heaven Sect has already chosen this elective course!

Give me what I'm not good at...

Tell me, how am I supposed to lose this game?!
