Second Examination

"Is this the Water Spirit Law?"

Yun Ye clearly felt the wonder of the Spirit Laws in this world.

Compared to things like Fireball Spell and Wind Blade Spell, the Spirit Laws of this world are clearly more inclined towards freely controlling the corresponding attributes!

This move of using water flow to instantly send the test papers to them was simply stunning, full of visual shock!

In simple terms...

So cool!

Yun Ye had already imagined his future of freely controlling flames.

The feeling of fire streaks across the sky doesn't seem to be much worse than the blue, clear water flow?

After fantasizing for a few seconds.

He lowered his head.

And began to write.

Yun Ye had gotten used to using the writing brush in this world after a year of practice, and he quickly answered the questions.

The second exam questions.

Included the Qi Nurturing Technique.

Included Body Refinement Technique.

Included Tiger Fist.

There were also various poetry fill-in-the-blanks.

Among them, there were even a few multiple-choice questions testing political issues, such as who one should be loyal to.

Yun Ye had always let this go in one ear and out the other during class, but those young children might not.

The younger they are, the easier it is to brainwash them.

From this, one can know why younger children have a greater advantage in school.

Sooner or later, they will be one of their own, so naturally, they will be treated better.

Yun Ye wrote furiously, without any reservations.

He was familiar with all of this; reading so many books was not for nothing.

"What is a Spirit Root? Answer: The foundation of cultivation, the aptitude to extract the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth."

"What is an attribute? Answer: The inclination of the Spirit Root; possessing what attribute allows one to extract the spiritual Qi of that attribute from heaven and earth."

"What are the five major attributes? Answer: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth."

"What is the Lightning attribute? Answer: A fusion attribute of Metal and Water."

"What is the Ice attribute? Answer: A fusion attribute of Earth and Water."

"What is a Spirit Law? Answer: A method of utilizing the Spirit Root attribute."

"How are Spirit Root aptitudes graded? Answer: Near None, Extremely Poor, Poor, Average, Good, Excellent, Spirit Body..."

Yun Ye paused after answering this.

Yun Ye had never been able to correlate this grading system.

Is it E (Near None), D (Extremely Poor), C (Poor), B (Average)?

Shi Baiyan had said that Yun Ye's Grade D Spirit Root was extremely poor, far worse than his.

But Shi Baiyan's Spirit Root panel showed C, which should only be one grade higher than Yun Ye's, meaning "Poor."

This situation could be explained as Shi Baiyan exaggerating.

Or, does Grade C include both Poor and Average levels?

And Shi Baiyan just happened to have an average quality Spirit Root?

Yun Ye shook his head.

Although he had learned about the Spirit Root quality classification by reading books and attending classes, there was no detailed explanation.

He couldn't make the correspondence.

Half an hour.

It arrived quickly.

Similarly, the examiner raised a hand expressionlessly, and the water surged, bypassing everyone and rolling up the test papers.

Then, they were neatly stacked in front of him.

Once the test papers were completed, it was noon, and everyone, without exception, was hungry due to the Qi Nurturing Technique.

But the exam had to continue, so everyone had to endure it.

After the examiner collected the test papers, he directly skipped the second test of Qi Nurturing Technique and Tiger Fist assessment, only changing the scores slightly, after all, the first test had already measured it, there was no reason to retest.

"Tester: Yang Shi."

"Main Course: Qi Nurturing Technique"

"Mastery: Poor."

"Effect: Poor."

"Cultivation: Average."

"Sub-course: Tiger Fist."

"Mastery: Poor."

"Evaluation: Grade D, unqualified."

The score of the first test was greatly reduced in the second test, Yun Ye was obviously still far behind.

With the test papers and main and sub-courses settled, the last was the demon knowledge Q&A.

This time, the Q&A was conducted one-on-one, with only three breaths to consider each question, and it was counted as wrong if the time was exceeded.

Yun Ye wasn't confident about this form of examination either. Although he had memorized a lot of information about demons, it didn't mean he could apply it flexibly. Three breaths were too short.

"You are a Fire attribute Spirit Root Awakener. You encounter a Green Lantern Ghost in an open space somewhere in the middle of the night. How should you respond?"

Green Lantern Ghost, a low-level demon, has a illusory body. Only special weapons and Lightning or Fire Spirit Law can harm it, and Lightning and Fire Spirit Law have a restraining effect, causing great damage.

Normally, a Fire attribute Spirit Root Awakener could solve the Green Lantern Ghost by throwing Fire Spirit Law from a distance.

But the venue is an open space, which means the Green Lantern Ghost's green light irradiation range is expanded and cannot be avoided.

Even if the Spirit Root Awakener is illuminated by the green light, they will be unable to move, greatly reducing their chances of winning.

So the correct approach should be...

"Lie down, reduce breathing frequency, and wait for the Green Lantern Ghost to leave."

"Correct. Green Lantern Ghosts never act alone. Seeing one means a group is hiding nearby. Without occupying a favorable position, the only option is to retreat!"

Green Lantern Ghosts have no physical body, they cannot see or hear, and rely entirely on the perception of life fluctuations to hunt.

And breathing, which exchanges matter with the outside world, is a very obvious life characteristic.

For Green Lantern Ghosts, the faster a life breathes, the more blood energy it can absorb, and if it's too low, it has no value for absorption.

So once breathing is slowed down, the Green Lantern Ghost will "not see" it, avoiding a meaningless battle.

Yun Ye kept answering questions, but the demon questions were much more difficult than the test paper exam. He had never heard of many things, and he failed to answer them one after another.

When the exam ended, Yun Ye did a quick calculation and knew that he would definitely fail, and couldn't help showing a look of regret.

Completing the second exam in advance has benefits. He could exchange for a better room and get an extra portion of Grade D Superior Food every day, which would be of great help to cultivation. Otherwise, why would he study so hard?

"I'm still suffering from not being literate. Too much time is spent on learning to read and write."

Yun Ye took a deep breath and was not discouraged. He walked out of the examination room with Wang Yao and hurried off to eat.

Since he failed the second exam, there was naturally no need to participate in the third exam.

In fact, out of more than one hundred and sixty people, only about thirty or forty were still participating in the third exam, and even among these people, many were just trying to adapt in advance and had no confidence in passing.

"Shi Tou, how were your results in the Qi Nurturing Technique?"

Wang Yao said, handing his report card to Yun Ye and exchanging report cards.

"Examinee: Wang Yao."

"Subject: First Exam."

"Course: Qi Nurturing Technique."

"Mastery: Inferior."

"Effect: Good."

"Cultivation: Good."

"Supplementary Course: Tiger Fist."

"Mastery: Good."

"Evaluation: Grade B, qualified."

Yun Ye was a little surprised. Wang Yao's Qi Nurturing Technique's 'effect' evaluation was actually two grades higher than his. No wonder he could reach Foundation Establishment in a year. He was very suitable for cultivating the Qi Nurturing Technique.

Even with Tiger Fist, Wang Yao's evaluation was better.

"Inferior effect, good cultivation? Shi Tou, have you cultivated the Qi Nurturing Technique before?"

Wang Yao scratched his head.

"Yes."

Yun Ye nodded.

"No way... 'Inferior' is only 50% of the 'Good' cultivation speed. Although you are two years younger than me, the difficulty is actually higher!"

Wang Yao roughly calculated that it might take Yun Ye four or five years to cultivate to Small Success, which was too long.

Would there really be time to awaken his Spirit Root later?

"So, make money."

Yun Ye took the food and swallowed it in large mouthfuls, without worrying about anything.

Wang Yao admired this mentality and could only shake his head, eating heartily as well.
