The Fourth Floor

Because he was the eldest son of the Meng Household, Meng Jingzhou knew a great deal about intelligence concerning the modern cultivation world—more, even, than Lu Yang.

But when it came to ancient history, he was completely in the dark.

And considering that the ancient history known to modern cultivators differed greatly from the real ancient history, that only made things worse.

There was no need to compare. He advised Lu Yang to skip straight to the end.

Just as he'd expected, Lu Yang answered all ten questions correctly, earning a perfect score and setting a record.

What he hadn't expected was that his own score of zero would rank second.

Luo Hong gave Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou an approving look.

"You two have the first- and second-highest scores in history. Excellent."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

What Meng Jingzhou didn't know was that everyone who had ever made it to the third floor had been an outstanding prodigy among prodigies. They were learned and well-versed in history, ancient and modern. Once the rapid-fire round began, each was absolutely confident in their knowledge, and they rushed to answer first.

And that was how they ended up with negative scores.

One wrong answer might have been an accident, so they tried to claw their scores back by continuing to buzz in. The more they answered, the lower their scores fell.

By the time all ten questions were over, it had become a contest to see who could rack up the most negative points.

Luo Hong pointed at Meng Jingzhou, Jiang Shishi, and Su Lian'er. "The three of you will receive rewards."

Luo Hong snapped her fingers, and treasures piled up into a glittering golden mountain. Every item was priceless, worth a fortune on the market, and the crowd eagerly scrambled for them.
