Chapter 1130 - Familiar Name!
When I was standing at the back previously, I didn’t know that the words would appear one after another. When I saw how relaxed Chu Liuyue was, I thought…
Just as she panicked, the words on the paper had already disappeared. Very quickly, names of new herbs appeared again.
That woman then realized that she had thought things too simply as she started breaking out into a cold sweat.
“Wu Xuan is already a ninth-grade heavenly doctor, so she should pass the test more easily than Chu Yue, right?”
“Besides, she’s only 21 years old this year. In comparison, she should be as talented as Chu Yue. Perhaps Chu Yue won’t even reach Wu Xuan’s level when he’s 21.”
“That might not be so. If Elder Wan Zheng’s test could be passed so easily, why hasn’t anyone succeeded in the past three years? There were quite a few ninth-grade heavenly doctors amongst them!”
“Ah… Speaking of which, how exactly did Chu Yue pass? He’s too smart.”
Hushed discussions could be heard from behind.
Wu Xuan became increasingly nervous. Originally, she was very confident in herself and felt that she would be the most outstanding one out of all these people. So when she saw that the crowd was filled with praises for Chu Yue, she felt competitive and wanted to beat him.
However, she didn’t expect the test to be so hard!
The more she read on, the more frustrated and confused Wu Xuan got. How exactly did Chu Yue remember so many herbs in one go earlier!? He even directly found the problem!
Very quickly, the last line of words disappeared.
Wu Xuan looked at the second sheet anxiously, but she was already panicked. Even if she was very capable, she didn’t execute her full potential.
The words on the second piece of paper appeared one after another and quickly disappeared.
“Are you done looking at it?” Elder Wan Zheng glanced at the two white sheets of paper in her hand and asked.
“Y-yes…” Wu Xuan’s voice was a little empty, and her hands trembled slightly.
“Then, say it! Which is real, and which is fake?”
Wu Xuan didn’t speak for a while. It was only when Elder Wan Zheng pressed her for an answer that she clenched her teeth and said, “The first is real, and the second is… No, the second is real…”
Elder Wan Zheng didn’t speak and just stared at her.
After a while, Wu Xuan finally gave up as she lowered her head, and her cheeks flushed red.
She opened her mouth and said with much difficulty, “I-I don’t know…”
Her words were filled with indignance and humiliation. It was honestly the first time that she admitted her incapability in front of so many people.
However, Elder Wan Zheng had seen too many of such scenes. He raised his hand, and a wave of force flew out.
The two sheets of paper silently turned into dust.
“You still have a second chance.”
Wu Xuan was shocked and then recalled that Elder Bo Yan had once mentioned everyone had two chances to acknowledge a mentor!
If they failed the first time, there was still a second chance. But if they failed both times, they would have to be chased out and couldn’t officially become the academy’s student.
She bit her lips and suddenly looked at Chu Liuyue at the side. “Elder Wan Zheng, I have something to ask. Was the formula that Chu Yue saw the same level as mine?”
If it weren’t because the formula’s grade was lower and was simpler than mine, how could he so easily
“Chu Yue’s formula had a total of 198 types of herbs, and yours only had 181.” Elder Wan Zheng glanced at her and smiled. “Do you still have any questions?” Wu Xuan’s face flashed white and red as she finally replied, “… N-no…”
Then, she bit her lips and moved a step back as there seemed to be tears in her eyes. She looked at Chu Liuyue with a complicated gaze. Is this young man really… that much stronger than me?” However, Chu Liuyue didn’t take this matter to heart. This was because that familiar gaze was still on her.
She restrained the urge to look up.
“Next!”
The heavenly doctor’s side was rather quiet, but the Xuan Master side and the warrior side were much livelier.
Some succeeded, and some failed. Some were elated, but others were disappointed. However, such a scenario would happen every month, so the old students were used to it.
From the corner of her eye, Chu Liuyue saw that Lin Zhifei seemed to have passed the test.
His talent was much stronger than what he had executed, so it was naturally not a problem for him to enter Ling Xiao Academy.
Then, Luo Yanming had also passed the test successfully.
Chu Liuyue took a look and pondered for a while. She estimated that it wouldn’t be much of a problem for Zhuo Sheng and Luo Shishi.
The new students’ assessments progressed very quickly. The heavenly doctor’s side had ended the earliest—including Chu Liuyue, four out of six had passed the test. The remaining two failed regretfully. The elimination rate at the Xuan Master’s side was also a quarter. Looking at the disappointed youngsters’ faces, Chu Liuyue’s brows moved slightly. Ling Xiao Academy’s standard is indeed the highest! However, the atmosphere with intertwining happiness and sorrow quickly disappeared. This was because after the first part—the new students’ assessments—was over, more people were enthusiastically and nervously waiting for the Qing Yun Ranking!
Countless pairs of eyes focused on Dong Huang Clock Tower.
Elder Bo Yan laughed out loud. “It seems like all of you are anxious! Okay then; I’ll release the rankings now!”
Then, he waved his sleeves.
Dong Huang Clock Tower struck thrice.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
Millions of light rays flew out the next moment, and it looked brilliant!
Rows of neat names appeared on the black metallic wall through the countless rays of light.
Chu Liuyue looked up; she was looking at the heavenly doctor ranking list!
A familiar name suddenly appeared!
