79 Chapter 79: The Mystery within the Tes (1/2)
After the conflict between the nobles, Roland and Hai group settled outside of a restaurant in front of the Noble Test Center. The crowd also focused on the Noble Test Center for update regarding the test. In each side of the center, there are enormous black retangular boards called Spirit Blackboards whose function is to provide the updates in the duration of the examination.
Spirit blackboards have the names of the participants enlisted on them. After their names, another column could be seen. It shows what page the participants are currently at. Aside from these, they also display the number of the participants which were about 5,000 in number. It also indicates the test topics for every corresponding page of the exam:
First Page: Geography of the City
Second Page: Basics of the 5 Major Professions (Alchemist, Blacksmith, Businesmen/ Mystical Magnate, Beast Tamer, Herbal Doctor)
Third Page: Strategic and Management Skills
Fourth Page: Glorious Foundation Period
Fifth Page: Rising Domination Period
Sixth Page: Falling Thunder Period
Seventh Page: History of the Mystical Clouds
Eighth Page: History of the Red Cloud State
Ninth Page: Cultivation Theories/Techniques
Tenth Page: Cultivation Theories/Techniques
In each Noble Test, there would only be 9 topics because the last two pages are pages which have questions that always center onCultivation Theories, Techniques and Manuals. Among the selection of over 60,000 questions, they can be categorized into 14 different topics excluding Cultivation. The other 8 topics of the test can be interchanged according to the random choices of the treasure but the 9th topic would always be about cultivation.
The blackboard then revealed. The current progress of the participants as they answered the test.The numerous clans and sects that have gathered on the square outside the test center were all scanning for their respective candidates.
”Its only been three hours and yet our Young Master is already on the second page hahaha!” A elder of a small clan mused.
”That's our Young Master!” Another elder said.
”Hahaha, Old Rahf, how about your clan's young master? Is he doing fine?” The elder from earlier sarcastically said.
”Tsk, Old Turner, don't get cocky! Our Young Master has also reached the second page.”
”Hahaha, is that so? But I was pretty sure that he was only at the first page several minutes ago.” The elder continued to sneer.
”You! Just wait and see my Young Master will still score better than your spoiled descendant!” Old Rahf continued.
”How dare you! Tsk, if it wasn't for the young Impartial Spear personally guarding this test. I would have mopped the floor with you!” Old Turner rebutted.
”Hmph, try it then!” Old Rahf countered. In the end, they couldn't fight and could only stare with killing intent at each other.
Other clans had similar conflicts like Old Rahf and Old Turner. Theses minor clans tried to compare with each other and even betted treasures and spirit stones on which representative will score higher than the other.
”Mistress is performing outstandingly and she's already on the 3rd page!” An elder from the Hundred Hills Grand Clan rejoiced
”Old Malu, hahaha it seems like your Stone Edge Manor would be left behind by our Mistress!” Another elder spoke with disdain at the Stone Edge Manor's camp. This caused the crowd to gasp in astonishment. To quickly answer those 40-60 questions despite it being an essay? Just how frightening would the golden daughter be?
”Hahaha, you're too overconfident! Our Young Master has reached the third page five minutes earlier than your mistress!” An old butler from the manor confidently said. The crowd gasped once more. There was another person who could answer as fast as the golden daughter? The crowd couldn't help but admit in their hearts how genius these two are.
”Our Wonder Child is even better than you lot it has already been half an hour since he arrived at the third page! Hahaha!” An arrogant butler said with confidence. The crowd's hearts jumped. The Wonder Child was even more frightening than the others?!
”These noble powers really do love up to their reputation. They could all nurture such frightening kids. Haaaayst.” An old veteran could only sigh as he thought of the dazzling genius that those three have shown to the crowd today.
”Lo-look, the Child Strategist has just reached the fourth page!!” An inconspicuous commoner spoke out from fright.
”WHAT?!” The crowd's hearts stopped when they heard that remark. The Child Strategist was even more terrifying than the previous three! She already crossed the page where the other three genius were still answering!
”Hahahah what do you expect from Lady Ciara's wisdom as the crowned Top Strategist of the whole city!” A suitor from another clan said while his eyes emitted burning determination to conquer the Child Strategist.
This remark helped the crowd fee l that the Child Strategist's crossing of the fourth page was quite sensible since the third page was about the strategic and management skills of the participant in both business and war. It could be said that Child Strategist was a fish on the water when she arrived at the 3rd page's topic. That's why she was able to easily finish the page.
”Of course, my sister's prowess in strategizing could even be superior than mine so it wouldn't be hard for her to answer all those questions in just three hours or so.” A 1.9 meter tall scholarly young man who was of 28 years of age generally stated. It seemed like his words were from virtuous scrolls from his elegant manner of speaking.
