Chapter 458 - Intermediate Beast Card Cultivator (2/2)
After all, although Bei Du University could host the examination, in order to prevent any unwanted controversies, another member of the association was required to come oversee it.
The first portion of the assessment officially started. Huang Tielan was facing the few examiners in front of her, not showing any signs of nervousness. She firmly believed she could become an intermediate beast card cultivator. How could she be held down by a little test on her knowledge?
To paint a better picture, Huang Tielan didn’t only study all of the professional knowledge taught during the freshman year. She had also studied much of the knowledge taught in the next three years on her own.
Speaking of her library of knowledge alone, Huang Tielan could totally handle the examination for intermediate beast card cultivators!
The truth was just so. Although the invigilators’ questions were very tricky during the exam, and had tested her on much obscure knowledge, Huang Tielan was basically able to answer them all, only making mistakes on two points.
The two mistakes weren’t very important knowledge, either. It was just that the knowledge was so minor, Huang Tielan hadn’t learned it before.

An hour later, the theoretical and understanding portion of the examination was done. Huang Tielan passed with flying colors, getting ninety-five points, and could start on the practical portion of the test.
Due to time constraints, naturally the examiners wouldn’t let Huang Tielan concoct the cultivation fluid for a completely unfamiliar beast card. Even someone on the level of Professor Sun Qilong wouldn’t be able to research the recipe of an unfamiliar beast card in just a few hours.
Cultivating beast cards wasn’t something that could be done overnight to begin with!
The practical exam was separated into two parts. For the first part, the examiners would take out three different mid-tier beast cards and hand out a long list of ingredients. Huang Tielan was required to find as many ingredients needed for the three different beast cards as possible in an hour, and she’d be considered to have passed the test if her completion rate reached sixty percent.
That was undoubtedly something very difficult to do. Even though the examinee was informed of the three beast cards’ specific attributes beforehand, not even actual intermediate beast card cultivators could guarantee they’d be able to find the required ingredients for the three beast cards in an hour every time.
Fortunately, Huang Tielan had Zhang Che’s help, and had accumulated quite a bit of experience at this. An hour later, her completion rate in finding the ingredients for the beast cards had actually exceeded over seventy percent, easily passing the first part of the test!

The second part was naturally the actual practical operation.
Similarly, the examiners gave Huang Tielan a mid-tier beast card, in addition to all the required ingredients. However, she wasn’t given the detailed recipe.
This time, the test required Huang Tielan to finish concocting the cultivation fluid in four hours and successfully advance the beast card.
Although all the required ingredients were provided, it was very difficult to complete the task without the detailed recipe. In addition, the examiners only provided her with three sets of ingredients.
In other words, Huang Tielan only had three chances. If she used up all three tries and didn’t manage to advance the beast card, then she failed the test!
However, unbeknownst to the examiners, Huang Tielan had a wonderful cheat. That cheat was called Zhang Che. Her practical experience was totally not inferior to some official intermediate beast card cultivators at all. She only used two tries before she succeeded in concocting the cultivation fluid, in addition to advancing that four-star beast card to five-stars, dazzling the examiners.
It was truly too shocking. She was only a student who had enrolled into the course for a semester, and she had actually become a skilled intermediate beast card cultivator! How could anyone not be shocked?
“Congratulations, Huang Tielan! You are now officially an intermediate beast card cultivator! We will do the relevant documents for you within three days. You’ll just have to come collect them at the branch in your school!”
The examiners gave their congratulations to Huang Tielan, then started chatting with Professor Sun Qilong, who had been at the examination all this time, congratulating him for taking in a talented student and having someone to pass down everything to.
-Yay!- Huang Tielan cheered inside, picturing herself pumping her fist in the air. She thanked the examiners and Professor Sun Qilong.
-Zhang Xiaoche, I’m an intermediate beast card cultivator from today on! You have to work hard, too!-
