Chapter 34 - His Test Was Cancelled And He Was Promoted (1/2)

The assessment officer left and returned. He was very fast.
“The elders all agreed that you passed the assessment ahead of time and you can move freely, but it is only limited to this mountain.”
“Your Gu worm has already been kept by the sect, and the results are recorded at this current state. Is it okay with you?”
Fang Yuan nodded, “No problem, thank you for informing me, Senior.”
“You’re welcome.”
The examiner’s tone and attitude towards a talented disciple like Fang Yuan was much better.
Fang Yuan then left his seat. He did not walk far before he saw a result board on the side of the road outside the assessment area.
His name was written at first place.
“Good man, I am going to be famous now.”
Fang Yuan laughed lightly.
Even though the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, in a place like the Gu Immortal Sect where the environment was good, being outstanding enough could bring huge benefits.
Sitting on a huge rock not far from the result board, Fang Yuan looked around the assessment area, and he could not see the end of it.
He could see some people with decent strength who had already tamed their Gu worms and were using the spirit essence in their acupoints to nurture them.
They could be said to have passed the first trial. The only thing left to do was to fight for the ranking.
Most people were still racking their brains to tame the Gu worm.
This was also a normal situation.
Many disciples who had just entered the sect just wanted to join in the fun and practice their skills in the trial.
The sect did not set a threshold to exclude them. Every year, they spent a large amount of resources on the Gu worms used in the trial. One could see how much their financial resources were.
After watching for an hour, some people gradually began to leave the arena.
Fang Yuan originally thought that they were the ones who had raised the Gu worms to rank two. However, when he took a closer look, he realized that they were the disciples who had accidentally raised the Gu worms to death and were forcefully kicked out of the arena.
There were quite a number of such people.
“It seems like what Senior said was true.”
Fang Yuan shook his head.
The quality of the outer sect competition was not high. Even if there were talented disciples, they were nothing in front of the current him.
After all, he was someone who could spar with Wan Qian, one of the three experts of the younger generation in the inner sect.
This was something that ninety-nine percent of the outer sect disciples could not do.
After he had an idea, Fang Yuan no longer paid attention to the competition. He found a quiet place and continued to meditate and cultivate.
It was not scary if his talent was not good. What was scary was if he was not talented and still did not work hard.
Fang Yuan had been using this sentence to motivate himself.
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
The results of the first day were announced to the public.
Fang Yuan was still firmly in first place in the first round, and there was no suspense.
Second and third place had successfully raised the Acid Ant Gu to rank two, but their efficiency was too different from Fang Yuan’s. They had broken through almost right before the trial ended.
It was said that third place had suffered a great loss because of this, and they did not know if they could still participate in the second theory trial.
Fang Yuan once again stepped into the assessment area. This time, the facilities in the venue were reduced by a lot, by more than half.
It seemed that only the first round of the Gu raising trial had eliminated half of the candidates.
When everyone took their seats, the long-bearded old man from yesterday appeared again. Without any hesitation, he directly announced the contents of today’s trial.
“There are a total of ten Gu worms in the boxes in front of each of you.”
“They can be paired up and refine each other to raise their quality.”
“What you need to do is to recognize the relationship between them and start refining them.”
“The required materials can be mentioned to the examiners next to you. To a certain extent, the sect can support you.”
“If you fail more than three times, you will be eliminated immediately!”
“Now, the competition begins!”
The second round of training was much harder.
It tested a Gu master’s knowledge and Gu refinement ability.
Fang Yuan had already gone to the scripture depository in the past to find the reason why he could not break through during his ten years of body refinement.
