268 Tes (1/2)

Chapter 268: Test

The cultivators’ spirits rose when they heard that there would be a test after the lesson ended.

If they could gain the appreciation of Yuehua, they might get the chance to learn Yuehua’s “Thousand Hand Moon Buddha” on top of earning the high-value scholarship.

A mystic technique of that level was the dream of the cultivators present.

Yuehua said, “These ten basic extraction methods are the basics for all sorts of mystic techniques and their variants. Although they are known as the basics, they are not simple at all. Not to mention beginners who just began learning the Desolate Heaven technique, even grandmasters, who have been well-versed in the Desolate Heaven technique for a very long time, might occasionally make a few mistakes. Now, I will explain all the ten extraction methods once. You can compare it with what you have previously learned…”

“The first extraction method…” Yuehua began to lecture. From time to time, she would demonstrate for the cultivators present.

As a sage-level Desolate Heaven Master, Yuehua’s level of the Desolate Heaven technique was impeccable. All the cultivators present gained a lot from listening to her lecture. Many of the things that they were previously confused about slowly became clearer to them.

During Yuehua’s lecture, Luo Huo’er would listen with ease, while stealthily taking glances at Yi Yun.

She wanted to see what the scene of a simpleton listening to a book from heaven would be like.

Luo Huo’er originally thought that it would be impossible for Yi Yun to understand Yuehua’s lecture. She thought he would either be frowning, with a constipated look, or he would be day dreaming.

Either one of those would have made Luo Huo’er delighted. However, when she looked at him, he was listening with a fascinated look on his face.

He held a pen in his hand and would scribble on a piece of paper from time to time.

A warrior’s memory was excellent and they would often have eidetic memory, but that would usually only happen if they had a basic understanding of what they learned.

If they did not understand anything, then it would be difficult for them to remember. This was when pen and paper would reflect their functions.

Seeing Yi Yun ruminating over it, with the occasional scribble or the occasional frown, Luo Huo’er was stunned.

Could this rascal stop taking this so seriously? I’m sure he can neither understand it nor be able to learn the Desolate Heaven technique.

This view was not because Luo Huo’er looked down on Yi Yun, it was because he had started too late. Besides, he was learning under a grandmaster like Yuehua, which would be almost impossible to catch up with.

If he could not learn it, why was he so adamant about it? Was he stupid? Why bother being so stubborn?

During Yuehua’s lecture, there were some parts that became extremely profound. Even some of the Desolate Heaven Master apprentices slowly failed to follow her teachings. Once they were unable to catch up, they would easily be left behind.

The cultivators present were all in their teens. Although they were hardworking, they would have some child-like mentalities. They might find it difficult to focus, especially when many of the things were incomprehensible.

It was taxing on the brain to try and understand the things Yuehua was teaching. A couple of minutes would be fine, but to continue on for more than an hour made many of them unable to handle it.

Luo Huo’er realized that some people had already lost focus, and when they regained their focus, they would find many things incomprehensible no matter how hard they paid attention.

But Yi Yun, who was a person who did not know anything about the Desolate Heaven technique, was focused from beginning to end. He was quickly scribbling on his paper without any slack.

“This toad…” Luo Huo’er could not understand the situation.

Even if he knew the hopes were low, he was still diligent…

Such a person could easily move a person’s heart.

Initially, Luo Huo’er’s attitude towards to Yi Yun was one of ridicule and gloating, hoping to see Yi Yun suffer a setback.

But over time, Yi Yun’s seriousness changed Luo Huo’er’s impression of him. No matter when it was, it was not right to ridicule a hardworking person.

It might be easy to laugh at the stupidity of a person determined to surmount an impossible task, but if one were to do so, it meant that one was going further away from success.

Yuehua lecture went on for two hours before she finished.

Many of the cultivators received a headache from listening. Only the best, like Luo Huo’er or Yang Yuefeng, could follow Yuehua’s thoughts, receiving enormous benefits.

“Alright, digest what I have just taught. In ten minutes, we will have the test.” When Yuehua said this, many of them began to tense up.

Many of the youths, who were originally very confident about the test, had now lost their confidence.

The things Yuehua taught were too profound. They were afraid that they would not be able to obtain a good result.

Seeing so many people with sour looks, Yang Yuefeng was extremely excited. He loved tests. He wanted to earn a scholarship through the test, and at the same time, shine. He wanted to let everyone see his talent in the Desolate Heaven technique!

Although he was inferior to Luo Huo’er, if he could become the person closest to Luo Huo’er through his hard work, he might be able to gain the attention of Luo Huo’er.

The more Yang Yuefeng thought, the greater expectations he had. As for Yi Yun, he had long forgotten about him.

Yang Yuefeng repeatedly looked at Luo Huo’er, brimming with confidence.

He wanted to vie for second place!

“Alright, I’ll hand out the test now!” Yuehua tapped the lecture stand lightly and, with a tiny voice, quietened down the entire classroom.
