Chapter 996: The End Of The Assessment
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Just as Mo Wuji was thinking that the next puppet would have a cultivation of Heavenly God Level 1, he arrived at two stone tablets. There was a white tablet and a red one.
Mo Wuji knew about the white jade stone tablet. If he wrote his name down, he would have passed the test. Mo Wuji was thinking: ”Wasn't this assessment too easy?”. However, after seeing the instructions above the red tablet, he came to an understanding.
It wrote: Press the red jade stone tablet to continue with the assessment. The next battle will be with a Heavenly God Level 1. Failure to win will result in elimination. Those that choose not to continue can inscribe your name on the white jade stone tablet and pass the assessment.
Mo Wuji came to an understanding. Nirvana Learning Academy's assessment wasn't to prevent more people from passing the test. Instead, it was to select more holistic people. However, it was also clear that if he chose to leave now, his total score wouldn't be very high.
If he continuously battled, his points would eventually reach an extremely high level. Clearly, it could be seen that while Nirvana Learning Academy wanted to choose all-rounded people, it still put combat abilities as its priority. If you have the combat ability, even if you didn't score very high on the previous tests, you could recoup the points through battle.
Mo Wuji hesitated briefly. According to the points he scored previously, even though he didn't get any points from the sixth round, it should be possible for him to get into the top 500. That meant to say that he would definitely get into Nirvana Learning Academy.
If he wanted to continue earning points, he could press the red jade stone tablet and continue fighting. With his combat abilities, getting to the top 10, no top 3, was not an impossibility.
But did he need to continue?
The reward for the top 10 was a year's time in the Land of God Spiritual Energy. He did not come here for the Land of God Spiritual Energy but the Land of Mortals. As for the Nirvanic River which could allow God Kings to ruminate on the Unity God Stage, what had it got to do with him? Chi Bing was only at God King Level 1 and she hadn't even stabilised her cultivation. Thus, there was no need for her to search for the stage above the God King Stage.
As for the God Fruit, Mo Wuji felt that he would probably store it in his ring or auction it if he obtained it. Also, while it was true that such rewards could be sold for large amounts of god crystals, he was afraid that he would be too famous. Moreover, he would be offending many people. If he was in 10th place, he would offend the 11th place. If he was in 5th place, he would offend the 6th to 11th place…
He, Mo Wuji, never been afraid of offending people. If it was related to his personal interests and values, he wouldn't even mind offending God Kings or hue sects. Previously, to save Su Xi, he offended many peak-grade sects. To save the fate of the Immortal World, he was not afraid of offending an expert that was a totally different realm from him. For Heavenly Mortal Sect, he killed 45 genius disciples of Phoenix Soul God Estate and Nine Evolutions God Sect. Ultimately, he was forced to cross the Nirvana Ocean and flee to God Continent…
All this was for his Dao!
If it was for some supreme treasure, he definitely wouldn't give up now. But if he had to offend so many powers and sects for this bit of god crystals, then it truly wasn't worth it. He was a Tier 5 God Pill King, he would be able to get god crystals any time he wanted. Why would he need to offend others? As for fame and reputation, he had less desire for it. He cultivated the Mortal Dao and fame was only as good as a fleeting cloud.
Mo Wuji did not hesitate to inscribe his name Rogue Cultivator 2705 on the white jade stone tablet. A whirlpool array door appeared. Mo Wuji walked through it and arrived at a huge plaza.
At almost the same instant his feet touched the ground, Mo Wuji heard a loud and clear voice, ”The assessment time is over. All those that did not pass the assessment or are still in the assessment are eliminated.”
The assessment time was over? Mo Wuji's heart turned cold. He suddenly thought that if he had chose to continue challenging the next level, what would be waiting for him wasn't points, but elimination.
What a close call.
”Your luck is not bad. You passed the seventh test just as the assessment time ended. How was it, how many did you eliminate in the last round?” A cheery voice sounded by Mo Wuji's ear.
The one speaking was a white-faced youth who seemed to care a lot about hygiene. Mo Wuji could even smell a faint fragrance from him. If this was Earth, Mo Wuji would think that this was a pampered son that liked to spray himself with cologne.
Mo Wuji laughed, ”I only eliminated two. I only managed to pass by a close shave. If I delayed any further, I would have been eliminated.”
”Looks like you are a man of luck. My name is Lian Linyun, I'm from He Jian God City.” The white-faced youth clapped Mo Wuji's shoulders and introduced himself.
”My name is Mo Wuji, a rogue cultivator. I roam around and came here to try my luck,” Mo Wuji responded.
He knew of He Jian God City. If Chi Bing did not mention Coiling Wind Forest, he might have gone to He Jian God City.
Lian Linyun pointed at the array screen at the centre of the plaza and said, ”We can't see the placings for now. It's still being calculated. After some time, the top 500 will be revealed. The fact that you can come to this plaza means that you are not bad. There were more than 13,000 people that took part in the assessment but there are less than 2,000 people here.”
Mo Wuji had also noticed, there were indeed approximately 2000 people here. Since Nirvana Learning Academy would be accepting 500 people, that meant that he had a 25% chance of being selected.
