Chapter 267: Music (2/2)

”Oh wow, Mengmeng is so close to becoming a Heaven Grade musician,” Luo Mei said from the side.

”Heaven grade is at 50%?” Alex asked.

”Yeah, it's always the same for any profession that can check its quality in percentage. 10% is the mortal threshold, 25 is the Earth, and 50 is the Heaven. Honestly, if Mengmeng spent just a bit more time practicing her craft instead of trying to serve me, she would definitely be Heaven grade by now,” Luo Mei said.

”S- Serve you?” Alex was a little confused. 'Isn't Meng Yun a player? Why would she serve senior sister?' he thought.

”Oh yeah, didn't I mention it yet? Mengmeng is my maid. My family sent her to the sect with me to take care of me. Although it turned out that her talent was quite good, so master agreed to make her a disciple of the sect. However, she still tried to take care of me and follows me around,” Luo Mei said while shaking her head.

”Oh,” Alex said, unable to articulate any more words. His entire view of Meng Yun came crumbling down. 'Wait, so she isn't a player, but is just a talented NPC?' he thought.

Meng Yun was on the stage currently finishing up her piece. She was quite fast, even when compared to participants who came from genuine music sects.

Finally, she finished and ended up being the first to do so. Her highest melody was around 45% and her lowest was at 38%. On average, she stayed at around 42% melody.

She had passed without question. Other participants also started finishing one by one. A few of them actually had a higher melody than her, but they weren't as fast, so they failed to get into the top 3 rankings all the same.

Once the results were out, Meng Yun happily returned back to the seating area.

”Congratulations Mengmeng,” Luo Mei said as she stood up and went to hug her.

”Good job. You got us 100 points where we weren't expecting any,” Wen Cheng said.

”Congrats, sister Meng,” Alex said.

Other people started congratulating her too. Soon, Meng Yun was red as a beet from all the attention and quickly went to hide near Luo Mei.

Alex looked back onto the stage. He had nearly missed the formation setting competition, but even after watching it, he didn't realize what was happening.

He couldn't understand the logic as to why the participants threw their flags at the place they did. Soon, that competition was over too without Alex really knowing what took place.

'It seems watching a formation-making competition without the slightest idea on formation making is not a good idea,' he thought.

Finally, he looked back towards the Hong Wu sect's seating area and saw that Ma Rong was missing. So were the three disciples.

It was time for the pill-making competition.
