719 Write A Chapter On Thursday To Call For The Weekend (1/2)

”... This is beyond expectation, truly unexpected.”

Holding the freshly produced test paper, Wang Lu, as an examiner, was radiant with delight and was full of admiration. His review on the paper was full of praise.

However, around him, several other examiners clearly looked ashen, as if their veins suddenly burst open. Furthermore, this subconscious fury ignited the examination hall and made a group of young cultivators rush to put out the fire.

”What a mess! What a scandal.”

A senior examiner shook his head and sighed. A thick paper in his hand was turned over and over by him. He saw that the writing on the paper was dense, and every question had an extremely detailed argumentation and solution. The reasoning was clear and orderly, and the writer's thought was deep and meticulous. Although it was just a test paper, it was like a delicate artwork.

However, after the old cultivator held that art for a long time, at last, he sighed and tore it to pieces.

Someone around him advised, ”Don't worry, Daoist Master Wan Juan, your sect's eldest disciple, Jian Mu, has performed very well. Such is a tricky examination test, he actually got 60% of them right. This has far exceeded the majority of the candidates, thus he truly represents the brilliance of your Hong Shui Sect.

The old cultivator looked discouraged and defeated. ”But he lost to Senior Gem Emperor.”

The persuading person smiled bitterly and said, ”Senior Gem Emperor is the emperor of the Earth Immortals. She has an all-around talent. No one could compare to her, let alone Heng Shui Sect. The cultivators of Ten Thousand Arts Sect who have eyes set higher than the top returned in low spirits. Their scores are not as good as Jian Mu…”

The old cultivator raised his head excitedly. ”But the cultivators of Heng Shui Sect have never lost to anyone on the test paper! No matter whether the opponent is human or immortal! This is the foundation of Heng Shui Sect!”

”Alas…” The persuader had nothing to say. Cultivators of the Heng Shui Sect had always been extreme on this issue. Thirty years ago, Xue Ba, the eldest disciple of Heng Shui Sect and Daoist Priest Tian Shu of Ten Thousand Arts Sect wagered against each other at the bank of Book Ocean. The two finished half the collection in the Book Ocean in one night and then each drew up a question. They fought for three days and three nights in a row. Finally, Xua Ba won by one question. However, after returning to his sect, Xue Ba's primordial spirit dried up and he died vomiting blood. On the other hand, although Daoist Priest Tian Shu lost the match, he achieved enlightenment because of it and directly broke through Yuanying, Deity, and even further than that…”

In the view of most people, the real winner of that match was undoubtedly Daoist Priest Tian Shu of Ten Thousand Arts Sect. But for Heng Shui Sect, Daoist Master Xue Ba was a model worthy of great esteem, because he had the spirit of Heng Shui Sect in him—Never lost to anyone in a test! They could do it at all costs!

Right now, although Daoist Master Jian Mu surpassed the talents of all the major sects in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals in that examination test, he was completely defeated by Senior Gem Emperor… How could the people of Heng Shui Sect bear the defeat in the test?

Old Daoist Wan Juan gnashed his teeth. ”This is not over yet… When I go back, I will order all the sect's disciples to do a closed-door training. They must thoroughly understand these examination test and surpass Senior Gem Emperor before they could go out!”

The nearby people were stunned. ”Daoist Master, you must, by all means, calm down! You must not rush this thing. Senior Gem Emperor achieved a correct rate of more than 90% in this examination test, which is incredible. On the other hand, Daoist Master Jian Mu has been training for six months and his accuracy rate is 60%, and he is the top player among many competitors. The gap between them simply could not be made up by seclusion training alone!”

Old Daoist Wan Juan's eyes were firm when he said, ”There are no difficulties in this world that could not be overcome by hard work! Any problem will always bow down in front of the human wave attack! The enemy is merely Senior Gem Emperor, and my disciple only lost because he still doesn't do enough tests. When I go back, I will put him on the Ocean of Test Boat to roam for ten years. By then, I don't believe he still couldn't compare with Senior Gem Emperor!”

”... Ten years, but the Grand Competition will surely end much earlier than that!”

Old Daoist Wan Juan remained his insistence, ”But Senior Gem Emperor must still be alive! She's an Earth Immortal, so she has a long life and is not easy to die. When the time comes, I will let Jian Mu take his revenge!”

”... All right, suit yourself.”

For this exotic sect's unusual ideas, people couldn't persuade them even if they wanted to.

But from another point of view, able to force such an extremely exotic sect into a helpless situation… the power of Senior Gem Emperor had indeed reached into the unimaginable territory.

Even for such a side match, she had an overwhelming advantage over the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals.

Daoist Master Wang Lu was the one who personally wrote the questions, organized the examination and personally reviewed the test papers.

This special examination form, which had been gradually increased in popularity on Nine Regions in the last century, had been greatly improved in Wang Lu's hands. It could effectively test the intelligence level and the ability of the examinees in problem-solving. But in order to cope with the Grand Competition, Wang Lu raised the difficulty of the exam by a thousand times, making it almost impossible.

In order to show fairness, before the competition began, Wang Lu had handed over the types and examples of the test questions and his comments through the planning book before the match to the Earth Immortals. At the same time, he also gave a large number of auxiliary books to the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals for more targeted special training.

As for the process of writing questions and marking papers, there would be no falsification, because in theory, there was no need to. The people of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals were in the best position and should not lose. Unfortunately, the fact was present before them.

Even Daoist Master Jian Mu of Heng Shui Sect lost, who else could win? Perhaps Wang Lu could do it, but the question was from him, and it was necessary for him to read the test. How could he be allowed to take the test?

”Alright, no need for us to get depressed. We survived three defeats yesterday, so what's the loss of the first match today?”

At that time, Wang Lu clapped his hands and said something that was not comforting at all.

With that, he left his desk, walked into the arena and said to the crowd as the host,
