Chapter 251: Knowledge Test Begin!

"That is Peng Lu, Peng Xiaowang's cousin. He is well known for his arrogance. He often harassed Yuyan and me. It's so annoying." Bai Qingyi explained to Yun Lintian through a sound transmission.

"Just ignore him. When a dog barks at you, why do you have to care about it?" Yun Lintian replied casually, but he had already written Peng Lu's name down on his killing list.

Bai Qingyi nodded and said nothing more. The three of them arrived in front of Qin Yuyan's group and immediately introduced themselves.

Qin Yuyan and Bai Qingyi's group consisted of ten people in total. They were either Qin Yuyan and Bai Qingyi's cousins or servants. Among them, Yun Lintian had a good impression of a young girl with a long ponytail. Her name was Qin Yiran.

According to Qin Yuyan's words, Qin Yiran was her younger cousin, a daughter of her Second Uncle. Qin Yiran possessed a high talent for sword art that even Yang Chen felt inferior. She was only fifteen this year, but her strength had already reached the tenth level of Origin Profound Realm. Yun Lintian believed she was definitely this year's favorite contender.

As time passed by, more and more people gathered around the rest area. Yun Lintian used this chance to observe the overall strength of the participants and discovered there weren't many Origin Profound practitioners among the crowd. Most of them ranged from the fifth to the tenth level of Spirit Profound Realm. 

Yun Lintian couldn't help wonder how the academy was going to deal with this huge disparity. Undoubtedly, those in the Origin Profound Realm would gain a massive advantage.

"It's time. Everyone, please move to the square." Suddenly, an academy elder shouted loudly from the entrance of the rest area. Afterward, everyone gradually followed him out, heading back to the square.

At this moment, the square had already been filled with countless tables and chairs. A set of ink and brush was placed on them, and there was a number plate on the side.

The same academy elder went up to a stage at the front of the square. His gaze swept on everyone quickly as he said. "Everyone, take out your token and look at the number on it. After that, all of you can proceed to find the table with the same number on your token."

Yun Lintian looked at his token and saw a number 333 on it. He exchanged a few words with Yang Chen and others before walking toward table number 333 and sitting down.

Seeing everyone found their table, the academy elder said. "Welcome everyone to the six-hundredth academy recruitment. As everyone knows, the assessment has three parts altogether. The first one is a knowledge test. As long as you can score at least eighty percent, you are qualified to participate in the next test, which is a survival test."

"In this survival test, everyone will be sent to a hunting ground that fills with dangers. Naturally, you can withdraw at any time if you think you cannot continue further. The academy will take you out. However, you have to remember, doing this means you have lost the qualification to enter the academy. Please think carefully before making a final decision. Anyone who passes the second test will be officially accepted by the academy as an outer court student."

"The last test is a strength test. You can choose to participate in it or choose to stop as an outer court student. The choice is in your hands. For those who choose to accept the test. You will have a chance to become an inner court student as long as you enter the top five thousand rankings. If you're strong enough and manage to enter the top hundred rankings, you will be qualified to enter the hall. As for which hall you would enter in the end, it depends on the hall masters and your performance."

The elder's introduction caused a small discussion among the participants. It was clearly not everyone knew about this beforehand. They immediately became excited and were looking forward to a bright future. 

The academy elder raised his hand, and the enormous crowd fell into silence. He exchanged a glance with another elder, who stood at the edge of the stage, then shouted loudly. "It's time. Hand out the test papers."

Several outer court students rose out of their seats and began to distribute a pack of test papers. When Yun Lintian got his test paper, he quickly scanned through the content, and a smile appeared on his face. 

The test questions went from the very basic one to the difficult one. Every question was related to the profound ways, for example, how do practitioners normally improve their strength or what would happen when a fire-based profound vein practitioner practices a water profound art.

Yun Lintian did not hurry to fill the answer. He raised his head slightly to glance around and discovered a powerful spiritual sense suppressing formation had been activated to prevent the participants from copying others.

Without further ado, Yun Lintian picked up the brush, soaking the tip in ink before writing the answer down one by one.

Unknowingly, Yun Lintian flipped through the test paper and found he had already answered every question. After knowing this, he simply put the brush down, leaning comfortably against the chair, and closed his eyes, waiting for time.

"Interesting. It's only thirty minutes in. He has already finished the questions. This should be a new record, right?" Far away in the sky, a middle-aged woman with a long green robe said as she stared at Yun Lintian. She was the Mystery Hall Master, Nangong Xi.

On the side, Hong Wuya calmly sipped a tea and said. "Told you. He is special." His current appearance was entirely different from the time Yun Lintian met him back then. The previous pale complexion was gone completely. 

"Why are you so sure he would answer correctly?" Nangong Xi glanced at the old man with doubt.
