Chapter 11: Examiner Number 29

"You're disqualifying me because I asked you about the rules? That's unreasonable!" Su Yang said with a frown, refusing to accept this outcome.

"So what if I am being unreasonable? What are you going to do about it, huh?!" The examiner spoke in a provoking tone, his face filled with mockery and disdain.

Su Yang's body trembled in anger, and without hesitation, reached for the medallion in his robes.

However, as he grabbed the medallion, an unfathomable presence filled the entire exam site, startling the Sect Elders and terrifying the examiners. As for the examinees, they were having trouble breathing because of the immense pressure, feeling as though there were mountains on their shoulders.

"S-Senior Wu?! Please calm down! You're going to hurt the examinees!" The Sect Elders quickly tried to de-escalate the situation.

The pressure vanished into thin air a moment later, and Senior Wu spoke in a calm yet cold voice, "Examiner number 29."

"Huh? Me...?" The examiner standing before Su Yang had a puzzled look on his face after being called out by Senior Wu.

"If I recall correctly, there are no rules that prohibit an examinee from wearing a mask during the entrance exam, so why did you disqualify that examinee? Are you trying to make our sect look bad?" Senior Wu questioned him with a cold gaze.

"T-That... I..." The examiner began sweating profusely after being corrected by Senior Wu. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

"If you want to be unreasonable to the examinee, don't blame me for being unreasonable to you." Senior Wu added.

Sensing Senior Wu's cold gaze, the examiner immediately bowed his head and apologized, "This disciple was wrong! It will not happen again!"

"Why are you apologizing to me? I was not the one you wronged." Senior Wu calmly stroked his beard.

The examiner gritted his teeth and turned to Su Yang. "I am sorry, I was wrong. Let's start the exam immediately."

'I will properly lecture that useless disciple later.' Senior Wu's voice resounded inside Su Yang's head.

Su Yang was relieved to hear Senior Wu's words. He left the platform and gathered with the other examinees that passed. A disciple approached them sometime later, guiding them to the next exam area.

Once Su Yang left, Senior Wu stood from his seat and walked to the platform, stopping in front of examiner number 29.

"G-Grand Elder?" The examiner could feel Senior Wu's imposing aura bearing down on him, his clothes quickly soaked in sweat.

"You dare tamper with the entrance exam in my presence? Have you gone mad?" Senior Wu glared at the examiner, who was trembling violently from fear.

"I-I don't know what you are talking about, Grand Elder!"

"Oh? Now you're even lying right in my face? Good! Very good!" Senior Wu turned to look at bewildered Sect Elders there and continued in a commanding voice, "Bring him to the Disciplinary Hall and find a replacement for the exam!"

None of the elders dared to question Senior Wu's decision and obediently followed his orders.

"Please! Grand Elder! There must have been a misunderstanding! This is unreasonable!" The disciple cried as he was dragged away.

"So what if I am being unreasonable? What are you going to do about it?" Senior Wu repeated the disciple's own words, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood from frustration.

Meanwhile, Su Yang was ushered into another area filled with small buildings, each spacious enough to accommodate a single person.

"You will spend the next seven days studying the sword manual placed in each house. However, if you wish to be evaluated earlier, you may approach the stage over there." The disciple pointed at the platform in the distance.

"One last thing. The sword manual will not leave the building at any point for any reason. If you dare try to smuggle the sword manual out of this place, your life will be forfeited. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes!" The examinees responded loudly.

"Good luck."
