' Hey, stop shaking , and why the hell are you screaming like a child, act like your own age ' Wang Ming thought in his mind as Ning Chu was looking at him like he was so kind of rare animal which caused Wang Ming to flinch
"* Cough*, sorry for my unsightly behavior, I just got a bit excited that you could solve all the questions correctly in such a short amount of ti" Ning Chu said with a slight cough when he saw the weird and dumbfounded expression on everyone's face and the look of annoyance on Wang Ming's face
When the others heard Ning Chu's words they looked at Wang Ming with eyes filled with disbelief and jealousy as it was not every day that you could make a 3-star Alchemist this excited, and moreover he was the Vice Hall Master
" Impossible, how did he solve all of them so quickly"
" It's not possible, I am sure he must have made a lot of mistakes"
" Are you deaf or sothing, didn't you hear what the Vice Hall master said, all of his answers were correct"
" How the hell is this possible, I am having trouble solving questions beyond the 31st question and he solved all of them, what a monster"
" Sigh, we should focus on ourselves, it will only lower our morale if we compare ourselves with a genius like him"
Everyone was murmuring among themselves in a very low voice but their conversation did not escape the ears of Ning Chu and Wang Ming who let out amused smirks
On the other hand, a beautiful woman sitting in the corner had an unsightly expression on her beautiful face
' How is this possible, how the hell did he solve the last ten questions, I am sure even a 3-star Alchemist would have trouble solving them, and not to ntion the last question, it is impossible for an unranked Alchemist to solve' the girl was none other than Yang Jia who had challenged Wang Ming to a duel
' No way, will I lose the challenge that I initiated for him' Yang Jia thought with panic written all over her face as the prospect of losing the challenge brought dread to her
' No this is just the elimination round there are still three more rounds left and the round where we have to concoct the pill should be the one he fails and that is where I will gain an edge over him, no matter how talented he is if soone has never practiced Alchemy in their entire life it should be impossible for him to pass the assessnt exam, not to ntion he said that he will co out on top' Yang Jia consoled herself by imagining Wang Ming failing to concoct a pill
" It's fine senior but is it really that amazing, I an all the questions were pretty easy to solve" Wang Ming said which caused everyone who heard him to twitch their eyebrows in annoyance
' Damn, showoff, easy your head, the questions are not easy but you are too monstrous' everyone had the sa thought in their mind as they looked at Wang Ming with increased jealousy
" Of course, it's easy for soone of your caliber who could even solve the last question which I failed to solve, unlike all the idiots here you are exceptional" when everyone heard Ning Chu's words everyone glared at Wang Ming with hatred in their eyes
' Damn, why the hell are you glaring at , he was the one who said it and not ' Wang Ming was brought out of his thought when he realized sothing and looked at Ning Chu with a weird gaze
" You are the one who made the last question?" Wang Ming asked in a low voice
" Indeed, teacher... I an Hall Master was not helping
with this problem, so I decided to add the question in the elimination round and hoped that soone might be able to solve it with a stroke of luck, and indeed my decision was correct, haha" Ning Chu said loudly while Wang Ming was dumbfounded by his confession
' This guy might surpass
in shalessness in the future, I an who puts a question like this which he could not solve in the examination paper of Cultivators who are not Alchemist yet' Wang Ming thought with wide eyes
' No if you think about it, the pill will help n to satisfy females, if this happens the burden of the holy mission on my shoulder would lessen' Wang Ming now looked at Ning Chu with a bit of respect, Ning Chu who felt Wang Ming's gaze averted his eyes in embarrassnt
" Alright, as you have answered all the questions correctly, you can go to the other room where the real Alchemist exam will take place" Ning Chu said as he handed a token to Wang Ming, he grabbed the token and silently left the hall while the others were trying to answer the questions in nervousness and impatience
Wang Ming arrived at the room which had the sa number engraved in it as the token, Wang Ming slowly entered the room and began to observe the room with his curious eyes
The room was filled with multiple tables and each table had a large black cloth covering it from the naked eye of the participants but he could perceive the scent of various herbs from the concealnt
Wang Ming went near one of the tables and silently sat down with his eyes closed for the arrival of the others
* Creak*
After several minutes had passed Wang Ming who had his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound of the door opening, and a mischievous smirk ford on his face when he saw the person who arrived, it was Yang Jia who was glaring at him in anger
Wang Ming did not say anything but the smug smile on his face irked Yang Jia, as she stomped her feet in annoyance and took a seat far away from Wang Ming
Slowly, as ti passed more and more Cultivators who passed the elimination round started entering the room, and the quantity of Cultiavotrs who passed was extrely low compared to the expectation
' So many failed?' Wang Ming questioned in his mind as Ning Chu entered the room with a look of disappointnt in his eyes
" As you can see only a handful of you passed the elimination round, I did not expect that so many phonies will try to take part in the assessnt exam... they think that becoming Alchemist is the fastest way to acquire wealth which is true as the pills made by a high ranked Alchemist are coveted by powerful Cultivators and are sold at very high prices....but only a few can beco Alchemist....even though you guys have passed the elimination round it is not guaranteed that you will advance to next round, not ntion you won't beco Alchemists if you fail to pass this round " Ning Chu said in a serious tone as his eyes swept pass through every single one of them, so were confident in their ability while others were tensed
" Alright, now that everyone has settled down, I will proceed to explain the content of the test" Ning Chu said as his bodyguards handed a blank white paper to each of them
" For those of you who do not know, do you see the clothing covering the view of the contents on the table? It contains various dicinal herbs which you have to identify from their appearance, taste, and aroma and write the na of the herb on the blank paper provided to you" Ning Chu explained to which everyone silently nodded their head in understanding
" There are fifty different kinds of herbs on the table and every participant has the sa herbs on their table, rember so herbs may look the sa, and so might have the sa aroma and sa taste, so you have to use the sense of sight, taste and sll together to correctly identify them" Ning Chu continued
" Moreover, you have to identify, at the very least half of them correctly to advance to the next round, and this ti there is no limit on the number of people who will advance to the next round" Ning Chu explained which caused the participants to breathe a sigh of relief as they were no limits on the number of people who could advance but still so of them were nervous and in doubt whether they could identify half of the ingredients
" Alright, now that all of you have been inford about the contents of the test, now the exam will begin and you will have an hour to finish it, you can proceed to remove the clothing covering the contents" Ning Chu announced as everyone tightly clutched the black cover that was concealing the herbs beneath, they slowly raised the cover as the herbs that were concealed were know visible to their naked eyes
' Guess, I should start as well' Wang Ming removed the cover when he saw that everyone had removed theirs and already started to sniff and observe the ingredients on each of their tables
