Chapter 2030 - Examination (2)

The treatment method had to be kept a secret, so only Sect Master Li went in with her. Those who were outside did not know what they were doing inside. They could only see their faint silhouettes moving, and there was also Sect Master Li’s occasional shouts of praise.

“I really never thought that she would actually have such powerful medical arts! She’s only been in the sect for more than twenty years, so how did she manage to learn so many things so well?”

“She already knew these things before she entered the sect. Right now, it’s just an improved version of what she already knew.”

“Sigh, she really is so powerful! She exists merely to defeat others.”

“Right now, even if you told me that she knows every single thing in the sect, I wouldn’t be surprised.”

“Me neither.”

Because they couldn’t watch the process of SIma You Yue treating him, everyone felt like the process was rather slow. A few hours passed before the temporary screen was opened from inside.

“Your acupuncture methods are truly amazing.” Sect Master Li was still praising her even as they exited. The wife, who was waiting outside, rushed up and looked at the two of them expectantly.

“Haha, you’re rather lucky. You met her and she actually managed to use a method like this to stabilise the pathways in his body. His lifeforce will not be drained anymore, and his life is preserved!” Sect Master Li said with a smile.

“Thank you, Sect Master Li, Thank you Great Master!” The woman thanked them emotionally.

“Don’t thank me. I was not the one who found out the cause of it, and I wasn’t the one who saved him.” Sect Master Li was not greedy for glory, “Once you head back, nourish his body well. He suffered greatly this time and will need a bit of time to recover. Also, he shouldn’t put pressure on himself too early, and his cultivation should return slowly.”

“Yes, yes! I will definitely tell him these things. He will not make this kind of mistake again!’

“Alright, he can leave after resting here for two days. You can follow them down.”

Those from the Doctor Sect took away the screen and the patient, and the plaza was empty again. Sect Master Li announced with pride, “You have passed the Doctor’s Examination!”

“Thank you, Master!’

“Not bad!” Ning Tian Ya looked at her, saying, “Who’s next?”

“Let me.” Seeker Spirit Sect Master came forward, saying, “Our test is simple. Select fifty ores from these hundred stones. Not a single blank can be drawn. Also, after you reveal it, the value of the selected stones will be compared to the remaining stones. It cannot be lower than five of them.”

“Heavens, they call this simple?!”

“She needs to have a ninety-five percent accuracy!”

“The higher the number, the higher the risk. How is this simple!”

“When did the seeker spirit master exam become so difficult?!”

“Maybe it depends on the person being tested!”

“Even so, that’s still too difficult!”

The others were discussing this spiritedly. Those from the seeker spirit sect were also lamenting how difficult the exam was this time, which was unprecedented.

However, no matter how they protested, the examination had already been decided and nobody could change it.

The seeker spirit masters placed a hundred ores onto the plaza and arranged them neatly into ten rows.

“Right, we forgot to mention the time limit. It has to be done within four hours!”

“Pfft-”

His final instruction caused them to choke. She had to select fifty ores within four hours, and she even had to have a hundred percent accuracy.

Four hours was two hundred and forty minutes. To select a hundred ores meant that she only had around two minutes to examine each ore! She was selecting ores, not cabbages along the street!

How was this an examination? This was simply making things difficult for her!

Sima You Yue was calm. When the time started, she walked around the ores. They saw that she merely took upan ore and gave it a few glances. In less than ten seconds, she would decide whether it was within her choices.

“So quick! Is she selecting the stones or is she just basing it on luck?”

“With this speed, she probably isn’t selecting the stones, right? Did you see anyone select ores so quickly before? She’s definitely doing it randomly!”

“But if she is really doing it randomly, her expression is way too calm!”

“This is called remaining calm in the face of death. Even if she has no certainty, she has to sway others!’

“You speak as if you really know!” Someone turned up his nose at his explanation, “I believe that she is selecting the stones seriously.”

“You aren’t believing in her ability at this point, you’re just blindly worshipping her!’

“That’s right! I worship her, and I believe in her ability! Otherwise, they wouldn’t make this sort of test for her!”

“That’s true, since this is an examination, and such a difficult one at that, it proves that she might be able to complete it. We should wait and see!”

Two hours passed and she had split the ores into three piles. One of them was her chosen pile, one was rejected and the remaining dozen or so were those that she had no way to ascertain for the time being.

She had already chosen forty-three of them. Hence, she had to select seven stones from the remaining pile of fifteen. She examined every single one closely and only put it down after examining it again and again. Finally, she chose the last seven.

“Master, I’ve finished my selection.” She said to the Seeker Sect Master standing on the viewing platform.

“Alright, open them!”

The masters from the seeker spirit sect began. Some of them opened the ones she had selected while the others opened the remaining ones.

The seeker spirit masters who were opening the stones she had selected were rather nervous. The moment they revealed a single blank. She would not be able to pass the examination today!

It was a good thing that they did not reveal a single blank the whole way. At least she passed this part of it.

The other group who were opening her rejects, revealed ten blanks. There was a ten percent chance but she didn’t select a single one!

“Fifty ores without a single blank. Completely accurate!” The one in charge of inspecting was Lian Cheng, the one who had competed with her before. Announcing her results with his own mouth made him feel a little complicated.

She was actually so much more powerful than he was!

“She really got them all! She’s too powerful!”

“Looks like she wasn’t blindly guessing. Otherwise, how could she not have chosen a single blank!”

“So that means that it really is her ability! Heavens!”

Ni Le sat in his seat and chuckled, “These stones were ones that these guys spent seven to eight days to determine. If it were me, I would also need an entire day to examine them.”

“So you’re saying that the student surpassed the master!”

“How does it feel to be outdone by your disciple?”

“Very proud! Hahahahah!” Ni Le guffawed.

“We begin the comparison phase.” Liang Cheng announced. The old folks from the Seeker Spirit Sect immediately came to estimate the value of every single one. They then wrote the value on the piece of paper before arranging them in order.

Finally, there were three of them whose value surpassed the ones she selected, which was less than the stipulated five. Hence, she passed the examination without a hitch.

The plaza burned with passion. Everyone looked at her as if they were looking at a deity!

“Who’s next?” Ning Tian Ya asked.

“Let me.” Array Sect Master Hu Hu said.

When they saw Hu Hu step forward, nobody was surprised. She was excellent at arrays, which was something they knew when Lu Yan had advanced in rank. Seeing him give her an examination, they believed that she would have no problem.

In the end, Sima You Yue almost faltered here.
