On the ninth day of the assessnt, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu went to the academy square a little earlier than usual.
However, everyone else seed to have arrived even earlier.
When the two got there, the good seats were all taken and even the bad ones were almost gone.
Seeing this, Shen Xu frowned and looked around for Song Wancheng.
Fortunately, he found the person and hurriedly pulled Zhen Yuan to walk towards the person.
"Song Wancheng." Shen Xu called even before he reached the person.
"Shen Xu? What wind has blown you here?" Song Wancheng pretended to be shocked.
When he heard this, Shen Xu rolled his eyes.
"What’s going on? Why is everyone so early?" He asked but Song Wancheng sneered disdainfully.
"Why else would everyone be so early?" Song Wancheng asked but She Xu couldn’t help but be confused.
"Is there an obvious reason?"
Hearing this, Song Wancheng shook his head and looked at Zhen Yuan.
"They are here for your brother Yuan."
"My brother Yuan? Why?"
At the sa ti, Shen Xu looked around but soon recoiled.
"Why is everyone looking at us?" He asked.
"Today is the ninth day of the assessnt. Your brother Yuan is going to be assessed."
"So what?"
"So what? Shen Xu, is sothing wrong with your brain?" Song Wancheng admonished.
"Your brother Yuan is a level three inscription master and talisman master. This matter has already spread in the academy."
"Awh." Shen Xu nodded, finally understanding the situation.
"Zhen Yuan, are you ready?" Song Wancheng asked but Zhen Yuan didn’t answer.
For him, the assessnt was nothing special.
He just needed to get on the stage and draw a talisman as he usually did. There was no need to specially prepare.
"Who do you think you are talking to?" Shen Xu sneered and quickly continued.
"My brother Yuan will be fine."
"He..." Song Wancheng started but a loud voice interrupted his words.
The voice belonged to Li Bai, the dean of the school of talismans.
"The talisman assessnt is about to start. Talisman masters, co to the stage." The person said.
Hearing this, Song Wancheng rolled his eyes and whispered.
"All the other assessnts were hosted by the deputy deans."
"It can’t be helped. My brother Yuan deserves special attention." Shen Xu proudly declared.
After saying that, he turned to Zhen Yuan.
"Brother Yuan, do your best." He said.
"Mmmm." Zhen Yuan nodded and rubbed the person’s hair.
Soon after, Zhen Yuan left the spectator stands and went to the stage.
Seeing the person, the students couldn’t calm down.
"I heard junior brother Zhen is a genius."
"Brother Zhen is only seventeen but he is already a level three talisman master and inscription master." A double said with a yearning expression.
"Who knows if it’s true." A male cultivator said and soon continued.
"He is only an early-stage foundation establishnt realm cultivator. Most importantly, he has never been to the school of talismans or inscriptions."
"Everything we know is hearsay. No one has seen his talent."
"I also think it’s not true."
"If such a genius appeared in our Canglan continent, would he be unknown? Did anyone know Zhen Yuan before the weapon refining assessnt?"
"I knew him." Soone said and the surrounding people turned to look at him.
When the person saw the looks, he imdiately explained.
"Less than a year ago, the disciplinary hall arrested Zhen Yuan."
"Is there such a thing? Why was he arrested?"
"He seriously injured the sixth young lady of the Shi family. Later, the Shi family tried to fra him for killing her."
"I heard a little about this matter. I didn’t expect the culprit was junior brother Zhen Yuan."
"Anyway, I don’t believe all this nonsense about him being a level three master."
"I think he is." Soone refuted and quickly explained.
"The source of this news is his wife and good friend. Would his wife and good friend lie to everyone without fear of consequence?"
"If everything turns out to be a lie, Zhen Yuan will beco a joke. I don’t think his wife and good friend would set him up for such an outco?"
"Who knows? Maybe they hate him."
While the spectators speculated, the talisman masters gathered on stage.
When everyone was there, Li Bai nodded and announced the rules.
"For this year’s assessnt, the topic is the water arrow talisman." He said.
Hearing this, Shen Xi was surprised.
"I didn’t expect the talisman assessnt to have a topic." He said and soon continued.
"I thought the talisman masters would be able to draw whichever talisman they wanted."
"Can Zhen Yuan draw the water arrow talisman?" Song Wancheng asked and Shen Xu nodded.
Although the water arrow talisman wasn’t as common as the fla talisman, the wind talisman, the turtle shell talisman, or the earth wall talisman, it was a relatively common talisman.
First, the talisman map was public and open to all talisman masters.
Second, the talisman belonged to the water elent.
From what Shen Xu knew, water elent talismans were easy to draw compared to other elent talismans.
Third, despite its simplicity, the water arrow talisman had a decent attack power.
As a result, many cultivators liked to use it.
"Most talisman masters can draw the water arrow talisman. It’s unlikely that anyone will fail this assessnt." Shen Xu said but Song Wancheng shook his head in denial.
"What do you an? Can anyone still fail?" He asked.
"It depends on the passing criteria." Song Wancheng said.
"Won’t it be the sa as other assessnts? The level and grade of the talisman will determine the assessnt score."
"Not necessarily." Song Wancheng said but didn’t have to explain because elder Li was already doing so.
"The assessnt score won’t be based on the level and grade of the talisman." Li Bai said and quickly continued.
"Rather, it will be based on the attack power of the water arrow talisman." He said.
At the sa ti, he waved his hand and removed sothing from his storage ring.
