Chapter 1255: Chapter 14 The Gradual Involution of the Saint’s Struggle Chapter 1255: Chapter 14 The Gradual Involution of the Saint’s Struggle …
Yao Chengchao cried harder and harder.
What garbage was this exam paper? He recognized every single word, but when strung together, he couldn’t make head or tail of a single question.
Was this really what they learned at the Wang Family School? Why was it so twisted…
For a mont, he had never felt so uncultured.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry.” Wang Lixian reached out with a slender branch and gently swayed Yao Chengchao’s head to comfort him, “Ningxi, he’s very bad, the test he gave you is the elite exam from our Clan School. Scoring sixty points on it would already make you a very impressive top student. Us poor students get dizzy just by looking at the questions.”
As a poor student herself, Wang Lixian deeply understood the fragile psyche of fellow strugglers. As a queen among the poor students, she felt obligated to console the others.
What did she an, ‘like us poor students’? Since when was he, Yao Chengchao, ever a poor student? And to receive comfort from a tree… Wait, what kind of tree was this?
How could such a small tree talk?
Amid his breakdown, Yao Chengchao was still sowhat shocked. This must be an Advanced Spirit Tree, right?
“Brother Ningxi~ How much would you score on this elite exam?” Shangguan Lingbo asked curiously.
All the others, including the mutant Little Green Snake hiding in Licui’s sleeve, raised their heads and stared intently at Wang Ningxi.
With such confidence, could he possibly score above eighty points?
Most likely not, right? Hadn’t they seen Yao Chengchao unable to answer even one question?
“This…” Wang Ningxi shook his head and said, “These are the basic questions for testing the threshold of ordinary elites in the Clan School. We have a group of people internally who don’t take these tests, but instead do further research with the Clan School teachers.”
“Please, let’s not ask any more,” Wang Lixian covered her “face” with her branches, barely able to watch, “Ningxi is one of the few prodigies in this session of the Clan School. He wouldn’t possibly get any of these elite exam questions wrong.”
Wang Lixian, who had seen off generation after generation of prodigies, could most appreciate the gap between people.
…
Everyone fell into a respectful silence.
“Alright, everyone, let’s test your basics,” said Wang Ningxi as he began distributing the real exam papers, even thoughtfully tying a pencil to the Little Green Snake’s paw, “Little Snake, do your best. Our family’s Liling Grand Aunt used to write this way. She’s a dragon who has already graduated from the Clan School; although her final exam results were… well, anyway, you give it your all~”
And then, a group of people, plus one tree and one “snake,” all began to fervently take the test.
Even Yao Chengchao beca serious.
But this ti, he found so confidence; the first few questions were basic and he completed them with a few “swishes.” However, as he progressed, he realized sothing was off, as the difficulty of the questions was increasing linearly.
He struggled more and more, until at last, his head nearly exploding, he couldn’t figure out an approach and had to give up.
However, he was one of the last to surrender.
Before him, Wang Licui, Lan Wanyi, the Little Green “Snake” had already abandoned the fight with eyes glazed over in defeat.
Wang Ningxi collected all the papers in one go, and his brows imdiately knotted.
Wang Licui eighteen points, Lan Wanyi nineteen points, Shangguan Lingbo thirty-three points, Wang Lixian forty-two points, Little Green Snake eight points, Yao Chengchao twenty-seven points!
Such a shocking sight!
Turned out Li Xian Grand Aunt had the highest score; even Lingbo had only…
“I scored the highest?”
Wang Lixian froze on the spot.
This was the first ti in her long Clan School career that she had ever ranked first in an exam. She could hardly believe it. Were there really so many poor students in this world?
In that mont, Wang Lixian suddenly felt a bold emotion akin to standing at the peak of the world, looking down on all beneath her.
Tears of crystal clarity fell from her tender branches.
It was too hard… Finally, Wang Lixian had her mont on top, sobbing, she realized she too had the potential to be a prodigy.
The mutant Little Green Snake was also shocked.
He had been a revered Ancestor Dragon in his previous life and now he had scored only eight points! How could this be? Had his brain been damaged by the eggshell during his rebirth?
“The basics are all too poor,” sighed Wang Ningxi, holding his forehead in frustration, feeling the weight of responsibility on his shoulders.
The task given by the Old Ancestor was arduous and long…
Well, let them warm up with ten basic exams first. To lift their spirits, then start the classes…
Sigh~~
…
While Yao Chengchao, Wang Licui, Lan Wanyi, and the others miserably scraped their way through problems with pained expressions, a short distance away from Evergreen Garden, a young tiger cub dashed swiftly through the lush greenery of Green Emperor Valley.
It was a half-grown cub no taller than a table, with thick, black pads and round ears dotted with white, its black-and-white striped fur glistening in the sunlight.
Its movents were agile and full of grace, muscles rippling with strength as it ran, exuding an aura of intimidation.
Above its head flew a Fire Spirit Butterfly, ablaze with flas.
The Spirit Butterfly was nearly half the size of the tiger, and its speed was not much slower. As it fluttered, its fiery wings left long trails of fla behind, as if lting into the sunlight.
