Chapter 1363: Chapter 40: Saintess! The Dust Settles (Seeking Monthly Pass)_5 Chapter 1363: Chapter 40: Saintess! The Dust Settles (Seeking Monthly Pass)_5 Wang Shouzhe shivered at her words, “You’re right, if you really put your mind to it, even I would be scared. So, better not use that brain of yours.”
“And my charm… just ask your little Jiang boy, people actually call Immortal!”
“Lici, there’s no rush, we’ll have more opportunities later.” Wang Shouzhe pulled her over and started to comfort her.
“Green Fern, Bloodline 80 points, Commander 8 points, Martial power 16 points, Charm 15 points, Wisdom 20 points, Opportunity 10 points, Total 149 points.”
Full marks for wisdom, but the commander score really holds her back. Indeed, Green Fern genuinely lacks leadership ability, and her opportunity score is also a bit low; this round of luck isn’t very good.
“Don’t mind that, junior sister, you’ve won an individual championship,” consoled Wang Shouzhe.
“It’s okay, I’m not upset.” Green Fern’s eyes swiftly turned as she said, “Shouzhe, if you buy a set of trial equipnt, I’ll bear you children.”
“…” Wang Shouzhe turned his head away, not wanting to engage with her.
“Wang Ying Xuan, my dear Xuan Xuan, Bloodline 80 points, Commander 20 points, Martial power 16 points, Charm 18 points, Wisdom 16 points, Opportunity 15 points, Total 165 points.”
The current highest score, it seems that Wang Liyao is her only competitor now, and she has also nailed the full score of 20 points in the commander! Also, excluding the bloodline score, she has 85 points, which is 1 point higher than Luo Qiu.
All eyes were focused on Wang Liyao.
Ling Yun’s voice grew even more excited: “My darling Yao Yao’s score has arrived, Bloodline 100 points, Commander 20 points, Martial power 18 points, Charm 19 points, Wisdom 18 points, Opportunity 14 points, Total 189 points!”
Aside from the sowhat low score for the obscure category of opportunity, the rest were high scores, and even without the bloodline points, she scored 89.
“Yao Yao, the final challenge is to ask your heart; you must answer truthfully according to your conscience.” Ling Yun excitedly said, “I ask you, who is the person you like the most?”
“It’s my father, Wang Shouzhe,” Wang Liyao answered without hesitation.
“When you have to choose between saving your father and the destruction of the human race, which will you choose?”
“I will choose to save my father,” Wang Liyao answered again without hesitation.
“Ah, this conflicts with the dedication spirit of the Lingyun Holy Ground,” Ling Yun said regretfully, “According to the rules, you’ll be docked 30 points. This makes your score lower than Xuan Xuan’s.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Wang Liyao replied calmly, “There will always be a codex that won’t require to sacrifice my father.”
Wang Shouzhe felt very gratified; his daughter hadn’t been raised in vain. If she couldn’t obtain the Transcendent Cloud Codex, daddy would take her to look for the Immortal Scripture.
“Alright, this after all is the way of your heart,” although Ling Yun felt it was a pity, “Now you only have 159 points, lower than Xuan Xuan, but Xuan Xuan also has to go through ‘ask heart.'”
“Wang Ying Xuan, who is the person you like most?” Ling Yun asked.
“My grandmother Liu Ruolan, grandma is so good to ,” said Wang Ying Xuan.
“When you have to choose between saving your grandma and the destruction of the human race, which will you choose?” Ling Yun inquired.
“Isn’t that obvious? Of course, I’d save my grandma,” Wang Ying Xuan said with a roll of her eyes, “Does the old ancestor of Lingyun have a problem in his head? Leaving behind such an ‘ask heart’ question? Once I’m in charge, the first order will be to change the ‘ask heart’ question.”
“Cough cough!” Jiang Zhencang hurriedly said, “Xuan’er must not slander the old ancestor. The old ancestor also had the best interests of the human race in mind, after all, the Sacred Land has its responsibilities.”
“Dock 30 points; you now only have 135 points,” Ling Yun said regretfully, then her gaze turned to Wang Licui, ranked third, “And you, who is the person you like most? If you get through ‘ask heart,’ you have a bonus in points, perhaps you will beco the future master of the Sacred Land.”
“? I’m not sure, I always feel like both Fourth Uncle and Master are very fond of ,” said Wang Licui.
In an instant, Yunyang Enlightened One felt tears welling up; his treasured disciple hadn’t been raised in vain. However, he really hoped that Lici would say next that she’s willing to save the world, as that would an she had won.
“The sa question for you, when faced with choosing between saving your Fourth Uncle and Master or the annihilation of the human race, what would you choose?”
“Save Fourth Uncle and Master,” Wang Licui blinked and said, “What does the end of the world have to do with ?”
“Deduct 30 points, you now only have 120 points.”
Yunyang the Enlightened One thumped his chest in frustration, “Silly girl, how could you be so foolish? The life of your Master ans nothing compared to the leader of the Sacred Land.”
“Master, you’re the foolish one. Without you, food wouldn’t even taste good.”
“Then what’s the point of keeping Fourth Uncle around? Haven’t you always said that he’s the Great Demon King, that he bullies you? You could have chosen to save only half, maybe then we could still win…”
“…?” Wang Shouzhe.
“No, no, although Fourth Uncle is the Great Demon King, I feel like I’ve been missing him all along… He’s the one I’ve missed the most these years.”
Wang Shouzhe nodded in relief, content that his efforts in raising the child were not in vain – Fourth Uncle cherishes you.
“Green Fern, Green Fern, who is your favorite?” Ling Yun asked next, “You have 149 points, just one more good answer and you win.”
“? I don’t know.” Green Fern thought hard and shook her head.
“The one you care about the most, the one you least want to see die,” Ling Yun probed with a gossiping tone, “Soone like Wang Shouzhe.”
“Okay then, Wang Shouzhe.” Green Fern pondered a bit, feeling indeed that she least wanted to see Wang Shouzhe die.
Indeed that was the case.
The whole assembly of Lingyun Holy Ground looked at Wang Shouzhe with gazes as if holding concrete evidence.
Especially Emperor Longchang, whose look couldn’t be more ambiguous, as if at any mont he would sell him off to Liu Ruolan.
Wang Shouzhe turned his head away, unwilling to deal with these people.
“When choosing to save between Wang Shouzhe and the human race, what is your choice?” Ling Yun asked with curious and gossiping interest, “I hope you answer sincerely, as this concerns the position of the Sacred Master. But don’t lie to —I can sense the truth.”
“Can I choose to save the [Trial Pod]?” Green Fern said hopefully, “Of course, I don’t wish for either humans or Wang Shouzhe to be annihilated.”
This internet-addicted girl… Wang Shouzhe facepald, grateful that the answer wasn’t flawed; otherwise, he’d definitely face interrogation by Ruolan back ho.
“Wrong answer, lose 30 points. Even if you had chosen to save Wang Shouzhe it would have been better,” Ling Yun said helplessly, “None of you four World’s Best have passed the Test of Conscience. There are fewer and fewer people with the spirit of sacrifice these days.”
“I can do it though,” Zhen Shicong exclaid excitedly, jumping out, “My beloved is my Master, Tianhuo the Enlightened One. I am willing to sacrifice him to save all of humanity.”
“You little brat!” Tianhuo the Enlightened One almost choked on his own blood; his disciple had been raised in vain.
“No use, none of you have another chance,” Ling Yun said. “The Test of Conscience only allows for a change of 30 points either way. Now, with Wang Luoqiu in fifth place, even if she gained 30 points the difference would still be too vast.”
“What?” Zhen Shicong was stupefied, how could this be? Lower points an no rights at all? This whole ruse was for nothing – oh no, why does Master’s gaze look like he’s about to eat soone?
“So the ultimate victor remains my dear darling Li Yao,” Ling Yun declared, thrilled, “Even though you lack in the spirit of sacrifice, your other abilities crush all opposition. You are still the best successor for my Transcendent Cloud Codex.”
“Li Yao, from now on, you are the successor Saintess of Lingyun Holy Ground. Old Jiang, let’s hurry up with the inheritance; this Codex can’t wait to rge with Li Yao – it’s so exciting just thinking about it!”
Jiang Zhencang’s face turned dark; after over three thousand years of togetherness, couldn’t you show a little more reluctance?
