"Is there no one else? Don't be such a wimp!" Tang Rao called out again. After Long Changsheng was done for, no one else ca forward.
Anyway, Tang Rao didn't really expect those two Heavenly Immortal first-tiers to challenge Lu Jun.
Since Long Changsheng, a Heavenly Immortal second-tier, got wiped out, where would those two find the courage to challenge?
"How about I give it a go?" A few minutes later, soone finally stood up.
To Tang Rao's surprise, it turned out to be one of the two Heavenly Immortal first-tiers.
Could this person also be like Geng Bucuo, with amazing fighting prowess?
"Um, my na is He Xi, I challenge him," He Xi pointed at Madman and said.
What the heck?
You, a Heavenly Immortal first-tier, challenging a fifth-tier Earth Immortal, do you have no sha?
"I an, just now there wasn't any rule about rank matching, so... this should be okay, right?" He Xi asked Tang Rao.
Tang Rao: "..."
Honestly, I thought I was shaless enough, but I didn't expect there to be soone even more shaless than . For you to say sothing like that openly, I can't help but admire you for being such a man, a hard-as-nails man.
"Fine, of course, it's fine, co on," Tang Rao gritted his teeth and said.
What could he do? At the start, they indeed didn't specify that you had to pick an opponent of your own Realm.
So, a Heavenly Immortal Level challenging an Earth Immortal is just fine as long as he's shaless enough, and there's nothing he can do about it.
Besides, speaking of which, Tang Rao kind of admired He Xi. To be so shaless at a Heavenly Immortal Level, it shows the guy has grand aspirations.
This kind of person might do great things in the future.
Xiao Yun would definitely lose, and Lu Jun was a doubtful case too, but if he didn't challenge, then he'd have to go through the regular examination route, so challenging Madman was the simplest and most practical way.
Although it's a bit embarrassing, face is sothing you don't bring at birth or take away at death. To accomplish a set goal with the least cost, that is the true path.
"Shaless, I surrender," Madman didn't waste any words and surrendered right away.
Joking aside, the guy is at least a first-tier Heavenly Immortal, albeit a shaless one, but still a Heavenly Immortal.
How could a fifth-tier Earth Immortal fight that? Madman could be fierce, but he couldn't win. Even if Tang Rao himself took part, it would be a sure-fire thrashing.
"Then I've won," He Xi said with a smile, without a hint of embarrassnt.
"Fine, you've won," Tang Rao rolled his eyes and said.
As for the other first-tier Heavenly Immortal, he didn't challenge Madman. Probably couldn't swallow his pride.
In the end, out of the ninety-sothing people, about seventy didn't challenge and chose the regular examination.
Tan Rao had no interest in these seventy at all. They think they're geniuses but have no ambition, utterly worthless.
"Alright, now it's your turn," having dealt with the self-proclaid geniuses, Tang Rao looked towards those few who didn't think highly of themselves but also didn't see themselves as worthless.
"Man, you guys really put in a tough spot." Tang Rao said, pursing his lips.
"Why is that?" asked the sa pretty girl who had posed the question earlier.
"Because none of you are geniuses or good-for-nothings, you see, my usual approach is simple: I either take in geniuses to make our Kao Shan Sect aweso, or I take in the less gifted to work on sect construction. You're neither geniuses nor useless, so what am I supposed to do with you? Have you just hang around idly every day? If I let you focus on cultivation, your talents aren't up to snuff; if I get you to help build our sect, you'd probably feel aggrieved. So what am I to do?" Tang Rao spread his hands and asked.
"Actually, you can look at it from a different angle. We can both focus on cultivation and contribute to sect construction. We're versatile; wherever there's a need, we'll be there," said the lovely girl, Xiu Qing.
Tang Rao: "..."
I've really been taken for a ride here, such a smooth talker you are. If I hadn't been an old hand at hearing this kind of spiel, I might have actually fallen for it.
The whole 'wherever there's a need, we'll be there'... That'll be more like 'wherever there's a ss, there you'll be'!
"Alright, I've got it." Tang Rao suddenly snapped his fingers.
"I don't care whether you're being modest or diocre, I've made up my mind. This is how we're going to assess you. Make it through this, and you can join the Kao Shan Sect, do exceptionally well and you can even beco an elder right away; if not, well, sorry, but please co earlier next ti when the Kao Shan Sect is recruiting," Tang Rao said.
"Sect Master, please tell us," the lovely girl said.
"Right, take one of these first." Tang Rao handed out a piece of paper to each person.
"It's a written test, listen to the question carefully: Here's the scenario. You are a general, leading fifty thousand troops to defend a city with one million civilians inside. The enemy laying siege has eighty thousand troops. If the city gate remains closed, they can't do anything. Now, here's the question. The enemy general sends ten thousand troops disguised among fifty thousand refugees from your own country asking you to open the gates. What would you do? Hm, if you open the gates and let this ten thousand enemy troops in, it would create a collaboration of forces inside and outside, and the city would be taken," Tang Rao rattled off.
This is a classic military strategy question.
Of course, it's not just about military strategy, it involves a variety of elents.
Your answer would reveal issues in all sorts of areas.
"Start answering, you have ten minutes. Go," said Tang Rao with a nod.
Everyone began writing, so imdiately started, so didn't move their pens right away but chose to think first.
The pretty woman didn't start writing imdiately either, but gently furrowed her brows and contemplated the aning behind the question.
"Bro, how should I answer this?" Lu Jun quietly asked on the side.
Tang Rao shrugged: "Not so sure myself, there could be a hundred solutions for a hundred people. What do you think should be done in this situation?"
Lu Jun frowned: "The fifty thousand are our own people, we definitely can't just recklessly kill them. But if ten thousand enemy troops mix in, the city may fall, and a million civilians inside might be in danger, this... I don't know what to do."
"Rubbish." Tang Rao flipped Lu Jun the bird.
Of course, in his heart Tang Rao knew Lu Jun's response was consistent with his character; the kid never had the decisiveness for this kind of dilemma.
Soon, ten minutes were up.
Tang Rao quickly collected the papers from everyone's hands.
"First one, Tang Guanghui," Tang Rao picked up a paper and began reading, "Your answer is: Open a slit in the gate, let them in a few at a ti, then check them one by one, let the civilians in and imdiately kill the enemy troops."
"Hmm, I think this is the best solution," a young man stood up and said.
"The best solution? Go to hell, you think those ten thousand enemies are idiots? If you open a crack, won't they just charge in? Your city gate would be busted wide open in minutes. Don't think you can just pass because we share the sa surna; get lost, and don't co back until next ti!" Tang Rao yelled.
What a lousy thod, opening a tiny slit, are you out of your mind, you think this is so kind of brain teaser?
