Chapter 1000: The Third Round of the Test
After the other examinees also got out of their chosen environs, they saw that the number one was group 250. They also raised their doubts. Yun Chujiu was too lazy to explain herself. After all, the truth was already shown on the display board.
It was not until the evening of the next day that all the examinees came out. They thought that they would rest for three days before the third round of the test. They did not expect to be informed that the groups ranked in the top 500 would immediately partic.i.p.ate in the third round of the test.
“I am Teacher Ouyang. I’ll be in charge of the third round. All of you will follow me and board the Flying Spirit Tool. We will head to the test site,” said an old man.
Everyone boarded the flying spirit tool in order. Yun Chujiu and the other three found a corner and sat down on the spot to meditate.
The examinees discussed among themselves. “I have never heard of anyone who has to leave the Tianyuan Academy to take the test. Where are they taking us?”
“Who knows?! It’s probably a secret realm or something like that. It should still be used to calculate the scores.”
“No matter where we go, those with high spiritual power will have the advantage. Some people managed to get lucky twice. It’s time for them to show their true colors this time.” The one who spoke was the man surnamed Zhang who was in the same group as Yin Sulian.
“That’s right. I was wondering why they chose the ocean scene. It turns out that they were there to pick up the sc.r.a.ps. The ocean scene hasn’t been picked up for thousands of years. The sea beasts inside don’t know how to fight anymore, so they picked up the sc.r.a.ps.” The fatty who was in the same group as him echoed the sentiment.
Other people also chimed in. They were saying that Yun Chujiu and the others had gotten first place twice due to sheer luck, and not because of their strength.
A few people did not agree. The entry tests at Tianyuan Academy were not just for show. It was a coincidence that they got first place once, and to achieve it a second time was definitely due to their own strength. It seemed that the four people who ascended from the Azure Mystic Continent were not ordinary people. It made sense. To be able to ascend at such a young age, they must have extraordinary abilities. It was better for them not to join in the fun so as not to offend the wrong people.
Three days pa.s.sed in a flash. The flying spirit tool had yet to arrive at the destination. Some of the disciples could not hold themselves back and used their courage to ask Teacher Ouyang, “Teacher Ouyang, how much longer do we have before we reach the location of the trial?”
“Don’t be impatient. We still need at least another half month to arrive.” Teacher Ouyang did not put on airs and said very casually.
Half a month?
Yun Chujiu felt that something was not right. It was not like the people of Tianyuan Academy had their brains kicked by a donkey. Was there a need to go to such a faraway place for an entrance test?
Half a month pa.s.sed by in the blink of an eye, but the flying spirit tool still had not been prepared for landing. Another examinee went to ask Teacher Ouyang, “Teacher Ouyang, it’s been half a month. Why haven’t we arrived at our destination yet?”
“Half a month? I said a month. Did you hear wrongly?” Teacher Ouyang had a puzzled expression.
The examinees immediately exploded. This Teacher Ouyang clearly said half a month before. Why did he say a month now?
Teacher Ouyang changed his amiable expression from before and sternly shouted, “Quiet! If there are any more disagreements, I’ll directly revoke the test qualification. If I say a month, then it means a month. We will be able to reach the test location in a month.”
Everyone was frightened by these words and did not dare to make a sound, for fear of being disqualified.
Another half a month pa.s.sed, and everyone realized that the flying spirit tool still had no intention of landing. No matter how stupid they were, they knew that something was wrong!
