Back at the Yue Clan’s Castle. The Royal Swordswoman had left to find Jun Wu You to report the incident of the Necromancers’ death in Eagle’s Cry Valley at Gui Jian Chou.
At first, Yue Yang thought that his reward would immediately be given to him. He never thought that Jun Wu You would become extremely furious instead.
Jun Wu You thought that not only did these two reckless brats not return to report back when they saw the Necromancers, they had even decided to thoroughly investigate the matter. They have committed one sin after another. Although Yue Yang and the Royal Swordswoman had brought victory home, he thought that they were simply lucky. Had they met a Lich or a Great Lich instead, their small lives would have been in extreme danger. The Emperor had then passed an order to ground her daughter, who had recklessly taken matters into her own hands, for three months. Luckily, Yue Yang was considered to have been forced to collaborate with the Royal Swordswoman and was a victim of his daughter’s recklessness. He did not receive a very heavy punishment.
The guard that Jun Wu You had sent said that as for the Water Avoiding Droplet that Yue Yang wanted, it was not that Jun Wu You couldn’t give it to him, but rather it was just that he must first pass the Ranker’s Battle Sense Test.
They didn’t have a high requirement for him; it would be fine as long as he passed.
However, this sort of test that wasn’t like any tests in normal school really made life very difficult for Yue Yang… Let alone himself, even Yue Bing, who had studied for four years in Shang Jing Academy wouldn’t be able to help Yue Yang.
Thinking of cheating? Sorry, no can do.
There were some things that looked easy on the surface. For example, one of the questions was: How were the [Purple Gold Twisting Conch] and [Purple Gold Twisting Screw] related to each other?
One was a crustacean-type beast. The other was a part of a metal puppet beast. Who the heck would know how these two things were related to each other?
Yue Bing also did not understand. In the end, Yue Yang took the chance to ask the Fifth Elder when he visited him. In the end, Fifth Elder had nodded his head solemnly and said that those two were indeed related to each other. Furthermore, they were very closely interrelated. However, when Yue Yang asked him how they were they related, this old fellow had pretended to be secretive instead. No matter how Yue Yang had secretly persuaded the little mischievous Yue Shuang to pull at his beard, he wouldn’t say how they were related, no matter what.
Another example was a simple medicinal question. If a warrior had been bitten by a Star-dotted Sandsnake beast, what was the best kind of medicine to apply immediately? Was it the Sitting Thornyback Lizard’s saliva, or the Silver Haired Tree’s tree sap?
After rummaging through the beast and medicine encyclopedia to check, Yue Yang was blown away with shock.
This was because not only the Sand Snake’s venom, the other two ‘medicine’, the Sitting Thornyback Lizard’s saliva and the Silver Haired Tree’s tree sap were all highly poisonous liquids. Ordinary people would die in one breath if they were to apply any of the three on their injury. Could it be that these things could fight poison with poison? Yue Yang was sweating greatly when he saw this. What a crazy question! Even Yue Bing, a model student in her Academy, did not know the answer. How did this question even come about?
There were some questions that Yue Bing seemed to be able to do, but also unable to. For example, discussing about a beast’s level, demon crystal core quality, puppet’s heart, and Demon Abyss languages…
Yue Yang realised that if he had to take the test with his own power, he could only get a big zero.
