The cultivation test was much harder than anyone had thought.
Fully a day had passed and many of the cultivators could barely cover even half of the 100 questions.
Ji Yuan had covered more than half of the questions because he had skipped many of the questions or he was making a wild guess at the questions.
When the old immortal spirit entity declared it was now time up, the scores of the cultivators were flashing in front of them.
Ji Yuan was quite stunned to see that he had scored 0 for the cultivation test.
What the heck?!
He was not the only 0 warriors here and quite a few of the cultivators had scored 0s as well.
Ji Yuan was half-expecting Mo Bei to pass the test but he was laughing out loud when he saw that Mo Bei had scored only 5 points.
Mo Bei had a silly look on his face but as he stared in Ji Yuan's direction, he muttered. "Better than you, a zero."
Yun Chi had scored 60 and she was cursing softly.
Ling Feiyue had a 30.
Little Princess scored 25.
Shui Xisi scored 10 points.
Bai Qianfeng scored 64.
Feng Minyue scored 82.
But the most shocking was Yu Jingjing who scored 99 and she was short of 1 point to pass the trial.
Ji Yuan and many of the cultivators were dumbfounded by Yu Jingjing's stunning result and they were wondering how she managed to do it.
Some of the questions like array formations required a long and time-consuming calculation in order to deduct the answer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs for Ji Yuan because he was never even good in any arrays, he just put a random answer.
The old immortal spirit entity was smiling, "It seems that none of you is able to pass this test. Don't worry. You can have unlimited tries. It is just a matter of time for the questions will still be the same."
Many of the cultivators know that the old immortal spirit entity was right. But the problem was that they did not even know if they had answered correctly and even the right answer that they had put may even be a lucky guess.
"You will all be given 1 hour break before your cultivation test will resume again."
Ji Yuan and his group quickly gathered together, gathering around Yu Jingjing who was looking awkwardly as they asked her:
"Jingjing, how did you manage to get 99?"
"I don't even know how to answer many of the questions…"
"I have put a random answer…"
"Can you share with us your answers?"
Ji Yuan was also about to ask Yu Jingjing a couple of questions too when he suddenly saw that their group was being approached by hundreds of cultivators in all directions.
He was immediately frowning for he knew that they were trying to approach Yu Jingjing to obtain the cultivation answers.
The closest cultivator had immediately introduced himself, "I'm Great Saint Zhang Yang and I will like to befriend you…"
Another cultivator nearby quickly raised his voice to cut in, "I am Great Saint Jiang Qi from the Eastern Ocean Fraternity. I will like to befriend…"
As he introduced himself, dozens of cultivators were all hastily introducing themselves as well and quickened their steps toward Ji Yuan's group.
All of a sudden Ji Yuan unsheathed both his immortal swords and thrust it in front of him as he rudely warned, "Back off or face the wrath of my divine swords!"
All the cultivators were startled when they saw the pair of divine swords that were in front of them; this was a pair of immortal-step divine swords and was extremely sought after!
Naturally in order to have even one immortal-step divine sword, the cultivator that owned them need to be a powerful figure in order not to lose these immortal swords as well. Moreover he must also be someone with a considerable background and that he should also be someone who is filthy rich and have other wondrous profound treasures as well.
And so naturally Ji Yuan was not someone that they could easily offend.
This caused them all to halt in their steps.
Ji Yuan continued as he worded sternly to them, "This maiden here is my consort. Whoever is thinking of talking to her is the same as greening me. And don't ever think of cooking an excuse of befriending me because I don't need any friends. Anyone who takes a step more in my direction will have to face my wrath. Got it?"
All the cultivators were stunned at how unfriendly Ji Yuan was.
Some were even muttering, "Is he serious about fighting us all?"
But none of them dared to approach a single step and many of the cultivators were quickly backing off for they could see that Ji Yuan meant business and that his group was not weak either.
Yu Jingjing was flushing shyly as she averted her eyes while thinking, "Ji Yuan has acknowledged me as his consort in front of so many others…"
As Ji Yuan displayed more frowns, more and more cultivators were panicking moving away as they all thought that he may be making a move against him.
Finally when all the cultivators had dispersed, Ji Yuan was able to turn his attention back to his group as he asked Yu Jingjing, "Jingjing, you're impressive. Haha. How did you manage to answer so many of the questions?"
Shui Xisi could not resist a soft exasperation as she looked at Yu Jingjing, "That's right. These questions are impossible to score a perfect 100. I don't believe that anyone can but I think there is only one person that can and that is you."
Yu Jingjing replied humbly, "I didn't answer all the questions correctly."
Feng Minyue smiled, "I am really curious which question that has stumped you is?"
Yu Jingjing smiled, "It is a question on a celestial array. I am afraid that it is a little hard for me."
Yun Chi smiled all of a sudden, "Do you mean question 69? What did you answer?"
Yu Jingjing sighed softly, "I am unsure if it is E or F. We have to add all the profound changes together or to eliminate one of the four choices. So it can be A, B, C or D. I've actually spent three hours on this and this may be the only wrong answer that I may have picked."
Yun Chi sighed softly, "I have picked F and I have cancelled A. But I am unsure if this may be the right answer."
Bai Qianfeng smiled, "It is definitely not E for sure. Because I am quite an expert in arrays."
Yu Jingjing smiled weakly, "I have picked D so I am probably wrong? It may be A or B. I feel that they are equally right."
Ji Yuan chuckled, "It is not A either."
Mo Bei roared with laughter. "For a person that is a zero warrior, you really know some bold words!"
All the other maidens were giggling too.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJi Yuan laughed, "That is because I've picked F before tapping A. So I know that A is not the right answer. Remember I score a 0 for picking this. So obviously the answer is B."
Mo Bei frowned, "Are you sure? Are you sure that you even remember the question correctly and even the answer that you have picked?"
Ji Yuan grinned, "I have a good memory. In fact, I've a spent some time on this question so I am very sure."
Ling Feiyue was impressed, "I didn't know that my lord excels in arrays as well."
Ji Yuan laughed weakly as he recalled his conversations with Xiang Li and Anyang Xiahou…
"Xiang Li, question 69 sounds like a nice position, don't you think? Haha."
"That's right! Xiang Li loves this position best!" Xiang Li had replied to him.
"But coming from you, I'm going to choose F as an answer. Haha. Who knows if this may be the right answer." Ji Yuan laughed.
"Big Brother, you're so mean. Then I want A for the next answer. I am a A and not a F. Remember this is my turn to choose the answer!"
Fairy Anyang was shaking her head, "The two of you are hopeless…"
By the time Ji Yuan had reached his 5th question, he had completely given up on answering any of the cultivation questions. Rather, he had decided that between Anyang, Xiang Li and himself, they would pick one answer turn by turn.
That was how he had remembered question 69.
He did not even remember what the exact answer was even.
Back to the present, Ji Yuan was grinning all of a sudden. "I've an idea…"
Ling Feiyue interrupted, "Don't tell me you want to cheat again?"
Yu Jingjing was suddenly flushing when she recalled Ji Yuan's message…
Ji Yuan chuckled, "Feiyue, this isn't cheating if you are not caught."
Feng Minyue gasped, "This isn't a good idea. We may all get sent to the limbo."
Mo Bei frowned, "Your soul sea isn't pure at all, Junior."
Ji Yuan patted his chest as he laughed, "But my heart is very pure."
