Chapter 863 - Final Examination

"N-No… You have done enough. Here's your token…" The examiner said after snapping out of his daze.

However, just as he was about to hand Li Jinxi her token, the examiner quickly took it back and said, "M-My mistake. I almost gave you the wrong one…"

The examiner took back the white token he was about to give Li Jinxi and handed her the red token instead.

After accepting the token, Li Jinxi began making her way to the next examination.

"Should we introduce ourselves now, or should we wait?" The Sect Masters asked each other.

"Let's wait until after the 3rd examination. I want to see the full extent of her talents."

"I agree. She clearly has heaven-sent talent, but the next examination will test a different aspect of her talents."

Meanwhile, in the third examination area that is still considered the second examination, Wang Ming and the others waited for their turn.

In the middle of the room was a massive crystal suspended in midair that contained an immense amount of spiritual energy.

Once it was Wang Ming's turn, he was told to sit before the crystal and try to absorb as much spiritual energy as he could from the crystal.

Wang Ming closed his eyes and took a deep breath before he started absorbing the spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy in the crystal quickly depleted, but once he absorbed around 65 percent of the spiritual energy, his progress slowed down tremendously.

After absorbing about 70 percent of the crystal's spiritual energy, Wang Ming gave up, as he was unable to store any more spiritual energy in his body.

The moment Wang Ming stopped absorbing the spiritual energy, the crystal immediately began filling back up with spiritual energy until it was completely full again.

"73 percent in about 3 minutes, huh? Very good! Here's your token!" The examiner handed Wang Ming his 3rd red token.

"What kind of test is this?" Wang Ming asked out of curiosity.

"It tests how fast you can absorb spiritual energy, which is basically your cultivation talent." The examiner said.

"What about the previous examination? The one where we had to walk on this lake?"

"That tests your innate talent— your true potential, and it is undoubtedly the most important test in this whole examination."

"I see…"

Wang Bingbing sat in front of the crystal after Wang Ming left for the real 3rd examination.

A few minutes later, Wang Bingbing achieved 75 percent.

"Congratulations. Here is your token." The examiner handed Wang Bingbing a red token.

Shi Lang went next, and he also achieved 73 percent in 3 minutes.

"Seriously? Why am I always achieving the same result as him?" Shi Lang sighed as he went to the next examination.

Meanwhile, Li Jinxi showed up in a separate room and waited for her turn at the crystal.

Many minutes later, Li Jinxi sat before the crystal and began absorbing its spiritual energy.

"W-What the hell is this speed?" The examiner was shocked when he noticed how fast Li Jinxi was emptying the crystal.

And in less than a minute, Li Jinxi managed to absorb all of the spiritual energy from the crystal, leaving the examiner speechless.

'Only 7 people have managed to completely absorb all spiritual energy since the founding of the Seven Spirit Academies! This will make her the 8th person!'

"H-Here is your token…" The examiner handed a red token to Li Jinxi with trembling hands.

"The next examination is where I get to hunt magical beasts, is that correct?" Li Jinxi suddenly asked the examiner.

"Y-Yes, that's correct. In order to pass the 3rd examination, you must hunt magical beasts."

"How powerful are the magical beasts?" She continued to ask.

"Well, they are mostly as powerful as a peak Spirit Apprentice, but there are some as strong as peak Spirit Warriors, and there is even a magical beast with the power of a Spirit Master."

"Hm? Is there something wrong?" The examiner asked Li Jinxi when he noticed the disappointed look on her face.

"The strongest magical beast is only as strong as a Spirit Master…?" She asked.

"Yes." He nodded.

Li Jinxi sighed, and without explaining anything, she made her way to the next examination.

'Did I waste my time by coming here?' She wondered inwardly as she entered the portal to the next examination.

Upon exiting the portal, Li Jinxi found herself in a camp somewhere inside the wilderness with a large group of participants gathered there.

"Welcome to the final examination, and congratulations on making it this far. For this examination, you will need to acquire points by hunting magical beasts, and in order to pass this examination, you will need at least 100 points."

"Not all magical beasts reward the same amount of points, and the stronger the magical beast, the more points you'll receive."

"During this examination, the participants are no longer separated from each other, and you can hinder others' progression. However, keep in mind that you're not allowed to kill other participants."

"Before I send you outside this camp, I will give you all something that will count your points."

The examiner handed a jade slip and continued, "Do you have any questions?"

One of the participants there raised his hand and asked, "Do we have a time limit?"

The examiner nodded, "You have until the disciple examination officially ends in four days."

"If you're too hurt to continue or just want to give up, you can return to the camp and let me or any examiner know."

"Although there are experts scattered around the examination area to lower the casualty rate, you are not completely safe from all danger, so death is still very possible. In fact, there is a 30 percent casualty rate for this part of the examination. You may leave now if you're scared."

After answering all of the participants' questions, the examiner sent them into the wilderness.

The moment Li Jinxi entered the wilderness, she retrieved a large greatsword from her spatial ring and began running around the area hunting magical beasts like a maniac, even interfering with other participants by stealing their prey, which quickly caused an uproar amongst the participants.
