Chapter 537 Final Assessment

"Are you surprised? Are you surprised? Are you happy?"

There was dead silence in the room.

"Hmm?" Yun Shu tilted her head slightly and let out a soft exclamation.

The next second, a sparse clapping sound came from below.

"welcome!"

"Senior Sister Yun Shu, we miss you so much, haha..."

Yun Shu was immediately satisfied.

It would be even better if the expressions on these little guys' faces weren't so stiff and exaggerated.

"Starting tomorrow, for three days, our Dragon and Tiger Ranking members will conduct a final assessment for you. The specific assessment content is quite simple."

"Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, we will suppress our cultivation and take turns sparring with you. As long as you can endure it, you will pass the test."

"Of course, students who are not skilled in combat can also choose to take the assessment in alchemy, weapon crafting, formations, talismans, etc..."

"..."

Yun Shu explained the rules of the final assessment to everyone.

In summary, the key is to pass the test by enduring the pressure from members of the "Dragon and Tiger Ranking" for the duration of an incense stick burning without crying out in distress.

After Yun Shu and the others left, a series of wails broke out in Zi Gui Garden.

"...Ugh! How can there be such a devilish rule as a final exam?!"

"By the way, sixty years have passed. Isn't the new Heroes' Gathering about to begin? I wonder which faction will emerge as the champion this time?"

"No matter who it is, they can't possibly be stronger than our boss..."

These words were met with agreement from those around him.

To break through to the Nascent Soul stage within sixty years of a new student is extremely rare, even in the Jixia Academy where geniuses abound; it's a case that might only occur once every three thousand years.

"It's a pity we can't go out, otherwise I really wanted to go and see the gathering of heroes..."

"Come on, it's not like you haven't been there before."

"How can that be the same? I was there to compete..."

"Brother Rong Shu, you've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, so can you go out and watch the competition now?" someone asked Rong Shu.

To this, Rong Shu smiled and said, "I'm not very interested in competitions. Cultivating at the academy is the most important thing."

It's just a gathering of heroes.

Having been to high places, I realized they weren't all that great.

"Everyone, I'm leaving now."

"See you later, boss."

Rong Shu waved his hand, putting all the items on the table into his storage bag, and then got up and left.

Xing Xue and the others have been in seclusion for a long time and did not come to Ziguiyuan for class today. Duan Yuyan is not a freshman and cannot enter Ziguiyuan for class.

Rong Shu planned to go find Duan Yuyan first, and then go to the secluded room to check on Xing Xue and the other three.

"...It has to be our boss! Over the years, he's taken so many courses, yet he's gotten top marks in every single one of them at the end of the year. It's truly... terrifying!"

"But it's also because of the boss that the teacher scolds me for being lazy and stupid every few days..."

"Shouldn't you have yelled at me? You were daydreaming in class!"

"I was cultivating my divine sense! Do you understand what cultivating divine sense means? It wasn't daydreaming!"

"..."

As Rong Shu emerged from the Cuckoo Garden, the sounds of laughter and curses behind him gradually faded away.

[A little anecdote: I've left the Cuckoo Garden...]

Rong Shu was sending a message to Duan Yuyan when she suddenly heard someone calling her name.

"Junior Sister Rong."

Yun Shu beckoned: "Come here for a moment."

Rong Shu walked over and asked, "Senior Sister Yun Shu, is there something you need from me?"

“Tomorrow, your final assessment will be handled solely by Chief Scholar Jiuxiao. You don’t need to come to Zigui Garden; just go directly to the inner mountain to find Chief Scholar Jiuxiao,” Yun Shu said.

Rong Shu was taken aback: "Huh? The Chief of the Nine Heavens is my examiner?"

"Yes, aren't you surprised? You're the only one like this."

Rong Shu: "..." This is a surprise? This is clearly a shock, okay?

Yun Shu smiled warmly and patted Rong Shu's shoulder: "Do your best on the exam, I believe in you, Junior Sister Rong."

Rong Shu: "...Thank you, Senior Sister."

"Also, since you're close to Feng Qianli and the others, please inform them that they'll be leaving seclusion tomorrow and coming to Ziguiyuan for their final assessment."

"Okay, Senior Sister Yun Shu."

Suddenly—

The clear, cloudless sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed faintly in the distance.

Dark clouds loomed overhead, as if unleashing supreme divine might.

Rong Shu's pupils contracted.

Yun Shu smiled and said, "It seems I don't need you to remind me."

“That direction is the Eight Wonders Sect. Has someone broken through to the Nascent Soul stage? Could it be Feng Qianli and the others?” Rong Shu’s eyes lit up.

Great.

If they cannot break through to the Nascent Soul stage, even after the new student period ends, it will be difficult for them to leave the academy unless they can persuade Xiao Duanzi to find the Grand Master to give them special treatment.

Now, if Feng Qianli and the others can really advance to the Nascent Soul stage, then there will be no such concerns.

"I wonder who broke through..." Just as Rong Shu's thought arose, he saw a new cloud of tribulation clouds gathering in the sky.

Is this the second tribulation of lightning? And whose is it?

"Senior Sister Yun Shu, I'll go take a look first!" In the blink of an eye, Rong Shu took off on the wind and headed straight for the direction of the Eight Wonders Sect.
