Chapter 267: The Demon's Exam [Extra Chapter for White Silver Alliance's True Intent]
With such a huge benefit, many of the high-level experts in the Guardian Pavilion couldn't help but get restless. After all this time, no big fish has entered this nest. It's better to just cast the net now. Who knows, there might be unexpected gains?
Of course, some managed to stay calm and continued to wait.
Overall, chaos ensued.
The senior students of White Cloud Martial Academy were also involved in the operation. In the air above the city, one could easily spot several people flying around.
Fang Che had nothing to do all day.
He was just waiting for the end of his shift.
During this time, he decided to observe the people in the Executor Hall.
Throughout the day, people constantly entered and exited. Some came and went over a dozen times, hurrying in and out, while others remained in the hall, never leaving.
Occasionally, a call would ring out: "Situation!"
Instantly, dozens of people would rush out together.
Without the need for coordination, everything was orderly. It was clear whose turn it was or who was responsible...
Crystal clear.
People from the Battle Hall kept calling for assistance, while those from the Emergency Response team also called for help. Over here, regardless of the situation, there were always at least fifty people on standby.
Fan Tianyao visited the Battle Hall over a dozen times and the Executor Hall five or six times in a single day, moving like a flying person.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"Come, a few of you!"
"The west side of the city, the west side!"
"A nest has formed in the west side of the city!"
"..."
Aside from the customary fishing technique code, each squad had their own unique signals, creating a chaotic mess.
"Where's Black Mountain? Speed up, speed up!"
"There's a fish in the north sea, let's go!"
"..."
Fang Che could only listen with a headache and a sense of awkwardness.
However, the participants didn't feel the awkwardness. Instead, they seemed to feel a sense of coolness.
Their faces glowed with excitement.
Even when others gave them uncomprehending looks, they felt a sense of pride.
"These young people are truly amusing..."
Fang Che sighed sincerely.
...
Fang Che's branch had become a gold mine, as various sect branches sent their compensations.
A mountain of gold and silver, indeed.
Over fifty people, each holding a thick, large book, were memorizing it with utmost seriousness, their abilities comparable to that of students before the college entrance exam.
These individuals had good innate talent and excellent comprehension, and their memory capabilities were naturally exceptional.
But the problem was... No matter how strong their memory, who could guarantee that they could recite such a thick law code in one day?
That was purely making things difficult.
Many of them had long faces, feeling like they had lost all hope in life.
Especially the original grandmasters, they were no longer as young as these new aristocratic descendants.
They were already of advanced age.
At this age, there was a peculiar trait: they could memorize things quickly, but they forgot even faster!
They could recite the material, but as soon as they turned the page and saw something new, they would forget what was on the previous page.
One by one, they scratched their heads.
Zhao Wushang suggested, "We can set a range, for example, today we'll just focus on the first hundred pages. That will make it much easier."
"Hehe... Is the Starlight Commander's exam also just the first hundred pages?"
"There should be some focus, right?"
"Then you go and tell the Commander."
No matter what they said, they didn't dare to speak up.
So, everyone continued to painfully memorize.
Each of them felt like their brains were about to explode.
"I never thought that one day I'd be memorizing a book like this, and it's the law code... I'm so screwed..."
"Me too... This is something I did when I was seven years old..."
Compared to the group of boys, the girls were much quieter. They huddled together, softly reciting, eyes closed as they memorized. Then, they turned the page, and after a few pages, they silently flipped back to review...
It must be said that just witnessing this learning atmosphere, even if Dong Fang San San were here, he wouldn't believe that these gentle and refined scholars studying the law code were actually members of the demon sect!
The diligence of these people reached a level that would make all top scholars feel ashamed. Even during mealtimes, they held their books and continued memorizing.
"If only we had jade slips, we could just snap them into our heads..."
Someone suddenly had a brilliant idea.
This remark immediately caught everyone's attention, their eyes lighting up like light bulbs: "If only we had jade slips..."
But even if they had the talent, there was no time to create jade slips now.
All they could do was sigh and drool.
Under the high-pressure supervision of Fang Che, a group of demons' diligently studied the law code of the Guardian Pavilion. To encourage themselves, they even shouted slogans.
"I love studying!"
"Studying makes me happy!"
"Studying makes me fulfilled!"
"So happy, woohoo!"
As it turned out, when you study hard, time flies.
The sun gradually moved westward, and in the blink of an eye, dusk arrived.
"Today went by so fast... I didn't even realize it was already afternoon..."
"I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead. I haven't even memorized much yet."
"Oh..."
A chorus of lament filled the air.
But dusk arrived, unyielding and unstoppable.
Night slowly descended.
Everyone started to feel anxious.
"When does the Starlight Commander usually come?"
"Usually, it's around midnight."
"Oh... That's good, that's good. Let's eat quickly and then continue memorizing!"
Zhao Wushang, like a hungry wolf, stuffed an entire steamed bun into his mouth. His eyes, hungry for knowledge, were fixed on the book pages as he read intently.
Then, he grabbed another bun and shoved it into his mouth, his cheeks bulging like a hamster's.
Reaching into the plate, Zhao Wu Bai grabbed a piece of pickled vegetable and chewed on it, his neck stretching as he watched a food lump move down his throat, resembling a snake swallowing an egg.
"Why bother with so much food... It's a waste of time; pickled vegetables are enough." Zhao Wu Bai complained, also stretching his neck.
A food lump...
The girls, in comparison, ate more elegantly, taking small bites, but they were no slower.
Several girls had prepared a large pot of cold tea by their side. When they couldn't swallow, they would take a sip, the water gurgling down their throats.
Mumbling to herself, one of them recited, "...Continental Law Code, Criminal Law..."
It had to be said that if these people participated in the Five Talks, Four Beauties, and Three Loves...
Their eyes constantly darted towards the entrance, fearing the arrival of the demon-like Starlight Commander at any moment.
This would be a disaster.
The night deepened gradually.
Finally...
The sound of horse carriages approached, followed by the creaking open of the main door.
The Starlight Commander entered, his face as detestable as ever.
"Oh, everyone's here..."
"We're screwed!"
Everyone wailed in unison, without exception.
Fang Che jumped down from the carriage and instructed, "Come, gather these things. They are writing tools for the exam. Good stuff, and now you can use them."
Instantly, everyone's faces turned ashen, like they were mourning the death of a parent.
Fang Che walked into the hall with a smug smile, "How is it? Are you all studying well?"
"It's... too much..."
One of the women held up a thick book like a brick in her hand and complained, "It's too thick..."
Her eyes turned red as she spoke.
"How can we memorize it all in a day? Waaah..."
Fang Che frowned, "Who told you to memorize it all in a day? Today, you'll only need to know the first quarter of the book!"
Everyone stared at him in disbelief, "Commander, is that true?"
"Of course, it's true!"
"Woohoo... Long live the Commander!"
A wave of excitement swept through the group.
Many quickly flipped to the first, I think we should focus on the exam."
"Ahhh... This is great, this is great..."
"The Commander is a good person!"
"Long live the Commander!"
"Commander, I love you!" a girl shouted.
Fang Che gave her a sidelong glance, "Love me? Then marry me."
The girl lowered her head, unable to speak.
The Starlight Commander's face turned dark as he remained silent.
Despite knowing that the upcoming exam wouldn't be pleasant, everyone almost laughed out loud, holding back with great effort, their bellies nearly bursting.
The last question and answer were simply too comedic.
Seeing the Starlight Commander's dark face, everyone found it even more amusing.
Pfft... Pfft...
Fang Che's face darkened as he picked up a book.
Everyone watched as the Starlight Commander flipped to the first quarter, marking the page with a fold.
Those with sharp eyes quickly followed suit, folding their books as well.
The Commander sat tall on his throne, flipping through the pages, clearly searching for questions.
His eyebrows furrowed.
Anxiety filled the room.
Everyone focused intently on their books.
An hour passed quickly.
"Everyone, hand in your books!"
Fang Che began giving orders.
Everyone performed the same action: tightly clutching their books, slowly walking forward, their eyes filled with longing, hoping for one last question...
"Each person gets a small stool, writing tools, and a space of ten feet between each other."
Instantly, everyone was in position.
They sat upright.
"Now, I'll announce the exam rules. No talking, no cheating, no notes. If discovered, your exam will be canceled, and you'll receive a hundred floggings, and be expelled from the branch."
Everyone's eyes were fixed straight ahead, not daring to glance around.
"The exam has one hundred questions. One point per question, and sixty points is passing. Eighty points is excellent, and ninety-eight points and above will be rewarded with a single room."
"Wow! A single room!"
Everyone was excited. Not one of them had a single room the night before, and although they were safe, the snoring, teeth grinding, and farting... were unbearable.
This was too much. Snoring, teeth grinding, and farting... they couldn't take it anymore!
Now, with the chance for a single room, everyone was thrilled.
"I'll divide you into small teams. Those with ninety-eight points and above can be squad leaders!"
"Wow! Squad leaders!"
"Below sixty points, fifty-nine points will receive twenty floggings, fifty-eight points will receive thirty floggings, fifty-seven points will receive..."
"Expulsion for below fifty points!"
"Did everyone understand?"
"We understand!"
"Good, now begin answering. I'll first read out the hundred questions, and you'll record them. After that, use a separate sheet to answer."
Everyone's ears perked up.
"First question, Continental Law Code, the eighteenth article..."
"Second question... what is a crime, and what does it include..."
"Third..."
Fang Che recited each question, and below, the demon cultivators wrote with fervor.
