Chapter 68: Advanced Scholar Examination
Chapter 68: Advanced Scholar Examination
Upon entering, the elderly man walked to the back of the room and activated a magical device mounted on the wall.
A soft hum filled the air as a pale blue magical glow enveloped the entire room.
"This is the Magic Imaging Device. It records the entire examination to prevent any cheating. You don't mind, do you?"
The old man looked at Su Yu with a questioning gaze.
"Of course not."
Su Yu took a deep breath to steady himself, recalling the questions he had memorized from his past life, preparing himself as thoroughly as possible.
Seeing Su Yu's confident demeanor, the old man's eyes flickered with approval.
"When do we start?"
"Whenever you're ready."
"Alright, let's begin. I'll explain the rules."
The old man folded his arms and looked at Su Yu, his expression growing serious.
"The Advanced Scholar Examination consists of 30 questions. Answering 21 correctly will ensure your passage. The rules are that simple."
"21 questions?" Su Yu's face showed a moment of surprise.
"Is there a problem?"
"No, no problem. Please proceed."
Su Yu hid his surprise, feeling a wave of relief. In his past life, the "Advanced Scholar Examination" required 24 correct answers to pass, but that was during the sixth expansion. He hadn't expected the early stages of the exam to only require 21 correct answers.
"The first ten questions will be in a written format. Due to the rushed nature of this examination, we'll conduct them as oral questions. It's the same thing."
"Listen to the first question: Where is the main production area of Silver Moon Grass?"
Su Yu thought for a moment and then answered clearly, "The main production areas for Silver Moon Grass are: the Everfrost Valley in Thorn City of the Lien Empire, the Minotaur Plantation on Rhodes Island, the Spring Song Forest in Cloud City of the Golden Sparrow Empire, and the Snowflake Woods in Giant Tree City."
"That's enough; three answers are sufficient."
The old man interrupted Su Yu, who was about to continue listing more locations, as if reciting a menu. However, from this first question, the old man could see that Su Yu was genuinely knowledgeable, which explained his confidence.
"Second question: What is the role of Golden Radiance Stone in the 6th-tier potion, Eternal Fury?"
"Golden Radiance Stone shatters when exposed to energy surges, releasing a large amount of energy. The addition of Golden Radiance Stone in Eternal Fury is to ensure the potion's effects are released quickly."
"Completely correct! Next, the third question: The theoretical framework of the Markmond Configuration."
The ten oral questions were answered swiftly. Apart from one question about "bow resistance calculation" that he couldn't answer, Su Yu flawlessly answered the other nine.
The old man was highly satisfied with Su Yu's performance.
In the Scholar's Sanctuary, a new Advanced Scholar only appeared every two to three years. Most candidates could only answer six or seven questions correctly during the written portion, and answering eight was rare. Su Yu had answered nine correctly!
"It seems the Sanctuary will be gaining some fresh blood," the old man thought to himself.
"Next is the drawing portion. There are five drawing questions. You just need to use your magic to sketch what I describe."
"No problem."
"Draw a Spirit Wing Dragon on the left and a stream of Fel Energy on the right."
Under the old man's guidance, the drawing portion began. However, the drawing portion was often referred to as the "easy section" and was not particularly challenging.
Everything the old man described could be found in the Continental Encyclopedia, making it much easier than the first section.
Su Yu easily completed the five drawings, passing this part of the test.
The remaining 15 questions required him to answer 7 correctly to pass the Advanced Scholar Examination!
...
“Little brother, you’ve done quite well. Can you tell me who your teacher is?” the elder looked at Su Yu with admiration.
“Sorry, I learned these things from books. I don’t have a teacher,” Su Yu smiled.
The elder didn’t believe him: “Since you’re not willing to say, I won’t force you.”
He waved his hand, and a radiant staff glowing with light light light from of light light from from a] a space ring from a staff glowing with a magic and. “Let’s continue with the rest of the examination. I hope you pass smoothly.”
“Sure,” Su Yu nodded, focusing his attention on the remaining questions.
...
The remaining 15 questions included 7 magic image analysis questions.
For these 7 questions, the elder would present 7 scenes, and Su Yu had to identify the era and from and and which was and significant event.
The elder waved his staff, and a large amount of magic energy emerged, projecting a magic image on the snow-white wall.
Kill!
The magic image was filled with earth-shattering battle cries.
Along with the shouts, there were intense sounds of impact and clashing blades.
In the image, valiant human warriors were battling enemies who towered over them. These enemies included orcs, trolls, and minotaurs. The this scene, it must be the Third Human-Beast War, which took place in the Zexi Plains.
The elder didn’t stop the magic image but followed up with a question: “Little brother, how did you determine it was the Third Human-Beast War? Not the first or second?”
Su Yu answered confidently: “It’s simple. The shoulder armor of the human in the image bears the crest of the Franken family. The Franken family only came into existence after the Second Human-Beast War.”
“Very good! Perfect answer!” the elder nodded in satisfaction.
He waved his staff again, and a second magic image appeared on the wall.
This image, however, was peculiar.
The scene was indescribable.
Looking at the image, Su Yu felt as if he were back in those late-night hours, secretly opening the D drive’s “study materials” to watch.
“Ahem, the man in the image should be the Emperor of the Golden Sparrow Empire! After all, the inner garments are made of the highest-quality silk from the Panda Empire.”
“Regarding the content, this is the emperor displaying his... unique combat techniques to his concubines?”
Su Yu stroked his chin, surprised that the emperor was still so vigorous in his old age!
The elder’s usually calm face couldn’t hide his embarrassment, and he quickly canceled the magic image:
“Ahem, little brother, this was just an accident. Who knows which perverted scribe mixed this in the image library. You’ve passed this question.”
The elder waved his staff again, and the next magic image appeared.
After the 7 magic image questions, the remaining 8 were identification questions.
The elder went to the temple’s warehouse and selected some precious minerals, herbs, and magical beast leathers for Su Yu to identify their origins and uses.
Su Yu performed exceptionally well, correctly answering 6 out of the 8 identification questions.
Thus, all 30 questions were answered, and the Advanced Scholar Examination was successfully completed.
The elder sent the magic images to his colleagues for joint review.
In the end, the temple’s higher-ups unanimously agreed that Su Yu had answered 26 questions correctly, passing the “Advanced Scholar Examination” smoothly!
