"Running?"
"Running in the book collection vault?"
Hall Master Feng, Beast Tamer Wang, and the others thought that they had heard wrongly and they looked at him in confusion.
If you say that you are reading books in the library, or even cultivating while sitting down, I can bear with it and find it understandable. But running …
Hall Master Feng blinked his eyes. "Are you sure you are not mistaken?"
The book collection vault was filled with bookshelves, it was inconvenient for him to run even if he wanted to!
More importantly, to be able to tame a Pixue realm savage beast, he must be powerful. How fast did he have to run for it to be useful for his cultivation?
"Could it be related to his beast taming method? If he ran fast enough, he would be able to catch up to the savage beast? "
Beast Tamer Wang was doubtful.
"He... doesn't run fast, he runs at the speed of an ordinary human. Furthermore, he is muttering something as he runs, but I can't hear him clearly due to the distance."
Xiao Zhu was embarrassed.
After seeing the previous sight, he was embarrassed to say it out loud. He feared that he would be beaten to death as a lunatic.
To think that a person who was adjusting his state of mind to read books would actually run in the book collection vault while muttering. Anyone would find it hard to accept such a sight.
"Running and muttering?"
The three beast tamers were truly confused this time.
They scratched their heads, but they couldn't comprehend... what the heck does this have to do with adjusting one's state of mind!
Honestly speaking, anyone who heard the other party's actions would only have one thought... Darn it!
If not, how can one adjust one's state of mind in such a manner?
Furthermore, do you have to do it in the book collection vault? Is it impossible for you to run in such a huge room? If you think that this place is small, there is still the savage beast activity zone outside. It is several kilometers long and wide. Putting aside running, even a somersault wouldn't be able to reach it in half an hour...
"This won't do. I'll head over to take a look. There are too many valuable secret manuals in the book collection vault. I mustn't allow them to be damaged!"
After pondering for a moment, Hall Master Feng felt that it wasn't safe.
If a person running in the book collection vault were to lose his mind and set the entire book collection vault on fire, it would be too late for regrets.
He mustn't allow such a thing to happen!
With a grim expression, Hall Master Feng was just about to head over to the book collection vault when he saw a fatigued young man walking over.
It was Zhang Xuan.
At this moment, Zhang Xuan was completely different from an hour ago. Regardless of whether it was his mental or physical state, he seemed dispirited. It seemed as though he had gone through an inhumane training, and his stamina was sapped dry.
"Are you alright?"
Hall Master Feng couldn't help but step forward.
Other people would be full of energy after adjusting their state, but this guy looked as if he had done a night of intensive care. Are you sure you're adjusting your state and not exhausting it?
"Oh, I'm fine. Is the test paper ready? Let's begin! "
Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
Even though he had used a new method to quickly store all of the books in the book collection vault into the Library of Heaven's Path, as he had collected too much knowledge in a short period of time, the concussion in his head was too great, and he felt a little dizzy.
It was similar to not sleeping for five days and five nights. His whole body was filled with fatigue.
"You're … starting now?"
Seeing that the other party was struggling to open his eyes, Hall Master Feng couldn't help but ask, "Are you certain?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"Alright, let's head over there. The Record Crystal isn't able to record anything here." Hall Master Feng nodded.
Regardless of whether it was the beast taming or pill forging examination, for the sake of fairness, a Record Crystal had to be used to record everything. After which, it would be stored in case anyone came to check on it.
Soon, they arrived at the center of the room, where the Record Crystal was stored. Hall Master Feng and the other two beast tamers sat down.
Upon seeing them sitting down, the crowd below knew what was going to happen, and discussions broke out once more.
"The examination is about to begin!"
"Indeed. Skipping the apprentice examination and going straight for the beast tamer examination, this is a privilege reserved for geniuses of the Beast Hall. Even Mo Yu xiaojie didn't enjoy this privilege. I would like to see how this fellow can continue staying here once he fails!"
"He only managed to tame a savage beast by luck. Do you really think that he is capable? I think that he will definitely fail! "
"Without several years of study, it is impossible to memorize the various characteristics of the savage beasts in the world. Back then, our prince persevered every single day in order to memorize them. This fellow isn't even twenty yet. Even if he were to learn from his mother's womb, how much can he possibly remember? "
"He is just trying to please the crowd, what capabilities can he possibly have …"
…
Upon seeing that Zhang Xuan was going to take the beast tamer examination, everyone gathered around him. Many of them were gleeful at his misfortune.
Skipping the apprentice examination and going straight for the beast tamer examination, this was the first time in the Beast Hall that they had seen such a situation. Everyone was eager to see this fellow fail.
This was especially so for Zhou Xuan and Zhu Jinhuang. Due to Yun Tao and Mo Yu xiaojie's relationship, they hated this fellow to the core. They couldn't wait for him to make a fool of himself.
If he couldn't even pass the theoretical examination, how could he become a beast tamer … Then he could only dream on!
While the few of them were discussing, Mo Yu xiaojie had also regained her senses. She walked up and stared at the young man coldly.
With just a single glance, her eyebrows knitted together.
What was wrong with this fellow?
Just a moment ago, he was flipping through books energetically in the room. Why … did he suddenly look as though he had been cooked?
She wasn't the only one who noticed it. The others also noticed it as well. Shen Bi Ru and Yun Tao glanced at one another and frowned deeply.
"Miss Zhang, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" Zhang Xuan shook his head. "I'm just a little tired!"
In less than two hours, he had collected all of the books into the Library of Heaven's Path. His mind was working at a high speed, shouting 'flaws' non-stop. It would be a wonder if he wasn't tired.
It was already a blessing that he didn't collapse from exhaustion on the spot.
"Elder, if you're really feeling unwell, why don't we rest for a while and take the examination tomorrow?" Yun Tao suggested.
There was a high chance that the young man before him was a Zongshi realm expert. What in the world had he experienced to exhaust him to such an extent?
"It's fine …"
Hearing those words, Zhang Xuan knew that the two of them meant well. Just as he was about to wave his hands to reject them, a cold sneer sounded not too far away.
"I think he's just feigning fatigue. He went to the library to adjust his condition. Could it be that he only realized the difficulty of the examination after reading the beast taming book, so he feigned illness to avoid the examination?"
The one who spoke was Zhu Jinhuang.
The cold sneer in his eyes deepened, as though he was determined to expose the disguise of a swindler.
"That must be the case. Otherwise, how could he possibly be so exhausted from books that he can't even lift his limbs? Pardon my ignorance, but this is the first time I've heard of such a thing! "Zhou Xuan also made use of this opportunity to add insult to injury.
"This …"
"Now that they put it that way, it does seem possible."
"Probably because he thought that he would be able to pass the examination, he only realized that beast taming is profound after reading the book. Thus, he felt fearful of it, and at the same time, he didn't want to embarrass himself, so he made up an excuse …"
"That must be the case …"
The words of the duo echoed in the surroundings, and everyone immediately believed seventy to eighty percent of their words.
If that wasn't the case, why would he go to the library to adjust his condition only to return as though he was on the verge of death?
His face was filled with fatigue, and it seemed as though he would collapse at any moment …
If he was really exhausted, it wouldn't make sense for him to be in such a state while reading a book … Since it was inexplicable, there was only one possibility — he was feigning it.
"There's no need for that. Let's start now!"
Ignoring the doubts and discussions of the crowd, Zhang Xuan gestured grandly.
"This is the examination paper I just came up with. You can answer it now. If you can answer it within two hours and ensure that your accuracy reaches a hundred percent, you will pass the examination!"
Seeing Zhang Xuan's insistence, Hall Master Feng passed a stack of examination papers over.
Similar to the one he took for the apprentice apothecary examination back then, it was several dozen pages thick. Just writing it down would take a long time, needless to say, he would have to ponder over it carefully.
Lowering his head to take a look, Zhang Xuan saw that it was filled with all kinds of basic knowledge on beast taming. Without sufficient knowledge, it would be impossible for him to understand it.
"Alright, you can answer it now. The time starts now!"
Seeing Zhang Xuan take over the examination papers, Hall Master Feng gestured grandly.
"Un!" Placing the examination papers down, Zhang Xuan picked up a brush. Just as he was about to answer the question, he suddenly felt his head spinning and his hands trembling.
Even though he was able to collect the books at a much faster speed than before, his current cultivation was still too weak. As such, he was still unable to withstand it. Not only was he lacking in energy, even his body was showing signs of fatigue.
It would probably take him at least an hour to recover from it.
But now, he was running out of time.
If he were to rest for an hour, given how thick the examination papers were, even with the support of the Library of Heaven's Path, it would be impossible for him to finish it.
As long as he were to answer a single question wrongly, he would be unable to pass the beast taming examination. The humiliation of failing was one thing, but what was more important was that... he wouldn't be able to enjoy free meals. This was something he couldn't tolerate.
"Look, he seems to be so tired that he can't even hold a brush!"
"Hehe, do you believe that a Pixue realm expert would be so tired that he can't even hold a brush? He must be faking it! "
"Yeah, he must have seen the questions and felt that he didn't know anything, so he pretended to be weak … To be honest, this kind of person is the most shameless!"
"I know, right?"
Seeing Zhang Xuan's trembling fingers, the crowd harrumphed coldly.
They weren't the only ones. Even Hall Master Feng, Beast Tamer Lu, and the others stared at one another doubtfully.
Could it be that what the others said was true?
If that wasn't the case, even if he were to run around the book collection vault, he wouldn't be so tired!
"Zhang Xuan, if you feel that your body is unwell and you are unable to answer the questions, I can allow you to rest for a day. We'll continue tomorrow."
After observing for a moment and seeing that the fellow was indeed so weak that he couldn't even hold a brush, Hall Master Feng couldn't help but speak up.
Sighing, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist and placed the brush down.
The other party was right. Given his current physical condition, even if he were to forcefully write, his words would be distorted and ugly.
More importantly... If he couldn't keep up with his speed, he might have to rest after writing a few words. If he were to force himself to continue writing, his speed would slow down instead.
If he wanted to pass the examination, but he didn't want to waste any more time... There was only one way left!
Sighing, Zhang Xuan lifted his head and looked ahead.
"Hall Master Feng and the two beast tamers, I really don't have the strength to hold a brush. Can I choose to debate?"
"Debate?"
The three beast tamers stood up abruptly. Disbelief filled their eyes.
"You... What did you say? You want to choose the most difficult test in the theoretical examination... debate? "
