One Hour was a very limited time. No matter how difficult the scroll was, the twenty or so Celestial Fox Saintess candidates had no choice but to study it.
Light flickered in the meditation magic array. The Celestial Fox girls in the magic array were all as beautiful as a painting. Such scenery reflected in the blue sky and clear water was a unique sight.
Hu Linglong could be said to be the most relaxed among all of them.
Last night, she had already learned about the contents of the theory examination from her father, Hu Qiansui.
Third Elder was a well-known conservative in the Celestial Fox tribal nation. In his opinion, it was a disgrace to let a Celestial Fox mixed-blood become a Celestial Fox Saintess.
Therefore, he set up an additional obstacle and copied all the Corpse Puppet Technique into the ancient Celestial Fox language.
"I'd like to see what that Celestial Fox b * stard who came out of nowhere can do this time." Recalling the six-tailed Celestial Fox that appeared in the crystal ball yesterday, Hu Linglong's heart was filled with jealousy.
The theory examination this time would not be a problem for those two, would it?
Hu Linglong's seductive eyes fell on the magic array where Yu Shang and Lu Yunshuang were.
The two girls were reading the scroll seriously and mumbling something under their breath.
However, no matter how good they were, they could not catch up to her. Hu Linglong's lips curled up.
Hu Linglong had learned the basics of ancient witchcraft like the Corpse Puppet Technique when she was young. Now that she had learned it, it was much easier for her to learn compared to the average person.
One Hour passed quickly.
More than twenty Celestial Fox Saintess candidates walked out of the magic array.
Except for a few specific people, most of them had a nervous look on their faces.
"Time's up. Everyone, recite the contents of the Corpse Puppet Technique. Those who recite more than half of it will advance to the next round," Third Elder said.
The three girls from Cangdu were the first to go. The first to go was Hua Yanluo. She recited about eighty percent of the content and successfully advanced to the next round.
Feng Lian and Qin Yue had some trouble reciting, but they managed to recite about 50% of the words and successfully entered the second half of the round.
The next few Saintesses from the capital cities were not so lucky. Among them, several of them were mixed-race Heavenly Foxes. Among the nine of them, four of them were eliminated because they could not recite more than 50% of the scripture.
When it was Hu Linglong's turn, she walked up. Her voice was clear and melodious like jade beads rolling on a jade plate. Without missing a single word, she completely memorized the entire Corpse Puppet Art.
"Miss Linglong is indeed talented and intelligent." Third Elder nodded his head in praise.
"Hmph." Chen Qi snorted with a look of disdain. She was certain that Hu Linglong had cheated.
The few purebred Celestial Fox from Hu Dou also successfully passed.
"You go up first." When it was the turn of the few Celestial Fox Saintess candidates from Fengdu, Chen Qi gave Yun Sheng a push. She looked like she was waiting to watch a good show.
Yun Sheng was a Celestial Fox hybrid. It was impossible for her to have learned the ancient Celestial Fox characters.
She had attracted a lot of attention when she was found to be six-tailed. This time, it was her turn to make a fool of herself. It would be best if she was eliminated as well.
Yun Sheng shrugged noncommittally and walked up.
She began to recite the scripture.
She continued until she was done.
"What the hell is that bastard reciting? She didn't get a single word right. How embarrassing." Qin Yue could not help but laugh when she heard Yun Sheng finish reciting.
Hu Linglong was amused at first, but then she felt that something was amiss.
"This is …" Third Elder hesitated.
"Good memory," Lu Yunshuang said calmly from the side.
"Looks like you beat me to it." Yu Shang sighed with some regret.
What was that female physician doing?
Yaoji and Hui Yu had good hearing. They listened while Yun Sheng recited the scripture in a mess.
"That girl is really interesting. She recited the Corpse Puppet Technique backwards." Hu Ruolan covered her mouth and chuckled.
Lu nodded as well. She had a better impression of that female physician.
"You, you recited the Corpse Puppet Technique backwards?" The Third Elder had also heard that one of the popular Six-Tailed Celestial Foxes this time was a low-grade mixed-blood.
He had received Hu Qianqiu's instructions and planned to use the Corpse Puppet Technique copied in ancient characters to make things difficult for this six-tailed hybrid. He did not expect her to really recite the Corpse Puppet Technique backwards within an Hour.
"Third Elder only said to recite it. He didn't say whether I had to recite it in order or backwards." Yun Sheng smiled.
She must have hit the jackpot. If today's competition had been any other type of Celestial Fox witchcraft recorded in ancient characters, she would have admitted defeat.
Yun Sheng did not recognize any of the ancient characters in Celestial Fox.
However, Yun Sheng had already learned the Corpse Puppet Technique in the Celestial Fox Tomb.
When she thought of this, Yun Sheng could not help but glance at the statue of the Celestial Fox People Chang Hu Yan. Could all this be because Chang Hu Yan was protecting her?
Thus, Yun Sheng also successfully passed the test.
The first half of the test was quickly completed.
Lu Yunshuang and Yu Shang also passed without a hitch.
Several of the twenty-odd Celestial Fox Saintess candidates were eliminated after the recitation round. Only twenty candidates were left.
"Witchcraft skills focus on application. In the first half of the test, you've already competed on memory. In the second half, you'll be competing on application. The Corpse Puppet Technique is a unique witchcraft that can control people's souls. In the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, whoever can control the most people will win. If they can't control even one person, they'll be eliminated. The winner who hypnotizes the most people will have the right to go first in the next round of the wushu test. "After the Third Elder finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and a hundred Heavenly Fox soldiers stepped out of their ranks.
These Celestial Fox soldiers were all carefully selected by Third Elder. They were all elites among Celestial Fox soldiers who had experienced the battlefield.
Compared to the average Celestial Fox soldier, their willpower was also stronger, making it difficult for them to be bewitched.
Among the twenty Celestial Fox Saintess candidates who had just learned the Corpse Puppet Technique, more than eighty percent of them were reluctant to use it to hypnotize a hundred Celestial Fox soldiers.
"Liu Yue 'er of Quandu, eliminated." After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, none of the Celestial Fox Saintess candidates were successfully hypnotized.
"Wang Qiang of Quandu, eliminated." As time passed, more and more people were eliminated.
'The Corpse Puppet Technique is not something that just anyone can learn,' Third Elder thought to himself as he watched.
It was now Hua Yanluo's turn.
Before her, only one Celestial Fox Saintess candidate managed to hypnotize a person and successfully passed the written test.
Hua Yanluo took a deep breath and activated her Celestial Fox inheritance, Fox Shadow Traceless.
Beside her, a "Hua Yanluo" that looked exactly like her appeared.
"Using a Celestial Fox clone to use the Corpse Puppet Technique together. This girl is quite clever. "Third Elder nodded approvingly when he saw this.
"Using a Celestial Fox clone? This time, Hua Yanluo is too clever for her own good. "Yun Sheng shook her head.
