"Hair curls!"
After killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, the assessment officially began.
The next moment, several city guards came in with large boxes. The boxes were filled with test papers … No, books!
A thick book!
The young tutor of Da Xia War Academy smiled faintly and said, "These are test papers! There are a total of 660 sets of test papers. Each set may be the same or different. You can write them yourself. Zhan War Academy will give you a maximum of 100 points for language. In other words, if you pass 10 language courses, you will get full marks.
"Of course, you can write more. Each set of test papers may have dozens of courses. You can try your luck. Maybe you can get 10 out of the dozens of courses and get full marks! Of course, there are 10 questions in each course. If you can answer 6 questions correctly, you will pass! "
In the examination room, no one dared to say anything because of the warning just now.
After a while, an examinee raised his hand.
The young man said faintly, "Speak."
"Teacher, if the test papers I get are all in the Wan language that I don't know, can I change with others?"
"Decide for yourself. If you violate the rules, you will be disqualified!"
"…"
Below, Su Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. Sure enough, there was a different routine every year. Last year's test papers were the same, but the test papers of the 100 ethnic groups were mixed up and the examinees had to find them themselves. This year, the test papers were actually different.
The test of Zhan War Academy was sometimes not just about martial arts and cultural courses. In fact, it was the same in Civilization Academy.
Su Yu did not really understand what the test was now.
Different test papers, different language papers. The language you got might not be what you knew at all. The Wan language you knew might be in another person's test paper.
At this moment, how should you choose?
Soon, Su Yu got a thick test paper. He casually flipped through it and found some differences.
The three basic language classes — Immortal Demon Language, Common Language, and Demon Language — were at the front. Everyone basically knew them and had learned them before. However, the test papers at the back were all about the languages of different races.
Su Yu quickly flipped through the pages and briefly scanned through. He had mastered a total of 20 languages. In the past two months, he had also learned two more. However, this set of test papers and the three basic courses only revealed a total of nine languages that he had learned.
"90 points?"
Su Yu hesitated for a moment. Even if he passed all the tests, he would only get 90 marks in the cultural course and not 100 marks.
Of course, a difference of 10 points might not mean much to him, but to others, a difference of 10 points could affect whether or not they could pass the test.
Su Yu was looking at the exam papers, and some of the other students were looking at them as well. Some of them were not in a hurry. Since they only knew three subjects, they just kept on writing.
As for the thick paper at the back … it had nothing to do with them!
In any case, he didn't know how to do it and couldn't even understand it. He might as well pretend that the rest of the paper didn't exist.
Can I change the test paper?
Su Yu had no idea. However, Zhan School's examination papers were unfair to some of the top students. Did it mean that they could change the papers?
Su Yu looked at the examiners in front of him. They were all expressionless, and he couldn't tell what was going on.
Most of the students began to write.
Su Yu hesitated for a moment and quickly made a decision. He looked at a guy beside him who was also looking at the test paper and quickly said, "Should I change the paper?"
That person was obviously an outsider. At this moment, he didn't care who Su Yu was and quickly said, "Are there test papers for Flying Tiger, Mountain Piercing Rat, Nine-Tailed Fox … these races?"
"I'm not sure. I don't know some of the languages you mentioned. I don't recognize them …"
Su Yu shook his head. He didn't know some of the languages, so he naturally didn't recognize them.
There were too many Wan languages. Who knew which language belonged to which race?
The person beside him hesitated for a moment and immediately said, "Change!"
After that, the two of them changed the papers.
The examiners above looked on and didn't say anything.
At this moment, the others didn't hesitate anymore. Some students who knew more languages began to change the papers with others.
Changing the paper didn't mean that you would get what you wanted.
Soon, some people realized that the paper they got was not as good as the previous one and continued to look for people to change. At this moment, the young man from Da Xia War Academy said calmly, "You've written your name. You're not allowed to change!"
When he said that, many people's expressions changed. They could only look for other students who hadn't written their names yet to change.
The rustling sound echoed for a few minutes. At this moment, it was close to ten minutes before the start of the exam.
As for Su Yu, he looked at the set of test papers he got. He knew less Wan languages, only eight.
Su Yu frowned. The number of changes was decreasing!
Should he change it again?
After hesitating for a moment, Su Yu gritted his teeth. No more. Eight languages it is!
Su Yu lowered his head and began to write the paper.
As for the others, they gradually realized that the language they got was not as good as the previous one. Some people continued to change the paper.
At this moment, Lao Xie suddenly pointed at a student and said coldly, "You can't change your paper more than three times. The exam begins now!"
"Teacher …"
The student who had changed his paper three times had a change in expression. Previously, he knew five or six languages. Now, he only knew three basic languages. That meant he had lost dozens of marks!
"Do you want to be disqualified?"
The student didn't dare to say another word. With a sullen and depressed expression, he lowered his head and began to write the paper.
There were also some students who looked at each other. Only three changes?
…
At the invigilator's office.
Lao Xie and the other examiners looked at each other and revealed a faint smile. Lao Xie's lips moved slightly. "Little Zhou, do you think they will regret changing their papers?"
"Definitely."
The young man's lips also moved slightly. "At the beginning, we gave them the ones that were most suitable for them. Some things might not be perfect. If we pursue perfection in everything, we might end up losing a sesame seed after picking up a watermelon. In the end, the loss will outweigh the gain.
"For these students who did well in the cultural courses, they all had the same starting point. They were all not perfect. They weren't the only ones who couldn't get full marks. After changing, they lost what originally belonged to them."
The young man revealed a smile and quickly said, "The more they change, the more depressed they get. Will these little brats have a mental breakdown?
"If they have a mental breakdown just because of this, then they might as well not come to the War School!"
Lao Xie didn't hold back at this moment. This was just a small test. If they couldn't handle it, wouldn't these people have a complete mental breakdown if they failed in the battlefield?
As he said this, Lao Xie continued, "I'm thinking about how to give out the papers next year. I'm almost out of tricks."
"What's the rush?"
The young man wasn't in a rush. He looked at the watch on his hand and suddenly said, "The cultural course assessment, one hour! Now, 20 minutes have passed. The remaining time might not be enough! "
"…"
Below, the expressions of some students changed completely!
An hour assessment. They had spent a long time changing their papers.
They had to find someone to change their paper and see if there was one that was suitable for them. Changing every time would take at least five to six minutes. 20 minutes would pass in the blink of an eye!
As for Su Yu who was answering his paper, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What a scam!
Could this still be considered a proper exam?
As such, some of the top students would probably be anxious. Time was running out. Now, some of them couldn't even find someone to change their paper. Moreover, they didn't have the time to change their paper.
Even if they were fast, answering one paper in 10 minutes would still take tens of minutes for a few courses.
…
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, one hour had passed.
"Collect the papers!"
Under the command, the city guards entered the field to collect and seal the papers. Some of the students were depressed. It was too fast!
"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have changed my paper!"
"What bad luck. I mastered 16 Wan languages, but in the end, I only managed to write four sets of papers!"
"This wasn't how the exam was last year. This year, it's simply messing around. If that's the case, won't all the Wan languages we've learned be wasted?"
"…"
Below the stage, there were still some whispers.
What a scam!
Some of the students who had mastered more than one language wanted to cry but had no tears. Before this, they were all confident that they could get 100 marks. Now, it would be considered good if they could get 30 or 40 marks.
This was more of a scam than they had expected.
As for Su Yu, he hurried and finished writing the eight courses he had mastered. He was slightly relieved. Fortunately, he didn't continue to change. If he did, not only would it delay his time, but even if he got the papers, he might not be able to finish all ten courses.
After changing a few more times, it would be considered good if he could finish three or five papers in the end.
"Fortunately, I've written all eight papers. Even if I didn't get all of them correct, I still have a 60% accuracy rate. I hope I can get 80 marks."
Su Yu was worried that the Civilization School would come in the same way in the afternoon.
"Your papers are being marked by professionals. They're very fast! The marks will be released soon. Don't worry, everyone. "
Lao Xie smiled and said, "The first exam is over. Let's start the second exam!"
"The cultural class is over. Now, it's the cultivation assessment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another group of city guards entered the field. Lao Xie smiled and said, "Kaiyuan, Nine Acupores! The mouth, nose, ears, and eyes are the foundation of the seven acupores. You can't really be enlightened just because you say so! "
"The first three exams of Kaiyuan begin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cup filled with liquid appeared in front of each examinee.
"The first three tiers of Natal Opening, the Aperture of the Mouth and Nose. Sniffing and tasting are the basics. Smell it to see if you can drink it. Taste what this liquid is and what ingredients were added to it. These are all basic ingredients. There's the common blood of the Demon Clan, spices commonly used at home, and of course … laxatives!"
Lao Xie said lightly, "If you smell it wrong and taste it wrong, the next exam has nothing to do with you because you have to wait in the toilet. Try it carefully, then write it down and hand it in. This is the foundation assessment for the first three exams!"
"I forgot to mention that there might be some sleeping pills. If you taste it and fall asleep, you'll miss the next exam."
"…"
Some examinees couldn't help but raise their hands. When Lao Xie signaled, they hurriedly said, "Teacher, last year's exam wasn't like this. Last year's exam had limited answers and only ten choices. Are there no choices this year? If that's the case, the range of choices is too wide! "
"You're not wasting my time, nor is it just yours, but everyone's!"
Lao Xie said calmly, "If you want to take the exam, then take it. If not, then shut up! This is how Da Xia Province is doing this year. You're not the only one. If you're willing to chat with me, I don't mind. I have plenty of time anyway! "
As soon as he said this, everyone was helpless.
Su Yu was also very helpless. The content of this year's exam was really different from last year's. Although the process was similar, the specific process was completely different.
"Try it carefully. If you smell it correctly, then taste it. Finally, write down the results. I guarantee that the results won't be beyond your control. You can also try to write randomly. Maybe you'll get it right."
Lao Xie smiled again and said, "Kaiyuan Grade 3 doesn't have any battle prowess to speak of. Could it be that you're preparing to stage a huge battle royale? If that's the case, I don't mind. I'll count the last hundred people standing as having passed. How about it? "
"…"
Everyone was silent. What kind of joke was this? Fights nowadays were like street brawls. If they were to beat themselves black and blue just for an exam, how embarrassing would that be?
Since Lao Xie said that it wouldn't be beyond their control, everyone didn't waste any more time.
Su Yu carefully smelled the liquid in front of him and made a judgment in his heart. "It seems to be the smell of fire pigeon blood …"
He was very sensitive to blood. Different blood had different tastes.
Different races and different things that the demon race was good at were reflected in their blood.
Su Yu smelled it for a while and didn't feel any threat. He picked up the cup and tasted it carefully. After feeling it for a while, he quickly got the answer.
"Fire pigeon blood, normal duck blood, chilli sauce, water, butter …"
Su Yu quickly wrote down the answer. The other examinees also started to try. Some had already written down the answer. Some were still hesitating whether to try it or not, but they were worried that there would be problems with it.
"Allocate your time reasonably!"
The young examiner spoke again and said coldly, "Those who wrote down the answer, don't wait for them. Go to the back and participate in the Kaiyuan Grade 3 and above exam!"
As soon as the words came out, many examinees quickly stood up.
Su Yu was among them. He was worried that there would be another time limit and he wouldn't be able to participate in the other exams.
Previously, Su Yu thought that there was only one space in this huge building, but it turned out that there was an exam venue behind the wall.
Su Yu and the others quickly entered the exam venue behind. Lao Xie and the woman from the Education and Welfare Administration, as well as the person from the Demon Suppression Army, followed them.
…
In the exam venue behind.
At this moment, more than 30 people had arrived.
These people were all Kaiyuan Grade 3 and above. Of course, there were many who were Kaiyuan Grade 3 and above who were still identifying the liquid.
"Kaiyuan Grade 4 and Level 5, Ear Aperture opened, and hearing improved!"
Lao Xie smiled and walked to the front. "You guys are just Kaiyuan and haven't been on the battlefield. Da Xia Province won't ask too much of you. However, since you've reached Grade 4 and Level 5, you still have to meet the basic requirements."
"Listen carefully …"
Lao Xie reminded them. Everyone hurriedly listened. At this moment, there seemed to be someone talking in the exam venue, but they couldn't hear it clearly.
"Now, someone is reciting a cultivation technique. He will recite it 10 times for 5 minutes each time. After 50 minutes, if the person in front hasn't arrived and doesn't hear it, even if he's Kaiyuan Grade 7 or Level 8, he won't be considered to have passed this round. The 60 points for Kaiyuan Grade 4 and Level 5 will not be given to him!"
"He doesn't know what's important and doesn't know how to allocate the points reasonably. Such a person will only be a burden on the battlefield!"
As Lao Xie spoke, everyone could vaguely hear something.
Someone was indeed reciting something.
Su Yu listened for a while, but it wasn't very clear. At this moment, a girl with braids raised her hand in the crowd. She waited for Lao Xie to nod and frowned. "Teacher, what if someone knows this cultivation technique? He doesn't need to listen at all. Is this considered cheating? "
"Don't worry. No one will know it."
Lao Xie was calm. "This is a cultivation technique of a small clan that we've just seized. This is the first time we've obtained this cultivation technique in Da Xia Province. If someone knows it … it'll be Wan Zu's!"
After saying this, Lao Xie said playfully, "Sometimes, the translation might not be the same. If the translation you write from memory is different from the one we recite, but similar to the one provided to Wan Zu by that small clan … Hehe, we can catch many spies with this process every year. I hope none of you will be caught just for the sake of entering the academy!"
As if he knew what these people were puzzled about, Lao Xie said again, "If you're curious about why I said it, why don't you just wait for someone to write from memory before catching him? It's very simple. I'll give you a chance. This small clan has been completely exterminated. If there really are followers of this clan, they can forget the past and still have a chance to start anew. "
Su Yu couldn't be bothered to listen. At this moment, he was concentrating on listening to the sound.
The sound was very vague. He seemed to be able to hear it, but at the same time, he couldn't hear it.
If he didn't pay attention, it would be blurred.
In this way, if he didn't listen carefully, he wouldn't be able to write from memory.
Su Yu wrote intermittently. He couldn't be bothered to care about others, and he didn't have the energy to care about them.
Five minutes later, he finished reading the first one.
Su Yu looked at what he had written. He had written from memory about one-third of it. At this rate, it would take at least three to five times for him to finish writing from memory.
There weren't many words, about a thousand or so.
Su Yu had calculated it well. Many people had only written a few words on the paper in front of them.
They couldn't keep up with their speed, and they had to listen and write at the same time. It was too difficult!
Outside the examination hall, students were coming in one after another. These people came in late and didn't listen a few times. They couldn't even think about writing from memory.
"I'll probably be able to write from memory after listening three to five times. As for Hao Zi … don't fall asleep while listening!"
…
Just when Su Yu was worrying about Chen Hao.
Chen Hao was also listening.
He scratched his ears and cheeks. There were many words written on the paper in front of him. However, when the invigilator glanced at them, he almost couldn't recognize them.
This guy had written a lot, but what on earth was he writing?
Of course, some people were worse off than Chen Hao. They wrote a few words scattered on the ground. At this moment, all of them looked depressed.
Under such circumstances, even if some people reached the fourth or fifth tier of Kaiyuan, they might not be able to get this score.
"Just having the realm, but not knowing how to use it. Such people … it's better not to enter the academy!"
The invigilator thought to himself. Opening the Ear Aperture, but not knowing how to use it. They couldn't even grasp the basics of listening, let alone identify the position by listening. This kind of fourth or fifth tier was completely meaningless.
Students from intermediate academies had studied for five years. They had learned everything that needed to be taught. Other than having no actual combat experience, these people were true warriors.
In the end, a group of warriors couldn't even grasp the basics. It was almost impossible for them to enter the War Academy.
Just when the invigilator was thinking about this, Chen Hao raised his hand and said in a depressed tone, "Teacher, don't always show up in front of me! You've already shown up a few times. Can you go over to the others? "
"…"
The invigilator was stunned for a moment. Then he laughed and said, "This is also a kind of test. On the battlefield, there are all kinds of accidents …"
Chen Hao rolled his eyes. "If this is really on the battlefield, I'll take out a knife and hack you to death! Teacher, if you show up in front of me again, I'll hack you! "
"…"
The invigilator couldn't help but laugh. Not far away, the main examiner nodded slightly, indicating for him to leave Chen Hao's side.
It was naturally not appropriate to keep showing up in front of a student. The main reason was that Chen Hao's movements were too big. He kept scratching his head, so the invigilator had to walk around him a few more times.
The invigilator walked to the side. His lips moved, and he said in a low voice, "The overall performance of the people from Da Xia Province is much better than that of Southern Yuan! Kaiyuan's fourth or fifth tier is the basic. Southern Yuan's fourth or fifth tier isn't as many as Da Xia Province's fourth or fifth tier. "
Da Xia Province only had slightly more than 400 people participating in the assessment, while Southern Yuan had close to 3,000 people.
Fourth or fifth tier wasn't as many as Da Xia Province's.
The main examiner wasn't surprised. He also said in a low voice, "After all, Southern Yuan's vitality is too weak. However … there are also benefits! Southern Yuan's students progress slowly, and it takes longer to polish a realm. Most of Kaiyuan's fourth tier students can write down some of it from memory, but many of Da Xia Province's fifth or sixth tier students can't hear it clearly. "
The main examiner shook his head. Obviously, he felt that these people from Da Xia Province were a little embarrassing.
Their realms were slightly higher, but their progress was fast. They only stayed at the Ear Aperture stage for a short time, and they were constantly trying to become stronger. Some fifth or sixth tier students might not be able to score as high as fourth or fifth tier students from Southern Yuan.
…
Upstairs.
Su Yu had listened to it five times and had completely written down the cultivation method.
There were also a few students like him, but there weren't many of them. There were less than 10 of them in total.
There were 660 students in the No. 5 examination room, but only a few of them had written down the entire content. The invigilator, Lao Xie, seemed to be a little disappointed, but it wasn't a surprise. The only surprise was that some fifth or sixth tier students from Da Xia Province hadn't written it down yet.
Lao Xie didn't care that other students were still listening. He said, "Write it down from memory. Those who are willing to participate in Kaiyuan's assessment of Level 5 and above, follow me!"
As soon as he said this, Su Yu and the others stood up one after another.
At this moment, some of the people around him were anxious. Some of them had just come in, but in the end, others had already gone to participate in the assessment of higher levels.
Should they continue listening here, or should they go to participate in the assessment of Level 5 and above?
What if they were delayed in the next round of assessment, like this time?
"Allocate time reasonably, allocate energy and physical strength reasonably …"
The words of the young examiner flashed in some people's minds. Some students gritted their teeth and no longer hesitated. They stood up and went to participate in the assessment of Level 5 and above!
Listening assessment, 60 points.
To continue listening here and delay for a long time, or to fight for other points was a difficult choice for some fifth tier and above students.
After listening for a long time, they felt dizzy. If this continued, they might not be able to get any points in the later assessments. That would be a huge loss.
Kaiyuan was at Level 7. If they passed, one level would be 50 points, which would be enough to fill up the Ear Aperture assessment.
Lao Xie, who was leading the way, revealed a smile on his face.
Sometimes, it was difficult to make a choice.
The assessment of higher education institutions didn't just look at strength and talent. There were other factors.
Decisiveness, judgment, balance between gains and losses … These were all things that these young students had to master by themselves. If it was purely based on strength, there was no need for an assessment. They might as well compete to see who had a higher realm.
Having a higher realm might have an advantage here, but if Kaiyuan passed the first few rounds perfectly, it wasn't impossible for him to pass the War Academy's Level 3.
"Southern Yuan is still a bit weak. If there were more fourth and fifth tier students, then the people from Da Xia Province might not be as good as those from Southern Yuan."
As Lao Xie was thinking about this, he didn't forget to pay attention to the top students he had been paying attention to before.
This kid, Su Yu, had passed the few rounds well. After changing the first round, he quickly made a decision. Passing the eighth round would give him an additional 80 points. This might be the highest score in the entire assessment.
"I'm looking forward to this kid's final assessment score. Can he be compared with the geniuses from Da Xia Province …"
The entire school was a unified assessment. The content, process, and scores were the same. How many points Su Yu could get had nothing to do with whether he was a student from Southern Yuan or not.
Lao Xie was really looking forward to the results. In Southern Yuan, Su Yu was probably the only one who had a chance to compete with the geniuses from Da Xia Province. As for the others … there was no need to compare. The difference in realm was huge. No matter how solid one's foundation was, there would still be a natural gap.
