The cultivators in the Tai Ah Divine City, other than forming gangs, had also formed associations.
The largest association was the Divine wilderness adventurer alliance. The people in this association mainly went to the Divine wilderness to train and hunt desolate beasts.
And the second largest association was the Desolate Heaven Master Association.
The Desolate Heaven Master Association was located in the central divine tower. Every month, the Desolate Heaven Master Association would organize various activities. Some of these activities were officially supported by the Tai Ah Divine City.
Today, the Desolate Heaven Master Association did not have any activities, but the hall was packed!
There were about four to five hundred people gathered here. They were all Desolate Heaven Master apprentices. About 80-90% of the Tai Ah Divine City's Desolate Heaven Master apprentices were here.
This was because today was the day Yuehua announced the examination results.
Originally, Yuehua's classes only had about a hundred students. Many Desolate Heaven Master apprentices could not attend because they could not afford the tuition fees. But even so, they heard that Yuehua had conducted an examination, so they wanted to see the results of the geniuses.
This examination concerned scholarships and allowances, so it was crucial. And everyone believed that this examination would, to a certain extent, show the standard of all the Tai Ah Divine City's Desolate Heaven Master apprentices.
Who was strong and who was weak would be decided by the scores!
Actually, there was no suspense about first place. Luo Huo 'er had proven her talent in the Desolate Heaven technique more than once. She had broken the record a few days ago, which made Luo Huo' er even more famous!
Everyone was only concerned about what would happen after second place.
Yang Yuefeng, Li Daohuo and Zhou Shiguang could all fight for second place!
On the Man roll of honor, the three of them were in the top ten of the Man roll of honor. But not all the people in the top ten of the Man roll of honor were Desolate Heaven Master apprentices. For example, Qin Haotian and Li Xiao had obtained dragon scale runes from hunting desolate beasts, so they were also in the top ten of the Man roll of honor.
Yuehua's examination was a comprehensive assessment of all the Tai Ah Divine City's Desolate Heaven Master apprentices. The evaluation was of great significance. Not only were the Tai Ah Divine City's Desolate Heaven Master apprentices concerned, even the large factions had sent their informants. To obtain first-hand information on the rankings.
Especially the people ranked second to tenth, they were definitely the focus of the large factions.
At this moment, in the training ground on the 69th floor of the central divine tower, Luo Huo 'er was dressed in a snow-white training outfit. Her two slender legs were spread out at a 180 degree angle. Her legs were pressed against the ground, and her upper body was bent backward. Her slender waist was arched into a perfect curve, and her soft long hair hung down and spread on the carpet.
Luo Huo 'er was practicing the heart sutra passed down in her family.
At this moment, Dong 'er pushed open the door and ran over sneakily.
"Miss, today is the day the results are announced. There are many people gathered in the Desolate Heaven Master Society. Everyone is waiting to see the results. Why aren't you going? "
Luo Huo'er did not reply. Her hands were on the ground as her entire body slowly lifted off the ground. Her legs were still in a 180 degree position that was stretched taut, like the wings of a flying bird.
Because of Luo Huo'er's movements, her training clothes stuck tightly to her body due to the tightness. It perfectly accentuated her perky butt and chest.
She seriously completed the next few movements, then flipped her long hair and said indifferently, "Anyway, I'm number one. What's there to see? Each of those people is worse than the last. I used half a hand to form a seal and still beat them up! "
Luo Huo 'er curled her lips and continued cultivating.
Dong 'er giggled and said, "Miss is right! There was no doubt that Miss would be the first. But Miss also needs to see what kind of results you have, right? "
"The exam paper is very difficult. I have a vague idea of how many points I scored. Even without looking at the results, I have a rough idea. What's more, there are so many people crowding there to look at the list. If I squeeze in with them, I'll probably die. Doesn't it seem very low-end? "
Luo Huo 'er curled her lips. Actually, this was the main reason why she did not look at the results. How could she squeeze into the crowd and tiptoe to look at the rankings? Such a low-end matter was not in line with her status.
"Miss is right. I'll go take a look."
Dong 'er volunteered herself and ran out of the training ground with her short legs.
When Dong 'er arrived at the training ground, it was already packed with people. Some of the ambassadors from the various large factions, who were not Tai Ah Divine City cultivators, were also here.
Firstly, they wanted to look at the results, and secondly, they wanted to build good relationships with the future rookies.
Amongst the crowd, the people who attracted the most attention were Yang Yuefeng, Li Daohuo and Zhou Shiguang. Without Luo Huo 'er present, they were the leaders of all the Desolate Heaven Master apprentices present.
"Brother Daohuo, Brother Shiguang, long time no see!"
Yang Yuefeng greeted Li Daohuo and Zhou Shiguang.
"Brother Yuefeng, how have you been? I heard that Brother Yuefeng's results in this examination were excellent. They have already set up a banquet at the Divine Moon Restaurant to celebrate in advance. It looks like second place will definitely belong to Brother Yuefeng!"
Li Daohuo responded with a smile.
"Not at all. My results were only average. I'm afraid I can't compare to Brother Daohuo."
Yang Yuefeng said "modestly". The few young masters gathered together to flatter each other, deliberately putting each other on a pedestal. But in fact, only they knew what they were thinking.
This examination not only concerned their personal reputation, it also concerned their scholarships. If they could gain the appreciation of Grandmaster Yuehua, they might even have a chance to learn the "Thousand Hand Moon Buddha"!
Who wouldn't want to get second place in such an important exam?
On the surface, the three of them were complimenting each other, but in reality, they were all harboring ulterior motives, each wanting to suppress the other!
"Hypocrite!"
Dong 'er watched from afar as the three of them tried their best to fight for second place while pretending to suck up to them. She curled her lips in disdain. Although she was young, she could sometimes understand the ways of the world.
At this moment, the Desolate Heaven Master Society's door was pushed open. Two central divine tower law-enforcers dressed in black cloaks walked in. In their hands, they were carrying a scroll the thickness of a water bucket.
Everyone immediately quietened down. They realized that these two law enforcers were most likely here to announce the results, and the bucket-thick scroll in their hands was the result list!
Sure enough, the two law enforcers walked to the center of the field and stood still. One of them said, "Grandmaster Yuehua asked us to announce the results. I will first relay Grandmaster Yuehua's words. Grandmaster Yuehua said that in this exam, the top two can get the inheritance of 'Thousand Hand Moon Buddha'. If they are willing, Grandmaster Yuehua will carefully teach them."
The law enforcer's words were like a heavy stone thrown into the spring water. The originally silent scene was now filled with a deafening silence. The silent scene immediately became noisy!
The top two could get the inheritance of 'Thousand Hand Moon Buddha'!
If they were willing, Grandmaster Yuehua would carefully teach them. To put it bluntly, it was to take them in as personal disciples!
Everyone knew this. Grandmaster Yuehua came to the Tai Ah Divine City with the goal of taking in a disciple, but the only disciple she took in was Luo Huo 'er. The others were just hoping that they would be lucky enough to be fancied by Grandmaster Yuehua, even if it was to be an in-name disciple. They were all very satisfied.
And even if it was an in-name disciple, they would probably have to go through multiple exams and achieve excellent results each time.
They never expected that in just the first exam, Grandmaster Yuehua had decided to take in another disciple other than Luo Huo 'er!
This was truly a great opportunity!
Who was the second place that had such great luck?
Some of the Desolate Heaven Master apprentices who were ranked at the top were all excited.
"Brother Daohuo, Brother Shiguang. I never expected the three of us to have such an opportunity. Who knows, one of Brother Daohuo or Brother Shiguang might be fancied by Grandmaster Yuehua! "
Yang Yuefeng said insincerely. His voice was trembling. He wished that Li Daohuo and Zhou Shiguang would die, leaving him alone to be taken in as a disciple by Grandmaster Yuehua.
"Haha! Brother Yuefeng, you are too modest. I think the second place will most likely be Brother Yuefeng. If that's the case, Brother Yuefeng will have a meteoric rise. Brother Yue Feng is going to have a meteoric rise. Please take care of us in the future. "
Zhou Shiguang did not mean what he said. As he spoke, his heartbeat sped up. He was thinking in his heart, "It must be me, it must be me!"
At this moment, Li Daohuo, Zhou Shiguang and Yang Yuefeng were the most nervous. This was a fateful moment. None of them had the confidence to beat the other two.
The two law-enforcers said, "We will now post the results. The full score is 700 points. "
One of the law-enforcers tore off the seal on the result list. No one had seen the result list before.
The list was very long. A law-enforcer pulled the end of the list, while another law-enforcer pulled the beginning. The two of them opened the result list like a scroll, slowly unfolding it.
Everyone held their breaths!
After a short period of blankness, names appeared one by one.
These names were listed in order from low to high. The first ones that appeared were at the bottom of the ranking, with a score of just over 200 points.
"The score is so low!"
Some people were secretly speechless. Although it was at the bottom of the list, the full score of 700 points was only 200 points. It was not even one-third of the total.
The speed at which the list unfolded was very slow. One name after another jumped out. When the youths saw their scores, they all had complicated expressions. It was not a glorious thing to be ranked so low.
Slowly, dozens of names popped up. The names further ahead were all in the middle and upper reaches of the rankings. The scores also slowly increased, exceeding 250 points.
Two hundred and sixty points, two hundred and seventy points, two hundred and eighty points …
The scores kept jumping forward, reaching 300 points.
At this time, the youths who saw their names already had joy on their faces. Although the score was a bit ugly, it was enough to be ranked in the upper ranks of a group of geniuses.
The list had already unfolded three-quarters. It was estimated that it was the top 20.
The remaining people all turned nervous.
Yang Yuefeng pretended to be calm as he fanned himself with a folding fan. However, his palms were covered in sweat. He fanned himself faster and faster, almost to the point of tearing the fan apart.
Li Daohuo hung a smile on his face, but it was a forced smile. It was as if it was about to freeze on his face.
Zhou Shiguang did not hide his thoughts. His hands were clenched into fists as he stared unblinkingly at the names that appeared on the list.
He was afraid of seeing his name appear.
Another ten names appeared on the list. It was estimated that it was time for the top ten!
Everyone who appeared at this moment was famous. They were Desolate Heaven Master geniuses that came from large family clans!
However, these people's scores were only 320-30 points.
A full score of 700 points, but geniuses from family clans did not even get half of it. It was obvious how difficult this test was!
At this moment, the people who had not appeared on the list were extremely nervous. They wished that they were the lucky person other than Luo Huo 'er.
A few more names appeared. There was only a small portion of the scroll left on the list. A few people's faces flashed a look of disappointment.
At this moment, the names on the list changed to bigger font. Every word was three times bigger than the original. As the font was bigger, the scroll unfolded at a slower speed. Hence, the time it took for every name to appear became longer.
Yang Yuefeng and company felt that every second felt like a year!
They all wanted to see each other's names first, so that their names would remain until the end.
"Zhou Shiguang. 345 points! "
Zhou Shiguang's name appeared. Zhou Shiguang, who was standing below the stage, felt his head buzz. His ears buzzed and he felt light-headed …
He had been eliminated …
His name appeared before Li Daohuo and Yang Yuefeng, which meant that … He had the lowest score out of the three.
"Brother Shiguang, what a pity …"
Yang Yuefeng said as he fanned himself. He was overjoyed, but he deliberately made a regretful expression.
"No … It's nothing. Congratulations to Brother Yuefeng and Brother Daohuo. My skills are inferior."
Zhou Shiguang cupped his fists as he spoke, but the smile on his face was extremely forced. It was uglier than crying.
At this moment, Yang Yuefeng and Li Daohuo could not be bothered to talk to Zhou Shiguang, because the next name was about to appear. This was the most crucial moment. Their hearts beat like drums, and their pupils constricted as they stared unblinkingly at the slowly unfolding result list.
If their gazes had heat, the list would probably have been set ablaze.
The next was "Li Daohuo, 347 points!"
Li Daohuo's body shook, and his face turned pale! His fingers trembled, and he could not believe what he was seeing.
He had also lost, lost to Yang Yuefeng!
At this moment, Yang Yuefeng was ecstatic!
"Brother Daohuo. What a pity, just a little bit more! "
Yang Yuefeng's heart raced, and his blood flowed faster. He wanted to act calm and at ease. However, he could not pretend. His voice was trembling with excitement.
Anyone could see that Yang Yuefeng was going crazy with joy.
After Li Daohuo, Yang Yuefeng's name appeared.
"Yang Yuefeng, 360 points!"
It was unknown if Yang Yuefeng had performed exceptionally well, or if he was possessed by a god. He had suddenly surpassed Li Daohuo by 13 points, breaking through 360 points.
This score was indeed high! No wonder he was chosen together with Luo Huo 'er.
Many people had such thoughts. They had already begun congratulating Yang Yuefeng.
"Congratulations Brother Yuefeng!"
"Brother Yuefeng, you have to treat us! It has to be the most luxurious room in the Divine Moon Restaurant. It has to be treated for three consecutive days. "
Many people smiled as they complimented him, but their smiles were a bit sour.
However, there were also people who were on Yang Yuefeng's side, or those who had pledged allegiance to the Chu royal residence. They were excited from the bottom of their hearts. Their master was strong, and their backs were stiff. Many of them were glad that they had pledged allegiance to the Chu royal residence.
At this moment, Yang Yuefeng's face was flushed with excitement. His body was like a boiling boiler, about to erupt.
However, he still had a sliver of reason. He could not be complacent until the end. Who knew if a dark horse would appear.
"Everyone, don't congratulate me too early. The Tai Ah Divine City is filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Who knows, there might be people stronger than me, Brother Shiguang and Brother Daohuo."
Yang Yuefeng seemed to be speaking modestly and calmly, but in fact, the veins on his forehead were bulging. His eyes stared unblinkingly at the unfolding results list, and the names that had just appeared flashed through his mind over and over again.
When the result list was unfolded, Yang Yuefeng had already counted the people who could threaten him. Those people had all appeared. That also meant that there was no one who could threaten his second place position.
He should have been chosen as a disciple by Grandmaster Yuehua!
This was like a dream!
"Brother Yuefeng is too modest. How can that be possible? Those who should have appeared have appeared."
Someone said. At this moment, a name that made Yang Yuefeng heave a sigh of relief appeared.
"Luo Huo 'er, 494 points!"
This line of words was even larger than the previous ones, and it was written horizontally, taking up a full two feet of space on the scroll. Each word wasn't written in ink, but condensed from energy runes. That was how the differences between the previous ones were.
494 points!?
So high!?
Seeing this terrifying score, everyone present stared with widened eyes.
Yang Yuefeng, who was ranked second, only had 360 points.
Luo Huo 'er had led by 130 points in an instant. This was insane!
Everyone knew how terrifying Luo Huo 'er was, but only when such an exaggerated result appeared did people realize what an unattainable gap was.
In the crowd, Dong 'er raised her fist when she saw Luo Huo' er's result. It was as if the glory was hers.
"Hehe, Miss sure is powerful. Not only did she get first place, she even led second place by so much. I'll tell Miss the good news in a while, but Miss probably won't be too happy. She will definitely say that it's only natural. "
Dong 'er had already expected Luo Huo' er's reaction.
Luo Huo 'er's result was indeed amazing, but at this moment. Yang Yuefeng did not care about this. He only had one thought in his mind.
Luo Huo 'er had appeared, so it couldn't be wrong!
He was second place because Luo Huo 'er was first. It was impossible for anyone to score higher than Luo Huo' er!
"Congratulations Brother Yuefeng!"
"Brother Yuefeng is really a dragon among men!"
A group of people immediately came forward to congratulate and congratulate him. It did not matter if they were insincere, or if they wanted to soar with Yang Yuefeng from the bottom of their hearts. In short, at this moment, everyone was singing their praises.
Yang Yuefeng was a person chosen by Grandmaster Yuehua. His future was limitless. Now that he was in high spirits, they had to be on good terms with him.
"Haha, everyone is too polite." Yang Yuefeng turned around and calmly accepted the congratulations from these people.
He cleared his throat and said to the people around him, "All these years, this Yang has been practicing the Desolate Heaven technique hard. Although my talent is poor, I have worked hard and did not dare to slack off for a moment. I am indebted to Grandmaster Yuehua for taking this Yang in as a disciple. This Yang is also in awe and trepidation, afraid that I will disappoint Grandmaster Yuehua's expectations. In the future, this Yang will definitely work even harder to cultivate. Together with everyone, we will fight for the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom and protect all life in the world … "
Yang Yuefeng was feeling very happy at this moment. His voice was raised an octave, as if he wished he could fly into the sky.
He had been trying his best to maintain his image of "not being happy with material gains, not being sad for personal gains", but when he said those words … His mouth almost reached the back of his ears.
However, just as Yang Yuefeng's impassioned words came to an end, he suddenly paused.
"Uh … What's the matter?"
He found it strange that the people who were congratulating him had turned sluggish. They stared behind him as if they had seen a ghost.
And at this moment, behind Yang Yuefeng. There was only the ranking list.
Yang Yuefeng's heart skipped a beat. What happened?
Was there a problem with the ranking list?
He did not dare to turn his head. But at this moment, the scene was so quiet that it was strange. Everyone stood in their spots in a daze. Their expressions looked like they had been cursed or possessed.
Yang Yuefeng felt a cold wind blow past him as goosebumps appeared on his back. He even felt that he was not in the Desolate Heaven Master Society, but in a silent graveyard.
"Luo Huo 'er … Luo Huo' er, she … How did this happen …"
After a long period of sluggishness, a youth pointed at the ranking list and murmured. His face was filled with disbelief.
Seeing the youth's reaction, Yang Yuefeng instantly felt like he had been stabbed in the chest.
Everything in the surroundings slowed down.
Yang Yuefeng's body stiffened, as if he had become a zombie that had crawled out of a graveyard. He struggled to twist his body and turned his head bit by bit.
The ranking list that had brought him endless glory and longing seemed to have turned into an evil scroll with a curse drawn on it. No one dared to look at it again.
Yang Yuefeng forced his gaze to land on the ranking list. On the ranking list, there was a position higher than Luo Huo 'er.
A line of words was written in words condensed from shining golden runes.
"Yi Yun, 515 points!"
Upon seeing this line of words, Yang Yuefeng felt all the blood in his body being sucked out. It was as if his body had lost its support and he nearly fell to the ground.
515 points?
515 points?
This line of words was like a curse that circled in Yang Yuefeng's mind. The golden words seemed to turn the color of blood as they swallowed him!
Yi Yun … It's Yi Yun. How could it be Yi Yun!?
Out of the hundred plus Desolate Heaven Master apprentices, there was only one person named Yi Yun. He was also the most impossible person!
"No! I don't believe it! "
Yang Yuefeng screamed madly. His face was already twisted together, and veins spread out on his neck and cheeks. They were like earthworms wriggling under his skin, making Yang Yuefeng look extremely ferocious!
"There must be a mistake! Yi Yun doesn't know the Desolate Heaven technique, so how could he be ranked ahead of Luo Huo 'er!? How could he be ranked ahead of me!? There must be a mistake! There must be a mistake! I'm second! I'm second!! "
Yang Yuefeng was already incoherent.
He could not accept this fact. After giving him endless hope, allowing him to be proud of himself in front of others, everything had been ruthlessly snatched away! It was as if his heart had been ruthlessly slashed!
