Chapter 300 - 298: Assessment Complete

Therefore, magic is the skill that Wang Wenbai is most confident in, believing himself to be a few degrees stronger than Rong Xuejian and You Qingyi.

Even compared to Lou Yi before, he didn’t feel himself lacking.

Some people always subconsciously beautify themselves in their hearts and belittle others.

However, when Lou Yi made his appearance, reality taught Wang Wenbai a lesson.

Lou Yi simply waved his hand gracefully.

A cold wind, dark clouds, and rain came as easily as a dragon’s flow.

Even Steward Wen’s eyes brightened at this, and he couldn’t help but praise, "Good! Your technique is almost equivalent to instant casting, something many true disciples cannot achieve!"

"Top of the Class!"

As soon as this evaluation came out, everyone was shocked.

Wang Wenbai felt as if his head had been struck by a huge thunderbolt.

Top of the Class is the highest evaluation.

And just now Lou Yi’s performance made him feel a deep sense of despair.

’How can it be? How did he improve so much since last time!’

Wang Wenbai never imagined that in this world, there could be a cheat such as the Attribute Panel.

To be able to instantly raise the Rain Technique to mastery level, reaching an excellent standard even among true disciples.

Thinking of how he had just belittled Lou Yi in front of everyone, and then sensing the playful gazes cast at him from time to time.

Wang Wenbai only felt his face burning hot, wanting to find a hole to immediately crawl into.

"Wang Wenbai."

Upon hearing his name called, Wang Wenbai forcibly suppressed his restless emotions, walked into the field with a straight face.

’Steady your emotions, steady!’

’As long as I perform perfectly this time and also get a Top of the Class evaluation, there’s still a chance!’

’The next Corpse Control evaluation, I’ll outperform him... wait, he seems to have an Innate Spirit Corpse, so isn’t he obviously first in Corpse Control?’

At this thought, Wang Wenbai’s emotions wavered, and his movements paused slightly.

The cool wind that had just risen in the heavens and the earth lost its follow-up.

The magic that was about to be cast ended without success!

Just this one failure destined him to never get a Top-Class evaluation.

Plus, his Corpse Control surely can’t beat Lou Yi’s...

’Wait, Lou Yi’s farm was messed with by me and landed in Zone Wujiu, surely yielding nothing!

He’s sure to get a ’D’ evaluation... I still have a chance, don’t panic...’

Wang Wenbai continuously comforted himself, just about to start casting the Rain Technique a second time.

At this moment, he heard Steward Wen laughing, "Old Kong, are you done over there? So, any disciples caught your eye?"

"Most are so-so, but fortunately, there’s one that’s pretty good, seems to be named Lou Yi, and I gave him a ’Top of the Class’ evaluation."

Lou Yi, Top of the Class?

The scene erupted among all the disciples.

And for Wang Wenbai, it felt as if his brain exploded with a ’boom’.

His movements stopped, and his casting failed again.

This indicated that he might not even achieve a ’B’ level evaluation.

Forget about competing for the first place; even maintaining the top three seemed a luxury now.

"I...I..." Endless grievance, unwillingness, anger, hate, and jealousy surged in his heart, but he couldn’t vent at all.

Just at this time, Lou Yi’s teasing gaze was again cast, landing in Wang Wenbai’s eyes.

’Puh!’

He spat out a mouthful of blood violently, his body swayed, and with a ’bang’, he fell to the ground.

"Not good, he’s gone astray!" Steward Wen was shocked, "Quick, someone, take him to Elder Xi!"

Quickly, warriors came up with a stretcher and took the blood-vomiting, fainted Wang Wenbai away.

On the other side, Lou Yi was somewhat dumbfounded.

’I was just trying to stimulate him with the Control Talent, didn’t expect the result to be so effective.’

’It’s said that only at the Foundation Establishment Stage can a cultivator’s spiritual sense evolve to form a Divine Sense that can project externally.’

’This Control Talent seems to be usable as Spiritual Magic, with great potential; at critical moments, it might just turn defeat into victory.’

With Wang Wenbai as the experimental target, Lou Yi discovered greater potential in the Control Talent.

If the opponent knew, he might really die spitting blood.

Not to mention Wang Wenbai being carried away, the assessment on the scene continued.

The third item was Corpse Control walking, checking the coordination with the Lifebound Corpse.

More than half of the disciples had brought their Lifebound Corpses to the mountain top, mostly by supporting them along.

Their Lifebound Corpses were almost all at the Grass Corpse stage, still a distance from Walking Corpse.

Now, controlling the corpses to walk was almost an impossible task.

Even keeping them standing steadily was difficult, so the evaluations were all below ’C’.

Only You Qingyi, Rong Xuejian, and a few others had trained their Lifebound Corpses to the Walking Corpse level, able to control them to walk smoothly, receiving a ’B’ evaluation.

When it came to Lou Yi, this time everyone couldn’t help but have a thought: ’His Lifebound Corpse is an Innate Spirit Corpse, so at least a ’B upper’, right?’

But Lou Er’s performance was even better than they imagined.

Walking, jumping, lateral shifting, that was basic operation.

He even performed more complex movements like ’push-ups’ and ’exercise routines’ from his past life, which even ordinary Iron Corpses found difficult to do.

The two stewards responsible for assessment were dumbfounded.

Steward Wen unhesitatingly gave Lou Yi another ’Top of the Class’ evaluation.

At this point, the first assessment of the new disciples brought by Wei Jian concluded thoroughly.

Lou Yi won first place with a leading advantage, You Qingyi second, and Rong Xuejian third.

And the chubby Dai Xiang, although average in everything, had no shortcomings and just squeezed into the top ten.

Lou Yi, winning as first, received the following rewards: two bottles of Low Grade Qi Absorption Pill and ten contribution points.

Steward Kong, responsible for inspecting the farm yields, gave a few words of encouragement to Lou Yi on the spot.

Before leaving, he gave Lou Yi another bottle of a precious Qi Absorption Pill.

Seeing this, Steward Wen had to express his stance by also gifting Lou Yi a bottle of Qi Absorption Pill.

Gaining two extra bottles of the precious Qi Absorption Pill for the Early Stage of Qi Cultivation, Lou Yi couldn’t help but sigh about how being a top student is great; in any world, teachers pay attention to you.

The assessment ended, and the crowd dispersed, with many people for the first time proactively greeting Lou Yi.

"Brother Lou, amazing!"

"Next time, when free, I would like to seek advice from Brother Lou."

Even the usually aloof You Qingyi softly said as she walked by Lou Yi, "Next time, I will definitely not lose to you."

Hearing this, Lou Yi was a bit stunned, then shook his head with a smile.

After all, no matter how aloof You Qingyi was, she was only a sixteen to seventeen-year-old girl, what scheming could she have?

As for Rong Xuejian, he continued to show his style of ’never feeling ashamed to ask and learn’, seeking Lou Yi’s insights on the Rain Technique and Corpse Control Technique notions.

Because he needed his recommendation to enter the Four Seas Association and also had a good impression of Rong Xuejian.

Lou Yi held nothing back, explaining all his understanding, which made Rong Xuejian nod continuously, looking greatly enlightened.

Quickly, the process and results of this new disciples’ assessment spread wildly within the circle of outer disciples.

A Lower-Grade Spirit Root won first place in the assessment, defeating two Superior-Grade Spirit Roots.

Even one Superior-Grade Spirit Root fainting, possibly related to him, became an interesting topic of discussion among many outer disciples afterwards.
