Chapter 645: Chapter 38 Beast Control Discussion_3

However, he smiled and did not refuse the challenge from Junior Brother Mo.

Soon, Wang Ba found that the line in front of him was incredibly long, far longer than he thought, with hundreds of people waiting.

There were both Foundation Establishment Competitors and Golden Core Craftsmen.

Yet, only about a dozen people were allowed to enter the Baiwen Tower at a time.

Of course, the ones who entered left quite quickly. Most of them looked wretched when they came out, and Wang Ba could faintly hear the conversations amongst them.

“… Alas, this time it was way too difficult!”

...

“Right! Who the hell could answer that…who knows which old bastard came up with it, this is just making life difficult for us!”

“Haha, that’s why the reward is so great—it’s the blood and essence of a Fourth-Order Spirit Beast!”

“Sigh, I probably won’t make it to the top ranks this time!”

Above the Yushou Baiwen Tower, a light curtain successively displayed names and corresponding scores.

“First in the Foundation Establishment Realm: Wang Fang from Qingmu Peak, 78 points!”

“Second in the Foundation Establishment Realm: Yan Ke from Shou Peak, 76 points!”

“Foundation Establishment Realm…”

“First in the Golden Core Realm: Wu Huayu from Shou Peak, 74 points!”

“Second in the Golden Core Realm: Zhu Wen from Danding Peak, 67 points!”

“Golden Core Realm…”

None of these cultivators had scores exceeding 80.

Among them, Wang Ba recognized some familiar faces.

For example, some Foundation Establishment and Golden Core disciples from Shou Peak.

While he didn’t often cross paths with them, he had spent a considerable amount of time at Yushou Peak, so he had gotten to know some of them.

After listening for a while, he found that almost everyone was complaining about the difficulty.

Perhaps due to a prohibition, none of these people were allowed to disclose the content of the questions.

Wang Ba took another look at the line in front of him. Despite many people coming out, the line seemed to haven’t moved at all.

Wang Ba hesitated for a moment, scanning the crowd. He saw a somewhat deserted corner and his eyes flickered. He quickly said to Mo Qi:

“Junior Brother Mo, could you save my spot? I have to step out for a while.”

Mo Qi’s face instantly showed a hint of displeasure. He was about to refuse, but he found that Wang Ba had already left.

“I haven’t agreed yet!”

Mo Qi grumbled.

But seeing Wang Ba disappear into the crowd, he could only wait in line, twiddling his thumbs in boredom.

In his mind, he was quietly reviewing what he had learned and the knowledge he had accumulated in the process of nurturing his Spirit Beast.

He waited patiently as one cultivator after another left the line and his turn was coming up.

But what made Mo Qi nervous was that Wang Ba had not returned yet.

Just as he was preparing to give his spot to the person behind him, Wang Ba finally arrived.

“What were you doing? Why did it take you so long?”

Mo Qi couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

Wang Ba promptly bowed his head respectfully, showed an insincere smile, and said:

“I am sorry to have kept you waiting, Junior Brother!”

“Humph!”

Mo Qi didn’t have time to argue with him.

He quickly went up to Baiwen Tower.

Mo Qi glanced at the light curtain in the sky above the Baiwen Tower. The highest score in the Foundation Establishment Realm was only 87 points.

A confident smile appeared on Mo Qi’s face.

Then he stepped into the Baiwen Tower.

Not much later,

Mo Qi walked out of the Baiwen Tower, looking a bit tired but satisfied.

As he came out, the light curtain above Baiwen Tower switched to a new score for the top spot in the Foundation Establishment Realm—99.

And the name in front of this score was Mo Qi from Shou Peak!

The surrounding cultivators, even those who were not Beast Controlling experts, let out appreciative gasps when they saw this score on the Yushou Baiwen Tower.

“99 points! Isn’t that almost a perfect score? It’s too incredible?!”

“It’s probably not a perfect score. There are only 101 questions in total in the Baiwen Tower, and generally speaking, the last question is worth 20 points. He probably answered the first 99 questions. Or maybe he answered 100 of them and got 99 correct. But even so, it’s remarkable. After all, the last question is supposed to be the most challenging to save the face of the one who set it. I mean, if all the questions are answered correctly, wouldn’t that mean the one who set the questions is incompetent?”

At this moment, not only the surrounding cultivators, but also some of the Nascent Soul cultivators who had been paying close attention all along, couldn’t help but let out exclamations of surprise.

Far away.

Inside the Five Elements Division.

The ministers of every department of the Five Elements Division gathered around a light screen, fully engrossed.

Cui Daqi, the Minister of the Spirit Food Department, was all smiles. When he saw Mo Qi’s score, he immediately said to Martial Uncle Qi:

“You really did find a gem there. He’s only been in the sect for a few years, right? And he was able to get 99 points. That’s quite impressive!”

Cui Daqi was the Minister of the Spirit Food Department, while Qi Yan was the Minister of the Beast Department.

The two often had dealings and naturally had developed a relationship.

However, upon hearing Cui Daqi’s words, Qi Yan’s face did not show a smile. Instead, he showed a hint of disappointment that was hard to detect.

Mo Qi was incredibly excited at this moment.

He didn’t purposely look at the number on the light screen above the Baiwen Tower.

In fact, he had calculated this number while answering the questions.

So he knew his score without even looking.

But precisely because of this, he had to act indifferent, as if he didn’t care at all.

He walked out of the Baiwen Tower and approached Wang Ba.

As he felt the amazed gazes from the surrounding cultivators, he finally felt satisfied and confident.

He smiled reservedly at Wang Ba and said, “Haha, Senior Brother Wang, it’s your turn now.”

Wang Ba just smiled at his words.

His attitude remained unaffected by Mo Qi’s status.

Instead, he sincerely praised: “Junior Brother, your performance this time is quite good, it’s something to celebrate. If Martial Uncle Qi knew, he would definitely be extremely happy.”

Upon hearing Wang Ba’s words, Mo Qi instantly felt uncomfortable.

What’s this tone—are you my master’s disciple, or am I?

He suppressed his discontent and said impatiently, “Senior Brother, you’d better not keep the people behind us waiting.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba didn’t delay any longer and quickly entered the tower.

Upon entering the Baiwen Tower, he saw two staircases.

A sign marked “Foundation Establishment” hung beside one staircase.

A sign marked “Golden Core” hung beside the other.

Wang Ba thought to himself: “Martial Uncle Qi has been taking good care of me, and the rewards are also impressive, so…”

With this in mind, he went straight towards the staircase marked “Golden Core” and climbed it slowly.
