Chapter 40
The entire court was deadly silent.
Everyone looked at Chu Liuyue as if they were staring at a maniac. Is she out of her mind? She wants to be assessed on the last two categories? Does she think that she really can pass all three assessments?
Only a few people could pass all three assessments in the entire Country Yao Chen.
Bai Chen knitted his brows very tightly. “Do you know what you’re asking? You really want to be assessed on the last two categories?”
Chu Liuyue nodded.
Bai Chen was silent for a moment before he waved his sleeves and clenched his teeth. “Okay. I do want to see what kind of tricks you can pull off.” After he finished his sentence, he signaled Chu Liuyue to open the remaining two boxes.
Chu Liuyue walked over and opened the one in the middle. There was a piece of paper and a chessboard inside.
The black and white chess pieces were already placed on the chessboard, forming an endgame.
Chu Liuyue took one look at it and noticed that the chess pieces were placed in a regular manner to form an array formation on the chessboard.
The requirement for the Xuan Master assessment was written on the paper—”You’ll pass if you manage to solve this chessboard in two hours.”
Bai Chen stood there dazedly and could not recover his senses for a long time.
H-how long did Chu Liuyue take to solve it?
It seemed like it had not even been a quarter of an hour.
Including the conversation time between both of them, Chu Liuyue literally solved the chess puzzle after looking at it a few times.
Bai Chen was really shocked.
He had been in Tian Lu Academy for many years and had seen numerous Xuan Master talents, but he had never seen one that could solve this assessment so quickly and accurately.
One either had to know the answer beforehand or be extremely talented to be this fast!
This chessboard was one of Tian Lu Academy’s treasured items. It would form different endgames for the various assessments. Even he did not know what the chessboard would look like before he opened the wooden box.
This feat meant that Chu Liuyue was, indeed, very talented as a Xuan Master.
All along, Bai Chen felt that Chu Liuyue had passed the previous warrior assessment by playing some tricks since he did not feel any force circulating in her body. If not, there really was no explanation for how she exuded such an intense suppressive aura and even faced his move head-on. However, everything in front of Bai Chen made him realize that Chu Liuyue was indeed talented.
At the very least, she had the potential to become a top Xuan Master.
“Teacher Bai Chen, do I pass the test?” Chu Liuyue’s lips curved up into a smile, and spoke in her usual nonchalant manner as if she did not notice how shocking her performance was.
However, Bai Chen could not be as calm as her. His heart felt like it had been flipped right over. That was because.. he was also a Xuan Master!
After entering Tian Lu Academy, the students would usually be assigned to various teachers to undergo cultivation. This was even more so for Xuan Masters and heavenly doctors as they were unique.
Every teacher could be considered as individuals.
There were quite a few Xuan Master teachers in Tian Lu Academy. They were all very competitive, especially when it came to showing off how incredible the students they taught were.
Bai Chen was very confident that Chu Liuyue was a very rare Xuan Master talent that would only appear once every 100 years.
Chu Liuyue waited for a while; when she saw that Bai Chen did not say anything, she could not help but call him. “Teacher Bai Chen?”
Bai Chen suddenly recovered his senses, and he looked at Chu Liuyue as if he was looking at a precious treasure. He rubbed his hands together, and a passionate smile was plastered onto his face, which looked very weird with his originally stern look.
“Pass! Pass! Of course, you pass! Hehe, Little Liuyue, what other requests do you have? Just name them! I’ll do it for you!”
