Ye Yuan replied, nonchalantly, "Relax, that day won't be too far off. There isn't any difficulty in surpassing you."
Chapter 1370 - Wu Meng Wargod Formula
"How arrogant! Although this guy has some potential, wanting to surpass Jia Chong, he's probably still a little too tender."
"Looking at Jia Chong's strength, he'll also be top three no matter what in the third round, right? Overall strength being so powerful, Ye Yuan really dared to say it!"
"Heh, this kid is probably puffed up! I thought that his first round's results were not bad and could disregard other people. He also doesn't think about it, even the first round, Jia Chong wasn't much worse than him either."
...
Ye Yuan's words immediately kicked up a wave in the crowd.
These words were rather arrogant!
Ye Yuan's first round's performance was indeed eye-catching. But in the second round, he immediately revealed his true colors.
His overall strength was not on the same level as Jia Chong at all.
With two rounds, Ye Yuan's results already faded into the crowd.
Forget about Jia Chong, even some who were ranked slightly behind also caught up from behind, surpassing him.
"Hahaha … You really dare to say that?! I want to take a look at how you surpass me! Why not … let's compete in the third round, how's that?" Jia Chong said oppressively.
The third round, Illumination, was about competing on comprehension ability!
Willpower, strength, comprehension ability, this was the true objective of the Wu Meng Academy's three rounds of assessment.
Only by completely passing the three rounds was one worthy of Wu Meng Academy's grooming, becoming an official student.
Jia Chong was certain that Ye Yuan was just threatening in manner, but inwardly shaky, and did not dare to compete with him.
Judging from bone age, he was about the same as Ye Yuan.
However, he was grand completion Grotto Profound right now, while Ye Yuan was just middle-stage Grotto Profound.
Just judging from cultivation realm, it was already sufficient to indicate many problems.
Martial Dao willpower this thing was unrelated to cultivation realm. But comprehension ability this thing had considerable relationship with cultivation realm.
Ye Yuan looked at Jia Chong with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Alright, how to compete?"
Jia Chong sneered coldly in his heart. Looks like this guy was puffing himself up at his own cost, stubbornly hanging on till the end.
"Since that's the case, then let you lose everything! Let you know what's the outcome of standing up for this trash!" Jia Chong laughed coldly in his heart.
"Compete in points! The one who wins gets all of the other party's points! Do you dare?" Jia Chong said in an imposing manner.
Ye Yuan was delighted the moment he heard and said with a smile, "Since you're so generous, then your points, I'll take it upon myself and accept it."
Everyone looked at Ye Yuan like looking at a fool, feeling that this guy was really crazy.
Xie Jingyi pulled Ye Yuan's clothes and whispered, "Brother, I've received your kind intentions. But don't compete with him. You're not his match. This guy is known as Brilliant Peace City's number one genius, his comprehension ability being abnormally high! Whatever cultivation methods and martial techniques reach his hands, there's none that he can't comprehend!"
Jia Chong laughed loudly and said, "Heard that? Ye Yuan, bragging also depends on the target! Not anyone can proclaim to be a genius!"
But Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and said to the old man on the platform with cupped fists, "Student Ye Yuan, requests Teacher to be a witness and arrange for a wager agreement with him!"
The old man had long been paying attention to the situation over here. But he did not say anything.
Wu Meng Academy encouraged this kind of competition. Gambling agreements that did not affect the whole, they did not forbid such things.
It was just that like today, drawing up a gambling agreement before even entering the sect, it was really not frequently seen.
The old man nodded and said, "Can!"
Ye Yuan's actions made everyone stunned.
Agreed upon just like this?
This Ye Yuan's head wouldn't be defective, right?
"Ye Yuan, this …"
"Alright, stop being foolishly sentimental! If you're a man, clear this third round properly, don't let people look down on you!" Ye Yuan said coolly.
Xie Jingyi had remorse and guilt written all over his face. Hearing Ye Yuan say so, he gritted his teeth and said, "You rest assured, I definitely won't disappoint you! Jia Chong, don't blame us for bullying you! Teacher, Ye Yuan's points aren't enough, so I'll bet all of my points too! If we win, the points all belong to Ye Yuan; if lose, our points will all go to him!"
It was also unknown where Xie Jingyi's courage came from either, to actually make this kind of decision.
Previously, when he saw Jia Chong, he could not even speak. He did not expect that he actually still had such a hot-blooded side.
The look in Xie Jingyi's eyes, Jia Chong disliked it a lot!
He suddenly discovered that this opponent he had always looked down on seemed to have really grown up!
"Heh, fools! Since you're gifting points to me for free, then I'll accept it! I'll let you guys know what's called disparity!" Jia Chong said with a cold smile.
Ye Yuan looked at Xie Jingyi rather surprisedly, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Relax, won't lose. His points, let's each take half."
Everyone was speechless. This had not begun yet, and they already started dividing the loot?
This guy was also too condescending.
The old man could not stop sizing up Ye Yuan rather curiously. He very much wanted to see a trace of uneasiness from Ye Yuan's eyes.
But he was disappointed.
Ye Yuan had an appearance of having a well-thought-out plan, not putting Jia Chong in his sights at all.
He was very perplexed, just where Ye Yuan's confidence lay.
The second round already thoroughly exposed Ye Yuan's true standards.
Maybe he had potential, but it was absolutely not as powerful as what he displayed in the first round.
Age similar to Jia Chong, but two minor realms lower than him, the disparity was already very apparent.
Of course, these doubts, he only kept them in his mind. He was very curious to what extent Ye Yuan could do it.
"Alright, being able to walk to this step, everybody already proved your strength. This third round is a test, but to you all, it's a lucky chance too! How much you can comprehend will depend on your good fortune!" said the old man coolly.
Hearing the old man's words, everyone's faces all faintly revealed looks of anticipation.
Three rounds of entrance examinations, this third round was the most mysterious.
Although everyone knew that what this round tested was comprehension ability, they did not know the specifics of the test contents.
Because this third round's test was strictly confidential to the outside world.
"Now, you all swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, you're not to reveal anything about this third round's test contents to the outside! Those unwilling to swear the oath can withdraw right now!" said the old man seriously.
Ye Yuan was also very curious. It looked like the contents of this third round's test seemed to be rather extraordinary!
Under the old man's lead, everyone participated in the Heavenly Dao Oath.
"Now, you all return to your respective lotus seats! The test content of this third round is to comprehend a set of cultivation method! The name of this cultivation method is Wu Meng Wargod Formula!" said the old man nonchalantly.
A stone stirred up a thousand-story wave. The old man's words immediately made the remaining people seethe.
"It's actually the Wu Meng Wargod Formula! I didn't expect that we can actually comprehend the Wu
Meng Wargod Formula!"
"Wu Meng Wargod Formula is City Lord, His Excellency's, primary cultivation method! One can cultivate all the way to Divine Lord Realm! No wonder! No wonder this third round's test content has always been kept confidential to the outside!"
"It's truly a good fortune of three lifetimes! Being able to comprehend the Wu Meng Wargod Formula, even if eliminated in this round, it's worth it too!"
"Even if just comprehended a tiny bit, this set of cultivation method is also sufficient to let us benefit for life!"
Chapter 1371 - Talent Too Poor?
"Starting from now, you all have one month's time to comprehend the Wu Meng Wargod Formula's first level cultivation method! After a month, you all will revolve the cultivation method on this jade pillar. You just have to make the jade pillar light up five scale lines, and it's considered as a pass! After five scale lines, each scale higher, you'll obtain 15 points!"
In front of the plaza stood an emerald green jade pillar.
There were 30 scale lines on the jade pillar. They naturally represented the comprehension degree of 30 levels.
"Five scales and you pass the test? Then isn't this round very easy?" Ye Yuan said rather curiously.
Xie Jingyi smiled bitterly and said, "How can it be as easy as you think? Actually, this round is the hardest among the three rounds! The Wu Meng Wargod Formula is extensive and profound, how much can one comprehend in a month's time? Right now, there are still around 2000 people remaining. It would be pretty good to have four to five hundred people remaining in the end! The majority of the people's standard is also just around three or four scales. Five scales are very difficult. If you get those people who are eliminated come and comprehend, it would be pretty impressive to be able to have one scale."
Ye Yuan came to understand in his heart and had a direct understanding of this round's difficulty.
But this was not a problem for him. He was very confident in his comprehension ability.
"So that's how it is! Then in your view, how many scales can Jia Chong reach?" Ye Yuan said curiously.
Xie Jingyi's expression turned stern, and he said, "In the legends, the highest record for this round is 23 scales! In normal years, the number one is approximately 15 to 16 scales. If judging him according to third place, it's roughly 12 to 13 scales! Ye Yuan, are you … confident?"
Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a smile, "You just put your heart back in place! What you have to do is comprehend well and succeed in clearing the round!"
Seeing Ye Yuan so certain, Xie Jingyi settled down a lot in his heart.
Perhaps Ye Yuan could really create a miracle!
"Now, third round, Illumination … start!"
Following the old man's voice sounding out, everyone's consciousness was pulled out of the body once more.
In the consciousness space, Ye Yuan was surrounded by endless divine inscriptions.
Presently, divine inscriptions were already not some unfathomable thing to Ye Yuan anymore.
"This set of cultivation method … seems to be very simple!"
Ye Yuan browsed over the divine inscriptions and discovered that this set of cultivation method was surprisingly simple.
Originally, he still wanted to comprehend it earnestly but discovered that these divine inscriptions were easily discerned at a glance. There was no mystery to speak of in front of him at all.
A hint of understanding appeared in Ye Yuan's heart as he sighed emotionally and said, "Yeah, the Chaos Heavenspan Canon is all-encompassing. It's no idea how many levels stronger than this Wu Meng Wargod Formula. No wonder it would be so simple."
Ye Yuan found the reason very quickly. His horizons were too high!
What kind of cultivation method the Chaos Heavenspan Canon turned into in the future, Ye Yuan was not clear as well. But to be able to trigger an illusionary Heavenspan Mountain to descend, this first level cultivation method was absolutely no ordinary!
Ye Yuan created the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, then coming to comprehend the Wu Meng Wargod Formula, he was like a top student learning advanced mathematics going to do elementary school math problems.
Too simple!
"This cultivation method has its merits. But sadly, it's a little shallow. If modifying it slightly, it should have greater potential. But my current realm is too low. At most, I can only modify this first level's cultivation method."
Only using three days' time, Ye Yuan thoroughly comprehended the Wu Meng Wargod Formula.
Not just so, he even saw through this cultivation method's many shortcomings.
As long as he was willing, he could make this cultivation method even more perfect, letting the foundations of the people who cultivate it be even more solid.
It was just that there was no meaning in him doing so right now, so he could not be bothered to do it either.
This cultivation method was too simple. Ye Yuan was bored to death staying behind and directly withdrew out of the consciousness space.
"Mm? It has only been three days, and somebody left the consciousness space?"
The mind of the old man on the platform stirred, his brows knitted tightly, his gaze begun searching in the crowd.
"Could it be that somebody felt that the Wu Meng Wargod Formula is too hard, and is aware that they are unable to pass the test, so they abandoned themselves to despair?" said another old man.
"Afraid so!"
The test in the past, no matter how talented the student, there had never been a precedent of withdrawing out of the consciousness space in-advance too.
He did not expect that this time, it actually appeared.
Even if those people knew that they were unable to pass the test, they would also do their best to comprehend the cultivation method.
After all, Wu Meng Wargod Formula, this level of cultivation method, was one-of-a-kind in the entire Wu Meng Capital City, the opportunity hard to come by!
The two old men presiding over the test both gave rise to a strong contempt towards this person.
People of the Martial Dao dreaded retreating in the face of difficulties the most.
This kind of mind, how to accomplish great things?
Right at this time, Ye Yuan slowly left the lotus seat and walked over towards the waiting area.
"It's him!"
"This boy, his talent should be so poor, right?"
"That's hard to say too! After all, Martial Dao willpower and comprehension ability don't have a definite relationship. His age isn't young anymore as well, but his realm is only so little. Perhaps it's a problem of comprehension ability!"
"What you say makes sense too! It's just that his wager agreement … probably can't be realized anymore! Originally thought that he could definitely pass the test."
"Heh, not fulfilling the wager agreement, Jia Chong probably won't let him off, right?"
"Since he isn't the academy's student, his life and death have nothing to do with us."
The two people already determined that this was Ye Yuan's talent being too poor, unable to comprehend the Wu Meng Wargod Formula.
After all, the Wu Meng Wargod Formula, such a profound cultivation method, even just the first level, was also absolutely not what could be comprehended in a month,
In reality, the 30 scale lines on the jade pillar were not complete, they were just a portion.
Wanting to fully comprehend the first level's cultivation method, no matter how talented, one needed a hundred year's time too.
A month was just a bit of superficial knowledge.
But whether Ye Yuan was eliminated or not still had to wait until after the jade pillar's test to decide.
Ye Yuan came before the platform, gave a bow toward the two old men as a show of respect.
One of them could not resist and still opened his mouth to ask, "Ye Yuan, why did you withdraw from the consciousness space so quickly? Although this cultivation method is profound, if you comprehend for a month, it's sufficient to benefit you for life!"
/> Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you for Teacher's concern! The Wu Meng Wargod Formula is indeed extensive and profound. But a month's time seriously can't comprehend much. I plan on comprehending in detail after entering the academy."
The old man froze, being somewhat baffled by Ye Yuan.
With the way you were, you still want to enter the Wu Meng Academy?
He had never seen before someone capable of entering the Wu Meng Academy with just three days of comprehension.
The old man's face fell, and he said, "Ye Yuan, you mustn't reach beyond your reach as a person! Your Martial Dao willpower is very firm, but since your talent is lacking, you have to make up for it with diligence. How can you talk big to impress people?"
In his view, Ye Yuan was clearly too lacking in talent, yet insisted on acting and showing off.
At that time, they would not even know how they died.
Ye Yuan just smiled slightly when he heard that and said, "Thank you for Teacher's concern, Ye Yuan understands!"
Chapter 1372 - You Idiot!
"Huhu, looks like you didn't misjudge here. His first round's performance deceived all of us! Looks like Teacher Lei Dong and Teacher Mu Sen were also deceived by him!" Song Fang said to Jiang Chen with a laugh.
But Jiang Chen did not speak when he heard that, seemingly pondering about something.
"I wonder… Do you think his talent really too poor? If his talent is really very poor, then how did he clear the second round? Even if cultivation realm is compensated, wanting to clear the round isn't that easy either, right?" Jiang Chen said with a frown.
If his talent was really poor to such a degree, even if a middle-stage Grotto Profound's realm was compensated, it was basically impossible to pass the second round too.
However, not only did Ye Yuan pass it, he even exceeded by three waves!
"You're saying …" Song Fang was also puzzled.
Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know either! I similarly don't think that he can beat Jia Chong by comprehending three days! The difficulty of the Wu Meng Wargod Formula, you and I are all too clear!"
