Each of the four young pupils carried an exquisite bag that contained a jade pendant.
Those examinees were all familiar with it. One by one, they skillfully pulled open their bag and then dripped their blood into it.
With her round eyes, Big Sister Wei glanced around at the lively group of candidates, she then turned her head to look at Su Luo who was still immersed in cultivation and unaware of the current situation. In that moment, the expression in Big Sister Wei’s eyes showed that she was lost and puzzled.
She was in a state of confusion. People in Downstream Mountain knew this well and understood why she was like this. However, none of them came forward to tell Big Sister Wei what to do.
It was not only because these two ladies offended the guardian right at the beginning. Most importantly, it was because the people on Downstream Mountain had always looked down on the people from Distal End Mountain.
There were assigned group numbers that were carved on the jade pendant, as well as the numbers that would be drawn by each person. Those candidates dropped their own blood on the jade pendant. It then allowed them to sense the existence of their group members. So, naturally, all people that belonged to the same group would come together.
There were 200 to 300 candidates from the Roaming Dragon List that were living on Downstream Mountain. In addition, there were also 3 other candidates from Distal End Mountain. Some of the candidates had already gone out to perform some tasks while others were at the critical points of their advancement level, therefore the Downstream Mountain only had 95 candidates. Including Su Luo and Big Sister Wei, the total count was 98 to be exact.
There were 10 groups in this examination, and each group had 10 individuals. So, the last group only had 8 individuals.
After most of the candidates entered, Sister Wei still sat there with Su Luo as she showed no signs of awakening.
At this time, there were only six candidates left in the entire square, plus Su Luo and Big Sister Wei.
Seeing that Big Sister Wei didn’t plan to come up, one of the young pupil’s eyes flashed a cold sneer. Then, he put the bag away and prepared to leave.
Right at this moment, a young man who was standing not far from Big Sister Wei said in a low upset voice, “Hurry up and get the registered jade pendant. Otherwise, there is no way you can take the exam if you’re too late.”
The young man had never seen such a stupid person!
She rushed to the square from thousands of miles away but didn’t even get the jade pendant. Instead, she just waited in a daze for someone to give it to her?
The young man was not actually reminding her out of kindness. He just had the bad luck to be assigned to the last group, and this group had only six people so far. How could such a team beat others? Although he looked down on the people who came from Distal End Mountain, he thought it would still be good to use them as a shield. Therefore, he kindly opened his mouth to remind Big Sister Wei about it.
Even though Big Sister Wei was not quick-witted, she was sometimes quick to respond. After listening to the reminder from the young man, she looked at Su Luo and then thought about what Abbess Miejue said beforeâ??something about registering but not reporting. Therefore, she quickly dashed toward the young pupil.
Just as the young pupil was about to put his bag away, he suddenly felt his hands were clamped by an iron grip. He grimaced in pain with his mouth open. By the time he recovered, the bag had already been snatched by Big Sister Wei.
Big Sister Wei took out two jade pendants and threw the bag onto the young pupil’s face. Then with another swish, she shot back over to Su Luo’s side.
This whole thing happened so unimaginably fast, as if it occurred during the snapping of one’s fingers.
The young pupil was stunned and grasped the bag down from his face. Only then did he realize that he should be angry, so he muttered bitterly: “This broken team can’t win unless God opens his eyes! Bah!”
The guardian glanced at him, but she didn’t stop him from cursing. Instead, she smiled lightly: “Why bother lowering yourself to the same level as those uncouth people?”
