pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ

Unknown to the conversation happening between Ning Chu and Zhang Zhi, Wang Ming was leaning against a wall leisurely with his eyes closed as he ignored the looks everyone was casting toward him

Step Step

Wang Ming slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sounds of footsteps approaching him that abruptly stooped in front of him

When Wang Ming opened his eyes, he saw Yang Jia glaring at him with a frown on her face

" How did you do it??" Yang Jia asked in a barely audible voice while averting eye contact from him

" Do what??" Wang Ming asked in genuine confusion

" Solve, the last question" Yang Jia replied

" Oh, how did you arrive at such a conclusion that I solved it?" Wang Ming asked with curiosity on his face, as he was sure that she could not have seen what he answered

" Hee, it's quite easy to conclude from your facial expression and the smug smile you gave when you finished the last question " Yang Jia replied which caused him to be dumbfounded

' Hmm, does my facial expression really give out such an accurate conclusion, looks like I need to learn to keep my emotions in check' Wang Ming thought in his mind

" Heh, were you looking at my handsome face the whole time?" Wang Ming questioned playfully which caused a faint blush to appear on her face, she indeed did sneak some glances at him when she was not paying attention to his paper, well she could not blame herself, Wang Ming was just too attractive to ignore even though she has a minor grudge towards him which has reduced a lot after observing him for the past two rounds, though she would never admit it due to her pride

" Hmph, some imagination you have" Yang Jia snorted in disdain

" You were lying, right that you had no prior experience in Alchemy right?, otherwise, there is no way you could have solved the last question which I could not have solved" Yang Jia inquired

" No, I am being honest I never practiced Alchemy before" Wang Ming replied to Yang Jia

" You must be lying, otherwise how could you answer such a difficult question???" Yang Jia stubbornly asked

" Well, maybe I am just too talented while on the other hand, you are talentless" Wang Ming replied as he was starting to feel irritated by her rambling which caused the young woman who heard him fume

" You...you...you, argh, I hope you fail in the next round" Yang Jia said angrily, she was always respected by everyone in her sect for her talent, and now Wang Ming was claiming her to be talentless

*Creak*

Suddenly the sound of the door being opened rang in everyone's ears, everyone's body soon turned stiff and tensed when they saw Ning Chu coming outside of the room towards them

"* Cough*, I have the results with me in my hands and will now announce it" Ning Chu started to announce the names of the people who advanced to the next round, the ones whose names were announced were cheering loudly while the others had gloomy and depressed looks on their face

" ....and lastly Yang Jia, these are the people who will advance to the second round" Ning Chu finished announcing the names as silence prevailed in the entire hall as all eyes were focused on Wang Ming

' What the fuck, did I fail?? Impossible!!!' Wang Ming exclaimed inside his mind

" Hey, are my ears okay or did the Vice Hall master not mention Wang Ming's name"

" No, you're ears fine I also did not hear his name being announced"

" Eh, did he really fail??"

" Hahahaha, that handsome bastard really failed"

" Haha, didn't the Vice Hall Master say he was a genius, genius my fart"

" My mood just got a lot better, as he also failed like me"

All of the Cultivators who failed or passed were looking at Wang Ming in amusement while on the other hand, Wang Ming was dumbfounded by their reaction

' Oi, why the hell do you hate me so much, because I am better looking than you, screw you all, and that damned Ning Chu, was it really necessary to open his mouth that time' Wang Ming cursed inside his mind

' Hehe, that's what you get me for calling talentless' Yang Jia grinned while looking at Wang Ming which caused Wang Ming's eyes to twitch, he could exactly guess what she was thinking about

" Huh, what the hell are you talking about, how did you reach the conclusion that he failed to advance" Ning Chu asked in a confused tone which caused everyone and even Wang Ming to look at him strangely

" Vice Hall Master, you didn't mention his name in the list of people who advanced to the second round" one of the participants pointed out

"Oh" a sudden realization flashed in Ning Chu's mind

" The reason I didn't mention his name is that because....." Ning Chu's voice paused as his eyes landed on Wang Ming who was glaring daggers at him which caused him to sweat

"Because?" Yang Jia chimed in

" Well, the hall master contacted me a few moments ago" Ning Chu replied Yang Jia

" Hall master??" Wang Ming asked

" H-Hall M-Master, w-why d-did he contact y-you" Yang Jia asked while stuttering as ominous premonition started to surface in her mind

" Yes, the hall master asked me to inform you that..." Ning Chu paused as he looked at Wang Ming and continued

" You have directly advanced to the last round of the exam and you do not need to attend the second round" Ning Chu said with a smile

" ...." Yang Jia

"....." everyone else

" ...." Wang Ming

" Moreover, he said that he will personally conduct your exam" Ning Chu announced causally

" ...." Yang Jia

"....." everyone else

" ...." Wang Ming

Everyone's jaw almost hit the ground and a long silence prevailed before a commotion started in the hall

" W-What, H-Hall Master?"

" For heaven's sake, he is a 4-star alchemist, I never saw him in my entire life even though my father is an alchemist of the Alchemy Hall, and you are telling me he wants to conduct his test"

" Haha, where are the ones that were mocking Boss Wang Ming??"

" Damn, I am jealous, he gets to skip the second round"

" Why does he get to skip the second round, it is unfair"

" What's unfair, hall master must have observed him before taking such a decision"

" Heck, whatever I still oppose, he as to adhere to the rules"

" Yes, he has to take the second test before taking the final"

The initial shock and silence changed into public protest when they heard Wang Ming directly advance to the last round

' Was he monitoring me with some kind of treasure' Wang Ming thought to himself as he suddenly remembered that he got the feeling that someone was watching him when he was busy identifying the herbs

' That must be it, oh well, the faster I am done with the test, the faster I can become an Alchemist and sell the pills to repay the debt that I owe the system' Wang Ming thought to himself as he dreamed about buying things from the shop again

' I made a fool out of myself, how embarrassing' Yang Jia was gritting her teeth with clenched fist as she remembered how she was mocking Wang Ming silently but now she become the butt of th joke

" SILENCE" Ning Chu shouted loudly as he started to feel irritated by their nonsensical rambling, thus causing everyone to close their mouth immediately and suppress any dissatisfaction they were feeling

" This decision has been made by the Hall Master, if you do not like the judgment of the Hall Master Zhang Zhi, you can go and voice your dissatisfaction to him" when everyone heard Ning Chu's voice, their face turned in fright thinking who in their right mind would go there to tell the judgment of Hall Master is wrong

" Now, those who have passed go inside the designated hall where the second round will take place, I will be escorting Wang Ming to the Hall Master's office, so your exam will be conducted by another Alchemist" Ning Chu said everyone while glaring as they silently started walking heading for the room after they were gone from his sight he looked at Wang Ming with a smile

" Eh, Senior Ning Chu, why is the Hall master interested to conduct my test all of sudden" Wang Ming asked with curiosity in his voice

" Well I am not sure but I may have a hunch as to what it might be about, I think you should learn about it from the hall master " Ning Chu said as Wang Ming nodded silently

Soon Wang Min started to follow Ning Chu's figure silently as they made their way toward the room of the hall master

Suddenly their steps came to a stop as a giant metal door was in their way,...

" Hallmaster, I have arrived with the youth named Wang Ming" Ning Chu said

" Come in" as soon as the voice resounded the large door parted as both of them walked in
