Ch 1561 - Examination of the Sacred Runic Master
…
…
…
The fellowship of heavenly Fine Masters held an exam for the heavenly secret masters every year. In search of talented individuals, the Heavenly Appearance Masters Guild made no effort.
For this examination there would always be a large number of young martial artists that entered Divine Rune City every year, he said, hoping that they would be able to gain the recognition of the Sacred Runic Master Guild and bring back the divine runic master badge that they could proudly display to the world.
These young men had come not only from Divine Rune City but from many other places throughout the Asura Road. For example, Yue Qifeng and Yue Liuxing were examples.
On the morning of the examination, Lin Ming stood before the gate of the Divine Runic Masters Guild, staring at the dignified and weighty plaque. He took a deep breath.
Once he became a celestial secret master registered in the Divine Runic Masters Guild then it would be easier for him to come into contact with the Heaven Net assassin, Blood Moon. With his status as a heavenly secret master, wanting to exchange for the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace section of the Celestial Tyrant Manual should not be a problem. Moreover, Lin Ming suspected that even though Blood Moon had the last piece of the Celestial Tyrant Manual, this cultivation method should not be too useful to him. Lin Ming did not believe that there was anyone other than himself and Empyrean Primordius who had opened the Nine Stars Dao Palace.
“We're finally here! This is this place! "
As Lin Ming was deep in thought, he heard the voice of the gentle woman behind him. He turned around to see a young woman in the heavenly secret white lord robe dragging along a gray-haired old man, seemingly in a hurry to enter the Runic God Masters Guild.
This young lady looked the same age as Xiao Moxian. Under his master's extremely thick robe, one could still see the curves of his winding body. She really is a beautiful young lady.
On the chest of his robe was a divine runic badge. This badge only had one rune carved on it without a single line; this was the badge worn by the heavenly secret apprentice.
As for the old man who was being dragged away, he smiled as he pulled over. “What are you in a hurry for, why are you so anxious? The examination did not even begin for another two hours and there were not many people on the battlefield. As for the other old men, they would definitely not appear until the last moment. ”
As the old man spoke, Lin Ming glanced at the celestial secret master badge on his chest. There were six lines, indicating that he was a sixth grade heavenly secret master!
Moreover, the last strip was decorated with three small runes. This meant that this old man was considered first class among the sixth grade divine runic masters. He could even be called a superior sixth grade heavenly secret master!
This was an incredible achievement and it also meant that the cultivation of this old man was likely to have reached the limit of a Great World King. Even if not, he might not be too far away.
"The inner Asura Road really has many World Kings …"
Lin Ming was already mentally prepared for this. The Asura Road originally gathered all outstanding individuals from the 33 Heavens, and this was especially true for the inner Asura Road. Moreover, Divine Rune City was one of the most prosperous cities in the Asura Road. Here, Holy Gods and Heavenly Deities were too common, and even World Kings were not a rare sight.
As this old man moved towards the gate, the two guards standing there immediately greeted him respectfully, bowing to him. This was the respect given to a sixth grade heavenly secret master. Even if this old man wasn't the heavenly secret master of the Divine Runic Masters Guild, this etiquette couldn't be ignored.
However, as Lin Ming walked over he was clearly not treated well. The two guards did not even glance at Lin Ming and let him in.
To take the exam, there are no strict requirements to apply. However, there was one thing: the materials needed to be prepared in advance by the examinees or purchased through the Divine Runic Masters Guild. Only when one successfully passed the examination would they be substituted for these materials. This was to prevent some heavenly secret apprentices from appearing and participating while no matter whether they graduated or not.
As Lin Ming walked into the hall, he traced his spatial ring. He had prepared five sets of materials today. Two for the first grade heavenly secret master examination and three for the second grade divine runic master examination.
Lin Ming wanted to raise his value as a heavenly secret master as soon as possible. This was because even if he obtained the Nine Stars section of the Dao Palace from the Celestial Impersonation Guidelines, he would still need a large amount of extremely rare and precious materials to refine his medicine. However, this rare and precious material was almost impossible to gather unless he was a high-level heavenly runic master!
When he arrived at the examination hall, 11-12 young men were already waiting there.
Lin Ming looked at the young girl he had run over at the gate. Moreover, he saw Yue Liuxing and Yue Qifeng, the brother and sister duo he had met when he first arrived at the inner Asura Road. They also entered the divine runic master examination this year.
"Eh? Lin Ming's! "
“It just so happened to meet you here. ”
It's not a coincidence as it seems. The last time he saw Yue Liuxing and Yue Qifeng, they were only divine runic apprentices and now was the perfect time for them to try the clairvoyant secret master examination.
“A long time ago. '' Lin Ming smiled in greeting.
"Lin Ming, what are you doing here?" Yue Liuxing asked, curious. He did not think that Lin Ming had come here to take the heavenly secret master examination with them.
As Lin Ming turned around, a strangely interested look covered his face.
The newly arrived examinee was also a young girl in her prime, She was wearing a blue robe and her hair was like a scarf running down her back. His entire body exuded a light and swift feeling.
However, what caused a strange expression to appear on Lin Ming's face was not the young girl but the master who followed behind him. This master was rather short and fat, with small and bright eyes. From his appearance, he resembled an extremely large and fat mouse. This was Old Man Xue whom Lin Ming had accidentally met in the Divine Runic Masters Guild a year ago.
This Old Man Xue had been tricked by Lin Ming. The emperor jade fragment had been sold to Lin Ming as if it were just a spirit treasure fragment. Even though he didn't see anything afterwards, Old Man Xue still thought he could fool Lin Ming once more and take him in as a disciple. In the end, he failed.
"This stingy old geezer is really going to accept an apprentice?" Lin Ming looked at the young and beautiful girl standing in front of Old Man Xue. Although he found it somewhat unbelievable, he was clearly his student. He felt that every single one of his students must be unlucky.
Old Man Xue smiled as he entered. After passing through the door, his eyes locked onto another high-level celestial secret master. This was the sixth grade heavenly secret master that Lin Ming saw at the entrance.
"Old Su, haha, to think I will see you here today!"
"Hehe, this is not something normal. But, let me give you a warning. I brought Clearshadow here today not to become a first-rate celestial secret master, but to take the test for a second-rate heavenly secret master! At that time, make sure you don't bully me, haha! ”
"Oh! How coincidental! I also brought my disciple Dreampearl here to take the second grade divine runic master test. “Old Sister Xue responded with sharp opposition. The young girl named Dreampearl in the back looked much simpler. He smiled and said, “Teacher, you think too much of me. I only have 30% confidence that I can successfully draw a second-rate heavenly inscription symbol. ”
30%!
Although Dreampearl spoke humbly, Old Su still felt his heart beating the moment he heard this. The examination of the divine runic master would last for about 10 hours, and during this time an examinee was allowed to try to create a divine runic symbol several times. Even if one failed once, they still had a second attempt and a third attempt. If he could guarantee a 30% chance of success then there was really a chance he could pass the examination.
Old Su could not help but glance at his own apprentice, Clearshadow. He could vaguely sense that Clearshadow did not have a 30% chance of success%.
“Don't worry, Master! Just because he said 30% doesn't mean 30%. I want to experience his skills myself! ”
Clearshadow was not overly anxious or panicked. Old Su nodded in satisfaction. But at this moment, Old Man Xue stopped. As soon as he passed the door he had a conflict with Old Su and paid no attention to the others in the room. But now that he glanced at others, he discovered there was someone he knew – Lin Ming, a little pig he wanted to slaughter for money but who managed to escape.
"Hey brat, you're here because ..." Looking at Lin Ming's posture as well as the heavenly secret pen in his hand, silly skin flashed across Old Man Xue's face. "Brat, don't tell me you're here to participate in the divine runic master examination!"
Lin Ming spread his hands, saying, "It's a bit regrettable, but. ”
"Haha!" Old Man Xue sincerely smiled, wagging his fat finger at Lin Ming. “You, you must be teasing me! Anyway, why don't you consider my previous advice and become my student? If your talent is too low and you are no match for the heavenly Secret Art then I would not think of accepting you to begin with. ”
Lin Ming helplessly shrugged and sighed, saying, "I really don't tease you. ”
Like this, Old Man Xue's laughter suddenly stopped. He looked at Lin Ming with the eyes of a stranger. He was well aware that a year ago, Lin Ming was just a stranger interested in the heavenly secret arts. Now, he wanted to take the heavenly secret master examination. It seems that this young man really likes to waste time.
Well, what's been done has been done. This was Lin Ming's materials and money to begin with so there was nothing he could do.
“Well, keep thinking about it. I think it's better if you're my intern. "Said Old Man Xue, give Lin Ming 'advice' once again.
Lin Ming replied, “The senior price for taking an apprentice is too high. This junior is truly incapable of enjoying such a luxury. ”
As Lin Ming spoke, he glanced at Dreampearl behind Old Man Xue. This young lady was obviously Old Man Xue's best apprentice, someone who might inherit his complete legacy in the future. Otherwise, there was no way someone like Old Man Xue would accompany him here for the divine runic master examination.
It was hard to tell what was so special about this young lady that someone so stingy as Old Man Xue would see it.
After listening to Lin Ming joke about Old Man Xue's tuition fee, Old Su laughed, “Old Xue, what do you want me to think about you? You would even cheat a little junior out of his money! ”
Old Su would naturally not let go of the opportunity to ridicule Old Man Xue. However, Old Man Xue's skin was thick enough for the two of them. Upon viewing, he said, “All items are charged. If I dare to issue such a price then I naturally have faith in my value. Well, if you don't believe me then you can come and study with me. I guarantee it will be much faster than you learn on your own. ”
Old Man Xue hit his chest with assurance. But, just as he was about to say something else, the door to the hall opened once again and another heroic young elite entered.
This person was a spiritas youth who seemed to be over 20 years old. He walked with big strides, like a tiger and a dragon. His eyes were bright, and no teacher was following behind him. He came here alone!
