184: Chapter 184 The Grand Tutor-Level Examination Hall Opens!

Second Elder Qing Xuan felt the faint trace of suppressed anger in Vice President Lin Yan's voice and couldn't help but feel tense, yet he completely understood.

Anyone hearing the news of a sixteen years old youth taking the Grand Tutor Level Assessment for the first time would likely react with absurdity and doubt.

He immediately bowed.

He guaranteed with an incredibly solemn tone.

"Vice President, please calm your anger! This subordinate guarantees with my life that there isn't a single false word! That Dong Xuan is truly and surely an extremely young youth. Although a black robe and mask cover him, judging by his physique and bone age, he is definitely no older than sixteen or seventeen!"

Fearing the two presidents wouldn't believe him.

He didn't dare pause for a moment, hurriedly recounting the series of shocks Jiang Yun had caused within the Assessment Tower, pouring out the details as quickly and clearly as beans from a bamboo tube.

"This boy first appeared today in our first-floor Low Grade assessment area. In just ten minutes, he perfectly passed the identification and value assessment of a hundred items without a single error!"

"Then, he publicly declared his intent to go straight for the Grand Tutor Level, shocking everyone present! After entering the fourth-floor Medium Grade assessment area, he selected his exam questions from dozens of items in seconds. He took only half a minute to dictate his appraisal report. Its detailed content and profound insights actually triggered the assessment Formation, resulting in a transcendent cognitive evaluation of one hundred and fifty points!"

"Immediately after, without stopping, he went straight to the seventh-floor High Grade assessment area. Facing the hundred thousand objects in the Myriad Forms Law Forest, he... he actually acted as if he were taking a leisurely stroll, declaring his observation complete in less than half an hour. Then he took up his pen to answer, completing the appraisal of a hundred random items within twenty minutes. The result... the result was one hundred percent correct, a perfect pass!"

Elder Qing Xuan's voice carried an irrepressible excitement.

It was as if he were the candidate taking these assessments himself.

"President, Vice President! This boy has come all the way from Low Grade to High Grade with unstoppable momentum. His speed and Heaven-Defying results are simply unheard of and never before seen! Now, he is in the Assessment Tower, waiting to undergo the Grand Tutor Level Assessment!"

Even with President Yun Xi and Vice President Lin Yan's nearly a century of experience and composure, after hearing this fairy-tale-like narration, their faces could no longer maintain calmness, replaced by intense shock and disbelief!

Passing the Low, Medium, and High Grade assessments in seconds!

At only sixteen years old!

Aiming straight for the Grand Tutor Level!

Any one of these pieces of information alone would be enough to draw attention, but when they all converged on a single person, the impact was devastating!

The two of them were deeply shaken.

For a moment, they didn't even know how to evaluate it.

The anger on Vice President Lin Yan's face had long since vanished, replaced by extreme excitement and fervor. He slapped his thigh hard, his voice booming.

"A Genius! No, a Prodigy! A peerless Prodigy! If our Appraisers Guild can obtain this boy, why worry about not growing strong? In time, making a name for ourselves in the Central Continent will be just around the corner!"

He seemed to already see the glorious future of the guild under this boy's lead.

However.

After the initial shock, President Yun Xi's eyes, deep as a sea of stars, narrowed slightly, revealing a light of scrutiny and reflection.

"This matter... is probably not that simple."

He spoke slowly, his voice returning to its usual gentleness but carrying a hint of gravity.

"Such a world-shaking talent, why was he unknown before, as if appearing out of thin air? He chose to make a high-profile appearance now and aim straight for the Grand Tutor Level. Is there some deep meaning behind it? Or rather, are there some potential hidden dangers we haven't noticed yet?"

Hearing this, Vice President Lin Yan...

...subsided his excitement slightly and nodded.

"The President's concerns are very valid. For such a Prodigy, his background must be clear. So, how should we respond now?"

President Yun Xi pondered for a moment.

Then he made a decision.

"The Grand Tutor Level Assessment will proceed as usual. This is a guild regulation and cannot be changed. At the same time, immediately arrange for reliable personnel to secretly investigate this Dong Xuan's background. Be absolutely cautious and do not alert him."

His eyes flickered as he continued, "Perhaps during the assessment, you and I can also appear in person. Under the guise of presiding over the assessment, we can observe him closely. After the assessment, whether he passes or not, we can also test him a bit. If he truly is a disciple of some hidden great figure or related to some transcendent power, we will treat him with courtesy and do our best to befriend him. If his background is clean and his origins are pure..."

An unprecedented glint erupted in President Yun Xi's eyes.

"Then our Appraisers Guild will recruit him at any cost, pouring in all our resources and cultivating him with care! This boy could become the cornerstone of our guild for the next hundred years!"

"Good! We'll do as the President says!"

Vice President Lin Yan nodded heavily, in total agreement.

Immediately after.

President Yun Xi instructed the respectfully waiting Qing Xuan, "Elder Qing Xuan, once the Grand Tutor Level Assessment begins, it will surely stir up the winds and clouds in the Provincial City, and all factions will be watching. Return to the Assessment Tower immediately and begin preparations for opening the Grand Tutor Level Assessment venue! Vice President Lin Yan and I will make some arrangements and follow shortly!"

"This subordinate obeys!"

Elder Qing Xuan felt greatly relieved. He hurriedly cupped his hands, turned, and once again summoned his flying mount, turning into a streak of light as he rushed back to the Assessment Tower.

Watching Qing Xuan's departing figure...

...Vice President Lin Yan stroked his beard and sighed.

"I wonder what this boy's origins are and what his goal is! But no matter what, later we must find a way to tie him firmly to our Appraisers Guild! We absolutely cannot let the guys from the War Beast Sect, Feng Family, Qian Family, or Sky Dome Academy find an opening to snatch away such a once-in-a-ten-thousand-years Prodigy!"

President Yun Xi nodded slightly, his gaze distant.

"Indeed. Even if he ultimately fails to pass the Grand Tutor Level Assessment, his status as a sixteen years old High-Grade Appraiser alone is enough to cause huge waves in the Provincial City and attract competition from all sides. A high-rank Appraiser is a strategic resource for any power, meaning they hold an Innate advantage in the identification and acquisition of high-quality royal beasts and rare resources."

"It can be said to strengthen one's foundation!"

He added with a firm tone, "Although our Appraisers Guild remains neutral and does not participate in the power struggles of the Provincial City, we must be the first to contact this person and do our best to win him over!"

Vice President Lin Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He fully agreed with the President's arrangements and views... Meanwhile.

Second Elder Qing Xuan had quickly returned to the Assessment Tower.

He hovered in mid-air.

His voice, infused with powerful Mental Energy, spread clearly throughout the Assessment Tower and the surrounding area.

"Everyone! Listen up!"

The noisy crowd instantly fell silent. Countless gazes focused on him.

"By the order of the President and Vice President, our Appraisers Guild's Assessment Tower is about to open the Grand Tutor Level Assessment venue!"

"Buzz—!"

The crowd instantly erupted in a massive uproar and cheering!

"It's happening! It's really happening!"

"Heavens! A once-in-a-century Grand Tutor Level Assessment, to be able to see it with my own eyes today!"

"I knew it! Great Master Dong Xuan can definitely do it!"

"The Grand Tutor Level Assessment venue! I heard the scene is incredibly grand and spectacular!"

Elder Qing Xuan pressed his hands down in the air and continued, "Next, I need everyone's cooperation! All personnel, please evacuate the Assessment Tower immediately and in an orderly manner! When the Grand Tutor Level Assessment venue opens, the entire Assessment Tower will undergo a massive change. To ensure everyone's safety, the area must be cleared!"

Upon hearing this...

...although curious and excited...

...they also understood the gravity of the matter and actively cooperated.

The flow of people began to surge outward like a tide.

Everyone's face was filled with excitement and anticipation.

However, some were also very confused.

"A massive change? Could it be that this Grand Tutor Level Assessment venue isn't inside the building?"

"Definitely! Think about it, how noble is a Grand Tutor Level Appraiser? During the assessment, top experts from various major powers in the Provincial City will surely come to watch. Could such a scene be small? The Assessment Tower probably can't hold it!"

"So that's it! Coming today was really the right choice, to be able to witness such a grand event!"

Soon.

Under the coordination of many stewards...

...the crowd inside and outside the Assessment Tower was quickly evacuated to the outer safety zone.

Grand Elder Mo Yuan, Second Elder Qing Xuan, and Steward Wang also accompanied Jiang Yun as they slowly walked out of the Assessment Tower with the crowd.

Standing on the open ground outside the building.

Jiang Yun looked at the towering building before him.

He couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled as well.

"Two Elders, isn't the tenth floor of this Assessment Tower the corresponding Grand Tutor Level Assessment venue? Why is it necessary to evacuate everyone?"

Mo Yuan and Qing Xuan looked at each other and smiled.

Mo Yuan explained, "Little friend Dong Xuan might not know. A Grand Tutor Level Appraiser holds a transcendent status. Their assessment is a major event in our province's appraisal world. At that time, not only will many experts come to watch, wishing to catch a glimpse of the new Grand Tutor's style, but also..."

At this point, Elder Mo Yuan paused slightly and gave Jiang Yun a meaningful look.

Jiang Yun understood and finished the sentence, "And it's also the best time for various factions to recruit the new Grand Tutor, right?"

A hint of awkwardness flashed in the two Elders' eyes.

They silently acknowledged his statement.

Elder Qing Xuan took over the conversation.

Pointing at the Assessment Tower, he said, "As for why we need to clear the area... Little friend Dong Xuan, please watch, you'll understand in a moment!"

As his voice fell...

...Grand Elder Mo Yuan's expression turned solemn. With a flip of his hand, a jade plaque, crystal clear and engraved with countless complex and mysterious spatial runes, appeared in his palm.

Jiang Yun's gaze narrowed slightly.

He subconsciously used Manifestation of All Things Entries.

【Void Formation Key】

【Grade】：Eclipsing Moon Rank

【Status】：Energy Full

【Effect】：Can trigger and control the bound Thousand-Mechanism Ever-Changing Assessment Field for spatial reorganization and morphological transformation.

【Core Formation】：Large-Scale Composite Space-Folding Formation】

"A spatial Formation?"

Jiang Yun was slightly surprised.

He already understood the uniqueness of this tenth-floor assessment venue.

Just as his thoughts were racing...

...Elder Mo Yuan had already injected his majestic Mental Energy into the jade plaque in his hand!

"Buzz—!"

The jade plaque suddenly erupted with a dazzling light. Countless silver spatial runes seemed to come to life, soaring into the sky and spreading rapidly, instantly enveloping the entire Assessment Tower!

Immediately after.

A shocking scene occurred!

Under the action of that vast spatial power, the twelve-story Assessment Tower—except for the tenth floor, which remained steady and emitted a hazy glow...

...the other floors...

...from the first to the ninth floor, as well as the eleventh and twelfth floors, actually began to decompose and detach like building blocks. Then, amidst a strong spatial fluctuation, they slowly sank into the ground and vanished!

In their place.

Only the isolated tenth floor remained, like a floating pavilion in the air.

And that wasn't all!

In the distance.

Deep within the guild.

Several mountain peaks that were originally floating quietly now seemed to receive a summons. They shook violently and then turned into several streaks of light, streaking through the air!

These floating peaks used the isolated tenth floor as their core, like stars surrounding the moon, and began to piece together, combine, and extend around it!

Rocks grew, the platform widened, and amidst the flickering runes, a massive floating platform several hundred meters in diameter—as magnificent as an ancient coliseum—quickly took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye!

At the edge of the platform.

Runes condensed into rows of viewing seats, clearly layered and emitting a majestic Aura.

At the core, the isolated tenth floor became the focus of this new platform. Its doors were wide open, its interior deep and mysterious, awaiting the entry of the challenger.

Jiang Yun looked up at this god-like scene. Even with his Heart-Nature, a trace of amazement couldn't help but flash through his eyes.

Such means of changing the world and creating something out of the Void Realm...

...were truly spectacular!

Elder Mo Yuan put away the jade plaque. Looking at the magnificent floating platform before him, he smiled slightly at Jiang Yun, his tone carrying a hint of pride.

"This is the highest-specification assessment venue of our Appraisers Guild!"

"The Grand Tutor Level Assessment venue, the Wanjian Heavenly Altar!"
