190: Chapter 190 The Rules of the Grand Tutor Level Examination!

President Yun Xi's words.

Appearing suddenly today and pointing directly at the Grand Tutor Level, those words were like a depth charge dropped into the minds of several giants, stirring up endless waves.

Not nurtured by the Guild!

Breaking through three grades in a single day!

A clear goal, aiming straight for the Grand Tutor Level!

Combining these points gave them a strong signal.

Everything this mysterious youth named Dong Xuan did today seemed to be for the sake of the Grand Tutor Level Assessment!

Could this be a premeditated action with a clear goal, rather than a reckless act of impulse?

This realization.

Caused countless thoughts to flash through the minds of several big shots on the hanging platform, and their guesses about Jiang Yun's identity became increasingly blurred.

Not someone from the Guild.

Yet possessing such Heaven-Defying appraisal talent.

And acting in such a high-profile manner... "Could he be a core disciple of some hidden appraisal Family, out in the world for experience?"

War Beast Sect Leader Shi Potian speculated secretly.

"Or a crossing-river dragon from another province, wanting to use this to make a name for himself?"

Feng Family Head Feng Xiao's gaze was deep.

"This youth is shrouded in mist; what secrets are hidden beneath that mask?"

Sky Dome Academy Vice Principal Ming Jing stroked his beard and pondered.

No matter how they speculated.

A consensus had already been reached.

No matter Dong Xuan's background, they must try their best to befriend him, or at least not offend him!

To have such achievements at such an age, the power or Opportunity that might be involved behind him was definitely not ordinary.

Even if he failed the Grand Tutor Level Assessment today, his status as a sixteen years old High-Grade Appraiser alone made him worth investing in heavily.

If... if he really succeeded... that would be something enough to shake the entire S Province.

It would even be a major event that attracts attention from a much wider region!

At that time, whoever could be the first to establish a good relationship with him might occupy a huge advantage in the future!

Of course.

Before deciding how to invest resources.

They still needed to observe carefully.

Test him thoroughly to find out his background and Heart-Nature.

Facing the stormy discussions throughout the venue caused by his age.

Jiang Yun, in the center of the field, remained like an ancient well, calm and unruffled.

His black robes hung still, and the mask concealed all his expressions; only his upright posture revealed a composure and indifference that did not match his age, as if all the surrounding noise had nothing to do with him.

Elder Mo Yuan saw that the atmosphere was sufficiently built up.

He no longer delayed, using his Mental Energy.

His voice spread throughout the venue.

"Alright!"

"The assessment items will be presented immediately!"

As his voice fell.

The lotus-shaped holding platforms at the tops of those eleven silver pillars, several meters high, suddenly lit up with brilliant light!

Buzz—!

Beams of light of various colors, yet all containing surging energy and obscure Law fluctuations, soared into the sky from each pillar!

Within the light beams, items of various forms, emitting ancient, primitive, or divine auras, slowly solidified and appeared on the lotus platforms!

On the first pillar.

Floated a broken dark-gold stone tablet; the inscriptions were blurred, yet the sounds of Dragon cries and Phoenix songs could faintly be heard, and the surrounding space slightly distorted because of its presence.

On the second pillar.

Was a section of charred dead wood, seemingly devoid of life, but Entwine with strands of destructive energy like black lightning, emitting a heart-palpitating sense of deathly stillness.

On the third pillar.

A seven-colored gemstone like an eye rotated quietly, refracting a blurry and dreamlike luster; if one stared for too long, they would even have the illusion that their Divine Soul was being sucked in.

On the fourth pillar.

Was a rusty but internally sharp broken sword; the blade was stained with dark red blood, as if telling of the tragedy of an ancient battlefield, the sharp Sword Intent making one's skin sting.

On the fifth pillar.

A mass of liquid metal that constantly changed shape and had no fixed color flowed slowly, sometimes as smooth as water, sometimes as indestructible as a diamond... the sixth... the seventh... eleven items.

Without exception, all emitted an incomparably powerful aura and profound Law power!

The moment they appeared.

The air in the entire Wanjian Heavenly Altar seemed to freeze.

An invisible pressure spread out.

Making many weaker observers feel short of breath!

"My god! What... what level of treasures are these?!"

"What a terrifying aura! I feel like my tamed beasts are trembling!"

"The Appraisers Guild truly has a deep foundation! They actually brought out so many items that could be called guild-treasures as exam questions!"

"Every single one looks like it came out of a myth or Legendary! What a grand gesture!"

Exclamations and praise rose one after another.

Even those well-informed Family representatives and the big shots on the hanging platform couldn't help but have a flash of solemnity in their eyes when they saw these eleven items.

These things were indeed not ordinary; any one of them leaked out would be enough to make people envious.

But here.

No one dared to have any greedy thoughts.

Jiang Yun's eyes flickered slightly.

The ability of the Manifestation of All Things Entries was already operating quietly as his gaze quickly swept over these eleven items.

Even with his Heart-Nature.

At this moment, his face under the mask couldn't help but change slightly.

The Law light swirling around these items was so thick it almost became substantive; their grades, at the lowest, reached the Eclipsing Moon Rank, and there were even a few where even his data entries information appeared somewhat blurred, requiring deeper Mental Energy investigation to fully manifest, their level was likely... even higher!

Just then.

Elder Mo Yuan's solemn voice rang out again.

Suppressing the noise of the whole venue.

He clearly explained the assessment rules.

"Everyone, these eleven items are the questions for this Grand Tutor Level Assessment!"

"They were all collected by our Appraisers Guild with countless efforts; though years have passed, they have yet... to be fully appraised of all their mysteries!"

The Elder's voice carried immense solemnity.

"It can be said that every piece touches the limit of a High-Grade Appraiser's appraisal ability! Even for us Grand Tutor Level Appraisers, trying to thoroughly analyze them is a huge challenge, requiring a long time and much effort!"

He looked at Jiang Yun in the field.

And said word by word.

"The examinee must choose one from these eleven items!"

"Then, the following steps must be completed to pass the assessment:

First, Appraisal! One must completely state the accurate name, core material, historical origin and background, the types and characteristics of the Law contained within, as well as its potential effects or abilities!

Second, Traceability! One must analyze its historical traces and speculate on its past experiences or ownership.

Third, Practical Operation! Based on the appraised information, one must personally attempt and successfully activate one core ability or special effect of this item! Furthermore, the activated effect must completely match the ability stated in the previous appraisal report!"

"With all three items completed, information accurate and complete, and practical operation successfully verified, the President, Vice President, and all Grand Tutor Level colleagues present will jointly deliberate; only after approval will the Grand Tutor Level Assessment be passed!"

"The time limit is three days to complete the assessment!"

After the rules were announced.

The entire Wanjian Heavenly Altar first fell into a dead silence.

Then, like a volcanic eruption, a thunderous uproar broke out!

Those Common audience members who were not Appraisers, although they didn't have a clear concept of the specific difficulty, just hearing these extremely tedious and perversely strict steps was enough to make their scalps tingle!

"My goodness! Just hearing it feels as difficult as reaching the heavens!"

"You have to know the name and origin, understand the Law abilities, and even be able to actually operate it? Is... is this really an assessment? It sounds confusing!"

And those who were Appraisers themselves.

Especially those with high grades, their reactions were even more intense; many people stood up in shock, their faces filled with horror and disbelief!

"Hell! This is definitely Hell difficulty!"

A Medium Grade Rank Three Appraiser's face turned pale.

His voice trembled.

"Not only must you know what it is, but you must also know why it is so, and even how to use it! This assesses an Appraiser's ultimate comprehensive quality—knowledge reserve, Law perception, historical deduction, and practical verification! Not a single one can be missing!"

"Too terrifying! Even many High Grade Rank Three Seniors, and even the Guild Elders, are helpless against these things; he, a sixteen years old youth..."

"It's over; I originally held a sliver of fantasy, but now it seems absolutely impossible!"

"Exactly! Even if he is a Genius, it's absolutely impossible to pass! This is clearly an impossible task!"

"I think today, he is destined to fail here and become the background that highlights the difficulty of the Grand Tutor assessment."

"It's a pity for such a Prodigy talent; if he settled for a few decades, maybe there would be a chance..."

Doubt, regret, and even some schadenfreude-filled discussions almost overturned the Wanjian Heavenly Altar.

Everyone believed.

In the face of these God-Domain Grade exam questions.

Jiang Yun, this newly risen star.

Even with his God-given talent.

Would surely lose his luster.

In the field.

Elder Mo Yuan took a deep look at Jiang Yun.

Suppressing all expectations and worries in his heart.

"Candidate Dong Xuan, the rules are clear, and the questions have appeared. The remaining time is yours!"

After saying that.

He no longer stayed, turning to walk down from the central assessment area, leaving the stage surrounded by eleven unknown wonders emitting terrifying auras entirely to that solitary black-robed figure.

And at this very moment.

Representatives of various families in the special observation area,

The giants of major forces floating in the sky,

And the tens of thousands of various spectators on the periphery... everyone's gaze, thousands of lines of sight, carrying curiosity, scrutiny, doubt, expectation, and even a hint of pity, like substance, focused simultaneously and without reservation on the only black-robed figure in the center of the field!

Wanjian Heavenly Altar, winds and clouds surging.

The focus converged.

Only waiting for him... to see how he would respond to this Hell-level trial that could be called a desperate situation!
