197: Assessment

Old Third has already told me about this matter, but I can't just agree because you said so; after all, everyone in our academy must undergo an assessment!

Yu Gang said indifferently.

Then he looked at Chen Xuan, who was behind Dai Dabai, "You must be Chen Xuan, you are indeed a handsome man!"

Chen Xuan was truly handsome; almost everyone who saw him would say that.

"Junior Chen Xuan greets Great Master Jade!" Chen Xuan cupped his hands in greeting.

Great Master Jade sized Chen Xuan up and down, then nodded slightly: "Not bad. If what Little Dai said is true, you can indeed join our Monster Group. However, I need to ask you first, how much do you know about medical skills?"

"Junior once practiced medicine in the Lower Realm for many years and has some research into various medical skills," Chen Xuan replied.

"Since that's the case, follow me." Great Master Jade waved his hand and led Chen Xuan into the room.

The room was simply furnished but very tidy, with paintings of various Spiritual Plants and Medicinal Pills hanging on the walls, making one feel as if they were in a treasure trove of medicine.

Great Master Jade took out a piece of paper and handed it to Chen Xuan: "Here is a question. If you can answer it correctly, I can consider it!"

Chen Xuan took the paper and looked at it carefully, only to see written on it: "What is the function of a Spiritual Plant called 'Spirit Ginseng Grass'? And what Spiritual Plants can it be combined with for Alchemy? Please elaborate."

"Spirit Ginseng Grass, huh?" Chen Xuan smiled. He picked up the paper, examined it for a moment, and then began to answer:

"Spirit Ginseng Grass is considered a very rare Spiritual Plant. It possesses powerful vitality and can help people quickly recover physical strength, heal injuries, and for Cultivators, Spirit Ginseng Grass is an even more invaluable treasure."

Chen Xuan paused, then continued:

"As for what Spiritual Plants Spirit Ginseng Grass can be combined with for Alchemy, I think it should be paired with 'Jade Bamboo Flower.' These two Spiritual Plants complement each other, and with the addition of some other medicinal materials, they can refine a Medicinal Pill called 'Jade Bamboo Pill.' After consumption, it can quickly heal internal hidden injuries and also partially restore Spiritual Qi. For Cultivators, this is an invaluable healing treasure medicine."

"Hmm, not bad. You explained it very thoroughly. You answered this question correctly!" Great Master Jade nodded with satisfaction, a hint of admiration in his eyes as he looked at Chen Xuan. "I didn't expect you to be so proficient in medical skills at such a young age. It's truly rare."

"Thank you for the praise, Great Master Jade. Junior only has a superficial understanding," Chen Xuan said humbly.

"Then, can you refine this Jade Bamboo Pill?"

"Naturally, I can. This is my forte! As long as I have Spirit Medicine, I can refine it on the spot!"

"Good! Seeing how confident you are, I believe you have the ability! There's no need for on-the-spot refining. I'll test you on a few other areas of knowledge!"

After speaking, Yu Gang posed several more questions, and Chen Xuan answered them all fluently. Except for some medicinal materials that didn't exist in the Mountain and Sea Realm, which he couldn't name, he passed all the remaining questions with a perfect score.

After all, his current identity was merely someone from the Mountain and Sea Realm, and his knowledge reserves couldn't possibly transcend worlds for learning.

"Not bad, not bad, truly a talent! The things you couldn't answer before were because they simply don't exist in the Mountain and Sea Realm, so it's not your fault. When the time comes, I will give you some medical books from the Cultivation World to read! I believe your accumulated knowledge will reach another level!"

"Thank you, Great Master!"

"Not at all, not at all. You were merely hindered by the shortcomings of the world, which is not your fault. Besides, these medical books are not considered valuable items!"

"Since you have passed my test, theoretically, you can join our Monster Group. However, a team battle in the academy can have a maximum of 7 people, no more. I still need to report to the Dean."

"Yes, Junior understands!" Chen Xuan nodded. He really didn't want to join any... even their academy's clothes were ugly. Why join that Monster Group for no reason!

"Chen Xuan, there's nothing else. You can go back first. The teacher and I still have things to discuss!"

"No problem."

With that, Chen Xuan left the scene.

After confirming Chen Xuan's departure, Great Master Jade looked at Dai Dabai, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Little Dai, how are things in the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

"This matter is a long story..." Dai Dabai explained again.

"Such a thing happened?! But this matter can't be blamed on you. If I had gone, I might have been beaten to death!" Yu Gang comforted him.

"Hmph, Teacher, you don't know, this person, not only did he not wait for me, but when I encountered danger, he actually just abandoned me and ran away! Do you think he's a trustworthy teammate? Who would dare to confidently entrust their back to someone like him?" Zhu Zhu directly complained.

"Hmm? Little Dai, is this true?"

Yu Gang frowned upon hearing this, while Tang Sirui gloated.

In his eyes, Zhu Zhu was considered to be on Dai Dabai's side, but now... he himself pushed people's hearts towards him!

"I... this!" Dai Dabai was speechless.

Yu Gang's face sank upon hearing this. This Dai Dabai actually dared to do such an unrighteous thing. Fortunately, only their internal people knew about this kind of thing; otherwise, the reputation of his Monster Group would be ruined!

"Little Dai, come here and kneel before Zhu Zhu! Apologize!" Yu Gang said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Dai Dabai knew things were bad and quickly knelt on the ground, looking at Zhu Zhu and pleading, "Zhu Zhu, I... I know I was wrong!"

However, in his heart, he hated Zhu Zhu to the extreme.

'You wretched woman, I'm not the Crown Prince yet. But when I truly become the Crown Prince, the moment I ascend the throne will be the time when you... wish you were dead!'

"Just knowing you're wrong is enough? What if I had died this time? Is an apology all it takes?" Zhu Zhu was very disdainful, but looking at Dai Dabai kneeling on the ground, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Alright, alright, aren't you fine now? Later, I'll have Little Dai compensate you with some treasures. Forgive him this time! Just don't let it happen again!" Yu Gang advised.

"Yes, I think Boss Dai might have indeed encountered someone very strong. I suppose he already tried his best to resolve it, and although he didn't fully resolve it, he did his best. Zhu Zhu, just trust him one more time!" Tang Sirui also advised, but still disparaged Dai Dabai.

"Yes, Zhu Zhu, I promise, such a thing will never happen again!" Dai Dabai quickly said.

"Little Dai, you remember this: you are a member of my Monster Group, and your actions concern the reputation of the Monster Group! Your actions have shamed my Monster Group! If you commit this again, you will not be worthy of being a member of the Monster Group!"

"Thank you, Teacher, thank you, Teacher. I will certainly mend my ways and never do such a thing again!" Dai Dabai quickly said.
