Chapter 64: Revitalizing the Cultivation World (District Reorganization) - 64% Complete

Jun Huilian stood outside the assessment area, occasionally writing something in his notebook.

Jun Feibai stood beside her, the little Pixiu with a solemn expression, giving people a very reliable feeling.

Those inside the barrier could not hear their conversation.

Jun Feibai's mind stirred slightly: "Success or failure hinges on this."

Jun Huilian looked up and glanced at him: "You think highly of Helian Yi?"

“Of course, from any perspective, no one here can defeat him.” Jun Feibai’s fingers swept across the barriers, pausing briefly on Su Qinghuan, Shen Suxi, Jiang Yun, and Xiao Tingyuan.

"You've been so busy the whole time, you haven't had a chance to observe the mission participants at all. How can you be so sure?" Jun Huilian asked curiously.

The arrogant little Pixiu always kept to himself and didn't care about anything that didn't concern him. He spent most of his time digging into Fang Tieyan's memories and watching TV series and anime, so he didn't have the extra energy to observe the progress of the mission takers.

Jun Feibai's expression was somewhat unfocused: "When we opened the market, your first reaction was to look at Helian Yi."

This shows that Jun Huilian originally favored this person the most.

Then he preemptively chose to bet on Helian Yi.

Jun Huilian smiled enigmatically, a hint of teasing in his eyes: "No wonder you were willing to let me pick five to bet on."

"Go Helian Yi, one against five!" Jun Feibai quickly straightened his back and said with great enthusiasm.

"Stop cheering him on, cheer yourself on too." Jun Huilian stopped writing, closed the notebook, and casually slapped it into Jun Feibai's arms, gesturing for him to take it.

Jun Feibai hurriedly picked up the book, frowned as he opened it, and then quickly closed it again.

He took a deep breath before saying dejectedly, "I even suspended the 'Your Majesty's concubine's plan to report Consort Xi's affair for your sake, and you still want to enslave me."

That notebook contained a personalized learning plan for each participant, with no two plans being the same.

Jun Huilian is busy overseeing the teaching of all students, so the task of providing targeted guidance can only be left to him.

Jun Huilian was silent for a moment: "...If I had known, I wouldn't have copied the TV series from Fang Tieyan's memory."

Jun Feibai's eyes curved into a smile: "I knew you could do that too. The system shop is making a killing this time."

High-priced, limited-edition items sell out in seconds, and even on the secondary market, people still buy them out of curiosity, leading to a significant increase in commission rates.

"Okay, you guessed right." Jun Huilian glanced at the busy examinees and casually asked, "Where's your online friend?"

Jun Feibai pointed in a certain direction: "Look, he went to the Beast Taming Zone."

"Isn't he a merman? Have mermen been taught how to tame beasts?" Jun Huilian saw Shui Fan standing in the crowd, arms crossed and looking aloof.

Shui Fan lazily raised one hand and effortlessly subdued a berserk mid-level spirit beast. After staring at it for three breaths, the beast stiffened and lay down, becoming incredibly docile.

His spiritual power also oppressed another spirit beast, which trembled and moved to his feet, bowing its head in submission.

The beast that was covered up happened to be the one that someone next to him had just tamed with great difficulty, which made the beast tamer who was closest to him so angry that he was about to curse.

But when he met Shui Fan's aloof and elegant expression, he became deflated.

"Why are you standing so close to me? I can't control the range of my pressure." Shui Fan glanced at him sideways and spoke first.

The beast tamer glared angrily.

He's the one who falsely accused me! Don't think you're so great just because you're good-looking and capable!

It's really amazing!

The beast tamer quickly composed himself.

I recognized him by his eyes; he's someone I don't want to mess with (?).

Just by looking at the blue eyes, blue hair, and eerie face, you could tell that the other person was not an ordinary human. Moreover, the Beast Taming Zone competition had explicit rules: the number of spirit beasts was limited and could override the taming achievements of others. The rules encouraged candidates to compete for their own interests. He was unlucky enough to be standing next to a powerful figure who was not to be trifled with.

The beast tamer had no choice but to slink away in tears, deciding to find a new spot away from the wicked fellow who might "accidentally" tame someone else's tamed spirit beast again.

Shui Fan casually grabbed another high-level spirit beast. This time, he put away his lazy and arrogant expression and became more serious.

The beast tamers nearby tacitly moved away from him.

Who knows if his coverage area will increase again if he puts in serious effort?

Unbeknownst to him, a vacuum zone was formed centered on the little mermaid, and this vacuum circle would move as he moved to catch spirit beasts.

Shui Fan's posture made Jun Huilian feel a sense of familiarity, and he couldn't help but fantasize about a certain Pixiu.

No wonder these two "people" can chat so enthusiastically on the intranet, treating each other as brothers from different fathers, mothers, races, and ethnicities. They clearly have a lot in common and are very similar in some ways.

Jun Feibai crossed his arms proudly, showing his pride in his new friend: "Mermaids belong to the demon race, so of course they wouldn't specifically learn beast taming. However, pure-blooded demons naturally possess an aura of power, making them quite suitable for learning this skill, whether they want to or not. As for Huo Xiaojian, he doesn't like going out. After coming ashore, he got used to using low-level demon beasts to go out and buy things for him, and gradually discovered his talent in this area. The ocean is his most comfortable territory. He doesn't like fighting on land, so he simply chose the beast taming area."

Jun Huilian asked curiously, "Since you know his real name, why do you still call him by his online name?"

Jun Feibai scratched his head: "Hmm, it feels weird for virtual friends to call me by my real name."

Jun Huilian observed for a while and pointed out the problem: "He has outstanding talent, but his temporary learning of beast taming is really terrible. Add a note to the notebook and supervise him later."

"I guarantee I'll complete the task. I'll recommend the 'Eighteen Beast Taming Palms,' 'The Dark Beast Taming Palm,' and 'Nine Yin Beast Taming Palm' from the library to Huo Xiaojian later." That was his friend, and Jun Feibai rarely agreed so readily.

Jun Huilian: "...Don't be so violent. At least get him a few books on how to feed spirit beasts long-term after taming them."

Jun Feibai asked in surprise, "Isn't this skill about beast taming? Do you really need to raise them?"

Jun Huilian was even more surprised: "Otherwise, where would the spirit beasts come from for the beast tamers to command?"

Jun Feibai fell into deep thought: "Aren't we supposed to tame them on the spot when we need to use them? Do we have to spend spirit stones and resources to raise them?"

"Of course we have to raise them. Whether it's a life-bound contract or a regular contract, we have to be responsible for each other. Beast tamers will raise their spirit beasts to become stronger and stronger, so that they can become partners who fight side by side, just like you and me."

Jun Huilian then realized that the demon and beast races, without having been exposed to "beast taming," were likely to have incorrect perceptions due to preconceived notions based on their habits.

“The merman has never been exposed to beast taming before, just like you. You didn’t transmit the wrong knowledge to him, did you?”

“Ah, I thought what we called was an engagement.” Jun Feibai paused for a moment, then hesitated, “It’s still not too late to correct him now.”

Jun Huilian sighed and said, "Then let the little system do it. This upgrade just happened to load a lot of professional knowledge into them."

"Then I'll go call them." Jun Feibai realized his mistake and tried to salvage the situation.

He disappeared from the spot and went to the System Academy on the other side of the island.

Jun Huilian was left speechless, both amused and exasperated.

Having finished planning for the task, she thought it was time to check out the other candidates.

We had planned in advance to tailor a learning direction recommendation plan for each enrolled student, so that they could avoid some detours as much as possible.

In the end, 3,000 people were selected. Now that the assessment has been conducted, she has a pretty good idea of ​​who will definitely pass the assessment.

To lighten her burden later, she needs to start writing now.

"This Qi Tian is something else. He inherited talent, but his temperament is completely unlike his grandfather's..."

Jun Huilian mentally convened a small roundtable meeting, spreading out the documents for discussion.

[Rong Ling: Not bad, he'd be suitable to learn swordsmanship from me. Remember to remind him to try and take my class when he chooses electives.]

[Lin Ming: Your classes are hard to get into, there are too many sword cultivators.]

[Rong Ling: If he can't even get one of the hundred spots, he might as well give up on his sword with that kind of hand speed.]

[Feng Wujue: There are also sword cultivators in the illusory image of the inheritance from A Lian. It should be okay if someone shares the burden.]

[Guiyi: Not necessarily. The one who carries on the legacy is a noisy old man. Have you forgotten why you rejected his legacy in the first place?]

[Feng Wujue: That makes sense, let's see who's fastest!]

When Jun returned to the meeting, he seemed to be in a daze, and in this tense and exciting assessment, some people really were in a daze.

Su Xiaoyao used the scraps from refining to make herself a chair, sat there with her legs crossed, and fanned the pot of medicine with her newly acquired sacred-grade fan.

Along with her, the pot of medicine was also bubbling away in a stale manner.

"Brother Guo, you shouldn't set it up like that," Su Xiaoyao said.

The pot of medicine was bubbling more frequently.

Now, even without the system, she can communicate freely with the potion pot.

Su Xiaoyao retorted righteously and sternly: "You can't just get by because the regional assessment doesn't look at scores and rankings. Look at the other pots, oh no, look at the other tripods, how hard they work and how much they cooperate. You're already a step behind the tripods in appearance..."

A few drops of molten iron splashed out of the medicine pot.

"Hey, hey, hey." Su Xiaoyao's attempt to manipulate him failed, and she quickly pulled her skirt away from it, saying, "This skirt is very expensive, you know."

To outsiders, it seemed as if she was talking to herself.

"If you have five inferior mid-grade spiritual artifacts or three superior mid-grade spiritual artifacts, the first half of the time taken will be used. If you can refine a higher-grade spiritual artifact, you will pass directly regardless of the time taken. Since that's the case, why don't you just get a better one? We can keep the things we refine for ourselves."

"I'm not just talking without understanding the situation; I'm sitting down."

"I'm just sitting here relaxed on the surface, but in my heart I'm working hard and striving for progress."

"I gave you a chance to demonstrate your skills by having you refine weapons in full-automatic mode. If I really started refining them, wouldn't you be no different from any other cauldron?"

"How can this be called sophistry? Brother Guo, your language skills are lacking. Spit out a top-grade spiritual artifact as tuition, and I'll teach you the art of language."

"No, how can this be called freeloading? See, your Chinese language skills are really bad."

"No, no, no, I was wrong. Don't try to get away with this. If you want to get away with this, then go ahead, my good brother."

While she was arguing, a loud bang came from afar.

Looking up in the direction of the sound, she saw a figure slowly emerging from the swirling smoke.

Unlike Qi Tian, ​​who was also exhausted and seriously injured after fighting his way out of the martial arts world, Helian Yi walked steadily, and his magnificent robe remained spotless and untouched by dust.

He smiled slightly, his expression serene. Even though he was the first to pass the test, he remained calm and composed, displaying the poise and maturity befitting someone from a distinguished family.

"Pretending to be Dead".

Su Xiaoyao rolled her eyes.

The medicine pot seemed to exhale two bubbles.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, Helian Yi peered straight at her through the crowd, raising an eyebrow in a defiant manner.

"What can I do if this guy doesn't provoke me? I have a short temper." Su Xiaoyao put away her fan and used it to cool herself down. "I really don't like him."

The medicine pot was bubbling and spewing bubbles.

"Should we give it a shot and steal his thunder?" she squinted.

The medicine pot hesitated and began to bubble.

[Go! I support Xiao Yao's move!]

A familiar voice suddenly reached my ears.

Su Xiaoyao was first taken aback, then overjoyed.

"My darling! You're back!"

[It's me! It's me! Xiao Yao, we're back from our work report!]

996 said cheerfully.

Su Xiaoyao instantly perked up, stopped waving her fan, kicked away the chair she was using for relaxation, and her entire demeanor changed drastically.

"Go! So all 107 classmates are here. We can't let our precious baby down!"
