Chapter 19 The Assessment Begins, Ye Qingcheng Arrives



But Gu Jian saw it clearly.

Gu Jian did not answer immediately.

His divine sense swept outwards, searching.

A moment later, in the vast examination hall, Gu Jian found the person who looked exactly like him.

Looking at the two characters "Gu Jian" hanging on the wall outside the room, Gu Jian smiled coldly.

He carefully used his divine sense to examine the man again.

Even if this person looks exactly like him.

But the more Gu Jian looked at him, the more he felt that he resembled his fourth junior brother, Ye Chen.

After all, a person's appearance can be disguised.

However, some habitual behaviors are not so easy to change.

"It must be Ye Chen. I wonder what methods he used to get him to Ten Thousand Demon City in such a short time?"

Gu Jian muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming.

He didn't linger long on the person impersonating him.

The person had activated a mechanism in the small room, causing a transparent energy barrier to appear and prevent divine sense from probing.

Each room has such a barrier, the purpose of which is to prevent others from peeping.

Soon, the energy barriers were activated in each of the small rooms that served as examination seats.

Shortly after the exam began, Gu Jian activated the barrier mechanism in the room, turning on the barrier.

Then, he focused his attention on the exam paper.

This exam paper includes problem-solving questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, and true/false questions.

After looking at it for a while, Gu Jian felt like he was taking a Chinese language exam before he transmigrated.

Furthermore, Gu Jian originally thought that most of the exam content would be related to demons and monsters.

After reading through the entire exam paper, he discovered that most of the content was related to the State of Chu and the human race.

Some of the reading comprehension questions even included poems and songs from the State of Chu.

It's more like an exam paper used in the Chu Kingdom's imperial examinations, forcibly translated into a foreign language, and then answered in that foreign language.

Do demons also admire human culture?

Gu Jian muttered to himself, and after thinking about it, he realized that it made sense.

After all, demons and monsters don't have their own culture; they only steal from humans.

After being forcibly adapted, it becomes your own.

This is similar to some of the countries he lived in before he traveled through time.

They steal everything from others and shamelessly claim it all belongs to them.

Gu Jian read the exam paper again from beginning to end, and then he had a clear idea of ​​what to expect.

In the Misty Sect, in order to become a qualified senior disciple and to win Ye Qingcheng's favor.

Gu Jian was well-versed in poetry and literature from a young age.

Gu Jian is a cultivator, but his cultural attainments are also quite high.

It's likely that he could easily compete for the title of top scholar in the Chu Kingdom.

Once the reading barrier of the demonic script was overcome, the difficulty of this exam was still not as high as the selection examination for the top scholar in the Chu Kingdom.

Gu Jian began answering the questions quickly using the demonic script.

Two and a half incense sticks' worth of time had passed.

Gu Jian had already completed 70% of the exam paper.

This speed is nothing short of divine for others.

However, Gu Jian himself was still not entirely satisfied.

Because the questions were some of the more absurd ones, it still took him a little time to think about them.

for example--

Is Dandan the name of a puppy or a tiger cub?

Gu Jian considered it for a moment and wrote about the little tiger, after all, it was a tiger eyeing him.

For example—

What is the name of the son of Heaven?

What is the name of the daughter of the heavens?

What is the child of the wind called?

After thinking for a moment about such a bizarre topic, Gu Jian wrote "I am talented", "beautiful", and "water rises" respectively!

Another question asked how a tiger demon, bound by a three-zhang-long rope, could eat grass ten zhang away.

Gu Jian originally thought that the tiger demon would bite through the rope and then go to eat grass.

But after considering it for two and a half minutes, Gu Jian sneered and wrote, "Tiger demons don't eat grass..."

The last question required writing a grand and magnificent poem.

Gu Jian thought for a moment, then without hesitation, picked up his pen and wrote down Brother Bai's poem.

"Have you not seen the Yellow River's waters come from the sky, rushing to the sea never to return?"

"Have you not seen the bright mirror in the high hall reflecting the sorrow of white hair, like black silk in the morning turning to snow by evening!"

While Gu Jian answered the questions methodically.

Feng Yantong, who had been secretly protecting Gu Jian, was now filled with shock.

Not only because she saw Gu Jian participate in the martial arts champion examination of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

Also, on the way she followed Gu Jian, she saw someone who looked exactly like Gu Jian.

That person also entered the examination venue.

"Why is there someone like Jian'er in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom? Who is that person, and why is he impersonating Jian'er?"

“Jian’er seems to know that someone is impersonating him.”

"Did he come here to investigate this matter?"

"Why does Jian'er want to participate in the martial arts champion's examination?"

Feng Yantong muttered to herself.

The martial arts champion examination in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is to select outstanding demonic and monster cultivators to serve the Fox Demon Queen.

Feng Yantong didn't think Gu Jian would do such a thing.

He must have other motives for doing this.

Feng Yantong couldn't understand it for a moment.

But Feng Yantong chose to believe Gu Jian.

After all, she had watched Gu Jian grow up since he was a child and knew his character very well.

Half a day later, the written examination for the martial arts champion finally came to an end.

Feng Yantong used her powerful divine sense to watch the person impersonating Gu Jian enter a mansion.

Then, she used her divine sense to scan the direction where Gu Jian was.

During this process, Feng Yantong noticed that Gu Jian deliberately passed by the mansion where the imposter lived, and occasionally looked inside.

“Clearly, Jian’er knows someone is impersonating him.”

"Jian'er came to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, surely for this person. He's most likely investigating this matter right now!"

Feng Yantong nodded slightly.

There was a thought that I would personally enter that mansion, arrest the person, and interrogate him.

However, she worried that doing so might ruin Gu Jian's plans.

After considering for a moment, Feng Yantong decided to remain still.

She would never act rashly unless Gu Jian was in danger.

With that thought in mind, Feng Yantong headed towards the inn where she was staying.

Shortly after Feng Yantong returned to the inn where she was staying.

Having received the news, Ye Qingcheng finally arrived in Meidu.
