Time passed little by little, and the monks taking the exam were sweating profusely.

It's not because of the hot weather, but because these questions are too difficult.

In addition to those questions that test the nature of mind, the remaining questions related to branches of practice are also much more difficult.

Almost every question made everyone shake their heads.

From alchemy to weapon refining, to the art of talisman and seal script, and finally the topic of stealing.

This single test paper has covered many difficult problems in the world of cultivation, which can be said to be even more difficult.

At this time, a panicked figure ran up from the eighth floor.

"Su Fan, someone has finished answering the paper!"

Zhou Tianzi hurriedly ran up, holding a test paper in his hand.

This sound also attracted Sun Wusheng's attention, and he couldn't help but become curious.

Most of the monks on the ninth floor are still reading the first paper. Even the fastest old master only made it to the second half of the second paper. How could anyone be faster than this saint, Old Master?

Su Fan also became curious. He took the paper and took a look at it. Before even looking at the name, he could already tell whose paper it belonged to just from the handwriting.

"Hey, it's really this kid."

There is a name written on the test paper, and the person's origin is neatly written on the front.

"Haotian Sect, Zhenyuan Peak, Shen Yuan."

Su Fan originally made a rough ranking. After Old Master, Shen Yuan should be ranked first.

After all, this kid has read through the Haotian Sect's Sutra Collection Pavilion, and even now he can recite it by heart. Even he is a little amazed.

Emperor Zhou was surprised and said: "I said, your Haotian Sect has a talent. He actually answered all the questions. After that, he asked me if I, the old master, had finished the answers. Isn't this provoking the old man?"

"That's it for this kid. He was the first in the last exam, and I'm afraid he will be the same this time."

Su Fan put the paper away with a smile and was not in a hurry to read it.

Emperor Zhou couldn't stay here for long, so he hurriedly returned to the eighth floor.

"Don't you look at his papers?" Sun Wusheng asked with a frown.

Su Fan smiled confidently and said: "If you don't watch, it will be in vain if you watch. As my nephew, I am not very sure about the battle. This time, he should be the first."

"Are you so confident?" Sun Wusheng said solemnly: "If it were someone else's words, your words would be a slap in the face. In addition to the old master, there are also many of his disciples present for the exam, and some even came from the Confucius Institute.

."

A slap in the face?

nonexistent.

Su Fan explained: "There are many books in the Haotian Sect's Scripture Pavilion, including some that I have collected over the years. However, Shen Yuan has read all these books and memorized them by heart. Even the old master may not be able to compare with them.

Worth it."

The seventh floor.

This floor was almost full of people, and some were even flying in mid-air, staring at the entrance to the eighth floor.

"Who do you think will come out first?"

"Does this need to be said? It must be the old master. He is a saint. He must be the first to answer the question."

The crowd has already begun to guess who will come out first. After all, the first person to come out will have to leave from here, and will also enjoy the attention of thousands of people.

"Someone's coming down!"

Hearing someone shouting, everyone looked over with bated breath.

I saw a young man in plain clothes walking down slowly, with a calm face and the word "Haotian" tattooed on his chest.

"What's going on? Why is a young man coming down? Where is the old master?"

"Isn't the old master not as quick as this guy?"

"He is from the Haotian Sect. It seems that there are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Haotian Sect. There is actually someone comparable to the old master."

"Not necessarily. Maybe he filled it out randomly just because he wanted to be the first to come down."

"..."

Everyone speculated one after another, and Shen Yuan stopped after walking over.

The road in front of us was blocked and it was impossible to leave.

"Everyone, please excuse me, I want to go down first." Shen Yuan cupped his hands.

The people blocking the road reacted and hurriedly retreated to both sides, making way for Shen Yuan to leave smoothly.

After all, the other party is a member of the Haotian Sect, and they are not someone they can provoke. It would be troublesome if they were misunderstood.

"Thank you!"

Shen Yuan thanked him and walked downstairs.

But after taking only two steps, he was stopped by someone.

"Fellow Taoist, stay!"

A female monk came out and bowed her hands to Shen Yuan as a greeting.

Shen Yuan stopped and asked in confusion, "What's the matter with fellow Taoist?"

The female monk hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, fellow Taoist, I just have something to ask you. Have you finished all the questions? Is the exam difficult?"

This is also what other people are curious about. They all want to know how the above exam went?

"Of course I have finished the questions, but this time the questions are very difficult, much more difficult than what I did last time, so I can't guarantee how correct they are." Shen Yuan responded truthfully.

At this time, a green-robed monk hurriedly asked: "Fellow Taoist, where did you rank in the last exam of your Haotian Sect?"

"First." Shen Yuan said calmly.

Everyone was shocked when they heard Shen Yuan's response.

"Are you Shen Yuan, the score controller?" A monk shouted hurriedly.

It can be said that Shen Yuan's name has spread throughout the Qitian Conference as soon as the exam was announced.

In order to put less pressure on the other disciples, he deliberately did a few wrong questions, but in the end he still ranked first, which was almost embarrassing.

It is said that he is knowledgeable in all branches of spiritual practice and has the talent to follow the old master's footsteps.

Even he said it was difficult, but I'm afraid the question this time is really difficult.

"Do you know me?"

Naturally, Shen Yuan didn't know that he was famous, so he just looked at them curiously.

The monks present all explained in a few words.

At this time, another person walked down from the entrance. His white robe was still dusty, his steps were slow, his body was hunched over, and he had a faint smile on his face.

"We have met the Confucian Sage!"

When they saw the person coming, everyone present bowed respectfully, even Shen Yuan bowed respectfully.

The old master nodded, walked towards Shen Yuan with a smile, and patted Shen Yuan's shoulder with his dry palm.

"Yes, you are much stronger than the old man. It seems that there will be no shortage of Confucian sages in the world of cultivation in the future." The old master's eyes were full of joy and appreciation.

"Senior's compliments are ridiculous, but I'm not worthy of this junior." Shen Yuan responded respectfully.

The old master smiled and said: "Young people, don't be so humble. You must know that arrogance is your nature, otherwise you will have no time to be arrogant when you get old."

"Junior, thank you for your teachings, senior." Shen Yuan responded with a smile, and there was a hint of confidence and arrogance in his eyes.

In the entire world of cultivation, there was only one person who truly convinced him, and that was Haotian Sect's uncle Su Fan.

The rest of the people are not worthy of him, even the Confucian sage Old Master is not worthy of his heartfelt submission.

What the old master can do, he, Shen Yuan, can naturally do, and even do better.

"good!"

The old master laughed and said: "No one in the world of cultivation can surprise me so much. Let me ask you, what do you think of the question 'Women from the Ten Thousand Years Sect by the Lake'?"

Answered?"

"Follow your heart." Shen Yuan said with a smile.

"Of course, what is your true intention?" the old master continued to ask.

Shen Yuan looked around and said with a smile: "This junior is also a young man, so he naturally chose what I should choose."

That's right, he chose the first answer.

This was his true intention. If he really answered the question, I'm afraid the fourth one would be the answer, but he knew that Su Fan's question would not be simple, so he followed the answer in his heart.

The old master was stunned for a moment, frowned and fell silent.

For a long time, he didn't speak, and everyone around him became confused.
