At this moment, Ru Yan Wu Ji continued, "According to the competition rules, the divine soul celestial palace, having ranked first, will first present thirty questions."
"Next, our eternal immortal sect will pose twenty questions."
"Finally, the Huangfu Sacred Sect will present ten questions."
"Of course, everyone can rest assured about this process."
“Of course, everyone rest assured about the fairness of the questions. This sovereign, Palace Master Zhuge, and Sovereign Dantai have all sworn that during each competition, the assessment questions will never be leaked to the disciples of their respective sects. Therefore, this is very fair.”
“Alright, that’s all. Palace Master Zhuge, please proceed.”
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yu stood up from her seat and walked in front of Luo Fan, Du Ling, and Yin Shui Ling.
“If the three are ready, then this palace master will begin now.” Zhuge Yu extended her right hand, adorned with the Qiankun Ring.
“Ready!” The three stared intently at Zhuge Yu's right hand, their bodies tensed up.
“Good, let’s start.” Zhuge Yu’s voice just fell, and the Qiankun Ring flashed with blue light, revealing a completely blue spiritual herb with four leaves in her hand.
“Seventh-grade spiritual herb: Blue Spirit Mysterious Grass!” Du Ling spoke first.
“Correct, Eternal Immortal Sect earns 10 points!” As Zhuge Yu spoke, a pink spiritual herb appeared in her right palm out of thin air.
“Fifth-grade spiritual herb: Sun Heart Immortal Grass!”
“Fifth-grade spiritual herb…”
“Five…”
This time, when Yin Shui Ling answered correctly, Du Ling only managed to say four words, while Luo Fan barely uttered a single “Five”!
Next, Zhuge Yu brought out eight more spiritual herbs, ultimately, Yin Shui Ling answered 4 correctly, and Du Ling also got 4 right.
However, Luo Fan recognized them each time but always lagged behind the two by half a beat!
Dantai Xuanzhong, Shen Subing, and Tang Xinying wore expressions that were extremely difficult to bear!
Their disciple Luo Fan was still unable to respond as quickly as the other two, always falling behind!
Zhuge Yu did not forget to mock Dantai Xuanzhong subtly, looking at Luo Fan indifferently, she said, “Not recognizing means not recognizing. Always falling behind Yin Shui Ling and Du Ling, I suppose you only answered after hearing what they said, right?”
“I haven’t!” Luo Fan retorted.
“Hmph.” Zhuge Yu snorted coldly, just as she was about to take out the eleventh spiritual herb, a powerful voice resonated throughout the vast Eternal Creation Field, “Palace Master Zhuge, please wait!”
“Hmm?” Zhuge Yu and everyone else turned to look, only to see Tan Yun stepping out from the crowd, bowing to Shen Subing, “Chief, Brother Luo has been unwell lately and is not as quick as the other two. I respectfully request Chief to let Brother Luo rest, and I’ll take his place to compete against Du Ling and Yin Shui Ling.”
Shen Subing furrowed her brows tightly, her red lips moving, questioning, “Tan Yun, the competition concerns the honor of our Sacred Sect. You’ve only been in the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden for a short time; do you… have the ability?”
“Pfft… I’m a man, how can you ask if I can or cannot? Even if I can’t, I have to give it a try!” Tan Yun looked at Shen Subing’s alluring figure, then at her charming lips, and in his heart, he secretly thought before bowing, “I will definitely do my best!”
As Shen Subing was about to say something, Dantai Xuanzhong waved his hand, “Tan Yun performed well in yesterday’s battle; if he wants to give it a try, let him. If it doesn’t work out, we can replace him.”
“Understood.” Shen Subing complied, and the fifty disciples from the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden looked bewildered.
Senior Brother Tan can also participate?
In the more than two years since Tan Yun entered the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden, he hadn’t even seen the spiritual herbs cultivated there!
Furthermore, he had never inquired about the knowledge of spiritual herbs!
