The masked ones stood in front of the participants and announced their result. “Now that the 2nd Test has been completed we shall announce the point calculating system. Your points were all calculated on the amount of brutality you could inflict on your enemy. Gaining only a single point is barely defeating your opponent and all ten points are for utter and complete demolition of the enemy. Of this batch only two among you have achieved ten points !” Most of the participants hearing this were shocked, someone among them had managed to accomplish such a feat ! “If you have any questions please raise your hands.” The Masked one blandly stated. Several hands rose up, among them one belonged to Xiao Kang. “Yes you first” The masked one pointed to one of them. “Can you tell us who the two who obtained ten points were ?” “Oh well they are Ling Xuan and Xiao Kang, ok next !” The masked one stated as if stating a mere insignificant fact. The participants however were quite shocked upon the reveal of the names. “Ling Xuan? Wasn’t his father a prodigy himself,looks like their genius and power runs in their blood.” “Ling Xuan, are they talking about my elder cousin?” A member of the Ling Clan asked someone “Of course dummy, who else do you think is both Ling Xuan and also talented enough to come here?” “Xiao Kang ? I’ve never heard of a Xiao Clan.” “If I remember correctly the Xiao Clan is supposed to be an average level clan from Giant’s Fall.” “Woah, looks like the Xiao Clan are truly blessed by the Dragon !” Several conversations had sprung up after the identity of the two Martial Prodigies. “So was that the only question you people wanted to ask?” The voice of the masked one resounded in the hall. Soon everyone was quiet and steadily raised their hands. “Yes,now let me see.” The masked one scanned every individual who raised their hand. “Yes, you ! Ling Xuan !” The masked individual chose. “Senior,why are you telling all of us this information such as the point system?” Ling Xuan asked The sound of chuckling could be heard as the masked one was amused at the question. “Finally a proper question !” The masked one exclaimed. “How idiotic are you children to not question why we’re just force feeding you this information ?” The masked one raised his hands to emphasise his point. “Like, I know that you all are children but you all are prodigies as well !” At this point the masked one was just rambling on and on. “Now the reason for such an action is a part of the 2nd Test itself ! If you can’t even know when to ask a correct question you all will be rightfully fucked the moment you step out into the real world !” Hearing the students suddenly realise that it was indeed quite idiotic. “Due to little Xuan here asking this question and due to my generous nature, two points to Ling Xuan I say !” Hearing this all the youths were shocked, after all yes they were quite dumb for not asking a question yet granting someone two points to someone just because of a single question was too much ! Murmurs began to spread through the dim hallway, accusing the masked invigilator for some sort of weird nepotism. “Shut up people !” The masked man shouted instantly silencing the crowd As the crowd settled down, the masked man announced in a high pitch, “Time for the third round. This test is to assess your thinking and grasping capacity. It will help your teachers to assess the cultivation limit of a student”. Ling Xuan suddenly realized something as this was going on. The masked man had not actually answered the actual question. Not only Ling Xuan but the others also realized that the topic of the situation had actually been redirected ! Truly Shameless ! The masked man continued,” All the students follow me into the fortress as the test will take place in one of the rooms. No person other than the candidate will be allowed into the examination room.” The masked man led the group out of the dungeon and out to the plains again. Ling Xuan noticed that the des
