Back then, Feng Wu used to be so confused and had to ask her master the reason for her memorizing all those theories and techniques. She wasn’t going to have all of those attributes anyway.

Her beautiful master told her that whether she had an attribute herself or not wasn’t relevant; it was about recognizing her opponents’ attributes and techniques. As the saying went:

Know the enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.

Hence, her beautiful master had urged her to learn all the techniques by heart.

Back then, she had even talked to her master about making innovations to existing manuals.

She had only been five or six and knew too little to innovate anything. Her beautiful master, however, was a different story.

He was the man that could look down on the entire continent. He was like a G.o.d who stood on the clouds.

If he wanted, nothing on this continent could escape his eyes.

A casual comment on a practice manual could make men go wild with joy, or even create a grandmaster of a generation.

Hence, Feng Wu was elated when she read the question for the fourth section. It was right up her alley.

She wrote down her answer without hesitation.

The fifth section was on auxiliary skills.

From a list of questions related to auxiliary skills, one had to choose two and make improvements.

The subjects covered formations, medicine refinement, sewing, smelting, and so forth.

Feng Wu was looking at an incomplete formation.

She soon saw that it was a medium level formation, which could be turned into an advanced level one with some minor alterations…

Given her formation skills, Feng Wu solved the problem in no time.

The second question she chose was on medicine refinement, which she solved very quickly as well.

Whoosh –

Feng Wu didn’t linger on any of the questions. She answered those she could answer, and as for those she couldn’t, staring at them wouldn’t change anything.

After handing in the paper, Feng Wu turned around to look at Chaoge.

Feng Wu had at least answered part of the first few sections and had done well in the last section. But Chaoge…

Chaoge had chewed the end of her pen raw, but her paper remained blank.

Chaoge looked up and her face reminded Feng Wu of a poor, sad spiritual pet.

Feng Wu rubbed her forehead.

Chaoge… had a lot of work to do.

After Feng Wu handed in her paper, Grand Secretary Fang began to correct it right away.

The first section totaled 50 points and Feng Wu scored 25.

The second section required her to write from memory, but since Feng Wu wasn’t familiar with the text, she had left it blank, which meant she got a zero.

Grand Secretary Fang wrote a big, round zero on the paper with cinnabar. He then raised his head and gave Feng Wu a stern look.

Feng Wu felt ashamed and bit her lower lip involuntarily.

The third section was multiple choice questions.

The requirement was very strict. The answer was only correct when all correct option(s) and only the correct one(s) were selected.

There were ten questions in total and they could be on any subject.

The frown on Grand Secretary Fang’s face gradually eased as he read on.

Feng Wu had answered five out of the ten questions, and all five were correct. That was to say, as long as she knew the subject, she could get the correct answer.

The five unanswered ones were on subjects she didn’t know.

Out of the total 50 points, Feng Wu got 25 again.

Section four was short answer questions, and the candidate needed to elaborate on the theory, techniques, and innovations of the “Ice Everywhere” stance.
