112 Prejudice Is a Mountain

After obtaining this answer, Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo’s jaws dropped on the spot!

There were thousands of students in Yuheng Academy this year. Even if one excluded those with ordinary talent, there were still nearly a thousand left.

So many people had participated in the assessment, but only six had passed in the end. The difficulty of the assessment could be imagined!

“You really don’t have to be nervous!”

Xu Junrou quickly added, “I swear on Yi Han’s intelligence that the assessment is really not difficult. You’ll know when you go!”

Wang Xiao glanced at Yi Han and did not speak. If he could even believe such words, his intelligence was probably even inferior to Yi Han’s!

Seeing Wang Xiao’s reaction, Yi Han clearly panicked. He leaned close to Xu Junrou’s ear and asked softly, “Xiao Rou, did I say something wrong? What if they don’t participate in the assessment?”

Xu Junrou looked helpless. “If they don’t participate or don’t pass, we can only give up on traveling and return to the academy to keep an eye on him.”

At the same time.

Zhou Xiruo also leaned close to Wang Xiao’s ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Shall we give it a try?”

“We might be able to pass if we go, but if we don’t go, we can only stay in the academy to attend classes. At that time, if they run around outside, how can we protect Yi Han?”

Wang Xiao sighed softly. “I know everything you’re saying. I’m worried that if we follow too closely, it will arouse suspicion. Didn’t Commander Chen ask us to keep it a secret?”

“Does it arouse suspicion…”

Zhou Xiruo glanced at Yi Han. “Is this guy even capable of that?”

“He’s not, but Xu Junrou is.”

Wang Xiao replied quietly without batting an eyelid, “I underestimated her previously. She’s far smarter than we thought. Even if we cooperate in the future, you have to be careful.”

Zhou Xiruo nodded. “I understand, but what should we do now?”

“…”

At the mention of the current situation, Wang Xiao immediately hesitated again. However, when he thought of the benefits Chen Jinrong had promised, he finally nodded. “Lead the way!”

Seeing that Wang Xiao had agreed to the assessment, Yi Han and Xu Junrou revealed happy expressions and hurriedly walked to the front to lead the way.

Not long after, the four of them arrived at a corner of the Yuheng Academy. There was only a lonely small house here, looking like a warehouse that had been neglected for a long time.

“This is the assessment venue?”

Wang Xiao sized up the small house and asked suspiciously. He did not expect the Yuheng Academy, which valued strength so much, to have an assessment place that was so shabby.

“This place only looks inconspicuous, but there’s actually another world inside.”

As Xu Junrou spoke, she pointed at the low door. “The academy has a rule that students who have participated in the assessment can’t enter, so I can only send you here.”

Wang Xiao felt that this rule was a little strange, but he did not think too much about it. After thanking the other party, he brought Zhou Xiruo to the door and raised his hand to knock lightly three times.

“Hello, teacher. Let’s participate in the assessment!”

Wang Xiao shouted. No one responded, but the small door opened a crack.

Turning around to look at Xu Junrou, the other party waved his hand to signal him to enter quickly. Wang Xiao did not hesitate anymore and directly pulled open the door and walked in.

There were no windows in the room. The sunlight could only illuminate a small area near the door. It was completely dark two to three steps away.

Moreover, after entering, Wang Xiao clearly felt that the temperature had dropped significantly. This subconsciously made his nerves tense. Then, he stopped at the door and raised his hand to protect Zhou Xiruo. At the same time, he held the door open so that the sunlight could enter.

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one spoke, Wang Xiao took the initiative to say, “Teacher, we’re new transfer students. We’re here to take the assessment.”

“What talent?”

A low voice came from the darkness. It was impossible to tell if it was a man or a woman, nor could he tell the exact location. It was as if the other party had been moving when he spoke.

“Beast tamer lord.”

“Construction lord.”

The two of them looked at each other and said.

After a pause, Wang Xiao continued, “We’re now level three lords. We have 1,400 kilometers of territory, 14 city-states, and 80,000 people.”

“Got it.”

The voice replied indifferently, “Leave the construction lord behind. Beast tamer lord, go out.”

“Okay.”

Wang Xiao agreed and suddenly felt that something was wrong. “Teacher, did I pass?”

The voice in the darkness was silent for a moment. “The beast tamer lord is not qualified to participate in the assessment.”

“…”

Wang Xiao was immediately speechless, but he still patiently explained, “Teacher, you probably don’t understand my situation. I’m…”

“There’s no need.”

The voice interrupted Wang Xiao stiffly. “The [Beast Tamer Lord] is not qualified to participate in the assessment.”

“…Alright.”

Wang Xiao was so angry that he laughed. He thought to himself that this teacher most likely did not have the Internet at home. Otherwise, how could the other party not know who he was?

The prejudice in people’s hearts was like a huge mountain. Wang Xiao could not be bothered to argue anymore. He sneered and looked at Zhou Xiruo. “I have no chance. Best of luck.”

Zhou Xiruo smiled and cupped her hands towards the room. “Teacher, I’m very sorry. I’m Wang Xiao’s vassal lord. If he doesn’t participate, I’ll leave first.”

As she spoke, Zhou Xiruo wanted to go out, but just as she raised her foot, she felt as if she had kicked something, but there was clearly nothing there.

Puzzled, Zhou Xiruo subconsciously reached out to touch it and realized that an invisible wall had appeared at the door at some point. No matter how hard she tried, she could not pass through it.

When Wang Xiao saw Zhou Xiruo’s actions, he could not help but ask in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

“There’s something wrong with this place.”

Zhou Xiruo briefly explained the situation. Wang Xiao was also interested after hearing this. He stretched out his hand to feel it, but his hand reached out of the door without any obstruction.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xiruo tried again in the spot Wang Xiao had reached out. As expected, she was blocked again.

The two of them looked at each other, and their expressions became a little subtle. If this was the Myriad World Secret Realm, it would be understandable, but this was the real world!

Suddenly, Wang Xiao’s eyes flickered as he thought of something. He took out a [Identification Scroll] from his territory and tore it open at the interior of the room.

[Trial Proving Ground (Purple)]

[Scene-type item. It can formulate a corresponding scene and simulate the highest combat strength the trial-taker might have in the future according to the trial-taker’s own conditions.]

Seeing this introduction, Wang Xiao revealed a knowing expression. “So that’s what Xu Junrou meant by ‘unique world’!”

Zhou Xiruo also saw the introduction, but she was still at a loss. “What does it mean by ‘simulating the highest combat strength a cultivator might have in the future’? Why don’t I understand?”

“I’m not sure about the details, but it probably means living in the [Trial Proving Ground].”

Wang Xiao closed the interface and explained, “Simulate an environment suitable for development and see how far the trial participants can improve under normal circumstances.”

“I see!”

Zhou Xiruo revealed a look of realization. “No wonder this place uses their strength to divide the students into classes. With such a tool, they can definitely clearly understand the potential of every student!”

“Not necessarily.”

Wang Xiao sneered and did not hide the disdain on his face. “I just said that this place can only simulate development under ‘normal circumstances’… But what if there are abnormal situations?”
