Although the classes lasted only half a day on weekdays, there were a lot of exams.
There was a small exam every ten days, a qualifying exam every six months, and a major exam every year. Unless there were any natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods, there would normally be no interruptions.
Not only did the disciples dislike this complicated exam, but Jian Xiuyun didn’t like it either, because he had to be there for supervision.
The ten-day exam was actually very simple and crude. They just had to throw the disciples into the abyss of the back mountain.
The Abyss was a forest where countless beasts lived. They were imprisoned here by the eight sects hundreds of years ago. They were imprisoned in the back mountain; hence it was Xuyu Peak’s responsibility to be in charge of them.
Later, he didn’t know which leader felt it was too much of a waste of mana to keep these beasts in vain, so he set up a ten-day exam. Every ten days, the disciples had to go in and stay there for a day to catch beasts. Naturally, whoever caught the most would get the best results.
After registering the results, they put the beasts back so they could be caught again next time.
The main reason why they had dared to conduct such an exam was because the great demon of the year had been exterminated, and the remaining beasts did not have high cultivation.
And in order to prevent accidents, the masters must hide their bodies and follow their disciples to protect them.
No disciple had ever met any casualties, thus the exam continued.
Soon, five days passed.
On this day, everyone gathered at the entrance of Ming Hall, early in the morning. As usual, Jian Xiuyun began instructing the precautions that he had given countless times.
“First, try not to separate in the abyss. It is safer to move together.”
“Second, after entering, if you encounter a beast that exceeds your cultivation, immediately set off a signal flare and escape quickly.”
“Third…”
“Shizun, please say no more. You do it again and again every ten days, I can memorize it now.” Lin Liaoting interrupted him.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Jian Xiuyun looked at his relaxed behavior, reached out and pinched his ears, saying with a sneer, “I’ve repeated it so many times, but did you obey every time?”

“Yes, I hear you.” Lin Liaoting said perfunctorily.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jian Xiuyun opened the barrier without further delay, and the three of them went in.
After they all entered, Jian Xiuyun turned himself invisible and followed them in.
As soon as he entered, he saw Lin Liaoting turn his head and glare at Kan Wenxiao, saying, “You, don’t follow us.”
Jian Xiuyun, “…” He knew it.
This was the case every time in the ten-day exam in his previous life.
Lin Liaoting would tell Kan Wenxiao to leave as soon as they entered.
Sometimes he would also deliberately drive Kan Wenxiao to places abundant with beasts.
Jian Xiuyun witnessed all of this as he silently followed them, but naturally he didn’t care about it.
One time, Jian Xiuyun felt too bored and sprinkled some beast-attracting orchid fragrance on Kan Wenxiao, attracting many beasts towards him.
In the end, although Kan Wenxiao came back intact, he was also seriously injured and was bedridden for three days before getting up.
“Liaoting,” Song Qingru frowned and said, “You have forgotten Shizun’s instructions.”
Lin Liaoting said nonchalantly, “Shizun is not here. Shijie, if you are so worried about Kan Wenxiao, why don’t you follow him?”
“You…” Song Qingru wanted to say something, but in the end she only uttered that one word and fell silent.
Although there were no big demons at the moment, there were a lot of ordinary beasts. It was safer for all of them to act together and help each other. However, she failed to persuade Lin Liaoting each time, and their master had told her before that Lin Liaoting’s cultivation was weak, so she should protect him more.
As for Kan Wenxiao, he had the strongest cultivation. Although he was alone every time, his results were always the best. Therefore, compared to Kan Wenxiao, Song Qingru was more worried about Lin Liaoting in the abyss.
I originally thought that since Shizun’s attitude towards Kan Wenxiao has changed a lot in the past few days, Lin Liaoting would also change a little, but I didn’t expect that he would do this again when entering the abyss.
Kan Wenxiao noticed Song Qingru’s troubled look, and turned around and left without saying a word.
Lin Liaoting snorted at his back and walked straight in the other direction.
Jian Xiuyun stayed where he was for a while, then walked towards the direction Kan Wenxiao had gone.
He remembered that in his previous life, Kan Wenxiao brought out a little creature from the abyss, who later became one of his wives. He couldn’t remember the exact time, but it was around this time.
This was the first time that Jian Xiuyun had followed Kan Wenxiao and seen his performance in the abyss.
His whole person was like an unsheathed blade, sharp to the extreme.
The ordinary beasts along the way were no match for him, and he quickly caught them all.
Kan Wenxiao also had amazing luck. He never encountered any high-level beasts and everything went smoothly.
Jian Xiuyun, who had been following him, expressed his boredom.
However, just as they were about to walk out of the abyss, a ray of red light fell from the sky, transforming into a little red-clad girl holding a long whip.
Jian Xiuyun raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect that the two of them really met on this day.
He remembered this girl, named You Zhinian. She was really eye-catching.
Her long red hair, red pupils, red dress, and red whip were all like a ball of fire, making it difficult for people to not notice.
And her character was also very fierce.
Jian Xiuyun gave Kan Wenxiao a complicated look, feeling a little emotional. As expected of the male protagonist, he could enjoy all sorts of sexual luxuries.
“Free my people.” You Zhinian said, twisting her wrist and slashing her whip in front of Kan Wenxiao, raising a cloud of dust.
Kan Wenxiao didn’t budge an inch, standing as still as a mountain. He looked up at her calmly, and replied, “I won’t.”
You Zhinian flew into a rage, her hand that held the whip trembling. She pointed at him and said hatefully, “You humans, don’t take things too far. You lock us up in this shabby forest with no explanation, and then come in and capture us just to release us again. Do we have no fucking face? You’d better let my people go, or else…”
“Else what?” Kan Wenxiao asked.
“Else I’ll kill you!” You Zhinian said, her eyes changing as her whip ignited with layers of flames, and she swung it flexibly at Kan Wenxiao.
Kan Wenxiao moved, and the whip missed, hitting the stone beside him.
The stone was instantly split.
Jian Xiuyun raised his eyebrows. She was quite strong.
Kan Wenxiao also realized that, and unsheathed his sword as he began to fight.
He used the fourth form of《Qing Ming》that Jian Xiuyun had taught him that day. Compared to five days ago, Kan Wenxiao’s sword skills were much more proficient. Jian Xiuyun was very pleased with this. He suddenly felt that Kan Wenxiao was indeed a talent that could be well crafted.
However, You Zhinian’s cultivation level was higher than his, and he didn’t know if Kan Wenxiao could handle her.
The two were fighting fiercely at this time. What was commendable was that although his cultivation was not as good as You Zhinian’s, Kan Wenxiao did not fall behind thanks to his solid swordsmanship skills, and even had a tendency to overpower her.
Jian Xiuyun put his mind at ease and was about to concentrate on watching the show. At this time, there were suddenly bursts of tremors underground.
