Chapter 268: Test


    The cultivators’ spirits rose when they heard that there would be a test after the lesson ended.


    If they could gain the appreciation of Yuehua, they might get the chance to learn Yuehua’s “Thousand Hand Moon Buddha” on top of earning the high-value schrship.


    A mystic technique of that level was the dream of the cultivators present.


    Yuehua said, “These ten basic extraction methods are the basics for all sorts of mystic techniques and their variants. Although they are known as the basics, they are not simple at all. Not to mention beginners who just began learning the Deste Heaven technique, even grandmasters, who have been well-versed in the Deste Heaven technique for a very long time, might asionally make a few mistakes. Now, I will exin all the ten extraction methods once. You canpare it with what you have previously learned...”


    “The first extraction method...” Yuehua began to lecture. From time to time, she would demonstrate for the cultivators present.


    As a sage-level Deste Heaven Master, Yuehua’s level of the Deste Heaven technique was impable. All the cultivators present gained a lot from listening to her lecture. Many of the things that they were previously confused about slowly became clearer to them.


    During Yuehua’s lecture, Luo Huo’er would listen with ease, while stealthily taking nces at Yi Yun.


    She wanted to see what the scene of a simpleton listening to a book from heaven would be like.


    Luo Huo’er originally thought that it would be impossible for Yi Yun to understand Yuehua’s lecture. She thought he would either be frowning, with a constipated look, or he would be day dreaming.


    Either one of those would have made Luo Huo’er delighted. However, when she looked at him, he was listening with a fascinated look on his face.


    He held a pen in his hand and would scribble on a piece of paper from time to time.


    A warrior’s memory was excellent and they would often have eidetic memory, but that would usually only happen if they had a basic understanding of what they learned.


    If they did not understand anything, then it would be difficult for them to remember. This was when pen and paper would reflect their functions.


    Seeing Yi Yun ruminating over it, with the asional scribble or the asional frown, Luo Huo’er was stunned.


    Could this rascal stop taking this so seriously? I’m sure he can neither understand it nor be able to learn the Deste Heaven technique.


    This view was not because Luo Huo’er looked down on Yi Yun, it was because he had started toote. Besides, he was learning under a grandmaster like Yuehua, which would be almost impossible to catch up with.


    If he could not learn it, why was he so adamant about it? Was he stupid? Why bother being so stubborn?


    During Yuehua’s lecture, there were some parts that became extremely profound. Even some of the Deste Heaven Master apprentices slowly failed to follow her teachings. Once they were unable to catch up, they would easily be left behind.


    The cultivators present were all in their teens. Although they were hardworking, they would have some child-like mentalities. They might find it difficult to focus, especially when many of the things were iprehensible.


    It was taxing on the brain to try and understand the things Yuehua was teaching. A couple of minutes would be fine, but to continue on for more than an hour made many of them unable to handle it.


    Luo Huo’er realized that some people had already lost focus, and when they regained their focus, they would find many things iprehensible no matter how hard they paid attention.


    But Yi Yun, who was a person who did not know anything about the Deste Heaven technique, was focused from beginning to end. He was quickly scribbling on his paper without any ck.


    “This toad...” Luo Huo’er could not understand the situation.


    Even if he knew the hopes were low, he was still diligent...


    Such a person could easily move a person’s heart.


    Initially, Luo Huo’er’s attitude towards to Yi Yun was one of ridicule and gloating, hoping to see Yi Yun suffer a setback.


    But over time, Yi Yun’s seriousness changed Luo Huo’er’s impression of him. No matter when it was, it was not right to ridicule a hardworking person.


    It might be easy tough at the stupidity of a person determined to surmount an impossible task, but if one were to do so, it meant that one was going further away from sess.


    Yuehua lecture went on for two hours before she finished.


    Many of the cultivators received a headache from listening. Only the best, like Luo Huo’er or Yang Yuefeng, could follow Yuehua’s thoughts, receiving enormous benefits.


    “Alright, digest what I have just taught. In ten minutes, we will have the test.” When Yuehua said this, many of them began to tense up.


    Many of the youths, who were originally very confident about the test, had now lost their confidence.


    The things Yuehua taught were too profound. They were afraid that they would not be able to obtain a good result.


    Seeing so many people with sour looks, Yang Yuefeng was extremely excited. He loved tests. He wanted to earn a schrship through the test, and at the same time, shine. He wanted to let everyone see his talent in the Deste Heaven technique!


    Although he was inferior to Luo Huo’er, if he could be the person closest to Luo Huo’er through his hard work, he might be able to gain the attention of Luo Huo’er.


    The more Yang Yuefeng thought, the greater expectations he had. As for Yi Yun, he had long forgotten about him.


    Yang Yuefeng repeatedly looked at Luo Huo’er, brimming with confidence.


    He wanted to vie for second ce!


    “Alright, I’ll hand out the test now!” Yuehua tapped the lecture stand lightly and, with a tiny voice, quietened down the entire ssroom.


    Many of them now held their breaths as they grew nervous.


    Yuehua took out rolls of scrolls from her interspatial ring. There were more than a hundred rolls. With a flick of her finger, the scrolls flew to the front of every cultivator. These scrolls were made of deste beast hide and werepletely nk.


    Following that, Yuehua did a hand seal. With a dense amount of shadows appearing around her fingers, more than a hundred seals were sent out by her. They turned into golden runes and flew!


    The underground hall was not very bright, but with the hundreds of runes appearing, the room brightened up immediately!


    “Oh? Is this the Thousand Hand Moon Buddha?”


    Seeing Yuehua’s hand movements, many cultivators’ eyes lit up.


    It was impressive to create more than a hundred seals in an instant!


    People eximed.


    Hearing them making a fuss, Yang Yuefeng disdainfully said, “How could this be the Thousand Hand Moon Buddha? It’s just some hand seals Teacher Yuehua casually made. The Thousand Hand Moon Buddha is even more incredible than this!”


    Yang Yuefeng said this with a reverence for Yuehua. Throughout the lesson, Yang Yuefeng’s ambition grew. He too wanted to learn the Thousand Hand Moon Buddha!


    “More incredible than this...”


    People gulped a mouthful of saliva and stayed silent. Grandmaster Yuehua’s Deste Heaven technique had long since exceeded their imaginations.


    The hundred seals Yuehua formed flew in front of every cultivator,nding on the nk scroll, merging into them.


    Yi Yun had also received such a scroll, and the runes on the scroll looked as if they were written with a golden pen.


    “Now, you can choose any grade of deste bone, extract the energy within the bone and condense it into the rune. I will give all of you 15 minutes before I collect the test papers.”


    The contents of the test mentioned by Yuehua was clear and simple.


    Although it sounded simple, it was not easy to do so. The runes may look small, but they came from Yuehua. Not only did the rune paths have arge capacity, they were alsoplex. Trying to conform to the rune paths and then use the Power of Destes to slowly fill it was easier said than done!


    Many of them frowned. They felt like they had an impossible task facing them.


    The first lesson’s test content was very difficult!


    A few people could not help but nce at Yi Yun. In their hearts they were thinking that thanks to this rascal, who would end up at the bottom, no matter how bad they did they would still be able to extract at least some energy. But Yi Yun would most likely stand there sillily like a wooden pole.


    “Teacher Yuehua is such a nice person. She even handed to Yi Yun a test scroll even though he does not know anything...”


    Many of them felt that there was no point in giving Yi Yun a test scroll. They felt that it was only because Yuehua was considerate of Yi Yun’s pride that she did not make any distinction.


    At this moment, the best of them, like Luo Huo’er and Yang Yuefeng had already chosen their deste bones. They had also began extracting energy from them, transnting it into the golden runes.


    This test’s level was not a problem for them, especially for Luo Huo’er. She made a few tiny movements with her finger, as if she was ying a piano. All her movements were harmonious like flowing water.


    People could clearly see the shimmering light beneath Luo Huo’er’s hands.


    This was the lighting from the condensing of the Power of Destes. The methods and phenomenaing from the extraction of energy varied from person to person as everyone had a different affinity with energy. It did not really matter if the Power of Destes emitted light as it could happen with either oue. But overall, it was better to emit light during condensation.


    At this moment, Yi Yun had yet to make his move. He could not resist opening his Purple Crystal’s energy vision.


    In his energy vision, the Power of Destes’ light was even stronger. Yi Yun could clearly see the light dots following every movement of Luo Huo’er’s as they flew into the golden rune.


    Previously when Yuehua was lecturing, Yi Yun listened attentively. The first volume of Su Jie’s notebook Lin Xintong left him was also on energy extraction.


    Back then, Yi Yun did not understand a lot of things, but after listening to Yuehua’s lecture, and seeing Yuehua’s demonstration of the methods, hepared it with the descriptions within Su Jie’s notebook. As such, Yi Yun began to understand many things he previously did not.


    With Yuehua’s demonstration, Yi Yun could use his energy vision to see every seal she made clearly. He could see how the energy changed and moved, allowing him to keenly grasp it.


    The other Deste Heaven Master apprentices, even Luo Huo’er, would not be able to see it so clearly.


    With theory conjoining with practice, Yi Yun had a general idea about the extraction of the Power of Destes. With the Purple Crystal’s help, extracting the energy from deste bones was no longer difficult for Yi Yun.


    By recalling the ten theories of Power of Destes extraction, Yi Yun made his move. He chose a high-grade general-ranked deste beast’s bone. This grade of deste bone was not easy for a Deste Heaven Master apprentice!


    Actually if Yi Yun wanted to, he could even extract the energy from a primordial species’ bone. But this would have been too shocking.


    With some light finger movements, the energy within the deste bones were now rapidly being pulled out by Yi Yun.


    In the Purple Crystal’s energy vision, Yi Yun could see the light dots flying around like fairies all over the ssroom.


    But no one could see the light dots condensed by the Purple Crystal.


    No matter how grand the scene was, the people around him were blind to this.
