Chapter 43 - More trials I guess (1/2)

A/N: This chapter was kinda rushed. I'm getting busy again so sorry about that.

When everyone heard this, a look of shock entered their face.

Had Huang Yu truly been unaffected the entire time throughout the test? He might be bluffing, but his expression seemed genuine.

Tang Wulin opened his mouth to question Huang Yu about this, but before his words got stuck in his throat as Huang Yu seemed to shift his gaze onto a random empty bit of space.

”Excuse me Miss Shen and the elders of Shrek Academy, but will the test start after you all leave?”

There was silence for a few moments after that.

A while later, Shen Yi reappeared in front of the students of class zero with a forced smile on her face.

”Sorry, Huang Yu, but the apparatus for the test is facing… some problems right now… We'll just have you guys skip this test alright?”

The moment she said this, all the students of class zero couldn't help but think the same thing.

'Shameless.'

As she brought them to the next testing area, Huang Yu went next to Gu Yue before whispering into her ear. ”Seriously, what was the test?” There was clear humour in his voice.

Gu Yue turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow. ”You really don't know? I thought you were just playing around. Did you not feel something pressing down on you at all?”

”There was a very annoying itch on my head. Does that count?”

”Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan were forced to their knees by that pressure and all you felt was an itch?”

”Yea.”

”...”

The next two trials went pretty smoothly. For the second one, an Earth Rhinoceros came and charged at them but it was stopped dead in its tracks when Huang Yu shot a beam of sword intent through its head.

You'd think that this would be difficult, but in actuality no, it really wasn't for them.

In fact, when Huang Yu walked straight ahead without waiting for Shen Yi, a guillotine blade fell from the ceilings and smashed into him with over thirty thousand newtons of force.

Guess which one broke.

On the other side of the hallway, Shen Yi was gritting her teeth when she remembered what Huang Yu had said when he got hit.

”Not bad. Makes for a nice back massager. Too bad it's just a bit too fragile though.”

Right now, they were at the fourth trial. Instead of a giant hall as they were expecting, this time, it was a giant room.

”Wait here. I'll be going to get this trial's administrators. This trial will test your personal strength so you should bring out your greatest specialties to wow them.” After that, Shen Yi disappeared again.

Not even five minutes later, she had reappeared with three people in tow. Two were middle-aged while the third was an elderly lady, who was known to others as Elder Cai.

Elder Cai held a walking stick in her hand, her gait unsteady as she walked over to a long table and took a seat. The two middle-aged men treated her with respect, sitting down on each side of her after she was seated. Due to this, Shen Yi was left to stand on the side.

”The trial's administrators are here now.” Shen Yi said. ”Which one of you will go first?”

Xie Xie went up first. He went up and introduced himself before showing off his cloning ability. He got an average rating in return along with some feedback for improvement.

Xu Xiaoyan was next. Unlike Xie Xie, she was stopped the moment she finished her introductions. Apparently, her martial spirit was some super rare variation or something so she got a free pass.

When it was Tang Wulin's turn, something pretty interesting happened. He summoned a golden ring before punching out at Elder Cai. Since she was a Titled Douluo, she batted his first few blows aside with relative ease but she didn't stop there as she mocked him continuously throughout the exchanges.

To be honest, when Huang Yu saw this, he really felt that this old lady was one of those people…

You know… the ones you see very often after the young masters shout out, ”Do you know who my father/ancestor/sect is?”
