Chapter 1510 Tit for Tat
"Newcomers behind, come and collect the inscription assessment materials. Situ Reading.\nCOM"
After waiting for a while, an old man with gray hair and beard came out from the inner room. He was wearing a black robe and a shining inscription master badge on his chest with four golden lines on it.
The old man had slightly high cheekbones, a thin body, and a bit of aura of majesty between his eyebrows. He should be the Master Cheng Yuanhe mentioned by Qiluo.
Ye Feng hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully to the old man, "I pay my respects to Master Cheng."
"Um... your name is Ye Feng, from Diyuan Sect?"
"Uh... have you never participated in any inscription master assessment before?"
Master Cheng frowned after glancing at the registration information Qiluo handed over.
It is rare to directly cross the level to participate in the assessment, and directly take the third-grade assessment.
The path of an inscription master needs to be down-to-earth, study hard, and cross the level to participate in the assessment, and most of them fail. If Ye Feng had not paid 10 million spirit stones, they would have thought he was joking.
Master Cheng's words immediately attracted strange looks from the people around him.
There were surprises, disdain, and of course, admiration.
Even the Gu sisters from Tianyuan Sect couldn't help but glance at Ye Feng subconsciously.
"But... since you have passed the jade tablet test at the entrance of the guild, and have paid 10 million spirit stones to complete the registration, then... take the test with them."
"Here are the inscription materials for you, a total of three copies, the test time is one hour, and the test can be declared over if it is completed ahead of schedule or the materials are used up."
"Of course, completing it ahead of schedule is a success, and running out of materials is a failure..."
Master Cheng introduced the content of the test to Ye Feng.
"Wait!"
Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man on the right stood up.
This person glanced at Ye Feng with disgust, his expression was not friendly: "Master Cheng, is it a bit inappropriate to let a guy who is not even an inscription apprentice take the inscription master examination with us?"
"Li Lushan is right. This person should take the examination one level at a time. After all, those who can become inscription masters are all people of status. It is not good to take the examination with some ignorant people."
"Well, I also think this move is inappropriate..."
"Pulling up the seedlings to help them grow, and it will bring bad atmosphere."
"..."
The middle-aged man took the lead in raising objections, which immediately triggered a wave of unfriendly voices around.
Ye Feng's face sank slightly.
I... really encountered an unexpected disaster. I clearly completed the jade tablet test according to the requirements and paid 10 million spirit stones. There was nothing wrong with the rules, but I attracted a lot of hostility for no reason.
But think about it, it is true. Inscription masters are all high and mighty, thinking they are superior to others. How could they take him, a little warrior who is not even an inscription apprentice, seriously?
"Boy, tell me the truth, did you get in through the back door? Has your mental power reached the ninth level? This is the minimum requirement for participating in the third-grade assessment."
Li Lushan walked past the crowd and went directly to Ye Feng, looking down at him.
"These... don't seem to have anything to do with you, right?"
Being picked on like this, Ye Feng's face also fell.
He is not a soft persimmon that can be rubbed at will.
"The Diyuan Sect is getting more and more arrogant now, even my Tianyuan Sect can't stand it. Boy, do you know who I am? I am an outer disciple of the Tianyuan Sect. Logically, you should salute me."
Unexpectedly, Ye Feng dared to contradict him. Li Lushan's face changed immediately and he shouted in a cold voice.
"If I remember correctly, this is the Inscription Master Guild, not your Tianyuan Sect. The person in charge should be Master Cheng, right?"
"What? Are you going to take over the responsibility and show off your power in the Inscription Master Guild?"
Ye Feng snorted coldly and fought back calmly.
"You..."
Li Lushan was choked. He really didn't dare to act rashly in the Inscription Master Guild.
With narrowed eyes, he turned to look at Cheng Yuanhe and said, "Master Cheng, I have some doubts about this kid. He should be tested in public. If he doesn't even reach the ninth level, there is no need to test him, so as not to waste everyone's time."
"Yes, that's right."
"Until the ninth level, we are ashamed to test him together..."
Others nodded in agreement.
Although Ye Feng said that he had passed the jade tablet test at the door, these people were skeptical and thought that Ye Feng came in through the back door.
"Haha, okay, this is indeed the first time I have encountered such a situation today. Ye Feng, do you have any objections?"
Cheng Yuanhe nodded slightly.
He and Ye Feng were strangers, and the people in this hall all had impressive backgrounds. Naturally, the Inscription Master Guild would choose to befriend the latter.
"All is up to Master Cheng's arrangement."
Ignoring the aggressive gazes of the crowd, Ye Feng bowed calmly to Cheng Yuanhe.
"Hmph, kid, I'll show you a demonstration first. The ninth-level mental strength requires the mental power to be completely orange-yellow, not even a bit lighter."
Without waiting for Ye Feng to speak, Li Lushan took a step forward, slowly raised his hands, and a surge of mental power suddenly rushed out of his forehead.
With a bang, most of the palace was filled with orange-yellow, and there was also a faint hint of light green in it.
"Oh my..."
"Long time no see, Old Li, you have the sign of breaking through to the tenth level."
"No wonder you are so persistent, it turns out you want to show off your mental strength in front of us, you are really showing off."
"..."
Seeing the green luster that Li Lushan inspired, several envious voices came from the crowd.
The change from orange-yellow to green is the sign of the transition from the ninth level to the tenth level, which also means that the possibility of him passing the assessment this time is a few points greater than that of ordinary people.
Li Lushan showed a smug smile in his eyes, and looked at Ye Feng coldly with the look of a superior, trying to see shock in the latter's eyes.
But he was disappointed.
That stupid boy actually stood there quietly, without even blinking his eyelids.
Damn... Doesn't this kid know what the orange and yellow mixed with a hint of light green symbolizes?
"Boy, it's your turn!"
Li Lushan, who had withdrawn his mental power, spoke with a bit of chillness.
Let's see how long he can keep pretending...
"Okay."
Ye Feng stepped forward, gestured with his hand, and said to Li Lushan with a provocative look, "Please move aside, lest I be incapable of retracting my hand and accidentally hurt you."
"Hahaha..."
"This kid is quite humorous. He must be at least in the middle or late stage of the King Realm to be able to hurt me with his mental power. There must be few of you in the outer sect of the Diyuan Sect."
With a casual grin, Li Lushan wanted to retreat, but after hearing what Ye Feng said, he stuck his feet on the ground like iron pillars and didn't move a step.
Many other people frowned at Ye Feng's words.
This young man was a little too arrogant.
Li Lushan didn't care, but just didn't want to lower his status.
Even Cheng Yuanhe, who was in charge of the assessment, glanced at Qiluo quietly, with a little displeasure on his face. The latter immediately froze. She had not expected that Mr. Ye, who had always been polite, would suddenly become so fierce.
Master Cheng... You are blaming yourself...
