BXBX NOVEL Chapter 180 The Master Agrees
William knew this master was just putting out a strong front. Yet in fact he was caring about his disciples. He couldn\'t read through the mind of that master yet, not to understand the logic behind his weird actions, but he got that he meant good.
He even took note of him being a freshman and didn\'t attend his class before. And right now, others would get saved out from this trouble, and wouldn\'t face dropping the year like before.
"This… Isn\'t it bias?" Guanin couldn\'t help but shout, yet when the master\'s eyes glared at him, his body trembled, and his voice faded until he returned to silence.
"What do you say?" the master turned his eyes back to William as he added, "do you accept?"
\'Why not," William shrugged, "I\'m new here. What would make a difference if I failed a year? At least others won\'t get dragged into this."
"Good," the master showed an excited expression on his face, "come then. We will have the test once everyone is here…"
"Brother William, this isn\'t good!" as William stood up for them, others in the group felt warm towards him. Peter was the first to walk to him as he added in grave and serious tone, "this master is insane! In his previous exams, he\'ll give out many unknown things to us in order to make us fail!"
"And you just came here today and didn\'t listen to any of his lessons!" Lang also stepped up and showed a look of worry on his face.
"Don\'t worry, it\'s just a simple test," before Berry would also join them, William casually said before pointing towards the nearby Guanin who had his face all red, "at least I won\'t go down alone, I\'ll drag this piece of sh*t down with me."
"Screw you! Do you think you can harm me like this? Humph! Let\'s see what will happen when I go back and report to the clan. This arrogant bastard won\'t dare to touch a single hair of mine!"
"Let\'s see about it then," William didn\'t say anymore. He got a good impression of that master. He looked tough and harsh, merciless from the surface, but he was doing this for their own good.
It seemed this master realised the importance of the general fighting techniques. Just from the short discussion William had with everyone here, he knew that they were looking down at this class despite its great importance.
So, the master had to pressure them like this to make sure they all got how important this class was.
Besides, William wasn\'t acting suicidal here.
If the test required him to execute the technique, then he wouldn\'t have even thought about standing up and speaking for everyone like he did. However, this was a theoretical test, one that required one to know the knowledge and not execute anything.
So even if he didn\'t learn any common technique yet, he knew all the theories behind almost all the common techniques. And what he knew far surpassed the scoop of this class, even to this master.
William was acting calm, and his provocation succeeded in diverting trouble for others, gaining favour from them, and in return bringing considerable damage to his foe.
Just from what Guanin said, it seemed this kid already lost any hope of surviving this test. It looked like this master was like a grand obstacle that no one had the guts or the ability to trespass it.
But for William, this wasn\'t even considered a hurdle at all.
Disciples started coming in the next ten minutes. During which, William walked down to the stage once more, stood there calmly while not bothering with everything happening around him.
On the other side, the shock these recently joined disciples had during this time was greater. They saw the same two disciples standing against each other, and soon they got to know what happened in their absence.
Despite the chatter among them, William remained calm while Guanin already had a sour look on his face.
"Now, it\'s time to conduct my test…" the master spoke, and once he did, silence prevailed.
Everyone was holding his breaths and watching the downfall of these two. In their eyes, William did great before and pulled a miracle by crushing Guanin in alchemy.
However, this time was different. They were facing the ruthless master, the one who used to kill any spirit master\'s dreams.
So, the result was expected, and the audience here was just looking at the two as if they were at their funeral.
"The first question goes for Guanin…" the tone of the master showed how excited he was.
He asked Guanin about a random technique, and the latter failed to describe everything about it. In fact, Guanin didn\'t place any hope about getting out of this unscathed.
He was just like everyone else here, not placing any great importance on common techniques, not caring about even studying them diligently for the class.
He knew in such a test; he\'d end up failing to answer a few questions perfectly. And that didn\'t bother him. As he said it, once he\'d return back to the clan, he\'d have a word with the patriarch and let him solve this problem for him.
"Fail!" the master shook his head before turning to William while adding, "each of you will have ten questions. Failing one for that kid means he can\'t fail again. You can fail four questions and still survive this. So, tell me about the scorching fist technique."
