“Insolent! How can you insult Master Pingyang?” Qin Lin’s eyes flared with anger as he glared at Xia Qingchen.

Since he already knew the reason, Xia Qingchen couldn’t be bothered to waste words with him. “Enough, stop treating an utterly worthless thing as your superior.”

After speaking, he was only concerned with finding a quiet corner to cultivate.

Qin Lin was so angry that his eyes were wide open. Xia Qingchen’s eyes basically didn’t have him as a martial tutor at all!

“Fine, since you are so difficult to teach, from today onward, you don’t need to accept my teachings! I want to see how you will pass the martial theory test three days later!” Qin Lin coldly spoke.

If one thought that everything was over once they entered the martial pavilion, they would be dreaming.

Every month, the martial pavilion would organize a martial theory test.

This was to see if the students had been paying attention to the guidance of the martial tutors or not.

For people like Xia Qingchen who was late in entering here for three months, if he still didn’t listen to the martial tutors, he would definitely fail for sure.

And if he failed, there was a possibility that he might be expelled from the martial pavilion.

Xia Qingchen completely didn’t care at all. Would he need a student of Master Pingyang to guide his cultivation?

He shook his head then chose a quiet place to sit. After consuming one portion of the Dragonblood Powder, he started to use the essence qi here to cultivate.

As the streams of essence qi entered his nine major meridians and minor meridians, his inner force began to grow bit by bit.

Three days later, he successfully cleared three more minor meridians.

“Although the effect isn’t as good as under that tree in the Shrine, it’s already considered not bad.” Xia Qingchen didn’t wish to stop.

In a month, he could clear a major meridian and ten minor meridians.

According to this speed, not even half a year would be needed and he would break through to the middle constellation stage.

“Xia Qingchen, your test paper!” At this moment, Liu Yiyi who was in the same class unhappily walked out and passed the test paper to Xia Qingchen.

What test paper?

He looked at it and discovered that it was the test paper designated for students of the D Class, which was tutored by Qin Lin.

Picking up the test paper and casually flipping through it, Xia Qingchen mumbled in a low voice, “So simple? This doesn’t seem to be a test paper.”

Liu Yiyi, who had turned and was walking away, almost stumbled the moment she heard this.

She swiftly turned her head back. “I admit that your strength is very strong. But please do not act imposingly for the sake of doing so, alright? You will only make people loathe you more!”

So simple?

When she looked through the paper, the majority of the questions were things she didn’t know of.

Even Wang Chao, who often scored first, only understood half of this test paper’s content.

As long as one could get one-tenth of it correct, they would have passed.

Yet, Xia Qingchen actually said this was so simple?

If one said that he didn’t say this for the sake of attracting attention, what could he be doing it for then?

Xia Qingchen was speechless. He truly felt it was very simple. To him, this test paper was like a series of mathematical questions asking him to count from one to ten before an adult.

He ignored the angry girl. Xia Qingchen lifted his pen and wrote smoothly on the paper. He didn’t even need to think about it.

Even before the time taken for half an incense stick to burn, he already completed it.

He closed the test paper and went to hand it up into the sealed box before Qin Lin.

The test paper would be marked by four separate martial tutors of the martial academy’s upper court to prevent favoritism.

It would be difficult even if Qin Lin wanted to play some tricks.

“You finished it so quickly?” Qin Lin was startled. The other students were still squeezing their brain juice out to answer the first question, yet Xia Qingchen had already completed his whole paper?

By handing up the test paper now, the only possibility was that he had written nonsense or he hadn’t done any questions, leaving them blank.

Xia Qingchen acted like he didn’t hear anything. He returned to his original location and continued with his cultivation.

“This brat, if he doesn’t break his head by ramming into a wall, he wouldn’t turn back!” Qin Lin had been waiting for Xia Qingchen to express his regret and come to beg him for guidance.

But even after three days had passed, Xia Qingchen was still in the same meditative position as he continued to cultivate.

“It is still early. When the results are out, you would then learn what regret is.” Qin Lin quietly waited to watch a good show.

Two days later.

The test papers of the four classes were swapped and marked; all the results were placed before the Vice Headmaster. So, even the martial tutor of each class had no idea how well their class had done.

In a cozy room.

The martial tutors of the A, B, C, and D class were all gathered here.

They were waiting for the Vice Headmaster to announce the results and give different degrees of rewards and punishment.

This was also the toughest period for Qin Lin every month.

Because with no exception, the D class would always be ranked at the bottom every month. He would always be criticized by the Vice Headmaster and his monthly salary would be deducted.

However, he was helpless. Too many students in the D class were those who were ignorant and incompetent and only managed to enter the martial pavilion due to their connections.

Leaving aside their talent in the martial dao, they didn’t even have the heart to accept guidance.

This was especially so for the newly arrived Xia Qingchen. Most probably, he didn’t even write a single word in the test paper or he wrote nonsense.

Later on, the Vice Headmaster was definitely going to criticize him about this.

Just thinking about it caused Qin Lin to have a headache.

“Martial tutor Li Weifeng. The test paper this time around is so difficult. Most probably, only those geniuses in your A class can comprehend them.”

Li Weifeng’s thick brows were squeezed together as he smiled. “Martial tutor Jia Heyun, there’s no lack of geniuses in your B class either. After every test, the results they have aren’t much weaker than the A class.”

“Ai, you tutors from the A and B class are considered good. The results of my C class, sigh… It’s hard to explain in a few words.” The martial tutor of the C class, Zhen Feng, sighed.

Li Weifeng and Jia Heyun cast over a gaze of consolation.

It was true that the results of the C class were far inferior when compared to the A and B classes.

But out of the four of them, the most depressed one was Qin Lin.

In truth, the results of the D class were much worse compared to the C class.

However, the three martial tutors didn’t even take the D class into consideration.

Because the D class wasn’t qualified to be compared with them at all.

BOOM!

The Vice Headmaster took a pile of test papers over. After he sat down, his expression was heavy.

The four martial tutors didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly. They knew that the Vice Headmaster was somewhat unhappy after knowing the results.

“This time, the results of the four classes were abysmal!” the Vice Headmaster stiffly spoke.

The four tutors lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

“There were only 30 people who passed, not even 10% of the students!” The Vice Headmaster continued in a strict tone, “This is one of the worst results since the beginning of our history!”

Qin Lin silently mused that he was finished. Most probably, not even a single student passed in his D class.

“But what made me feel gratified was that there’s a class that ought to be praised.” The moment the Vice Headmaster said this, his expression clearly eased up quite a lot.

Qin Lin and the other two turned their gazes to Li Weifeng.

Li Weifeng heaved a sigh of relief. There was joy in his eyes as he waited for the Vice Headmaster’s praise.

Who knew that the eyes of the Vice Headmaster would turn to Qin Lin instead. He smiled. “The class is the D class Qin Lin is in charge of!”

After a short stint of silence, sparse applause then sounded.

They were all used to the A, B, and C class being praised. In fact, this was the first time the D class had been praised. This was why the response was a little slow.

Qin Lin himself was startled. Under the applause and under the gaze of the Vice Headmaster, he felt a little overwhelmed by favor.

He initially thought he would be harshly criticized. Why did it suddenly become a praise?

However, he saw the Vice Headmaster smiling. “There’s one thing that the academy kept it from all of you. This test paper was from the martial pavilion in the imperial capital.”

There were a total of eighteen cities in the Divinebloom Duchy, and each city had a martial pavilion.

The imperial capital was of no exception as well.
