A high-level joint review in Luyang Mansion ended, and the results of the beast control department assessment were finalized.
Several assistant examiners of the beast control department hurriedly took the red list with large characters and came to the gate of the courtyard to formally post it.
"Ye Fan! Ye Fan won the first place in the beast control department!"
"This is the third top spot he has won. This is our Luyang Mansion's most humble genius in a millennium, Wu Sheng! His name will definitely be written into the local chronicles of Luyang Mansion!"
"I heard that in this beast-controlling examination, five examiners were secretly making trouble and deliberately used an unsolvable stone egg to make things difficult for Ye Fan, hoping to prevent him from winning the first place on the third list."
"How could Shi Dan answer this question? But Ye Fan still managed to answer it, forcing all five examiners to be dismissed."
"Oh my God! This is incredible!"
"This is a miracle from heaven, a sign of great talent in our Luyang Mansion!"
"Ye Fan is a martial arts student taught by Nanchen Martial Arts Academy, one of the top ten martial arts academies. I want to send all my other sons to Nanchen Martial Arts Academy to study!"
Outside the gate of the mansion, candidates and their parents had been waiting for a long time, as well as countless residents of Luyang Mansion watching the excitement.
They had been waiting for most of the day and were already very anxious.
At this time, when I saw the examiner releasing the results and the rankings above, there was a sudden sensation and I was extremely excited.
...
The head of the Zhao family and a group of clan members went out from the side entrance of Luyang Mansion, took several large carriages, and prepared to leave in a low-key manner.
"Hey, Zhao Shulu, your Zhao family's stone egg is still in the examination room! Take it away!"
A young examiner caught up with them and said anxiously.
"Go away! Throw it to the dogs, it's really bad luck!"
Zhao Shulu became angry with embarrassment, cursed angrily, and got into the carriage.
Along the way.
All the Zhao clan members in the carriage were silent and felt embarrassed.
After so much effort, Ye Fan was not stopped. Instead, he was allowed to take the top spot in the four series, which made Zhao Shulu, a member of the Zhao family, lose his identity as the examiner. He stole the chicken but lost the rice.
The most important thing is that the Zhao family's face was also lost in this conflict in the examination room and became the laughing stock of everyone.
Zhao Donglai, the head of the Zhao family, had a gloomy face and was very puzzled.
"How could this happen? This stone egg is an unsolvable test question that we carefully designed and was only delivered to the test room the night before the test. No matter how talented Ye Fan is, he will never be able to complete the test in just two hours. , to identify the detailed answers to all seven aspects of the stone egg. Even if tens of thousands of ancient books were placed in front of Ye Fan, he would not be able to find out the answer to the mammoth stone egg within two hours."
His sharp gaze swept across the clan members, "What exactly is the problem?"
"Master, we don't know this either. It takes a very long time to answer such difficult test questions. Even if we knew what we were going to test in advance, it would still take months or even years to consult ancient books and information. This It cannot be answered in a few hours."
"Our Zhao family has always been impeccable in handling affairs, and there are never any mistakes!"
"I don't know why I fell into a big trap this time."
The clan members lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Zhao Donglai.
They were also very confused in their hearts.
Zhao Feiyang was swept by the stern gaze of the Zhao family leader, and he couldn't help but tremble all over, and his heart was panicked. This matter has a lot to do with him, and the conflict with Mark is caused by him.
Now that the family has taken the initiative and is really angry, it might spread to him.
The whole clan is holding back their anger, like a powder keg ready to explode at any time.
no!
It is necessary to find a scapegoat for the family head and clan members to vent their anger. Otherwise, he will be in big trouble, and he will be burned accidentally!
"Head of the family! I suspect that there is a traitor in our Zhao family! Someone may know what will be tested very early in advance and have enough time to prepare!"
Zhao Feiyang suddenly became angry, looked at Zhao Xing, and asked loudly: "Zhao Xing, it was you who proposed at the family meeting to use stone eggs to give Ye Fan test questions."
"Have you become a traitor and have carefully planned and colluded with Ye Fan a long time ago?!"
"Ye Fan first took the initiative to provoke me and took away my first place in the martial arts department. Then you can be sure that our Zhao family will find ways to deal with him."
"You have colluded with him. You have already prepared a stone egg and sent it to the examination room with the help of our Zhao family. That's why Ye Fan can answer it right away and win the top spot in the beast control department!"
"Otherwise, at the family meeting that day, why would you propose to use stone eggs as test questions? And Ye Fan was in the examination room, and in just two hours, he answered it perfectly without any mistakes?"
In the carriage, all the Zhao clan members suddenly looked at Zhao Xing with suspicion.
Zhao Feiyang's suspicion has very good reasons and is very possible.
Only Zhao Xing could know the "Stone Egg" test question in advance. Ye Fan and Zhao Xing colluded to calculate all this secretly. They had several years to easily check this information.
They took advantage of the Zhao family's anger and used the Zhao family's huge personal network to send Shi Dan into the examination room. Ye Fan identified the stone egg, thus placing Ye Fan at the top of the three rankings in Luyang Mansion's unprecedented history.
Using your opponent to achieve your own goals is simply a perfect conspiracy.
This can explain why Ye Fan solved the unsolvable problem of stone eggs so easily.
"Damn Zhao Xing!"
"It turns out you did everything! You traitor, you deserve to be stabbed a thousand times."
The people of the Zhao clan were furious.
Zhao Xing couldn't help but feel horrified when he saw all the tribesmen looking at him with hostile eyes.
He quickly shouted: "I didn't, cousin Feiyang! I was wronged, and I didn't expect him to answer it. I am a member of the Zhao clan, how could I collude with this kid?!"
"You are still quibbling! Without you colluding with him, no matter how talented Ye Fan is, he would not be able to answer it within two hours."
"That's definitely the case! You are just a side branch of the family and don't get much support from the family, so you hold a grudge and want to curry favor with an outsider and seek greater interests. Ye Fan must have promised you huge benefits to make you like this Do!"
"Zhao Xing, you are the scum of this family! You have given me, the wealthy Zhao family, a powerful opponent in the future!"
Zhao Donglai said coldly: "Take him back to the clan and put him in the clan prison for severe interrogation. If you don't believe him, don't kill him!"
The members of the Zhao clan were instantly outraged, unable to vent their anger. Zhao Shulu was the first to rush forward and beat Zhao Xing violently.
Zhao Feiyang hid in a corner, breathed a sigh of relief, and kept a low profile. The tribe's anger was all vented on Zhao Xing. He finally escaped, but he was a little sorry for his little cousin.
...
In the examination hall of the Fu Yuan, the senior officials of Lu Yang Fu and other people gradually dispersed.
Everyone in the originally lively place dispersed, leaving only Ye Fan standing alone in the empty examination room, his face a little pale.
The previous assessment of the beast control system involved a "Martial Arts Performance" and several "vast years" against five examiners, which consumed Ye Fan too much of his energy and physical strength.
Become a real beast master!
Achieve double rankings in one test, and take the top spot in both the animal control and adventure categories at the same time!
Ye Fan felt a little as if he was dreaming, excited.
But, he is more concerned about another thing.
"Shang, do I have the talent to control beasts?"
Ye Fan said with a glimmer of hope.
Shang regretted: "No! During the entire assessment process, I have been paying attention to your talents in various aspects of the beast control system, but they are seriously low. Without using various techniques in the book, you cannot identify even the lowest level. A level-one first-grade beast egg. Your spiritual perception is weak and it is difficult to communicate with the beast egg. But you don't have to be too sad. There are other series that you haven't tried yet. As you said, there is no perfect path for everyone. , as long as you are not dead, there is still a glimmer of hope, and you can always find some talent highlights by trying more."
Ye Fan's heart was bitter and full of helplessness: "Oh. The martial arts, runes, and beast control exams have been completed, and I have also ranked first in adventure. But until now, I have not found my own talent. The remaining other departments are probably You don't need to take the exam to know what the result will be. Am I really just mediocre in this life?"
"The hope is very slim, let's do our best!"
Shang said bluntly.
Ye Fan nodded, a little disappointed, and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the stone eggs on the examination table.
The hundreds of other beast eggs used for the beast control examination this time were all taken away by the examiners.
These beast eggs are very valuable, ranging from dozens of taels of silver to thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver on the market.
Only the stone egg was abandoned in this examination room by the examiners.
Because it is just a stone, not even a mineral. It cannot be used to refine weapons. It is worthless and has no use.
The Zhao family did not take it away, but the examiners of Luyang Prefecture thought it took up space and left it here, waiting for the servants of the martial arts college who were cleaning up the examination room to clean it out.
Ye Fan came to the side of this mammoth stone egg, stretched out his hand to touch its cold stone shell, and sighed in his heart with great emotion.
This stone egg that brought him to the top of both the first and second exams was just discarded here and treated like waste!
This is so similar to him.
Although it carries so many glorious titles, "mammoth stone egg" and "fossil of an ancient wild beast thousands of years ago".
But in essence, it is useless, just a broken stone, nothing.
Isn't this just like me?
He now carries so much glory with him, such as "The youngest beast master in Luyang Palace!", "Shocking Luyang Palace to the top of the four series!", "Luyang Palace's first genius candidate from a thousand-year-old poor family!".
But stripped of these coats of glory, my talent is just like this stone egg, just a piece of broken stone, useless.
After taking the beast control examination, its use value was completely gone, and the examiners at Luyang Mansion were too lazy to deal with it.
Ye Fan sighed in his heart.
I don't know if I feel sad for myself or for this stone egg.
There are too many similarities between him and this mammoth stone egg. He and Shi Dan have both experienced the despair of being abandoned by the world. They seem to have a lot of honors now, but in fact they are still worthless.
"Shang, is it really dead?"
Ye Fan said.
He knew in his heart that a fossilized egg millions of years ago was already a stone. Just a casual question.
"That's right. He's dead."
Shang hesitated for a moment and said.
