Chapter 283: Altar of Taste

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Inside the altar of taste.

Liu Yan and the other students had already entered the altar of taste along with their teacher, Chu Xuan.

Within the altar, there were hundreds of rivers.

Every river looked the same, without any difference.

However, according to Chu Xuan’s words, these hundreds of rivers were all different. The students needed to state the characteristics of the rivers to pass this trial.

“How exactly does this say what happened?”

“Yeah, it’s too difficult. To know the characteristics of the river by tasting its water is too tough.”

“We can only tell the difference from the taste of the rivers. Sigh, this trial is a little difficult.”

“Yeah, this trial is too difficult.”

“Sigh. I have to spout some nonsense to pass the trial.”

…

The group of students felt a little troubled.

However, time did not wait. The trials began very quickly, and the students walked forward helplessly.

The first student tasted the river water, closed his eyes, and carefully felt it for a while. He explained, “The river water is a little salty. It should have passed through a metal mine. In addition, the river water is a little cold. It should belong to an underground river. It has not gone through almost any sunlight. Finally, the river water has the smell of soil. The soil must have mixed into the river when the river passed through a buffer zone.”

After saying that, the student looked at Chu Xuan nervously. He did not know if what he said was right or if it was enough to pass this trial.

The other students also looked at their teacher Chu Xuan, curious about that student’s final result.

At this moment, the ground beneath the student’s feet lit up with a blue light.

When Chu Xuan saw this, he nodded slightly and said, “The display of the blue light shows that what you said is correct. The content of what you reported was relatively short, but it’s not too bad. You have passed the trial with a final score of 100 points!”

When the first student heard this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

His score was not high, not even reaching the average score. Nevertheless, it was fortunate that he had passed this trial. It was enough.

Fortunately, his overall score for the first three trials was still acceptable. If he worked hard during the last altar trial, he should be able to pass the trials on the fourth level of the Tower and smoothly head to the fifth level.

When the other students saw this, they also heaved a sigh of relief.

It did not seem to be very difficult. The first student did not have a corresponding special skill either. He was just more sensitive in the sense of taste, and he could describe the characteristics of the river.

Although the final score was not high, he passed the trial this round.

“Looks like this trial isn’t that difficult.”

“Yeah, if you taste it well and describe the accurate characteristics of the river, you’ll be able to pass the trial.”

“So it wasn’t as hard as we thought.”

“It doesn’t seem very difficult. Looks like it is the simplest trial.”

…

Very soon, the trial continued.

The second student went forward. Just like the first student, after drinking the river water, he also tasted it carefully.

But the second student’s expression was a little flustered compared to the first student.

After hesitating shortly, he said, “The river is a little sweet. It should have passed through the grass. Then the river is a little hot. The river should have exposure to the sun. Finally, I feel that the river is filled with the smell of metal. Someone must have fought in the river?”

As the second student finished speaking, the altar under his feet lit up with a red light.

Chu Xuan saw this and shook his head helplessly. “There are lies in your description. You are eliminated!”

Everyone was a little surprised when they saw this.

It was obvious the first and second students had said the same thing, but the results were completely different.

The first student passed the trial, but the second student was eliminated. What kind of situation was this? Everyone was puzzled.

Soon, a few more students went up to the trial.

Some did not say much, but they passed the trial. It was just that their scores were not high.

Some said more, but they lit up with a red light and were eliminated.

Seeing this, Liu Yan gradually understood the situation.

In short, they could not lie.

Even if they had fewer things to say, as long as what they said was true, they would generally be able to pass the trial. It was just that their scores were relatively low.

However, if they lied or made mistakes, they would be eliminated.

In short, it was not difficult to pass the trial in this trial. One only needed to properly taste the river water and say what had happened to that river. Generally, they would be able to pass the trial.

However, it was harder to obtain high marks.

It was much more difficult to obtain high scores.

At this moment, the surrounding students of the Gifted Academy also understood the situation.

“Looks like we can’t make any mistakes.”

“That’s right, if we make a single mistake, the red light will light up beneath us, and we will be directly eliminated.”

“Looks like we have to seek stability and only say the characteristics of the river that we confident of. We cannot make any mistakes or lies, or we will be directly eliminated.”

“In that case, it is not difficult to pass this trial. It is harder to obtain high marks.”

“Fortunately, my previous marks were not bad. It is fine if my marks are lower in this trial. I need to pass this trial.”

…

The students discussed it among themselves. After understanding the rules, they heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Liu Yan was in a difficult position.

Passing the trial was not hard for Liu Yan, but Liu Yan did not just want to pass the trial.

Liu Yan always wanted to obtain a high score or even the highest score.

After all, only by obtaining the highest score could one obtain the sacrificial gemstones of this round of altar of taste.

Previously, Liu Yan had already obtained three sacrificial gemstones. As long as he got the sacrificial gemstones of the last two altars, he would be able to gather five sacrificial gemstones. In the end, he would obtain a surprise.

Liu Yan carefully thought of a solution.

After thinking about it, it seemed that Liu Yan could only rely on his own body.

After reconstructing his body, he had become much more perfect in all aspects.

Other than his talent becoming much stronger, he had also improved significantly in all aspects of his senses. His sense of taste was one of them.

Liu Yan believed that with his powerful sense of taste, he would be able to obtain quite a high score.

However, it was not ideal to only use his sense of taste to obtain the highest score.

Previously, there were a few students who had special skills. They described many characteristics of the rivers and instantly obtained a high score.

Although they were only a few, they were still a strong competitor for Liu Yan.

Moreover, Allen Smith and Xu Han might also obtain a high score.

However, Liu Yan thought for a while. He had a bunch of skills but mostly were combat skills.

Other than combat skills, there were limited special skills, but they could not help Liu Yan in this trial.

For a moment, Liu Yan could not think of any way to get the highest marks in this trial.

However, at this moment, Treasure Pangolin transmitted a thought.

Through telepathy, Liu Yan quickly understood the meaning of Treasure Pangolin and its reminder.

Immediately, Liu Yan’s eyes lit up.
