Witnessing the percentage bar completely filled up and show a hundred percent, everyone's eyes widened to the extremes!

The elder couldn't help but gasp as he was having quite the difficulty in believing what had occurred in front of him.

Astes too was shocked very much, and if anyone else from the superior disciples' section was seeing her features right now, they too would've been astounded, because this level of shock was something that the King-level beauty had never shown on her face before.

As everyone was still staring at the orb, the door to the next floor was finally opened as Virus walked out of it and strolled before the elder with the most casual of the expressions.

Seeing his relaxed way of behavior like he had achieved nothing special, everyone felt quite annoyed inside.

The elder though, couldn't help but admire his calm way of behavior even after he had achieved something unbelievable.

IN THE HIGHEST FLOOR OF THE MAIN PAGODA

At the center of the sect, there was a pagoda with the biggest size among all of the pagodas around it.

Currently, inside the highest floor of that pagoda, an old bald man with a very long white beard was sitting with closed eyes as if he was in deep meditation.

There was also a very long scar on the right side of his face which began from his eyebrows and continued to the right side of his mouth with just a few centimeters away from it.

As the old man seemed to be persisting on his peaceful meditation, his eyes abruptly opened in surprise, and soon, a wooden tablet appeared on his hand which was currently glowing with light.

Seeing it, the old man couldn't help himself but mumble, "What's going on...? Why would the sect's main tablet glow with light all of a sudden?"

After Virus came out of the door, everyone changed their gazes from the orb to Virus, with an entirely different look than before he had entered the door.

Before he had entered the door, they all looked at him like they were looking at a crazy person, but now, they were looking at him in shock like a monster was walking in front of them.

Alice who was truly despairing at this point didn't know what to do anymore as she was feeling a very intense grip in her chest, like someone was pressing her chest with all of his might, making it extremely difficult for her to breathe.

At the same time, she kept thinking to herself inside, 'This isn't possible, this is absolutely impossible!'

Afterward, before anyone could say a word, looking at the elder, she broke the silence as she voiced loudly, almost screaming, "Elder... he must have cheated just like how he did in the first evaluation!!! You gotta see that! Expel him... no... you have to kill him as punishment for trying to fool the sect! You know this result is simply something impossible to achieve... or maybe the 'Examination Door' is broken by him..."

Listening to her desperate voice, it was like the other inferior disciples were enlightened all of a sudden as glimmers of understanding passed through their eyes, and some of them also began to voice their minds one by one.

"Oh.. so he cheated on the first examination just like I thought, huh?"

"Is he just a cheater after all? For a second there, I thought he was one of those monsters..."

"This bastard... how does he dare to cheat in front of the pagoda master! He's definitely doomed now!" Another inferior disciple, who was lucky enough in the past to see the pagoda master somewhere, mumbled.

But, as everyone's focus was currently on Virus, their attention wasn't drawn to that particular disciple's words as they didn't even realize it.

Some other disciples also expressed their opinions when the elder finally shouted while staring at Alice, "Silence!"

Hearing the shout, everyone was instantly silenced as they no longer dared to let out any kind of voice whatsoever.

Seeing everyone silent, he uttered, "Junior Alice, what do you take our 'Examination Door' as for?"

After a short pause, he continued, "First, let me begin by saying he didn't cheat in the first evaluation at all and I had clarified that before. Secondly, this 'Examination Door' was set up here by our very first founder in the ancient times... and it has never failed or shown any kind of malfunction to this day... do you really expect this kind of 'Examination Door' to fail to work properly? Do you really think someone would suddenly pop out and be able to cheat now for the first time when no one, not even me or the sect master is able to alter the result in any of the 'Extermination Doors' in the slightest?"

Listening to his words, everyone was suddenly jolted out of their previous state as they began to wonder to themselves, 'That's right... if not even the sect master is capable of cheating or making the door malfunction... then who is this person without any kind of cultivation base in front of us to be able to cheat?... Because that would be the funniest joke ever.'

'Then... don't tell me... he truly is one of those monsters?'

'Then... does that mean that when he was skimming through those books with such a speed... he was actually memorizing them? No...that's impossible right?'

Alice was speechless listening to the elder's explanations. Even though she didn't want to accept his words, she knew he was right and her nonsensical gibberish was just her last ray of hope to be seen as a genius in front of everyone and the elder.

Seeing Alice and the rest of the disciples calm down as they seemed to be able to think clearly for themselves now, the elder changed his line of sight toward Virus and thought, 'He is truly a monster... even though it's still hard for me to believe he had truly achieved this result... there is no way it wasn't correct either...'

Everyone was now looking at Virus, when suddenly they heard a sound from the door which draw their attention to itself, so looking over, they saw the list on the door change by itself as a new name appeared at the highest place of the ranking:

Number one - Vee - [Thousand books] - [Hundred percent of knowledge mastered]

Just looking at this number, everyone's heart couldn't help but begin to pound faster.

The elder too looked at the door before taking it back as he looked at Virus once again and uttered with a grin, "Congratulation Vee Junior, you've truly achieved something that was never seen before by someone at your level of cultivation... just as a mortal..."

Listening to the congratulation, Virus continued his expressionless way of looking at the elder as he lacked any kind of reaction whatsoever.

Witnessing this, not bothered in the least by his behavior as he had seen even weirder people before, the elder continued, "According to the disciples, you've skimmed through every book in the library in almost a day with an extremely fast speed... tell me... were you memorizing every book you saw at that time?"

As the pagoda master waited for Virus' response, he finally received it, "Yes."

Hearing this response, the elder and the others were amazed once more as the elder declared, "If that's true... then... that means... your memory is even stronger and greater than those with the so-called 'Photographic Memory'... because... they can't even compare to half of your capabilities when it comes to the power of memorization and comprehension... they aren't even close."

After a short pause, the elder opened his mouth again with eyes full of admiration as he remarked, "You're truly amazing!"
