Chapter 562: That’s Just the Way He Is

“Xiao Wu, you have extensive knowledge of formations and cultivation theories, and you gave the correct answer to every single question on those subjects. However, when it comes to subjects you haven’t delved into, you don’t know the answers.”

Feng Wu nodded earnestly. The old man was right.

“That means it’ll be very difficult for you to improve. So many subjects are covered and there’s so much you’ll need to learn. You won’t have time to remember all the books. My advice is that you should give up on this section.” Grand Secretary Fang was very straightforward.

But Feng Wu only frowned. She didn’t want to give up.

Grand Secretary Fang went on flipping through the exam paper. “You got full marks in section four.”

He gave Feng Wu a strange look. “Apart from ice, do you know the other elements as well?”

Because her beautiful master had explained to her the elemental laws from a strategic point of view, to show Feng Wu a big picture of the entire continent —

Feng Wu nodded. “Yes.”

For the moment, Grand Secretary Fang decided to take her word for it, though he didn’t actually believe her.

For he himself who had studied the elemental laws for so many years still had a lot more to learn, even at this age. She was only 13. How much could she know?

Little did Grand Secretary Fang know that Feng Wu had been taught by the most formidable person to have ever existed on this continent.

“Because of your skills in formation and medicine refinement, you got full marks in section five as well.”

Grand Secretary Fang let out a sigh of relief after the analysis. “Therefore, your main problem is memorizing the content tested in sections one and two. So —”

Grand Secretary Fang took a booklet from the old steward and handed it to Feng Wu. “Here’s the book list. Remember everything in every book and you should be able to get into the top 1000.”

“What if…” Feng Wu asked. “What if I want to get full marks in section three as well…”

Grand Secretary Fang gave her a strange look. “Kiddo, you only have less than seven days.”

Other people started preparing for this exam pretty much the moment they were born. It would take them at least ten years as they made their way through junior and intermediate schools before they got to the actual exam.

And Feng Wu only had seven days.

“That’s why I said ‘what if.’” Feng Wu smiled.

“If you still have time after memorizing those 1000 books —” Grand Secretary Fang glanced at the old steward.

The old steward went to the bookshelf at the back of the room and brought back a small wooden box.

“I know. She’ll need to memorize everything in the booklets in that box, right?” Chaoge’s eyes sparkled.

Grand Secretary Fang was speechless.

He turned to Feng Wu. “There are ten booklets here, and they all just contain book titles. Each booklet is an extensive reading list for one subject: in total, 10,000 books are mentioned here. And you only have seven days.”

Feng Wu nodded. “I’ll read them if I have time.”

She was certain that given Jun Linyuan’s temperament, he would only come up with new ways to make her life harder. That was just the way he was. So, Feng Wu wanted to make sure that she was ready for anything.

Grand Secretary Fang nodded. He then turned to Chaoge and he sighed again.

Chaoge said, “I – I’ll start reading, too… I’ll read them all!”
