Kapitel 20: Hunting Competition (2)
The academy elder called them one by one, and students went up continuously to collect their primeval stones allowance, and returned to their seats. As always, the fact that Mo Bei and his subordinates earned more primeval stones earned him both admiration and envy from others. However, his little group consisting of Shi Feng, Tang Shi and himself had already proved their strength.
Furthermore, their nightly sessions of wolf hunting had taught them a lot, giving them enough experience to suppress anyone who dared confront them. Of course, most of the students looked at them with admiration, rather than envy. They were the 'chosen ones' in the class, those who did not hesitate to give them pointers whenever they asked.
"Everyone quieten down." After the allowance was given out, the academy elder used his hand to hit the table. All of a sudden, the academy became silent.
"Now, you've all mastered your second Gu worm and even so much as broke through into the middle stage stage for some of you. In the past four months, you have all worked hard, and now you have some basics, it is time for you to train in the wilds. True battles are not fighting with scarecrows or puppets, wooden puppets that stand there and await your attacks"
Mo Bei nodded. The first time he had hunted, he had trouble even targetting the moving and agile wolf. Fortunately, close combat saved him from being eaten, but the difference between class practice and hunting was huge. As time went, he naturally adapted and realized that movements had to be taken into account whenever he shot a moonlight blade, predictions being of utmost importance.
"The following examination, will be held tomorrow, all students have to attend!", the academy elder said, while staring at the 'overlords of the class'. Obviously, he considered Mo Bei and his subordinates not coming to class as laziness or contempt and he could not wait to see their face when they would face real wild beasts, "The examination content is to hunt wild boars. By collecting wild boar teeth as results to record, those who collect the most wild boar teeth will get better scores. At the end of the examination, each wild boar teeth can be exchanged for two primeval stones. Furthermore, you are allowed to hunt in groups. The one with the best scores will be able to earn one Gu Worm from the treasury, free of charge"
The academy elder's words caused a commotion among the students.
"This time, Mo Bei will not be the only one to benefit from this! "
"Every year's students study at the academy for a year, and there is always a mid-year exam and an end of year exam. Looking at the time, they should have advanced the mid-term examination since Mo Bei and the others are so strong already"
"Every year's examination content is different, to think that this year, our examination is to hunt and acquire wild boar tusks...My father told me that when he was in the academy, they had to fight among themselves in groups of three"
"What should we do? My talent is only D grade, my vital Gu isn't an attack-type like the Moonlight Gu, how can I hunt wild boars?", another initial stage student complained
"Didn't you hear, the family elder said, we are allowed to hunt in groups. For those with talent that can't make it, or those with Gu worms that aren't suitable, we can help each other and cooperate! When we get a boar tusk, we just need to share with one another, and that would work", Chi Chen said, reassuring her.
"Each wild boar teeth can be exchanged for one primeval stone, this is the academy encouraging us to hunt more wild boars, and the prize is set for that. For true market value, one primeval stone can buy twenty wild boar tusks after all"
The students had varying expressions, some were happy while other fretted, some were eager to go, while others called on companions, even Mo Bei was slightly moved.
"It changed! We should have had two more months before the mid-term evaluation! Even Fang Yuan, who stimulated the students, did not cause them to advance the time for examination. First, the cave with inheritance collapsed, and now, the boar hunting examination was advanced by two whole months! Is this the butterfly effect?"
A butterfly flapping its wings can cause a giant storm on the coast of another ocean. A small change in the initial conditions lead to drastic changes in the results.
Mo Bei had always been attentive to details and changes in the environment. He knew that every small change could have significant consequences in the future. It was one of the reasons why he had survived in the harsh world of Gu Masters.
"Each wild boar teeth can be exchanged for one primeval stone. This could be a great opportunity to earn some extra resources." Mo Bei thought to himself.
However, he also knew that this exam could be dangerous, especially for those with lower cultivation levels and weaker Gu worms. He needed to be careful and form a strong team to increase his chances of success. Mo Bei's mind was already working on a plan to form a team and strategize for the exam. He was determined to make the most of this opportunity and come out on top.
Naturally, Shi Feng and Tang Shi would be his team members. As for the others, he could only give them advice not to hunt in their area...
