Because there was no one around, Ye Yu chose to spread out his soul power to search. The fighting skills given by Mittel were incomplete, so it was difficult for him to distinguish them.
But after all, he was practicing earth-level techniques and fighting skills, so he still had a lot of advantages over those who came to take the test and had never seen those profound-level techniques and fighting skills.
Ye Yu walked along the way and checked through these short scrolls. He only selected a few scrolls about profound martial arts and fighting skills, but he could not see anything.
"I found you, kid! I've been waiting for you in the square for so long! You caused my brother to damage items and lose a lot of points. You look like you have some talent. How about you hand over the items honestly? That way, even if you can't become a deacon, my two brothers can still take care of you. Otherwise, it won't be so easy when I take action."
Time passed, and with only a few minutes left before the end of the assessment, a burly man appeared from behind the shelf, carrying a huge axe on his back, followed by the mercenary who was kicked away by him.
The big man and his mercenaries wanted to surround Ye Yu between the shelves.
"Do you two brothers always look like this when you go out?" Ye Yu unnoticedly distanced himself from the big man. It was very easy for him to defeat the great fighting master, but that would require at least black flame or earth-level fighting skills, which would undoubtedly be too dazzling.
"Humph! Are you scared now? How dare you be so arrogant just now!"
The mercenary shouted, and with the support of the great fighting master's elder brother, he completely forgot that he was kicked away. Seeing Ye Yu retreat, he thought Ye Yu was afraid and followed him with big strides.
His eldest brother is a great fighting master, and he may have the opportunity to become a fighting spirit in the future. Many families in the city treat them as guests of honor, and no one dares to treat him with such contempt, so he wants revenge.
In the corner, Elder Su, who had followed over, was leaning against the bookshelf and carefully watching the scene. He had originally followed over hoping to find something valuable in exchange from the things the kid had read, but he didn't expect to run into the great fighting master who had come to seek revenge on the kid.
Seeing the mercenary approaching Ye Yu step by step, Elder Su thought that Ye Yu was doomed. With a Grand Fighter watching him, this kid would not dare to move no matter what. He knew best the gap between a Grand Fighter and a Fighter. However, when he saw Ye Yu raising his hand, he felt that this scene was vaguely familiar.
"Thunder Palm!"
Seeing the approaching mercenary, Ye Yu chose to use an "ordinary" Xuan-level fighting skill that would not make people suspect his identity, and pulled the mercenary back into his eldest brother's arms with one palm. Many scrolls on the shelves next to him fell to the ground, but they were not destroyed like the pills.
"you!"
The big fighting master's eyes widened. He didn't expect that the boy was so arrogant that he dared to hit his own brother in front of him.
"Could it be that this boy is really a disciple of a powerful person in the Jia Ma Empire?"
After all, he had been a mercenary for many years, and he had only heard that his brother was ambushed and lost points due to damaged items. However, when he saw that the other party was so young and had the ability to beat his useless brother to death, he began to have doubts in his heart.
He was not as impulsive as his brother. Having been a mercenary for so many years, he knew best that some strong men liked to secretly train disciples and let them hide their strength, calling it training. When he saw Ye Yu, he thought of this possibility, and kept analyzing in his mind who he was most likely to be a disciple of.
He was once beaten up by a Dou Wang disciple of the Izumo Empire during an escort mission. He knew very well how despicable those who pretend to be pigs and eat the tigers are!
"Brother! Why don't you do it?" The mercenary was helped up, covering his eyes with a mixture of blood, tears and saliva, looking at his brother aggrievedly.
"Shut up!" the big man shouted.
Originally thinking that the big man was coming to avenge the mercenaries, Ye Yu began to make seals with his hands, but halfway through he found that the big man did not react, but just stared at him and frowned.
"Huh? There was no fight? Could it be that the great fighter knew that guy? Does he really have some kind of identity?" Elder Su, who was watching the fight, wondered.
"Reminder, there is only one minute left before the end of the assessment. If you do not submit the items before the end, it will be considered as giving up the assessment!"
When the atmosphere on the field was becoming increasingly weird, the servant beside Leo broke the atmosphere with a loudspeaker.
"Let you go!"
The big man looked at Ye Yu deeply, then helped the mercenary brother away.
"Brother, he has the Qi Gathering Powder... I don't have enough points..."
The mercenary spoke vaguely, saying that he had brought his elder brother here to seek revenge but ended up getting hit hard. He wanted to turn back but was pulled away by his elder brother.
"I have robbed several people's stuff here, barely enough for you to pass the test."
"There actually wasn't a fight!" Elder Su exclaimed.
Ye Yu glanced at the two brothers who were leaving and felt puzzled. Was there really someone who came here just to be slapped? But it was a good thing that his soul skills had not been exposed yet.
At the assessment, Leo looked at the big man with a huge axe on his back and nodded continuously. The other party had the highest cultivation among the people participating in the assessment. If he sincerely worked for him, he could help him break through and become a Douling, which would be a great help at that time.
"I speculate that this volume of skills is a mid-level Xuan-level skills, and the most suitable attribute should be water attribute..."
"Congratulations, the results of the Xuan-level intermediate technique you selected are valid. With the addition of the third-level Qi-recovery pill and a plant of black gastrodia, your points are currently ranked first, with 250 points!"
At the servant's announcement, the big man laughed triumphantly.
"Hello, these are my items!" At another table, Ye Yu handed the three items he had chosen to the staff.
"Although the peach-patterned purple leaf has a narrow range of uses, it can be used as the main ingredient for the fifth-tier elixir, Light Spirit Wind Pill, and is worth 100 points. This broken jade slip and this stone... after our appraisal, they are only worth 2 points. You need to tell me the value of the items, otherwise I can only treat them as 2 points."
"What's wrong? Why does the settlement take so long?" Leo came over, the joy on his face still not fading because he was able to gain a great fighting master as his subordinate.
"Reporting to the elder, this contestant selected two items whose value cannot be identified."
"Oh? Taowen Ziye, you are the one who chose the Soul Gathering Powder and the fifth-level medicinal materials? How come you found something more valuable than the Soul Gathering Powder?" Leo looked at Ye Yu with interest.
The commotion here attracted the attention of the other participants in the assessment. Elder Su came to the front of the stage first. He had long been curious about what could have made this kid give up the Qi Gathering Powder.
"You're just being mysterious! I'm afraid the Qi Gathering Powder was stolen so he just picked up two random items to make up the number." The mercenary, who was tied up like a pig's head, couldn't speak clearly but still made sarcastic remarks.
"I have seen a jade slip with similar material before. It is used to record one-time pill recipes for transactions, so I guess this jade slip also has it. It needs to be burned by a pharmacist with flames. Then we will know whether it is true or not."
Ye Yu was not lying. In ancient times, alchemists did use jade slips as tools for communication, but they usually had restrictions. The restrictions on this jade slip had disappeared, leaving only the techniques and materials for alchemy, and the rest were already blurred.
