Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system

The entire room was bustling with Cultivators belonging to various sects and families, excited murmurs could be heard from every corner of the room which made the atmosphere of the room very lively, Wang Ming ignored everything and silently took a seat waiting for the arrival of the examiner

After waiting for some time in silence the door which had been closed was pushed open and an elderly man with a white beard arrived in the middle of the room accompanied by two bulky-looking men,  most of the Cultivators immediately quietened down in response

' Soul Eyes' Wang Ming silently activated his skill to check the elderly man

' Hmm, even though he has such low Cultivation he is still worthy of admiration for being a 3-star Alchemist, moreover having such powerful bodyguards he would not have to be worried about his safety ' Wang Ming silently thought inside his mind

The man named, Ning Chu silently swept through the crowd with his eyes, as his gaze stopped on one particular group of Cultivators who completely ignored the arrival of the man as they continued to gossip in loud voices which caused his eyebrows to frown in annoyance

" You three over there, leave the hall immediately, I am expelling you from taking the exam"  the man pointed to the three men who were glaring at him

" Do you know who the hell I am old man?" the man in the middle, presumably the leader of the group spoke in a haughty tone

" I do not give a fart as to who you are, did you not check the rules which clearly state that after the examiner arrives the participants are to remain completely silent, you broke the rules so I am free to expel you" Ning Chu said with indifference

" How dare you speak to the young master like that old fart?" one of the lackeys spoke in a voice full of anger

" Our young master is from a prestigious Alchemy family" the other lackey spoke

" Alchemy Family??" Ning Chu frowned

" That's right, my name is Su Lie and I come from the Su Family, my family had a 4-star Alchemy master and many 3-star Alchemy masters in the past, if you go down on your knees and beg for my forgiveness I will not complain about you to the Hall Master" Su Lie said arrogantly as Wang Ming stared at Su Lie as if he was an idiot

' He's finished' Wang Ming thought in his mind when he saw the change of expression on the old man's face

" What is the use of past glory, from what I have heard your family has only a single 2-star Alchemist in the family presently, right?" Ning Chu ridiculed as he continued to speak

" Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Ning Chu, a 3-star Alchemist, and the Vice Hall Master" Ning Chu said with a smile and Su Lie who heard him turned pale in fright

" You two, drag them out of the hall and throw them on the street after giving them a good beating " Ning Chu said as the two bodyguards disappeared from the place and dragged Su Lie and his lackeys outside who were screaming

After some time both of the bodyguards returned to Ning Chu's side with stacks of books in their hands

" Alright, we have wasted enough time, let me explain to you the contents of the exam" Ning Chu said as all eyes were drawn towards him

" Listen closely, each one of you shall be handed a random book which is filled with one hundred questions. Each question tests the basic knowledge of a Cultiavor required for becoming an Alchemist, mind you this is not the first round but an elimination round that will weed out the delusional people who think Alchemy is child's play, and you have to at least answer fifty questions, remember the more questions you get correct the better are the chances for participating in the exam and only the top fifty will be allowed to partake in the assessment exam" Ning Chu explained as the entire atmosphere became tense and some of them were on the verge of passing out in nervousness, on the other hand, Wang Ming was calm

" You two, distribute the books" Ning Chu signaled as both of his bodyguards started to pass the books to the participants, they checked their tokens before handing them the book

When one of the bodyguards came to Wang Ming's side, his expression changed to disgust when they saw the information on his token but Wang Ming ignored him

Wang Ming grabbed the pen that was provided by the hall as his gaze swept across the questions in the book. His mouth curled upwards when he saw the questions. This was too easy for him due to the information provided by the system when he bought the Alchemy techniques, it was like an 8-star Alchemy master looking at the questions of a normal cultivator who is trying to learn Alchemy

" Alright, everyone now that you have received the book, let me inform you that you all have only an hour to finish the exam, after the time is up or if you have finished before the time, hand the book to me and leave the room silently as to not disturb the others, remember if I find anyone cheating he or she will be banned from becoming an Alchemist again" Ning Chu announced which caused an uproar among the participants

" How can this be?"

" It's not possible to attempt all the questions in the given time"

" You are worried about whether you can attempt all the questions or not, I am worried if I can complete the compulsory fifty questions"

" We need more time, one hour is not enough"

" That's right we need more time"

The participants started to shout in indignant which caused Ning Chu's eyebrows to twitch in annoyance

" Silence, if you cannot complete such simple questions in this allocated time you don't deserve to be an Alchemist, now shut up and start answering the questions or I will kick you out" Ning Chu said loudly which caused everyone to shut their mouth in fear as they quickly started answering the questions

As soon as Wang Ming heard Ning Chu telling them to start answering, Wang Ming started answering the questions quickly

The first question was how to properly store the ingredients for concocting a pill so that they remain fresh until used later, the second question was asking how to properly use a cauldron when concocting a pill, these were some of the easy questions which everyone could answer with ease

Starting from the 31st question it became a bit difficult for Cultivators who did not take Alchemy seriously, questions like for example, How many types of spirit grass are there and how can you identify each one of them or describe the process of concocting a rank 1 body refinement pill, many nervous expression could be seen among the crowd as they tried to attempt questions beyond the 31st

Wang Ming was answering every question swiftly and with ease, as he arrived at the last 3 questions which were possible for only a 3-star ranked Alchemist to solve, Wang Ming just let out an amused smirk as he solved the question with ease

As the other participants were still attempting to answer the remaining questions, Ning Chu's eyes swept across the participants, and a look of disappointment reflected in his eyes when he saw many of the participants nervously scratching their heads, biting on their nails, and sweating profusely

" Looks like not even thirty of them will pass the elimination round" Ning Chu sighed as he kept looking at the participants but a look of astonishment appeared on his face when his eyes landed on Wang Ming

' Who is he? He is answering the questions without any form of hesitation or nervousness, moreover from his expression, he appears to be....bored?' Ning Chu thought to himself

' Wait, he stopped, did he finish so quickly??' Ning Chu thought in his mind as he started to walk toward Wang Ming

When Wang Ming was about to submit his book, it was abruptly snatched by a hand, when Wang Ming looked at the owner of that hand his eyes widened in disbelief

' Why the hell did you take my book, old man?' Wang Ming questioned in his mind when he saw Ning Chu reading the answers he wrote with a serious expression and with each passing second his expression kept changing from seriousness to shock and then to joy

When he finished reading the book, his eyes gleamed dangerously as he started shaking Wang Ming violently in excitement

" GENIUS" Ning Chu shouted at the top of his voice which startled the other candidates

"??????" Wang Ming
