Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)

Chapter 726 – Trashy Sword Movements

The next morning, the elders made a new announcement regarding the third round.

”Dear candidates, after this round, many people who didn ’t pass the first two rounds will lose the qualifications to take the 4th and the 5th exam. Therefore, take this round seriously. ”

The players and local cultivators, who had failed the two prior rounds, gazed at the elders in solemn. They gulped and trembled, getting nervous.

”Now, I shall announce the next trial. As usual, your cultivation base will be suppressed to the 1st-stage. However, your intelligence and your natural sword knowledge will be put to a test! ”

At that moment, Miaomiao ’s eyes become round. Tang Ting and Sima Yi glanced at the former and held back their laughter.

”There goes your first place, Miaomiao, ” Tang Ting giggled.

”My lord. Having a couple of flaws doesn ’t mean you can ’t become a great man. Please do not dwell on the ranking, ” Sima Yi consoled Miaomiao.

Hearing their remarks, Miaomiao clicked his tongue.

”I might not be the brightest, but I was once a freaking great dao sage, mind you! Whatever it is, I ’ll prove to you that my intelligence, IQ, and EQ have improved! ”

Both Tang Ting and Sima Yi gave him a sympathetic look.

Seeing their expressions, Miaomiao pouted and sobbed, ”Just you wait! I ’ll show you how it ’s done! ”

Tang Ting laughed and hugged Miaomiao to soothe him. Fortunately, everybody ’s attention was on the elders, and nobody noticed Miaomiao ’s unsightly expression.

The elders continued, ”In this third round, we shall create 260,804 images of basic and variant sword movements. You must pick three techniques and master them within one week! After one week, you must display the sword movements in public and we shall grade you depending on your comprehension of the technique! ”

The cultivators were excited. This assessment test was well-known among the locals, and they had done their homework.

Every decade, they used this method to filter talented swordsmen from the group of average swordsmen. They often showed the same images in every assessment test, and the locals had recorded most of the movements in books. As such, many cultivators had already mastered them beforehand and planned to pass this test by relying on their pre-trained techniques.

On the other hand, the majority of players murmured as they hated this exam. More than half of them took it for granted that skills and spells came from skill books and spell books. Some of them were the lazy type, who relied on automatic movements and auto-skill mode.

They worked hard in their world and became rich enough to afford this game. They didn ’t want to work hard in-game as they wanted to enjoy the fantasy world without stressing themselves. As for the rich children, they naturally hated self-training, hardworking, and chores like spoiled young masters in novels. In short, they didn ’t want to work to get a skill manually!
