Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 155: Cultivation Level Test

Many people glanced toward the simple-minded crown prince and shook their heads inwardly. The difference was just too huge! It really was like a flower growing out of a pile of manure.

When the crown princess descended, the others all glanced around in embarrassment. After all, they were all much older than her, so it was normal for their cultivation levels to be higher. However, with their difference in age, that small gap in cultivation made them all feel ashamed.

Liu Xian was the first to say, "I’ll head up first!" He had always been rather shameless, known as the capital’s publicly acknowledged playboy. He didn’t mind being laughed at by others.

He didn’t immediately place his hand on the device to get measured, and instead walked in front of Qi Yaoguang with a smile first. "Little sister Qi, hello. My name is Liu Xian, and my father is a general of the court."

"Oh, I know that." Qi Yaoguang subconsciously leaned back. What is such a mature man using makeup for?

Liu Xian was overjoyed, saying, "So little sister Qi knew about me."

"Only just now, through divination." Qi Yaoguang yawned.

"Huh?" Liu Xian was stupefied.

Qi Yaoguang harrumphed. "I also divined that you wanted to pick me up. Hmph, you’re coming after me when you don’t even know what I do; you really are ignorant and senseless. Are you going to take the test or not? Otherwise, go back down and stop holding up the line." She muttered to herself, "I sensed that I would have some romantic luck, but it ended up being with such a slimy guy. What kind of romantic luck is that? Hmph."

Liu Xian was momentarily dazed, but he reacted quickly as well. "Little sister Qi’s nature really is straightforward and unruly. I like that a lot."

He placed his hand on the celestial stone while speaking. He thought to himself that once he came out of the dungeon, he was going to try to hook up with her. This wasn’t the first time he had encountered a little hot pepper like her, yet hadn’t they still ended up moaning under him?

The celestial stone produced a faint layer of light. Qi Yaoguang gave it a look. "Fifth rank? Even many of my students are higher rank than you. Have you lived your entire life so far like a dog or something?"

Liu Xian finally couldn’t take it anymore. However, this was the Royal Academy, so he couldn’t start anything. He could only leave the stage with an ashen expression.

Underneath the stage, Catherine held back an urge to laugh. She is more familiar with these academy teachers. Catherine knew that Qi Yaoguang was famous for her low emotional intelligence, yet this Liu Xian had actually dared to try to court her. He really wasn’t the brightest.

Then, the other disciples headed up one after another. After learning from Liu Xian’s experience, none of them dared to speak rudely to Qi Yaoguang.

The results quickly came out. Liang King Manor’s Zhao Xi and the Liu clan’s Gao Ying’s cultivations were the highest, both at the peak of the sixth rank. The others were either at the middle or initial stage of the sixth rank. The others began to congratulate Zhao Xi and Gao Ying. Gao Ying was a bit calmer, while Zhao Xi couldn’t help but feel proud.

"Well, well, looks like everyone is ready," A familiar voice said.

Catherine turned around with surprise and happiness.

"Did you get what you wanted?" She asked.

"Yes," He nodded.

Meng Pan asked with a snicker, "What can possibly be more important than the crown prince’s exam?"

Gu Xing felt refreshed inwardly. Finally, he didn’t have to step in himself.

Sharky replied, "It’s precisely because the crown prince’s exam is important that I’ll explain the exact situation to the crown princess later."

Qi Yaoguang spoke from the stage. "Mister Sharky, are you going to test yourself or not?!"

Catherine said, "You should get tested first. Everyone who’s going to enter the dungeon needs to be tested."

Sharky placed his hand on the celestial stone. At the same time, he stroked the spice bag he had gotten from Bai Rouxue.

The celestial stone soon shone. Everyone present cried out in alarm.

It wasn’t because Sharky’s cultivation was too high, but rather because the tested result was too low. He was only shown to be at the sixth rank.

King George’s officials immediately called the result into question, feeling that there were problems with the test. They didn’t want the crown prince to obtain a helper that was too powerful in the dungeon.

The crown prince’s faction was already well prepared. Many officials immediately engaged them in a war of words, fending them off. The two sides argued intensely.

At that time, Qi Yaoguang harrumphed and asked, "Are you all suspecting that our Royal Academy is siding with Sharky?" Even though her voice wasn’t loud, it was able to penetrate through everything else. The place quickly calmed down.

King George’s faction members smiled and replied, "Lady Qi has misunderstood; how could we question the academy’s standpoint? Since Sharky was tested to be at the sixth rank, he is at the sixth rank."

They didn’t want to offend the Royal Academy and push this neutral faction towards the crown prince’s side. Furthermore, they had actually already discussed this among themselves before. A single person around the seventh rank wouldn’t make too much of a difference. What had happened just now was a pretense so that the crown prince’s faction wouldn’t go too far.

Gu Xing was instead overjoyed at the turn of events. "I thought he was some amazing fella, yet he’s only barely at the sixth rank. Hah, our cultivation might even be higher than his."

Liu Xian coughed, indicating that he was offended by these words.

"That’s not entirely impossible." Meng Pan chuckled. "There were all sorts of rumors surrounding him in the capital recently. I refuse to believe that no one tried to spread those things deliberately."

King Liang Manor’s Zhao Xi harrumphed. "Hmph, I actually admired him a bit. Turns out he was only at that level."

But soon their topics turned to impress the Academy Teacher.

Even though they had lowered their voices, Catherine could still hear everything clearly since they were so close to each other. She was completely speechless when she saw the Gu clan brothers join in with suspicious smiles. These damn men were all good-for-nothing perverts!

Pei You said with a sneer, "Look at you all, being so picky. The selection exam for the rear mountain is extremely strict. All who pass are extraordinary talents. You should be happy if any of the teachers are willing to take you in."

"I guess you’re right. I don’t even know if I’ll pass that selection exam."

"Ah, heavens, please help me! I’ll be eternally grateful to the world if I’m accepted!"

All of them immediately became much more humble when they realized the difficulty of entering the rear mountain. They were no longer in such high spirits as before.

After both sides exchanged fake conversation, King George’s eyes landed on Sharky as he said, "Sir Sharky, I’ll have to entrust this secret dungeon mission to you."

There was no lack of intelligent people among them. They quickly realized something. Why was King George paying so much attention to him?

Even though they belonged to different camps, they still acknowledged King George’s terrifying strength. Furthermore, this was the boss of the other faction, someone who could stand on equal footing against the emperor’ someone who their fathers, and even grandfathers, had to lower their heads to. Yet such a person was that concerned with Sharky?

As someone who was also part of the imperial palace, Catherine knew that King George and Sharky had already faced each other several times, yet King George had never gotten what he wanted. It was completely reasonable for him to have such respect for Sharky.

Sharky wasn’t fazed at all when he saw the incoming Rage pints. He didn’t regard these people as any threat at all, saying, "King George, don’t worry. I will definitely ensure that the crown prince passes this test."

King George’s eyes narrowed. After a moment of silence, he said in a profound manner, "It’s good for the young to be ambitious. However, if you’re too arrogant, you just might meet a premature end."

Sharky said with a smile, "Apart from me, there are so many children from great clans. How difficult can it be to kill a Serpent Of Silver Moon? It seems King George isn’t so optimistic about this trip. Perhaps you made some arrangements that would cause us to meet premature ends?"

Zhao Xi and the others stuck out their chests when they heard Sharky’s praise. They thought that this fellow at least knew how to talk well.

But who could have thought that he would say that King George was laying a trap for them right afterwards? Their expressions all changed. Did this idiot even know the ways of the court? Even though the two factions were already at a point where they couldn’t coexist, they were still friendly on the surface.

All of them looked down on Sharky. At the same time, they were worried that King George might become hostile. If that happened, all of them would be caught up in the disaster.

However, what was surprising was that King George didn’t get mad. Instead, there was a refreshing smile on his face. "Sir Sharky, you’re worrying too much. This king only wished to give you a reminder. I once again wish everyone a smooth journey."

Even Catherine, who hated the man bitterly, had to admit that it was no wonder that King George had such prestige both inside and outside the court. This kind of presence and temperament wasn’t something just anyone could have.

Soon afterward, Zhuxie Chixin walked over, as if worried that King George would do something to them. The emperor hadn’t arrived today and had only sent Meng Yi, Bi Qi, Zhuxie Chixin, and other trusted aides over. However, there was no need to worry about King George’s faction doing anything with these individuals guarding the entrance.

Qi Yaoguang slowly walked onto the stage. Her drowsy eyes became deep like the cosmos. She mumbled to herself as she held a star diagram in her hands. Soon afterward, the air seemed to ripple around them. Those who had higher cultivation levels could sense that the ki in the area was undergoing an intense transformation. Even space and time seemed to be reconstructing themselves.

The small-bearded Liu Xian’s eyes widened. "Wasn’t Principal Scarlett the one who was going to open up the dungeon? Miss Qi... Is she enough for this?"

He wasn’t the only one who had such thoughts. Qi Yaoguang looked just too young, almost like a loli. She looked like those daughters of great clans who didn’t know anything. It really was hard to imagine that someone like her was going to manage something so major like controlling the secret dungeon.

Catherine was the crown princess, so she had more information at her disposal. When she heard those words, she explained, "Qi Yaoguang is the Principal Scarlett’s disciple, and what she researches is astrology, fate, and other such profound things. That’s why you shouldn’t judge her by her appearance.

"Furthermore, the secret dungeon opens up once every four years. The academy has already had centuries of experience in its operation. There’s naturally no need for Principal Scarlett to do the deed himself."

Liu Xian revealed his trademark smirk. "I’m becoming more and more interested in Miss Qi now. I definitely have to use my masculine charm to completely subdue her once we’re back from this dungeon."

The people around him rolled their eyes. The stocky Zhao Xi was the most straightforward of them all. He shot back, "Can you shut up about that already? My breakfast might come out if I listen to any more of this."

Liu Xian harrumphed. "How can a boorish man like you understand the thoughts of a young lady? Talking to you is like playing a lute to a cow."

"What did you say?" Zhao Xi was furious when he heard those words. He pulled up his sleeves and walked toward Liu Xian.

Liu Xian reacted quickly as well, quickly hiding behind his cousin. Gao Ying was left with no choice but to stand in front of Zhao Xi.
