NOVEL NEXT Chapter 96: Am I That Useful?
Dang— The bell rang. Chang Youfang raised his hand and gestured, "Now, all the examinees, please enter the stone chambers respectively to answer the questions. You can come out after you've finished." Perhaps to take care of the students from poor families, compared to the previous two assessments, this assessment could be said to be unexpectedly simple. However, no one expected that Si Jichuan would directly throw the medicine box back onto the table: "I forfeit." As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene was stunned. The vice-teacher of the Fengtian Star Academy quickly asked, "Why? Is there any difficulty?" Si Jichuan sneered, "I'm a sword cultivator. I don't know shit about medicinal materials." Si Jichuan was both the legitimate young master of the Si Yang family and one of the pillars of the Fengtian Star Academy. The vice-teacher of the Fengtian Star Academy was always pleasant to him and even coaxed him, "Don't rush to give up either. Maybe they don't understand it either. You've come this far. If you hold on a little longer, maybe you'll be the winner." However, Si Jichuan didn't buy it and said with a cold laugh, "What's the point of winning for me? I don't need the Three-flower Fire-tongue Vine." Immediately, there was an uproar among the audience at the scene. Everyone had guessed that the end of the last assessment would surely be extremely exciting, but they didn't expect that there would be a show even before the exam started. What's more, they didn't expect that Si Jichuan would be the first to make trouble, and the target of his complaint was the Fengtian Star Academy, which was on the same side as him. This was simply a blockbuster of the year! The vice-teacher of the Fengtian Star Academy didn't look too good, but due to being in public, there were some words that were hard to say out loud, so he sent a voice transmission to him, "Si Jichuan, as long as you—" At the same time, the first, second, and seventh elders of the Tianyi family were also persuading, "Young Master Si, listen to me—" However, Si Jichuan didn't listen. Si Jichuan directly interrupted the two with a cold laugh, "You wanted the Pinglan Star Academy to open the special assessment, so you let me challenge it; you wanted someone who could verify the authenticity of the Three-flower Fire-tongue Vine, so you let me choose to take the exam on medicinal materials; now you still want to use me until the last step. Am I that useful as a stepping stone?" The vice-teacher of the Fengtian Star Academy: "..." The first, second, and seventh elders of the Tianyi family: "..." Everyone was completely unexpected that he would say such explosive words. Besides being shocked, they began to discuss one after another. Audience from families: "The Fengtian Star Academy is really too harsh!" "I've always regarded the Fengtian Star Academy as my ideal in the mortal world. I didn't expect them to do such disgusting things. Ah, ah, ah, my ideal in the mortal world has collapsed." "How can Si Jichuan say that? He's also a student of the Fengtian Star Academy himself. What's wrong with him doing something for the academy? Isn't the Fengtian Star Academy also trying to save people?" "Even if it's to save people, they could have made it clear. Why use others like this? No wonder Si Jichuan is angry." "The young master of the dignified Si family is being treated as a stepping stone. I'm about to laugh my head off." "Didn't you hear before? The Fengtian Star Academy could have directly bought the Three-flower Fire-tongue Vine. It's because they didn't want to spend money that it's become like this." "Tsk, that's really ugly." Audience from poor families: "Fight! Fight! Fight!" "Good for him! A real man should speak out what's on his mind!" "He's a real man! I thought none of the people from families were any good. It seems that's not entirely true. At least this one is okay." "Keep going! Keep going!" "Applaud! Applaud!" Si Jichuan had always been willful and didn't care about what the occasion was or what the audience thought. After rebuking the two, he clicked his tongue again and said, "You want me to drop out of the Fengtian Star Academy and do so many things for you just for a mere Three-flower Fire-tongue Vine. How dare you?"
