Chapter 2616 What A Strange Kid

Chapter 2616 What A Strange KidUpon entering the evaluation site, Jared scanned his surroundings and noticed that the arcane array he
was in was a simple offensive array. Since it wasn't particularly strong, Jared continued forward
nonchalantly.
Just as he took a few steps, rays of spiritual light appeared in the air and shot at him.
Nonetheless, the smirking Jared threw them a glance before walking ahead, ignoring the spiritual lights'
attacks.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Upon impact, the spiritual lights bounced off Jared and didn't land a scratch on him.
He didn't even need to deploy Golem Body at all. Such weak offensive arcane arrays weren't capable
of piercing through his skin.
If the shots were powerful enough to hurt him, the other disciples who participated in the evaluation
would probably not have survived.
Meanwhile, outside the evaluation site, there was a smooth piece of rock that displayed Jared's current
condition. It was a measure to prevent anyone from cheating during the test.
The sight of Jared ignoring the attacks of the offensive arcane array and walking leisurely forward blew
Ebenez's mind. He gaped at Jared with disbelief written all over his face.
novelbinAfter all, many disciples had failed in the first level which was a test of agility. One was supposed to
dodge the attacks instead of bearing the brunt with one's own body.
Consequently, this was the very first time Ebenez witnessed someone bulldoze through the level in
such a manner.
Unlike Ebenez, Sigurd wasn't surprised at all, for he had felt first-hand how strong Jared's physical
body was.
“D*mn it! What a strange kid.”
While speaking, Ebenez injected a flash of white light into the arcane array.
He attempted to adjust its difficulty level in order to increase the intensity of the attacks, essentially
making the evaluation harder for Jared.
Obviously, his ability to tamper with the evaluation was exactly the reason why participants bribed him
with gifts.
“Mr. Erdell, what are you—”
Sigurd attempted to stop Ebenez upon realizing what the latter was doing.
“Shut up and get out of my way. Why are sticking your nose in when he isn't your master's disciple?” Cowed by the glare Ebenez shot him, Sigurd backed down in fear.
However, Jared continued to ram his way through with no regard for the attacks even though Ebenez
had tuned them to the highest intensity.
Given that the impact from the attacks felt like a scratch to Jared, any change in intensity was barely
going to make a difference.
While Ebenez was still dumbfounded by the turn of events, Jared emerged from the site and dusted the
first off his body. “All right. I've cleared it. I don't think it took more than ten minutes, did it?”
As Ebenez was mired in shock, Sigurd replied on his behalf, “No, you only took eight minutes.”
“In that case, have I passed the evaluation? Am I now a disciple of Emerald Cauldron Sect?” Jared
asked.
“Technically, yes, but...”
Before finishing his sentence, Sigurd looked toward Ebenez.
Only after the latter had given his approval and issued a token could Jared be considered an official
disciple of the sect's inner court and enjoy its privileges.
“Mr. Erdell, has he passed the evaluation?” Sigurd asked the stunned Ebenez.
“Huh?” Upon being jolted back to his senses, the latter nodded. “I guess so...” “In that case, I'll be heading off now.”
Jared planned to leave the mountain to see Ghaylen. He had wanted to learn more about Emerald
Cauldron Sect's medicinal treasury.
“Wait,” Ebenez called out to Jared abruptly just as he turned around.
“Didn't I pass the evaluation? What else is there?” Jared inquired.
