Chapter 2242

The student examinations were actually quite simple, divided into two parts: literature and martial arts. The literature section tested medical knowledge, while the martial arts section assessed cultivation.

In the Medical Realm, students primarily studied medicine, making medical knowledge crucial. However, since all actions there were individual responsibilities, the cultivation assessment ensured their self-defense capabilities.

This was not a martial tournament. Because it wasn’t a fight, using medicine was prohibited.

Zhu Yanyi had to admire the school’s logic. They knew that for healers, using medicine was normal. But here, the assessment consisted of obstacle courses. You couldn’t apply medicine to mechanical wooden dummies, could you?

Because of this restriction, the danger level dropped significantly. Zhu Yanyi didn’t complain. After all, relying on solid skills was good enough.

Most importantly, the final ranking depended on the combined score of both literature and martial arts, sorted from highest to lowest.

Xi Muzheng approached Zhu Yanyi. “Who do you want to give your recommendation slot to?”

“Has the student list been released?” Zhu Yanyi smiled at Xi Muzheng. She knew she was here for some behind-the-scenes arrangement. One slot was definitely for her. If she announced it openly, it might cause unnecessary trouble. It was better to prepare in advance.

“Don’t tell me you organized this whole exam just for this backdoor deal,” Zhu Yanyi said, looking at her with disdain.

Xi Muzheng sighed helplessly. “No choice. It’s your fault for causing such a big trouble. I had to do this. Since everyone had opinions about your use of medicine, I chose an exam. With the scores in my hand, I could manipulate things.”

“Are you sure it was my fault?” Zhu Yanyi looked at her with a half-smile.

Xi Muzheng quickly raised both hands above his head. “Okay, it’s my fault. I tricked you into doing this, causing trouble for myself.”

Zhu Yanyi snorted again, then said, “Give me the top six names first. Confirm it’s me, then I’ll decide who to recommend.”

“The top six are out. First is Che Wuzhe, second is Yi Yunfei, third is Dan Sheng, fourth is Gu Jun, fifth is Jian Feiyan, and sixth is Feng Miaoling,” Xi Muzheng told her.

Zhu Yanyi shrugged slightly. “Sister Hongmei didn’t win?”

Hongmei, possessing a Chaos Body, had improved her cultivation rapidly since obtaining that small piece of Chaos Stone.

“Hongmei’s cultivation is good, but her medical skills failed the test,” Xi Muzheng said seriously. “We ranked based on the comprehensive score.”

Zhu Yanyi pondered for a moment. “Then I’ll give my recommendation slot to Wen Ziyuan.”

Zhu Yanyi wasn’t particularly close to Wen Ziyuan, but she had great talent in medicine. She was also a decent person, so she wanted to help her out.

Xi Muzheng checked the score sheet and nodded. “Wen Ziyuan’s score is decent. He is in thirteenth place.”

“Fine. I don’t care about the score. I just want to give away my slot,” Zhu Yanyi said. She then looked at Xi Muzheng. “The elders’ exam starts tomorrow, right?”

“Yes,” Xi Muzheng nodded. The students were tested first, then the elders.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. “Alright, I understand. I’ll come tomorrow.” Since the matter was settled, she didn’t say anything else and left directly.

The next day was the elders’ exam. For Zhu Yanyi, neither the literature nor the martial arts part was a problem.

In fact, all elders at the Saint Academy knew this. Zhu Yanyi’s abilities were evident. Unless she missed the exam due to bad luck, it was unlikely anyone could defeat her.

Indeed, Zhu Yanyi scored first. Mu Rongyin came in second, and Bai Haochen third. Thus, the three elder slots were filled.

The elder slots were announced on the spot. The student slots were confirmed afterward. The departure date for the Medical Realm was set for three days later.

The Medical Realm could only be accessed at fixed times. The passage would open only during these windows. After ten people entered, the passage would disappear. It would reappear thirty days later, and those inside had to return through this same passage.

Xi Muzheng looked at the ten people. “Your main goal is to learn medicine. No one knows the current state of the Medical Realm, but their medical skills have always been excellent. You represent the Saint Academy, so try to maintain the Academy’s style. Think twice before acting.”

After speaking, Xi Muzheng looked at Zhu Yanyi, Mu Rongyin, and Bai Haochen. “Elder Zhu, Elder Mu, Elder Bai, I leave the other children in your care.”

“Dean, don’t worry. We know what to do,” Mu Rongyin nodded with a smile.

Xi Muzheng checked the sky. “The time is right. You must depart.”

As he finished speaking, a beam of light descended, condensing into a door. The door opened automatically, as if waiting for them to enter.

“Let’s go,” Mu Rongyin said. She walked toward the door first, followed by Zhu Yanyi, Bai Haochen, and the seven students.

After the ten of them entered, the door closed automatically. This door would remain until it reopened thirty days later, disappearing only after everyone exited.

Of course, Zhu Yanyi and the others inside didn’t know this.

They had only crossed a door, but Zhu Yanyi found they were on a mountain. Looking down from the peak, she saw fields planted with countless plants. Some were food crops like rice, vegetables, and fruits, but most were medicinal herbs. The environment was truly nice, natural, and rich in spiritual energy.

The roads here were very flat, as if paved with some unknown material. They were not only smooth but also comfortable to walk on, lacking the scorching heat of cement roads.

Just as she was thinking this, a small bus approached. It was an aerial bus. Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. Had they arrived in a future world?

The aerial bus stopped in front of them, descended slowly, and opened its door. A person wearing a white suit stepped out.
