YM778.TV 169 Chapter 169
Chu He\'s face twisted and he couldn\'t say anything for a few seconds before he suddenly said, "You think that you\'re better than everyone here? We\'re all people who have worked hard our entire lives to reach this point and you\'re nothing more than a kid who\'s here just for fun! How dare you mock us like this?"
Lin Fan spread his hands and gave a shrug, "Why do you keep insisting that I won\'t be able to pass? Don\'t you know not to judge a book by its cover?"
Chu He gave a cold laugh at this, "You\'re clearly a kid who just came here to have fun, you know nothing about how hard this test is. This isn\'t just a game, this is the Master Monster Trainer test!"
Lin Fan revealed a sly smile at this, "Then do you want to make a bet?"
Chu He raised one brow and asked, "What bet?"
Lin Fan\'s smile became even wider as he said, "That I\'ll be able to pass the entire test and become a Master Monster Trainer."
Chu He looked at Xu Yi in a daze for a few seconds before suddenly bursting out in laughter. He kept on laughing for a bit before looking Lin Fan right in the eyes, "What a joke, I\'ve never heard anything funnier in my life!"
Lin Fan just calmly said, "Then you want to take the bet?"
Chu He had a confident smile as he said, "Alright, what will we bet on?"
Lin Fan said, "If I don\'t pass the Master Monster Trainer test, I will bow and apologize to you in front of everyone, but if I do, you will have to run around the entire Monster Trainer Union in your underwear three times."
Chu He hesitated a bit when he heard the terms, but his pride quickly came over him and he said, "Alright, but I know that you won\'t take that long to fail. You won\'t even pass the first knowledge exam. I can\'t wait to see you bowing in front of everyone."
Chu He walked off, but Lin Fan just had the same smile on his face since he had a secret weapon.
Momonga was the Undead King who had lived for countless years, he was a pool of knowledge to drain from and if Lin Fan just wasted this, he would have been a fool.
During the past month, Lin Fan had been learning all kinds of new things from Momonga since he knew that it wasn\'t just cultivation that he needed to bring him higher up. He also needed knowledge since sometimes power couldn\'t solve everything.
He had been focusing on the different characteristics of different kinds of beasts, trying to find weaknesses that he could expose during battle.
However, just like how medicine can become poison if one wasn\'t careful, this knowledge on how to defeat beasts could also be used to train them. As such, Lin Fan could actually match a Master Monster Trainer when it came to knowledge on beasts.
When the time for the exam finally came, Lin Fan was led to a separate room where there were two old men waiting behind a table with a desk in front of that table for him.
The two old men were both Master Monster Trainers who had been tasked by the Monster Tamer Union to administer this test.
For the other participants taking this test, they were also led to rooms with Master Monster Trainers waiting for them.
Of course, there weren\'t that many people taking this test since Master Monster Trainer was a rank that wasn\'t easy to reach, so they had enough examiners for all the examinees at once.
These two old men were surprised to see how young Lin Fan was, but as esteemed Master Monster Trainers, they had much more open minds compared to the people outside. They chose not to judge Lin Fan by his age and decided to wait to judge him by his performance.
One of the old men took out a folder which he held up for Lin Fan to take. Inside the folder were several pieces of paper that had different general knowledge questions on them.
While Monster Trainers generally focused on a single type of pet to train, there were many similarities between most beasts and this was something that all Monster Trainers had to know. Being a Master Monster Trainer meant that one had to have plenty of general knowledge on beasts, which was what this first test was about.
The old man held up that fold while saying, "You are free to answer whichever questions you want to answer, but you have to get at least five out of ten correct to pass."
Lin Fan looked at the two and cupped his hands as he said with a smile, "May I ask the elders to pick a few random questions for me?"
The two old men were surprised to hear this.
There were only so many questions that could be asked, so normally when presented with the choice, there were many participants who memorized just a few questions that commonly appeared on this test. They hoped that they were lucky enough to get the questions that they had memorized and pass this written test.
But Lin Fan suddenly asking these two old men to pick out random questions eliminated that chance completely since these two old men would really pick random questions.
These two old men looked at each other skeptically, thinking that Lin Fan might be using a ploy to show off, but they still picked out the questions for him. If he could answer these questions, then he might really be a genius.
The old man who had taken out the folder picked out ten sheets and handed them over to Lin Fan as he said, "Alright, you can try these questions to see if you can answer them."
The old man didn\'t really have any opinion towards Lin Fan, so he tried making it as fair as possible. If the difficulty of the questions were to go from a scale of one to ten, then these ten questions would perfectly fit that scale. Each one of these questions would correspond perfectly with one digit of that scale, going from one to ten.
Lin Fan just nodded and took the questions before moving over to the desk.
These two old men also released their spiritual sense in a manner that they considered secret, trying to see if Lin Fan might be using an elaborate way of cheating by distracting them with asking them to pick the questions for him. However they couldn\'t detect anything at all.
When Lin Fan sensed the spiritual sense of these two old men which of course he could since these two old men were only in the peak Gold Realm, he just secretly revealed a smile.
There was no need for him to cheat at all and if he did, he really would be letting down all the hard work that he had put in over the past month.
Momonga was a crystallization of knowledge that had existed for over thousands of years and Lin Fan was getting personal teachings from that crystallization of knowledge. Even though only a short month had passed since he had started learning, the amount that he had learned was already enough to match him with the president of the Monster Trainer Union who was one of the few Grandmaster Monster Trainers.
As for someone who was at the Legendary Realm, that didn\'t exist in this lower realm, or at least it no longer existed.
Just like with the Alchemy Tower, there was an upper realm faction that was behind the Monster Trainer Union who had drawn in all the talents that the Monster Trainer Union. Even if there was a Legendary Monster Trainer in the past, they would have been recruited by that upper realm faction and taken to the upper realm.
Lin Fan just casually looked over the question and he could see that they were of a varying scale of difficulty, perfectly scaling with each question and he couldn\'t help feeling respect for this old man.
Some examiners might make it harder for the examinee if they asked the examiner to pick the questions, but this old man had tried to make it as fair as possible for him, which he could appreciate.
But for someone with his knowledge, these kinds of questions were already at too low of a level for him.
From the moment Lin Fan picked up his pencil, it only took him a total of twenty minutes to finish all of these questions.
It had to be known, the entire time allotted for this exam was an entire hour and that was usually barely enough time for most examinees to even finish five questions. Yet Lin Fan had taken twenty minutes to finish all of these questions, even finishing questions with difficulty levels of ten, which would be hard for even normal Master Monster Trainers to finish.
When the two old men saw him put down the pencil, they looked at him in surprise. At first they thought that Lin Fan had given up on the exam, but then they were shocked to see Lin Fan walk over with all ten pieces of paper and say, "I\'m finished."
The two old men quickly came over their shock and the one who picked out the questions asked, "Are you sure you\'re finished? You still have plenty of time."
Lin Fan placed the pieces of paper in front of them and said, "I\'m sure."
The old men looked over these questions and as they did, the shock on their face became deeper.
The only words in their mind was "monster genius"!
