The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3746: Troublemaker (Fourth Update)

A stout, dark-skinned man of middle age suddenly materialized, his voice resonating, "The Cloud Shifter examination officially commences! All contenders, please proceed into the examination hall!"

An immediate, palpable tension enveloped the assembled crowd!

Like seasoned warriors marching to the front lines, each martial artist made their way towards the imposing, magnificent hall situated in front of the vast square!

This was the designated venue for the trials!

Swiftly, countless martial artists entered the examination hall, dispersing into different sections.

The first section teemed with the largest number of participants; it served as the examination room for Beginner Level Cloud-pushing Masters, where Xu Shenglong was positioned.

The second section, housing only tens of thousands, was allocated for Intermediate Cloud Piercers, and Deng Shaofeng was among this group!

However, the third section contained merely a few dozen individuals!

Moreover, the majority of these were venerable elders with white hair!

Within this elite group, only one youngster was present, and that was Ye Chen!

Those elders cast looks of disdain upon Ye Chen.

These individuals were renowned, veteran Cloud Clearing Masters, possibly having dedicated tens of thousands of years to the art, or perhaps even longer?

Some had waited hundreds of thousands of years after profound cultivation before daring to attempt this Advanced Cloud Clearing Master examination!

How old could this youth possibly be?

Furthermore, whispers circulated that this young man had only studied the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques for a mere ten days, yet he presumed to enter the Advanced Cloud Clearing Master exam? Clearly, he was merely seeking an audience!

If this individual were actually to succeed in the Advanced Cloud Clearing Master exam, these seasoned Cloud Clearing Masters, who had dedicated millennia, or even eons, to mastering the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques, would truly feel inclined to cease existing!

From a distance, Deng Shaofeng cast a sideways glance towards Ye Chen's location, a sneer twisting his lips, "Heh, let's observe if your charade can hold up once the competition truly begins!"

Abruptly, a resonant bell chimed across Xianying City, signaling the official commencement of the Cloud Clearing Master examination!

Within the prestigious High-level Examination Hall, an elder, his hair white yet his features remarkably youthful, exuding an aura of undeniable arrogance, strode into the examination chamber with the bearing of a celestial dragon or a conquering tiger.

Upon witnessing this elder's entrance, the assembled veteran Cloud Clearing Masters immediately adopted expressions of utmost seriousness, offering a respectful salutation, "Salutations, Master Chen!"

This individual, known as Chen Yuanbiao, was widely recognized as one of the preeminent Advanced Cloud Clearing Masters within a radius of a thousand miles!

Rumors suggested his success rate in Cloud Clearing had reached an astonishing eighty percent!

It was even whispered that he had brushed against the very precipice of achieving Grandmaster status during his illustrious career!

Concurrently, he held the esteemed position of vice president within the local Cloud Clearing Association.

Flanking Chen Yuanbiao were two other revered elders, both equally accomplished Advanced Cloud Clearing Masters.

These three distinguished individuals constituted the panel of examiners for this significant occasion!

Chen Yuanbiao addressed the candidates with a measured tone, "Very well, the examination is on the verge of commencing. The regulations are straightforward. Presently, a thousand martial artists will enter this hall. Your sole objective is to accurately ascertain their cultivation levels. Achieving an accuracy rate exceeding seventy percent will deem you successful in this exam!"

The three of us shall oversee the proceedings. It is imperative that none of you entertain any illicit intentions. Should any form of deception be detected, your Cloud Clearing Master qualifications will be summarily revoked, and you shall be forever barred from future examinations."

As these words were spoken, Chen Yuanbiao's gaze specifically settled upon Ye Chen!

He, too, had been apprised of the wager, and in his considered opinion, if this young man was not utterly deluded, he was undoubtedly plotting some clandestine maneuver!

However, he was resolute in preventing any such transgression. Should this youth manage to employ deceit right under his watchful eyes, he would consider his own vice presidential tenure forfeit!

Without delay, a multitude of martial artists surged into the arena. Each wore specialized masks, rendering their visages utterly unrecognizable, and concealed beneath identical black robes, their physical forms became indistinguishable!

These martial artists were affiliated with the Cloud Clearing Association, outfitted with specially fabricated masks and robes designed to make any act of cheating virtually unfeasible.

Concurrently, arrays of Jade Crystal Walls materialized before each candidate. Initially, they were required to employ their divine souls to establish a lock onto the designated target for cloud clearing. Subsequently, their perceived cultivation level would be imprinted upon the Jade Crystal Wall via their spiritual sense.

The data displayed on the Jade Crystal Wall remained visible exclusively to the individual candidate and the presiding examiners, thus negating any concern of unauthorized observation.

For a fleeting moment, the entire examination hall was suffused with an atmosphere of grave solemnity. Each candidate silently scrutinized the martial artist positioned before them, diligently applying the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques to ascertain the true cultivation strengths of these robed figures!

Within the Intermediate Examination Room, an examiner, a middle-aged man, observed Deng Shaofeng's crucial judgment through his crystal barrier and gave a slight, approving nod.

Truly, the Deng family lives up to its reputation; at this pace, this young man will undoubtedly pass the intermediate examination without a hitch!

The Deng family has nurtured such a young Intermediate Cloud Piercer, which will undoubtedly bolster its future prospects!

Perhaps, in a few millennia, the Deng family will be home to an Advanced Cloud Clearing Master not even ten thousand years old!

Then, even the Cloud Clearing Association would be compelled to show the Deng family a measure of respect.

At this juncture, Chen Yuanbiao was also scrutinizing the examination results of the candidates within the High-level Hall.

He couldn't help but let out a slight shake of his head; the proficiency of these seasoned Cloud Clearing Masters was quite commendable, with nearly everyone's judgment accuracy exceeding sixty percent!

Some even attained sixty-five percent accuracy!

But!

He understood that this mere half a percent margin of accuracy was as vast as the Heavenly Pool!

This Advanced Cloud Clearing Master examination might conclude without a single successful candidate.

Suddenly, however, Chen Yuanbiao's eyes began to gleam with surprise; he observed a candidate making judgments with remarkable swiftness!

Even those exceptionally experienced veteran Cloud Clearing Masters typically require approximately three breaths to accurately assess a martial artist's cultivation level, yet this candidate completes the task almost as quickly as a single breath!

At present, the Cloud Clearing Masters in the High-level Hall have barely logged one or two hundred answers, while this candidate's submissions have already surpassed five hundred!

Chen Yuanbiao exhibited a trace of indignation; this was utterly preposterous!

In his estimation, this individual was merely selecting answers at random, devoid of genuine judgment or discernment, much like students on Earth haphazardly guessing answers on multiple-choice tests!

It was nothing short of blatant disruption!

He, the vice president of the Cloud Clearing Association for the Xianying City region, was certainly not present to oversee such blatant disorder!

And this particular individual was none other than Ye Chen!

Upon recognizing the candidate's name, Chen Yuanbiao allowed a cold smile to form on his lips.

Heh, it appears this young scamp's fraudulent methods have failed him?

Now, he's resorting to reckless abandon?

This, in Chen Yuanbiao's perspective, was the most probable outcome.

Casting his gaze upon Ye Chen, a sharp glint flickered in his eyes as he silently contemplated: "Youngster, do you truly believe you can fill in answers indiscriminately without facing repercussions? Heh, I shall utilize your exam conduct as justification to ensure you are forever barred from participating in the Cloud Clearing Master examinations!"
