Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 86: Bet

Compared to the school of alchemy, the school of weapon refining had more students. But the difference was not big.

On stage, three hundred students stood in groups.

Shen Xu was in a group of two with Song Wancheng.

"Are you ready?" Shen Xu asked.

"What about you?"

"Ready." The double said with a confident smile.

"Shall we compete for speed?"

"I would rather compete for quality."

"What’s the prize?"

"What do you want?"

When he heard the question, Song Wancheng looked around and leaned over to whisper into the double’s ear.

"Don’t get so close." Shen Xu protested and took a step back.

"Isn’t it because I don’t want other people to overhear."

"And you think whispering will help?" Shen Xu rolled his eyes.

"You are right." Song Wancheng said with a troubled expression.

"Why don’t you imply if you can’t speak clearly."

"I want that thing."

"Can’t you be more specific?"

"The thing you asked me to keep a secret about."

’Jade pendant.’ Shen Xu finally understood.

"Don’t you already have two? Why do you need a third?"

"I can’t have too many."

Hearing this, Shen Xu sighed.

"Okay." He agreed, and Song Wancheng smiled.

"What about you? What do you want if you win?"

"Ten stalks of level three soul-related spiritual grass. Any kind is fine." Shen Xu said.

"It’s a bet." Song Wancheng agreed, and the two shook on it.

’It’s my win this time.’ Song Wancheng thought and forcibly suppressed the urge to laugh.

However, Shen Xu was thinking the same thing.

’Song Wancheng, it won’t matter what you refine. I am guaranteed to win this round.’ He thought.

Each with their thoughts, they waited for the assessment to start.

An incense stick later, Qi Xiaowen, the deputy dean of the school of weapon refining flew onto the stage.

Seeing the person, Shen Xu sighed.

Before he entered the Divine Rainbow Academy, Shen Xu hoped to become Qi Xiaowen’s disciple.

However, a lot happened, and the plan was shelved.

Now, Shen Xu didn’t need to become the person’s disciple.

Instead, their mastery was already at the same level.

Thinking of this, Shen Xu couldn’t help but feel a little proud.

However, he didn’t let the momentary pride cloud his mind.

After all, level three masters were only a big deal on the Canglan continent.

’When we go to the Tianqi continent, I will once again become an ordinary master.’ Shen Xu reminded himself.

"For this assessment, everyone can refine whatever they want." Qi Xiaowen announced, and Shen Xu subconsciously smiled.

’It’s my game.’ He thought.

"The grading is as follows." The man waved his hand, and an image appeared in the void.

Level one weapon:

Low-grade - 5 point

Mid-grade - 10 points

High grade - 15 points

Peak grade - 20 points

Level two weapon:

Low grade - 10 points

Mid-grade - 15 points

High grade - 20 points

Peak grade - 25 points

Level three weapon:

Low grade - 15 points

Mid-grade - 20 points

High grade - 25 points

Peak grade - 30 points

Bonus points:

+10 points per attribute

+10 points per function

"The pass score is ten points, and every student has three chances." Qi Xiaowen said.

After looking around and ensuring no one had a question, Qi Xiaowen flew from the stage.

"You can start." He said.

When they heard this, the students separated and stood behind the prepared work tables.

"Good luck." Shen Xu said.

"You too." Song Wancheng smiled while walking away.

After the person left, Shen Xu took a deep breath.

In preparation for the assessment, he pre-emptively soaked his refining materials in basins of spiritual water.

This way, he would be ready irrespective of the assessment topic.

Fortunately, the heavens favoured him.

Thinking of his plan, Shen Xu smiled and removed things from his storage bag.

Natural cotton.

Crystal silk.

Fire gathering grass.

Qi gathering grass.

Red feather of a multicoloured peregrine falcon.

Grey feather of a multicoloured peregrine falcon.

Void stone.

Spiritual water.

Refining furnace.

Everyone frowned when they saw the double’s actions.

"What is that double planning to refine?" Someone asked in a confused voice.

"Why does he need spiritual grass for a weapon refining assessment?"

"Did he panic and begin to act crazy?"

"Who is he? Does anyone know?"

"He is the fourth young master of the Shi family." Someone sighed.

"This is what happens when an alchemist pretends to be a weapon refiner."

"It’s going to be a disaster."

On the raised platform, the elders and deans were also confused.

"Old Qi, what is that child refining?" Li Bai asked while looking at the dean of the weapon refining school.

Unfortunately, Qi Chengfeng was also at a loss and didn’t know what the double was doing.

With a hesitant look, he turned to his deputy.

"Xiaowen, do you know that student?" He asked.

"I don’t." Qi Xiaowen said.

"Can you guess what he plans to refine?" Dongfang Jing suddenly asked.

When they heard the question, the deans and elders shuddered.

’That student is out of luck.’ They thought.

If the student was a man or a woman, they would think the dean was just curious.

However, the student was a beautiful double.

Regardless of the assessment outcome, Dongfang Jing would make things difficult for the person.

Fortunately, the double had nothing to do with them.

Whatever happened to him could only be blamed on his bad luck.

Thinking this way, the elders and deans turned to look at Qi Xiaowen.

"Based on the materials, his intention is a level three weapon. However, I can’t guess what the weapon is." Qi Xiaowen frowned before he continued.

"It could be a robe or a fan..., or even a space ring. It’s hard to tell." The man sighed.

"I also think so." Qi Chengfeng nodded.

"What I am most concerned about are the fire-gathering grass and the qi-gathering grass. Are they refining materials, or are they used to replenish his qi during the refining process?"

"Why use spiritual grass when pills are readily available? Also, the child is a foundation establishment realm cultivator. Even if he wanted to use spiritual grass, wouldn’t he use level two grass? Why did he take out level three grass?"
