<h4>Chapter 707 - Array Master Assessment</h4>


    The three judges were no doubt shocked about Yuan''s cultivation base at his age. However, when they continued to read the paper and saw that he only has a week of experience in arrays, they raised their eyebrows.


    "Is this correct? You''ve only been studying arrays for about a week?" The beautiful woman asked him, no longer looking so bored.


    "That''s correct." Yuan confirmed in a calm manner.


    The three judges looked at him with dumbfounded faces.


    Just who is this kid? How dare hee to the Array Masters'' Association when he''s just a beginner? Is he mocking them?


    "You know, even the most talented Array Master in the Spirit Heaven in thest 500 years had to study for nine full months before he could be an official Array Master, and you''re already trying to be one a week after you started studying? Although I like ambitious men, you''re way over your head with this one." The beautiful woman said.


    "As a fellow Spirit Lord, I don''t want to be too harsh on you, but you''re mocking us— all of the Array Masters bying here today." The handsome man said.


    After a moment of silence, the old manughed, "What''s the harm in letting him try? I''m sure it''ll be more entertaining than thest couple hundred entries."


    "Are you sure, Senior Huang? It will definitely be a waste of time." The handsome man said.


    ''Huang…?'' Yuan raised his eyebrows upon hearing this familiar surname. Surely, it must be a coincidence, right?


    "It''s fine. We have nothing but time. Let''s see… Yuan. The Array Master assessment will consist of three separate tests. The first one will test your ability to memorize and draw array symbols. The second test will test the speed you canbine the array symbols and activate it. As for thest test, we will test the strength of your array."


    "Do you have any questions?"


    Seeing Yuan shake his head, Senior Huang nodded and said, "Good. Then let''s start the assessment. For the first test, I want you to create as much of the 10,000 basic array symbols as you can in 5 minutes. Every symbol you create must be unique and cannot be repeated."


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    "You will need at least 3,000 proper array symbols to be considered passing."


    Yuan nodded and closed his eyes to recall all 10,000 basic symbols inside his head.


    Once he was ready, he began creating the array symbols at a ludicrous speed.


    Dozens of array symbols flew out of his palm every second, quickly filling the room with perfectly drawn array symbols.


    "This motherfucker…" The handsome man subconsciously cursed out loud when he saw how perfect the array symbols were, not to mention how quickly they were being created.


    Although many Array Masters, even amateur Array Masters, can create array symbols at the speed Yuan was making them, they would not be able to create array symbols with quality that can match the ones Yuan was creating even if they were given all the time in the world.


    Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye for the judges when they were absorbed by Yuan''s beautiful array symbols, which is an incredible feat, considering that most examinees are disqualified before they can even use up all 5 minutes.


    In the end, Yuan had only managed to create 9,000 array symbols before the time was up, meaning that he created around 30 array symbols every second, which is already faster than what most Array Masters can achieve after many years of practice.


    And out of 9,000 of these array symbols, all of them have passed the quality check. In fact, they were the most beautiful array symbols that these judges have seen in a very long time.


    "Did I pass the first test?" Yuan asked them when none of them spoke even after 5 minutes had passed.


    ''T-This bastard is definitely mocking us! There''s no way that he''d only been studying arrays for a week!'' The handsome man gritted his teeth in anger.


    The other two judges also doubted Yuan''s ims since it would be ludicrous that he can create such wless array symbols after studying arrays for a week.


    However, none of them said anything to Yuan, and they continued the test.


    "You passed the first test…" Senior Huang said in a stiff voice, and he continued, "For the second test, we will give you three arraybinations for you to do for yourself. In order to pass this test, two of your three arraybinations must activate properly. Even if you can create array symbols wlessly,bining them is a different story."


    "Let us know when you''re ready to begin."


    "I am ready." Yuan immediately said.


    "Good, then I will start first."


    Senior Huang proceeded to create an arraybination that consisted of a little over 150 symbols.


    The beautiful woman went next, and her arraybination consisted of around 120 array symbols.


    The handsome man wasst.


    ''If you think you can mock us and get away with it, then you''re gravely mistaken!'' He sneered inwardly.


    The handsome man proceeded to create his arraybination with around 30 array symbols, which is much lower than the others, but the other two judges frowned when they saw his arraybination.


    ''This idiot is using level 3 array symbols in an assessment meant for entry-level Array Masters…'' Senior Huang sighed inwardly.


    Just like every other profession in the cultivation world, Array Masters also have a hierarchy system to separate the inexperienced from the experienced.


    Array Masters are separated into 9 different levels with level 1 Array Masters being the lowest in the hierarchy, and the higher level the array symbol, the more difficult they are to create andbine.


    The judges are supposed to use only level 1 array symbols for the Array Master assessment, but after feeling ridiculed by Yuan''s results in the first test, the handsome man decided to take matters into his own hand by upping the difficulty, as he believed that Yuan wasn''t the beginner that he ims to be.
