Chapter 58: What You Picked Up Isn't Necessarily Yours | Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans]

Inside the examination hall.
Not many students had come this time. There weren’t many in Nan Yuan who had come into contact with the Willpower Texts and Divine Runes, and not many from Great Xia Mansion who could access them at this stage.
Some people may not have had any contact with them, but they weren’t willing to give up or just wanted to see what was happening, so they came along.
Su Yu glanced around, seeing only about a hundred or so students.
Soon, the group arrived at the highest floor of the examination hall.
In front of them was a sealed classroom, guarded by city guards at the door.
Director Sun looked at the two chief examiners from the Civilization Academy. They exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
Soon, Researcher Huang turned to face the group and said sternly, “This round mainly assesses willpower, Divine Runes, resilience, and other comprehensive abilities!”
“As mentioned before, students who have not had any contact with these must be careful!”
“Divine Rune outlining, outlining completely. Everyone’s Divine Runes are different, even the same text has different characteristics. Simply assessing Divine Runes can’t really reveal much.”
“If they are all complete Divine Runes, how do we distinguish strength and weakness? How do we give different scores?”
“Therefore, the Civilization Academy’s assessment, at this stage, will have some special identification methods. Those students who have outlined Divine Runes but haven’t completely finished them can also get some extra credit.”
Behind him, some students who didn’t understand couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher, a Divine Rune that hasn’t been completely outlined doesn’t have any characteristics. And our willpower hasn’t materialized, so we can’t really display it. Whether we’ve outlined a Divine Rune or not depends entirely on what we say. If we don’t say anything, no one will know, right?”
In other words, if I want to trick you into thinking I’ve outlined one, but I haven’t, you wouldn’t be able to tell, right?
Researcher Huang smiled, “If you’re harboring thoughts of getting by with luck or just going through the motions, then I can only say you’re thinking too much. The Civilization Academy’s assessment has been going on for hundreds of years. There may have been some loopholes in the early stages, but they have long been filled.”
“The mystery of Civilization Masters is beyond your imagination!”
“In the examination hall ahead of you, there is a Divine Rune that is specifically used for assessment.”
“When you go in later, those who have read the Willpower Texts should know that there will be a certain amount of pressure. The inside is the same. If your willpower and Divine Runes don’t meet the standards, you will soon be deterred and unable to stay inside.”
As he spoke, Researcher Huang explained, “You’ll understand later. If you can’t bear it after entering, come out on your own. If you can’t get out, call the examiner for help. Don’t try to endure it. If you damage your willpower sea, you’ll be ignorant and regret it when it’s too late!”
“I hope that those who want to enter the Civilization Academy are all smart people, not idiots! If you don’t even have self-awareness, then such people don’t deserve to become Civilization Masters. So, the assessment carries a certain degree of danger, but we still insist on using this method of assessment!”
Researcher Huang said sternly, “We hope that students have courage, perseverance, and resilience, but we don’t want students to be blindly arrogant and have no clear understanding of themselves. Such students… shouldn’t waste resources at the academy!”
Su Yu raised his hand and, after the examiner nodded, hurriedly said, “Teacher, how is it graded?”
“You’ll understand when you go in!”
Researcher Huang didn’t say much, looked at the city guards, and said, “Let them enter!”
Students began to enter one by one, and Su Yu followed them in. Inside was a spacious room, very simple, with nothing unusual to see.
However, at the front of the classroom, there was a small platform.
On it was a bone-like book, which Su Yu thought might be the original copy of a Myriad Races cultivation technique.
At this time, several examiners also entered.
Researcher Huang, the old man from Nine Heavens Academy, and Director Sun were there, but Wu Wenhai didn’t come.
They walked directly to the platform at the front. After the students entered one after another, Researcher Huang said again, “Wait behind the red line. If anyone can’t stand it, withdraw on your own!”
As he spoke, Su Yu felt a wave of willpower, vast as the sea!
At least, that was how it felt to him!
Researcher Huang seemed to be activating something, perhaps the Divine Rune he had mentioned.
The next moment, a golden light rose up.
Su Yu and the others only saw a burst of light in front of them and couldn’t see anything else.
“Students who want to be assessed, move forward! The farther you go, the higher the score!”
…………
Some hazy sounds came from his ears. At this moment, Su Yu felt like he had entered a dream.
The surrounding classmates had disappeared!
Su Yu opened his eyes, and he seemed to have entered a different world.
All around him was a white expanse.
“Is this… created by a Divine Rune?”
Su Yu was stunned. Was this a dream or an illusion?
His little “Blood” brother could also create illusions, but Su Yu could distinguish between truth and falsehood. But now, he felt like he was really in a different world, with a dreamlike feeling.
It was somewhat similar to the feeling he had in his dreams in the past.
“Moving forward gets a high score?”
At this time, Su Yu was really curious about the world of Civilization Masters. Liu Wenyan had said that one word could create a world, and he hadn’t quite understood it before, but now he seemed to have some understanding.
This was just an examination hall in Nan Yuan after all, so the Divine Rune here, even if it was powerful, wouldn’t be too strong.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been brought to Nan Yuan.
This Divine Rune didn’t seem to belong to that researcher himself.
“Could it have already truly materialized… impossible, right?”
Such thoughts flashed through Su Yu’s mind. He had heard that truly materializing a Divine Rune required a very high realm. Among the past generation of mansion lords, it seemed that only one had left behind a truly materialized Divine Rune.
With many messy thoughts in his mind, Su Yu quickly stopped thinking about it and just decided to move forward!

Only by going far could he get first place and get back the 20 merit points he had lost.
Su Yu took a step…
With this step, Su Yu felt something different.
The pressure was great!
There seemed to be a wall of air in front of him, blocking his progress.
“Willpower…”
Su Yu muttered to himself, and the next moment, the “blood” younger brother in his mind twitched, as if a little excited, vibrating in his mind. The invisible air wall in front of Su Yu seemed to disappear.
Su Yu began to step forward.
He remembered that he was probably less than 50 meters away from the examiners, and he would be able to walk over quickly.
“I can’t see ahead, will I run into the wall?”
Su Yu thought wildly for a moment. 50 meters is very close, and he can walk over quickly.
…………
Just as Su Yu and the others were trapped in this simple world.
Several examiners stood beside the platform, looking at the students in front of them. At this moment, these students were all staring, with various expressions, walking around the field randomly.
Researcher Huang glanced at them, waved his hand, and streaks of blood-colored marks shot out, instantly adding a blood-colored mark above the heads of dozens of students.
“Take these students away!”
Soon, more examiners entered the field and entered the circle of students, taking away the dozens of students.
It wasn’t until they were taken out of the range covered by the divine script that these people woke up in a daze, looked around, and were all a little sluggish.
Where did they just go?
Obviously, they were in a classroom, why did it suddenly feel like the world had changed?
“If you didn’t persist for 1 minute, you won’t get extra points, you can leave!”
Researcher Huang’s voice came out, and the examiners who entered the field began to expel the students. Someone hurriedly said, “Teacher, the exam is not over yet, we…”
“The assessment is not for watching a show, get out!”
Researcher Huang’s tone was cold, “If you don’t leave, you will be disqualified from the assessment and will not be admitted!”
As soon as these words came out, these dozens of students dared not say a word and followed the examiners away.
As they left, looking at the students who were still left behind, they were all filled with envy and jealousy. They knew that they had been eliminated in this level and had zero points.
Looking back again, Su Yu and the others were actually just spinning around in the same place.
A few students had moved forward a little, but not far.
The most conspicuous was Wu Lan, standing out from the crowd, currently walking at the forefront, having walked at least 10 meters.
And the second was not Su Yu, but Zhou Tianqi, who had also walked six or seven meters.
Su Yu felt like he had walked a long way, but in reality, he had only walked two or three meters.
…………
After those students left, Researcher Huang was no longer serious and looked at the students in the classroom, laughing: “These little guys probably think they are lost. They have been walking for so long, why haven’t they seen us yet…”
Director Sun also laughed and said, “I also tried it back then, and finally walked 5 meters and got 50 points. I was quite lucky. At that time, I hadn’t even outlined the divine script.”
“That’s normal. After all, only a few students have outlined the divine script. Generally, if you have outlined the divine script, it’s not a big problem to walk about 10 meters.”
Researcher Huang said, looking at Su Yu again, “He probably outlined it, maybe even a complete one, but his willpower is too weak, and the power of the divine script is too small. If a complete divine script really reaches the nurturing stage, it probably won’t be a problem to walk 20 meters, but it will be difficult for him.”
Director Sun sighed softly: “It is a bit difficult, but he should only be slightly worse than Wu Lan. Zhou Tianqi probably can’t compare to him. Zhou Tianqi probably didn’t completely outline the divine script, probably just laid the foundation.”
Don’t look at Zhou Tianqi walking farther than Su Yu now, but the few people don’t have high hopes. This guy is already reaching his limit.
Those who can walk more than 5 meters are generally those who have laid the foundation for the divine script.
They glanced over and saw at most 10 people.
This means that at most 10 people in Nanyuan have laid the foundation for the divine script this time.
In previous years, this examination room might not even be opened. This year, it’s mainly because there are more people from Great Xia Mansion. Otherwise, this year, Su Yu might be the only one coming to this examination room to take the exam. Of course, although Liu Yue hasn’t laid the foundation, she has been in contact with it a few times and has also walked two or three meters now.
While several Civilization Masters were chatting, the old man from Nine Heavens Academy turned his head and glanced at the bone book on the platform, which was shining with golden light, and said with some sadness: “What a pity.”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Director Sun and Researcher Huang changed slightly.
“What a pity…” Director Sun said in a deep voice, “No matter how regrettable it is, it’s still better than us! Although it didn’t achieve real manifestation, it was preserved after all. People leave their names behind, and although they have fallen, there are still legends about them!”
Each bone book preserves a divine script.
This is the true cemetery of Civilization Masters, not in terms of the physical body, but in terms of inheritance.
Their divine scripts cannot be truly manifested and preserved. They can only be stored in bone books through some means, and the books record their lives.
These semi-manifested divine scripts are mostly left by Lingyun and Shanhai realm experts.
They are also one of the treasures of the Civilization Academy!
Of course, without the truly manifested divine script, the power is no longer great after the master falls. It’s okay to deal with ordinary Thousand Jun and Myriad Stone realms, but it poses almost no threat to the Ascending Sky realm, making it somewhat useless.
Despite this, the biggest wish of Director Sun and others is to leave a bone book of their own in the Mind Cultivation Pavilion of the Civilization Academy after their death. The Civilization Academy calls it – the Civilization Chronicle.
While the few people were talking, Researcher Huang didn’t delay continuing to mark, and soon, dozens more students were marked with red marks. These were students who couldn’t bear it and were about to be eliminated.

Persisting for one minute, even if you don’t walk one meter, you can get 10 points.
This is also a reward for these people. They can persevere without outlining the divine script, which is their ability.
Fewer and fewer people were left.
…………
“Still haven’t reached it yet?”
At this moment, Su Yu was also a little dazed. Had he entered an illusion?
Whether it’s an illusion, hypnosis, or some other method, he doesn’t care too much now. The key is that he himself is real, so why hasn’t he reached the end after walking around?
“Has the world been magnified?”
Su Yu thought for a moment, suspecting that it might have been magnified. The world of divine script is too mysterious, and he doesn’t understand much.
Just as he was about to move forward, Su Yu’s eyes changed slightly.
Ahead, where there was once a field of white, suddenly appeared a group of demon beasts.
“What’s going on? It feels so similar to my dream…”
“This is fake, definitely fake. We’re still in the classroom, there’s no way there could be demon beasts.”
As he was thinking this, the group of demon beasts suddenly attacked!
At this moment, the “Blood” character divine text in Su Yu’s mind suddenly pulsed, and the next moment, a blood-red divine text appeared before Su Yu’s eyes!
“Blood” little brother came out!
He didn’t know if the outside world could see it, but at this moment he could, and it felt the same as in the dream.
“Hmm?”
Su Yu paused slightly, and the next moment, his eyes lit up. The “Blood” little brother in front of him suddenly transformed into a blood-colored long knife. Su Yu held the knife and slashed at the attacking demon beasts!
*Poof!*
A soft sound rang out, and the next moment, the demon beast at the very front was killed by him.
“Too weak…”
Su Yu’s eyes were strange. Compared to the ferocious demon beasts in his dream, these ones in front of him were too fragile!
In his dream, the demon beasts killed him like killing a chicken, but here, he killed demon beasts like killing chickens. They were very weak.
Su Yu dared to try because these demon beasts didn’t pose any threat to him.
He didn’t feel the constant life-or-death crisis he felt in his dream at all.
The long knife transformed by “Blood” little brother killed the demon beast and seemed to want to absorb blood, but… there was no blood to absorb.
However, Su Yu felt that he still absorbed something, but he wasn’t sure what it was.
…………
Just as he killed the demon beast and “Blood” little brother absorbed something, Researcher Huang trembled slightly, and then looked at Su Yu. He couldn’t help but smile and say, “Interesting, what divine text did this little guy outline? It probably has absorption properties. It just absorbed a little bit of my willpower…”
The bone book was opened with his willpower. Just now, a little bit was lost, and the source was on Su Yu’s side.
Although it was very, very little, and had almost no impact on him, he still felt it.
In an instant, he had a guess. Su Yu’s divine text had a certain absorption property, and his willpower was absorbed by his divine text.
Just as he was talking, Researcher Huang saw that Wu Lan seemed a little scared and showed a terrified expression. His eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly transmitted a message: “It’s fake, Wu Lan. Su Yu is already ahead of you, with 30 more points than you. Do you want to be second place? Is that embarrassing?”
“…”
Director Sun glared at him!
Researcher Huang smiled and said, “Just stimulating the students’ fighting spirit. It’s always good to add more points. This is just an assessment. If they’re afraid at this time, I’m worried that they’ll be useless in the future.”
Director Sun said coldly, “Examiners are not allowed to interfere with student assessments. Huang Sheng, I warned you before! The Talent Cultivation Department will suggest that the Civilization Academy deduct your salary for three years. If you dare to do it again, I suggest sending you to the Vanguard Camp of the Demon Suppression Army for three years!”
Researcher Huang’s face stiffened, and he said a little bitterly, “Director Sun, I… just said one sentence…”
“Dare to quibble again, and believe me, I’ll report to the Talent Cultivation Department right now and revoke your assistant researcher qualification!”
Huang Sheng didn’t dare to say anything else, looking helpless.
Liu Hong ah, Liu Hong, this time you have to compensate me for my losses.
The loss is too great!
He didn’t actually dare to cheat or suppress anyone, because there was more than one examiner. But he just gave Wu Lan a slight hint. This Wu family girl completely outlined her divine text, so she shouldn’t be so fragile.
He was just stimulating her fighting spirit. Strictly speaking… it didn’t actually count as cheating. How far Wu Lan goes is her own ability.
But in this kind of situation, as an examiner secretly interfering is a big taboo. If he hadn’t personally intervened, Director Sun could probably have taken him down on the spot.
Wu Lan had originally walked about 15 meters, adding 150 points. Adding that to her previous points, that was 805 points, barely reaching the level of upper-upper grade.
That’s why Wu Lan was upper-middle grade before, and this time she was somewhat confident of reaching upper-upper grade.
But 800 points was only barely entering. It couldn’t compare to some of the monstrous talents.
Even so, an upper-upper grade student was still the top genius in the academy.
At this time, Huang Sheng’s words seemed to have worked. Wu Lan heard his words and immediately became excited. Was she… going to lose?
Impossible!
The next moment, Wu Lan suddenly closed her eyes and gesticulated wildly. No one knew what she was encountering, but she punched the air in front of her for a while, and in the blink of an eye, she actually walked about two more meters.
Director Sun looked at Huang Sheng again, his eyes icy cold.
She got 20 more points, otherwise Wu Lan would have been unable to hold on just now.
Huang Sheng turned his head away, not looking at him. He had already lost three years of salary because of one sentence. And this senior brother still wanted to find fault with him… was he bullying him?
Beside him, the elder from the Nine Heavens Academy smiled without saying a word.
He wasn’t interested in Wu Lan, who was sure to go to the Great Xia Civilization Academy.
But Su Yu… he was a little interested in him.
At this moment, Su Yu had walked almost 10 meters. Coming from behind, he surpassed Zhou Tianqi, who had also walked almost 10 meters. At this moment, he was a small step behind Su Yu.

At this moment, the other students could barely hold on.
One after another, these students were taken out by the examiners.
When Liu Yue regained consciousness, she had walked 3 meters. When she saw that there were only Su Yu and a few others left in the examination hall, Liu Yue sighed softly in her heart, feeling a little envious and a little jealous.
She had known Su Yu for a long time.
Before this, although Su Yu was also very outstanding, compared to her, among the Civilization Academy candidates in Nanyuan Middle School, she ranked first, and Su Yu ranked second.
But this time, in the Civilization Academy assessment, she had 240 points in cultural subjects, 63 points in realm, and an additional 30 points in the final assessment, for a total score of 333 points. She entered the middle grade, but was very far away from Su Yu.
Her merit point bonus was zero. In Nanyuan, she, an Origin Opening Level 4, had nowhere to earn merit points.
With more than 300 points, she entered the middle grade. Compared to the Nanyuan candidates in previous years, she was already very good.
In previous years, there were only a few students from Nanyuan who entered the middle grade in a few years.
But this year, there was an additional Su Yu, who had already entered the upper grade without even considering this level. The gap was getting bigger and bigger.
Liu Yue felt disappointed and quickly left without lingering, her heart inevitably stirred with emotions.
…………
“What a waste…”
Su Yu cursed. At this moment, he was panting heavily. The blood knife in his hand once again transformed into the character “Blood”. The “Blood” little brother seemed to be holding on, tired, and was now also panting, as if wanting to go back to sleep.
It couldn’t hold on anymore!
Su Yu didn’t know how far he had walked, nor could he see the other students around him, but he knew that he definitely hadn’t walked as far as Wu Lan. That idiot probably outlined a complete divine text and reached the Nourishing stage, so he must be moving faster and farther than him.
“Looks like I have to use the ‘Thunder’ little brother.”
Su Yu looked at the constantly emerging demon beasts ahead, feeling somewhat helpless. These demon beasts weren’t dangerous, but they were blocking his way.
His willpower was also being consumed quite a bit. If this continued, he wouldn’t be able to hold on.
“Come out!”
The next moment, a “Thunder” divine text appeared.
Boom!
Like a thunderclap, the “Thunder” little brother unleashed lightning, blasting the demon beasts into pieces. The area in front of him was instantly cleared.
Su Yu was delighted. This thing was indeed more useful than the “Blood” little brother, but it consumed willpower too quickly.
Su Yu felt that his willpower was being consumed rapidly, almost depleted.
However, he could still hold on. These divine texts were nurtured in the sea of willpower and possessed some willpower storage, possessing certain powers. Su Yu hadn’t even used the “Thunder” little brother until now.
And at the moment he activated the “Thunder” divine text, several examiners looked towards him!
“Instantly advanced 3 meters…”
At this moment, Su Yu had already reached about 15 meters, only a little behind Wu Lan.
Director Sun’s expression shifted. “Did you all feel it just now? Was it a second characteristic of a divine text, or did a second divine text appear?”
Su Yu didn’t have the qualifications to manifest externally. Everything at this moment was due to the illusion.
The examiners couldn’t see how many divine texts he had used, they could only feel the presence of different characteristics.
Did Su Yu master a second divine text, or did he only have one, but it had more than one characteristic?
Su Yu’s willpower wasn’t that strong. Logically speaking, he should be doing well to reach around 10 meters. After all, he wasn’t as good as those students who laid the foundation with divine texts during the Nourishing stage. But now, Su Yu was quickly catching up with Wu Lan.
Huang Sheng wasn’t sure either. He shook his head and couldn’t help but say, “How did Bai Feng… manage to find this hidden gem?”
Nanyuan!
To be able to find hidden gems in this place, he was impressed. Da Xia Prefecture was so big, with so many people, and Nanyuan was just a small town, very small. To be able to find talent here, what luck did Bai Feng have!
Director Sun said faintly, “Who said… that whoever finds it gets to keep it!”
“…”
Upon hearing this, Huang Sheng was slightly stunned. The next moment, he couldn’t help but look at Director Sun, “Director Sun… are you going to snatch him away?”
“Not me. I have many classmates in the academy, even teachers!”
Director Sun said indifferently, “Does Bai Feng owning him mean he gets to keep him? Who stipulated that? Does Su Yu have Bai Feng’s name carved on his head?”
Huang Sheng grinned, wanting to laugh, but decided not to.
Anyway, it was Bai Feng’s business, what did it have to do with him?
He didn’t want to take Su Yu in either. If he entered the top tier, he wouldn’t have the opportunity to take him in. But Bai Feng had the qualifications, partly because he was young and a genius of the academy, and partly because his teacher was powerful.
Other assistant researchers weren’t qualified to take in top-tier students. The students wouldn’t choose them either, unless they were close to their family.
