Chapter 35 How is this done?
"The second assessment is over."
"Corruption assessment, first place: Xu Ke from Hedongfang."
Xu Ke again?
In the tea room, after hearing the announcement of the results of the second assessment, all the shop owners turned their heads to look at Liu Yongtian, who was sitting in the corner.
"Old Liu, didn't you say that he is only good at provoking spells? Didn't you say that his other spells are mediocre? Didn't you say that he has exhausted his potential?"
Xishanfang turned to look at Liu Yongtian, his eyes widened, "You old guy, you don't have a single word of truth in your mouth, you're just fooling people."
"This...hehe..."
Hedong Fangzheng Liu Yongtian smiled and shook his head, "Actually, I really didn't know he was so powerful. This kid is really unexpected!"
"Okay, why are you talking nonsense?"
All the squares rolled their eyes at each other, expressing their contempt for Liu Yongtian's pretentious gesture.
Liu Yongtian shook his head helplessly, "What I said is true, why don't you believe it?"
—
The third assessment session begins.
This time the test is "Rainfall".
Deacon Wang ordered a copper basin to be placed in front of every disciple participating in the assessment.
"I know that many people think that the rain technique is useless. They just practiced the rain technique to cope with the assessment."
After the copper basins were distributed, Deacon Wang stood up and glanced at everyone, his face became very serious.
"As the deacon of the Temple of Sinon, I can tell you responsibly that the rain spell is one of the most critical spells for cultivators."
"You are only cultivating low-grade spiritual fields now, and you are planting the most basic crops. Once you are promoted and need to cultivate middle-grade or even high-grade spiritual fields, the importance of the rain technique will be reflected."
"For example: An elixir called Youyuetan requires extremely high planting requirements. Every time you use the rain technique to water it, you must be accurate to the point, otherwise, the elixir will fail to grow."
"There are many, many examples like this. Therefore, this Rainfall Art assessment is about your ability to control the Rainfall Art!"
"Now, I announce the exam questions."
"Each of you has a copper basin in front of you. I want you to cast a rain spell on the copper basin. The amount of rain is one inch and three and a half centimeters. If the error is within one point, it is considered qualified. Each person has three chances."
Hearing this exam question, there was an uproar in the field.
This question...is too difficult!
When practicing Rainfall before, no one thought about it from this angle. No matter whether Rainfall was cast fast enough and smooth enough, who would deliberately control the amount of rainfall?
Now, not only the amount of rainfall has to be controlled, but also accurate to the minute, which is simply too difficult.
Even Xu Ke felt that this question was a bit of a test.
To accurately control the amount of rainfall and ensure that the water in the copper basin is one-three-fifths of an inch, it is necessary to maintain precise spiritual power control at all times during the process of casting the Rainfall spell.
Moreover... the volume of this copper basin has not been measured yet, so it is impossible to accurately judge how much water vapor needs to be collected and how much rainwater will fall if the accumulated water is one inch and three and a half centimeters.
If you want to successfully pass the test by casting a spell once, you must also know the volume of the copper basin. This is the minimum necessary known condition.
Thinking of this, Xu Ke got up quickly, bowed to Deacon Wang, and said, "I want to report to Deacon, I have a question."
"oh?"
Deacon Wang glanced at Xu Ke, nodded, "Speak!"
"The disciple wants to borrow a ruler, may I allow it?"
Xu Ke quickly asked this question.
"Borrow a ruler?"
Deacon Wang shook his head when he heard Xu Ke's question, "There is no ruler, you can figure out your own way."
I've given you three chances, so I don't need to tell you how much water the copper basin can hold?
After casting the spell for the first time, it will be checked whether it is qualified. The result of this test is a benchmark. Compared with this benchmark, it may be increased or decreased, and there are two chances of casting spells. How can it pass?
This question looks difficult, but it is not intentionally difficult.
"Are there any questions?"
After answering Xu Ke's question, Deacon Wang glanced at everyone again and asked again.
The disciples present did not ask any more questions.
"Since there are no problems, let's start!"
After finishing speaking, Deacon Wang reached out and knocked on the jade chime on the case table, "Now, the assessment begins!"
With an order, everyone cast spells one after another.
Assessment requires that the water in the copper basin should be 1.35 centimeters of an inch. As long as you are not stupid, you know that you must first determine how much water the copper basin can hold.
So, some people cast the rain spell, first fill the copper basin. Some people cast spells towards the target of one inch, three quarters and five millimeters of water according to their own calculations.
Although the choices were different, none of them hoped that the spell would pass the first time, but used it as a benchmark for the next spell.
Xu Ke did not do this.
Deacon Wang said, "I don't have a ruler, I have to figure out my own way", that is to say, I can use other things instead of the ruler.
Not having a ruler is not a problem, don’t I still have a sword?
This sword, with a blade length of three feet, is an export product of Zongmen Sword Making Hall. Mass-produced things must be standardized in size, just like a ruler.
Xu Ke reached out and pulled out the long sword at his waist, using the sword as a ruler, to measure the size of the copper basin.
Just a simple calculation, Xu Ke knew the volume of the copper basin. Then, one liter of water is two catties, and after converting the units, it is immediately calculated how much water is needed for one inch and three quarters of an inch of accumulated water.
The answers are all out, so what are you talking about?
With a wave of his hand, Xu Ke cast a "Dacheng" level rain technique, which is enough, and no higher level is necessary.
The spell is cast instantly, and the spiritual power diffuses, continuously gathering water vapor, condensing the gas into clouds, and cumulus clouds into rain.
A small group of cumulonimbus clouds hung over the copper basin, and the rain fell with a splash, and fell into the copper basin accurately, with a "tick" sound.
The rain keeps falling, and the water in the basin keeps rising.
When the stagnant water just reached 1.35mm, the cumulonimbus clouds gathered over the copper basin just dissipated, and the last drop of rain fell into the copper basin with a "tick".
Seeing this situation, Deacon Wang's eyes flashed with approval.
It turned out that the spell was instant again, and the rain spell had already been completed, and the spell control and spiritual power manipulation were very smooth, and there was a feeling of control. good! good!
Before he gestured at the copper basin with his sword, he should be measuring the size of the copper basin. I don’t know if he calculated it accurately. Now, it depends on whether he can pass the test.
Deacon Wang waved his hand, "Start testing!"
Several executive disciples stepped forward, took out a measuring needle, and began to test the results of the first round of casting.
"The stagnant water is one inch and six points, unqualified!"
"Ninety-three cents of accumulated water, unqualified!"
"Five inches and four points of accumulated water, unqualified!"
The test results are reported one by one. All test results, there is no one qualified.
Obviously, everyone made up their minds to use the first spellcasting as a benchmark for trial and error, and they didn't expect to pass the assessment in the first round.
When Xu Ke was detected here, the situation was different!
"One inch and three quarters, qualified!"
After the result was reported, everyone looked at Xu Ke as if they had seen a ghost.
The spell passed the first time? And it is in full compliance with the standard, exactly!
how did you do that?
