The four people named were still frozen in place. While Ling with a relaxed step forward to the front of the class. All eyes were on him. No one believes he's going to graduate.
Liam started to advance, followed by Su Qiang and Ye Xuang. As for Wuzhou, it was somehow already beside Ling. He clenched his hands tightly. The details are clearly visible. From his actions he looked angry, but his face was smiling warmly.
"Congratulations, you passed. I didn't expect this. My mom and dad are so happy to hear this news. I know that you wrote carelessly and that was also the result of cheating from Young Master Zhuo. At least you've tried" Wuzhou told Ling. His words disgusted Ling.
"Thank you for your compliment" Ling replied lazily.
Old Master Zhao frowned. "You're Chen Ling?"
"Yes, Old Master," Ling replied politely.
"You can even answer correctly 11 types of medicinal plants. You're so great," praised Old Master Zhao.
"This can't be just a coincidence" Old Master Zhao said.
Wuzhou was surprised. He answered only 9. "Sorry Old Master, aren't there only ten types?" ask Wuzhou.
"Don't you know that the wood for the box is also medicinal?" old Master Zhao asked displeased.
Wuzhou rounded his eyes. He checked the box again. Aye! It's a medicinal ingredient. He didn't realize it. But how could Ling the trash understand about medicinal ingredients? He can even answer everything correctly.
Old Master Zhao looked at him unhappily. Wuzhou is a little embarrassed now. He could not offend anyone from Shadow City.
"This is your star. Gather as many of these stars as possible" said Master Yuan giving them one by one.
The star is made of real gold. It is small and looks very luxurious. Gold is like this, only nobles can have it. Kids can't get that from their parents either. But now they get that when they win the test.
"I admire you. This is one more star for you," Old Master Zhao handed the star to Ling. He really likes Ling because of his ability. He looked at Ling meaningfully.
Wuzhou who saw that was filled with emotions. "Old Master Zhao, isn't that so unfair? Everyone deserves one star, but why did he get two? Is the person from Shadow City like this?" said Wuzhou who blatantly insulted Old Master Zhao.
Old Master Zhao just smiled looking at Wuzhou. His gaze looked at Wuzhou pity. "If you can't at least don't talk much" Old Master Zhao said condescendingly.
Wuzhou clenched his hands tightly. The little star he held pierced his palm so it bled. The anger is at the top. His hatred for Ling also grew. Now Old Master Zhao insulted him for Ling.
He is the teacher's favorite genius. He was never punished, let alone insulted. Today he got two at once. He would never forgive Ling.
You just wait, Inner Wuzhou glanced at Ling cynically.
"You can go back. The lesson will continue tomorrow" said Mr. Yuan.

"Do you know the most complete library in the city?" ling asked Liam after they sat in the car.
"certain. You want to go there?" ask Liam again.
"Yes" Ling replied briefly.
"The driver went to the library downtown" Liam ordered his driver. The driver drove the car slowly.
"Who are Ye Xuang and Su Qiang?" ling asked curiously at the two test winners.
"Ye Xuang is Master Ye's nephew. He is a genius but rarely shows himself. His family was also mostly herb experts so it was no wonder he was able to win the test today. But their families are not power-crazed parties so they have never competed business with my Zhuo Family. They were busy developing genius children with the potions they had. After that a decent genius child would be sent abroad. Therefore they do not really show themselves in Urban City because their hope is to go abroad," said Liam gave an explanation about Ye Xuang.
"While Su Qiang was the son of an ordinary rich man. He also only became rich a few months after his parents' business increased rapidly. So I don't really know about him and his abilities" Liam continued, explaining about Su Qiang.
Ling nodded in understanding. Ye Xuang was a genius man with a good family background. He became a potion expert because of family ancestry. While Su Qiang was an innocent bespectacled woman who had always been quiet in the training arena. Ling did not expect that Su Qiang was powerful enough even on par with Liam who came from a large family of herbologists.
"Why are you so stupid to only answer 7?" ask Ling blatantly.
Liam was a little surprised by Ling's question, but he immediately changed his facial expression. "Yes, I do not know the other three medicinal plants. But I do know that the box is a medicinal plant. I think only plants in the box can be written. So I didn't write that box" Liam replied.
"Oh you've started to notice the little things?" asked Ling who got a smile from Liam.
"Wuzhou alone knew that after reading the book for a few hours. You who have been trained and familiar with medicinal plants since childhood even lost to him," said Ling who again pierced Liam's heart.
"really. I've been a little trivial about potions lately" Liam replied looking down embarrassed.
"Are you going to accept the student? I want to learn from you" said Liam.
"I don't want to accept lazy disciples. I won't be a teacher either" Ling replied directly.
In the past, when Ling became a Physician God, everyone wanted to study with him. But there was never one person he accepted because he still wanted to focus on developing his abilities. He also promised himself that he would not accept students if his abilities were still weak. According to Ling, his current ability was very weak so he refused Liam's request.
"I promise I won't be lazy anymore Ling. Come be my teacher" said Liam pleading with Ling.
"No," Ling replied firmly. His intimidating tone made Liam stop pleading.
"Alright," replied Liam resignedly.

In Old Master Zhao's room.
He looked at Ling's response paper carefully. In the right corner of the paper there is a writing that is very familiar to him.
"You really look like my disciple," Old Master Zhao said.
"He always wrote his name on the right corner of the paper. Your same name and a similar form of writing make me nostalgic" he continued.
