Kou Chengzhi sneered. "When have you ever seen me afraid of anything? I'm just worried that you'll cause trouble for our academy if you lose."
"We won't lose," Zhai Gaoyang said firmly.
"Then let's sign the contract," Kou Chengzhi replied. He didn't trust Zhai Gaoyang at all.
To be precise, he didn't trust anyone from the Fantian Academy.
So if they signed the contract, Zhai Gaoyang wouldn't have a chance to go back on his word.
"Humph. Even if you didn't mention it, I would have proposed signing a contract," Zhai Gaoyang said haughtily. "After all, our Fantian Academy is so excellent. Feng Yuqin will definitely choose our academy. What if you don't let her go then?"
Kou Chengzhi was too lazy to argue with him. He took out the contract, wrote down the terms, and then imprinted his name on it with his spiritual sense.
"Elder Zhai, what if..." The elders from the Fantian Academy were starting to panic when they saw how calm Kou Chengzhi was.
They had a feeling that they might not get back the blood crystals they had wagered.
So the best thing to do was to stop this bet.
"I've added one last clause. Read it carefully before you sign the contract, so you won't think I've tricked you later," Kou Chengzhi kindly reminded him. "Let the others from your academy read it too."
Hearing this, Zhai Gaoyang's eyes fell on the last clause of the contract.
After Feng Yuqin comes out, it must be her own free will.
Otherwise, the people from the Fantian Academy are not allowed to use any means to force her, nor can they cause trouble for her afterwards.
Kou Chengzhi added this clause because the people from the Fantian Academy had no bottom - line when it came to doing things.
It used to be better. At least they had some moral principles.
But in recent years, the people from the Fantian Academy had become more and more arrogant.
So Kou Chengzhi simply didn't trust them.
"Kou Chengzhi, don't you think this clause is redundant?" Zhai Gaoyang said mockingly. "Everyone knows that our Fantian Academy ranks first among the academies in the Divine Realm. As long as we tell her our academy's ranking and that we'll cultivate her whole - heartedly, she'll surely be happy to come to our academy."
"That's a matter for later. Read every clause carefully before you sign. I don't want to argue with you about this later," Kou Chengzhi said coldly. "I'm very busy."
"Humph. No matter what you say, I'm definitely signing this contract," Zhai Gaoyang said. After quickly reading every clause, he signed his name on the contract with his spiritual power.
Then he passed the contract to the other elders behind him.
The other elders didn't look happy.
Zhai Gaoyang had already signed. What was the point of showing it to them now?
Even though they thought this way, they still read it carefully.
For some reason, they all felt uneasy after reading the last clause.
But now they had no way out.
After reading, they silently passed the contract back to Zhai Gaoyang.
After each of them signed the contract, their eyes fell on Feng Yuqin.
At this moment, Feng Yuqin had already finished answering the questions.
After she finished, she didn't stop. Instead, she went to help Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian.
At first, Feng Yuqin didn't plan to help.
After all, it was already great to finish answering the questions within the stipulated time.
But after she answered the bonus questions, she received a message in her mind.
That was, if all the members of the team completed the task within the stipulated time, there would be a reward.
If they could finish it within half of the stipulated time, the reward would be tripled.
Most importantly, she saw several kinds of spiritual herbs and refining materials she needed in the reward list.
Those refining materials were ones she couldn't even find in the Xuanyu Realm.
Moreover, Mo Xuanye had said that it was not easy to obtain those materials.
For the sake of the reward, she didn't mind letting others know that she could refine pills.
After all, Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian couldn't currently meet the requirements for the bonus reward.
So after looking at their situations, she first chose to help Dong Yaxian.
She stood beside Dong Yaxian and told her which option to choose.
Both Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian trusted Feng Yuqin completely.
So as Feng Yuqin told her, Dong Yaxian just blindly made her choices.
"What are they doing?" The people outside were stunned when they saw this.
"What else could they be doing? Of course, it's helping with the answers. After all, this kind of thing has happened before," someone replied.
"But isn't Feng Yuqin a refining master? Why does she also know about pill - refining questions?"
"Could it be that she's also a pill - refiner?"
Hearing this, the others looked at the speaker speechlessly. "Do you think you're not joking? How many people can master two skills at such a young age?"
Moreover, even if someone did practice both, answering the questions required in - depth knowledge of a skill.
Feng Yuqin had answered the refining questions very quickly before.
And there was even a bonus question.
This meant that Feng Yuqin had put a lot of effort into refining.
If she had put so much effort into refining, how could she possibly have the time to learn pill - refining?
And she also had to practice.
Otherwise, if she could only refine but had no strength at all, she wouldn't even be able to protect herself.
"But look at her speed. It's so fast."
"Dong Yaxian is a pill - refiner, and she's not as fast as Feng Yuqin."
"Is Feng Yuqin really that amazing? Could she be just giving random advice?"
"Is that... possible?"
Not only were the people outside shocked, but even Kou Chengzhi and the others were stunned.
Zhai Gaoyang was also a bit dumbfounded. "Isn't Feng Yuqin a refining master? Can she also refine pills?"
"I think if Feng Yuqin is really a genius, it's normal for her to be proficient in two skills," another elder from the Fantian Academy said.
Moreover, judging from Feng Yuqin's current speed, she must be highly proficient.
Otherwise, she couldn't have answered the questions so quickly when she saw them.
As they were talking, after Feng Yuqin helped Dong Yaxian finish answering the questions, she went to Zhao Yuanyuan's side.
"What is Feng Yuqin doing?"
"Could she be going to help Zhao Yuanyuan?"
"I think it's possible."
"Look, she's already started giving advice to Zhao Yuanyuan."
In fact, Feng Yuqin was indeed giving advice to Zhao Yuanyuan.
The questions got more and more difficult as they went on.
They could answer the earlier ones quickly.
But they couldn't do the same for the later ones.
Feng Yuqin was highly proficient in pill - refining.
She surely wasn't bad at cultivation either.
So she calculated the time while helping Zhao Yuanyuan answer the questions.
When the time for answering the questions ended, they had just managed to finish within exactly half of the stipulated time.
At the same time, a voice sounded in Kou Chengzhi's mind. "What's going on at the challenge?"
"Dean, there's an absolute genius," Kou Zhichao immediately replied.
The other person pondered for a moment and said, "Keep the person here until I leave seclusion."
