Chapter 993: Chapter 992: Delilah Ferguson [Third update, seeking votes]

Although there was a mistake in the examination paper, Yusuf Zuck naturally passed the written test thanks to the fair judgement of the Sect Master.

Without further incident that night, when the master and disciple duo returned to the square the next day, many who saw them gave Yusuf Zuck several curious looks.

In the past, Rafael Case attracted all the attention, so nobody really noticed the menial disciple by his side, even if this menial disciple had reached the Cultivation Level of Heavenly Immortal Sixth Rank, it didn’t mean much.

There were many young prodigies who shone brightly at a young age, exceptional and gifted, but who later found themselves lacking in further progress.

Rafael Case was a living example. At twenty, he reached First Grade Golden Immortal, which was monstrous, but after turning twenty, he hadn’t advanced an inch, proving early success doesn’t guarantee eternal glory.

Of course, the reason why so many people were paying attention to this menial disciple named Zayden Newton today was that somehow news of yesterday’s incident had leaked: Zayden Newton had insulted Vice-Chancellor Edison Yates on his answer sheet, calling him out for having a sick brain!

While many wanted to curse the questions set by Edison Yates, no one else dared to openly write such curses on their answer sheets; at most, they would curse in their own minds. Yet Zayden Newton had openly written it out.

It seemed Zayden Newton had fully inherited his master Rafael Case’s flair, appearing a bit foolish, so many were eager to see what kind of idiot he was.

"Are you Zayden Newton?" Just as Yusuf Zuck waddled behind Rafael Case into the square, a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl, accompanied by four or five youths, approached Yusuf Zuck and Rafael Case.

Yusuf Zuck immediately recognized the girl as the one who had turned in her examination paper first the day before, and the other youths had also submitted theirs before him.

Rafael Case turned and glanced at the girl and the young men, his gaze flickering, but he remained silent.

"I am Zayden Newton. What’s the matter?" Yusuf Zuck’s tone was indifferent, scrutinizing the girl without any inhibition, as she spoke with an air of condescension, as if she saw herself as a person of high status.

"Very well, I just wanted to know who Zayden Newton was, heh." After saying this somewhat inexplicably, the girl led her group into the square.

Once the girl left, Rafael Case spoke in a low voice, "She’s an Inner Sect Disciple, Delilah Ferguson, Grade Eight Dail, and also the daughter of Edison Yates’ sister-in-law."

"Oh, so this Delilah Ferguson has to call Edison Yates ’Uncle’, right?" Yusuf Zuck raised an eyebrow.

"Exactly, this girl is only sixteen, a natural talent, and she is also a disciple from the five other colleges. This is her last college. Although I have status and position, I’m nothing in front of her!"

"You dare to mention your status and position? But what do you mean by ’disciple from the five other colleges’?" Yusuf Zuck countered.

"Four years ago, at the age of twelve, she enrolled to the Five Elements College and achieved first place."

"Three years ago, at thirteen, she applied to the Tool Path College and also came in first."

"Two years ago, at fourteen, she competed at the Talisman Way College and again, she was first."

"A year ago, at the age of fifteen, she was the first when the Formation Path Sect was recruiting disciples,"

"This year she has come to the Alchemy College again and is likely to take first place. Then she’ll be practicing simultaneously in all five colleges and is also among the top of the Inner Sect Disciples. Therefore, this woman will surely be one of the Seed Hall disciples in the future and might even enter the high ranks of the Sect, becoming an elder."

"She’s a monster!" Yusuf Zuck was greatly shocked. Damn, isn’t this girl too stunning? She’s only sixteen years old, and she defeated everyone at twelve? If she’s not a monster, what is she?

"There are rumors that she’s received a legendary inheritance, and others say she’s the illegitimate daughter of an Immortal; there are also rumors of her being the reincarnation of an Immortal, and so on. But as to whose daughter she is, even I do not know. All I know is that when her mother, Alice Ferguson, went out for experience, she returned pregnant and gave birth to her within the Sect. As for the father’s identity, Alice Ferguson has never told anyone. Of course, it’s also possible she’s a child born out of wedlock; that Alice Ferguson was quite promiscuous, but she had good looks, tsk tsk—" the lecherous old man was getting carried away, even tutting twice.

"Even if she is a child born out of wedlock, how could she cultivate so quickly? Too demonic, right?" Yusuf Zuck was full of confusion. Sixteen years old and already a Great Luo Eighth Rank? That was beyond belief.

"Hmm, indeed very demonic. She could speak at one, run at two, fly at three, and by four, she had read thousands of books. At five years old, she was already a damn Golden Immortal..."

"He is also a disciple in name under Jimmie Campbell, the Sect Master, and the goddaughter to many elders; the heads of the five colleges of Campbell Sect have all taken her as a disciple in name. Now the only one left is the Alchemy College. Once she secures first place, my mentor will probably come out of seclusion to accept her as his disciple in name."

Yusuf Zuck asked meaningfully, "Well, what about the entourage following her? They seem like geniuses with heaven-sent talents too!"

"Entourage? If you take them for mere followers, you are mistaken. Each of those is an Inner Sect Disciple—who among them isn’t a Great Luo, and who doesn’t have some background?"

"Just because I have no children doesn’t mean other old-timers don’t. As the Sect grows larger, generation after generation will emerge, including my master’s Campbell family tree, which has branished and spread within the Campbell Sect, with over a hundred descendants!"

"Heh, I don’t care about the others. Right now, I just want to quickly become a Seed Disciple, to have more opportunities to enter the core area." Yusuf Zuck said with a chuckle.

"Oh right, there’s something I forgot to mention." Rafael Case suddenly transmitted with his Divine Sense, "Yesterday when I went to the scripture vault, I also looked into some secrets about the Campbell Sect. It’s very likely that within the Campbell Sect there are top-grade spirit stones!"

"What?" Yusuf Zuck’s expression shook; this was indeed great news.

"It’s possible. I’m not clear on the exact situation, though. I looked into records about that year’s bounty with top-grade spirit stones, and back then the Sect Master of the Campbell Sect participated too, joining in the effort to eliminate that second-rate Sect."

"However, it’s not specified who ultimately took them down, nor who ended up with the Superior Immortal Spirit Stones. But, since the Sect Master of the Campbell Sect was interested in the Superior Immortal Spirit Stones, after so many years, he must have gotten a couple, right?"

"Good, you make deductions from one thing to infer others and even thought to look up old bounty cases to find clues about the Superior Immortal Spirit Stones. It seems I didn’t help increase your Cultivation Level in vain; you are teachable!" Yusuf Zuck looked at Rafael Case appreciatively.

"Hehe, it’s my duty to serve you, Master!"

As the two communicated with Divine Sense, they entered the center of the examination venue. Today’s number of examinees was halved from yesterday, around ten thousand or so, and once Rafael Case brought Yusuf Zuck to the exam area, he left straight away.

Today was the interview stage, meaning one had to respond to the examiner’s questions. Whatever they might ask, you had to answer correctly, or else you would be eliminated.

"Zayden Newton, over here, get ready for the exam!" Yusuf Zuck was called into a small group by yesterday’s invigilator, and within that group were also about a hundred people. Most importantly, Yusuf Zuck noticed that in this small group was Delilah Ferguson and many others who had turned in their papers early the day before—seemingly, everyone in this group was exceptional!
