418 Is He Still Human?
An hour later…
“F*ck! Is this person even human?”
Everyone was looking at Yuchi incredulously. His final score was already out, and despite the examiner’s best efforts, he had managed a full score.
The examiner was staring at him with undisguised respect. Honestly, Yuchi’s answers were so good that they even went beyond the scope of the topic. Had extra marks been available, he would have earned them.
This kind of thing was very surprising to others, but to Yuchi himself, this kind of thing was simply too easy, which was why he only took five minutes to finish the assessment paper.
In fact he had not even needed five minutes. He had finished almost instantly, but chose not to hand in his paper, as he did not want to attract too much attention. However, things still ran counter to his expectations.

Then, just as the second assessment was about to begin, one of the students finally could not hold it in anymore.
He stood up and directly asked the examiner the question that was on everyone’s minds, “I would like to ask if the exam questions this time have been leaked. That would be extremely unfair to the rest of us, and very damaging to the Alchemist Guid’s reputation!”
After the student finished speaking, his gaze fell on Yuchi. His meaning was very obvious, which was that Yuchi had cheated.
This was understandable.
If Yuchi did not cheat, how could he finish the assessment paper in five minutes?

Such a thing had never happened before!
Yuchi was not angry at all when he heard this. Perhaps being a demigod was indeed a type of cheating.
If accusing him of cheating made them feel better, then so be it. In any case, he was only here to learn how to refine a divine spark, and would not be living in the Alchemist Valley after achieving his goal.
Yuchi’s silence made the person feel more confident, believing that it was due to Yuchi feeling guilty.
“I think this should be strictly investigated, or perhaps we should have him retake the assessment!”
“Otherwise, there’s no way we’ll believe that this result is the real thing!”
“If word of this gets out, the Alchemist Guild will lose its credibility, and no one will bother coming here to learn anymore.”
This student’s words emboldened the other students, and they started clamoring as well.
Then, indicating for everyone to be silent, the examiner walked over to Yuchi and said, “I’m sorry, Brother. This time, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but the talent you’ve displayed is just too amazing. So if you don’t mind, since your knowledge of alchemy is so outstanding, please take the assessment again.”
“Even if you can’t get full marks in the end, as long as you can score more than 90 points, then it’ll be my fault, and I’ll definitely apologize to you.”
After the examiner heard the students clamoring, he began to doubt his own judgment. Despite the comprehensiveness and accuracy of Yuchi’s answers, he felt swayed by their arguments.
This was because the entire incident was simply too unbelievable.
How could he get full marks in such a short time? It had never happened before.
Yuchi was not bothered by this.
“Alright, since everyone has doubts about this matter, I don’t mind satisfying your doubts and concerns. Please come up with a new assessment paper so that we can get this over and done with. I’d like to move on to the next assessment as soon as possible.”
When the examiner heard this, he also nodded his head.
“I’m sorry. Please wait here for a moment. I’ll get the high-level alchemists to come over. In less than ten minutes, the new assessment paper will be ready.”
Yuchi nodded.
The reason why he agreed was very simple. It was because Yuchi felt that since he was a foreigner who came to study alchemy, he should respect others a little. It would not take him much time either, and would help clear the air for his future assessments.
Incidentally, the commotion attracted the attention of the other people in the Alchemist Guild, who were puzzled by the sudden situation.
Why were there so many high-level alchemists suddenly heading to the test venue? Could it be that something big had happened? The others looked at each other, not quite understanding what was going on.
