Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 328: Preliminary Test

Crimson Heartʼs mouth was slightly agape as she wondered how Xu Feng managed to snatch a seat faster than her.

Hell, the other contestants even seemed to be terrified of Xu Feng as they avoided him completely.

They even went as far as keeping their distance from him when going for another contestant who had a seat to target.

ʼI have the Tier 3 offensive scrolls, but what did he have that made them afraid?ʼ Crimson Heart found the player Lin Feng to be even more mysterious.

She thought her progress was already hard to defeat by many, but out of nowhere, a player had a participation slot just like her.

Worse, they seemed to be even more capable than her.

She utilized Tier 3 offensive scrolls to deter others from targeting her, but Xu Feng didnʼt seem to be using any scrolls.

In fact, his gears looked even more shabby than hers.

Alas, her confusion and doubts could only be intensified as the conductor, Yaren, stood up and announced the end of the mini-test.

”Alright, those who had managed to remain seated, I must congratulate you for passing the mini-test.” Yaren smiled briefly, before turning cold as she gazed at those who were unable to get one.

”Those who failed to get one can leave now. You are disqualified and unwelcomed.” She announced.

”No, I can still get one!” An unwilling contestant rebuked her and attempted to continue his assault on a near-defeated contestant.

Clearly, they were just a little off from stealing the seat.

However, before he could take another step forward, the unwilling contestant received a massive shockwave and crashed into the wall, creating a large hole in the process.

The unwilling contestant coughed a mouthful of blood, their eyes turning hasty.

Meanwhile, Yarenʼs expression remained frosty as she turned to the healers who were about to make a move.

”No need to heal them. Grab the disqualified contestant and send them to prison. If he has no background, then break their hands, but if they do, then send a message back to them. Tell them that he offended me and must give an answer to me.” She coldly commanded.

The healers nodded swiftly, beads of sweat could be seen on their foreheads when they heard the ruthless command.

Without hesitation, the healers dragged the near-dead unwilling contestant away from the section.

As for those who were still unwilling to accept the result of their failure, they all shrunk their necks back from fear once Yaren gazed at them.

”Does anyone have any complaints with my announcement?” She asked softly.

Instantaneously, all disqualified contestants shook their heads simultaneously.

”Good, then exit for yourself.” Yaren nodded and pointed at the door.

Shortly after the disqualified contestants quickly exited the section themselves, afraid of angering Yaren, the section now only had a little bit over 50 contestants.

It had gone down from the initial hundreds.

Despite the mass elimination, nobody in the section or the audience spectating outside had any complaints.

In fact, they were thrilled about this surprising mini-test that eliminated the unworthy quite early on, saving them boredom and time.

A few seconds later, Yaren clasped her hands and smiled, ”Alright, the preliminary test followed the same format as last time. Iʼll ask a question, and from the seat you obtained, thereʼs a magical paper next to it. Using your mana and concentration, the answer you think will appear there.”

However, none believed Yarenʼs words as it was.

Just the mini-test had taken them by surprise, so they would be foolish to believe the preliminary test was the same format.

Sure enough, the twist appeared again with Yaren grinning somewhat slyly.

”The format is the same, but depending on your answers, you can either pass right away, or continue the test, or be disqualified on the spot.” She revealed, clearly satisfied with the change in contestantsʼ expressions.

Finally, one of the contestants raised their hand, seemingly having doubts.

”Yes, what is your question?” Yaren pointed at them and asked.

”Is there a time limit on the preliminary test?” They asked cautiously.

”Thatʼs a good question. Long story short, thereʼs no time limit and itʼs all based on my mood.” Yaren shrugged. ”If I find the answers decent, but not quite at my standard, I shall continue with the test. As for an utter garbage answer, I doubt Iʼll need to say much, right?”

Having said that, nearly everyone nodded their heads. The conductor of the competition this time could be said to be a psychopathic person.

There was zero hesitation in her actions once she was displeased with someone.

What made it worse was that the healing facilities in Paradise Plains were top-notch, so the amount of violence she exerted would have no limits whatsoever.

Thus, she was like a free rein monster who could attack whenever and wherever she wanted to.

”Are there any more questions?” Yaren questioned once more. ”I wonʼt be accepting anymore once I begin, so think carefully. You have 10 seconds to decide.”

”Will we get bashed for giving a horrendous answer?”

”No, you wonʼt, but disregard my command like that garbage fellow from earlier, then yes. You will be thrashed hard.”

”What happens when we pass?”

”You will remain seated and get to enjoy it as a spectator like those audiences from the outside, except you get to see it in full view.”

As soon as Yaren finished saying that, nearly every contestant started to look at each other funny. Normally, those who passed were going to be placed in another room to wait patiently.

However, the conditions and rules had changed completely.

ʼThis competition is quite something.ʼ Xu Feng mused, silently sitting in his seat and absorbing the information.

Not only could they relax, but they also get to enjoy the suffering and anguish of others.

It was like a situation of everyone taking a uniform exam, but you have passed already and are just there for fun. You get to witness your friends or those you donʼt like, scratch their heads or knit their brows in anxiousness as they take the exam.

”Alright, 10 seconds are up and I shall now begin the preliminary test,” Yaren announced.
