Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-266

Elder Wade, who originally came to bring Davis to the exam was maddened beyond compare when he saw Tina ignore him and walk off.

For a long time, he had nefarious thoughts over this junior sister of his but didn't act upon it since he knew that she was from the Roxley Family and the favored disciple of his master.

He even decided to forget about her since she was out of his grasp, but who was this masked person who seemed like he had a good relationship with her?

Elder Wade found this irksome, so being the asshole he is, he decided to make things difficult for Davis.

"Who are you?" He asked in a nonchalant tone, yet it sounded quite aggressive to Davis.

Davis furrowed his brows. The little amount of good impression he had on Elder Wade left like a breeze.

"We don't allow people with masks to take the Sky Grade Examination. If you want to take the exam, remove your mask." Elder Wade said upon noticing the alchemist robe Davis wore.

Davis turned angry a little bit because he knew that there was no such rule the last time he came here, even for Sky Grade Alchemy Exams.

Who cares about one's identity? As long as one had the ability, that person could be graded regardless of status. It was more like there were plenty of people interested in keeping their identity private for various reasons.

So Davis didn't think about removing his mask at all. Instead, he turned to look at the receptionist and asked, "There's no rule such as that, right?"

The receptionist went 'eh?' as she hesitated. She didn't know what to say anymore.

On one side, she wanted to say that there was no such rule but on another side, she knew if she said that she would be inadvertently offending Elder Wade.

Not knowing what to do, she just bit her lips and stayed silent.

Davis looked at Elder Wade and said, "Look, she didn't deny, so it must mean that you are misinformed. Now bring me to the exam or I'll have to inform this matter to the one who you're most afraid of!"

Elder Wade narrowed his brows as he thought of a few persons, but the person who came to his mind was his master.

He quickly thought and formed his own assumption, 'Does this person have a relationship with my master? It can't be, I don't know of any such person. But it looked like junior sister knew him, so it must have been through master or the other way around.'

Annoyingly looking at him, Elder Wade remarked, "Hmph! Whatever... I'll make a special exception and bring you to the exam hall!"

Davis smiled inwardly but also knew that there would be a headache once he went inside the exam hall.

As they arrived at the exam hall, Davis saw a table and a mat. Without Elder Wade's instruction, he strutted around and sat on it like a boss.

Elder Wade smiled, but when Davis saw that smile, he knew that things were going to get a bit difficult.

Slowly circling Davis, Elder Wade stood forward before him as he passed a scroll, "I'm the supervisor for the first two tests."

Davis took it and didn't bother with his statement.

Elder Wade smiled as he gave the most difficult test that a person can take at the Mid-Level Sky Grade Alchemy Exam.

Davis opened the scroll and read the questions, he then turned to look at Elder Wade who was grinning deviously.

Davis also smiled back with a mocking expression which caused Elder Wade to furrow his brows as he felt that the latter was mocking him through soul waves.

Soul Waves was a simple form of using Soul Force to make other people feel one's emotions to a slight degree.

This was something he learned from Old Man Garvin along with many Soul Arts and Techniques.

After mocking him with a smile, Davis took the ink brush that was on top of the table and started to fill the scroll with answers.

He had already learned High-Level Sky Grade Alchemy, so this kind of difficulty couldn't even make him bat an eye. It was no different than a child's play for him.

Not only did he not stop to think about the answers, he didn't even glance at the question a second time to verify the question to answer.

Most people tend to take their time to read the questions at their leisure, after all when one takes the exam they wouldn't have fully comprehended the theory. 

But Davis wasn't like that, he had already gone a level up and was already proficient in High-Level Sky Grade Alchemy, except other than the fact he couldn't concoct the pills at that level.

Elder Wade saw Davis breezing through the exam like it was nothing, but he sneered later thinking that the latter was filling up the scroll with nonsense.

'Hmph! Show off while you can because it's me who's going to have the last laugh!' Elder Wade contently thought, and assumed that was the case.

Soon, Davis filled up the answers in 10 minutes and handed over the scroll back, causing Elder Wade to laugh mockingly as he ruefully shook his head.

10 minutes was only a short period of time because most of the people took a minimum of 1 hour to fill up the scroll with answers.

Elder Wade totally thought that the scroll would be filled with wrong answers. This caused him to laugh mockingly at Davis, thinking that he can use this reason to kick him entirely out of the Thousand Pill Association.

Actually, Davis wasn't a member of the Thousand Pill Association. He was only recognized by the Thousand Pill Association since he passed the Peak-Level Earth Grade Alchemy Exam in their place.

He certainly wasn't a part of it and could be considered as a lone alchemist.

So Elder Wade wanted to suppress him as much as he could while Davis was down but when he looked at the scroll, his face changed.
