Even Long Aotian restrained his anger and spoke with a measure of respect, though the venom in his tone remained when he mentioned Lin Feng.
Within ten minutes, the old man had grasped the ins and outs of the matter. Silence followed. Then, he turned his gaze toward Lin Feng.
At first, his eyes were merely indifferent but soon, they were filled with ridicule, as if he had just heard the most absurd joke in his life.
"To attempt the Medicine King examination without even being a Medicine Apprentice…" the old man said slowly, shaking his head. "Young man, you must be out of your mind."
A few people in the crowd couldn't help but nod in agreement, their earlier shock giving way to quiet mockery. Even if Lin Feng had some skill, skipping ranks like this was simply unheard of.
Yet Lin Feng remained composed.
