Under the watchful eyes of all, the sixth gold list revealed the three large characters "erudition gold list," accompanied by a clear and concise explanation.
"The erudition gold list primarily assesses the listed individual's research, in-depth exploration, and summarization of Spirit theory knowledge, without considering their age, strength, or aptitude.
"All who make it onto the gold list will receive generous rewards. The standard rewards are consistent with other gold lists. Those who rank in the top twenty will receive the title of 'Scholar.'
"Those who rank in the top five will receive the title of 'Natural Genius,' and the first-place winner will receive the title of 'Heavenly Saint'…"
Scholar? Natural Genius? Heavenly Saint?
These three titles were something Ling Yun had never heard of or seen before, but as special rewards, they must have some purpose.
He quickly looked at the explanation for the three titles.
Scholar: When individuals with this title impart knowledge to others, their efficiency increases by 50%.
They also have a 50% chance to be immune to mental force and illusion-type attacks, and a 25% chance to reflect them back to the caster.
Natural Genius: When individuals with this title impart knowledge to others, their efficiency increases by 70%.
They also have a 70% chance to be immune to mental force and illusion-type attacks, and a 35% chance to reflect them back to the caster.
Heavenly Saint: When individuals with this title impart knowledge to others, their efficiency increases by 100%.
They also have a 100% chance to be immune to mental force and illusion-type attacks, and a 50% chance to reflect them back to the caster.
Holy cow?! Ling Yun's eyes widened like brass bells. These three titles were quite impressive.
The efficiency of imparting knowledge to others could be greatly increased, and there was a certain chance to be immune to mental force and illusion attacks, and even a chance to reflect them.
It could be said that with this, it was simply the bane of Spirit Masters like Xiao Wu and Hu Liena, who specialized in using mental force and illusion-type abilities.
Similarly, Ling Yun also understood that if Yu Xiaogang were to obtain this title,
it was highly possible that it would allow him, like Tang San, to break free from the mental control of the Evil God Puppet Manipulation Technique, and he might even regain his consciousness and be revived, just like Tang San.
Since that was the case, Ling Yun certainly had to take precautions.
So he planned to withdraw his soul power from Yu Xiaogang and release the summoning of Yu Xiaogang.
As long as the gold list couldn't sense Yu Xiaogang's aura, this reward wouldn't go to him.
Ling Yun could also Mimic Yu Xiaogang's form and obtain the reward as him; this choice was also good.
Thinking of this, Ling Yun lowered his head to look at Xiao Wu beside him and said to her seriously,
"Xiao Wu, when we get to the small forest outside the city, I have to release this puppet. So you hide in the tree, don't make any sound, and quietly wait for my main body to arrive.
That kid Tang San is very cautious and will definitely not risk coming to trouble you. Just wait patiently here."
Xiao Wu roughly guessed Ling Yun's thoughts; after all, there had already been the precedent of Tang San, and he couldn't be foolish enough to watch another puppet revive.
She nodded slightly and readily agreed.
"Brother, don't worry, with Void Leap, Tang San can't hurt me at all.
He has indeed received considerable rewards from the gold list now, but I'm not to be trifled with either. With Void Leap and Soft Skills combined, it's still uncertain whether he can withstand my attacks."
Xiao Wu clenched her small fists and said smugly.
"You mischievous girl, stop joking with your brother. I'm telling you to be careful for your own good.
That kid is very cunning. Be careful not to be ambushed and killed by him. Don't blame your brother for not warning you."
Ling Yun raised his hand and flicked Xiao Wu's forehead, making her cover her little head pitifully.
After reaching the small forest outside the city, Xiao Wu, following Ling Yun's words, used Void Leap to jump onto a lush tree. If one didn't look carefully, they couldn't see her at all.
Ling Yun's mental force immediately withdrew from Yu Xiaogang's body and returned to his main body, which was on its way.
With a "bang," a wisp of black smoke enveloped Puppet Yu Xiaogang. When the black smoke dissipated, Puppet Yu Xiaogang disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Wu saw Puppet Yu Xiaogang disappear from the ground and looked up at the erudition gold list in the sky.
Meanwhile, Ling Yun's main body, which was heading towards Nuoding City, also accelerated its flight, rushing towards this location with all its might.
Everyone knew that the subjects being assessed for this gold list were all humans.
And it was specifically aimed at humans with extensive Spirit knowledge, not emphasizing strength. So, compared to previous gold lists for combat power, potential, advancement, and so on,
this erudition gold list seemed fairer to the general public. As long as one had a sufficient understanding of Spirit research, there was a possibility of making it onto the list.
But was that really the case? Obviously not.
For most commoners, many didn't even understand the specific classifications of Spirits, let alone conduct in-depth research.
For example, Old Village Chief Jack had lived most of his life on the Douluo Continent, but if you asked him to explain Spirit classifications or years, he probably wouldn't know a thing.
Therefore, the people who could make it onto the erudition gold list were definitely teachers from various academies and members of various major powers. Besides that, there was no other possibility.
As for the scumbag Yu Xiaogang, the reason he was so knowledgeable was partly because he was born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects.
Later, he cozied up to Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall at the time. Obtaining various documents and books was simply effortless for him.
His low innate spirit power forced him to dedicate nearly half his life to Spirit research, which earned him the title of Master.
In the original work, he was even called the true soul of Shrek Academy.
However, now that Yu Xiaogang was dead, all his efforts had been obtained by Ling Yun, a case of the dove occupying the magpie's nest.
Amidst countless expectant gazes, the 200th name finally emerged after much anticipation, like a pipa player half-hidden by her instrument.
"erudition gold list, 200th place: Human, possesses the Moonlight Fox Spirit, affiliated with Shenfeng Academy.
Reward: All spirit rings increased by 500 years, special skill: Cunning Heart."
Inside Shenfeng Academy.
A teacher who was looking up at the gold list from his dormitory window felt a warm current appear on his body.
Immediately, he was overjoyed, like Fan Jin after passing the imperial examination, and frantically rushed out of his dormitory, running to the playground and kneeling down.
"I made it onto the list! I finally made it onto the list! Hahahaha, heaven hasn't abandoned me!"
As a Spirit King who was only at level fifty-two, how could he not be ecstatic to have a chance to make it onto the list?
Although the difference compared to other rewards was not insignificant, he was very content. A 500-year increase for all his spirit rings was enough to make him stand out among most teachers.
His eccentric behavior did not cause dissatisfaction among other dormitory teachers or students; instead, they cast envious and jealous expressions at him…
