Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?-Chapter 216 Beyond Human Control

Golden blinding light!

Everyone had their hands over their faces in reflex.

Their eyes were covered, but their hearts could see from their imaginations.

(×0×)

1, 2...

Blink.

They blinked vigorously, trying to get rid of the blur.

And soon, they finally recovered their vision.

Wipe!

Were they in another world?

Towering walls that seemed to stretch to heaven, giant floors that had no end.

F***!

They felt like ants in this place.

But importantly, was this a dream or reality?

The old Ghu couple held their hands, shaking like falling leaves from shock alone.

It can't just them, as many had their eyeballs bulging out, almost falling off their sockets?

"How? When? Who? Impossible!"

Not real! Not real!

Was this a magical illusion? Or has the 3D technology of the world grown to such an extent?

Many were leaning more towards the 3D aspect.

Magic? Their entire bodies were resisting this belief.

One step forth, one store back, some made several 360 degrees turns like ducks swimming on the same spot.

You look at me; I look at you for confirmation.

You pinch my thigh; I punch your chest.

Was it all real?

Wait! If the higher-ups and their view leaders sent them here, then could it be that there was some truth to the matter, or was their mission involving some crazy technology that had found its way in the enemy's hands?

No one knew what to think anymore.

However, Butler Sheng didn't give them time to do so.

.

"You may all proceed."

"Ah-..." 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

They nodded very humbly, walking in and covering the entire vast space.

Ants.

They looked like ants in this giant room

But this wasn't their primary concern.

Seated on high on a magnificent seat above a podium was a young man with an extraordinary aura.

His gaze was sharp but lazy, and his entire being commanded power.

In truth, Dorian was seated on similar areas that sect masters and elders would use when viewing academy or sect competitions.

However, in the eyes of everyone here, it looked like a throne!

Old Ghu and Old madam Ghu shook all over, recalling their earlier thoughts.

Emperor! Emperor!

Many almost felt an urge to bow and salute the youngsters as though he were a true monarch. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

Dorian watched them all enter the room with an expressionless face.

And when the entire flock was in, Bewoh and Raulin followed in.

Bam!

The golden door was shut tight.

Gulp.

Many swallowed hard, not knowing what to expect.

And soon, the show began.

.

Dorian stood from his seat majestically while Butler Sheng and the others first saluted him before turning around and facing the crowd.

They stood on the 4th step below Dorian's podium, seeing everyone before them.

-Silence-

No one spoke or even made a noise.

Their eyes were all staring at the person they were supposed to call Grandmaster.

['Host, as the Academy master, you have to give a compelling speech?']

'Is that in the contract?'

['No. But--...']

'Not necessary.'

['_']

Dorian was too lazy to bore himself with such talks.

He liked to talk simple, getting straight to the point.

With hands in his pocket, he lazily narrowed his eyes at the crowd before him.

"I'll make this quick. You're all here for a test.

If you pass, you'll know before midnight.

And if you fail, my last sentence speaks for itself, no?"

"_"

Why did they feel the urge to punch this youngster in the face?

Just joking! Do you not see the prestige and power oozing off the youngster?

,m They dared not.

Dorian took his seat comfortably, resting his chin on his hand.

"Any questions?"

Yes! Yes! A lot!

Many didn't know whether to laugh or cry from Dorian's words.

Hello? You drag them over here for some test they aren't even aware of.

So how could they not have questions?

What was the test about?

Why did they need to perform this test?

Without any past answer sheets to this so-called test, how could they guarantee victory?

Even in the military, because of years of experience and past examinations, everyone had a clue of what the higher us would access when looking for a sharpshooter, a special soldier, or even an ordinary military recruit.

Those who wanted to join the army knew this, preparing and having pre-training before going into the military.

Even when trying to be a doctor, the students would know what courses to take to get their license.

In any profession, they were guidelines and some hints given out before one took a test.

So what was this?

How can you just spring up a test all of a sudden?

Looking at the gathering of people, many were more perplexed on this test.

At first, they might've thought it was a military test. But then, there were those from the medical Hou family or those from the Ghu business family and even ordinary civilians in here.

So in the end, apart from being human, what else did they have in common to be tested?

Or could it be an ethical test of sorts?

(?^?)

.

Yes. They had questions.

And very quickly, many hands rose up!

It was better to bite the bullet and ask the necessary questions than go in for the tests and fail with regret.

In truth, though Dorian had an impressive air, maybe because they didn't believe in the supernatural or magic, they didn't have any hesitation in their actions.

How could they fear a human?

To get to where they were, it also meant they were bold and daring... Especially when belonging to the big prominent families.

"Grandmaster, this test... May we ask what it's about? What are the perimeters for passing the test?"

Exactly!

Why don't you give them a hint?

Dorian chuckled, looking at the many expectant gazes.

"To pass this test, you need not just luck, or but an innate talent you were born with. In the end, there's no way to prepare for the test. It's out of human control."

What?!!

Many people's pupils dilated at an alarming rate.

How can that be?!

What sort of test was beyond human control?

Luck and an innate talent?

How can one measure these things?

Many were even more confused than before...

However, Dorian was done talking to them.

It was time for the test to begin!
