Chapter 598

Thanks, buddy, for the question. This time, I can finally relax and take first place.

After receiving Leon’s “flattering” gaze, the corners of the bull-horned man’s mouth immediately stretched fully, revealing an unreserved sneer. The centipede-like creatures supporting his body also配合ingly showed a sinister smile.

Don’t blame me for being heartless! If you have to blame someone, blame the incredible rewards for the top three in this evaluation—too good to let go!” Leon.”

As the towering bull-horned man stood up, bringing with him the oppressive shadow of the centipede-like creatures, taking full steps toward this direction, a gentle request came from Leon’s right side.

“Switch places with me!”

Flipping his exam paper to the back and placing it face down on the table, momentarily concealing his own abilities, Armin’s flesh instantly suffered from dozens of talents eroding it like crazy, cutting him into pieces all over. He then quickly walked toward Leon.

After arriving beside Leon first, Armin, whose whole body was covered with charcoal-black burn marks, glanced at the bull-horned man’s test paper and then looked up at him with eyes filled with caution. His expression remained cold as he said, “Rudy from Taurus Division, right? If you want to make things harder for yourself, I can help you.”

“…”

There are so many lunatics in the Virgo Subdivision!

Looking at Armin, who had an endurance level as insane as Leon, maintaining a steady voice despite being repeatedly eroded by dozens of talents without a single tremble, the bull-horned man couldn’t help but click his tongue in his mind and immediately stopped advancing.

If it were about combat ability, he was confident in fighting against anyone in this exam. The problem was that in this first exam, only ‘talents’ were allowed as attack methods.

In terms of talent strength, the strongest ones were naturally the “Angel” from Scorpio Division and the “Death God” from Aries Division. Their white feathers and sharp gray mists occupied half of the exam room each, pressing the surrounding cleaners to cry out in pain.

Next to the “Angel” and “Death God” was the woman standing before him, whose face was obscured. Those disgusting yellowish murky streams could directly open up a large area even amidst the feathers and mists. Only after that would it be his turn and other senior Level 2 Cleaners.

Though he was confident he wasn’t weaker than her, even if they exchanged ‘talents’ he’d just be slightly inferior. However, if she gave up her exam score and solely focused on battling him to the death, it wouldn’t be worth it.

“Alright, I’ll give you some face.”

After a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, the outwardly rough and tough bull-horned man decisively chose to soften up, no longer advancing. Instead, he glanced at Leon blocked behind Armin and provocatively sneered, “Hmph, the guy who claims to secure first place is only this good… What are you doing?”

Seeing Leon reaching out, picking up Armin’s exam paper, flipping it back to the front, and instantly getting submerged by the yellowish murky streams, the bull-horned man couldn’t help but shrink his pupils in shock and suspiciously shouted,

“Aren’t you afraid of being…”

“You shouldn’t leave.”

Taking three steps forward, grabbing the bull-horned man’s wrist, Leon’s bizarre face, two parts fox fur, three parts white mask, and five layers of snake scales covering it, slowly cracked into an extremely creepy smile.

“You’ve come all this way, stay a little longer.”

“？！！！”

Seeing Leon, whose limbs had already turned pitch black due to actively approaching his own abilities, and whose most part of his body was immersed in the yellow murky stream, the bull-horned man felt his scalp tingle violently, instinctively throwing his hand away.

“Let go of me!”

“Crack!”

As one of the top five strongest in the exam room, the bull-horned man had astonishing strength. Even under dream suppression and without deliberately exerting force, he easily broke free from the pull, even breaking Leon’s wrist.

What made the cleaners who witnessed this scene feel their scalps tingle was that after the broken wrist reformed, Leon acted as if nothing happened and chased after again, hugging the neck of the centipede-like creature behind the bull-horned man.

“Hiss!”

“Don’t scream!”

Slapping the centipede-like creature with his free hand and cutting off the remaining hiss, Leon turned around and looked at Big Sister Stool, who was still stunned behind him, tentatively asking, “Senior Armin? Can your abilities handle this?”

You’re asking what this means? Could it be…

Looking at the bull-horned man behind Leon, who was dumbfoundedly covering his face with a handprint on his neck, Armin couldn’t help but pause for a moment, then burst into a pleased smile.

“Shall we try?”

“Alright… If it hurts, please tell me immediately.”

Amidst the shocked expressions of all the cleaners in the exam room, including the Twin Fish Director, Leon dragged the struggling centipede-like creature back to Armin’s side. Then, he grabbed the creature and pressed its head into the thickest part of the yellow murky stream, vigorously scrubbing it up and down.

“Wait! Hold on!”

The moment Leon started scrubbing, the bull-horned man, who was simultaneously gripped by a strange force around his neck, immediately bulged his eyes and screamed, subsequently shouting in panic:

“You… glug… ”

“Damn… glub glub…”

Not a single one of the content within 69 Book Bar was missed!

“No no! I beg… blub blub…”

“Ah!!!!!!”

“Blub blub…”

After Leon skillfully completed “seven ups eight downs,” thoroughly scrubbing the centipede-like creature in the yellow murky stream, the bull-horned man convulsed all over, clutched his mouth, rolled his eyes, and fell flat onto the floor beneath the table.

And the moment his head dropped below the table, the centipede-like creature in Leon’s hand quivered slightly, instantly losing its original form and turning into a crumpled exam paper.

[Name: Dream-Interpretation Secret Scroll – Rudy Tau (Manifestation, Secret Art, Temporary)]

[Appearance: A flexible and smooth paper exam sheet with a picture of a ferocious centipede-like creature forced to drink a large amount of unknown liquid, now lying belly-up]

[Ability: Talent Manifestation, Twin Fish Palace Secret Art, Temporary Existence]

[Cost: Borne by the user of the Twin Fish Palace Secret Art]

[Record: After the current Twin Fish Director of the Clearing Bureau accepted the evaluation task, using their “Abnormal Observation” secret art as the core and stimulating it with “Lost Paradise Fragments,” they temporarily created this dream object within a special dream.

This object has the unique ability to analyze the user’s talents and grant them manifestation capabilities, but it only works within the Dream Realm and will disappear once the special dream ends.]

[Rating: Similar to the “Materialist” ability, although it lacks the effect of detecting underlying intelligence, it provides a deeper and more thorough analysis and presentation of the abnormal aspects.]

[Taint Value: 60]

“Zzzz…”

[Through the thorough presentation of the Twin Fish Palace Secret Art and your close and intense repeated contact, you obtained a massive amount of information about the Taurus Division cleaner Rudy Tau. The anomalous badge “Materialist Soul (Bright Red)” has been activated.

By personally touching the manifested talent of “Rudy Tau,” you have learned the development direction of his abilities, witnessed his upper limit, and understood the operational rules… Rudy Tau has no secrets left from you.

Before “Rudy Tau” reaches 60 points of taint value and completely changes his essence, you will have direct immunity to all abnormal effects presented through various means based on this human individual.]
