The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 332 - 226: The Promotion Examination Begins!_2
Last time when Priest Paxi supervised the examinees from the Borderland, they conjured up one astonishing feat after another, causing waves of chaos that completely shattered the composure of all the candidates in the examination hall. When the results were announced, the pass rate of the examination hall supervised by Paxi was a full ten percentage points lower than the others!
"The animal he’s definitely talking about is you!"
An Su pointed at Arthur, Arthur pointed at Lister, Lister pointed at An Su, and the three of them said in unison.
"All three of you are." Priest Paxi said with a face full of dark lines.
"Let me go in, I promise to behave myself, I absolutely won’t cause any trouble, the bad stuff were all done by them."
Again, An Su and the others said in unison, "Just leave that scoundrel An Su (Lister) (Arthur) outside, that would be fine."
The unbreakable brotherly bond of the Borderland Triumvirs was severed in an instant, and watching the transformation of these three, Priest Paxi was even more hesitant to let them in.
However, since the trio did have their admission tickets, Priest Paxi couldn’t really leave them outside. He was just making a show of reprimanding them to deter them from causing trouble during the exam.
"I’m warning you, behave yourselves this time, and show some respect!"
Priest Paxi deliberately put on a stern face, "This exam is personally supervised by the esteemed Great Mage!"
"Merlin’s been let out of jail?" An Su asked, surprised.
He thought Merlin had to spend another year in Heaven.
"Yes, due to significant meritorious deeds, he was released early..."
As Priest Paxi was halfway through his sentence, he realized something was off. Being a Priest dedicated to justice, he often dealt with criminals and spoke their lingo, and An Su had inadvertently led him astray.
"What do you mean ’let out of jail’! That’s Heaven!" he said with a dark face, "I told you to show some respect for His Excellency Merlin, not to make it sound like he’s some reformed convict!"
Isn’t that the case though.
An Su blinked his eyes, "So what were the significant meritorious deeds?"
"His Excellency Merlin almost completely annihilated the Bishop of the original Crimson Cult, this undercover leader who harassed Heaven for nearly a year and infiltrated the Imperial Capital for many years, finally met his demise one day."
Priest Paxi extolled Merlin’s great achievements,
"His Excellency Merlin, through his unknown strategies and ingenious calculations, successfully lured the Bishop of Pain into the Falor Diocese and killed him.... It’s still a mystery how he managed to draw them out to the outskirts when the half-divine followers of the Esoteric Sect were meticulous and never showed their faces in reality."
In truth, it was the allure of beauty.
An Su said with a deadpan face.
"Unfortunately, His Excellency Merlin is too modest and low-key to share his superb tactics with us." Priest Paxi sighed, then continued, "Because of this significant achievement... cough, for this meritorious deed, His Excellency Merlin was granted a year’s vacation in Heaven."
So that’s how it was.
An Su nodded.
"Alright, go on in." Priest Paxi looked at An Su with pride. With Merlin as the chief invigilator in control of the whole situation this time, that kid An Su surely wouldn’t dare to make a scene and mess with people’s minds,
and his supervised examination hall would not have the lowest pass rate like it did last time.
"Don’t worry." An Su saw Priest Paxi’s concern and gave a reassuring smile,
"I swear by the name of Radiance that I will absolutely behave during this exam, and I can guarantee that the pass rate of your examination hall will not be the lowest."
Because they’re all equally low!
The mind games had already been played long before the exam even started.
With a calm smile on his lips, An Su led Arthur and Lister, the two "animals," through the doors into the waiting room, which was already crowded with saints. As soon as the trio entered, many turned their heads to look at them.
After all, these three—especially An Su—were the youngest examinees there.
To take the advancement examination within the first year of joining the Church is indeed rare.
Moreover, with Merlin personally supervising the exam and in light of the rumors that had been mentioned, it made An Su the second most watched candidate.
As for the first place,
it naturally belonged to the Imperial Princess, the Imperial Saintess in everyone’s mind.
For them, it was an honor to participate in the Church’s grand examination, but for Cersei, it was an honor for Radiance that she deigned to attend,
The Imperial Royal Family allowed the Third Princess to take part in the grand Church examination to show closeness to the Church for political reasons—it was a test with political significance.
With the Princess’s Rank, she didn’t need to take any examination in the Church at all.

And Cersei was willing to come because the Church promised her the condition of becoming the successor to the God of Law.
However, rumors have it that en route, a clueless kid from the Borderland suddenly appeared, which is why An Su received so much attention and criticism.
But few took it seriously.
Cersei is now at a Fifth Tier Saint Rank, approaching that of a demigod, while little An Su has just completed the saint examination, at most a Peak Third Tier, not even comparable to Her Majesty the Princess.
The recent news about the capture of a group of followers of the Esoteric Sect was most likely just a sensational headline.

Though they didn’t know An Su, they knew how the news worked.
As people were sizing up An Su, An Su was also sizing up them.
Among a group of self-satisfied saints, in just a few seconds, he had successfully spotted several good girls.
