have assumed that this was just a slip of tongue for Xu Youyao. However, now she wished for Xu Youyao to make more of a fool of herself."Pretty much always, none of them, I believe you can't come up w...Chapter 563 Luck 1

"All of them," Xianyao said at this moment.

"All of them Alright, then all of them it is." Xiaolang paused for a second. He had thought that only one would be required as usual; they always tried just one first.

However, since the person wanted to do all of them, he would have to comply. Besides, the people in charge were free anyway, and this was what their year's worth of work was for.

Soon after, Xiaolang got the person in charge over there and prepared to start.

"We can begin now. Which one would you like first" asked Xiaolang.

"Let's do the chess game and poisoning antidote together," said Xianyao.

When they heard what Xianyao had to say, the people from Evil Tones Sect were a little taken aback. He actually wanted to take on both at once! One was already a headache, but he also wanted to do two things at the same time

"Oh, then you guys can get started," said Xiaolang as he nodded. He waited for the opposite side's people to come over. But in his opinion, this should be a job that involved dividing up tasks and working together; he didn't think it was just Xianyao.

"Alright, you guys can start now," said Xianyao as he went before the person who specialized in medical poison antidotes. There was one chicken before him, and Desolate Love Poison had already been prepared.

“Using a chicken for this test is a little excessive; just feed it some Desolate Love Poison,” Xianyao said when he saw that they hadn't done anything yet.

"Xianyao, you're coming up first Do you know medical techniques" asked Xiaolang in surprise. He hadn't expected Xianyao to be the one going up first.

“Yeah!” said Xianyao as he nodded his head.

"Why haven't you guys started yet" asked Xiaolang after confirming that, and then asking why those people had not begun their task.

"Do you need to prepare anything" Those people inquired of Xianyao. He hadn’t prepared any materials before starting; this was something they weren’t expecting at all.

They thought that even if there were antidotes, one should still be ready with the medicine beforehand and get everything set up. How could it be possible to start by just trying to cure a poison

"Prepare what Don't you think other people will give you time after they've poisoned you" asked Xianyao in reply.

“…”

This was true. Once someone had been poisoned, how could there be any more time to prepare However, this was a test that allowed for preparation before beginning.

"Let the chess game over there also start," said Xianyao as he looked over at it.

“ What do you mean by that Do you really intend to solve both puzzles yourself, or are they supposed to begin simultaneously" asked Xiaolang in puzzlement. This was a question the people in charge of the challenges were also wondering about.

Xianyao's actions clearly showed he intended to take on everything himself and start it all at once.

“Yes, I only need to say where my moves should go for the chess game. This can begin simultaneously,” Xianyao said as he nodded his head. This left Xiaolang and others momentarily stunned. So that's how it was!

But could you really do it

These people from Waver Family may have had some doubts, but they didn't say anything mocking him. They felt that the results would show soon enough whether or not he was capable of doing this.

Their eyes would see if this young man before them was bluffing or truly skilled.

Next, everyone saw Xianyao injecting needles into the chicken they had fed Desolate Love Poison to. This left people stunned; did chickens even have acupoints And where were those acupoints located

If Xianyao was really able to master this technique, then just based on that alone, everyone present studying medicine would bow down and worship him. However, they still could not be sure whether or not he truly mastered it; the results had yet to prove so.

Soon after, the results came out: although people didn't know if Desolate Love Poison was really neutralized, they were able to see that its effects seemed to have been halted. Just this alone left everyone present speechless as none of them could even manage a pause in the poison's spread.

What made Xianyao earn more admiration than anything else was his ability to play chess at the same time, doing two things at once. Although this game was very controversial and seemed chaotic, it was something that only someone experienced would do.

Xianyao's moves were actually leading him down a path toward certain death; instead of trying to hold back the enemy's attacks, he had sacrificed most of his pieces in the board, making it seem like things were getting worse and worse for him.

This made those present who specialized in chess show their disdain. Although Xianyao might be very strong at medicine, his moves on this game were rather poor.

However, they discovered that the situation seemed to change after a while; things weren’t as they had imagined them to be. After repeatedly sacrificing pieces, it turned out there was new hope for survival in this losing position. It truly proved the saying: "When all is lost, find new life."

Indeed, this endgame requires sacrificing to break through. Sometimes, having more is not necessarily a good thing; one must know when to give up in order to survive and have a chance to turn the situation around.

Many people dislike giving things up, preferring to keep everything instead of making tough decisions like cutting off a limb to save oneself. In the end, they lose everything and fall into an impossible situation.

This chess game is somewhat similar. Furthermore, this isn't just one or two times; if it were only once or twice, people might notice the need for sacrifices. But continuing to sacrifice until there's almost nothing left to give up before turning things around makes it hard for many to see that point.

Or perhaps no one has the resolve to make such great sacrifices, which is why this game hasn't been solved.

Xiaoyao tried various methods and finally came up with a solution. When he thought of it, Wang Yanyu was stunned for quite some time without speaking; however, Xiaoyao was still thinking about the chess game and didn’t pay attention to her reaction.

"Collect herbs, boil them, and have her drink this medicine, then everything will be fine." Xiaoyao wrote a prescription, thoroughly solving this issue. This formula ends the poison completely.

This prescription not only clears residual toxins but can also treat the Desolate Love Poison comprehensively if given enough time.

However, without Xiaoyao’s needle technique and method of practice, this prescription is still the best solution.

Hence everyone realized that Xiaoyao has solved this problem completely with no issues, earning him respect from all present medical experts. This level of skill surpasses what they can achieve.

At this point, changes began on the chessboard; it had reached a stage where predicting outcomes is impossible. In other words, who will win or lose is uncertain. Although Xiaoyao currently faces a disadvantage, he's not in an absolute predicament.

This now depends solely on one’s chess skills. It can be said that the endgame has been broken but as this is a problem to solve, the game must continue until won.

With Xiaoyao’s skill level, winning is just a matter of time. This question has essentially been overcome; only the final question remains. While dealing with the medical challenge, Xiaoyao immediately started on it while continuing his chess match.

To him, playing chess requires nothing more than verbal commands and can be done simultaneously.

"Prepare me the tools for forging iron."

"Forging iron"

Everyone was initially puzzled but quickly understood. Xiaoyao intended to change the shape of the iron, which wasn’t restricted as long as he made it float without using external aids. There were no rules dictating its form.

This point seemed overlooked by all because they thought this challenge tested intelligence or knowledge about what kind of water could make iron float.

Under such circumstances, almost nobody considered changing the shape of the iron; sometimes a different perspective easily resolves problems.

Nevertheless, some still believed Xiaoyao's approach was futile and unconstructive!

"Humph. Even if you change the form of iron, it'll still sink."

Some people voiced their doubts. In this world, anything that floats on water is light like wood.

The reason ships float is due to being made of wood; even ironclad ships are just wooden hulls wrapped in metal.

Hence few thought about making an iron boat capable of floating, needing ample internal space for buoyancy.

Quickly, Xiaoyao proved this seemingly impossible theory by shaping the iron into a fine little boat. His forging skill alone impressed some people; however, few practice blacksmithing and care less about it.

All they learned was that iron can indeed float if shaped correctly.

At this moment, the chess game neared its end. Xiaoyao made his final move, finishing the match with a win.

The three challenges were solved too easily despite considerable luck. Two problems were ones Xiaoyao had studied before, and the last wasn't too difficult either. If given more time, others might have figured it out eventually.

Thus, Xiaoyao resolved everything instantly through a stroke of luck. Luck can sometimes be part of one’s capability; besides, even without prior knowledge, he could solve these issues with just the matter of timing.

"Who would've thought, Xiaoyao You're quite an enigma with such high levels in both medical and chess arts. Haha, it suits your name well." Wolf laughed as he patted Xiaoyao on the shoulder.

"I’ve just studied a bit; that doesn’t make my level particularly high," said Xiaoyao modestly.

“Alright then, I’ll report to Master now. Your items will be returned soon, and you may leave whenever convenient for you. Come with me, Xiaoyao; let me introduce you to Master and guide you into the sect.” After speaking to Black Snow and others, Wolf took Xiaoyao away.

Xiaoyao originally didn’t want to go but hadn’t rested yet. Nevertheless, to see the martial arts scrolls of the Xiao Yao Sect sooner, he decided to proceed first before resting later when he could still manage it.ed at him, with an innocent expression.“I’ll be grilling ten in a moment. You figure it out.” Xianyao frowned and decided to handle it this way, as it was the same as grilling just one fish."Alright t...
