Fighter of the Destiny

The second round of the Great Imperial Examination has entered the second half. In the two most eye-catching duels between the Lishan Sword Sect and the Guojiao Academy, the Guojiao Academy abstained in one game and lost in the other. Lishan Jianzong can be said to have the upper hand. The face lost at the Ivy Banquet was regained, and the National Education Academy was pushed to the edge of the cliff.

Although the battle is not a team battle, and the imperial examination will only be ranked according to individual performance, after all, young candidates are not just jumping out of the cracks of rocks. Whether in the eyes of the world or in their own perception, their results represent in honor of the college or denomination to which they belong.

The third person to appear from the National Education Academy was Chen Changsheng. Because His Royal Highness Luoluo, who is recognized as the strongest in the National Education Academy, met Tianhai Shengxue who had already passed through the netherworld, and was considered by most people to have no chance of winning, then if the National Education Academy did not want to be completely wiped out in the second round of the battle, it would have to look to Chen Changsheng Can you pass this level?

Although he defeated the Huanggu Valley disciple in the first round of the battle, no one still thought highly of him. Everyone knew that he was the weakest among the four students of the National Education Academy, and now even Tang Sanliu had lost. , how can he avoid failure? Miracle? If it happens often, it's no longer a miracle, but a problem.

The second reason why no one is optimistic about Chen Changsheng is that there is a problem with the draw for the second round of today's imperial examination.

Everyone knew that someone must have tampered with the draw.

Chen Changsheng's opponent in this round is Huo Guang, a scholar from Huaiyuan.

No matter from which angle you look at it, this is the best choice, not Chen Changsheng's best choice, but the best choice for those who want Chen Changsheng to fail.

From the Holy Queen to the peddlers, from the White Emperor and his wife in the Demon Realm to the storytellers in Kyoto, everyone in Middle-earth is paying attention to the great imperial examination held in Kyoto. As the engagement with Xu Yourong was revealed at the Ivy Banquet, After announcing to the world, and with the Lord Bishop announcing for him that he would take the first place, countless pairs of eyes were fixed on Chen Changsheng.

Under this situation, those who want to suppress the National Education Academy and Chen Changsheng must be more cautious, at least not to let others see the problem at a glance. If Chen Changsheng were to draw lots and face Gou Hanshi in the second round, everyone would know that something was going on, and the castanets on the desks of the storytellers in Kyoto would definitely ring many more times if they didn’t talk about it. .

Huo Guang, a scholar from Huaiyuan, is the best candidate.

This young scholar has been studying peacefully in Huaiyuan and has not been discharged from the hospital to experience, so he has never been on the Qingyun Ranking. To those who don't know the inside story, he seems very weak.

In fact, there are no weaklings in Huaiyuan, and Huo Guang is the key training target of Huaiyuan. He is preparing to make a splash in the imperial examination. How can Chen Changsheng be his opponent?

…

…

The atmosphere beside the forest was a bit gloomy.

Tang Sanshiliu leaned against the poplar tree, looked at Chen Changsheng's back, and suddenly said: If you can't win, just retreat. Don't get into trouble.

He told Chen Changsheng before that he couldn't lose again because he knew that Chen Changsheng must get the first place in the imperial examination for some reason. In this case, of course he couldn't lose. However, at this time, he thought that even if he was inexplicable again, In the end, Di Sheng, the scholar from Huaiyuan, could not be the opponent of Tianhai Shengxue and Gou Hanshi, so he wanted to take back what he just said.

In his opinion, Chen Changsheng is still very young and has many years left. With his talent and knowledge, he doesn't know how far he can develop in the future. If he can't get to the top of the list now, why bother? Why not set your sights on the future and leave it to the future? Why be so cruel to yourself?

Chen Changsheng waved his hand and did not look back, because he had no way to explain that although he was still very young, he did not have many years to waste.

He bowed to the priest from the palace and then walked up the stone steps.

In the first round of the match, his right boot was shattered and he had to wear a new pair.

These boots were brought by Li Nvshi from her bedroom. They were very new, but very comfortable to wear. The size was just right. Luoluo must have remembered his size privately.

Wearing these boots, he felt grounded and very confident.

Next to the forest, Xuanyuan Po said to Tang Sanliu, Would you like to take a rest?

Tang Sanliu looked at Chen Changsheng on the stone steps in the distance, and after a moment of silence he said, No, give me the crystal.

Just as Old Man Tianji commented when he changed the Qingyun Ranking, he was greatly influenced by Chen Changsheng. For example, at this moment, looking at Chen Changsheng's figure, he quickly got rid of his previous depression and was ready to start meditating to restore his true self. Yuan, because there may be a playoff, he must at least enter the top three, otherwise he will really feel that he is inferior in front of Chen Changsheng.

It has nothing to do with state of mind, but everything to do with ambition.

…

…

The Xichen Building opened, and Chen Changsheng and the Huaiyuan scholar named Huo Guang walked in.

More than ten feet apart, the two stood on the ground covered with yellow sand, looking at each other quietly.

If you look carefully, you may be able to see some faint blood stains under the yellow sand at their feet, which should be left by the candidates who fought previously.

I've heard of you. Huo Guang broke the silence, looked at him and said, Before coming to Kyoto.

This scholar from Huaiyuan is about eighteen or nineteen years old, with an indifferent expression. He seems to be cut from the same mold as his classmates. In fact, their looks are not similar, which is why they give people this feeling. , because the young scholars from Huaiyuan all have an indescribable taste.

Chen Changsheng didn't answer, he didn't think it was necessary.

I know I will meet you at the imperial examination. Huo Guang looked at him and said calmly: Before coming to Kyoto.

Only then did Chen Changsheng know that the suppression of the National Education College in today's imperial examination was not only caused by someone within the Great Zhou Dynasty or the National Education, but also involved the far south.

But he still didn't speak, calmly adjusting his breathing and the movement of his true energy.

In order to resist the invasion of demons, the human world needs to unite. No one can stop the overwhelming trend. Anyone who tries to stop it will only be washed into the stinking ditch of history. And you...have affected the process of the north-south merger. Therefore, you cannot get first place in the imperial examination, let alone marry Xu Yourong.

Huo Guang looked at him expressionlessly and said.

Chen Changsheng finally understood what that indescribable smell was.

Just like the words that the country scholar said on the last night of the Ivy Banquet made him feel the same.

There are always some people in this world, some scholars, who believe in some very strange truths.

To establish a mind for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for life, to carry on the unique knowledge of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations, I ask you to die.

I have an iron shoulder to bear on morality. After you die, I will take care of your family, and I will also take care of this world.

Chen Changsheng shook his head. If it were only the first half, it would be respectable. If the second half was added, it would be bad.

He doesn't like the taste.

He disliked it even more than the smell of blood emanating from Xu Shiji.

Don't worry, I won't humiliate you with words, because that is meaningless and boring.

Huo Guang looked at him and said with an indifferent expression, but his eyebrows were slightly raised for a moment.

Or at this moment, he remembered Tang Sanliu's harsh words when they were fighting in the woods during the previous martial arts test.

I will defeat you easily.

He looked at Chen Changsheng and said condescendingly: Draw out your sword and welcome your failure.

Chen Changsheng remained silent, neither answering nor drawing out his sword.

So the things Huo Guang did seemed very ridiculous, like drawing a sword against the wall or reading a long lyric poem to the starry sky.

Yellow sand spreads quietly on the ground.

Huo Guang's face turned a little cold, and he looked at him and said, If you don't draw your sword, you will never have the chance to draw your sword again today.

Following these words, a clear and powerful aura emanated from his body.

Chen Changsheng looked at him quietly, and slowly raised his right hand. It was very close to the hilt of the dagger at his waist, and he could reach out and hold it.

In the end, he didn't hold the sword hilt.

He took back his right hand and closed his fingers together to form a fist.

very good.

Huo Guang looked at his actions and felt very humiliated. He slowly raised his eyebrows and took a deep breath.

A stream of extremely pure true energy overflowed, passing through the ocher scholar's shirt and creating a gust of wind in the Washing Building.

The wind surrounded Huo Guang's body like a barrier.

He was carrying a big sword on his back. He did not draw the sword. Instead, like Chen Changsheng, he clenched his fist and punched out.

There was a loud buzzing sound.

A hole instantly appeared in the wind screen surrounding him, and a fist glowing with light cyan luster and condensed with true essence violently burst out from the hole, instantly passing through a distance of more than ten feet and arriving at Chen Changsheng's side. In front of him, what's even more shocking is that there are fists condensed in the wind screen one after another, and they attack Chen Changsheng one after another!

Dozens of true fists, like real fists, come from all directions like wind and rain!

…

…

The giant light mirror with a radius of more than ten feet in the Zhaowen Hall clearly transmitted the battle scenes in the Xichen Building to the eyes of the important figures in the hall.

From the moment Chen Changsheng and Huo Guang entered the Xichen Building, the main hall became extremely quiet.

The Lord Bishop did not continue to sleep. He looked calmly at Chen Changsheng in the mirror, with an expression that showed whether he was still as confident as before.

Dozens of green lights suddenly appeared in the light mirror.

Although I wasn't there, just looking at the picture, I seemed to be able to feel the power contained therein.

Xue Xingchuan leaned forward slightly and said in surprise: Pojun Fist?

For these big shots in the Zhaowen Palace, the Huaiyuan scholar named Huo Guang, who was just sitting in the Zhao realm, would not be shocked by the methods he used. However, considering Huo Guang's age, he could actually master the most difficult skills. It's still a bit surprising that Po Jun Fist has reached this level.

It was Chen Changsheng who was about to receive these dozens of military-breaking punches.

Many people in Zhaowen Hall silently announced in their hearts that he had been eliminated.

The bishop's eyes narrowed slightly, and his cloudy eyes became sharp again.

Mo Yu's expression was indifferent, but the knuckles of his hand resting on the armrest of the seat were slightly white.

King Chen Liu glanced at her and had many doubts.

(happy mid-Autumn Festival.)
