"Did the gong sound for Lady Ya's courtyard?"
"Fuck me! Is someone challenging the stage again?"
"Let's go take a look. Ever since young master Mo from Bright Saints College failed last year, nobody else has attempted the stage!"
"Young master Mo is one of the four great students from Bright Saints College. A year ago, he was only two breaths away from answering the third question. What a pity!"
"Who will be challenging the stage this time? Could it be the leader of the four great students from Bright Saints College, young master Zhao?"
"That's highly possible. After all, the Flaming Sun Princess might be attending the banquet today. Someone said that the four great students from Bright Saints College would be here today as well!"
"Wow, this is a rare occasion!"
"Let's hurry up and take a look …"
Around the great lake, countless students were startled by the commotion as they turned their heads to look at the entrance of the courtyard.
To the students who were good at writing and writing, to be able to witness a great student challenging the stage was even more exciting than watching a battle between two strong cultivators.
At this point, Xu Que was startled by the sudden sound of the gong. He stared at the servant who rang the gong.
The servant was bewildered by Xu Que's stare and felt a chill down his spine. He then hurriedly turned around and ran into the courtyard.
Tang Liu Feng could feel the gazes of everyone around him as he shrank back in fear.
He felt as if he had boarded a pirate ship today. Initially, he had wanted to queue up and enter with the golden invitation. After which, he would find a corner to sit down and eat some food. After that, he would have completed the task assigned to him by the teacher.
After all, the reputation of the Eastern College wasn't very good. Hence, they wanted to keep a low profile.
Now that the gong had sounded, even if he wanted to hide, there was nowhere for him to hide.
Tang Liu Feng stood rooted to the ground as he looked at Xu Que with an aggrieved expression. He wanted to cry but no tears came out. 'I was in such a good mood today. Why did you have to say such things? Why did you suddenly say that you wanted to challenge the stage? Skinny Lan, Shiitake is here … '
Xu Que didn't know what was going on as he stood at the entrance of the courtyard, welcoming the gazes of the crowd. From time to time, he would put on a dignified expression as he looked up into the sky.
The system beeps rang out in his head as his act tough points continued to rise.
"Young Master, please begin!" the female attendant said at this time.
"Alright!"
Xu Que nodded his head and replied. His expression turned solemn as he strode towards the wooden board draped with a red cloth in a majestic manner.
At the same time, he called out the system and prepared to cheat!
Everyone was stunned when they saw Xu Que enter the arena.
"Eh? How come it's that white-robed youth? "
"This person looks unfamiliar. He doesn't look like someone from our Imperial City."
"Look, he's with the people from Dongcheng College!"
"Hahaha, it can't be. Could it be a student of Dongcheng College? Do they have the guts to barge into Lady Ya's Courtyard? "
"They really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. How could Dongcheng College be qualified?"
"Could it be that Dongcheng College didn't receive Lady Ya's golden invitation? Is that why they're here?"
"Hahaha, that's highly possible!"
Many people were astonished before they burst out laughing. They thought that this was just a farce. A nameless nobody was trying to attract attention.
Someone let out a disappointed sigh and shook his head, "What a pity. I thought it was some great scholar who was trying to barge into the Imperial City."
"That's difficult. Even one of the four great scholars, young master Mo, failed. I'm afraid nobody in the Imperial City will attempt this easily!"
"That's true. After all, it's a thankless task. If he fails, he'll be laughed at!"
"That might not be the case. For example, this white-robed youth. He knew he couldn't barge into the Imperial City and yet he chose to do so. We should learn from him. Hahaha …"
At the end of the conversation, a series of laughter rang out from the lakeside.
Tang Liu Feng lowered his head even further as if he wanted to find a hole to hide in. He didn't dare to look at anyone at all!
Xu Que raised his head and puffed his chest out. Every step he took was filled with confidence and confidence. He walked with elegance and dignity!
He took huge strides towards the wooden plaque as he grabbed onto the red cloth and tore it off!
"Shua!"
The red cloth was torn off as it flew up into the air before descending slowly.
His actions were as smooth as flowing water, without any hesitation at all!
As soon as the red cloth was torn off, everyone stopped laughing as their gazes landed on the wooden plaque. There were a few lines of golden words written on it!
Xu Que read ten lines at a single glance. He didn't even have time to ask the system before he was overjoyed!
Damn it, this question was way too easy!
"If one person eats a bowl of rice, they need fifteen minutes. How long would eight people eat eight bowls of rice? "
Isn't this just a brain teaser? You want to stump me with such a simple question? What kind of joke is this?
Xu Que glanced at the question and knew the answer immediately.
However, in the eyes of the crowd, the most difficult part of this test wasn't the question itself, but the ability to react.
From the moment the red cloth was removed to the moment the question was read, one would need to take two breaths of time. As for the time needed to answer the question, one had to take ten breaths of time!
Hence, many people were able to answer these questions. However, with the ten breaths of time limit, the difficulty of the question was raised significantly. It was a test of one's reaction speed and quick thinking!
"Eh, this question … I know how to answer it!"
"Haha, me too! A bowl of rice is fifteen minutes. Eight bowls of rice is eighty minutes. Obviously, it's a test of our arithmetic ability! "
"That's too easy. I should've given it a try!"
"No, you're all wrong. This question is a trap. Eighty minutes is correct, but you've all forgotten that eighty minutes is equivalent to two hours. So, if you fill in eighty minutes, I'm afraid you're wrong. You'll have to fill in two hours."
"Damn, so that's how it is!"
"Lady Ya's question is indeed not easy."
After looking at the question, everyone got the answer within a few breaths of time. Two hours!
"Master, ten breaths of time is almost up. Please write the answer on the wooden plaque as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be considered as a failure!" the female student reminded Xu Que.
Xu Que's lips curled into a smile. He walked forward unhurriedly, gathered some core strength between his fingers, and wrote the answer on the wooden plaque!
Fifteen minutes!
...
...
The whole place instantly fell silent. Following that, a burst of laughter erupted!
"Haha, this kid wrote it wrong!"
"It's two hours, not fifteen minutes, idiot!"
"I'm speechless. With such a low IQ, where did he get the confidence to pass the test?"
"People from Dongcheng College are indeed useless!"
"Hahaha …"
Waves of mocking laughter rang out across the entire lake!
Tang Liu Feng's face turned pale as he wished he could jump into the lake. He felt that he had lost all his face today.
"Brother Li, your … Your answer isn't right!" He looked at Xu Que and spoke out in exasperation.
Xu Que shook his head as he looked around at the crowd. He then took a deep breath and shouted out, "All of you shut up. You bunch of retards. Who said the answer was eighty minutes?"
This shout caused everyone to freeze in shock.
Soon after, a student shouted out angrily, "I said it. So what? Eighty minutes? At least I'm closer to the correct answer than you are! "
"Did your mother raise a placenta to give birth to a retard like you? Oh no, compared to the people behind you, you're considered half retard! I'd like to ask, who said the answer was two hours? "Xu Que spoke out sarcastically as he asked the crowd.
This time, many people were enraged.
A student stood out and laughed out coldly, "It was me! This question isn't difficult at all. It's easy to guess it within two hours! "
Xu Que exclaimed, "Indeed, the heavens have sprinkled their wisdom all over the world …"
When the student heard this, he revealed a proud smile.
Then, Xu Que continued, "So much wisdom has been sprinkled all over the world. Only you held up an umbrella!"
The student paused in shock. The crowd paused as well.
Wisdom has been sprinkled all over the world? Only you held up an umbrella? Doesn't that mean you've blocked out all wisdom?
That student regained his senses and was enraged.
However, before he could say anything, Xu Que looked at the crowd and said impolitely, "And those who think two hours is the correct answer, all of you are retarded. You are even worse than that half-retard just now!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was enraged.
"Preposterous! How dare you insult us!"
"You're a disgrace to all of us!"
"He answered the question incorrectly and doesn't dare to face it."
"It's obvious he's angry and embarrassed. This person is a good-for-nothing!"
Many people were enraged as they started to criticize him.
Xu Que shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the female student, "Little sister, tell them the correct answer!"
