Within the Imperial Academy, King Duan and Han Zhangfeng did not look too good. Their gazes were focused on Ping Yang and Fang Zhengzhi in the scryer recording.
They knew that with the Red Flame Flower Armor and Blazing Qilin Spear, Ping Yang would be able to cause a huge commotion in the combat examinations.
Timing, location, people...
Everything was within their calculations. The only thing they missed out on was Ping Yang.
They had all guessed that Ping Yang would sneak into the World of the Sage, but in their hearts, they had thought that Ping Yang was just there to play. They had not expected Ping Yang to be with Fang Zhengzhi.
The princess of the Great Xia Dynasty wanted to join Fang Zhengzhi's "team". Furthermore, she even found a Heavenly Reflection State candidate to fight with him …
Now, they were in cahoots with Fang Zhengzhi, doing a four-versus-one shameless thing.
No one could have calculated that such a thing would happen.
The Ninth Prince, Lin Yun, who was seated not far from King Duan and Han Zhangfeng, was confused. He remembered that Ping Yang hated Fang Zhengzhi to the core.
What's more, before her birthday party, she even asked him to come up with ideas for her …
Why was this happening?
...
Within the World of the Sage.
Wang Chuanping's expression changed. He had no other choice. He could either withdraw from the combat examinations, or kill Su Donglin with Fang Zhengzhi.
This was not a difficult choice.
The former was to wait another two years, the latter was to take a gamble. At least there was a chance of survival.
"Thank you Young Master Fang for giving me this opportunity! Thank you Princess Ping Yang! Thank you Young Master Yan Xiu! " Wang Chuanping quickly made his choice. Then, in his hands, two broad-backed long swords that flickered with red light appeared.
When he fought Ping Yang just now, Ping Yang did not use her weapon. As such, he did not dare to use it either. By the time he wanted to, it was too late.
But now, against Su Donglin... He had no more reservations.
He used his weapon first.
At this moment, Yan Xiu also used his Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan.
Ping Yang, on the other hand, had a joyous expression on her face as she walked towards Su Donglin's position.
As for Fang Zhengzhi, he was taking small steps at a steady pace. He walked slowly towards Su Donglin with a smile on his face.
"Young Master Su, then we'll have to offend you!"
"Hmph, Fang Zhengzhi! Aren't you celebrating a little too early? "Su Donglin's eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked at the four people surrounding him. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
One versus four.
Two in the early stages of the Heavenly Reflection State, Ping Yang, who possessed two treasures, and a disciple of the Yan Family, who held one of the five treasures of the Yan Family, the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan.
Although Su Donglin had a chance of winning in this situation, but …
But it wasn't big.
However, this was the Imperial Examinations, not the actual Dou Ou Fight. As such, Su Donglin's chances of winning were very high.
Because …
He didn't need to defeat all four of them.
One person.
As long as Su Donglin could defeat one person in the battle. He would be able to smoothly advance to the second round.
At that time, he could start his counterattack in the second round …
Everything was still under control!
"Then, who should we defeat first?" Su Donglin's gaze wandered back and forth between Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu, finally landing on Yan Xiu.
The reason was simple.
Yan Xiu was the weakest out of the four. Furthermore, he was the closest to Fang Zhengzhi. Regardless of the reason, Yan Xiu was the best choice.
But …
Was Yan Xiu really the weakest?
Su Donglin thought so, and so did all of the other candidates. Even Ping Yang and Wang Chuanping thought the same.
However, only Fang Zhengzhi did not think so.
However, all of this was no longer important, because the four-versus-one battle had already begun.
The first to attack was naturally Ping Yang.
Before the other candidates had even retreated, Ping Yang had already made his move. The Blazing Qilin Spear in his hand was engulfed in flames. With a golden glow, he pierced towards Su Donglin.
This attack had caused Wang Chuanping to fall to the ground.
However, Su Donglin was not Wang Chuanping. He was in the advanced stages of the Heavenly Reflection State, and he was a direct descendant of the Su Family.
More importantly … At that time, Wang Chuanping did not know that Ping Yang had the Blazing Qilin Spear. Furthermore, Wang Chuanping was too close to Ping Yang.
Su Donglin knew that Ping Yang had the Blazing Qilin Spear.
As such, he could easily dodge.
When Ping Yang attacked, Su Donglin had already moved. It was almost as if he had predicted Ping Yang's movements. His body was like lightning...
In reality, it was lightning.
Purple lightning wrapped around Su Donglin's body.
Like purple snakes, they twisted their bodies frantically, but they could not leave the surface of Su Donglin's body.
He was bathed in the purple lightning.
Su Donglin was so fast that no one could see him clearly.
In the blink of an eye, Su Donglin had dodged Ping Yang's attack. Then, he took a huge step forward and appeared in front of Yan Xiu.
It was too fast, so fast that the surrounding candidates did not even have time to gasp.
Within the crowd, Xing Qingsui's gaze was fiery. His dark face seemed to be deep in thought. He was thinking about how he would dodge this attack.
Within the crowd, there was a youth.
His face remained calm. Even when he saw Su Donglin's lightning speed, there was no change in his expression.
His short sleeved shirt was rather ordinary compared to the armor around him.
However, the people around him always subconsciously kept a distance from him.
Because...
He was Nangong Mu, Nangong Hao's younger brother.
...
Su Donglin's plan was straightforward.
He wanted to defeat Yan Xiu before he could even attack. This was the difference in cultivation level. He did not want to wait for Yan Xiu to use his Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan.
This was only the first round of the Imperial Examinations.
In a one versus four situation, he did not want to waste too much time and energy. He still had a long way to go. He still had to reach the peak of the Imperial Examinations.
The moment Su Donglin appeared beside Yan Xiu, a huge purple electric current shot out.
As a Heavenly Reflection Advanced State cultivator, he was able to sense everything around him with ease. Even if there was no lightning around him.
He could also make his pocket dimension resonate with the outside world.
The outside world would be affected by his pocket dimension, creating a purple electric field.
For example, Ping Yang's Blazing Qilin Spear was based on this principle. Through the uniqueness of the Blazing Qilin Spear, it could create a field of fire.
Another example was the Blue Fire Wolf.
Similarly, it created flames through friction with the air. However, compared to the Blazing Qilin Spear, the Blue Fire Wolf's fire was... The difference was far too great.
Lightning could cause a temporary numbing effect on the human body. Furthermore, the speed of lightning was second only to the wind. This was why Su Donglin chose to use the electric field.
Within the purple electric field, bolts of lightning snaked towards Yan Xiu. They covered Yan Xiu's body, as if trying to tear him apart.
Su Donglin's eyes glimmered. He knew that when the lightning wrapped around Yan Xiu, it was over.
Yan Xiu could no longer move.
But he could.
"Get out!" Su Donglin said softly. A long sword appeared in his hand.
When the sword appeared, a shadow could be seen at the tip of the sword. It was a black shadow, almost as if it was wrapped around the blade of the sword.
It was forcefully extended.
At this moment, the black shadow pulled the air with a sizzling sound.
"It's the Su Family's Shadow Sword Technique!"
"Su Donglin's first opponent is Yan Xiu?!"
"So fast... he used the electric field to control Yan Xiu's movements. Then, he used the Su Family's Shadow Sword Technique to break Yan Xiu's defense!"
"I understand now. Su Donglin wants Yan Xiu to be eliminated first. Then, he can advance to the second round!"
When Su Donglin took out his long sword, the surrounding candidates finally reacted.
However. At this point, no one could save Yan Xiu.
Because...
Yan Xiu was already surrounded by the electric field. Under the effects of the lightning, he would be temporarily paralyzed. This paralysis would be fatal in a battle.
This was the difference between the Heavenly Reflection State and the Star Conglomerate State.
Field of Restraint!
The Heavenly Reflection State could control everything around them to form a special field. Other than being used for defense or attack, it could also be used to restrain and disrupt others.
For someone in the Star Conglomerate State, no matter how good their techniques were, they would not be able to use them to their fullest under the interference of the Heavenly Reflection State.
On the other hand, the Heavenly Reflection State could be strengthened by their own field.
The speed was even faster. More ferocious.
The Thunder and Lightning Domain and the Su Family's Shadow Sword Technique, which was famous for its speed and unpredictability.
Under such a combination, no one would be able to escape.
All of the candidates thought so, including Su Donglin, Ping Yang, and Wang Chuanping all had the same thought.
The only person who did not think so was Fang Zhengzhi.
The black shadow of the sword pierced through, emitting a sizzling sound.
Then, Yan Xiu dodged.
With his entire body covered in purple lightning, he moved his body and used his Wind Shadow Steps to create a shadow, dodging Su Donglin's sword.
Su Donglin's sword stopped in mid-air. His eyes widened in shock.
"How is this possible?!"
All of the other candidates could not believe it. How could Yan Xiu not be paralyzed by the electric field? It was impossible for such a situation to occur.
This was something that defied common sense.
It was like a person who had been tied up like a dumpling and thrown into a big wooden box, but had suddenly disappeared. Most importantly, the lock and the box were not damaged.
Unless...
A thought flashed across everyone's mind. However, it was fleeting.
