...
Fang Zhengzhi, Ping Yang, and Yan Xiu happily reached an agreement. However, all of the other candidates were stunned.
What was going on?
This was bullying.
It was as if they were little lambs being reared in a pen. When they couldn't cross the Broken Bridge, they pushed them off. Could they be any more shameless?
The examinees stared at each other.
They all hoped that someone would step out to uphold justice and reprimand their actions. Then, they would kick Fang Zhengzhi and the other two out of the World of the Sage.
But who would do that?
Nangong Mu had no interest in this, and Xing Qingsui did not want to get into trouble at this time.
Because, Su Donglin's example was right in front of them.
One on one?
Fang Zhengzhi's current strategy was obviously a shameless three-on-one fight. Under such circumstances, they had to wait for a real one-on-one opportunity.
Nangong Mu and Xing Qingsui were waiting.
As for the rest of the Heavenly Reflection State candidates, they were not going to risk their lives. Ping Yang was obviously not going to target them. The reason was simple. Since they were lambs, the weaker they were, the better. If they were too strong, it would be difficult to control them.
As the saying goes, if it does not concern you, just let it go.
This was the combat examinations, not the time to be impulsive. Furthermore, everyone was looking forward to seeing Fang Zhengzhi's face when he could not cross the Broken Bridge.
In this way, the remaining Star Condensation examinees looked at each other and helplessly discovered that they were powerless to resist.
Ping Yang's clear eyes looked at the examinees in front of her, revealing a radiant smile, like a Blue Fire Wolf waiting to enjoy its meal.
Other than a few Heavenly Reflection State cultivators, the rest of the examinees had already begun to flee frantically. However, the place was only so big, and there was no cover. Where could these weaklings of the Star Conglomerate State escape to?
This scene seemed a little strange. A group of people were frantically dodging. Compared to when they first entered the World of the Sage, there was a huge difference.
How skilled was Ping Yang? This could be seen from the fact that they were capturing people.
"You, that's right. I am talking about you! Come over! You dare not come over? Once we are out of the World of the Sage, I will go to your house! "
"Ah?! Your Highness, please don't … "
After a series of threats and promises, not long after, Ping Yang caught three pitiful people with their heads lowered. They all had bitter expressions on their faces. Their expressions were the living embodiment of three wronged wives who were disliked.
The other examinees who were lucky enough to survive all heaved a sigh of relief, rejoicing that they were able to escape death.
"Please let us go, Your Royal Highness. We just want to take the exam happily!"
"That's right, Your Highness. If you want to cross the Broken Bridge, then go ahead. We're all innocent people …"
"Your Royal Highness, I have an eighty-year-old mother. My wife left me long ago, leaving behind a child who is crying piteously for food. The Imperial Examinations are my only hope of survival. Your Highness, please leave some hope for our family. "
The three pitiful creatures looked at the arrogant and despotic Ping Yang in front of them and made their final struggle. Each of them almost squeezed out a few drops of tears.
"Shut up! What do you mean by crying piteously? I've used this technique too many times. Let me tell you, based on your abilities, you have no hope of passing the combat examinations. Stop struggling. If you listen to me, I will give each of you 500 silvers! "Ping Yang waved her hand and threw out three large bills.
She did not even blink.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" The three pitiful creatures immediately thanked her when they saw the bills.
Just as Ping Yang had said, based on their abilities. Their chances of passing the combat examinations were not high. It was already a miracle that they did not get eliminated in the first round.
Being able to get 500 silvers as a reward was already a blessing in disguise.
After thanking her, the three pitiful creatures prepared to receive the bills.
However, when they looked down, they raised their heads. The bills in Ping Yang's hands had disappeared. When she looked again, she saw that the three bills were in Fang Zhengzhi's hands.
"Don't you know not to show your wealth? Really, I will help you keep it safe. "Fang Zhengzhi stuffed the three bills into his pocket with a sincere expression.
Ping Yang was stunned. Yan Xiu's expression was calm.
As for the three pitiful creatures, when they saw Fang Zhengzhi snatch the bills away, tears began to form in their eyes. This was too much. Not only were they treated like lambs, even their bills were snatched away.
"Actually, you should thank me." After Fang Zhengzhi kept the bills, he began to console the three.
"Thank you?!" The three of them looked at each other. They did not understand where this gratitude was coming from.
When the other candidates saw this, they began to curse in their hearts. Wasn't this too shameless? They were willing to be your stepping stone, yet you still want to snatch their money?
"If I'm not wrong, the three of you are in the Second-Class Roll of the Theory Examinations?" Fang Zhengzhi ignored the discussions around him and asked directly.
"Yes … yes." The three of them nodded. This was the truth.
"According to the rules of the Imperial Examinations, if those on the First-Class Roll can pass the first two rounds, they are guaranteed to pass. Those on the Second-Class Roll have to pass at least the third or even the fourth round. Am I right?"
"That's right …"
"Then, based on your true abilities, how many rounds can you make it?"
"This … if you are lucky, you can make it through the first round. If you are lucky, you can make it through the second round. As for the third and fourth …" The three of them looked at each other. They knew that it was too difficult to make it through the third and fourth rounds.
Among the participants of the combat examinations, there were more than 30 people in the Heavenly Reflection State. Even so, the remaining Star Conglomerate State cultivators all had their own unique techniques. They were not easy to deal with.
"As such, you should thank me. If I cross the Broken Bridge, then you can naturally follow me. In fact, I can even bring you to the end. As long as you follow us to the fourth round, wouldn't you have passed the Imperial Examinations?" Fang Zhengzhi explained patiently.
"Cross the Broken Bridge? To the fourth round … this … "The three of them wanted to say that this was not possible, but they did not have the guts to say it.
"Oh yes, I forgot to mention, this silver note is just a deposit. If you follow us to the fourth round, each of you will have to give me … Hmm, just give me 500 silvers per person!"
"Young Master Fang, if you really bring us to the fourth round, not just 500 silvers, even 1000 silvers would not be expensive."
"Is that so? Then just give me 2000 silvers. "
"..." The three of them were speechless. Then, one of them mustered up his courage, "Young Master Fang, if you … don't cross the Broken Bridge and throw us off, then the silver … we …"
"I already said it's a deposit. Naturally, it will not be refunded. Young people need to take risks when doing business. Is there anything in this world that is 100% successful? Don't you agree? "Fang Zhengzhi looked at the three of them.
"Yes, Young Master Fang is right … we were too naive." The three of them looked at each other and nodded with tears in their eyes. Risk … wasn't the risk all on them?
"Alright, let's cross the bridge." After saying that, Fang Zhengzhi walked towards the Broken Bridge.
All of the other candidates were speechless. That worked too? What kind of business was this? It was clearly an open and aboveboard robbery, right?
If they lost, they would not be compensated. If they won, they would still have to pay …
…
"Shameless!"
Within the Imperial Academy, King Duan and Han Zhangfeng looked at each other and saw the same expression in each other's eyes. Then, both of them cursed at the same time.
Ninth Prince Lin Yun's eyes glimmered.
"Being shameless to this extent seems to be a good thing?" Ninth Prince Lin Yun thought to himself. However, he did not say this out loud.
…
The Broken Bridge was still the same Broken Bridge. The only difference was that there was a person standing on it. The wind blew against the edge of the cliff, causing his clothes to flutter.
Beside the stone tablet at the end of the Broken Bridge, there were five people.
Ping Yang in her Red Flame Flower Armor and Yan Xiu in his white robe were staring at the person on the Broken Bridge. As for the other three, they all had their heads lowered, their expressions depressed.
After watching for a while, the other candidates did not continue to wait.
They all began to compete. Then, from time to time, the sounds of someone being eliminated and someone advancing could be heard.
"It's already been so long? How boring … I think we should just push the three of them off! " Ping Yang seemed to be getting impatient. Because, Fang Zhengzhi had already been standing on the Broken Bridge for almost an hour.
Yan Xiu did not speak. The other three trembled in fear. This feeling of having their fate controlled by someone else was not a good feeling.
"I think Fang Zhengzhi is just holding on because he wants to save his face. Yan Xiu, you should know that the World of the Sage is not something we can pass with our current abilities. This Imperial Examination is only using the World of the Sage for us to observe. Do you really think he can cross the Broken Bridge?" Ping Yang saw that Yan Xiu was silent and asked again.
"He definitely can." Yan Xiu replied calmly.
"You trust him that much? If we waste too much time in this round, when we enter the second round, we might not have any opponents left. When that time comes, do you want to fight Fang Zhengzhi in the second round? "Ping Yang was confused.
"I trust him." Yan Xiu replied again, his tone without any doubt.
…
Time passed minute by minute. There were not many people left in the first round of the World of the Sage. From time to time, the sounds in the sky rang out. There were even people who had entered the third round.
A few of the remaining candidates looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was still standing on the Broken Bridge, disdainful expressions on their faces.
"It's been so long? I'm afraid he's asleep. "
"I think he is waiting! When we all enter the second round, he will push the three of them off. That way, he will have some face, right? "
"Hahaha … I think so too!"
