...
Within the Imperial Academy, Fang Zhengzhi was no longer on the screen. There was only a different scene. There were many candidates.
On the other hand, King Duan and Han Zhangfeng's gazes landed on Xing Qingsui, who was dressed in black.
Xing Qingsui had just finished off an opponent and was about to enter the third round.
"Not bad, clean and efficient!" King Duan praised from the side.
"Mm, Xing Qingsui has been training with Xing Hou on the battlefield all these years. He seems to have learned some of Xing Hou's fighting spirit. Even a Heavenly Reflection State opponent could not last more than 15 minutes against him. Xing Qingsui has not wasted his time these few years. It is rare to see someone as hot-blooded as him." Han Zhangfeng nodded.
Xing Qingsui's display of power just now had shocked him.
"This Imperial Examinations was very exciting. Official Han, why don't you analyze who will top the combat examinations, Xing Qingsui or Nangong Mu?" As King Duan spoke, he turned to look at Nangong Mu, who had also entered the third round.
"Your Highness King Duan is putting me in a difficult position. Forgive me for not being able to see it for now. Nangong Mu's opponents in these two rounds were too weak … as if he was intentionally hiding his strength." Han Changfeng shook his head.
"Mm, this Nangong Mu..." King Duan paused and fell into deep thought.
The Ninth Prince, Lin Yun, seemed to be thinking about something.
Han Changfeng stopped talking to King Duan. Instead, he looked at the time. Then, his gaze landed on Ninth Prince Lin Yun's face.
"Haha... what is the Ninth Prince thinking?" Han Zhangfeng's tone was polite.
"Mm, I am thinking if Fang Zhengzhi can cross the Broken Bridge." The Ninth Prince replied after some thought.
"Ninth Prince, you are thinking too much. The World of the Sage was created by the Sagely Battle God Meng Tian. The barriers here are naturally imbued with Meng Tian's will. It is impossible for a Heavenly Reflection State cultivator to force their way through." Han Zhangfeng's eyes glimmered, but he still explained.
"Is there no way to break this barrier?" The Ninth Prince was confused.
"It's not that you can't break it, but you have to find the right way to do it. However, after so many years, no one has found a way to cross the Broken Bridge. Most of them have forcefully broken through the restrictions. However, based on what I know, there has never been a Heavenly Reflection State cultivator who has broken through the restrictions of this Broken Bridge. "Han Changfeng smiled and nodded.
"I see. Then … he probably won't be able to break it. "The Ninth Prince seemed somewhat disappointed.
"It's not an estimate, it's definitely impossible!" King Duan spoke again, then sighed softly.
There seemed to be a sigh in her eyes.
"Ninth Brother, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you have the blood of the Lin Royal Family flowing in your veins. Sometimes, you have to be more careful when you do things. This time, you and I are supervising the Imperial Examination. Even though Sir Han is the chief examiner, but … Shouldn't you go and look up some information about the World of the Sage? Thank goodness no one heard your question. How can a Heavenly Reflection State cultivator break through the restrictions of the Broken Bridge? This is nothing more than the arrogance and conceit of a frog in a well. "
"Brother, you are right!" The Ninth Prince nodded when he heard King Duan's words. However, he was still deep in thought.
However, because he was watching the second round of the World of the Sage, he did not know what was going on in the first round.
…
Within the World of the Sage.
Ping Yang stomped her feet anxiously as she listened to the voices.
"Xing Qingsui and Nangong Mu are both in the third round. I am still in the first round!" Ping Yang pouted. She was clearly unhappy.
Yan Xiu, who was standing beside her, had a cold expression on his face. It was as if he did not hear the voices in the sky.
As for the three pitiful children near the two of them, they were getting more and more anxious. Because, the longer Fang Zhengzhi dragged on, the higher the chances of them being pushed down.
Compared to the five of them, Fang Zhengzhi's expression was very relaxed.
He did not look too serious or serious. Instead, he looked very relaxed, occasionally glancing at the stone bridge beneath his feet. Occasionally, he would raise his head to look at the thick white fog.
Rather than saying that he was thinking about crossing the bridge, it would be more accurate to say that he was admiring the broken bridge.
Ever since he stepped onto the bridge, he had been admiring it.
He admired the two words "Broken Bridge" on the stone tablet in front of the Broken Bridge for almost a quarter of an hour. Then, he looked at every stone on the Broken Bridge, and even every gap on the Broken Bridge. He carefully admired them.
It had to be said that this broken bridge had a classical feel to it. If it was in his previous life, it would definitely be a strange sight that would attract tourists to stop and admire.
However, what was so special about such a bridge being erected in the World of the Sage and used as a condition to pass through?
From the feel of it...
Fang Zhengzhi was certain that the World of the Sage was different from the pocket dimension he had encountered in the River of Trust Province Examinations.
Almost all of the obstacles there had to do with formations. However, the broken bridge in front of him was completely different. This was a beautiful bridge. Other than beauty, there was nothing else about it.
Standing on the bridge, there was no pressure from the outside world. There were no rocks falling from the sky, no needles. It looked just like an ordinary bridge.
But, this was the World of the Sage.
This was a world created by Sagely Battle God Meng Tian.
Naturally, this bridge couldn't be ordinary.
Fang Zhengzhi had thought that there would be some restrictions on the bridge. At the very least, there would be some hints, such as words or patterns. However, after admiring it for almost an hour...
He realized...
There was nothing.
This design was a little intoxicating.
However, Fang Zhengzhi wasn't too bothered. He wanted to cross the bridge, but he wasn't going to be stubborn. His state of mind was still very calm.
After all, if he really could not cross, it was very simple.
He could just throw someone down.
Since there was such a simple solution waiting for him, Fang Zhengzhi naturally would not be too stubborn and vexed about crossing the bridge.
Crossing it was a blessing.
Even if he could not, there was no loss.
Fang Zhengzhi had always been very casual. As such, when he was done admiring the scenery, he took another step forward. He wanted to see if there were any floating images below the bridge.
However, to his disappointment, there weren't any floating mountains or rocks beneath his feet. There was only a deep and dark cliff.
He could not see the bottom, or rather, there was no bottom.
"Although there isn't much scenery under the bridge, it still feels like a fairyland when you look at it from the top of the bridge."
"The bridge is broken..."
Fang Zhengzhi looked at the white fog in front of him and slowly closed his eyes, enjoying the gentle breeze. Then, an image from his past life appeared in his mind.
There was also a broken bridge there.
Whenever it snowed, standing on the mountain, one could always see the bridge covered in snow. The snow blended in with the surrounding snow-white environment, and the bridge was faintly discernible. The white snow in the culvert formed a contrast with the bridge, giving it a feeling that it was broken but not broken at the same time.
"The pavilion rises high, and one enters the heart of the lake."
"The mountains are always moist without rain, and the water is dark without clouds."
"The broken bridge is desolate, and the flowers are deep in the empty courtyard."
"I remember the moon in the west, and the bell rings in the north."
"The broken bridge is one of the ten sceneries of West Lake. I have been in this world for so many years, I wonder what would happen if I were to return to my previous world? Wouldn't it feel good to destroy a luxury car with one punch? "
Just as he was thinking about it, Fang Zhengzhi was stunned.
"Hang on!"
If one were to imagine the white fog in front of them as white snow, it would seem to match the snow on the Broken Bridge over West Lake. Both bridges were very old, and there were things that could affect one's vision.
The broken bridge in West Lake was an illusion because it was covered in snow.
However, the broken bridge in front of him was shrouded in thick fog, and he couldn't see the other side, so he felt like he was in a fairyland.
It was faintly discernible.
It seemed to be broken!
The broken bridge!
"I think I understand... no way?! Don't tell me this bridge is... "Fang Zhengzhi's eyes lit up, as if a ray of light had descended from the sky.
