At a time when the atmosphere was a little tense, no one would pay attention to the fact that a middle-aged man who was so weak that he couldn't even withstand a gust of wind was so clean.
Almost everyone's attention was on Ping Yang and Xing Qingsui.
Ping Yang's attacks were like a raging storm...
However, no matter how violent the storm was, there would always be a time when the sky would clear up.
After all, Ping Yang was only in the Star Conglomerate State. As such, she would not be able to use the Blazing Qilin Spear for long.
"Boom!"
The two figures that were colliding fiercely separated.
Ping Yang was the one who retreated.
She did not want to retreat, but Xing Qingsui's Black Meteor had pierced her arm.
As such, she retreated.
However, she wasn't injured because she was still wearing the Red Flame Flower Armor.
When the Black Meteor pierced her arm, a ray of red light dissipated the force of the attack. However, she was still forced back.
Ping Yang panted heavily as sweat beaded her forehead. Her arm holding onto the Blazing Qilin Spear trembled slightly.
Xing Qingsui was panting heavily as well. He was sweating even more than Ping Yang, but his grip on the sword was as steady as a mountain.
"How powerful!"
"The Stabilization Constabulary is indeed the leader of the 13 Constabularies. Xing Qingsui did not even try to dodge the Blazing Qilin Spear. Impressive."
All of the candidates discussed softly as they looked at Xing Qingsui. They had even forgotten about the sword sealed in the rock.
"You... lost!" Xing Qingsui looked at Ping Yang, panting slightly.
Ping Yang did not speak. She knew that it was difficult for her to even hold the spear, much less raise it. However, she found it hard to believe that Xing Qingsui could still raise his sword.
However, this thought didn't last long before it dissipated.
Xing Qingsui had raised his sword.
The Black Meteor Sword was pointed straight at Ping Yang. The sword, which was heavier than the others, did not even tremble in his hand.
Ping Yang bit her lip. After a long silence, she walked to Fang Zhengzhi's side, "I... lost, so... I will be eliminated. However, I am curious, what did you see in the stone... stone house? "
"Illusion!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the panting Ping Yang. He could not describe what was going on in the stone house, so he used the simplest words to describe it.
"Illusion? It seemed like it was a test of the heart … of the heart! Wait a minute, in your hallucination … there's … there's no woman, right? "Ping Yang suddenly thought of some hallucination tests that tested one's temperament.
There would always be some unbearable scenes inside.
Fang Zhengzhi did not understand why Ping Yang would ask such a question. He did not want to answer. However, thinking of Ping Yang's understanding of the Twin Monument Trees, could it be that she had found some clues about the stone house?
Therefore, he thought about it for a moment. It seemed that he really saw Ping Yang after he went out of the hallucination.
"Yes, I saw you."
"You saw me?! You … are shameless to the extreme! "Ping Yang's originally rosy face immediately turned as red as an apple.
This was because she suddenly recalled the scene in Tranquil Sun Residence where Fang Zhengzhi had seen her naked. She could not understand how Fang Zhengzhi could do something so shameless. He had said it so openly and honorably.
Even though Fang Zhengzhi did not object to people calling him shameless, he felt a little wronged. She was the one who asked him if he saw a woman, and he answered truthfully. Yet, he was called shameless?
How could he still be a good person?
"You son of a b * tch!" Fang Zhengzhi replied unceremoniously, even using an authentic Northern Mountain Village accent.
"Ah … you country bumpkin, how dare you scold me?!" Even though Ping Yang did not quite understand the meaning behind Fang Zhengzhi's words, she knew that the combination of the two words was definitely not a compliment.
"So what if I scold you? Do you want to fight to the death with me again? Now … you still have the strength to fight? "Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ping Yang's slightly trembling arms with disdain.
"You. You … "
"Why aren't you out yet?" Fang Zhengzhi ignored the angry Ping Yang and looked up at the sky.
He had always felt that something was amiss.
When he saw the examinee fall from the rock, he had guessed something.
Based on the injuries of the examinee, it was obvious that he had lost the ability to continue participating in the combat examinations. As such, he should have been eliminated immediately to receive treatment.
But now …
The examinee was still lying on the ground, his body almost forming a small pool of blood.
And now, Ping Yang had already admitted defeat.
Why was she still able to stand here and talk to him?
Fang Zhengzhi's question made Ping Yang even more unhappy. Just as she was about to use the last bit of her strength to stab him, she suddenly froze.
Because … She suddenly felt that Fang Zhengzhi's question was a little too serious.
Just as Fang Zhengzhi said, this was the Imperial Examinations …
Why was she not out yet?
"Han Changfeng, are you sleeping? Hurry up and let this princess out! " Ping Yang looked up at the sky. She knew that Han Changfeng was definitely watching this scene from the Imperial Academy.
When the other examinees heard Ping Yang's words, they all reacted.
The battle on the rock was extremely intense. At least three or four examinees were severely injured. According to the rules of the Imperial Examinations, these people should have been eliminated.
But now …
They were not.
The sky was still silent, not a single sound could be heard. Naturally, no examinees were eliminated.
"What's going on?"
"Did the rules of the combat examinations change? Are there no more eliminations? "
"How is this possible?"
All of the examinees guessed, their faces filled with confusion.
Then, they all thought of a problem.
When they saw the sword just now, their attention was completely focused on the sword. They did not think too much about why they were here.
But now that they thought about it, there were too many questions …
For example, Xing Qingsui and Nangong Mu had already entered the Fourth Round.
Then why were they here?
Furthermore, what was that collapsing feeling just now? It was as if the entire World of the Sage had been broken and reformed. The scenery changed.
If one had entered the Fourth Round from the Third Round, the feeling should not have been as intense.
"Where is this?"
"Is this still the World of the Sage?"
"Why is everyone here at the same time? Where did the sword … come from? "
Questions appeared in everyone's minds. No one could understand what was going on. They had never experienced something like this before.
They were all here to participate in the combat examinations.
But now …
The rules of the combat examinations were completely different.
There was no sound in the air. Even if the examinees were injured, they would not be eliminated. Everything was out of everyone's expectations, bringing with it a strange atmosphere.
"Could it be that the World of the Sage …"
When a possibility appeared in everyone's mind, everyone's expression changed in an instant.
"The World of the Sage. Could it be out of control? "
"That's impossible? The World of the Sage was created by the Sagely Battle God Meng Tian. Furthermore, Meng Tian has been gone for so long … "
"If this is still the World of the Sage? Why is it not eliminated? "
"The sword … the problem lies with the sword!"
When a voice rang out, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the sword that was sealed on the rock. The golden light was still flickering, but … The feeling was completely different.
Previously, everyone had the mindset of fighting for the treasure. Now, their mindset was completely different.
It was a blessing to be able to control the treasure.
However, if a treasure were to take control of a person …
That would not be a blessing.
"The World of the Sage is out of control. The sword … the sword is controlling the World of the Sage?!" A candidate looked at the sealed sword and guessed.
"It could also be a test, a sudden situation that might occur during the combat examination, to test our ability to deal with situations and react accordingly?" Another examinee used his own imagination.
All of the candidates discussed. They all wanted to know what was going on.
…
Within the Yan Capital, it was raining cats and dogs.
A row of armored soldiers. They sped into the royal city.
When the guards in charge of guarding the imperial city saw these people, they didn't stop them at all. They didn't even check the token that allowed them to pass.
Everyone who saw this group of soldiers had expressions of extreme respect on their faces.
Not long after the soldiers entered the royal city, the Ninth Prince Lin Yun sped over. He did not hold an umbrella, nor did he have many guards with him. He barged into the royal city.
"The Ninth Prince is here to seek an audience. Is His Majesty summoning you?" The guards of the Imperial City stretched their hands out when they saw the Ninth Prince.
"There's an emergency in the Imperial Examinations. We need to see the Emperor immediately. " The Ninth Prince wasn't angered by the guards' obstruction. However, he sounded a little anxious.
"If the Emperor does not summon us, we have to report to the Emperor first. When the Emperor … "
"I know the rules, but this is an emergency. We need to see the Emperor immediately!" The Ninth Prince interrupted the guard.
The guards looked at each other hesitantly.
"The Ninth Prince is supervising the Imperial Examinations. Since you have an emergency, there is no need to report. Naturally, there's no need to inform anyone. Let them pass! "Right at this moment, a slightly indifferent voice resounded from the top of the Imperial City's tower.
"Yes!" As soon as the guards heard this voice, they immediately responded.
"Ninth Prince, please!"
"Thank you!"
The Ninth Prince thanked the guard. He naturally knew where the Emperor Lin Mubai was at this time. As such, he ran towards the royal study.
…
Within the World of the Sage, almost everyone's attention was on the sword.
"Whether the World of the Sage is out of control or the rules of the combat examinations have changed, the problem lies with the sword. If we pull out the sword, the problem will be solved!" A candidate suggested.
When the other examinees heard this suggestion, they all nodded slightly.
Then, the next question was, who could pull out the sword?
It seemed like a very simple question.
However, it was extremely difficult to make a decision.
Because …
There was a problem that no one had mentioned.
If the World of the Sage was out of control, then the problem lay with the sword. This sword had a consciousness.
In other words, this sword controlled the World of the Sage.
Who could pull out the sword!
Whoever controlled the World of the Sage.
This was something that no one was willing to talk about, but it was something that everyone was well aware of.
"Since we are all in the Imperial Examinations, then let's follow the rules. The final victor will have the right to pull out the sword! "
Soon, a suggestion was thrown out, and this suggestion was also suitable for the time and environment they were in.
No one objected.
Everything was decided by power.
The candidates who were standing on the rocks walked down reluctantly. Even though they agreed with this suggestion, they were still a little depressed.
After all, they had fought just to be able to pull out the sword.
Out of the 30 candidates, less than 25 were still able to fight.
Xing Qingsui kept his sword. He had expended a lot of energy in his battle with Ping Yang. According to the rules, he should be in the fifth round.
As such, his opponent would also be in the fifth round. As such, he had enough time to rest.
This seemed like a normal thing to do.
Xing Qingsui kept his sword and returned to the middle aged man. He sat down and closed his eyes to rest.
No one paid attention to Xing Qingsui. The candidates who had yet to pass the third round were already fighting.
Ping Yang was also resting.
However, he did not look too happy. He gritted his teeth as he looked at Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi ignored Ping Yang.
He was in the fourth round. The reason was simple. He walked out of the stone hut.
Some people were not happy.
However, this did not matter. If they were unhappy, they could be beaten into submission.
Under the combined efforts of Fang Zhengzhi, Yan Xiu, and Ping Yang, the rankings were set. Those who were not happy were now happy. The world was beautiful and harmonious.
The candidates continued to fight with their lives on the line.
Everything seemed to be in order. After all, everyone was here for the examination. There was no enmity between them. Naturally, they would not fight to the death.
However...
However, the orderly rules were broken by a soft scream.
This sound did not come from the fight in the arena. After all, the direction of the sound was not quite right. Moreover, there was an indescribable sense of disbelief in the voice.
"You..."
The examinees who were fighting in the arena stopped.
Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound.
Then, everyone's eyes widened, because just like the feeling from the voice, no one was willing to believe what was happening in front of them.
No one could believe that the sound came from Xing Qingsui.
Of course, no one would guess why Xing Qingsui would scream like that.
Because...
