Chen Feiyu had challenged Nangong Hao in front of 50,000 soldiers and so many candidates. However, he was defeated by Nangong Hao in one move. This was a tragedy.
Most importantly, he didn't even see how he was defeated. Perhaps the word 'tragedy' could no longer describe it.
However...
Even though it was a tragedy, he still answered all of the questions in the minds of the candidates.
If Nangong Hao was said to be a genius four years ago, brilliant and brilliant, then the Nangong Hao four years later could only be described with one word.
That was, terrifying!
His aura was like a rainbow. It meant that he was in high spirits and his aura was so strong that it could pierce through a rainbow.
Nangong Hao had only used one sword move, but it was this sword move that made all of the candidates understand the meaning of the phrase "Unstoppable Force".
All of the candidates looked at each other. They could all sense the shock in each other's eyes. However, they had no words to describe what had just happened.
Ever since Nangong Hao attacked, all of them had thought that his attack was too ordinary. Even though it was fast...
However, when the sword pierced through the blue light screen surrounding Chen Feiyu's body, everything was a completely different feeling.
At that moment...
The entire world seemed to have stopped moving.
From the moment Nangong Hao's sword came into contact with the light, it felt like it had disappeared. Or rather, it felt like it was undergoing some sort of special displacement.
However, all of the candidates knew very well that... No matter how powerful Nangong Hao was, he could not break through space. Displacement.
After all... Not to mention Nangong Hao, even a Rebirth State expert would not be able to withstand the tearing force of the other space for even a breath's time.
As such, Nangong Hao could not teleport!
However, Nangong Hao's sword forcefully pierced through the blue light surrounding Chen Feiyu's body. Furthermore. In that instant, Nangong Hao felt as though he had disappeared from the eyes of the candidates.
Something that was impossible had actually happened.
There was only one possibility.
That was fusion.
When Nangong Hao's sword pierced through the blue light, it had entered some sort of fusion. Or rather... At that moment, Nangong Hao had become one with the screen of light.
Only a perfect fusion could prevent Chen Feiyu's "Torrential Storm" from feeling any hostility. This was because the "Torrential Storm" could not retaliate against him.
"Everything can be controlled by you, but they can also be controlled by me!"
These words echoed in the minds of the candidates. They knew what Nangong Hao meant. In fact, even Chen Feiyu knew what Nangong Hao meant.
However …
They didn't believe it, or rather, they didn't want to believe it!
Merging with the Dao!
How exaggerated!
When it came to breathtaking, many people would think of bright colors or majestic mountains and rivers. But in reality, there were no external things that could reach the level of breathtaking.
There was only a fleeting glimpse of it.
Four years later, Nangong Hao stood in front of the candidates once again. They were not only satisfied with his answers, they were also shocked.
"Did you see it clearly?" Yan Xiu spoke at this moment. He did not praise Nangong Hao's strength, nor did he deliberately belittle Nangong Hao's weakness. He did not even ask Fangzheng what he wanted to do after coming down.
He only asked a question that seemed to be a question that could or should not be asked.
However, Fang Zhengzhi immediately understood what Yan Xiu was thinking.
"I still have so many soldiers in my hands. Furthermore, I have enough time. If I want to see it clearly, there are many ways." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
He knew what Yan Xiu was thinking, but he could not accept it.
"If I am not wrong, you will not be able to use the soldiers behind you. At the very least, you will not be able to use them to defeat Nangong Hao." Yan Xiu shook his head as he spoke confidently.
"Why?" Fang Zhengzhi did not understand.
"Because, Nangong Hao walked out of the Icy Monkey Settlement alone!" Yan Xiu explained.
This explanation was not very specific. However, Fang Zhengzhi understood. Would Nangong Hao do something he was not confident of?
Of course not.
Nangong Hao left the Nangong Nobles and traveled all the way to the capital to participate in the court examinations. If it was just for a ranking, there was no need for him to do so.
However, Nangong Hao came.
There was only one reason. He wanted to wash away the humiliation of the Nangong Nobles.
Then, with such a reason and facing such a huge disparity in strength between him and the enemy, Nangong Hao still walked out calmly, and he did it alone.
In fact, this was enough to prove his point.
Nangong Hao was confident that he would win. Since he was certain that he would win, it was impossible for him to face an army of 50,000 soldiers at the same time.
One against 50,000?
This was definitely an unrealistic thing. The legends of killing thousands with a single punch and making tens of thousands cry with a single stomp were really just legends.
After all, even if 50,000 people were to stand there and let you kill them, you would have to kill them for days without rest. Furthermore, these people could run, jump, shoot and wield their spears.
Fang Zhengzhi understood what Yan Xiu was trying to say. However, he was not sure how Nangong Hao was going to get the soldiers behind him out of his control.
Was it a military token?
Or a secret order from Emperor Lin Mubai?
Fang Zhengzhi suddenly understood. He knew that this combat examinations was just one of the reasons why the Great Xia Dynasty came to the Southern Mountain Range. The deeper reason was to "use their troops".
As for how to use the troops, how to use the troops, and where to use the troops, he had never been too clear.
However, just because he did not know did not mean that Nangong Hao did not know.
Everything seemed to have returned to square one. In other words, Fang Zhengzhi had never stepped out of this huge chess game.
However, these were just Fang Zhengzhi's guesses. Yan Xiu was also guessing. As for whether or not the soldiers behind him were truly out of his control... He would only know after trying.
"General Li. Take 1,000 soldiers and surround Nangong Hao! " Fang Zhengzhi could not possibly order all 50,000 soldiers to attack. After all, that would be pointless.
"Roger!" General Li did not even hesitate when he heard Fang Zhengzhi's words. It was almost as if he did not receive any secret orders.
Obedient.
From a certain point of view, Fang Zhengzhi was surprised by how obedient General Li was. Fang Zhengzhi could not help but wonder if he and Yan Xiu were wrong.
The 1,000 soldiers were quickly tallied.
300 shield soldiers, 300 spear soldiers, 300 blade soldiers. There were also 100 archers.
This was the most suitable mix and match formation. Shield in front, spear behind, saber on both sides, bow behind, especially when dealing with a single person. As long as they surrounded this person tightly in the middle, forming a large circle, then, generally speaking, they could do whatever they wanted to do with this person …
"Kaboom!"
The 1,000 soldiers marched towards Nangong Hao, who was standing at the entrance of the Icy Monkey Settlement. A murderous aura rose.
All of the candidates had a strange expression on their faces.
They felt that in a fair and just way, it should be a duel between the generals of the two armies. However, this was a combat examination after all. The combat examination was a real battlefield.
Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzhi were vastly different in terms of individual and military power. As such, it was not surprising that Fang Zhengzhi would use this method.
If they were in Fang Zhengzhi's position, they would do the same.
Chen Feiyu stood rooted to the ground. He did not know if he should return to Fang Zhengzhi's army or enter the Icy Monkey Settlement as a prisoner.
Nangong Hao also stood rooted to the ground. However, unlike Chen Feiyu, Nangong Hao's body was stable and did not move at all. Even his expression did not change.
The 1,000 soldiers moved quickly. Before long, they were in front of Nangong Hao. Furthermore, they began to surround him from both sides.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu stared intently at the open gates of the Icy Monkey Settlement, almost as if he was waiting for someone to appear.
"Is there anyone else in the Icy Monkey Settlement?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.
"I'm not sure." Yan Xiu shook his head.
"Mm, then let's wait and see." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
Perhaps Fang Zhengzhi's words worked, or perhaps Yan Xiu's gaze moved the heavens. Regardless, a new figure appeared at the gates of the Icy Monkey Settlement.
It was a young man riding a tall, green-scaled colt. He was wearing armor, but it was different from the armor worn by the ordinary soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty.
There was a pattern on the chest of his armor. In the middle of the pattern, there was a silver word...
"Order!"
This represented his identity. He was a messenger.
On the other hand, if a messenger dared to openly flash the word 'order' on his chest, it actually meant that his orders had been delivered in time, and there was no need for any disguise.
"Your Highness, order!"
A sonorous voice sounded at this moment. At the same time, the messenger flipped over a black token with a silver dragon engraved on it.
The thousand soldiers surrounding Nangong Hao from both sides immediately stopped.
All of them looked at each other. General Li, who was in charge of these 1000 soldiers, stopped and glanced at Fang Zhengzhi. Then, he dismounted and half-knelt on the ground.
The 50,000 soldiers standing behind Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu all knelt down. They knew very well what this Silver Dragon Token meant.
This was a military order!
A military order that they had to obey unconditionally!
All of the candidates looked at each other. They did not have to obey a military order, but they had to obey this Silver Dragon token.
This Silver Dragon token represented the Crown Prince.
As for the Crown Prince...
It was the representative of the Emperor for this combat examination.
In other words, without the Emperor's edict, the Crown Prince's orders were the highest authority in this combat examination. There was no need to question it.
All of the candidates knelt down on one knee respectfully.
As for Fang Zhengzhi, he sat leisurely on the back of his horse. He did not recognize this token, but from the expressions of the soldiers, he could roughly guess what it was used for.
However, he was actually a little disappointed in his heart.
He originally thought that Nangong Hao might have the Emperor's secret edict in his hands, and the token of the messenger would definitely be the Emperor's token. However, he didn't expect it to be the Crown Prince's token.
The Crown Prince was the representative of the Emperor. He had no right to interfere with the details of the combat examination. Furthermore, many things had to be done according to the rules of the combat examination. He could not take away control of the army.
Unless...
They had to mobilize the army and start a war with the Southern Region.
Only then, under the circumstances of the overall situation, could the combat examination be paused temporarily. After the war had died down, the combat examination could be resumed to its current state.
That was the fairness of the combat examination.
So, for the messenger to pass on the Crown Prince's order, did that mean war was about to break out?
Just as Fang Zhengzhi was thinking about this, the messenger pulled on the reins of his horse and walked forward. He looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him, then at Fang Zhengzhi.
"Orders from the Crown Prince! Fang Zhengzhi was audacious during the announcement of the results for the theory examination, disregarding the law and ignoring the announcement of the results. His first crime was not reporting to the Crown Prince immediately after entering the Southern Mountain Range for the combat examination. His second crime was not reporting his results in a timely manner during the examination. His third crime was not reporting his results in a timely manner. His third crime was improper. In view of these three crimes, I hereby order that Fang Zhengzhi be temporarily disqualified from the combat examination. He will be reinstated after the truth has been ascertained!
The voice of the messenger was extremely loud. At the very least, all the scholars and military commanders standing in front of the soldiers, including the 500 Silver Horned Wolves, could hear it clearly.
However, because they heard it too clearly, the expressions of the candidates and the military commanders became incomparably shocked.
"Temporarily disqualified?!"
"Did I hear wrongly? Fang Zhengzhi's right to the combat examination is disqualified?! "
"Does that mean that our defeats are disqualified?"
All of the candidates stared at each other in disbelief. However, the first thought that came to their minds was, if Fang Zhengzhi was really disqualified from the combat examinations, he would not be able to participate in it.
In that case, wouldn't it be equivalent to them returning to the era of abundant battle results?
Especially Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu. They had gone from being disqualified to participating in the examination. Furthermore, the two of them would be able to split the 40,000 soldiers under Fang Zhengzhi's command.
It had to be said that this was something to be happy about.
