"Average strength?! You … "Kong Qing stared at the figure that appeared in front of him. He could not understand how a person who first poisoned him and then launched a sneak attack could be so calm and say such words in such a casual manner.
It felt as though he had been easily defeated by him.
How shameless must a person be to be able to do this?
Kong Qing was infuriated. This was because the other party's words were undoubtedly an insult to him, as well as to the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
But he still remembered the person who appeared in front of him. He was very young, at most 17 or 18 years old. He was sure that this person was not one of the 32 participants of the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test.
He was not a participant of the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test, but he appeared here?
Who was he?
Was he a disciple of another power?
Impossible!
The Heaven Dao Pavilion had been established for so many years. Even if the other powers had a grudge to settle, they would definitely not cause trouble during the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test.
"What are you ….." Kong Qing knew that if he shouted for help now, the other party would kill him. Hence, he tried his best to lower his voice. He only wanted to know why the other party was here.
But he did not manage to finish his sentence. Because the young man who walked out did not give him a chance to speak, and directly knocked his head with the rod.
"Dong!" A dull sound.
Then, with deep unwillingness, Kong Qing fainted.
Just like when he chased the Sixth Prince of the Radiant Moon Empire away. No matter how unwilling the Sixth Prince was, he could only leave with his heavy injuries.
But, Kong Qing did not expect that retribution would come so quickly.
"I thought that I would be met with intense resistance. It seems like I was thinking too much." Fang Zhengzhi, who was dressed in a blue robe, shook his head and kept the rod that was already bent.
Then, he placed a layer of soft, crystalline substance on Kong Qing's face. He rubbed it and patted it. His actions were not considered gentle, but it was still meticulous.
The Art of Disguise.
It was a very profound skill.
Over the past year, Fang Zhengzhi had mastered many practical techniques in the Shadow Sect, such as poisoning, disguise, and camouflage.
Of course, in order to poison an "expert" like Kong Qing, it was naturally impossible to use an ordinary drug. However, this was not a problem for him. After all, the Heavenly Oasis Saint was a top-notch alchemist grandmaster.
As Fang Zhengzhi, who was often 'active' beside the Heavenly Oasis Saint, he naturally 'fished' some of them for backup.
There was a saying that went very well.
No matter how good his martial arts were, he was still afraid of a kitchen knife.
There was nothing wrong with being prepared. Furthermore, with "The Vast World", Fang Zhengzhi did not have to worry about having too many things to store.
After about a quarter of an hour.
Fang Zhengzhi finished making the human skin mask. He also stripped Kong Qing naked, tied him up and threw him to the side.
Everything was completed smoothly. Fang Zhengzhi touched the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple's robe. The pure white scholar's robe was rather comfortable to wear, especially the two words "Heaven Dao" embroidered on the chest, it looked extremely exquisite.
"Hehe, Heaven Dao Pavilion, here I come!" Fang Zhengzhi took another look at Kong Qing, who he had left at the corner of the wall, and his lips curled into a smile.
These few days, it was not easy to travel in the dark. In order to be in time for the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test, Fang Zhengzhi could be said to have suffered a lot.
But, he was still late.
When he reached the foot of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, all the "registration verification" seemed to have ended, and even the selection test was ready to start.
In order not to alert the enemy, he had to make a shocking decision.
Get some sleep.
Because, indeed, he had not closed his eyes for a few days.
But, he did not expect that, after he finally entered the small wooden house, Kong Qing would actually rush in, and even seemed to have the intention to take a bath.
Fang Zhengzhi was a seven feet tall man, how could he tolerate a man taking a bath in front of him?
Hence, he attacked.
Then …
Came the scene of Kong Qing falling to the ground.
To be honest, Fang Zhengzhi was actually a little "wronged", at least, he did not have the intention to attack Kong Qing.
He only wanted to knock out a young man who was participating in the selection test.
But, although there was a small change in the plot, with this change, Fang Zhengzhi was still very satisfied.
Selection test.
Being an "examiner" was better than being a "candidate", right?
Fang Zhengzhi did not regret his decision at all, as for what would happen if the Heaven Dao Pavilion knew about this, he really did not think about it.
Anyway, he had never thought of entering the Heaven Dao Pavilion as a disciple, after all, based on his current situation, the Heaven Dao Pavilion would not "use" him.
Since the Heaven Dao Pavilion would not use him?
Then, why would he need to sharpen his head and dig into the Heaven Dao Pavilion?
Furthermore, now that he had less than four months left to live, it could be said that it was the best time to be barefooted and not afraid of wearing shoes.
As the saying goes, if I don't enter hell, who will?
Fang Zhengzhi could not be bothered about the consequences now, he was about to lose his life, what was there to worry about offending others?
Crippling one was one.
If the conditions were sufficient, he did not even mind looting all the treasures in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, of course, the prerequisite was that he was not beaten to death on the spot.
After everything was ready, Fang Zhengzhi prepared to go out and receive the disciples who were participating in the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test, but in the instant he lifted his leg, he saw an ancient thread-bound book on the ground.
"What's this?" Fang Zhengzhi casually picked up the book, flipped through it, and very quickly, the smile on his face became brighter.
It seemed that, in order to receive this selection test well, Kong Qing had really put in a lot of effort. This book actually recorded the questions of the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test in the past years.
Of course …..
There were only questions, there were no answers.
Or, in other words, for the questions recorded in this book, there would not be any answers.
…..
When Fang Zhengzhi was flipping through the ancient book in the small wooden house, huge beasts flew above the Heaven Dao Pavilion, one after another beast roared in the air.
"The Emperor of the Radiant Moon Kingdom, the Crown Prince, has arrived!" A deep voice rang out at the entrance of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, following which, a disciple dressed in the Heaven Dao Pavilion uniform took three steps towards the entrance.
Of course, the Heaven Dao Pavilion's door was not an ordinary door, it was formed by two statues carved from white jade crystals.
The statue on the left had white hair, carrying a jade green long sword on its back, wearing a loose white robe, it looked like it was out of this world.
The statue on the right was much younger, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a sword at his waist, his expression calm, wearing a white scholar's robe, he looked extremely elegant.
As the disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion walked three steps in front of the two statues, two figures floated down from the sky. One had white hair, wearing a golden dragon robe, and the other looked to be 34 or 35 years old.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, the Pavilion Leader has been waiting at the Heaven Academic Altar for a long time!"
"Alright, then please lead the way, Envoy." The 34 or 35 year old youth heard the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple's words, nodded lightly, then seemed to have thought of something, "Oh yes, may I ask, has my sixth brother reached the foot of the Heaven Dao Pavilion? My sixth brother is more talented than me, but he is a little too spoiled ….. "
"Your Majesty, are you asking about the Sixth Prince of the Radiant Moon Kingdom?" The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple asked back.
"Yes!"
"I'm sorry, the Sixth Prince of the Radiant Moon Kingdom was too impulsive, he has already been eliminated in the selection test, and disqualified from participating in the selection test!"
"This ….. This Crown Prince ….. No, my sixth brother has already entered the Rebirth State, his strength has already reached the requirements of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, and furthermore, the selection test hasn't started yet, right?"
"When the Heaven Dao Pavilion recruits disciples, strength is only one of the factors, temperament and potential are the true criteria. Furthermore, the selection test has already started the moment you stepped into the Heaven Dao Pavilion. Your Majesty, Crown Prince, if you have no other questions, please follow me to the Heaven Academic Altar!" After the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked into the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
"Sigh ….." The Crown Prince and the Emperor of the Radiant Moon Kingdom looked at each other, and sighed softly, but did not say anything else, and quickly followed the youth into the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
At the same time, another Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple also walked out from behind the two statues, looked up slightly, and saw a black figure approaching from afar.
"The Great Xia Dynasty, His Majesty, Xian King, has arrived!"
"Greetings, Envoy!"
"Your Majesty, Xian King, the Pavilion Leader is waiting at the Heaven Academic Altar, please follow me."
"Alright, then please lead the way, Envoy." Emperor Lin Mubai nodded, looked at Xian King Lin Yun behind him, and led the way into the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
Xian King Lin Yun, on the other hand, looked behind him.
Feeling the cool air on the Sword Peak, and the occasional mountain breeze, he frowned slightly. However, he quickly recovered, and quickly followed behind Emperor Lin Mubai into the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
…..
Heaven Dao Pavilion, Heaven Academic Altar.
A crystal clear Black Stone Tablet stood proudly in the middle of a huge white stone altar, and countless densely packed golden characters shone on the Black Stone Tablet, emitting a faint glow.
Around the white stone altar, countless Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples stood quietly, either carrying a long sword on their back, or holding a scroll in their hands. None of them made a sound, and everyone's expression was cold and solemn.
And on the white stone altar, below the Black Stone Tablet, an old man in a white robe, barefooted, sat on a stone chair carved out of white jade.
Below the stone chair, four square tables carved out of white jade were placed side by side, and behind each square table were three chairs carved out of white jade.
Emperor Lin Mubai and Xian King Lin Yun were sitting at the leftmost square table, and the other three square tables were also occupied by two to three people.
"Pavilion Leader, the Emperors and princes of the Four Great Empires are all here, and the selection test has officially begun, but …" A Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple carefully walked to the stone chair below the Black Stone Tablet, and said softly.
"Is Guyan not back yet?"
"Yes …"
"It's okay, tomorrow is the day of the Heavenly Prophecy, I believe that Guyan will definitely be back by tomorrow." The old man shook his head, and signaled the disciple to leave.
"I will take my leave." Seeing the old man's gesture, the disciple immediately bowed and left.
At the same time, the old man stood up, barefooted, and his snow-white robe danced in the wind. He looked at the people at the four square tables, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Mu Qingfeng, my apologies for my poor hospitality."
"Pavilion Leader, you are too kind."
"I believe that the four of you know that the significance of this trip to the Heaven Dao Pavilion is different from the previous ones, so after the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test, please stay for a while longer."
"Pavilion Leader, are you referring to the arrival of the Heavenly Prophecy?"
"Yes."
"Even though the Chosen One, Chi Guyan, is from the Great Xia Dynasty, but the arrival of the Heavenly Prophecy is a major event in the world. It concerns the future stability of the four countries and five sects. How can we miss such a grand event?"
"Yes, it is indeed a major event that concerns the four countries and five sects …" Mu Qingfeng nodded, and then, he raised his head slightly, and looked towards the horizon.
…
When Fang Zhengzhi finished reading the book in his hands, and walked out of the small wooden hut, it was already an hour later.
It was already noon, and the sun was slightly scorching.
However, after the incident with the Sixth Prince of the Radiant Moon Empire, the people standing on the empty ground had obviously become much more obedient.
No one rashly stood up to question why "Fang Zhengzhi" went in for so long, and no one asked why he entered the small wooden hut.
They just stood there quietly, and waited, and waited …
"Senior Kong Qing!" The three young disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion saw Fang Zhengzhi walk out of the wooden hut, and immediately approached him, and greeted him respectfully.
"Yes." Fang Zhengzhi nodded, and casually waved his hand at the three young disciples. As a "senior", he naturally had to show the attitude of a senior.
Without saying much, his gaze slowly swept across the remaining 31 "geniuses". Very quickly, he also discovered Yan Xiu, who was dressed in luxurious black robes and had a cold expression on his face, standing amongst the crowd.
His heart moved, and he was prepared to let Yan Xiu pass.
However, when the words were at the tip of his tongue, he ultimately swallowed them back.
What was the most important thing between friends?
Of course, it was trust!
Fang Zhengzhi trusted Yan Xiu, and therefore, he did not think that Yan Xiu needed his help to pass the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test. Helping him at this time, would instead be a display of distrust.
Then …
What should he do?
If he was disguised as a young master of a noble family, Fang Zhengzhi would definitely choose to be low-key. However, now that he was disguised as a dignified senior, he could not possibly just serve as a free laborer, right? He had to at least do something that would shock the heavens and make the gods cry.
For example, eliminating everyone?
Leaving only Yan Xiu?
