The Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test was famous for its strictness. However, no matter how strict it was, it was impossible to defeat all the carefully selected geniuses from the four nations, right?
This was only the first round …..
In other words, this was not even considered a "round".
In the previous Heaven Dao Pavilion Selection Examinations, the first round was just to lower the morale of the contestants, ask a few general questions, and screen out some "troublemakers", and that was enough.
The highest number of people eliminated was three people in one go.
However, this time, in this not even considered a round, there was a miracle that happened once in a thousand years. 14 people were eliminated in one go.
And it seemed like it would not stop.
Third Elder and Fifth Elder looked at the remaining 17 contestants, and then looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was enjoying the waves of praises, with mixed feelings.
When they came down from the Heaven Dao Pavilion, they were already mentally prepared for an accident. However, they did not expect it to be so unexpected!
The eliminated people were all so excited …..
What was going on?
Grateful? Grateful that you eliminated me?
No matter how they thought about it, it was hard to believe. If they did not see it with their own eyes, Third Elder and Fifth Elder felt that no one in the Heaven Dao Pavilion would believe it.
However, this was the truth.
Most importantly, the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder felt as though they were hallucinating when they saw the excited expressions on the faces of the remaining 17 candidates.
If they were to forcefully stop "Kong Qing" from taking the test, they would be scolded by others for bullying the weak, or forcefully stealing the credit?
What should they do?
Could it be that they really allowed "Kong Qing" to continue?
Third Elder and Fifth Elder were in a dilemma. They were the ones who said that "Kong Qing" should continue the test, but they did not expect this to be the result.
Advice?
They really wanted to give some advice to "Kong Qing", but the problem was, "Kong Qing" had many ideas that even they could not refute. In fact, they even felt "enlightened".
This was awkward.
They wanted to stop it, but they could not find a reason to do so. However, if they did not stop it, and the test continued, there would not be more than three people left.
One had to know that there were still emperors and princes from the four nations in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, and they were all patiently waiting for the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test.
But if …
Only three went up in the end?
Where would the dignity of the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the four Majesties be?
The Third Elder and the Fifth Elder had a headache because the little lamb in their eyes didn't seem to be at their mercy like they had imagined. In fact, they felt that they were about to lose control of themselves.
"No, we can't go on like this!" The Third Elder clenched his fists and a light flashed in his eyes.
Just as he was about to throw away his pride and take some appropriate measures, a voice rang in his ears.
"Very good, very well said! From now on, you are a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion! "
"Disciple?!" Third Elder's eyes widened. He had heard Fang Zhengzhi's words clearly. However, he did not understand where this "disciple" came from.
Boom!
The Third Elder wasn't the only one who couldn't react in time. The contestants who were waiting to hear the word "eliminated" were also shaken to the point that they couldn't stand steadily and almost fell to the ground.
"Another one passed?!"
"Wait a minute, it doesn't seem like he passed, but became a disciple directly?!"
"Could it be that this round is the final test? That's not right, why did Nangong Mu become a disciple, but Qian Wu is still waiting to enter the next round?! "
No one understood what was going on.
Even Nangong Mu, who had just answered the question, stood rooted to the ground. He stared at Fang Zhengzhi, who was standing in front of him with a face full of excitement, unable to react.
"Disciple? Am I considered a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion? " Nangong Mu stared blankly at Fang Zhengzhi, as he searched through his memories, "Isn't there supposed to be three rounds in the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test?"
"Senior Kong Qing, this is only the first round!" The three Heaven Dao disciples who had been standing behind Fang Zhengzhi cautiously reminded him after seeing the darkened faces of the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder.
"The first round? Oh … that's right, I'm just like that. Whenever I see a good seedling, I can't help but get excited. Nangong Mu, don't worry, I feel that with your potential, passing the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test won't be a problem. Believe me, the elders of the Heaven Dao Pavilion have eyes as clear as a mirror, they're definitely not blind! "Fang Zhengzhi seemed to have reacted after hearing the three Heaven Dao disciples' reminder.
"Eyes as clear as a mirror?"
"Definitely not blind?"
The Third Elder and the Fifth Elder looked at each other and smiled bitterly. With their intelligence, how could they not understand the meaning behind Fang Zhengzhi's words.
It was very obvious …
As the "elders" mentioned by Fang Zhengzhi, if they did not let Nangong Mu pass, they would naturally become muddle-headed and incompetent blind men!
"This kid is interesting!" The Fifth Elder's slightly chubby face twitched a little. Then, he nodded lightly at the Third Elder.
"Cough, cough!" The Third Elder coughed hard.
But it seemed like …
There wasn't any use!
This was because Fang Zhengzhi acted as if he did not hear the coughing sounds, and immediately pointed at the cold-looking Yan Xiu who was standing in the crowd.
"You're Yan Xiu, right?"
"Yes." Yan Xiu nodded, then walked out from the crowd and bowed to Fang Zhengzhi, "Yan Xiu of the Great Xia Dynasty, Western Liang, please set the question."
"There's no need to set the question, I've heard of you. You're an upright person, and you have a lot of battle experience. Furthermore, you've mastered the Dao of Asura of the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques at such a young age. You're truly a rare talent, the Heaven Dao Pavilion welcomes a talent like you to join us!" Fang Zhengzhi waved his hand casually, then turned to the awkward Third Elder behind him, "Third Elder, Fifth Elder, do you think I'm right?"
"Cough!" The Third Elder obviously did not expect Fang Zhengzhi to pass the test so quickly, and after being stunned for a moment, he coughed again, "Yes, you're right!"
"Alright, Yan Xiu, you've passed, prepare to enter the next round!" Fang Zhengzhi immediately nodded his head, and waved his hand at Yan Xiu. Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked, "Third Elder, is there something you need?"
"Yes, I suddenly remembered that there's something I need to settle in the Heaven Dao Pavilion. I see that you've been taking the test for so long, you must be tired. Why don't you come with me, and leave the first round of the test to the few of them." The Third Elder said as he pointed at the three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples.
"We'll follow the Third Elder's orders, and will definitely do our best in the first round of the test. Rest assured, Third Elder, Fifth Elder and Senior Kong Qing!" The three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples were stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up.
As the geniuses who were able to enter the Heaven Dao Pavilion, how could they not understand the meaning behind the Third Elder's words. Without waiting for Fang Zhengzhi to nod, they immediately replied.
"Senior Kong Qing is leaving?!"
"This … I still want to listen to Senior Kong Qing's guidance!"
"That's such a pity."
The contestants who were waiting to be called by Fang Zhengzhi, upon hearing that Fang Zhengzhi was leaving, were evidently disappointed. However, this was the Heaven Dao Pavilion, and naturally, they did not dare to openly protest that only Senior Kong Qing would take the test.
After all, that was no different from courting death.
"Kong Qing, follow me up!" The Third Elder looked at the disappointed faces of the contestants, and his lips curled into a bitter smile. He had no intention of staying any longer, and immediately called out to Fang Zhengzhi.
"Go to the Heaven Dao Pavilion?" Fang Zhengzhi was slightly hesitant.
He did have the intention to go to the Heaven Dao Pavilion, but he did not expect to do so in such a manner. Furthermore, wouldn't the normal scenario be to anger Third Elder and Fifth Elder?
Fang Zhengzhi felt that he had really tried his best to provoke them.
Not only did he eliminate four or five of them in one go, he even mercilessly threw the face of Third Elder and Fifth Elder.
How could he not be angry?
What happened to confinement and reflection on the wall that we agreed on? Where was the promised flogging, whipping, and then chasing them out of the Heaven Dao Pavilion? Were all sages so good-tempered?
Then why was the Heavenly Oasis Saint's temper so bad?
Fang Zhengzhi felt that there was definitely a problem here, but he had no way of knowing what the problem was. So, should he go to the Heaven Dao Pavilion or not?
"Forget it, I have to go to the Heaven Dao Pavilion no matter what!" After hesitating for a moment, Fang Zhengzhi made up his mind. After thinking through this point, he could not help but praise himself for being quick-witted.
Fortunately, he was decisive, and before the Third Elder could stop him, he cut the Gordian knot, and let Nangong Mu and Yan Xiu off.
This way, at least Nangong Mu and Yan Xiu had passed the first round.
Just as Fang Zhengzhi was thinking about why …
"Roar!" Two loud beastly roars came from the sky, interrupting Fang Zhengzhi's thoughts. Following that, two gigantic beasts with bodies as black as ink flew down from the sky.
A strong gust of wind blew, and in an instant, the two beasts landed on the ground.
"Farewell Third Elder, Fifth Elder, and Senior Kong Qing!" When the three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw the two gigantic beasts descending from the sky, they greeted respectfully in unison.
"Mm." The Third Elder and the Fifth Elder nodded. Then, they leapt up and landed on the backs of their respective beasts as light as a feather like snow-white cotton.
Only Fang Zhengzhi was left standing in his original spot …
"Senior Kong Qing, where's your Green Flame Beast? Quick, summon it down! "The three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples looked at the stunned Fang Zhengzhi and reminded him again.
