As soon as the inscriptions appeared, everyone already guessed that the results were out.
After Feng Yuan confirmed it, the hundreds of thousands of people below immediately became excited. After enduring for a hundred years, they were finally going to see the results!
Those who had no power, no background, and risked their lives to fight were even more excited and nervous. They had finally come back alive. Whether they could make it out of this depended on the results this time.
Meanwhile, Zhan Ruyi and the other nobles heaved a heavy sigh of relief. Now that the results were announced, it meant that Gao Guan did not intend to investigate the fraud any further. At least, he did not intend to pursue it for now. They had passed this hurdle. Otherwise, those thousand or so heads would be too terrifying.
The crowd in the basin below was in chaos. They hurriedly squeezed in front of the inscriptions. Many people flew up to check, and the crowd quickly surrounded the hundred or so inscriptions.
Standing on the cliff, Feng Yuan quietly watched the crowd below. It was intentional to stir up everyone's emotions so that they could influence the people in the future.
However, when he thought about how many people had the same results in this assessment, and how Gao Guan had urged them to change the rankings, Feng Yuan sighed in his heart. In the end, there was no absolute fairness in this world!
"Brother Niu, hurry, hurry. Let's go see the results."
Xiahou Longcheng jumped up and urged Miao Yi anxiously. Miao Yi slowly stood up and looked at the crowd. He smiled faintly and said, "The results are out. It's not like I can run away. There's no need to go and squeeze. It's the same if we look at it later."
'Look at it later?' Xiahou Longcheng scratched his head and was a little anxious. He walked around and looked back several times.
Fan Yufei and the others were also looking forward to seeing the results. How could they not be concerned when it came to their own futures? None of them expected Miao Yi, who could slaughter his way through an army of a million soldiers in a fit of rage, to be so calm.
"I'm in the top eight hundred. I'm in the top eight hundred! I'm in the top eight hundred! "
Someone rushed out of the crowd and excitedly waved his fists and shouted. From time to time, he would beat his chest with his fists, making loud thumping sounds. He was so excited that his face was glowing. Looking at the way he looked as if he wanted everyone in the world to know, it was obvious that this person was not the son of some influential family. A person who was used to such situations would not act like this. He should be the kind of person who suddenly changed his fate.
As soon as this person appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of many people. Many people revealed looks of envy towards him. Entering the top eight hundred meant that he would soon become the Great Commander of the Heavenly Street. It should be known that it was not easy for many of the rich and powerful to reach this position. From then on, he would be able to enjoy all the glory and splendor!
"Who entered the top 800?" Xiahou Longcheng suddenly turned around and locked onto his target. His eyes widened as he stared at that person. His eyes grew rounder and rounder, filled with envy and jealousy. He slowly rolled up his sleeves as if he was about to fight.
Miao Yi also looked at that person's craziness and remembered himself. If he had not offered up his share of the Morality Grocery Store, Kou Wenlan would not have helped him obtain the position of Heavenly Street's Great Commander. Later on, if he had not obtained first place in the examination and received the Celestial Emperor's conferment, it would have been even more impossible for him to become the Great Commander of Heavenly Street. Otherwise, Madam Biyue would not have been able to bear the pressure to help him get the position. Of course, he knew what the position of Heavenly Street's Great Commander meant to ordinary people. For most people, it was a position that could only be obtained by chance!
"Brother Niu, wait here. I'll help you take a look. Let's go!"
It was too lively over there. In addition, every once in a while, someone would run out to report the good news. It was too exciting. In the end, Xiahou Longcheng could not wait any longer. He said something to Miao Yi, then waved his hand and beckoned Fan Yufei and the others to rush into the crowd. Soon, they could hear him shouting, "Don't block my way, get out of my way … Who? Who do you think it is? Who dares to scold your Grandpa Xiahou? Get out of my way … Which tablet has the first name on it? The one in the middle? Don't block the way, get out of my way! "
Miao Yi couldn't help but laugh as he watched Xiahou Longcheng rush in with his men. The others could not even squeeze in, but that guy easily pushed his way in with his fists and legs. This black bear had a strong background. He was indeed the most suitable for this kind of thing.
Zhan Ruyi, the 'neighbor' next door, had been paying close attention to Miao Yi's movements. Miao Yi seemed very calm, so she could not lose her composure. After seeing the reactions of the people who reported the good news, she could not hold back anymore. She turned around and signaled the people beside her to go and check. She then tilted her head to look at Miao Yi, and continued to stand in place.
Sometimes, one had to admit that although the children of influential families had more advantages, once the influence of their halos was removed and the competition was relatively fair, it would be easier for ordinary people to stand out and fight for their lives. In terms of the ratio of the number of people, the latter would definitely win.
If there was a way out, people would not fight for their lives. This was an iron law, because it was not worth it! Those who had no way out, those who risked their lives for the sake of their future, had to stand out when others gave them the opportunity. It was not because they were stronger than those with powerful backgrounds!
This conclusion was confirmed by the assessment this time. In the top ten, there were only two people with powerful backgrounds. The rest were all ordinary cultivators without any background.
Xiahou Longcheng squeezed his way to the center of the stone tablet and looked down from first place. When he saw Zhan Ruyi in second place, he was stunned.
"Brother Xiahou, look. You're in the top ten!" Luo Qingzi suddenly reminded him.
"Where? Where?" Xiahou Longcheng was instantly excited. He was so excited that his eyes looked around, but he could not see where his name was.
Man Shan pointed and said, "Here, you and Brother Niu are tied for ninth place!"
Xiahou Longcheng immediately locked his gaze on the specific ranking. His eyes widened. He saw that there were indeed two names in ninth place. They were Xiahou Longcheng and Niu Youde!
"Ow!" Xiahou Longcheng clapped his hands and roared loudly. Then, he patted the shoulder of a stranger nearby. "Friend, I'm ninth place. What's yours?"
"Uh …" That person was stunned. He knew Xiahou Longcheng, but Xiahou Longcheng didn't know him. He didn't expect Xiahou Longcheng to take the initiative to talk to him like a brother. After he reacted, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "I haven't found my ranking yet. Congratulations!"
"Haha!" Xiahou Longcheng patted his slightly protruding belly, turned around, and smiled at Fan Yufei and the others who were looking around. "You guys take your time. I'll go back and tell Brother Niu the good news first." After saying that, he squeezed his way back. Seeing the crowd blocking his way, he was surprisingly good-tempered this time. He smiled and cupped his hands at the crowd. "Everyone, please make way!"
Watching him disappear into the crowd, Fan Yufei and the others quickly locked their eyes on the stone tablet in front of them. It seemed that they could not see their names no matter how hard they looked. They couldn't help but look at each other in confusion. They found it strange. Everyone had the same results. Why was Xiahou Longcheng and Niu Youde tied for ninth place, but they were not? It didn't make sense! Did the Xiahou Family use their connections to do something? But it didn't make sense. In terms of relationship, they were from the Xiahou Family. There was no reason for Niu Youde to be in front of us …
The most troublesome thing now was that Xiahou Longcheng left them and ran away. Without Xiahou Longcheng opening the way, it would be difficult for the five of them to squeeze in front of the other stone tablets to see the rankings.
Xiahou Longcheng had already squeezed out of the crowd. He walked back with his hands behind his back proudly. His steps were light, and his face was full of smiles.
Zhan Ruyi, who was waiting for the news, couldn't help but look gloomy. Needless to say, Xiahou Longcheng must have gotten a good ranking. Otherwise, how could he be so smug?
"Beauty Zhan, I saw your result. It's not bad. You almost got first or second place in the overall ranking!"
Xiahou Longcheng smiled at Zhan Ruyi from afar and said happily.
Zhan Ruyi didn't know if this guy was telling the truth or not. He couldn't help but ask, "What place did you get?"
"I'm ashamed! I barely got ninth place! "Xiahou Longcheng laughed and passed by her.
Zhan Ruyi suddenly turned back to look at him. He seriously suspected that this black bear was playing with him. Otherwise, why did he look happier getting ninth place than second place?
Seeing Xiahou Longcheng's expression, Miao Yi knew that his result was not bad. As expected, Xiahou Longcheng walked over and cupped his hands, laughing wildly. "Brother Niu, let's celebrate together. The two of us are tied for ninth place. Among the top ten, we're the only ones who are tied. The others are all single. They're not as lucky as us being in a pair!"
He was really happy. He didn't get any support from his family for the assessment this time, and there was Gao Guan, that cold judge, overseeing the decapitation. He got ninth place with his own ability. The people in his family couldn't say anything about it. The position of Heaven's Avenue's Great Commander should be a sure thing. Even without the support of his family, he could still get the position of Heaven's Avenue's Great Commander. How glorious would it be when he returned!
'Who the hell wants to be a pair with you!' Miao Yi cursed in his heart. 'Bastard, don't you think it's too obvious that we're tied together? Aren't you afraid that Gao Guan will find out about it when he sees that our results are exactly the same? '
There was no point talking about this now. Miao Yi casually asked, "Who's in first place?"
Xiahou Longcheng scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Wang Dingchao! Yes, that's the name. It's very unfamiliar. I've never heard of it. I don't have any impression of it at all. It doesn't seem like he's from any family. I don't know where he came from either. He's in the limelight this time. It's even more glorious than when you got first place in the Lifeless Lands! "
"Wang Dingchao!" Miao Yi muttered. He thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly. He'd never heard of it before.
Now that the results were confirmed, he was at ease. About two hours later, Zhan Ruyi's people came back to report the good news. It was confirmed that Zhan Ruyi was in second place. His followers were all in the top thousand. In other words, he was now the Quasi-Heaven's Avenue's Great Commander!
Zhan Ruyi couldn't help but look back at Xiahou Longcheng in delight. He felt a little strange. 'How could that bear be so kind?'
Seeing Zhan Ruyi's people congratulating each other, Miao Yi suddenly thought of something. He turned back and asked Xiahou Longcheng, "Where's Fan Yufei and the others? Why aren't their results tied with ours? "
"Uh …" Xiahou Longcheng was taken aback. He also reacted and said unnaturally, "I'm a little confused too."
Seeing his reaction, Miao Yi was suspicious.
