"It's already impressive enough to be in a normal lecture hall, let alone the Yuexi Hall in Jingguo." A Scholar sighed.
"One has to be at least a Grand Scholar to be able to lecture in the Yuexi Hall. It's unprecedented for a High Scholar to lecture in the Yuexi Hall. Usually, it's a great honor for a High Scholar to be able to attend a lecture in the Yuexi Hall!"
"Ever since Fang Zhenguo appeared in Jingguo, there have been more and more strange things happening."
Fang Yun smiled helplessly and said, "You think too highly of me. Actually, a normal lecture hall is enough. There's no need to choose the largest Yuexi Hall."
"If you don't choose the largest lecture hall, do you want to use the smaller ones? Do you want others to squat on the walls and listen to your lectures?"
Fang Yun imagined the scene and laughed with everyone else.
Fang Yun looked out of the window and saw the crowd start to move out. There were fewer and fewer people in front of the Ling Yun Tower.
The manager of the restaurant came in to thank him and gave him a jar of good wine.
The students chatted and laughed in the Heaven Room. After eating and drinking, Fang Yun wrote the God's Will Military Tablet in front of everyone. Everyone praised him and some who were proficient in calligraphy even looked intoxicated. After the evaluation, they all asked Fang Yun for advice.
Someone asked Fang Yun what he got from the seven pavilions. Fang Yun just smiled and did not say anything.
During the meal, Ceng Yuan sent a letter to him.
"Fang Yun, on the Demon Realm's Grand Scholar Hunting List, you rose from 11th to 10th yesterday. Today, you rose to 9th. The Grand Scholar Hunting List only changes once every ten years. You, on the other hand, rose several times in a month. "
"As long as you don't reach the top of the Grand Scholar Hunting List, the Demon Realm will not attack you. If nothing goes wrong, you should be able to hold on for a while."
"The problem is, at this rate, the Demon Realm may activate the Lunar Tree Divine Punishment earlier. Fortunately, more than 30% of the Demon Realm's Sages are roaming the realms. There is only one Quasi-Sage left. If all the Demon Realm's Sages gather and activate the legendary Ten Thousand Saints Divine Punishment, no one will be able to save you. They may even destroy everything you left behind in the world. Your poems, essays, and even our memories of you may be erased. "
Fang Yun finished reading the letter. He could not help but frown. He continued to communicate with Ceng Yuan in the noisy Heavenly Room.
"I have already made a Great Oath of the Two Worlds with the Saints. If they use the Moon Tree Divine Punishment on me within three years of the oath, they will definitely suffer a backlash from the Great Oath of the Two Worlds and pay a heavy price. Although the price is bearable, it will be a huge blow to the Demon Race. They must be fully prepared. Why would they take such a huge risk? "
"I've received news from the Northern Sage Pavilion. The only quasi-sage of the demon race seemed to be preparing to leave the demon world. Once he left the demon world, the backlash of the Great Oath of Two Worlds would be very weak to him. Therefore, if you enter the Great Scholar Hunting List prematurely, that Monster Race Quasi Saint will join hands with the other Saints to carry out the Moon Tree Divine Punishment on you. He will use his Quasi Saint body to forcefully resist the backlash of the two worlds and then flee far away, which will be enough to reduce the price to the lowest. "
Fang Yun replied, "If that's the case, it's more likely that the demons will attack me in advance. I have no other choice but to pray for the help of the Saints. "
"This … Once the Moon Tree's Divine Punishment is activated … The Saints of the human race can probably only stop a portion of the power, and a portion of the power will definitely affect you. Even if it was only a ten-thousandth of its power, it was enough to turn you into ashes. You are now in a dilemma. If Wen Wei does not advance bravely, he will probably be killed by the rebels or the demons. If he advances too quickly, he will have to face the Moon Tree's Divine Punishment. Sigh … "
"I know about this too. Rather than being killed by the rebels or ordinary demons, it's better to die under the Moon Tree's Divine Punishment. Once the demon race activates the Moon Tree's Divine Punishment, coupled with the departure of a quasi-sage, the demon race's forces will definitely shrink, and the Two World Mountain and other places will be much more stable. At least ten years of peace for the human race will be enough for me to die. "
"There will be a way when the time comes. The Saints will definitely have a way. However, when it comes to the Divine Punishment of a world, you are already powerless to do anything. The only thing you can do is to continue studying. "
Fang Yun smiled and replied, "Then I will work harder and try to pass the Grand Scholar examination before I die. At least I can leave my name in history after I die. "
"Don't say such depressing things. By the way, I forgot to congratulate you on becoming the first disciple of the Lingyan Pavilion! What kind of incomplete Wen Xin did you get? "
"Let's not talk about this."
"Okay, this is a secret. Maybe it's a life-saving measure in the future, so it can't be revealed in advance. Are you prepared for the Ten Nations Grand Tournament? "
"I know a little, but I haven't prepared for it yet."
"The Grand Scholar examination will be held in September, and the Ten Nations Grand Tournament will be held in October. The ten Grand Scholars of the various academies will be eligible to participate. There are very few people like you and Yan Yukong who have entered the upper house when they were High Scholars, but many Holy Ground Scholars have passed through the Comet Corridor. This year, many High Scholars have entered the upper house. The rankings of the annual tournament determine the number of High Scholars and Grand Scholars of each country in the second year. Hence, the Ten Nations Grand Tournament is extremely important. "
"I know about these things. From tomorrow onwards, I will probably be preparing for the Ten Nations Grand Tournament. If the Dragon Platform doesn't open, I will concentrate on studying until the Grand Scholar examination."
"In this year's Ten Nations Grand Tournament, Jingguo's ranking will be higher with you around. Ji Zhibai is also an outstanding talent. If the two of you work together, it will be enough to revive Jingguo. However, I heard that Ji Zhibai is a disciple of the Left Minister, so you have to be careful. "
"After all, he is also from Jingguo. At least, nothing will happen to him during the Ten Nations Grand Tournament. You can rest assured about that."
After a long while, Fang Yun started chatting and joking with the others when he didn't receive a reply from Ceng Yuan. Soon, Ceng Yuan replied, "I told my family to inform me of all news about you as soon as possible. I just received a piece of news that has something to do with Ji Zhibai. I really didn't expect the Lei family to be involved. "
"What's wrong? Ji Zhibai is colluding with the Lei family? "
"You can say that he's colluding with them, but there's no evidence. Ji Zhibai has already sent a letter saying that he was besieged by the barbarians and fought to the death to kill the enemy. However, his courage has been damaged, so he has to leave the academy and give up his position. "
Fang Yun stared at the letter in shock.
Qiao Juze, who was at the side, realized that Fang Yun seemed to be having a good time. He asked softly, "Brother Fang, what's the matter?"
The room quietened down and everyone looked at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun slowly raised his head and said, "There might be a Jinshi who wants to withdraw from the academy. Who can verify it?"
The expressions of many students changed. The Ten Nations Grand Tournament was about to begin and that was not good news.
"I'll ask," Qiao Juze said.
Many students then used their connections to inquire.
Soon, a Jinshi exclaimed, "Ji Zhibai has withdrawn from the academy!"
"What? How can he withdraw!?! Without him, Jingguo will be worried about the Ten Nations Grand Tournament! "
"Why is Ji Zhibai withdrawing? How can Ji Zhibai withdraw!?! "
"Jingguo has already pinned its hopes on him and Fang Yun. How can he withdraw at the last minute!?!"
"Everyone, please calm down. I've already received accurate news that Ji Zhibai encountered a sneak attack by the barbarians when he went out. In the end, he tried his best to kill them all, but in order to save the rest of the soldiers, he didn't hesitate to use the power of his courage repeatedly, causing the palace to be damaged. He needs to recuperate for a long time. He can continue to govern Ning County, but he can't participate in the Ten Nations Literary Competition."
There was silence in the guest room, followed by sighs.
