The examination started on the first day of the twelfth month and ended on the fourth day of the twelfth month. It was exactly three days and three nights.
The rest of the High Scholar candidates had finished the first round of the Grand Scholar examination and left the examination hall. Only Fang Yun was still sleeping soundly.
The examiners in the academy did not wake Fang Yun up. They did not even mark the papers and continued to wait in front of the Divine Temple.
They were waiting for the scholars who would shock the saints.
Fang Yun did not wake up until the examination ended. It was close to evening.
Fang Yun opened his eyes in a daze. He felt exhausted. He wanted to laze in bed, but with the help of Wen Dan, he could not control his body and sat up instinctively.
Fang Yun sat on the edge of the bed with his head down. His mind was in a mess. He felt that something big had happened yesterday, but his mind was filled with fragments of memories.
After a while, Fang Yun was fully awake and recalled what had happened yesterday.
Fang Yun quickly looked at the desk. The poems, scriptures, and essays had been taken away.
Fang Yun quickly got up to check his body. He was severely injured yesterday, but apart from the soreness, there were no other injuries.
"The Divine Temple must have saved me …"
Fang Yun thought to himself. He took a deep breath and forced himself to stay awake. He quickly packed up everything and carried his bag.
As he walked out of the examination room, Fang Yun looked around.
The sky above the capital city was still bright. The winter sunset shone on him, making him feel exceptionally comfortable. Far away from the capital city, heavy clouds hung low. It was snowing heavily. He did not know if it was affected by yesterday's strange phenomenon.
Fang Yun looked up again. That was where the divine punishment had come yesterday. But today, there was nothing. It was as peaceful as usual.
"What happened after the Eight-Sided Sword of the Sage entered the Demon Realm? How will the Demon Realm treat me if the divine punishment fails? What will my ranking on the Great Confucian Hunting List be? I hope I won't enter the List of Saints. The List of Saints is not just a list of the human race. It is a list of the ten thousand worlds. It is not an ordinary ranking. There is a mystery behind it. Unfortunately, I do not know. "
Fang Yun thought to himself as he walked out. Now that he did not have the official seal in his hand, he did not know how long he had slept.
Walking out of the examination room area, Fang Yun came to the edge of the square and saw all the examiners looking at him.
"Greetings, Fang Xusheng!" Prime Minister Kang Ha-chuan was the first to bow, and the rest followed suit.
Fang Yun hastily clasped his hands in front of his chest and returned the greeting, saying, "Prime Minister Wen, you flatter your student. Could it be that my holy statue has already entered the Xusheng Garden? "
Kang Ha-chuan stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Although your statue hasn't been placed in Xusheng Garden, it's still there. However, the six secondary saints have awakened because you are Xusheng. In that case, you are Xusheng! "
The rest of the examiners nodded gently. Yesterday, Zhou Wen Wang had said, "Who hurt the human race's Xusheng?" This was the legendary "bestowment by the Holy Words". Only the secondary saints could oppose it, and all the Half-saint of the human race added together were not qualified to oppose it.
The secondary saints had personally bestowed the Holy Words. Not to mention that Fang Yun was Xusheng, even if Fang Yun was not famous, the secondary saints would still say that he was Xusheng. He was an Illusionary Divine dream master!
Only then did Fang Yun realize, so he said, "This is the love of the six secondary saints. I dare not accept it."
Those people originally wanted to persuade Fang Yun not to be modest, but after thinking carefully. "Being loved by the secondary saints" could not be considered modest. There had not been a secondary saint in the human race for hundreds of years. Even those Half-saint did not have the ability to say that he was loved by the secondary saints. Fang Yun's words had nothing to do with modesty.
Fang Yun saw that everyone's gazes were not right, but he did not know why. He hurriedly interrupted, "May I know what day it is today?"
"It's the fourth day of the new year. You just slept for an extra day and did not sleep for too long," an examiner kindly reminded him.
"Many thanks! Examiners, you have worked hard. I still have to go home, so I won't say anything more. "Fang Yun turned to leave after he finished speaking, but he was stopped by Kang Ha-chuan.
"Wen Ying became a Great Confucian not long ago. Today, he will be heading to the ancient land of Desolation City to guard and cultivate. Many scholars in Jingguo are sending him off. Old Man is unable to go, so you will send him off on behalf of the Old Man."
Fang Yun immediately said, "I will definitely convey Minister Wen's message on behalf of him. That's right, I would like to ask, when Sword Eyebrows Duke became a Great Confucian, how many layers of clouds, how many levels of pagoda, and how many stars did he obtain? "
Kang Ha-chuan looked around and said, "There's no harm in saying it. Three layers of clouds, three levels of pagoda, and five stars. "
Fang Yun was overjoyed and said, "Cloud Pagoda has more than three stars, and even more stars have broken through five. There's hope of becoming a Saint!"
Kang Ha-chuan said, "Cloud Pagoda Star having three stars is nothing, I also have three stars, but my stars are not as good as Wen Ying's. If there's hope of becoming a Saint, the Cloud Pagoda Star has to be at least five stars. That Yi Zhi Shi is the real hope of becoming a Saint, with six layers of clouds, five levels of pagoda, and five stars. "
"Then I will send Sword Eyebrows Duke off." Fang Yun turned to leave again, but he was stopped by Kang Ha-chuan again.
"Wait!" Kang Ha-chuan's tone was suddenly filled with coldness.
Fang Yun was slightly shocked and looked at Kang Ha-chuan seriously.
Kang Ha-chuan's expression was serious and said slowly, "Although you are Xusheng, you are still a Grand Scholar."
"I know, but I am not complacent." Fang Yun felt strange. Although his will was not as strong as a Saint's, he should not be looked down upon like this.
Unexpectedly, Kang Ha-chuan said, "Tomorrow at the Snow Plum Literary Conference, you have to think carefully! This year's plum blossoms are blooming, it is a good sign. "
Tang Shoude, the examiner at the side, suddenly said, "Brother He Chuan, the exam is not over yet and you are already talking nonsense. Be careful, I will report you to the Notre-Dame!"
"Rebel!" After Jiang Hechuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the grading room with his head held high.
Some of the examiners followed closely. Strangely, some of the examiners were Notre-Dame examiners, they should have a good relationship with Tang Shoude.
Tang Shoude also walked to the exam room with his chest out and head held high. The examiners who were not moving followed closely behind, there were actually many Jingguo officials among them.
The two Confucian scholars seemed to have suddenly turned hostile, but some of the officials behind them were smiling.
Fang Yun was stunned for a moment and could not help but laugh. This was an interesting story involving scholars, it had been going on for hundreds of years and had become more and more famous.
Fang Yun shook his head and walked out.
The examiners quickly walked into the exam room.
Kang Ha-chuan and Tang Shoude seemed to be at odds, but in front of the exam room, they turned hostility into friendship. They smiled and gestured for the examiners to enter together.
The moment they entered the exam room, all the examiners' eyes lit up and they quickly scanned the room. Finally, their eyes fell on a place where the aura of talent was so strong that even the Temple could not suppress it.
The other examiners' exam papers were pulled up to a hundred in one cart, but Fang Yun's exam paper alone took up to three ox-carts!
Different from the Tong Sheng Examination, the Elementary Examination, and the High Scholar Examination, the first round of the Jinshi Examination had to go through two rounds of grading. The examiners present would grade once, and the three Half-saint examiners would pick the most outstanding ones to grade personally. This was the Half-saint evaluation.
But no matter what, the three Half-saint examiners had to make their choice at the beginning. This time, Jingguo was accepting two hundred Jinshi and one hundred Jinshi. The Half-saint would pick out six hundred exam papers and let the examiners in the exam room rank them. The top three hundred exam papers would be selected.
However, the examiners present had completely forgotten about the three Half-saints. They walked quickly to the place where the aura of talent was concentrated. Their eyes were bright and their faces were slightly red.
There were three exam papers that were emitting a faint light. Floating Astronomy.
