One day this summer, Tang Thirty Six broke the hand of the teacher of Li Palace College. The second day, he severely wounded the master of the Tian Hai Family with one strike. Then, he won two more matches. The third day, he won two matches in a row. The fourth day, he won one match easily. The fifth day, he won four matches in a row. So far, he represented the Tradition Academy in twelve matches without losing a single match.
The area in front of the Orthodox Academy had become a sea of flowers. For the first time, the Hundred Flowers Lane lived up to its name. Even more joyous were the hawkers selling flowers in the lane and the Four Great Markets in the pergolas. No matter how the odds changed, no matter how the contents of the bets were adjusted, as long as people paid more and more attention, the merchants would always be able to obtain the greatest profit.
People were discussing how long Tang Thirty Six's winning streak could last. At the same time, they confirmed that the young master of the Family of Wen Shui, who had been known as a genius since he was a child, was just like what Elder Tianji said when the Proclamation of Azure Cloud changed last year. As long as one cultivated diligently, one's strength could easily increase by leaps and bounds. Some people were already wondering how far the seventeen year old Tang Thirty Six would go if the Proclamation of Golden Distinction changed this year.
Just like a few days ago, Tang Thirty Six stood in the sea of flower petals. His expression was calm as if he wasn't moved by the beautiful scene and the shouts of the girls on the street. However, he was thinking about something else — — the weather was a bit hot recently. The flowers that the flower vendors brought from Green Hill County were too luxuriant. Standing in the sea of flowers, he felt like he was standing in a pile of fat and tender pork belly.
"You really are amazing." A cold voice suddenly came from the crowd, "I'm very curious, if the Proclamation of Golden Distinction changed now, where would you rank?"
With this voice, a man dressed in black, his entire body suffused with a cold aura, slowly walked to the gate of the Orthodox Academy.
This was a question that many people in the capital were curious about, but no one was more suitable and more powerful than this man. Because this man in black was one of the experts on the Proclamation of Golden Distinction. He was ranked twenty-seventh and was at the initial level of Star Condensation. His surname was Mu and his name was Boss, so he was called Mu Laoban. In reality, he really was a boss in the business of selling tombs.
Mu Laoban grew up in the southern Youling Mountains. The method he cultivated leaned towards the sinister fire of the earth. His fighting methods were strange and unpredictable. Even experts of the same level would find it hard to defeat him in a one on one battle. He was a guest of the Family of Tian Hai. Just like Zhou Ziheng, he was also a teacher of the Temple Seminary. Therefore, he had the right to challenge the Tradition Academy.
With Mu Laoban's appearance, the temperature in front of the Orthodox Academy's gate instantly dropped, a chill appearing in the midsummer sky.
The crowd subconsciously moved out of the way, and the shouts of the young girls turned into worried whispers.
The people who came to challenge the Tradition Academy today all handed in their letters of challenge last night. Tang Thirty Six was not surprised by the appearance of these people, and he had already made ample preparations. He knew he was not Mu. He wasn's Mu Laoban's opponent., so he was. he. Laoban, and Six.
He didn't want to fight., so he Hai said. he was.
"The Tianhai clan will give you three thousand taels of silver and a bag of crystal every year. Right now, I don't have any extra crystal on hand, only thirty thousand taels of silver notes."
Tang, a, a, a, of Six of Tang of Tian, the Wang, Mu, Tang Six, Wang, a, Chen, Long, Wang, the Wang, Liu, Chen, Liu, Zhou, Is., is, Mu, Yang Is. He really is.. . He really is a greedy man. Tang Thirty-Six smiled at the struggling expression on Mu Laoban's face.
Then, he remembered how he had used a roast chicken to deal with Zhexiu in the Grand Examination. He felt that he really was a genius in business.
Seeing this, the people of the capital were dumbfounded. How could it be like this?
What Tang Thirty-Six regretted, but what made the people of the capital happy, was that Mu Laoban was able to resist the temptation of money.
"I really do like money, but there are many things in this world that are more important than money." Mu Laoban regretfully said to Tang Thirty-Six, "You understand."
Tang Thirty-Six understood. To Mu Laoban, a vile person, things more important than money were not things like justice or promises. It could only be that the Family of Tian Hai had something on him, or even more money.
Mu Laoban took a short black spear from his disciple and walked to the edge of the sea of flowers.
This spear was probably forged from refined iron, but for some reason, it was especially short. Presumably, the spear technique used in battle was extremely treacherous, but the most treacherous part was the terrifying poison on the tip of the spear.
"Is this also okay?" Tang Thirty-Six called out to the tea house across the street.
The priests of the Li Palace were responsible for the safety of the Orthodox Academy, but the person truly qualified to confirm the fairness of the All-School Martial Exhibition … was in that tea house.
Only an extremely small number of people in the capital knew that in the past few days, Archbishop Mao Qiuyu of the Hall of Illustrious Persons and First Hall Master Daoist Siyuan of the Hall of Subjugation would sometimes sit in that tea house and drink tea.
There was no sound from the tea house, which meant that Daoist Siyuan and Mao Qiuyu did not believe that the spear soaked in poison was against the rules.
Mu Laoban looked at Tang Thirty-Six and smiled. Between his scarlet lips, his dense white teeth seemed like the bones of an animal in the depths of ice and snow. His voice was similarly cold and threatening. "Please."
"Please my ass," Tang Thirty-Six said.
Mu Laoban's expression subtly changed, the sinister chill in his eyes growing even stronger. "Could it be … the Orthodox Academy wants to concede?"
"Idiot, I'm not the only one in the Orthodox Academy."
Tang Thirty-Six sheathed his sword without hesitation, turned around and walked towards the gate, yelling, "Hurry up and come out. Since this guy isn't willing to take the money, I can't do anything about it."
The gate of the Orthodox Academy was pushed open and Chen Chang Sheng walked out. When he passed by Tang Thirty-Six, he couldn't help but complain.
"Back then, you said you could solve this problem, but this is how you solved it?"
"What did I do wrong? Drown … soldiers come with arms, water comes with earth, drown. Even thirty thousand taels of silver can't drown that greedy bastard, and I can't beat him, so of course you have to go. "
Chen Chang Sheng stopped and said somewhat helplessly, "Can I not?"
Tang Thirty-Six shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Don't forget what we've discussed."
Chen Chang Sheng nodded.
In these past few days, it seemed like Tang Thirty-Six was fighting alone, but in reality, every night, they would gather in the library to discuss their opponents for the next day. Even the heavily injured Zhexiu would occasionally give a few extremely incisive suggestions. Coupled with the constant stream of intelligence sent over by the Wenshui Tangs and the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education, they were able to obtain twelve consecutive victories that shook the capital.
But there would always be an opponent that he and Tang Thirty-Six couldn't defeat. What should they do then?
They set a rule, no matter who won or lost, they could not receive any unrecoverable injuries, such as the Sea of Consciousness or the Ethereal Palace, or losing an arm. As for other situations, they didn't need to worry too much. The Li Palace had sent two cardinals who were highly skilled in the Holy Light Technique to guard the Orthodox Academy, so it didn't matter how they got injured.
Seeing Chen Chang Sheng appear on the stone steps, the crowd that had just quieted down for a moment, suddenly burst into an even louder cheer than before.
Tang Thirty-Six, who was just about to enter the Orthodox Academy to rest, heard the cheers behind him and couldn't help but angrily grumble.
The twelve consecutive victories of the Orthodox Academy had allowed Tang Thirty-Six to blossom with unprecedented brilliance, so much so that the people of the capital had somewhat forgotten Chen Chang Sheng's existence. Only now did they remember that he was the true Principal of the Orthodox Academy, that he was the key figure, or perhaps the spiritual figure, in the revival of the Orthodox Academy. Moreover, everyone knew that he was the strongest expert of the Orthodox Academy, someone who had once surpassed cultivation levels to defeat the Star Condensation cultivator Zhou Ziheng …
Mu Laoban's face turned even gloomier as he stared at Chen Chang Sheng on the stone steps. "Should I feel honored, or should I feel sorry for Principal Chen?"
Chen Chang Sheng did not answer him. Holding his sword horizontally in front of him, he said, "Please."
Mu Laoban's expression turned solemn as he slowly raised the black spear in his hand, about two feet long.

(I haven't been following many books in the past year. It's nothing more than Romance of the Tang Dynasty, Vulgar People, Back to Cats, and Korean entertainment. These books are gradually ending. After Back to Cats, it's Sheng Tang, and Yu Zui is even earlier. Fortunately, when old books come to an end, there will naturally be new ones. I will always continue to trust authors that I trust, such as Fu Tian.
A few days ago, before the end of Grand Tang, Fu Tian had already begun to write a new book. Without the slightest hesitation, he published both. This makes me feel inconceivable. Just how did this girl cultivate such a valiant execution ability? How did she maintain her love for writing after all these years? Yes, you should be able to see, but you really are mistaken. This is not an advertisement, but a very serious sharing. Fu Tian's new book is called A Handbook for Making a Living in the Ming Dynasty. It really is very good. If you don't believe me, you can go take a look …)
