"It can't be helped."
Jiang Yuanming glanced at the prepared banquet and smiled bitterly. "The Huangcheng Academy has too many things to do. The Elite Selection can only be put aside for now. How can we compare to Principal Fan? The Elite Selection has been held for almost two hundred years, and you can still stay here!"
"Haha."
Fan Yongru smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, you think too much. I got the news about the end of the long examination and the beginning of the Battle of Dragons and Tigers a month ago. That's why I came here in a hurry and invited you to watch the Battle of Dragons and Tigers with me!"
"Elite Selection, my ass!"
Although Jiang Yuanming nodded and sat down, he still looked up and scolded in a low voice. "Xiao Hua is the best in the basic examination. No one can touch him!"
"Don't worry."
Fan Yongru poured a cup of wine and gave it to Jiang Yuanming. She smiled mysteriously. "I got the news that Xiao Hua will be pulled down in a few days …"
Jiang Yuanming was shocked. He looked up at the Mountain River Imperial Jade Seal again and asked curiously, "Who?"
"Principal Jiang, let's drink first."
Fan Yongru raised her cup with a smile and said, "Let me explain in detail."
"Please."
Jiang Yuanming raised his cup helplessly and drank with Fan Yongru. Then, he looked at the screen and sneered. "To be honest, Principal Fan, after I returned to the academy, I analyzed it carefully. I feel that before the third Elite Selection, no one will be able to surpass Xiao Hua!"
"Oh?"
Of course, Fan Yongru had analyzed it with the academy disciples for a long time. How could she not know the details? But she still raised her eyebrows. She poured wine for Jiang Yuanming and asked curiously, "What do you mean, Principal Jiang?"
"Let's not talk about anything else."
Jiang Yuanming pointed at the screen and said, "Take Jing Yi from the Huangcheng Academy as an example. He's good at writing imperial edicts. According to the standards of the previous years, even if he doesn't score 300, he should at least score 310. However, he only scored 16 in the basic examination. How can he surpass 361?"
"Furthermore, to be honest with you, Headmaster Fan, our Huang City Academy has already received news from Red City, White City, and other academies. In this Heroic Selection Exam, the person who came in second place is Qing Xue from White Jade Capital. Her academic credits are as high as thirty-seven, far surpassing our Huang City Academy's twenty-one. However, even so, her academic credits are still three hundred and twenty-four behind Xiao Hua!"
"Judging from the results of the past long-term examinations, even the students who were listed on the Imperial Roll only got 320 points!"
"Haha ~"
Fan Yongru clapped her hands and laughed, "Mr. Jiang is right, it's Qing Xue. I have received news from White Jade Jing that her Imperial Edict Art has the ability to reach the top of the Imperial Edict Board. As long as the Imperial Edict Trial is over and the results are out, she will immediately pull Xiao Hua down! "
"Impossible!"
Jiang Yuanming waved his hand disdainfully and said, "Although Xiao Hua's results are not out yet, no matter where he is in the trial, won't he be able to get the Outstanding Talent Award again? Furthermore, Qing Xue is in White Jade Capital's White Forbidden Area. Their ranking is different from our Huang City's. Even if she temporarily pulls Xiao Hua down, we won't be able to see it! "
"That might not be the case."
Fan Yongru smiled mysteriously and said.
"Ga ga ga ~"
Just as Fan Yongru's voice fell, several phoenix cries sounded from the Five Phoenix Pavilion.
Jiang Yuanming looked over in surprise and saw five phoenixes flying out from the pavilion. Colorful clouds spread out as the phoenixes spread their wings. In the clouds, a list of the top hundred flashed with dazzling starlight!
Jiang Yuanming rubbed his eyes and exclaimed in disbelief, "This … this is the ranking of the entire Heavenly Court's Heroic Selection?"
"Haha, that's right!"
Fan Yongru smiled and said, "I received news before the New Year that because of Xiao Hua's perfect credits, the Five Great Emperors of the Heavenly Court gathered together. In order to prevent cheating, the Literature Palace of the Five Cities jointly decided to compile the top 100 rankings of the five forbidden areas of the Heroic Selection and call it the Heavenly Court's Heroic Selection. It will be sent to all the Five Phoenix Pavilions and announced. All the Immortals of the Heavenly Court are invited to supervise it!"
"This …"
Jiang Yuanming did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Isn't this making Xiao Hua famous? What are the Immortal Officials of the Literature Palace thinking? "
"Also ~"
Fan Yongru pointed at the list and said, "I have already ordered my disciples to observe for a long time. Until today, the Long Exam has been held for more than 170 years, but the two forbidden areas have not started the Heroic Selection. What does this mean?"
Jiang Yuanming sat down and frowned. "I know this. Our Huang City's Black Ring Kunhuan Forbidden Area and White Jade Capital's White Jade Forbidden Area have not started the Heroic Selection yet."
"Let's be frank ~"
Fan Yongru smiled and said, "The White Jade Forbidden Area is waiting for Qing Xue. She is drawing the imperial edict. It is said that the Heavenly Court's Hong Fan Silk …"
"What?"
Jiang Yuanming exclaimed, "Heavenly Court's Hong Fan? This … this Jade Clear Human Immortal named Qing Xue can draw Heavenly Court's Hong Fan? "
"Yes ~"
Fan Yongru nodded and said, "Principal Jiang, you should know that Heavenly Court's Hong Fan cannot be made by a Prime Clear Earth Immortal. Also, it takes time to make Heavenly Court's Hong Fan!"
"Good!"
Jiang Yuanming clapped his hands and raised his cup. "Since Qing Xue can make Heavenly Court's Hong Fan, then it is normal for her to get 360 credits. Of course, she cannot really pull Xiao Hua down, but for the next few days, it is enough for us to drink to our hearts' content. Come, please ~ "
"Please ~"
Fan Yongru smiled and raised her cup. After the two drank, Fan Yongru smiled mysteriously and asked, "Principal Jiang, you should know that our Huang City's Heroic Selection has not started because the Ochre Spirit Palace's Elixir Making Exam has not even produced a single result, right?"
"Of course ~"
Jiang Yuanming nodded and said, "Our Huang City Academy has more than a thousand disciples, but none of them have produced a result. I am curious. Maybe something happened to the Ochre Spirit Palace. Although these disciples are not very promising, but after all, they … "
At this point, Jiang Yuanming was shocked. He looked at Fan Yongru in disbelief and said in a low voice, "Are you saying that Xiao Hua is also at the Ochre Spirit Palace?"
"That is not very likely ~"
Fan Yongru smiled and said, "With Xiao Hua's experience, he knows how to grow jade. He has even grown the King of Beautiful Jade and Spiritual Jade. He is the most suitable candidate for the Runic Array Trial. But … there is no guarantee that he will not go to the Ochre Spirit Palace to make elixirs!"
"No, no ~"
Jiang Yuanming waved his hand and said, "I have thought that Xiao Hua might go to the Ochre Spirit Palace to make elixirs. But after thinking about it, I feel that it is not very likely!"
"Why?"
Fan Yongru asked.
"Well ~"
Jiang Yuanming hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Hua might be the Confucian Immortal clone of Dao Immortal Hunyuan Sage Xiao. You should have heard of this before, right?"
"Yes ~"
Fan Yongru said with a smile, "I didn't know when the Elite Selection began. But since Xiao Hua is the top student of the five cities, his experience and background naturally have to be made public. I also know about Nangong Shiru."
"So ~"
Jiang Yuanming said meaningfully, "Xiao Wenheng has not shown any ability to make elixirs. If he goes to the Ochre Spirit Palace, it is very likely that he will use the Dao Immortal Alchemy Method. And as long as he uses the power of laws, the Heavenly Revelation Record will immediately expel him from the Forbidden Land of Black Ring!"
