Chapter 165 (2/2)
It’s just that, just like what the human figure was saying, this time, Master Bai brought out Murong Chang Feng not merely to have him win. What’s most important was that he took back the stage!
“Right now, I’ll declare the rules for the second duel.” The teacher slowly scanned the people beneath the stage. After they’d all settled down, he then continued. “Unlike the first two matches, this second duel is divided into two parts, the first part is the written exam. The rules are very simple. In here, Master Tu Lao prepared for you guys the same armament components. You guys think about what kind of armaments will best make use of the components. You only need to formulate two kinds of high grade armaments to win. The time given is half of an incense stick. If within this time, a compet.i.tor fails to come up with two high grade armaments, they will directly lose. In other words, they’re disqualified from continuing to compete. If both people are able to design two grade armaments, then the one with the better quality will win.”
After he finished saying this, the teacher retreated to the side.
On the wood stage, two stone pillars slowly rose. On each stone pillar the same armament components were arranged. However, what made people feel to be the most difficult was that those components were scattered and were unremarkable. To turn these armament components into one good armament was already very difficult, yet right now, they were surprisingly asked to come up with at least two sets of plans. How deserving of Master Tu Lao, even able to come up with such a tricky theme!
Everyone thought this, as one after another, they turned and glanced towards Master Tu Lao’s seat, but only saw that he show any change in state of mind. Even though it’s not that far from here to the compet.i.tion stage. However, his cataracts prevented him from seeing the features of the person on the stage clearly. He only stroked his beard and his pair of smiling eyes gave off a mysterious feeling.
“This year, students from the Inferior Compound is actually worth paying attention to, hehe, really didn’t foresee that the one onstage surprisingly is a girl. It seems that this duel is getting more and more interesting.”
The referee sitting by his side glanced at him and grinned. “Tu Lao, ah, I say, this eyesight of yours is getting worse and worse. Isn’t that the Helian family’s Miss Good-for-nothing. Don’t you recognize her?”
“How would he recognize her. Currently, imprinted in his heart is only that genius he met at Phoenix Tower. He doesn’t even care about his own disciple, why would he care about someone who can’t be reached using eight bamboo poles (their disparity is too great).”
Tu Lao put down the teacup in his hand. “You guys can stop teasing me. This year, the Inferior Compound truly is exceptional.”
“This, I admit.” Another master’s expression was conspicuously moved. “That student who just finished his martial qi duel can even directly enter the Superior Compound. Speaking of which, what in the world’s his background. How come I’ve never heard of him?”
Tu Lao also felt puzzled in exactly same way. However, he personally wasn’t very interested in martial qi geniuses. What he’d most like to see during the armaments duel this time was for a dark-horse to kill the compet.i.tion.
“Look, you guys! Lord Murong already started writing!”
It’s unknown who spoke among the crowd.
Everybody retracted their gazes, the expression in their eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with astonishment. “So fast?”
“Alright.” Murong Chang Feng merely used a few minutes and already put aside the writing brush in his hand, pa.s.sing his rolled-up answers to the teacher by his side. “Will the teacher please have the masters take a look, these are my answers.”
The teacher received the fine writing paper and originally was going to give it to Tu Lao. However, Tu Lao smiled gently and waved his hand to signal the teacher to give it to another master.
“He deserves to be your disciple, within such a short time, he already drew up three plans.” The master who received the fine writing paper eyes were full of admiration as he shook his head. “Doesn’t this settle the win.”
Facing this kind of outcome, Tu Lao wasn’t surprised as the corners of his mouth curved up. This disciple of his’ ability was something he already knew about, and indeed not bad…..
