Chapter 586: Failure?

Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Mill what the other party orried about, Zhang Xuan said, ”It's just a chess game, I don't think it's possible forbefore was just carelessness Now that he knew the rules, he would surely make sure to take precautions andas he were to show so awry like in the previous few tests to happen

Ignoring Zhang Xuan, Hong shi+ waved his hands and spoke affire once ht that nothing would go awry in the previous test! After all, it was just a test on reading books Who could have iined that the Book of Emptied River which I borrowed from the headquarter would be destroyed?

Just think about how e you have caused since the tournao first? Drea how even a 5-starhied helplessly

It seemed like he could only bide his time here and wait for the others to be done

”It is fortunate that Hong shi+ stood his ground! Otherwise, who knoould happen this ti and the others also wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads upon seeing the scene

When Zhang Xuan offered to go first, all of them also leaped in shock

While it seea Xuan! Given his unconventional way of doing things, there was no way they could be certain!

In any case, the safest bet was to put hi on the rules, axia E uncontrollably

He just happened to be the oldest aroup Who in the world did he offend for hio first each ti, he was just the oldest a all of the participants here Was there really a need for hi the first or the last was unlikely to make any difference in this test anyway It was just a difference in thea deep breath, he drove his Soul Depth and activated the Heart of Tranquil Water After which, clasping his fist toward Hong shi+, he proceeded over to the gazebo

The others also quickly turned their sights over

Liu Quan walked to the four pillars propping froazebo one by one, and after which, he fell into deep conte for an incense's time to be up With a frown, he walked to the opposite end of the chessboard forhtly placed it down on an empty spot

Huala!

The stone floated in the air for adown onto the chessboard

”He ed to place it”

”It see that the stone had been successfully placed down, everyone heaved a sigh of relief

Hong shi+ had said previously, the stone couldn't be placed if themove

Hu!

The oldthe ly put in a difficult position, a deep frown appeared on Liu Quan's forehead But his dile Soon, he placed down another stone as well

Just like that, they quickly exceeded the minimum requirement of six stones to pass the test, and soon, they reached their ninth stone

But on the tenth, Liu Quan found hixia Elie E shi+ announced

Han Zhaoji walked up onto the stage

Not too long later, he left the gazebo with an excited expression on his face He had passed the test with a score of seven stones

Follohich, the next candidate went up

After five consecutive successful challenges, the re participants felt much more confident But at this point, the streak was broken The sixth challenger found himself unable to put down the fourth stone, and the next four challengers that went after him failed the test as well

Eventually, it was Luo Xuan who broke that losing streak

At this point, everyone realized that the fore for each participant, and thus, everyone would be unable to eone before them This ensured the equality of the test

Ti Xuan guessed, by the time the thirty-fivein the sky

Even though those who caeniuses, many still fell in this test While the nuerated as in the previous test, a total of nine people still failed

However, zi and Song Chao, still ly, the one holding the current record wasn't a participant froest White Helios Sect; rather, he ca to the Myriad Kingdom Alliance

The cultivation of thisthe participants, but his intelligence seeed to hold on for sixteen steps, and the i shi+, it's your turn!”

After everyone was done, Hong shi+ turned his gaze to the bored Zhang Xuan with a slightly apologetic look

The latter wished to go first, but due to his own fear, he forced the latter to the back instead

”Un!” Zhang Xuan stretched his back before walking over to the gazebo

The gazebo wasn't too big-around an average person's height The first thing he saw upon entering was that the closest pillar to him had the four words 'East', 'South', 'West', and 'North' on them

These four words didn't possess any artistic conception belonging to a painter behind it, they were just ordinary words

Turning his sight to the second pillar, there ords on the', 'Summer', 'Autumn', and 'Winter'

As for the next pillar, there were only tords 'To' and 'Fro'

And for the fourth pillar, there was only a single word Reason!

”North South East West, Spring Summer Autumn Winter, To Fro, and Reason? This What the heck are these?”

Zhang Xuan frowned

He thought that there would be more detailed hints, but they were just normal words

Four pillars of eleven words, but there were no links a to do with chess either What was he supposed to decipher?

After looking at each of the pillars, he turned his attention to the chessboard

The chessboard looked lance, Zhang Xuan was plunged into confusion
