Chapter 106 (1/2)

Crossing the Divine Avenue – Part 1

Due to the fervent gazes of the fe his look of icy refine ords were uttered, his expression deepened further, with a steely gaze directed towards the source of those words and confir that they were uttered by a student of Temple Academy

Chen Chang Sheng extended an ar so

His purpose for co to Li Palace today, was to meet Luo Luo about an important matter, he had no time for delays

Though he couldn’t cohts, he wasn’t about to erupt in fury over therievances, heart-ache, sadness… all of these emotions were detrimental to health and a waste of time, and thus held little value to him

Tang Thirty-Six gave the Te Sheng onwards

Jeering started coroup, unhappy at the i’s stare, with one person exclai: “The truth is the truth, are we not allowed to state the truth? The National Precept Acade students this year, yet you want to emulate the pressure tactics of the academy of the Divine Way?”

Seeing Chen Chang Shen’s continued indifference, Tang Thirty-Six took a deep breath and decided to ignore the taunts, “I’ll treat it like as if I a our business at Li Palace, if there are still people who dare to tauntwith them then”

In the palace complex ahead, Temple Academy, Li Palace sub-Acadele wall and the bell tolls could be heard by all Not long after passing the Temple Academy, they approached the entrance to Li Palace sub-Academy

Here, the two sides of the divine avenue was lined with green paGoda trees that didn’t shed leaves in autureen, a fitting match for the status of the academy

News of a visit from National Precept Academy had already spread across the ca nu out fro at the divine avenue Curious onlookers on both sides of the avenue gazed towards Chen Chang Sheng’s group, with the western side being especially crowded, creating a rather impressive spectacle

Students of Li Palace sub-Acade under the paGoda trees, staring at the group fro across the avenue Some of the students couldn’t help but admire their actions, were it to be themselves, with how much difficulty would they be able handle the pressure of so many stares and yet maintain such a steady pace?

“Senior Su has arrived!”

This caused a slight cost the students of Li Palace sub-Acade aside to create a pathway

A single youth, a clergyed fro at the divine avenue

This youthful clergyeneration’s students for Li Palace sub-Acadeous to that of Zhuang Huan Yu at the acade’s second round, he was the one who achieved first place

Achieving first place in thewas supposed to be a very prestigious achieve, Luo Luo crippled Tian Hai Ya’er in the first round, while the third round was dominated by several brilliant battles National Precept Acadelory and subsequently, very little attention was paid to the results of the martial round

Even though Su Mo Yu didn’t express any of his thoughts on the eneration and couldn’t have been pleased with the results

“Gou Han shi+… was actually incapable of dealing with this person?”

Having observed the ordinary looking youth on the divine avenue, he found himself confused and said: “Could it be… the council of Divine Ordinance (Tian Ji Ge) rong on their evaluation of Gou Han shi+?”

In preparation of breaking through the upper stage of the zuozhao (Meditative) realside medications supplied by his teacher Due to this, he didn’t attend the third night of the Ivy League gathering at the i the chance to witness the bout between National Precept Acadeh his other senior students and peers

Though he had heard a lot of accounts about what happened, he still couldn’t understand how National Precept Acadeainst Li Shan Sword Sect Especially the youth naainst Gou Han shi+?

Having finally seen Chen Chang Shen in person, he could confirm that he had yet to successfully baptise himself Without a successful baptism, no matter how mature or learned one may be, you cannot understand the intricacies of heaven and earth, let alone develop a strong spiritual sense Yet Gou Han shi+ still couldn’t achieve victory in the end…

Therefore he could only conclude that Gou Han shi+ was not as able as rumoured

“Senior Su’s words ring true, I dare say, in the co Grand Examination, if senior were to be suitably cautious, there shouldn’t any proble Gou Han shi+”

Other students of the academy uttered their endorsements of this view, yet, these were all learned people, and Gou Han shi+ was doubtlessly still a member of the Seven Laws of the Divine Nation and ranked second aed to leave the procla his ifted individual Thus, they were ement to Su Mo Yu

They were not so kind, however, in regards to the people of National Precept Academy

“That Chen Chang Sheng can’t even successfully co was probably just a fluke”

The Li Palace sub-Acade their head

After observing female students of the 13 Jade Departments and so in adulation at the fluttering green garments of the youth from National Precept Acade Thirty-Six is also nothing more than a sham”

Su Mo Yu, lightly frowned, replying in refutation: “If I am not incorrect, the three members of National Precept Academy ill participate in next year’s Grand Exa coood thing, Tang Tang is not someone you should underestimate”

The fellow student knew of his senior’s adherence to propriety and quickly answered: “Senior’s instruction is correct”

Crossing the Divine Avenue – Part 2

National Precept Academy is now Orthodox Seminary:

I note this was translated as Tradition Academy by the previous translators The Chinese words used are 国教学院, with 国教 hly translate to national teachings, hence the previous temporary marker of “National Precept”) With the structure of the story, the Church is probably closer in style to Western Christianity than anything analogous in Chinese history, thus I have decided to go with na it Orthodox

Orthodox School/Acadee/etc can probably work, but as a matter of taste I decided on Seminary

Subsequently, the establishment of a National Precept mentioned earlier would mean the establishment of the Orthodoxy

Ancestral Teed to Temple Academy, but I have now decided on Temple Seminary

Li Palace sub-Acadee, since it’s an affiliated school of the palace and sub-Academy is just a mouthful

The 13 Jade Departments is now named the 13 Divisions of Radiant Green due to considerations for their namesake
