Chapter 145 (1/2)
Chen Chang Sheng didn’t notice the stares that were falling upon him
Since Luo Luo entered Li Palace, he hadn’t enjoyed this type of paain, he quickly adjusted and became accustomed to the treat and thus, lacking in concentration
For the Acade at least within the top 3, the problem was, Gou Han shi+ would probably also place within the top 3; even Tian Hai Sheng Xue’s results shouldn’t be poor, with these things in mind, if he wanted to place first upon the First Banner then he had to at least enter the final e
This meant he had to win another 5Xue and the four scholars frost the last to hand in their papers were all to be elireatly reduced The proble that could possibly happen
Guan Fei Bai, Liang Ban Hu and Qi Jian were all potential opponents, there was also Zhuang Huan Yu, who had re Sheng feel the most anxious and cautious however, had to be that youth that didn’t le with the crowd
That wolf-tribe youth didn’t have any results in the academic phase, therefore, nophase, it would not be enough to place first upon the First Banner; hence, he wasn’t in a direct competition with that youth, but what if he were to match up with that youth in one of the next few matches?
No one wanted to ainst that youth early on; Gou Han shi+ and Tian Hai Sheng Xue should also be the sa
The short resting interval quickly came to an end, Lady Official Li and the handrounds
The second round to the Duelling Stage was about to start and the area before the Tower of Purging Dust gradually quietened down In comparison to the first round, the mood was even more restive and tense, this was because the first 15 exa to enter this round of matches
The first 15 exa: there were the four from Li Shan Sword Sect; two from Star Seizer Acade Xue, as standing at the fore with a look of cold indifference; and Zhuang Huan Yu, as quietly standing beside a fellow student
That wolf-tribe youth naroup, solitary as always; only one person that didn’t know anyone
The second round had more or less the sa on two points:
Firstly, opponents were no longer chosen by the higher ranked examinee, nor was it decided by the exa lots, also, following rounds would each have a separate lot drawing; the opponent an examinee would face, was left entirely up to fate
Secondly, starting froer be escorted out of the Education Palace, but will stay at the rounds; this was because there were only 64 examinees left, in order to confirm ould enter the Three Grades – the exa would be absolutely fair – the losers ht have to compete in a second tournament
Before the matches, lots were drawn Fro of lots was even more important than the actual matches, if one could draw a relatively weak opponent, it would essentially h to draw an opponent like Gou Han shi+, what could you do?
Dozens of gazes followed the hand of the clergy as it left the box, before finally resting upon the slip that had an examinee’s name written within
“Orthodox Acadeyainst Li Shan Sword Sect, Gou Han shi+”
The area before the toas dead silent, it took a long period of tiave a reaction; multiple cries of exclamation arose
Since Qiu Shan Jun unexpectedly didn’t enter this year’s Grand Exaest participant this year was unquestionably Gou Han shi+ They all naturally assuuessed that in the very first match, the examiner would have drawn his name
The emotion behind those exclamations were complex, apart from shock, there was also a lot of joy; within the s joy in someone’s misery
Just as how no one wanted to go against that wolf-tribe youth, no one wanted to ainst Gou Han shi+
Currently, they didn’t have to worry anymore, this was because Gou Han shi+’s opponent was Xuan Yuan Po; Orthodox Academy’s Xuan Yuan Po
The woodlands were very quiet, Chen Chang Sheng and Tang Thirty-Six looked at Xuan Yuan Po, their eyes didn’t reveal any sy
At a tiless
Xuan Yuan Po was bewildered, asking: “What should I do?”
Tang Thirty-Six said: “Can’t you see that we’re waiting for you to make a decision?”
Xuan Yuan Po looked towards Luo Luo and said: “Master, I’ll listen to you”
Luo Luo looked towards Chen Chang Sheng and said: “Sir, what do you think?”
Chen Chang Sheng looked towards Tang Thirty-Six and said: “Why don’t you give a suggestion?”
Tang Thirty-Six didn’t even pause for thought, raising his hand and directly calling out to the clergy the lots: “We concede”
The ined that Orthodox Academy would choose to immediately concede the match the moment the lot was drawn, this was far too quick and decisive, or perhaps better described as thick-skinned and shameless? Sounds of ridicule could be heard froure a little destitute
Chen Chang Sheng coth will allow you to have a se in the second tournament”
Tang Thirty-Six handled external affairs, looking at the exa ive the naht Gou Han shi+ instead?”
Passing on the lot that was draas obviously not allowed, but his words reminded a lot of the examinees that if your aiainst a strong opponent like Gou Han shi+, whoht be the best option; thinking that they theht be the next one to concede adown
The drawing continued, the cal the na Ban Hu
The exahed at Orthodox Academy; they had started to feel a little sorry for the academy
Tang Thirty-Six had a cal a voice only those beside him could hear, he said: “Your mother, what kind of luck is this?”
Xuan Yuan Po ainst Gou Han shi+, this was the worst kind of luck, for hi Ban Hu was not really any better
The drawing of lots had only just started, yet two people froainst two members of the Divine State’s Seven Laere widely acknowledged as to being the strongest No matter how this was looked at, Orthodox Academy was clearly down on its luck today
The academy’s bad luck didn’t end here
