Dan Yangzi and Daozi Lin Xuan walked in a line and steadily moved out from the capital city. When they were thirty miles outside the capital city, they saw the torrential river as well as a young monk and an old monk traveling down on the water.
Dan Yangzi and Daozi Lin Xuan stopped and stood at the shore to bow to the two monks, ”Senior brothers.”
The two monks also quickly stopped on the river surface and put their palms together to return the greeting, ”Senior brothers.”
The old monk's white eyebrows were drooping lowly as he said, ”Did senior brothers return from Imperial College? Did you stay for three full days?”
Dan Yangzi shook his head, ”We didn't stay three full days.”
The old monk's eyebrows twitched which was evident his inner heart was rather disturbed, ”Imperial College actually has such capability to face Daozi? I'll be going over with Fozi and I wonder how would our circumstances be.”
Dan Yangzi bowed to bid farewell and the old monk also bowed as they parted their ways.
Dan Yangzi and Daozi Lin Xuan's departure made the uppermost chancellors to the lowermost scholars of Imperial College let off a long sigh of relief. As for who had defeated Daozi Lin Xuan, no one could determine it.
Defeating Daozi Lin Xuan was supposed to be a good deed, but it was very weird that the expert didn't jump out to claim that it was him or her who had defeated Daozi Lin Xuan.
Everyone started guessing and some said that a prince must have secretly made his move and caused Daozi Lin Xuan to back out after being defeated. However, due to the fighting openly and maneuvering covertly among the princes, this prince must have been worried of showing off his abilities, therefore, he had concealed it so as to prevent other princes from assassinating him.
There were also some who said that it was Sword Maniac Xiao Yin who had made a move. Xiao Yin was a sword maniac who indulged himself in the path of sword and had nothing else in his mind, holding no importance for fame.
There were even some who said that it was those senior brothers who had graduated from Imperial College who had heard about this matter and rushed back to defeat Daozi Lin Xuan before rushing back to the frontlines. Many of the scholars who had graduated from Imperial College had already become generals in the frontlines, leading the soldiers into battle.
Some also guessed that it was Imperial Preceptor's disciples who had entered Imperial College on command to become imperial scholars and defeated Lin Xuan. They then quit school right after.
There were all kinds of explanations.
In Scholar's Residence, many scholars were unusually lively as they gathered in Chen Wanyun's courtyard, having a lively discussion with everyone talking at once, ”Big brother, now the whole mountain is guessing who has defeat Daozi of Dao Sect, could it be you?”
Chen Wanyun gave a yawn and tried to hold back his sleepiness, ”It's not me. Even though I had the heart to stand out for Imperial College, however, I had gone too fierce with my training and fell asleep in the courtyard unknowingly. If not for your commotion, I wouldn't have woken up. I also have no idea who has defeated Daozi Lin Xuan.”
Everyone was skeptical and Qu Ting smiled, ”Could it be that big brother plans to modest about your fame and reputation?”
Chen Wanyun was between laughter and tears as he said, ”I haven't slept and took a break for two days straight to comprehend the three sword skills that Imperial Preceptor had taught us, thus I had overused my brain and damaged my vitality. With me unable to even unleash eighty percent of my power, how could it be me? If I was the one who had defeated Daozi Lin Xuan, would I have concealed it from all of you?”
Suddenly Monk Yun Que's spirit slightly stirred and asked, ”It couldn't be that abandoned person right?”
Yue Qinghong's heart also slightly stirred. Even though she was embarrassed after getting smacked by Qin Mu into the copper pillar, she still extremely admired Qin Mu's abilities, ”That abandoned person has consummate skills and no matter if they are battle techniques, spells, or sword skills, they are all not weak. Could it be him?”
Chen Wanyun hesitated for a moment and shook his head, ”Truth to be told, I saw him training diligently and not sleeping, that's why I had motivated to train hard as well so as to defeat Daozi Lin Xuan. His training time wasn't shorter than mine so he must still be deep asleep right now and missed the chance to fight Daozi Lin Xuan.”
A scholar said angrily, ”This guy, making big brother go astray as well! When Imperial Preceptor was imparting his skills, he had made a commotion about refining vital qi thread. Since he had just refined vital qi thread, how could he have defeated Daozi of Dao Sect?”
All the scholars nodded their heads in agreement and laughed, ”He had made a fool out of himself in front of Hall of Supreme Learning and it made us feel good. Even the injuries from being beaten up by him don't hurt that much!”
At this moment, a commotion came from below the mountain and someone could be heard shouting, ”There an old monk that has come to the bottom of the mountain and he brought along a young monk with him. They have then sat down in front of the mountain gate!”
All the scholars looked at each other and Chen Wanyun's gaze flickered as he said solemnly, ”The experts from Dao Sect have just left and the monks from Great Thunderclap Monastery have come! The younger one of these two monks must be the Fozi of Great Thunderclap Monastery! I couldn't fight Daozi Lin Xuan so I must definitely meet Fozi of Great Thunderclap Monastery! Junior brothers and sisters, I'll have to rest for half a day to preserve and nurture my spirit.”
All the scholars bid farewell and left.
Chen Wanyun laid down with his clothes on and slept soon after.
When the next day came, Chen Wanyun woke up and felt refreshed. He cleaned up, filled his stomach and immediately went down the mountain. When he was down the mountain, only did he know that Fozi of Great Thunderclap Monastery had defeated many experts of Imperial College.
This Fozi had Rulai's Mahayana Sutra, diamond body and was proficient in the victorious strife techniques of Buddhism. When he executed his spells, his body would expand several times and gain extraordinary strength. There was Buddha's aura flowing around his body which would occasionally transform into a huge bell and occasionally turned into a pagoda used for suppression. Holding on to the gold alms bowl with one hand, he could suck people into the bowl and with the other hand, Mount Meru would come crashing down.
Chen Wanyun went forward to fight and had fought a dozen rounds, breaking his diamond body with Drill Sword Form, hurting the Fozi Fo Xin. However, Fo Xin still had strong abilities after all and defeated him.
