The second round of matches for the Grand Examination had already reached its latter half Of the two matches between the Mount Li Sword Sect and the Orthodox Academy, the Orthodox Academy had forfeited one and lost the other It could be said that the Mount Li Sword Sect had recovered all the dignity it had lost in the Ivy Festival and that the Orthodox Acadeh the matches were not team battles and the Grand Exarades, none of these young exa from cracks in rocks Whether it was in the eyes of the world or in their own perception, their grades represented the glory of their schools or sects

The third person fro Since Princess Luoluo, as publicly acknowledged to be the strongestTianhai Shengxue, as already in Ethereal Opening, as her opponent, the vast majority of people felt that there was no chance of her winning Thus, whether or not the Orthodox Academy was completely annihilated in the second round relied entirely on Chen Changsheng's ability to win

Although he had defeated that Yellow Mountain Valley disciple in the first round, there was still no one optimistic about his chances Everyone knew that he was the weakest of the four students of the Orthodox Acade Thirty-Six had lost, how could he possibly avoid defeat? A s were to happen too often, they would cease to be miracles and become suspicious

The second reason no one was opti's chances was that there was so of lots for the second round in this year's Grand Exaed the drawing

Chen Changsheng's opponent in this round was Huo Guang of Scholartree Manor

In every aspect, this was the best choice, but not Chen Changsheng's best choice Instead, it was the best choice of those people that wanted Chen Changsheng to lose

From the Divine Empress to the common people, from the White Emperor in the distant land of the demi-humans to the storytellers of the capital, everyone on the Central Continent atching the capital's Grand Examination With the Ivy Festival and the announceement, and then with the archbishop's declaration that Chen Changsheng would take first rank of the first banner, countless eyes were focused on Chen Changsheng

In this sort of situation, those people anted to suppress the Orthodox Acade had to act withit so that their actions were not i draw Gou Hanshi+ as his opponent in the second round, anyone would think that so was fishy Perhaps the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education ht flip the table, but the castanets on the tables of the capital's storytellers would assuredly clackwas the best opponent

This young scholar had spent his entire ti the school to gain experience As a result, he was never ranked on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, and those ere not aware of the real situation would think his in Scholartree Manor, and Huo Guang was even one of the scholars that Scholartree Manor was focused on raising, intending to have hie that was the Grand Exaainst hiloo Thirty-Six leaned on the white poplar and watched Chen Changsheng leave He suddenly said, ”If you can't win, just withdraw! Keep out of trouble!”

Earlier, he had said that Chen Changsheng could not lose because he knew that Chen Changsheng had some reason that required him to take first rank of the first banner in the Grand Exa the case, he naturally couldn't lose However, now he thought about how even if Chen Changsheng were to inexplicably win against the scholar from Scholartree Manor, he was still no xue and Gou Hanshi+, so he took back his words

In his view, Chen Changsheng was still very young and still had e, who kne et the first rank of the first banner even if he put his life on the line, what need was there to bet his life? Why couldn't he put his eyes on the future and leave things for later? Why did he have to treat hi waved his hand but didn't turn around After all, he couldn't explain that though he was very young, he didn't have many more years to waste

He bowed to the Li Palace priest and ascended the stone steps

In the first round, his right shoe had been destroyed He was currently wearing a new pair of shoes

These shoes had been brought by Guardian Li from her chaht size Luoluo had probably taken his reat confidence when he stepped on the ground

At the forest's edge, Xuanyuan Po asked Tang Thirty-Six, ”Do you want to rest a little?”

Tang Thirty-Six looked to the stone steps at the distant Chen Changsheng After a few ive me a few crystals”

Just like the Elder of Heavenly Secrets had said in his evaluation for the Proclareatly affected by Chen Changsheng For instance, just now, upon seeing Chen Changsheng's figure, he very quickly shed his soain true essence This was because there et onto one of the three banners, or else he would feel hi

This had nothing to do with cultivation level or grades, only ill

The Hall of Washi+ng Away Dust opened, and Chen Changsheng and the scholar called Huo Guang walked in

Separated by ten-so, the two quietly looked at each other across the sandy ground

Upon careful exaht be able to see a few bloodstains beneath the sand at their feet, probably left behind by the examinees from the previousbroke the silence ”Before I came to the capital”

This scholar of Scholartree Manor was eighteen or nineteen years old He had a cold expression and seemed carved from the same block as his schoolmates In truth, their appearances were quite dissi was that the young scholars of Scholartree Manor all gave off this indescribable aura

Chen Changsheng did not reply, as he felt that there was no need

”I knew that I wouldcalmly looked at him ”Before I ca realize that today's suppression of the Orthodox Academy in today's Grand Examination was not merely the work of people within the Great Zhou Dynasty, not merely the effort of a few people within the Orthodoxy It even involved people from the distant south

He still did not speak, only cal and moved his true essence

”In order to resist the invasion of the demons, the human world must unite No one can stop this torrential momentum Anyone who attempts in vain to do so will be washed away into the filthy sewer of history, and you…have affected the progress of the confluence of the north and south Thus, you will not take first rank of the first banner in the Grand Exa expressionlessly declared

Chen Changsheng finally understood what that indescribable aura was

It was just like the feeling he got froht of the Ivy Festival

In this world, there had always been soe principles
