”Report?!”
A few invigilators looked at one another, a similar expression of shock appearing on their faces. Cheating in the county Law of Dao examination wasn’t something that was uncommon.
After all, this was a world where strength was respect.
There were many people with powerful training, but only had a surface level comprehension of the Law of Dao, lacking a deep understanding and usage.
Hence, during the theory examination, the initial rules had given enough space for cheating to occur.
For example, after entering the examination venue, there were no preassigned seat numbers, and not every seat was monitored closely with by invigilators. It was actually hint to examinees.
Cheating was allowed!
In this world, everything was result-based.
Just like on the battlefield, nobody cared how one fought, what formation one employed, what troops one used. People only cared about one thing, whether you managed to win the battle.
But…
If cheating was discovered, that was a completely different matter altogether.
Given the space, and given the relaxed rules, one still managed to get caught?
That was humiliating, simply humiliating.
A few of the invigilators quickly reached Fang Zhengzhi and unfolded the paper.
”Fang Zhengzhi, you wait! Let me see how you pass the theory examination!” Meng Yushu didn’t bother arguing with the invigilators. Because, the handwriting on the paper and his own were one and the same.
There was no way to argue over this point.
Results of the theory examination was glory to him. It was important! But, it wasn’t worth sacrificing himself over.
Because, due to having accessed Dao, he would be able to participate in the combat examination without even participating in the theory examination. He could even directly skip the county examination to participate in the capital examination.
That was the rule of this world.
Power determined everything!
But...
He was completely humiliated today and had was unable to remain at this place anymore.
He stood up, and left.
But, Meng Yushu leaving the venue didn’t bring about any good words for Fang Zhengzhi. Even those examinees who saw Meng Yushu leave the venue looked at Fang Zhengzhi as if they were looking at an idiot.
”He actually reported Meng Yushu?!”
”That’s simply too stupid! Without Meng Yushu, how can he pass the theory examination?”
”Harming himself, how can he live like this!”
Sitting a distance away, Li Huer also witnessed this scene, and silently celebrated. It was lucky that Fang Zhengzhi had done something so stupid, else with Meng Yushu’s help, he might really be able to pass the theory examination.
But now, it seemed like…
There was no doubt that Fang Zhengzhi was going to fail the theory examination.
Everyone was silently worried. Even a few invigilators secretly shook their heads at Fang Zhengzhi. This kid was too stupid? He had given up such a good opportunity.
After this brief episode, the examination venue once again regained its silence.
Fang Zhengzhi had no idea that the Law of Dao examinations in this world would have such an inside story. Based on his understanding of ancient history, the Law of Dao examination should be rather similar to the imperial examination of the past.
Cheating?
Once it was caught, that was something that would ban one from examinations for life.
Having successfully eliminated a rival, Fang Zhengzhi was delighted. Then, he once again leisurely rested his body on the table and took a nap.
When the rest of the examinees witnessed this, they shook their head once again.
”Don’t tell me this guy’s purpose in participating the Law of Dao examinations is to take a nap?”
”After so many years of intense studying, success is already right in front of his eyes, but he gave it up just like this. That is really too stupid!”
