Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1194
He has participated in three intermediate-level ceremonies in nine years, which is also an unusual practitioner.

"Then he has never been an official?" Chen Zichu was very surprised when he heard the words. The status of Hanshan Academy in Soochow is comparable to that of Jixia Academy in Southern Chu. The seat is no problem.

"Did he rank poorly the first two times?"

You know, a 30-year-old man is not considered young in the Shanhai Continent, and he should have started a family long ago.

"The first time he participated in the intermediate ceremony, he was ranked sixth, the second time he was ranked fifth, and the third time you saw it, he was ranked fourth." Zhao Guangdao, "The first time there were more than 100 people, the second He entered the top 32 for the first time, but he seems determined to enter the top eight and even become the leader."

It is not difficult for Ying Baoyue to understand this kind of mentality, just like the imperial examinations in the world she lived in. Some people want to take the exam for a lifetime, and the ranking in the middle-level ceremony is enough for practitioners to brag about for a lifetime. There are also those who are not willing to take the exam several times.

However, it is still rare for someone like this Hua Nianfeng to become an official but still take the exam until he is 30 years old.

You must know that in the Shanhai Continent, men usually get married at the age of 15, and by the age of 30, many even have grandchildren.

It just so happened that Zhao Guang also introduced it to this level.

"Has this Mr. Hua married a wife?" Chen Zichu asked curiously.

"His father is a fifth-rank immortal official with a middle-class family background. He got married at the age of 15," Zhao Guang said, "I heard that his eldest son got engaged just a few months ago, but because he has never been an official, his son's cultivation talent is not enough. , the family background is too weak, and she was disgusted by her daughter-in-law's natal family."

"The eldest son is already engaged..." Chen Zichu was speechless, "This is really a figure from the grandfather's generation."

Most of them were between 15 and 17 years old, and many of them delayed their marriage because they had to attend the elementary and intermediate ceremonies, so they seemed to be about the same age as Hua Nianfeng's son.

"However, after three consecutive exams, I met Zhaohua in the quarter-finals... Isn't this person too unlucky?"

The teenagers under the osmanthus tree looked at the practitioner standing in front of Li Ji on the stone platform.

Hua Nianfeng is a middle-aged man with a calm appearance. He is tall and tall with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and he can also be called handsome, but there are deep wrinkles between his eyebrows, and there is a gloomy air lingering on his weather-beaten face. He looked a little sad.

And when he saw the long sword at Li Ji's waist, this gloom became even stronger.

"Senior Hua, long time no see." The black eyes in Li Ji's mask were still as calm as a deep pool, and he nodded to Hua Nianfeng.

"I can't afford to be Mr. Zhaohua's senior," Hua Nianfeng stretched out his hand to hold the thick hilt of his sword, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, and one side of his body gave way to his courtesy, and he said calmly, "Lord Tianjie's This ceremony really upsets this junior."

"This man speaks sourly." Chen Zichu under the tree frowned upon hearing this.

Li Ji was indeed higher than Hua Nianfeng in realm, but after suppressing the realm, the two of them were in the same realm. Out of courtesy, he saluted the elder, but Hua Nianfeng's response was too embarrassing.

Looking at this scene, Ji Jiashu sighed, "It's true that the yin and yang are weird, but from his point of view, it's not difficult to understand."

It took me nine years of hard work to climb to my current position, but I was easily overtaken by a practitioner who was almost ten years younger than me, and he was still standing in front of me. Anyone else would feel uncomfortable.

Hua Nianfeng looked at Li Ji with resentment in his eyes.

The people in the audience were a little embarrassed because of the conversation between Hua Nianfeng and Li Ji, but Li Ji never knew what embarrassment was. Even after being ridiculed by Hua Nianfeng like this, his eyes were still neither happy nor angry.

"Really?" Li Ji took a step back quietly, pulled out the Juque sword at his waist, and pointed it at Hua Nian Peak, "Then let's start."

On the contrary, Hua Nianfeng was irritated by Li Ji's calm attitude. He pulled out the giant sword at his waist and pointed it firmly at Li Ji's forehead, "Why? You have already ascended to the heavenly rank, but you still come here Don't you know how to be ashamed to compete with us for ranking?"

Zhao Guang in the audience frowned uncomfortably. Li Ji's behavior was indeed rare, but Li Ji was only 21 years old after all, and he had not broken the realm for more than half a year. Hua Nianfeng was nine years older than him. Bully, no matter how you say it, it's not Hua Nianfeng's turn to say it.

Do you want to blame why your younger opponent is higher than your realm?
But Zhao Guang didn't expect that Hua Nianfeng would really think so.

Facing Hua Nianfeng's accusation, Li Ji's eyes didn't show any emotion, he just held the giant sword silently.

Looking at the ancient sword in his hand, Hua Nianfeng felt even more depressed.

"Every time I see you, I feel that God is really unfair," he stared at Li Ji and said coldly.

If he wasn't a practitioner of the fourth rank, he felt that he might not be able to control the jealousy in his heart. When he knew that his opponent in the quarterfinals was Li Ji, he felt abandoned by the way of heaven.

He has seen Li Ji's battle and knows that he is not Li Ji's opponent.

However, he really refused to accept it.

"Nine years," Hua Nianfeng gasped, his chest rising and falling, "Do you know how long nine years is?"

He struggled for nine full years, just for a place in the top eight.But nine years ago, this little boy didn't know where to play with wooden swords!
Hua Nianfeng stared at Li Ji in front of him.

But it is because this person has a foster father who is a national teacher, has the talent bestowed by the heavens, and has an unexpected opportunity, and he broke through the heavenly rank at the age of 21.

Why?
Everything in this world must be within easy reach of this proud son of heaven, but he actually wants to grab what mortals like them dream of.

Why is he?
The calmer Li Ji behaved, the more unable to control the anger in Hua Nianfeng's heart.

But at this moment, Li Ji, who had been silent all this time, heard his words and suddenly raised his head to look at him.

"I know how long nine years is."

Li Ji couldn't distinguish between emotions and anger, and spoke softly.

Hua Nianfeng was a little surprised, but the surprise in his eyes turned into sarcasm at the next moment, "What? The honorable Mr. Zhaohua actually knows how long nine years is?"

How can a genius who doesn't even need to work hard understand the length of time!

How could he know how much ridicule he had endured, how hard he had worked, and how much pressure he had endured from his wife and son's family nine years ago!

But if he can really make some hypocritical sympathy emerge in this son-in-law's heart, it's his chance.

Hua Nianfeng smiled coldly, and suddenly swung the huge sword in his hand and rushed towards Li Ji.

"Wait, the bell hasn't rung..."

The examiner yelled in amazement, he didn't expect the Huanian Summit to attack suddenly, obviously he saw that Li Jiming's realm was higher than him, even if he violated the rules this time, being able to hurt Li Ji is still the capital he can brag about in the practice world .

There was an exclamation from the audience, but at the same time, a sharp light flashed across the stone platform.

With a click, Li Ji put his sword back into its sheath.

The world seemed to be at a standstill, and everyone stared blankly at him without reacting.

Plop.

Hua Nianfeng's heavy body fell to the ground, the giant sword slipped from the tiger's mouth, and his eyes widened.

Li Ji looked down at the older practitioner who was twitching slightly at his feet, and spoke quietly.

"I said, I know how long nine years is."

because.

He has been waiting for nine years.
