Fighter of the Destiny

The scholar from Huaiyuan was slightly fat, and his face was a little sickly pale. It seemed that he rarely basked in the sun. While he was speaking to the Zongsi's instructions, he looked at Chen Changsheng and Luo Luo, with no expression on his face. There was a lot of mockery and warning in the slightly raised corners of his lips.

Chen Changsheng thought that these people had too much on their minds. He shook his head and ignored it. He patted the back of Luoluo's hand and motioned for her to choose the entrance. Luoluo really wanted to do something for him during the martial arts test, but when someone pointed it out, she couldn't help but feel a little angry, and gave the scholar from Huaiyuan a cold look. The scholar from Huaiyuan thought about His Highness Luo Luo's identity and felt a little regretful. However, the words had been spoken and there was no way he could take them back. He had to put his hands behind his back and deliberately pretend to be a noble person who dared to ask for life for all the people.

After the Zongsi taught the rules, more than twenty candidates spread out and followed the stone path on the edge of the holly shrub forest to find the entrance. This forest sea is really as vast as the sea. Standing on the edge of the forest, you can see the whole picture. Naturally There is no way to tell which entrance is better, you can only choose based on feeling or luck.

Chen Changsheng never believed in feelings or fate. He chose the nearest entrance. Luo Luo did not hesitate to choose the one next to him. He chose it very casually. Luo Luo followed his will completely. When other candidates saw it, This scene made the mood uncontrollably complicated again, giving rise to a lot of jealousy, envy, and sadness.

It didn't take long for the candidates to choose their respective entrances. At this time, dozens of priests who had left the palace appeared from nowhere. They took pens and notebooks and began to record the students' academic background and names, and then added their names. Write down the time on the side, which means that the martial arts test has officially begun, and the timing also starts from this moment.

Not a single candidate rushed into the cooking forest rashly—it was impossible to get through the maze designed by Wang Zhice by luck. The candidates stopped outside the holly bushes. Some sat on the stones by the road, some leaned on the tree trunks, and some simply sat on the ground. Regardless of the difference in posture, everyone closed their eyes and began to meditate. Dissipate your own consciousness.

Only two people did not close their eyes.

Gou Hanshi and Tianhai Shengxue stood outside the forest, looking at Lin Hai quietly, wondering what they were thinking.

More than twenty rays of spiritual consciousness floated towards Zhuoshi Forest, some were strong or weak, and there were some subtle differences in the breath. However, only the strong ones above the Star Gathering Realm could roughly appreciate the difference between the spiritual consciousness. Even people like those taught by Zongsi cannot judge based on perception.

The priests at the Zongsi Institute were looking at Chen Changsheng, and many of the priests from the palace who were responsible for recording were also looking at Chen Changsheng, just like the examiners in the previous literary examination.

Chen Changsheng, who claimed to be the first in the university entrance examination, must be the focus of all eyes in today's examination room. For real favorites like Gou Hanshi and Tianhai Shengxue, not many people pay attention to them, because everyone knows that these two young practitioners who have passed through the Nether Realm are very strong, but no one knows about Chen Changsheng's current situation.

Everyone in Kyoto knew that at least ten days ago, Chen Changsheng had not successfully cleansed his marrow. So what was the strength of his spiritual consciousness? Is there a destiny star? If the destiny star is successful, why can't the marrow be cleansed for so long? Does this mean that the strength of his consciousness is very bad?

People are very curious about how far he can go in the imperial examination. For example, if he can pass this Boiled Forest, at least he won't be eliminated in the martial arts test.

Chen Changsheng never thought that he would be eliminated, especially after knowing the specific rules of this year's martial arts test.

He sat under a weeping pine tree on the edge of the holly bush, with his eyes closed and his legs crossed, his palms hanging slightly, and his consciousness had left his body and penetrated deep into the forest.

The barrier formed by the green trees and the dense roads between the barriers, through the perception of his spiritual consciousness, become a blurry image in his sea of ​​consciousness. All real scenery changes color and changes light in his perception. Ordinary people will definitely see it when they see it. It feels very strange, but it is not too difficult for practitioners to deconstruct and reconstruct these into real pictures.

Especially for those practitioners with strong and stable spiritual consciousness.

Chen Changsheng's spiritual consciousness is very strong and stable, otherwise his destiny star would not be in such a far away place, otherwise Luoluo would not climb over the wall from Baicao Garden to the National Education Academy to find him.

He closed his eyes and used his spiritual consciousness to sense the road in the forest. It didn't take long to complete the exploration of several acres of forest within the entrance.

It has to be said that the design of the Great Examination is very exquisite. The process of perceiving this forest sea with spiritual consciousness is very similar to the process of finding the destiny star and sitting and taking a picture. From the perspective of the question maker, it can be inferred, or it can be explained that the candidates may At least you have to cultivate to the state of sitting and lighting before you can get out of this forest sea.

Chen Changsheng suddenly thought that Wang Zhice often played this game when he was studying. Did he want to use this method to train the strength of his spiritual consciousness? Everyone in the mainland knows that Wang Zhice's spiritual consciousness is not strong, otherwise he would not have started practicing until middle age.

His consciousness was floating in the woods. At the same time, there are many Taoist consciousnesses floating in the forest. He vaguely felt the existence of those spiritual consciousnesses, but was unable to communicate with them. As his spiritual consciousness continued to penetrate deeper into the forest, he even sensed more and more people. It turned out that many candidates were still trapped in the cooking forest. inside.

The scholars in Huaiyuan closed their eyes and meditated, their brows furrowed, and the other candidates also closed their eyes tightly, with a somewhat painful look on their faces - only after using their spiritual senses to explore all the areas of Zhishilin, and took this large picture of Chaoyang Garden, Only by keeping this in mind can you start to make calculations and find a feasible path - this is a difficult thing for these young people with limited years of practice.

At this moment, Gou Hanshi walked towards the forest. Tianhai Shengxue was only a moment later and started to walk as well. After a while, the two of them disappeared among the new buds of early spring.

Tongyoujing is indeed different.

…

…

Zhaowen Hall is very quiet.

After the literary test, the bishop, Mo Yu, King Chen Liu, and important figures like Mao Qiuyu all came to the palace. From time to time, priests from the palace came to report the situation of the martial test and the news that Gou Hanshi and Tian Haisheng walked into Lin Hai. , did not cause any waves, which is how Tongyou Realm should be. In their opinion, Gou Hanshi and Tianhai Shengxue were a little too cautious.

Not long after Gou Hanshi and Tianhai Shengxue entered Linhai, a candidate walked out of Zhushilin and completed the first half of the martial arts test.

That person is Liang Banhu, the fifth of the seven laws of the Kingdom of God.

The big shots in the palace were not surprised by this. They were well aware of the level of candidates taking part in this year's imperial examination. Apart from Gou Hanshi, the remaining three young men from the Lishan Sword Sect were already outstanding. No matter who walked out of the cooking hall first. Shi Lin was all normal. Only King Chen Liu asked curiously: "Where is Guan Feibai?"

The person who walked out of Zhu Shilin next was not Guan Feibai, but... Zhuang Changyu.

This time, the atmosphere in the palace finally changed. People looked at Mao Qiuyu, and King Chen Liu smiled and congratulated him a few times. It is obvious that Zhuang Changyu did not relax his practice after defeating Qijian. In terms of the strength of his spiritual consciousness, he was demoted to the eleventh place on the Qingyun Ranking by Tianji Pavilion, and he obviously has the strength of the top ten.

"Guan Feibai couldn't get first place, and he couldn't even get second place. I don't know how angry he should be."

The dean of the Ligong Affiliated Hospital said sarcastically that people in Zhou Dynasty had always had mixed feelings about the disciples of the southern sect.

The assessment in the first half of the martial arts test was not based on who walked out of Zhuoshilin first, but on the length of time it took to pass through Zhuoshilin. At this time, people in Zhaowen Hall had already obtained the time starting record and knew that Liang Banhu, Guan Feibai, Zhuang Changyu and others set off at the same time. At this time, Zhuang Changyu walked out of Zhuishilin first, so he naturally lined up in front of Guan Feibai.

At this time, the examiner of the literary test shook his head and said: "Liang Banhu is not first, Zhuang Changyu is not second, and Guan Feibai can't even make it into the top three."

The dean of the Ligong Affiliated Hospital frowned slightly and said, "Do we still need to include Gou Hanshi and Young Master Tianhai?"

The examiner of the Literary Examination said: "Before you entered the palace, someone had already walked out of Zhu Shilin, and it took him one-third less time than Liang Banhu."

After hearing this, everyone was shocked and cast inquiring glances. Only the bishop sitting in the middle still had his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

Someone is actually faster than Liang Banhu, and so much faster? How strong should his consciousness be?

"Who is it?" the dean of the Ligong Affiliated Hospital asked in surprise.

"The registered name is Zhang Tingtao. Of course, everyone knows who he is."

The examiner looked at the dean of Star Reaching Academy and joked: "Even if you use a pseudonym, this name is too common."

The dean of Star Reaching Academy followed the consistent style of the Great Zhou soldiers and said without any secret, "He is willing to fight on behalf of Star Reaching, and he can be called whatever he wants."

Everyone thought this was right.

"Angry Zhexiu..." King Chen Liu sighed: "I'm really curious about how he grew up."

The dean of the Ligong Affiliated Hospital said: "What I'm more curious about is how Chen Changsheng is doing now."

After hearing this, everyone looked at the Bishop.

The examiner said: "Chen Changsheng's literary test scores must be excellent, but I don't know who is first or second among Gou Hanshi."

Everyone thinks this is a matter of course.

The dean of the Ligong Affiliated Hospital looked at the bishop who seemed to be sleeping, and said sarcastically: "No matter how good your literary test results are, if you can't even pass the cooking test, what's the point? You will be eliminated directly, and you won't even be able to enter the top three. What else are you talking about being at the top of the list? I don’t know if anyone will be able to continue to sleep so soundly by then.”

There was silence in Zhaowen Hall, no one spoke.

In Kyoto and within the national religion, the dean of the Sixth Ivy Academy has a very special status. Big figures like Mao Qiuyu and the dean of the Rikyong Affiliated Academy do not need to be afraid of anyone. Everyone in the palace knew that the dean of the Ligong Affiliated Courtyard belonged to the new sect of the state religion. Like the bishop of the ancestral temple, he had always been close to the Tianhai family.

The announcement made by the Bishop on behalf of Chen Changsheng was undoubtedly a serious provocation to him, the Ligong Affiliated School, the Tiandao School and other colleges. It was obvious that the dean of the Li Palace Annex had begun to prepare for a counterattack. As long as Chen Changsheng fails to get the first place in the rankings, the Cardinal Office and the Bishop will inevitably be greatly questioned or even directly attacked.

As said before, if he can't even get past the cooking time, what's the point of being ranked first?

Time passed slowly. I don’t know how long it took, but a priest walked into the temple and reported: "Chen Changsheng from the National Education Academy has begun to enter the forest."

Everyone was slightly shocked when they heard this. The dean of the Ligong Affiliated Hospital raised his brows very high, as if they were about to fly up, and his eyes were full of surprise and doubt.

"How can he be faster than those people in Huaiyuan?!"
