Chapter 73: Luck Coming to an End

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

What was this about?

Nobody understood why Meng Yushu would slip, then, after slipping… just happened to smash into Fang Zhengzhi’s fist.

The entire venue was silent…

Everybody stared, stunned, at Fang Zhengzhi, who was unhurriedly pulling back his fist.

Defeated?! Meng Yushu defeated? How did he get defeated?

On the judging panel, the county head wearing an official robe’s eyes turned around with shock. Staring at Fang Zhengzhi standing on the stand, and then shifting gaze to the middle-aged scholar sitting by his side.

He similarly didn’t understand what had just transpired.

On the other hand, meeting the county head’s gaze, the middle-aged scholar also shook his head. His expression was the same as the county head, in absolute disbelief.

"I see!" At this moment, Imperial Messenger Qin mumbled softly.

"What did Imperial Messenger see?" The county head turned his head towards Imperial Messenger Qin.

"Hmm, it can be said that I see, and also don’t see. County Head Wang, look there!" Imperial Messenger Qin pointed towards the right side of the stage in front of Fang Zhengzhi as he spoke.

"Stone?!" County Head Wang stared, then was suddenly taken aback. "You say, just now he…"

"That’s right, but, whether this stone was originally on the stage, or was thrown by him onto the stage, I don’t know…" Imperial Messenger Qin looked deep in thought.

"But this doesn’t make sense! This is only the first round, the possibility of a stone appearing on top isn’t large! Furthermore, even if there really was a stone, how could he be so sure that Meng Yushu would definitely step on that stone, and, be so sure that the position Meng Yushu would fall towards, would definitely be where he placed his fist?" As the county head thought, things seemed even more impossible. But, the more impossible it seemed, the more shock he felt.

Because, this was easy to say, but to really carry this out, it was insanely hard.

"I don’t know, but he indeed did it… didn’t he?" Imperial Messenger Qin shook his head.

The county head didn’t speak further. But when he shifted his gaze back towards Fang Zhengzhi, a complicated expression appeared in his eyes. Indeed, as Imperial Messenger Qin said, no matter how it happened, Fang Zhengzhi had really managed to do it…

The gaze of the middle-aged scholar was at this moment fixated upon the small stone on the stage, then, looking at the unconscious Meng Yushu below the stage, an icy glow appeared in his eyes.

The examinees naturally overheard the conversation at the judging panel and finally noticed the "unwelcomed guest" on the stage.

"Stone?!"

"A piece of stone?"

All of the examinees exchanged glances at one another, and were at a loss for words.

Meng Yushu tripped over a stone, then coincidentally smashed onto Fang Zhengzhi’s fist, and then… sent flying?

This was the truth?

But the truth was a little too inconceivable?!

"The first round, Fang Zhengzhi wins!" Regaining his senses, the invigilator quickly announced Fang Zhengzhi’s win.

But, below the stage, was nothing but silence. Because, none of the examinees were able to understand how something so coincidental could occur in this world.

"Coincidence?" Yan Xiu’s lips parted slightly, then, slowly shook his head. The Golden Bone Silver Thread Fan on his hands hurriedly fanned a few times, then gradually calmed down.

…

"Fang Zhengzhi, isn’t your luck a little too good?" Li Huer and Meng Jiangshan stared at Fang Zhengzhi who walked down from the stage and returned back to his seat, their eyes filled with envy.

Fang Zhengzhi spitefully twitched his mouth. Faced with such a question, he indeed couldn’t be bothered to reply.

But, this expression when seen by Li Huer and Meng Yushu, seemed like he was powerless to dispute.

"Alright, no matter how good your luck is, it will finally end one day!" Li Huer and Meng Yushu could only believe this.

…

Afterwards, the competitions became rather dull.

Most of it was a battle of brute strength, or using some weird tactics. Li Huer and Meng Jiangshan were somewhat bored, but, Fang Zhengzhi watched with great interest.

It was the simplest moves that consisted of the greatest imagination.

For example, a man wearing a blue robe employed the move "Rhinoceros Gazing at the Moon", even though there was neither a rhinoceros nor a moon, the main point was the groin kick that followed right after "Rhinoceros Gazing at the Moon". That move was rather incredible.

Instantly causing his opponent to kneel over and beg for mercy.

There is always something to learn from everyone. All along, Fang Zhengzhi fought with a learning mentality. That was also why he allowed Meng Yushu to demonstrate two moves.

Afterwards, Meng Yushu and Li Huer seemed to have rather bad luck.

Because, being at the bottom of the theory examination, naturally they faced the attack of the tempest.

After shouting out "Heaven killed me!", Meng Jiangshan fell from the stage. His mouth was filled with mud and seemed battered and exhausted.

On the other hand, Li Huer was rather brave and fierce, his fists carrying the sound of the wind and in spite of the opponent causing him to be completely unable to fight back, he managed to push his opponent below the stage.

"I won, I won!"

Li Huer simply couldn’t contain his happiness. But, if this was accompanied by two huge panda eyes, it became rather unsightly.

Finally, the first round ended.

Among the top three of the theory examination, Fang Zhengzhi, as the top of the theory roll, defeated Meng Yushu and successfully entered the second while. On the other hand, Zheng Xinzhao’s luck wasn’t very good.

Because, Li Bowei actually challenged him in the first round.

Then, an incredible and outstanding battle unfolded. Each move was fatal and deadly, and every step was tense. Finally, Zheng Xinzhao finally lost. Unfortunately, he even suffered a heavy injury.

From what it seemed like, Li Bowei seemed to be overly pressured by Zheng Xinzhao and almost fell off the stage, then, flicking his sword, he just happened to accidentally cut Zheng Xinzhao’s wrist.

His meridians were instantly cut!

This also meant that in the future, it would definitely extremely hard for Zheng Xinzhao to improve in the combat examination. But, this accident happened on the stage, and everybody had witnessed the situation that unfolded. Hence, nobody overly questioned Li Bowei’s actions.

"Gong!" The second round of the combat examination started.

Fang Zhengzhi’s performance in the theory examination was incredible, no matter whether he won this round or not, he could still pass the Law of Dao examination. However, this was not the case for Li Huer. He only managed to enter the Second-Class Roll in the theory examination, hence, needed to advance another round.

What was different from the first round was that the fight wasn’t determined by "leader" and "follower" anymore, and instead was decided based on drawing lots.

After all, the method of choosing leader and follower was only appropriate to filter out people in the first round. Its main purpose was to use the fastest method to eliminate the ones people considered weak.

Only after successfully filtering out the fish in troubled water could the real competition become even more wonderful.

After lots were drawn, matched names very quickly appeared on the two roll stones.

After which…

Li Huer’s expression turned rather ugly. Because, he knew the person whose name was matched with his, and moreover, he was extremely familiar with him. His name was: Fang Zhengzhi!

"Sigh, brother Huer is right, indeed, my luck has finally come to an end…" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the Li Huer’s dejected expression and sighed gloomily, his eyes filled with laughter.
