Hua Kangan didn’t speak further, and directly removed the Jade Sea Armour from his body, acknowledging the bet and admitting defeat. He had said these words in front of so many people, even if he knelt down, he still had to swallow these words.

"Wait!" Fang Zhengzhi halted Hua Kangan, who was preparing to leave.

"I am inferior, I had lost today. All I wish to do now is pass the Law of Dao examination, then, return to practice in seclusion! If you feel that it is improper, I... will jump off the cliff!" Hua Kangan felt somewhat aggrieved.

Based on his powers, no matter where he took the examination, he would attain roll champion. However, now, he had specially rushed to the River of Trust Capital to find trouble with Fang Zhengzhi. In the end, not even mentioning attaining roll champion, even his clothes were robbed...

"You are mistaken, that’s not what I meant. You can do what you want in the Law of Dao examination, but I... feel that your sword looks not too bad." Fang Zhengzhi spoke in an embarrassed manner.

"..." Hua Kangan looked at the white jade sword on his hand, and sighed miserably. A single slip really caused everlasting sorrow. Now, even his weapon was gone.

...

After the sword was passed into Fang Zhengzhi’s hand, Fang Zhengzhi looked at Zhang Hetong.

Zhang Hetong instantly felt a sense of chill shooting up from his feet to his head, and beads of sweat quickly formed on his forehead. He instinctively tightened his grip on the book in his hands.

"This book... is my father’s lifetime of political experience, I... I..." As Zhang Hetong spoke, he started to move backwards.

"Lifetime of political experience? Are there illustrations too?" Fang Zhengzhi didn’t believe it. Reaching out his hand, he snatched over the book from Zhang Hetong’s hand.

Instantly, his eyes froze.

This thing was...

"It is indeed a political book, I just happened to intend to learn some. I’ll help you take care of it for now!" Fang Zhengzhi generously kept the book into his pocket.

Zhang Hetong looked at Fang Zhengzhi stuffing the book into his pocket, and his face instantly changed. He seemed extremely gloomy, his expression was in even more pain than having his flesh cut.

"Young Master Fang... This is... the only copy! Don’t destroy it!" Zhang Hetong discreetly wiped his tears, even his eyes appeared reddened.

"Don’t worry, we are all scholars, who would do something like destroying books!" Fang Zhengzhi waved his hand towards Zhang Hetong, yet sighed inwardly. Indeed, hard work really pays off. Having been in this world for so many years, as a person whose mental age was much bigger than his actual age, today is really a present surprise.

...

After all was well, Fang Zhengzhi returned to Yan Xiu’s side once again. Yan Xiu, on the other hand, had already been waiting beside the mountain cliff. Afterwards, the two travelled side by side. Leaping out, the easily arrived at the opposite cliff.

Then, Fang Zhengzhi turned back his head, and waved his hand towards the stunned examinees, telling them, you can start to jump now.

This scene not only shocked the examinees, even the examiners in the lounge outside the pocket dimension were completely stunned.

"Defeating Hua Kangan, who was also at Star Conglomerate, in one move?!"

"Have you all ever thought that... what if, he isn’t Star Conglomerate, is that possible?"

"This... this is too terrifying! He’s only fifteen, if he really isn’t Star Conglomerate, when this news spreads, I’m afraid that the entire Great Xia Dynasty will be tremored?"

The examiners glanced at one another with an expression of horror. Because, they didn’t dare to think in that direction. After all, in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, the people under the age of fifteen who had reached the "Heavenly Reflection State"...

There was... only one!

"Impossible, there can only be one Double Dragon Roll Champion! One Chi Guyan is already enough, how is it possible that there would be a person so monstrous?!" When Han Changfeng said this, a trace of anxiety appeared on his face for the first time.

He knew too clearly the state of the imperial affairs. On the surface, it looked calm and tranquil, but in reality, the undercurrent was strong and powerful. Once a second person who might be able to compete for the Double Dragon Roll Champion appeared, the entire balance would be broken.

Chi Guyan was very smart, she knew to seclude herself in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, away from everything. Most important, Chi Guyan had already been favourited by the current emperor, and was also the daughter of the Divine Constabulary. With such a status, nobody used to use any "special" tactics on her.

But if there was another person...

Who dared to confirm that he would be as smart as Chi Guyan.

Will the current emperor admit that he was wrong? King Duan had received the support of the Divine Constabulary, how would he allow a second Double Dragon Roll Champion to appear? The crown prince controlled the Eastern Palace, would he turn a blind eye towards a second Double Dragon Roll Champion?

Furthermore, the demon race had been hiding in the dark, how could they not act?

One move, moved the entire board. One wrong move, and the entire board would be in chaos!

...

Fang Zhengzhi felt that he should be able to progress comfortably after this, and in reality, he indeed progressed very comfortably. Because, there were already no more blind examinees who attempted to challenge him.

After all, even Hua Kangan of the Star Conglomerate had fallen...

When the examinees looked at Fang Zhengzhi again, they instinctively retreated a few steps, and maintained a minimum distance. Furthermore, they even consciously concealed the weapons and objects on their bodies well.

Only Heaven knows whether Fang Zhengzhi would suddenly get into the mood for another robbery...

The third round passed, the fourth round was also smooth.

All the way until the semi-finals did a youth wearing a white armour, with some scars on his body walked timidly towards Fang Zhengzhi.

"Young... Young Master Fang, please... please show mercy..." The youth instinctively retreated two steps as he spoke, and was deep in panic.

Fang Zhengzhi smiled faintly at the youth, and slowly, a step at a time, advanced towards the youth.

On the other hand, the youth retreated continuously, but, his pace of retreat was slightly slower than that of Fang Zhengzhi’s advance. This way, between the retreats and advances, the distance slowly closed.

Fang Zhengzhi looked very relaxed, as if he had reached into a cage and caught a Fire Plume Chicken.

The youth was extremely anxious, so anxious that sweat dripped continuously from his forehead. Even his arms were trembling.

Finally, the distance between the two closed in until they were a meter away. And at this time, the panicked expression in the youth’s eyes disappeared, and what replaced it was calm.

"Woosh!" The youth moved. His sword tactics were powerful and strong, combined with the close distance, and Fang Zhengzhi’s underestimation of his opponent. Hence, the youth was a hundred percent confident.

Just as the youth believed that his plot had succeeded.

Fang Zhengzhi suddenly bent down, and casually tightened the lace on his shoe.

"Sorry, my shoelace came loose!" Fang Zhengzhi explained without even raising his head.

On the other hand, the youth was stood rooted to the ground. His sword had stabbed out, very directly, and in a very stable manner, on top of Fang Zhengzhi’s head, bringing along with it a gust of strong wind.

Fang Zhengzhi finally raised his head, and looked at the youth with an expression filled with confusion.

"You want to sneak an attack on me?"

"Ah!" The youth was enraged. After a loophole had appeared in his plan, he didn’t have the need to conceal any further. Dropping his sword down, he slashed towards Fang Zhengzhi.

Unfortunately...

He still flew, turning into a butterfly, and spun a few rounds in mid-air.

Then, landing on the ground.

"You... saw through it?!" The youth was somewhat in disbelief. He felt that his acting was proficient.

"To be able to reach such a stage in the combat examination, how could one be as weak as that? Even if one clearly knew that there wasn’t a chance, he will still give his best, am I right? Furthermore... you defeated Hua Kangan! In order to give you this last opportunity, he had also given enough, ha ha..." Fang Zhengzhi smiled faintly.

"..." The youth sighed softly, and his eyes darkened. Finally, he crawled up from the ground, and cupped his fist towards Fang Zhengzhi. "I lost, congratulations, Young Master Fang. You have entered the finals!"

...

The time Fang Zhengzhi took to deal with this youth didn’t even amount to fifteen minutes. On the other hand, Yan Xiu’s side seemed to be even faster. Because, Yan Xiu didn’t even give his opponent the opportunity to open his mouth.

"Then, there’s only me and you left?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu who was standing not too far away.

"Yes." Yan Xiu nodded. A serious expression appeared on his face for the first time.
