Gate of God

Chapter 65: Twenty Names of the Roll

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Very quickly, rows of densely packed names appeared on the roll stone, below it, there was a row of tiny register numbers. It felt as if it was carved.

It was extremely miraculous.

Fang Zhengzhi twitched his mouth. He already didn’t feel shocked encountering such situations.

The Dao of All Creations originated from man, controlling All Creations.

Names appearing on the roll stone seemed extremely strange, but having to do so in reality wasn’t very hard. One just needed to use the Dao of All Creation to modify the arrangements of the stone particles within the stone to achieve this.

The roll stone was specially made, the square-shaped stone was naturally specially made as well. Pressing these two pieces of stone against each other, then making some modifications would achieve such an effect.

"Have, have!"

When the names on the roll stone gradually became clearer, excitement started to grow within everybody. One by one, they widened their eyes, trying to find their names on the roll stone.

"Got it, I got it!"

"Ha ha ha... I made it to the roll!"

One by one, voices started to call out, then, the people who made it to the roll celebrated happily, while those who didn’t sighed with sorry. There were also a few who congratulated those who made it on the roll.

There were also people who consoled those who didn’t make it to the roll.

"Your brother is lucky this time, brother, you cannot be discouraged. Two years later we’ll compete again!"

"Brother don’t be discouraged, with your talents, you just need to work hard to do better after you go back, study hard, and you will definitely do well!"

Fang Zhengzhi was looking at the individual names, then a wave of laughter sounded out beside his ear.

"Ha ha ha... I, Li Huer, made it as well. I made it!"

"My name, that’s my name, Meng Jiangshan, ha ha ha... I have seen my name too!"

Evidently, these two voices came from Li Huer and Meng Jiangshan respectively. Both of them made it to the roll, while among the other Southern Mountain Village examinees, none of them managed to make it.

"Not bad, Huer! Jiangshan, you have definitely fulfilled your grandfather’s dreams this time!" Li Huer instantly spoke to encourage these two people, then turned around and consolidated the Southern Mountain Village people who didn’t make it.

Finally, his gaze landed on Fang Zhengzhi.

"Zhengzhi, don’t be discouraged! We already expected you not to make it to the roll, when you go back, you have to continue studying hard. If you really can’t, you can still continue to go hunting! The Northern Mountain Village needs you!"

"That’s right, the Law of Dao examination actually doesn’t suit you. You have another path to walk, for example, being the deputy captain of the hunting squad or something. Who knows, you might even be able to become a good village chief!" Li Huer also consolidated him by the side.

Meng Jiangshan didn’t speak, and patted Fang Zhengzhi’s shoulder like an elder brother, a comforting expression appearing on his face.

On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t worried at all.

This was only the Second-Class Roll. If his name was really on the roll, that was what would truly be unexpected. Based on his abilities, how could he end up on the Second-Class Roll like Li Huer and the rest?

"Zhengzhi, you must face reality, don’t be too arrogant! Your Uncle Li also entered the Second-Class Roll previously. We are crude people, those who can enter the First-Class Roll are reputable scholars and martial arts families. People like us simply don’t have the chance!" Li Zhuangshi, assuming the role as an experienced man, began to "reconcile" Fang Zhengzhi.

Very quickly, Li Zhuangshi and Li Huer’s voice attracted the attention of the examinees around them.

When the examinees turned their heads around, they finally identified Fang Zhengzhi. After all, the incident of Fang Zhengzhi reporting Meng Yushu in the examination venue was still fresh in their minds.

In addition to the incident when Fang Zhengzhi unveiled Yun Qingwu’s veil in the Hundred Flower Gathering, and being seen together with Yan Xiu at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, the amount of people paying attention to him naturally became quite numerous.

It could be said that now, Fang Zhengzhi’s reputation had already shook the entire Huai An County, and became the first famous person in this time’s Law of Dao examination. Except, during the Hundred Flower Gathering and at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, nobody knew Fang Zhengzhi’s name.

Hence, the effect wasn’t as large.

"Ha ha ha... looks like this guy didn’t make the roll?"

"That’s for sure, he’s a sleeper! Sleeping for over an hour, how can he make the roll?"

"Indeed, he’s hurting himself, how is he going to live like his!"

The examinees one by one started to discuss about Fang Zhengzhi, especially those who didn’t make the roll, venting their emotions.

In the middle of the discussion, a group of people appeared from afar.

The leader was a youth dressed in a yellow brocade robe, with a sword at his waist. Behind him, a few armoured bodyguards followed.

It was Meng Yushu and his bodyguards.

"It’s Meng Yushu!"

"Meng Yushu’s results in the first round of theory examination had already been forfeited, what is he doing here?"

"Ha ha ha... let’s sit back and enjoy the show!"

When the crowd of examinees saw Meng Yushu appear, they were slightly taken aback. Immediately after, they seemed to have thought of something. Shifting their gaze back to Fang Zhengzhi, an evil delight in watching the fires burning across the river began to appear.

"Hey! Isn’t this Young Master Fang, Fang Zhengzhi? Did you enter the roll?" Meng Yushu smiled slightly. He didn’t bother to conceal his intentions, he was here to watch Fang Zhengzhi, hence naturally directly walked over beside Fang Zhengzhi.

"He didn’t!"

"He didn’t make the roll!"

Before Fang Zhengzhi had the chance to reply, other examinees instantly began to reply enthusiastically to court Meng Yushu’s favour.

"Ha ha ha... didn’t make it? Why did this happen? Taking into account your talents and skills, you should definitely make it! Ah, this is only the Second-Class Roll? Don’t worry Young Master Fang, the First-Class Roll isn’t released yet!" Listening to the surrounding voices, Meng Yushu instantly consolidated Fang Zhengzhi, his expression filled with concern.

"Releasing the First-Class Roll, twenty roll members!"

At this moment, the result official announced once again.

After which, the result official once again retrieved a square-shaped stone from his pockets and walked in front of the other roll stone. Very quickly, the roll stone representing the First-Class Roll began to emanate faint rays of golden light.

Hearing this, the examinees all shifted their attention from Fang Zhengzhi to the First-Class Roll roll stone.

After all, whoever managed to make the First-Class Roll would definitely be renowned scholars. Out of the few thousand examinees, only the top twenty were selected. They could be said to be the best of the best.

Even though it was only the county examinations, being able to enter the First-Class Roll in the theory examination was definitely something that would receive invitations from all around. If the person’s age was young enough, they would likely be given the opportunity to be personally nurtured by a few powerhouses.

With a flash of golden light, twenty names instantly began to appear.

What was different from the Second-Class Roll was that the names of the people on the First-Class Roll were much larger, and it even included a brief overview, such as where one was born, which Hall of Dao did one come from, previous contributions, whose recommendation did one receive and so on.

One just had to take a single look at it to know that it was definitely more than one grade above the Second-Class Roll.
