Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

This was what everybody thought in their hearts. This might not be due to hate, and more likely due to pride. A person who never entered a Hall of Dao before, relying solely on self-study was able to defeat them.

Then they really had to doubt their own intelligence.

"This River of Trust Capital examination, theory examination roll champion, Northern Mountain Village, Fang Zhengzhi!" As Han Changfeng announced the two words, Fang Zhengzhi, their entire atmosphere in the venue instantly became very strange.

In reality, when they heard the three words Northern Mountain Village, they were already stunned.

"Theory examination roll champion? Fang Zhengzhi?!"

"’Fang Zhengzhi again?!"

"Really Fang Zhengzhi?!"

The mouths of all the scholars were agape. They had thought of a million possibilities, but, they had never thought that this River of Trust Capital theory examination roll champion would actually be Fang Zhengzhi.

A criminal demand order.

Talented scholars from the five capitals in the Northern Desert left their four capitals, and entered the one River of Trust Capital.

But even so, they still couldn’t prevent Fang Zhengzhi from attaining roll champion of the theory examination?

How was this possible that talented scholars from the five capitals of the Northern Desert, would actually lose to a village youth which nobody knew, who had even never stepped into a Hall of Dao before?

"I don’t believe!" A voice rang out from the crowd.

"Yes, I don’t believe either!" Another voice followed closely.

Nobody believed, and nobody was willing to believe. If Fang Zhengzhi attained the roll champion of the county examination, it could still be explained using luck.

But, even when scholars from the five capitals gathered at the River of Trust Capital, he was still able to attain the theory examination roll champion.

Nobody believed that such a thing was possible.

"Actually, when I saw the name on the examination paper, I was just as shocked as you all, and also believed that such a thing was possible. Recalling the past when I studied hard for ten years before being able to attain top three in the capital examination, I indeed feel rather hesitant."

Han Changfeng wasn’t at all enraged by the voices of the scholars, and instead his expression was filled with calm.

When the crowd heard his words, they quietened down. Because, Han Changfeng reflected the hearts of the crowd, everybody had studied in an academy or Hall of Dao, and worked studiously each day.

Yet, they weren’t able to compare to a village youth who didn’t even enter a Hall of Dao, how could they accept this?

"But if I tell you about an incident, I believe your thoughts might change!" Han Changfeng saw that the crowd went silent, and continued to speak.

"An incident?"

"Don’t tell me Fang Zhengzhi has something else that is even more shocking?"

"He is just a normal village youth!"

The crowd was confused, but still waited silently for Han Changfeng to speak.

"Eight years ago, the Divine Constabulary was spreading Dao when they passed by the Southern Mountain Village of the Huai An County, and coincidentally brought along an Illustration of All Creation into the mountain village to spread Dao!" As Han Changfeng spoke, his tone was actually slightly moved.

"Eight years ago? Illustration of All Creation?!"

Everybody looked at each other, not understanding what was the reason Han Changfeng was bring up this incident at this moment. But, the four words, Illustration of All Creation, caused everybody to have thought of a possibility.

But, this possibility quickly vanished in a flash.

Eight years ago? How old was Fang Zhengzhi? Only six or seven...

How was that possible!

As the crowd was filled with doubt, nobody noticed a person who had initially turned around and prepared to leave, suddenly stood rooted to the ground.

It was Li Zhuangshi.

After one day of suffering, he had finally decided to stay. Because, he wanted to see how far Fang Zhengzhi could go.

Previously, when he heard that Fang Zhengzhi was the roll champion, he had already prepared to leave silently.

But, Han Changfeng’s words caused him to stay once again.

Eight years ago, the scene of the Divine Constabulary bringing the Illustration of All Creation to the Southern Mountain Village appeared in front of his eyes. Then, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

Because...

He knew very clearly what had happened at that time.

Could it be, the Illustration of All Creation was really solved? It was Fang Zhengzhi... the six-year-old Fang Zhengzhi!

But, at that time...

At the time, even the Hall of Dao wasn’t established? He had never even come into contact with books, this... solving the Illustration of All Creation? How was this possible, how was this possible...

Li Zhuangshi’s heart was in an intense struggle, and fixated his gate on Han Changfeng’s body. He wanted to hear Han Changfeng finish his words, stand out and tell Han Changfeng that at that time, there wasn’t even a Hall of Dao in the Southern Mountain Village.

And Fang Zhengzhi, at that time, hadn’t even started to self-study...

How was that possible?!

"I guess that all of you wouldn’t want to believe this, but the fact is, eight years ago, that Illustration of All Creation was solved on the spot. And at that time, Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t in the Northern Mountain Village, and instead belonged to the Southern Mountain Village!" When Han Changfeng said this, his expression also seemed to change slightly.

A six-year-old solving the Illustration of All Creation. Since the dawn of history, only that girl from the Divine Constabulary had managed to do it.

Even though he didn’t witness it personally, but when he thought of a village kid causing the Illustration of All Creation, which had baffled countless talents and scholars, to radiate with light, even he was unable to maintain his calm.

Six-year-old, what kind of monstrous talent was that!

The crowd’s mouth opened again, their eyes completely round. But, compared to their previous shock, this time, it was a sense of horror that came from deep within their souls.

Li Zhuangshi’s face was flushed red.

He had personally witnessed the scene that day. But, wasn’t that due to the sunlight? It really was Fang Zhengzhi, the six-year-old Fang Zhengzhi?!

Seemed like...

From the start, he was already destined to lose.

But what was laughable was that he still racked his brains trying to plot against the Fang family.

How laughable, how ignorant.

Yan Xiu’s gaze also turned towards Fang Zhengzhi, but this time, in his eyes, a rare expression of shock appeared, as if he had seen a scary monster.

"I believe my meaning should be very clear? Then, does anybody now still have any doubts about Fang Zhengzhi attaining roll champion in the theory examination?" As he spoke, Han Changfeng’s gaze swept across the crowd, and finally landed on Fang Zhengzhi’s body.

In reality, everybody’s gaze was trained on Fang Zhengzhi.

Solving the Illustration of All Creation at six years of age!

How terrifying was that!

Within the crowd, Fang Zhengzhi stood silently on the spot. Looking at the gazes that fixated onto him from all directions, he felt slightly taken aback.

He indeed had never thought that Han Changfeng would send people to investigate him? Furthermore, uncovering the incident eight years ago when he solved the Illustration of All Creation.

This was Fang Zhengzhi’s biggest secret.

But within a matter of three days, Han Changfeng had managed to uncover his biggest secret? It didn’t matter how he did it, but, now, this secret was already revealed to the world. Then, from now on, he was going to be at a place where the wind and the waves are the fiercest, the heart of struggles.

The previous county examination, there was already the incident of a demon using the Law of Dao examination to kill human talents occurring.

With Han Changfeng’s experiences, shouldn’t he have been able to consider this aspect?

Then, revealing this under thousands of staring eyes, it was probably not only for explaining the theory examination roll champion? With Han Changfeng’s reputation, being the chief examiner of the capital examination and personally deciding the theory examination roll champion, even if he didn’t explain, so what?

When Fang Zhengzhi thought of this, he instinctively forced his gaze towards Han Changfeng’s eyes. He really wished to know why did this Imperial Academy’s Chief Imperial Messenger would reveal this secret in front of the entire crowd...

What were his motives?!
