Chapter 185: Who's going out first?
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
"That’s right, a second chance. A chance for you to retake the exam." Fang Zhengzhi explained.
"Another chance?! Then... what do I need to do?" Wang Chuanping finally understood what was going on. He was not dumb, a price must be paid for what he wanted.
"It is very simple. All you have to do is challenge that fella!" Fang Zhengzhi casually pointed towards the crowd.
The entire crowd became tense.
Then, everyone’s gaze looked towards where Fang Zhengzhi was pointing.
The entire crowd was stunned.
Because...
Fang Zhengzih was pointing at Su Donglin?!
"How is that possible? How can Wang Chuanping challenge Su Donglin?"
"Isn’t that asking Wang Chuanping to kill himself?"
"This is the second chance?"
No one could believe what they were seeing. But, Fang Zhengzhi was pointing at Su Donglin, and everyone could see it clearly.
Su Donglin squinted. Naturally, he heard the conversation between Fang Zhengzhi and Wang Chuanping, and saw where Fang Zhengzhi was pointing at.
In an instant, he knew what Fang Zhengzhi was trying.
"So, he wants to use Wang Chuanping as a stepping stone?" Su Donglin decided.
It was easy to guess. He had already made it clear to everyone that he wanted Fang Zhengzhi out in the first round.
Now, Fang Zhengzhi was sending someone to challenge Su Donglin, so that he could send Su Donglin into the second round.
That meant that Su Donglin could not find trouble with him in the first round.
The other candidates also understood what was going on. But it was quite the shameless move.
"Isn’t this quite shameless?"
"He’s using Wang Chuanping as a shield!"
All of the candidates were furious. However, they couldn’t do anything because Ping Yang, with her Red Flame Flower Armor was standing next to Fang Zhengzhi.
Just moments before, Ping Yang had taken Fang Zhengzhi’s side. This was something no one had expected, but something they had to consider.
Wang Chuanping was filled with fear. He too was keenly aware of what was going on.
"Fang, Young Master Fang... you must be joking. Su Donglin is in the advanced stages of the Heavenly Reflection State, I... how can I beat him?"
Wang Chuanping knew that he was in no position to bargain, but, if this was his second chance, it was as good as nothing.
"You definitely can’t defeat him, but with me, we can." Fang Zhengzhi smiled.
"You?!" Wang Chuanping was stunned.
He did not understand what Fang Zhengzhi was saying. If Fang Zhengzhi wanted to use him as a stepping stone, then, Fang Zhengzhi had no reason to fight.
But...
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to fight?
What is the logic here?
When the other students heard what Fang Zhengzhi said, they too were confused. Even Su Donglin was confused.
Wang Chuanping and Fang Zhengzhi teaming up?
Two elementary stage Heavenly Reflection cultivators, one of whom recently broke through, want to fight an advanced stage Heavenly Reflection State Su Donglin?
Is this not courting death?
No one understood what was going on. With Fang Zhengzhi’s stellar performance in the Theory Examinations, he did not need to take such a risk.
Does he not want to pass the Imperial Examinations?
Then, at this point, Yan Xiu, who was standing next to Fang Zhengzhi, spoke up.
"And me!" Yan Xiu’s tone was cold, but incredibly firm.
Everyone thought that Fang Zhengzhi was planning to use Wang Chuanping as a stepping stone, but Yan Xiu knew he would not do that.
Fang Zhengzhi had no reason to do it.
Pass one round?
That was not something Fang Zhengzhi would consider. Fang Zhengzhi’s first priority was always to remove the ‘obstacles’.
This was the same thing he did in the River of Trust Province Examinations.
Since Su Donglin had already said that he will knock Fang Zhengzhi out in the first round, why would Fang Zhengzhi let him pass the first round?
This sounded quite unbelievable, but Yan Xiu believed that Fang Zhengzhi could do it.
Ping Yang smiled radiantly.
Her petite face lit up bright red with excitement.
"You three want to battle Su Donglin? Sure, I want to join too!" As she spoke, she waved the Blazing Qilin Spear animatedly.
The candidates who were mocking Fang Zhengzhi were all stunned.
This was not a simple 2v1.
This was...
"A 4v1?!"
"Princess Ping Yang, Yan Xiu, Fang Zhengzhi, Wang Chuanping... four against one Su Donglin?"
"How... shameless!"
The other candidates finally reacted. Actually, they had already reacted ever since Fang Zhengzhi spoke to Wang Chuanping.
They should have thought that it would end it a 4v1?
This was even more shameless than using Wang Chuanping as a stepping stone.
Initially, Su Donglin had thought that Fang Zhengzhi was just prolonging his time here. Now, his expression changed as he looked at Ping Yang and Fang Zhengzhi.
If it was just Fang Zhengzhi, Yan Xiu, and Wang Chuanping, he may not have thought much of it. But with Princess Ping Yang in the picture, he had a problem on his hands.
He knew how ridiculously powerful the Blazing Qilin Spear was.
Furthermore, Ping Yang was protected by the Red Flame Flower Armor.
More importantly...
No matter how daring he was, he wouldn’t dare to injure Ping Yang!
"Fang Zhengzhi, do you really want to do this lopsided fight?" Su Donglin felt that no matter how shameless a person, they must have their boundaries. A 2v1 was shameless enough.
Now, it was going to be a 4v1.
Was there anything more shameless?
This was completely ridiculous.
"I think that a 4v1... sounds great!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
He did not think that there was anything wrong with this. He wanted Su Dongping out of the combat examinations. A 2v1 and a 4v1 made little difference.
As for being a gentleman...
That was not something he valued.
"You..." Su Donglin’s expression darkened. All this while, he had been plotting how to get rid of Fang Zhengzhi in the first round.
But now...
He was about to be kicked out?!
