Chapter 111: Don’t give up your life
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
It was just an armour.
Fang Zhengzhi felt that compared to Yan Xiu’s trust, there was simply no competition. Even though he had full confidence of retaining a person, but he still wouldn’t use the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan to take this risk.
Anyway, the combat examination didn’t ban examinees from fighting.
Hence, why not be more direct. Whoever’s fist was the toughest, was the winner!
Fang Zhengzhi indeed didn’t feel that there was any sort of bullying or other improper conduct. After all, he knew very clearly the reason why Hua Kangan and the rest came to the River of Trust Capital. Since they would have to fight sooner or later, he who struck first had the advantage.
On the other hand, when Hua Kangan heard Fang Zhengzhi’s words, he was completely stunned.
"If I don’t bet, all three of us wouldn’t pass?!" After a moment a shock, Hua Kangan laughed. He had never imagined that somebody would actually dare to say such words in front of his face.
Regardless of whether it was the Hua family, or the talents in the five capitals of the Northern Desert, he had always been the best among them. It could be said that other than that pride of the Heavens Chi Guyan, he had never been afraid of anybody in the Northern Desert.
But today…
What did he just encounter! This was very clearly a robbery!
The grand number twenty in the Hidden Dragon Roll, a genius of the Star Conglomerate State, being robbed in the capital Law of Dao examinations? Furthermore, robbed by someone who only had the ability of Divine Seal?
Hua Kangan laughed so hard that his body started to tremble. His expression turned even colder.
"Ha ha ha… Fang Zhengzhi, are you trying to rob me?" Hua Kangan almost cramped in laughter.
And at this moment, the examinees who had passed the first round also followed up. However, when they witnessed such a scene in front of them, they were instantly astonished.
"Heavens, what did I just hear? Fang Zhengzhi seems to be robbing Hua Kangan?!"
"Is there something wrong? Shouldn’t it be Hua Kangan robbing Fang Zhengzhi?"
"This Fang Zhengzhi is indeed arrogant and unrestrained. Doesn’t he know who Hua Kangan is? There is a world of difference between the Star Conglomerate State and the Divine Seal State!"
"Could it be that after winning Cai Yongfeng, he became dizzy with success?"
As the examinees heard Hua Kangan’s words, a mocking expression appeared on their faces.
"Alright, robbery!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Hua Kangan laughing so joyfully, and thought that later on he was about to forcefully remove his clothes, hence decided to be more or less cooperative.
"Ha ha ha… Fang Zhengzhi, if you have the ability to rob me today, not even mentioning the Jade Sea Armour, everything on my body, feel free to take them. I won’t pursue the matter afterwards!" Hua Kangan bent over with laughter.
"I, Zhang Hetong, will also give you anything you want which I have on my body, as long as you are able to rob me!" Zhang Hetong also cooperated, laughing wildly.
"Brother Hua, Brother Zhang, why bother with him? Fang Zhengzhi all you did was rely on the rockfall matrix to defeat Cai Yongfeng, don’t become dizzy with success. I’m going to cross this mountain cliff of the second round right now, let me see how you stop me!"
Tang Yulong heard their words and stood out. When he looked at Fang Zhengzhi, his expression was filled with contempt. In reality, he had never looked straight at Fang Zhengzhi before.
When Zhang Hetong saw Tang Yulong’s actions, he instinctively reached out his hand, but finally withdrew it. He also wanted to see what abilities did Fang Zhengzhi have to retain all of them.
Hua Kangan also didn’t speak. He indeed planned to surround and kill Fang Zhengzhi in the third round, but since Fang Zhengzhi had sent himself to them, he didn’t mind carrying this out in the second round.
Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi, and calmly took a step back, forming a path.
On the other hand, the instant Yan Xiu withdrew, Tang Yulong moved.
His speed was extremely fast, just like a black panther, bypassing Fang Zhengzhi with blazing speed and ran straight towards the mountain cliff in front.
The second round of examination was different from the first round.
If it was said that one could rely on knowledge and understanding of matrixes and formations to pass the first round, then there was completely no method to use such tactics to pass the second round. What mattered is true power.
Leaping over the cliff in the world of gravity!
The level of difficulty could be imagined.
If one didn’t have an extremely high level of confidence in his control over his body, then this jump…
Would really be very exciting.
When the examinees saw that Tang Yulong was about to leap, they instantly became excited. Nobody knew how hard the second round was.
However, if it was Tang Yulong, there definitely wouldn’t be a problem.
After all, with the ability of a number thirty-five in the Hidden Dragon Roll, passing the capital examination simply wasn’t a problem.
Hence…
The examinees looked very carefully, fixating their gazes on Tang Yulong and attempting to memorise all his actions. Because, they all wished to see what method did Tang Yulong employ to jump over the cliff.
Then, Tang Yulong prepared to leap.
However, some people appeared in the field of vision of the crowd in a very untimely manner.
"Young Master Tang, don’t jump! If you jump, you will fall!" Fang Zhengzhi stood behind Tang Yulong and furiously waved his hands, his face filled with sincerity.
Tang Yulong turned around and glanced at Fang Zhengzhi, and revealed a contemptuous expression. How could this tiny cliff bother him, Tang Yulong?
Accelerating, Tang Yulong arrived at the side of the cliff. Then, with a deep squat, he leapt up and flew into the air, his posture extremely light and graceful.
When the examinees saw the posture and height in Tang Yulong’s leap, as well as his calm and composed expression in mid-air, they instantly felt a deep sense of admiration.
"Indeed, he is a talent, number thirty-five of the Hidden Dragon Roll!"
"If I am half as good as him, I won’t have to worry about this capital examination anymore…"
"Indeed too amazing!" A few female examinees who had passed the first round saw Tang Yulong’s light and graceful actions instantly began to squeal.
And right at this moment, an untimely voice instantly shattered this beautiful scene.
"Young Master Fang, come back quick!"
As the examinees were taken aback, they realised that Fang Zhengzhi had followed closely behind Tang Yulong and leapt up, pouncing towards Tang Yulong.
This moment, the examinees completely lost their senses.
What was this about?
Don’t tell me the annual synchronised cliff jumping event was showing? Just as they pondered, the examinees realised that something wasn’t quite right.
Tang Yulong’s posture in the air was filled with grace, however, Fang Zhengzhi was like a falling leaf being blown around in the air, waving his hands and legs and gliding through the air.
"Young Master Tang, I will save you!" Fang Zhengzhi shouted as he glided. However, very strrangely, even though his actions didn’t seem very beautiful, but yet he didn’t fall down towards the cliff, and instead glided higher and higher.
A while later, he surpassed Tang Yulong’s height.
At this moment, Tang Yulong was focusing his attention on controlling the wind. His feet stepped on a gust of wind, and concentrated a stream of air onto his hands, turning into twin turbines as thin as a cicada’s wings.
Then, he suddenly heard Fang Zhengzhi’s "I will save you".
Instantly, he got a shock. Because, Fang Zhengzhi’s voice was really too close to his.
"Don’t tell me Fang Zhengzhi had also jumped?!" As Tang Yulong thought, he instinctively turned his head back.
And realised that there wasn’t anyone behind him. Looks like it was a misperception, how could Fang Zhengzhi jump? Most importantly, he wouldn’t be able to complete the jump!
However…
Very mysteriously, not too far away, Hua Kangan seemed to be trying to convey something to him. Furthermore, not only Hua Kangan, even Zhang Hetong and the crowd of examinees were looking at him anxiously.
"A tiny mountain cliff, why would that require a reminder?" Tang Yulong was somewhat spiteful. He felt that these people were overthinking. With his abilities, not mentioning this mountain cliff, even if it was ten feet wider, it still wouldn’t be a problem!
Just as he thought, he suddenly felt his head bang onto something.
Or, it could be said, he was stepped by something?!
It was very heavy!
At least, Tang Yulong couldn’t maintain his graceful posture anymore…
"Ah!" Tang Yulong let out a startled cry, and his body fell vertically towards the bottom of the cliff. Looking back, he met with Fang Zhengzhi’s face, which was filled with innocence.
"Young Master Tang, I had already said, don’t give up your life…" Fang Zhengzhi waved his hands towards Tang Yulong as he said, looking as if he was in tears.
