Chapter 147: Drawing lots

Chen Changsheng didn't notice the gaze that fell on him. He hadn't enjoyed this kind of treatment for a long time since he had left the palace, but once he returned to the past, he quickly adapted and got used to it, and he was thinking about certain things, and he was a little distracted.

He is confident that he will at least rank in the top three in the literary examination, the problem is that Gou Hanshi should be able to enter the top three, and even Tianhai Shengxue's literary examination results will not be too bad, so if he wants to win the first place in the Great Dynasty Examination, he must at least enter the last round in the battle, then he still needs to win five rounds in a row. Of course, if Gou Hanshi, Tianhai Shengxue, and the four Huaiyuan scholars who submitted the final papers in the literary examination were eliminated soon, then the pressure he faced was much smaller, and the problem was that no matter how you looked at it, it was impossible.

Zhuang Feibai, Liang Banhu, and Qijian are also potential strong enemies, as well as Zhuang Changmoult, who seems to be particularly silent today, what makes Chen Changsheng feel uneasy or vigilant the most is the single-clothed young man who stands alone.

This wolf boy didn't have a literary test score, so no matter what the battle score was, it would be impossible to get the top spot in the first place, and he would not have a direct competition with him, but what if he met this boy in the previous rounds of battles? No one wanted to meet this boy in advance, I believe that Gou Hanshi and Tianhai Shengxue also thought the same.

The short rest was over soon, Li Nushi took the maidservant to pack up the food box and left the field, the second round of the Great Dynasty Trial Battle was about to begin, and the outside of the Dust Washing Building gradually became quieter, compared with the atmosphere before the first round of the battle, it was even more tense and depressing, because the top fifteen candidates would also join the ranks of the battle.

The fifteen candidates who were the first to pass through Qujiang in the martial arts test were all very strong, including four people from the Lishan Sword Sect, two people from the Star Picking Academy, and a senior sister from the Holy Maiden Peak, Tianhai Shengxue stood at the forefront with an indifferent expression, Zhuang Changyu stood calmly with a classmate, and the wolf clan boy named Folding Sleeves was still standing alone on the periphery, and there was only one person who didn't know anyone.

Compared with the first round, the basic rules are the same, only two relatively large differences, the first is that the two sides are no longer designated by the serial number, and they have nothing to do with the examiner, but use the method of drawing lots, and the subsequent rounds of battles, each round will be re-drawn, and what kind of opponent the candidates will encounter, completely left to fate.

Secondly, from the second round onwards, the loser of the battle will not be sent directly out of the school, but will stay in the field, because it has reached the top sixty-four, in order to determine the ranking of the final court test and the top three candidates, the examiner's score cannot guarantee absolute fairness, and the loser is very likely to need to play an extra match.

Before the battle begins, a draw will be held first. In a sense, the draw is even more important than the battle itself. If you can draw a relatively weak opponent, it is equivalent to passing a round in advance, but if you are unlucky to draw an opponent like Gou Hanshi, what should you do?

Dozens of pairs of eyes left the lottery box with the hand of the priest who presided over the lottery ceremony and landed on the note with the candidate's name written on it.

"Anglican Academy, Xuanyuan Po. The priest of the palace then took out the second note, looked at it and said, "Against the Lishan Sword Sect, Gou Hanshi." ā€

There was silence or dead silence in front of the dust-washing building, and it took a long time for the candidates to react and let out countless exclamations.

In everyone's opinion, since Akiyama-kun unexpectedly did not come to participate in the Great Dynasty Examination, then the strongest person in this year's Great Imperial Examination is undoubtedly Gou Hanshi, and it is natural to think that his name will appear very late, who would have thought that in the first round of drawing, the examiner drew out a note with Gou Hanshi's name written on it.

The emotions in those exclamations are very complicated, in addition to shock, there is also a lot of joy, and in the few exclamations, you can hear the feelings of schadenfreude.

It's like no one wants to face the wolf boy, and no one wants to face Gou Hanshi.

Now people don't need to worry, because it is Xuanyuan Po who is eating cold, Xuanyuan Po of the National Education College.

Lin Pan was very quiet, Chen Changsheng and Tang Thirty-six looked at Xuanyuan Po, there was no sympathy in their eyes, only the meaning of inquiry.

At times like these, sympathy doesn't make any sense.

Xuanyuan Po looked blank and asked, "What should I do?"

Tang Thirty-six said, "Don't you see that we are all waiting for you to make a decision?"

Xuanyuan Po looked at Luoluo and said, "Sir, I listen to you." ā€

Luoluo looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "Sir, what do you think?"

Chen Changsheng looked at Tang Thirty-six and said, "Why don't you have an idea?"

Tang Thirty-six didn't think about it, he directly raised his hand and shouted at the priest who was in charge of drawing lots: "We abstain!"

There was an uproar in the audience, and no one thought that the National Education College would directly choose to abstain from voting when the signing of the form was just out, which was too neat and neat, or a little brazen, right? There was a sound of ridicule from the crowd, and Xuanyuan Po lowered his head, looking a little depressed.

Chen Changsheng comforted: "Keep some strength, and you can take advantage of it later in the extra game." ā€

Tang Thirty-six was in charge of the external affairs, looked at the candidates who were laughing at him, and said: "Abstaining is surrender?

It is naturally impossible for this kind of thing to happen, but his words reminded many candidates present that if the goal is to enter the top three in the Great Dynasty Examination, then in the second round, if they encounter an invincible strong person like Gou Hanshi, abstaining may be the best choice, thinking that they may also abstain later, the candidates naturally quieted down.

The draw continued, and the calm scene was broken again after the priests of the palace drew the names Tang Thirty-six and Liang Banhu.

The candidates looked at Lin Pan, and no one laughed at the Anglican Academy, but began to sympathize with the Anglican Academy.

Tang Thirty-six's expression was calm as usual, but his mood was extremely bad, and he said in a voice that only the people around him could hear: "What kind of luck is this your mother?"

Xuanyuan Po met Gou Hanshi, it was extremely bad luck, and his luck was not much better for Shangliang Banhu. The draw has just been carried out for a short time, and the two people from the National Religious Academy have faced off against the two people in the Seven Laws of the Kingdom of God, which are recognized as the strongest.

The bad luck of the Anglican College didn't end there.

The note with Chen Changsheng's name written on it was pulled out by the priest of the palace, and immediately after, the priest drew out his opponent.

Huaiyuan Huo Guang.

There was an uproar in the audience, and at this time, even the candidates who had a bad impression of the National Education College were in no mood to gloat.

The most shocking thing happened at the end.

Luoluo's opponent is...... The sky and the sea are better than the snow.

There was silence in front of the dust-washing building, and the sound of the priest drawing the paper was so clear.

People looked at the people of the Linban National Education College and were shocked and speechless.

Several people from the National Education College were also shocked and speechless.

At this point, one can be sure that the result of such a draw has absolutely nothing to do with luck, but a deliberate suppression of the Anglican Academy, because this probability is too small.

Xuanyuan Po encountered Gou Hanshi, so he could only abstain and admit defeat, Tang Thirty-six was famous, known as a young genius, but there was still a considerable gap between the strength realm and Liang Banhu, and there should be no possibility of victory, as for the third game...... Although the scholar named Huo Guang did not enter the Qingyun List, according to the level he came out of in the martial arts test, he should be the second strongest among the four students of the Huaiyuan, stronger than the two classmates who have already entered the Qingyun List, only under the Zhonghui of the ninth Qingyun, even if Chen Changsheng has any more adventures, it is impossible to defeat the other party.

The most obvious evidence is the lottery results, she is second on the Qingyun list, the only thing she is afraid of in this year's big court test is the already quiet Gou Hanshi and Tianhai Shengxue, she just won the Tianhai Shengxue, and more importantly, among all the candidates present, only Tianhai Shengxue's family background is similar to her, at least she can play her strength relatively freely in the battle.

......

......

The same as in front of the dust-washing building, the Zhaowen Hall is also silent.

The Bishop finally opened his eyes slowly, and his somewhat cloudy gaze fell on the sign that appeared on the light mirror, and gradually became cold.

Mo Yu's eyes drooped slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chen Liuwang raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face was angry.

Xue Xingchuan was a little surprised, and turned to look at Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji's face was expressionless and remained silent.

The rest of the big people in the hall also remained silent.

Obviously, the Religious Office's preference for the National Religious Academy eventually aroused the dissatisfaction of the new sect of the National Religion, and after forbearance for a long time, they finally began to fight back in the final battle link of the Great Imperial Examination, but I don't know if this matter was personally instructed by the Holy Queen or the Pope.

"It's really not good to use southerners to fight the National Education Academy. ā€

Mao Qiuyu, the dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy, sighed, got up and walked towards the outside of the Zhaowen Palace.

Hearing this, the expressions of some people in the hall, such as the dean of the palace annex and the two state bishops, became a little embarrassed.

Mao Qiuyu's identity is detached, he said it, and he left, but he couldn't change the result of the lottery.

The Great Dynasty Test must continue, and the draw of lots is also continuing, and the most concerned are naturally the four games related to the National Education Academy, Guan Feibai, Zhuang Changmoult and other well-known young masters, the opponents drawn are relatively weak, only Su Moyu's luck seems to be worse than Chen Changsheng and others, because his opponent is ...... The boy named Folded Sleeves.

Listening to the roll call of the priest leaving the palace, the candidates present knew the full name of the wolf boy for the first time.

The young man's name was Rou Sleeve.

The surname of the husband is extremely rare, and when you hear it, you are not from the Central Plains, but a small tribe outside the Saiwai.

Tang Thirty-six patted Su Moyu on the shoulder and said, "Admit defeat, who let you stand with us just now, bad luck is contagious." ā€

Is it really luck? Of course not, everyone in front of the dust washing building knows this, but just like in the first round, if you can't find evidence of manipulation, you can't object.

You can only throw in the towel, or try to get an incredible victory.

Tang Thirty-six Jian yƬ Su Moyu chose the former, but he was ready to choose the latter.

Luoluo and Chen Changsheng also thought so.

......
