Chapter 100: Tense Atmosphere

  Observing Qin Wushuang's expression is also one of Yun Qingyan's great hobbies. Although her personal achievements are terrible to the point of no return, this does not hinder his yearning for collective honor. Especially for Wu Tong, who is also from Luojiang County, she has a kind of narrow hometown honor.

  Especially when she saw others showing off their superiority with an air of complacency, this unbalanced mentality of hers spread even more.

  But her gaze stopped on Qin Wushuang's face, and suddenly it cleared up.

  "Qin Wushuang, your grades must be good this time, right? How was it, did you get 300 points?" Yun Qingyan intentionally raised her voice and asked exaggeratedly.

  Three hundred points, this was what she shouted out with a bite of her teeth. In fact, she also felt that three hundred points were really too difficult, and theoretically it was almost impossible to get.

  To get 300 points, you need to cross at least three zones to guarantee getting 300 points.

  As expected, as soon as she spoke, even Da Xiyang couldn't help but secretly shake his head, thinking that Yun Qingshen was indeed arrogant. Did he deserve to compete with the Wang family's young master for fame?

  In fact, many of the martial arts students around them saw the exaggerated performance of the group next to "Chong Shao Ye" and couldn't help but whisper to each other. After all, most people here didn't have a good track record when it came to romance.

  You suddenly show up with a good grade and deliberately flaunt it in front of people, which has a bit of a deliberate slap in the face.

  Even if you are a prince, people will still secretly dislike you.

  So, Yun Qingyan's question, which was full of provocative intent, actually earned the approval of most of the martial arts students led by Chi Mu Wang, although everyone thought that three hundred points was just a pipe dream, but it was still necessary to knock down certain people's arrogance.

  Qin Wushuang couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking to himself that this Yun Meimei was really someone who couldn't stay still for a moment. If she didn't stir up some trouble, she would probably feel uncomfortable all over.

  Although Ximen Xing also wanted to add fuel to the fire, he understood the situation and knew what "Chong Shao" meant in Chi Mu Wang's territory. He just smiled and didn't say anything.

  "Why aren't you saying anything?" Yun Qingyan stared at him with her eyes wide open.

  "What can I say?" Qin Wushuang felt helpless. "The results and all that, just go by the official announcement, don't be impatient."

  Yun Qingyan had long forgotten that her grades were so bad, and smiled: "Because my grades are too poor, I want to share your good grades. Who let us be from the same hometown?"

  Akamatsu ō no kō natabachi butō wa, kumo karasu no kuchibue ni iru imi o kiite shimatta. Minna me o hadaka ni shite, koko e shinobiyori ni mitsumeru. Akiraka ni wa, dare ga yūjin no ushiro ni arawareta no ka o shitte iru rashii.

  Akagi ō this time attaches great importance to the trial of the infant and is eager to push the infant out through this martial arts trial.

  Therefore, he naturally would not let go of any opportunity to create momentum for his youngest son. This batch of forehead flattery and momentum building was also apparently endorsed by Akagami no ō.

  But unexpectedly, out came Yun Qingyan, a big fool of a celestial being.

  That young master glanced over here faintly, but didn't say anything. On the contrary, those martial arts children beside him glared with round eyes, looking like they were about to pick a fight at any moment.

  Before the trial, everyone was working together to help Akagami no King, so it wasn't easy to get too worked up. Now that the trial is over and the results are in, the limits of their patience with each other have naturally decreased.

  The atmosphere was tense, and suddenly all the martial arts students felt a strong aura emanating from everywhere. At this moment, the four great masters of the True Martial Sacred Land of Baiyue Kingdom appeared together.

  The four of them appeared at the same time, which was rarely seen in the country of Baiyue. As soon as they came on stage, just that momentum alone instantly calmed down the noisy scene.

  All the martial arts students almost instantly shut their mouths, and the words that had reached the tip of their tongues were swallowed back.

  The Four Great Ones!

  In the eyes of the young martial artists, a strong sense of admiration and reverence was revealed.

  It's clear that the True Martial Sacred Land was already unattainable in their hearts, and the Four Great Reverends were even more so, at the peak of the pinnacle, unreachable. They could only be revered and worshiped.

  The four great masters hadn't even spoken a word, but with just one glance from their eyes, the nearly two thousand martial youths in the room suddenly felt as if they were carrying a weight of a thousand pounds.

  The purple-robed grandmaster pressed down on his arm, smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, a month's trial period, some people paid with their lives; but it is also destined that someone will rise to fame because of this, and soar to great heights."

  "Now, the scores have all been recorded and each trial area's results are in place. However, tallying and announcing them may still require tomorrow to be revealed. Everyone will camp here tonight, and tomorrow morning, the results will be announced."

  Tomorrow? Still need to wait until tomorrow?

  The faces of the Wu Tong showed obvious disappointment. A month of hard work and anxiety, everyone was too eager to know the final result.

  Everyone wants to know the ranking as soon as possible, and whether they can appear. After all, among so many martial arts schools, each has only thirty places for the top students, a total of just one hundred and twenty people.

  Thousands of troops squeezed onto a single wooden bridge, can they make it through? Everyone wants to know as soon as possible. A day and night's wait is really too nerve-wracking.

  However, everyone also understands that the martial arts schools in these trial zones have mixed up their regional and native places. To reorganize their original places of origin, it indeed takes time, and as for ranking, even more time is needed.

  Moreover, after the results of the four subjects of Wutong are released, each subject will take the top 30 places to compete for team scores, and the procedures are indeed time-consuming.

  Tomorrow can achieve results, it can be said that Zhenwu Sheng has made the greatest efforts in all aspects.

  The Purple Robe Great Ancestor could also understand the mood of the martial disciples, and smiled: "I understand that anxious feeling, but for now, I still can't tell you who specifically did well. However, I must admit one thing - this trial has exceeded my expectations. Especially the top few performances were truly magnificent. Of course, this isn't the biggest surprise yet - the biggest surprise is that this trial also produced quite a number of dark horses... These dark horses didn't have high birth origins, but their results are indeed very delightful. Haha, I'll stop here for now. During this period of time, everyone should take it easy and relax."

  Qin Wushuang heard Zǐ Páo Dàzūn say this, and secretly laughed in his heart. Indeed, he was a great master, truly an old fox. These words were better left unsaid, now that they had been spoken, they made people's hearts itch with annoyance.

  Just a few short sentences, leaving so many places for people to imagine, it's strange if it doesn't pique one's interest.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, these martial arts students got a few sentences that were full of hints and immediately began to speculate.

  According to Da Zun, the overall performance of this trial is very good. It seems that the competition at the top is also fierce, otherwise why would Da Zun specially emphasize the top few who performed exceptionally well?

  Those at the top, without a doubt, are definitely from the royal families of the Four Great Kings or the young masters of the great families. Ordinary martial children, in terms of overall conditions, still fall behind somewhat.

  But Da Zun also specifically mentioned the dark horse.

  This made many martial arts students think wildly, especially those with lower social status but good grades this time, and they were all guessing: "Is there one of me in the dark horse list mentioned by Da Zun?"

  ……

  In a large tent, the people in charge of the Zhenwu Holy Land were all working diligently.

  They must have the results of the trial calculated within this one day and night.

  Excluding the hundreds of martial artists who have already died, the remaining nearly two thousand martial artists' scores will be returned to their respective territories' archives and then ranked internally within each territory. The top thirty from each territory will advance.

  Then the top 30 from each of the four territories are taken out, and the total score of these top 30 is accumulated to determine the champion of the segment and the top ten of this territory that won the team championship.

  The last step is the final ranking of individual scores.

  The four great masters sat in charge of supervision, and they couldn't let them have any slackness.

  "Great honor, I never thought that this time the first place would be a young master from a wealthy family! A low-ranking noble! This dark horse has emerged, isn't it going to slap the faces of the four major royal families?" The Red Venerable sighed.

  "This trial was fair and public, completely confidential in advance, no one could find any loopholes. The dark horse suddenly appeared, and it can only be said that his strength is outstanding." Zǐ páo dà zūn pointed to the score sheet again, "Look at his points, far ahead of second place. From second to fifth place, without exception, they are all princes, but the second place has only 236 points. This proves that his strength is indeed far beyond his peers!"

  The other three nodded in agreement, especially the fourth one with a rich tone, whose eyes sparkled: "The four major royal families, even if they are uncomfortable in their hearts, should know what this trial means. I believe they dare not raise any questions about the trial."

  "The true martial sacred land's affairs are not yet at the point where they can be questioned by them." The purple-robed grandmaster's tone carried a hint of overbearing arrogance, and royalty or the like were simply not within his consideration.

  What he wants is a good result in this trial. Now that the desired good result has appeared, it is naturally not allowed for anyone to come out and destroy this situation.

  Even if you're royalty, no way!

  "Great sir, the results of all the martial children have been filed and ranked in their respective domains. The top thirty have also been arranged. Shall we announce them ahead of time?" A relevant personnel approached to ask for instructions.

  He glanced out of the window and it was already midnight.

  "Alright, it will be announced tomorrow morning. First announce the other three major territories, and finally announce the territory of the group's first place. Remember to distinguish between levels."

  "Yes."

  The four great masters each held a copy of the ranking results, all of whom were shocked by Qin's unparalleled achievement and sighed in admiration.

  "Great honor, unless other vassal states also produce freaks, otherwise, our Baiyue state will definitely make a big splash this time. Qin Wushuang is too perverted, hahaha." Chi Zun now can't help but want to burst out laughing whenever he sees the name Qin Wushuang.

  "Six hundred points, calculated normally, even if it's a top-notch vassal state, shouldn't have such an abnormal score. Don't worry, within three days, the trial results of each country will be summarized together. By then, you'll understand what the overall situation is like."

  "What about the reward then?"

  "It's better to be early than late!" Da Zun said with a firm tone, "Tomorrow I will return to Wu Sheng Mountain, pay respects to Wu Sheng, and ask him to urge the Emperor to fulfill his promise as soon as possible. Once this child's achievements are made known, there will be countless people with ulterior motives who will try to undermine us! This matter cannot be taken lightly!"

  "The Great Honored One speaks reasonably!" The other three Honored Ones all nodded in agreement.

  ……

  Dawn finally arrived amidst the anticipation of all the martial arts students. As one of them stepped out of their tent, a commotion broke out around them.

  Everyone knows, the results are out, the moment that determines one's fate has finally arrived!
