Chapter 1302: 1302
"You slept your way through?" Zhang Jiuxiao widened his eyes, flabbergasted, unable to comprehend what was going on .
He asked how Zhang Xuan became a student of the Elite Division, hoping to learn from his experiences, but the latter told him that . . . he slept the way through?
"Indeed . Not everyone will be able to handle three whole days of it straight!" Zhang Xuan continued with a tone reminiscent of a forlorn expert who was unable to find a single person who could rival him .
To be honest, he never thought that he would actually be able to sleep for three days in a single go, and he was truly shocked when he woke up . But thinking back, it was really well worth it .
Even if he were to remain awake, there was also nothing much he could do . There were too many flaws in the Divine Eyes of the Ninth Netherworld, so it was impossible for him to continue cultivating it . On the other hand, Sage Kui, for some inexplicable reason to him, seemed to be overly traumatized by what he had said as well . Rather than being placed in an awkward position for three whole days, it was really a much wiser decision to use this time to refresh himself for his future journey in the Sanctum of Sages .
After all, having the time to sleep his fill was a luxury that he might not be able to afford anymore later on .
"Three whole days straight?" Zhang Jiuxiao had an expression that looked as if he had seen a ghost . "Zhang shi, you mean to say that while we were busy clearing tests in the Mountain Gate, not daring to rest for an instant for fear of being overtaken, you were actually sleeping for three days straight?"
"Indeed . I didn't think that I would be able to sleep for so long either…" Zhang Xuan replied with a bitter smile .
"Despite sleeping for three days, you were still able to qualify as a student of the Elite Division…" Gulping down a mouthful of saliva, Zhang Jiuxiao felt that he was going mad .
From the moment he entered the Mountain Gate, he had been doing everything he could to showcase his talents, fearing that a second of rest would mean the difference between success and failure . Yet, the young man before him actually slept the three days through, and even so, he was still able to make it into the Elite Division . . . Could the world be any more unfair than this?
"Wonderful!"
"Splendid!"
"Third Young Master Xue, beautifully done!"
While Zhang Jiuxiao was about to explode from shock, a wave of cheerings suddenly broke out in the surroundings . Raising his gaze, he saw that the duel on the stage had already concluded .
The challenger, Zhao Qi, had been tightly bound by the Golden Silk Thread like a cocoon . No matter how hard he struggled, he found himself unable to move at all .
Xue Ning's Golden Silk Thread might have been ineffective against Zhang Xuan, but it was still a formidable weapon against most other cultivators . Zhao Qi wasn't weak either, but he was still eventually cornered by it .
"I admit defeat!" With dejection glooming between his brows, Zhao Qi sighed deeply and conceded defeat .
He thought that since the difference in score between the both of them wasn't too big, with a little bit of luck, he should be able to emerge victorious . However, from the looks of it now, it seemed like the Mountain Gate examination was indeed fair and impartial . Its ability to accurately gauge the capability of each candidate was unquestionable .
"I'm willing to accept the punishment!" After being freed, Zhao Qi left behind these words before walking down the ring quietly .
Seeing that the first duel had concluded, Elder Liu asked once more with a smile, "Is there anyone else who wishes to issue a challenge?"
"I wish to issue a challenge! The person I want to challenge is the person in the 50th rank, Zhang Xuan!" A loud bellow boomed across the square, and a figure leaped onto the stage .
"It's the 52nd rank Meng Fanxing!"
"He's the offspring of the Sage Clan, Meng Clan . Even though his bloodline is only at Tier-2, his cultivation has reached Half-Grand Dominion realm!"
"How could someone like him possibly tolerate having the Primordial Spirit realm pinnacle Zhang Xuan getting into the Elite Division when he couldn't qualify for it?"
"Indeed . As soon as the Challenge of the Defeated was announced, I knew that there would surely be plenty of people who would want to challenge Zhang Xuan . Not only is his cultivation realm low, more importantly, he's taking up the very last seat to the Elite Division . There's bound to be many people eyeing his position!"
"That reminds me, I just heard news from a friend of mine in the Sanctum of Sages . I can't verify whether it's true or not, but it's said that Zhang Xuan had never gotten into the top five hundred throughout the course of the examination . It was only when the Jade Tablet of Trials refreshed for the final time that his name suddenly appeared in the 50th place, taking up the very last slot for the Elite Division . In other words . . . his score just increased by more than 10,000 points all of a sudden!"
"His score increased by more than 10,000 points all of a sudden? Isn't that obviously cheating?"
"Well, we can't really say for sure at this point yet . If he has really cheated, the Sanctum of Sages would have dealt with him . "
. . .
Hearing that someone had challenged Zhang Xuan, a huge commotion immediately broke out in the surroundings .
Amidst the crowd, Zhang Qian's eyes also reddened in excitement .
The happenings in the Hall of Result had begun spreading amidst the crowd, and quite a few people were already aware of the peculiarity in Zhang Xuan's results . Every single one of them was interested to see just what kind of unique ability did that master teacher named Zhang Xuan possessed to be able to qualify as a student of the Elite Division .
Elder Liu and Elder Han Zhu also turned their gazes over . They wanted to see the young man's performance so as to have the doubts they had been harboring answered .
"You want to challenge me? Sure!"
On the other hand, Zhang Xuan didn't think that someone would challenge him, and he shook his head helplessly . With a leap, he headed up the dueling ring as well .
As much as he wanted to keep a low profile and stay out of trouble, he wasn't someone who was afraid to stir the pot . If someone wanted to take his place, the other party would do well to show strength worthy of doing so!
"May I know what kind of test did Zhang shi undergo in the Mountain Gate examination? I'll just compete with you on whatever you faced in there!" Meng Fanxing harrumphed with a slight hint of disdain in his voice .
"What kind of a test I just underwent? But I just woke up and I don't feel like sleeping anymore . . . Forget it, let's not waste our time then . Why don't we just settle it with a normal duel?" Zhang Xuan thought about the previous examination he had and shook his head .
He had just slept for three days straight, and it hadn't been even an hour since he had woken up . If he were to compete with the other party right now in who could sleep for a longer period of time, he would definitely be in a disadvantageous position . Besides, the crowd wouldn't be interested in watching such a duel either .
All in all, it would be much more convenient to settle it with a fight, just like what Xue Ning did earlier .
It would be swift, trouble-free, and more importantly, effective .
"You want to have a duel with me? Are you serious?" Meng Fanxing stared at Zhang Xuan was if he was looking right at a fool .
I am a Half-Grand Dominion realm expert whereas you are just at Primordial Spirit realm pinnacle . . . Are you certain that you want to have a match with me?
You aren't daydreaming at the moment, are you?
"Un . " Zhang Xuan nodded affirmatively .
"Very well . I'll suppress my cultivation to the same level as you then . " Meng Fanxing nodded before swiftly suppressing his cultivation down to Primordial Spirit realm pinnacle .
