Chapter 157: The Ending
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“Go through inspection.”
“Xu Zixin is carrying a spiritual artifact called a ‘pistol’ and some spiritual artifacts named ‘bullets’. They are engraved with some basic arrays such as the Wind-Wing Array, Sharp-Arrow Array, and Star-Fire Array. According to our check, they are low-level to mid-level spiritual artifacts which can be activated by warrior qi. They can be brought into the match.”
When Ji Yang entered the combat field, he looked at this girl who claimed to be only at the Master Warrior Realm and felt wary for some reason.
In the past, he would never feel this way. However, after watching so many matches of Lingyun Academy disciples, he would believe it if someone told him that this girl before him was an Ancestral Warrior Realm.
“Later... Will she also unleash the power of the late-stage Grandmaster Warrior Realm?” The Royal Princess and the Second Prince tightened their fists slightly. A moment ago, they didn’t believe any of Fang Qi’s words, but they probably would believe whatever Fang Qi said now!
“This Ms. Xu can use the sword control technique, too?” Mu Donglai was curious. “But even if she gained the mastery of the sword control technique, she wouldn’t be able to skip so many realms, right?”
“She is not revealing her strength?” On the combat field, Ji Yang looked grim while he held a dark-golden wide sword.
Circling around Xu Zixin dozens of meters away, he changed several poses, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
After watching the previous matches, he had gained some understanding. If she uses the sword control technique, I can’t use combat techniques that are powerful but require some casting time unless I can find a good opportunity...
I’ll first use some exquisite and swift combat techniques and keep a moderate distance from her... Ji Yang thought about the techniques that could use. But I’d better get a good understanding of her true strength first.
On the combat field, Ji Yang changed several combat poses but still didn’t attack.
“Ugh? What’s the Prince doing there?”
“Maybe he is also feinting?!”
“It looks like he is feinting!”
In the internet, the players felt confused.
The Second Prince got impatient. “What’s our fifth brother doing?! Why doesn’t he attack?!”
“He must understand the strength of his opponent first!” The Royal Princess said mildly, “Fifth Brother has the highest points and thus must be cautious. If he attacks without thinking, he would be caught off guard by his opponent’s sword control technique.”
The black-robed old man nodded. “Good point. When you face an unknown enemy, you must keep calm!”
Bam! A gunshot came.
The Fifth Prince dropped to the ground!
Everyone who was watching the match was stupified again.
What happened?!
On the combat field, Xu Zixin inserted the revised Magnum Revolver back into the holster on her belt, and that flash of intense light disappeared from her eyes at the same time.
Fang Qi shrugged and said, “No matter how strong you are, one shot is enough to knock you down.”
After all, Ji Yang had just reached the Ancestral Warrior Realm, and he was far inferior to the Ancestral Warriors whom Fang Qi had fought before.
Of course, if Ji Yang had dashed up at the beginning while protecting himself with a warrior qi sphere, he might have had an opportunity.
However, his feinting led to his failure!
In the internet cafe, everyone was laughing.
“Hahahaha! No matter how strong you are, one shot is enough to knock you down! Succinct conclusion, Sir!”
Bullet comments also appeared on the screen.
[The feinting was not nimble and clever!]
[Fifth Prince: I should come and buy Counter Strike and Resident Evil!]
[Fifth Prince: I’ll buy it! I’ll buy it! Okay?]
[Xiyi Academy and Shengjing Academy: We’ll go and play games tomorrow! Please show mercy on us!]
The entire stadium turned silent again!
One could hear the drop of a needle.
The match ended with a flash of light?! A hidden weapon?! What kind of hidden weapon is this?! Are you kidding me?!
“We must check the spiritual artifact again!”
At this moment, Fang Qi sent a message to Xu Zixin. [If someone wants to buy it, sell it for 3,000 crystals since it’s the only new spiritual artifact made by the Wuwei Daoist Alliance! You can ask Li Haoran to make you a new one.]
Xu Zixin was speechless. She had bought the custom-made pistol for 1,000 crystals, and now she could sell it for 3,000 crystals?
“This is a gun with arrays engraved on it?” Mu Donglai laughed and said, “That’s awesome! Haoran produced it?”
When he recommended Fang Qi’s internet cafe to Li Haoran, he had had this plan in mind.
“Half-half,” Fang Qi said, “It’s quite rare since only one was made after putting in so much manpower and materials.”
“Mr. Fang... This is from your shop as well?!” At this moment, everyone turned their eyes toward him.
Black Cloud Daoist who sat a bit further also pricked his ears, afraid of missing any details!
They had heard that Fang Qi had a wondrous shop, but none of them knew how incredible it was!
“Does it mean that we’re winning?!” Mu Hongzhu was elated since she had begun to understand how the disciples felt.
Who wouldn’t want such a good method to increase their strength?
However, they had been punished due to this practice!
She had witnessed the darkest moment in these disciples’ lives, and now they finally saw the dawn!
Mingxue is very smart, and she should know what to do now... Mu Hongzhu thought, She should send messages to the instructors in the academy!
“What?! Director Qin’s favored elite disciples all lost? The inferior disciples turned the tables with the techniques learned from the Origins Internet Club?!”
“The Origins Internet Club will regain its reputation?!”
“All the inferior disciples who were punished will be redeemed?”
At this moment, many instructors at Lingyun Academy had received the message!
Some believed what the message said while some didn’t, but many of them hurried to the Origins Internet Club to check the validity of this news.
While all the Lingyun Academy disciples and instructors celebrated with high spirits, a big group of people surrounded Xu Zixin on the audience stand in the stadium.
“How come this small thing could unleash such a great power?!”
“Without strong strength, one can’t even pull open the powerful Immortal-Slaying Crossbows!”
“This object seems to be something in the same category as crossbows, but how can it achieve such an effect?”
Faced with their questions, Xu Zixin froze for a moment.
This... If you want to know the theory behind this thing, maybe I should teach you some middle-school-level physics?
Finally, the decision was made; Xu Zixin was announced as the winner. Although the victory was a little under-handed, no one could change the rules made by the Emperor!
Xu Zixin would remain the winner, but she couldn’t use this spiritual artifact in the future matches.
Of course, the Emperor might have made this decision to do a favor to the other two academies since the Lingyun Academy disciples were too powerful.
In later matches, Xu Zixin finally revealed her Grandmaster Warrior Realm and defeated all challengers with one attack. Seeing this, the other two academies felt hopeless!
It was impossible to take points from her!
The whole national examination finally came to an end.
When people such as Xu Zixin, Nalan Mingxue, and Song Qingfeng who were the champions in their respective lists went up to the platform to accept awards, all the people present and the disciples standing before the big screens in the internet cafe had tears in their eyes!
“At this moment, I only want to say something for those classmates of mine who were expelled from the Lingyun List and thus couldn’t make this national examination,” Song Qingfeng said loudly, “We’re the best!”
“We are the best!”
Many Lingyun Academy disciples in the stadium chanted after him!
The Lingyun Academy disciples in the internet cafe shook all over as if they had just woken up from the darkness!
Instantly, they roared for the victory!
Their peers were the champions in all four lists!
These disciples were so strong!
The Lingyun Academy instructors who had hurried over after receiving Mu Hongzhu’s message were also amazed!
Bullet comments flooded the screen!
People who hadn’t experienced their hardships wouldn’t be able to understand the bitterness in their hearts.
Many of the people in the stadium didn’t know what these kids had experienced, but they were touched and amazed by this incredible sight when these disciples all cheered loudly.
At this moment, Qin Bing collapsed onto his chair. In fact, from the moment that Nalan Mingxue and the others came into the stadium, the situation had gotten out of his control!
During the roaring cheers, Fang Qi left the VIP area.
“That was excellent!” Mu Donglai said, “I hadn’t felt so excited for a long time!”
Fang Qi only smiled.
“Mr. Fang, where are you going next?” Mu Donglai said, “Would you like to stay here for a while and tour Jingshi?”
“No.” Fang Qi said, “I’ve got to return to the shop.”
“Mr. Mu, would you come with me?”
“It’s a bit too far.” Mu Donglai said, “I’ll pay you a visit in a couple of days.”
“It will take only one hour. I don’t think it’s too far.”
“One hour? Impossible!”
“Sword control technique! Let’s go!”
“Wow...”
An exclamation came from outside of the stadium!
“F*ck! That guy is flying on an ordinary sword?!”
“He is the shop owner!”
The Lingyun Academy disciples exclaimed.
“Who’s that guy? How can he fly out on a sword?” Many people looked up and saw two figures standing on the sword.
In the blink of an eye, they had turned into a black dot!
“Is it the sword control technique again?”
“It can be used like this?!”
The Royal Princess’s expression turned from astonishment to alarm.
The Second Prince’s jaw almost dropped to the ground.
The three Vice Academy Masters were stupefied at the sight.
The Emperor was speechless.
None of them could recover from their shock.
The national examination ended.
