Hearing Xuan Yuan Po’s words, the examiner’s expression immediately changed; the examiner impatiently waved their hand, indicating that he should hurry and leave.
Xuan Yuan Po felt baffled, thinking to himself, “don’t you have to declare me as the winner? Will this match be acknowledged?” he looked towards the wall, at his opponent that was currently undergoing emergency treatment, shook his head then headed out of the tower in a daze.
Hearing the sound of the tower’s door closing, the examiner wordlessly shook his head, thinking to himself: “that youth is only 13 years of age, how could he have so much strength? Even if yao had special bodies, this was still far too excessive.”
Seeing Xuan Yuan Po walk down from the steps, the crowd didn’t feel overly surprised; he was ranked upon the proclamation after all, defeating an unknown disciple from Huang Shan Valley was an obvious conclusion.
Except, they didn’t expect the match to come to an end this quickly; it was even faster than the matches had by the four scholars from Scholartree Manor, there was also that thunder-like sound: what was it?
That’s correct, the Tower of Purging Dust’s silencing array wasn’t able to isolate all noise, once a sound surpassed a certain volume, it could be transmitted outside of the tower; when Xuan Yuan Po’s fist had sent the disciple from Huang Shan Valley flying, the fearsome sound of its impact had breached the limits of the silencing array, transmitting out of the tower to reach the ears of the other examinees, raising a bout of conjecture and debate.
Currently, the vast majority of examinees remaining at the match grounds were those who had won a match in the first round, in the coming second round, any of them might be matched against Xuan Yuan Po. The stares directed at Xuan Yuan Po began to turn a little cautious.
“What’s the current situation?” asked Tang Thirty-Six as he looked at Xuan Yuan Po, who had returned to the woodlands.
Xuan Yuan Po still hadn’t managed to comprehend what happened in the match, after thinking for a long while, he gestured and said: “He didn’t block.”
The simple and honest he, couldn’t understand how Tang Thirty-Six could predict everything in the duel. He thought that Tang Thirty-Six knew the Huang Shan Valley disciple and had arranged to have him to win, therefore, he currently didn’t feel excited and happy, but was feeling rather depressed and lost.
Tang Thirty-Six couldn’t have known what Xuan Yuan Po was wildly speculating, but he could roughly guess what had happened in the match after hearing his words.
Tang Thirty-Six gave a curt laugh and said: “It’s not that he didn’t block, he wasn’t able to block in time; battling is about momentum, his ability is below yours, but foolishly wanted to do a retreating defence while skirmishing; losing was an obvious conclusion, it was only a matter of when.”
At this moment, the discussions before the tower gradually quietened down, this was because an examinee had walked out, he was number 61.
This examinee was from Heavenly Academy; Zhuang Huan Yu walked up to his side and spoke to him quietly.
The student from Heavenly Academy had a cloth bag tied behind him, unknown as to its contents. He had a look of indifference as he listened to Zhuang Huan Yu, but his stare was focused upon the direction of Orthodox Academy.
Zhuang Huan Yu finished what he was saying and left.
That student from Heavenly Academy looked at the group from Orthodox Academy, remaining quiet for some time before finally choosing Chen Chang Sheng.
That’s correct, he had chosen Chen Chang Sheng.
