Chapter 8: Martial arts department, first among the ten academies
Luyang Mansion, main gate.
The place has already been crowded with people, and there is almost no space within a few hundred feet of the door. They are all waiting for the results of the joint examination of the martial arts department of the ten academies.
"In the past hundreds of years, the martial arts department in our Luyang Mansion has been controlled either by the three great families of Mu, Jiang, and Gu, or by the children of the five great families of Zhao, Feng, Lin, Qin, and Wang. They have almost taken turns to be at the top of the list. Exception. Last year, the children of the Lin family won the first place. I wonder whose children will win the first place this year?"
"Who knows! It's probably the Zhao family!"
"Yes, I also heard that the Zhao family has a young martial arts genius this year, named Zhao Feiyang! He is currently the number one martial artist in Nanchen Martial Arts Academy, and he is very likely to win the top spot in the Ten Academy this year!"
In the streets, restaurants, and pavilions around the mansion, tens of thousands of people were excitedly discussing whose children would win the first place this year and which junior martial arts academy students had the best results.
Soon, several examiners excitedly took a piece of big red paper and prepared to post it on the bulletin board at the entrance of the martial arts academy.
"Look! The martial arts department results are out!"
""Ranking of the top ten martial arts departments in the joint assessment of the top ten junior martial arts academies in Luyang Prefecture"!"
"The first in the martial arts department, Zhao Feiyang. Cultivation level is 300 points, martial arts points are 149 points. Total score is 449 points!"
"Wang Lie ranks second in the martial arts department...with a total score of 440 points!"
"The third most beautiful girl in the martial arts department..."
"Haha, as expected, the Zhao family took first place. I guessed it right! Zhao Feiyang won the first place in the martial arts department of Luyang Mansion this year."
The people watching at the gate of the mansion looked at it and became commotion.
After seeing the red list, the crowd immediately became excited.
Not far away, there were more than a dozen luxury carriages parked, all of which belonged to the wealthy families of Luyang Palace. Sitting there were important figures from the major families of Luyang Palace, either clan elders or general managers, all waiting for the results.
Many dignitaries in the carriage looked around and looked at the rankings. Some shook their heads and sighed, while others remained silent. Some families even looked at the Zhao family's carriage with jealousy.
Obviously, the ranking of their family's children is not ideal.
This time, all the limelight at the top of the martial arts department was taken away by Zhao Feiyang of the Zhao family.
In the luxurious carriage of the Zhao family, the head of the Zhao family looked excited, "Young Master Feiyang has won the first place in the martial arts department. This is good news. Our Zhao family has finally made it this year! I have to go back and report to the master quickly. Tell him This is great news!"
Zhao Feiyang and Cao Shanshan had finished their exams early, left the crowded campus, and arrived outside the gate of the courtyard early to wait for the news of the results.
"Let me tell you, this time the joint examination of the ten academies takes the first place in the martial arts department, and it belongs to me! There are thousands of martial arts students in the top ten junior martial arts academies, who can compete with me for the first place in the martial arts department!"
When Zhao Feiyang saw the announcement of the list, he immediately smiled proudly and looked at Cao Shanshan proudly, full of pride that he would choose someone over me.
"With Brother Feiyang's strong strength, it's natural to get the top spot!"
Cao Shanshan excitedly waved her fists and looked at Zhao Feiyang with her eyes shining with admiration.
For the first time, she admired a man so much.
Zhao Feiyang not only has a distinguished family background, he is a direct descendant of the Zhao family, the largest family in Luyang City, and his appearance and temperament are first-class.
What's even more rare is that instead of having the bad habits of a playboy, he is actually smart and martial, practices diligently, and is far ahead of other martial arts students of the same age in terms of martial arts cultivation and skills.
This kind of admiration was something she had never felt for Mark before.
Facing her childhood sweetheart, Ye Fan, who was extremely ordinary, all she had was helplessness, gradual contempt, and complete despair and giving up.
In the end, she decisively chose to make a clean break. The day before she graduated from Nanchen Martial Arts Academy, she completely broke up with Ye Fan and agreed to Zhao Feiyang's pursuit.
Sure enough, her choice was right.
With a high score of 449, Zhao Feiyang easily won the "First Place in the Martial Arts Department" of the Ten Academy Joint Examinations of Luyang Mansion in one fell swoop. This light was enough to shine through the entire Luyang Mansion.
It also made her feel proud.
Suddenly, shouting and rapid footsteps came from the courtyard of Luyang Mansion.
"Wait a minute!"
"Wait a minute! There is something wrong with the rankings of the top ten candidates in the martial arts department assessment. We need to adjust them!"
Several examiners hurried out of the martial arts academy, holding another latest list in their hands, quickly replacing the previous list with errors.
"what happened?"
"what happened?"
Thousands of people watching outside the martial arts academy were immediately startled and commotion broke out.
There is actually an error in the ranking of the top ten red lists, which means that the rankings of "certain people" need to be adjusted! Either someone is going up or someone is going down.
Many people looked at Zhao Feiyang who was at the top of the list.
After all, the ranking adjustment is likely to threaten his position at the top of the list.
"Brother Feiyang..."
Cao Shanshan was also a little worried, looking at Zhao Feiyang with a hint of anxiety.
"What are you worried about? It's probably the martial arts students at the back of the list who got it wrong. Their scores are only one or two points apart. It's not unusual to adjust them."
There was a confident smile on Zhao Feiyang's lips, and he smiled disapprovingly.
He scored 449 points, the highest among all candidates, a full nine points higher than the second place. No matter how he adjusts, his position at the top of the martial arts system will not be shaken!
"What? What's the problem?"
The examiners who were pasting up the red list with big characters also looked puzzled and very puzzled.
This list has actually been drawn up a long time ago.
After all, the top genius martial arts students in the martial arts department of the ten martial arts academies all come from the eight wealthy families in Luyang Mansion, and there are only about ten people to choose from.
A group of elite children from wealthy families, such as Zhao Feiyang from the Zhao family, Wang Lie from the Wang family, etc., are determined to occupy the top ten in the martial arts department.
Others can't argue even if they want to.
Counting them one by one with ten fingers, everyone knows who is strong and who is weak.
So this top ten list was prepared in advance and is a sure thing.
After the results of these ten top talented young martial arts students came out, this list was almost released. Once their scores were filled in, the top ten were posted.
Why did something unexpected happen again?
Several examiners who ran out from behind shook their heads and explained, "Well, when the assessment was about to end, another martial arts student suddenly appeared with a frighteningly high score and rushed directly into the top ten! No one expected this. We also hurriedly started again. Wrote a top ten ranking."
They wrote the newly written red list and overlaid it on the old red list.
The crowds of people outside the martial arts academy looked up curiously at the latest list.
"The first in the martial arts department: Ye Fan, with a cultivation level of 200 points and a martial arts level of 300 points. The total score is 500 points!"
"Second in the martial arts department: Zhao Feiyang, with a cultivation level of 300 and a martial arts score of 149. The total score is 449!" "The third in the martial arts department: Wang Lie...the total score is 449 very!"
"Bah!"
Countless people took a breath of air.
Some people even wiped their eyes in disbelief.
The top spot has actually changed!
This directly caused the other children of wealthy families in the entire top ten list, including "Zhao Feiyang, Wang Lie..." and ten others, to collectively drop one place.
The most unlucky thing is that the candidate who was originally ranked tenth was simply squeezed out of the top ten list.
This is an earth-shaking change.
Number one on the list, Ye Fan! ?
Who is this guy who appears out of nowhere?
This completely unfamiliar name!
He actually instantly replaced Zhao Feiyang of the extremely famous Zhao family and became the first place in the martial arts department in the joint examination of Luyang Prefecture's ten colleges!
Tens of thousands of people were stunned. After a brief silence, they burst out in shock and consternation.
"What is going on? Master Feiyang's top spot suddenly disappeared."
Sitting in the Zhao family's luxury carriage, the chief manager of the Zhao family, who was about to leave, quickly took a look at the newly announced red list, and his expression suddenly changed with horror.
"That's unreasonable!"
"How can this assessment list change at any time!"
"Why did this kid who came out of nowhere get directly to the top of the martial arts department? There must be something wrong here, there is a major bribery, this is a major fraud case!!"
"Forcibly pushing Zhao Feiyang, the direct descendant of the Zhao family, off the top of the list. This is obviously to undermine the prestige of the Zhao family in Luyang City and to provoke the Zhao family!"
"This will never be tolerated!"
Not only him, but all the Zhao clan members and relatives and friends of the Zhao family present were furious and yelled.
"Five hundred points? Damn it...how could it be such a high score!"
Zhao Feiyang stared at the newly announced popular list, his expression changed drastically, he was completely in disbelief, and his face turned livid.
The competition in the joint examination of Luyang Prefecture's ten colleges is extremely fierce. Thousands of martial arts students take part in the examination together, and it is generally difficult to make a huge difference in scores. But Ye Fan's score was more than fifty points higher than his. It was an instant kill.
Cao Shanshan was at a loss.
"Ye Fan?! It can't be him. Maybe it's another person with the same name?... But, who else can it be besides him?!"
She murmured this extremely familiar name, which had always been extremely ordinary in her eyes.
But now, she suddenly found that this name had become very strange and distant, and she could not understand it at all.
The name suddenly seemed like a cloud that was high in the sky and far away in the sky. It was a height that she could not reach.
Suddenly, at the gate of the mansion.
The crowded and noisy crowd suddenly became quiet and looked towards the gate.
I saw a frail young martial artist, with a trace of tiredness on his delicate face, walking calmly out of the courtyard.
His figure is so ordinary that other than the image of a thin young man, it is difficult for others to have a deeper impression.
But behind the young man, in the courtyard, there were thousands of young martial arts students and examiners who separated like a tide to watch him leave.
Their eyes were shining, and with incomparable enthusiasm, admiration and respect, they sent this extraordinary-looking young man away with their eyes.
"In the joint examination of the ten colleges, the martial arts department ranked first!"
"Ye Fan!"
"He is Ye Fan, who topped the martial arts examination room with 500 points!"
At this moment, the huge crowd crowded outside the courtyard all reacted.
Apart from being the number one in the martial arts department, who could make so many candidates and even dozens of examiners in the martial arts academy send him off respectfully with such fanatical eyes?
The eyes of the crowd outside the martial arts academy quickly turned to awe and immense curiosity.
Ye Fan was coming out of the mansion and was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that there were so many people outside.
He glanced across the crowd, and suddenly his eyes narrowed.
At a glance, he saw a girl in blue and a young man from a wealthy family with noble temperament and high spirits standing at the steps. The talented boy and the beautiful girl from the wealthy Zhao family, this golden couple are as dazzling as the stars at night.
It's a pity that Ye Fan's light at this moment is more dazzling than the scorching sun at noon.
The pair of stars in the night sky were instantly submerged in the rays of his scorching sun and eclipsed. Although Zhao Feiyang and Cao Shanshan are both third-level warriors, Ye Fan is only a second-level warrior.
Ye Fan glanced at them indifferently and passed by Zhao Feiyang and Cao Shanshan.
Without saying a word, he walked down the steps towards the gate of the mansion.
There is no such person in his ordinary world.
There will be no such person in his future magnificent and wonderful world. In the future, they will be nothing more than specks of dust.
Wherever Ye Fan passed, the crowds of people suddenly parted like splitting waves, automatically giving way to a wide and straight road.
"Ye Fan...it's really him!"
Zhao Feiyang's handsome face was extremely ugly, the corner of his mouth twitched, and his eyes became extremely gloomy. He just pursued Cao Shanshan yesterday, and today he was trampled on his face and his body was completely trampled.
After Ye Fan left, it took a long time for sparse and noisy sounds to be heard from the crowd.
Under the leadership of General Manager Zhao of the Zhao Mansion, more than a dozen members of the Zhao family, relatives, friends and old friends were furious and protested loudly at the gate of the mansion.
"This is definitely cheating, and we must strongly protest!"
"My Zhao family is the largest family in Luyang Mansion, and we will never tolerate such behavior!"
"We, the Zhao family, want to appeal to the old dean Mu Fengshan! Review this person's martial arts department assessment results!"
