Battling Records of the Chosen One Chapter 94: The County Test Began

When Lian Fei walked out of the hall, the back part of his skirt had been completely saturated in cold sweat.

Although the conversation with Yao Tuohai only lasted for less than 15 minutes, Lian Fei finally knew what the oppressive force of an overmatch meant.

Elegant and gentle, Yao Tuohai sat there casually without any sense of arrogance, yet facing him, you felt like you were a small ant looking up at a towering mountain.

That was the intangible force emerging when a practitioner reached a certain level, which couldn’t be resisted and defused by Lian Fei.

“Are you all right?” Yao Susu asked with concern.

Shaking his head and smiling constrainedly, he looked slightly pale, “I am astonished to know your father is Yao Tuohai.”

Yao Susu blurted,” I have never intended to conceal it from you, but you never asked me.”

Lian Fei laughed bitterly. But recalling the conversation with Yao Tuohai a moment ago, with his heart pounding, he was delirious with joy to think that if he could marry Yao Susu in the future, then he would distinguish himself depending on the prestige of Yao Tuohai.

“Is what you just said true?” Yao Susu asked suddenly.

For a moment Lian Fei was in a daze, but he reacted instantaneously with a determined expression on his face, “Susu, how can I deserve you if I can’t revenge my dad in person.”

In the conversation they just had, Yao Tuohai once said bluntly that he had learnt about the hatred between Lian Fei and Lin Xun, and he declared clearly that he wouldn’t help Lian Fei.

However, Lian Fei was even more straightforward, and he swore in the face of Yao Tuohai that he would avenge in person, which won a hint of appreciation from Yao Tuohai.

Yao Susu said, “Though my dad won’t help you avenge directly, he can offer you help of all kinds by virtue of the power and influence of our family just as you know. You can’t just waste such a chance. Cheer up to gain recognition of my dad.”

Inhaling deeply, Lian Fei said seriously, “Don’t worry, Susu. I will not only gain recognition of Uncle Yao, but also marry you.” Yao Susu smiled sweetly and said no more.

At the same time Lian Fei felt joyful and self-satisfied. With Yao Tuohai’s support, he wouldn’t have to worry too much about the future.

In Lian Fei’s point of view, Lin Xun was just a small ant on his road to success, and would be crushed to death easily when Lian rose one day.

“Look there. It seems to be the patriarch of Clan of Wu.

Yao Susu stopped suddenly, and looked into the distance.

Lian Fei raised his eyes to see Yu Canglin, president of Donglin School, and a middle- aged man in a black hat walking this way, and the guy in a black hat was Wu Chaoqun, patriarch of the Clan of Wu.

Lian’ face turned clouded immediately, since he didn’t have any good impression on the Clan of Wu.

“Susu, have you finished talking?” Yu Canglin came over with a smile after noticing them too.

“Yes.” Yao nodded to salute him.

“Lian Fei, you’re here too.” Smiling and looking amiable, Wu Chaoqun greeted him.

From Yu Canglin, Wu had just learnt the relationship between Lian and Yao, and the father of Yao Susu was Yao Tuohai who was well-known in the southwestern province of the empire.

As for this point, Wu Chaoqun was very astonished, and sighed that Lian Fei was just so lucky to ride on Yao Tuohai’s coattails. The affairs of the world were inconstant!

“H’m,” looking slightly cold, Lian Fei went away with Yao Susu.

For one instant, Wu wore a long face. He secretly cursed, “Such an arrogant fellow! How the fuck can you become who you are today without my support.”

At the same time, Lian Fei sneered in the heart, “Wu Chaoqun, Fuck You! You are foolish to think that I can be your cannon fodder.”

“I have been generally clear about your matter. I’m sure you can get a satisfying reply with Mr. Yao Zhenhai assuming command in person.” Yu Canglin spoke in a low voice.

“Sorry to trouble you to do me the favor. I appreciate it.” Smiling and feeling at ease, Wu Chaoqun cupped his hands.

“Never mind. With Lin Xun going too far in bullying us, as president of Donglin School, I can’t tolerate such a nobody to be rampant anymore,” waving his hand, Yu Canglin said with arrogance.

…

Early in the morning next day.

Lin Xun woke up at daybreak. After washing himself, he had breakfast with Shia Zhi.

It was the day of County Test, but Lin Xun looked like just as usual without any hint of excitement or expectation.

“Shall we leave immediately after the test?” Shia Zhi asked.

“Hum,” Lin Xun replied and then added after thinking, “the Donglin Town now becomes a place where we are apt to get into trouble since I have offended many guys here, so we have to leave as soon as possible.”

Shia Zhi replied with regret, “Given me another half a month, I can annex all the gangs in the Civilian Area.

Lin Xun was silent, saying nothing.

Having finished the breakfast, Lin Xun was about to go out, when Shia Zhi suddenly said, “I’ll go with you.”

Lin Xun was in a trance for a while, “You worry about me?”

Nodding her head, Shia Zhi said with her crescent-shaped eyes wide open, “I don’t think your opponents will let you pass the test without any trouble.”

She knew what had happened at the gate of Donglin School and was clear what a confused situation Lin Xun had caused.”

Lin Xun smiled, “It is County Test, an event of top significance in our empire. Who dares to create a disturbance? Besides, the bigwig Yao Tuohai will be there, I think nobody dares to prevent me from taking part in the test.”

Shia Zhi said, “Then I’ll go to have a look, since I haven’t left the Civilian Area since I came here.”

Lin Xun’s heart was softened, and he agreed without hesitation.

Indeed, Shia Zhi had scarcely showed up. She took action at night even when she annexed the gangs of the Civilian Area.

Now that she offered to be with him, how could Lin Xun refuse?

Holding Shia’s hand, Lin Xun left home instantly. They walked out of Civilian Area, heading towards the Donglin School.

The streets were busy. It was still early in the morning, but many people were converging in the same direction.

Today, County Test, a great event in Donglin Town, which attracted the attention of the whole town, would begin, and every corner was bustling with noise and excitement.

When Lin Xun arrived at the gate of the Donglin School, the scene was marvelous. The gate of the school had been crowded with people.

Most of them were there as lookers-on, and some of them, who were parents or relatives of examinees, came here for company.

Lin Xun took out the token he had got when he registered for the test. He entered the school with Shia Zhi without any obstruction.

After they walked along a wide bluestone path for a while, the vision became broad suddenly and a large square which could accommodate ten thousand people appeared.

At that moment, the square had already been crowded with people, the number of whom could reach several thousands and almost all of whom were young boys and girls with the expression of expectation on each one’s face.

Right in front of the square, there stood a high platform, from which you could overlook the whole square, and the chief examiner would be there when the test began, and the distinguished guests would also be there to accompany the chief examiner by that time, witnessing the test.

Over 30 meters away from the high platform, there stood two stone tablets, both of which were over 30 meters high and emitting different spiritual power.

The two stone tablets were the Bone Testing Stele which could measure the bone age and the Spiritual Realm Stone which could test cultivation level.

When the County Test began, the practitioners who had signed up would take the test in front of the two stellai, and the justice and equity could be guaranteed with the eyes of the public focusing on them.

“I’ll be here waiting for you.” Shia Zhi said quietly. She stopped on the periphery of the square and chose a place to stay.

Lin Xun nodded and he trusted Shia Zhi. The girl had extraordinary intelligence and she wouldn’t cause trouble in such a place.

The place where Shia Zhi stood was a remote corner. The morning wind blew her clothes up and no one would notice the little girl in a wind coat with her face hidden under the hood had such an unbelievably beautiful appearance.

She stood there quietly. In the vast universe, Shia Zhi could only care about Lin Xun.

Seeing the figure of Lin Xun move into the crowded square, With knitted delicate eyebrows, she felt unaccountably agitated.

She had been aware of the hint of agitation from last night, and she believed in her own instinct, so she specially came with Lin Xun today.

She had no idea about what might happen today, but she must have a look personally anyway. As long as she was with Lin Xun, she would fear nothing.

Although there was still an hour left before the County Test, the square had been crowded with practitioners, all of whom were discussing something,

Lin Xun stood alone. Looking at the seats on the high platform faraway, he knew clearly enough that the County Test would be the last chance for his opponents to take action, and he would just check whether they dared to act recklessly in public.

It was the County Test of the empire, an event of top significance. Not only the Donglin Town, but all the cities in the empire would hold the County Test on the same day, that was to say, no one dared cause trouble at the moment, or he would be in danger if the senior leaders got to know it.

Lin Xun was not worried about his own safety; he was concerned about whether those guys would let him pass the test instead.

After all, there were nine thousand practitioners taking part in the test and only one thousand examinees would be admitted; therefore, if someone aimed at Lin Xun, the chief examiners could randomly think of any reason to eliminate him.

Would they dare?

Lin Xun was not sure.

Suddenly, feeling something, Lin turned around, and in the crowd not far away, he just saw Lian Fei staring at him indifferently with well-hidden hatred and coldness in Lian’s eyes.

Beside him was Yao Susu in rich dress.

With a smile, Lin Xun walked towards them on his own initiative and said, “Hey, we meet each other again. What did I say? There must be some reason for the coincidence. I feel we have much intertwining predestination.”

Lian Fei was slightly in a daze, and it seemed that he didn’t expect Lin Xun dared come to him on his own initiative. His face fell at once, “I don’t think so.”

Yao Susu sized up Lin Xun with curiosity, and then said with a faint smile, “According to my observation, with your ophryon blackening and a hint of bad luck between your eyebrows, something bad may happen to you today.”

Then, she and Lian Fei moved forward arm in arm.

Squinting at their receding figures, Lin Xun got lost in thought.
