Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 21: The flying dragon in the sky, the latent dragon in the abyss (Part 2)
"Come on." Tang Xiaotang waved his fist.
"Come on, sister!" Little Bell rushed over and bit Meng Fenghua's forehead fiercely, "Sister is the best!"
Let’s not talk about Tang Zixie, but Meng Fenghua’s potential is definitely beyond doubt. If it weren’t for the shadow of Xuantian Yinyue Sect on natural evil stars, she would definitely be able to receive very good training in the sect, and even enjoy the same treatment as Jiang Wuyan, and it would definitely not be a problem for her to reach the peak of the two-star level now.
However, not only was she regarded as a symbol of bad luck by her fellow disciples, but she also left the sect with her sister...
The difference between her and Jiang Wuyan's treatment now is huge!
However, when her constellation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady appeared on the podium, it quickly grabbed the attention of almost all the jurors.
Countless star powers flowed , feeling the flow of star power in her star veins and judging her potential.
"Meng Fenghua, judging from your horoscope, you should be from the Xuantian Yinyue Sect? I think, if you hadn't introduced an extra Purple Star into the first life palace, you should have reached the peak of the two-star level now." Leng Buchen opened his eyes and asked the first question he had ever asked in this assessment.
During the first group just now , he didn't say anything and just listened to the questions from other deacons and instructors.
Even to Jiang Wuyan, he didn't say much.
However, the appearance of Meng Fenghua was obviously a little beyond his expectations.
Generally, martial artists at this level would have exchanged visiting cards with the sect in advance. It was rare that someone arrived but the head steward did not receive the news in advance.
"I no longer have any relationship with the Xuantian Yinyue Sect." Meng Fenghua replied, shaking his head.
She briefly recounted the discrimination she and her sister had suffered in the sect, and how she had looked for work everywhere to support herself and her sister over the years.
Meng Fenghua's voice was not filled with indignation, but rather contained a kind of vicissitudes that did not belong to her age .
She was not even twenty years old, but her eyes were much colder than those of her peers. Leng Buchen looked deeply into her calm eyes and asked a second question: "The aristocratic academy cultivates talents for the sake of world stability and to maintain the pressure on the border! If one day, your sister is captured by the enemy and asked to help them break through the Tulun Pass, what choice will you make?"
Meng Fenghua was stunned for a moment.
From the moment she saw Meng Fengling in the cradle, she decided to use her own strength to protect this fragile little life.
However, she only now realized that her pursuit of power was out of personal need, while the talents cultivated by the aristocratic academy were cultivated with the hope of achieving success...
Meng Fenghua did not answer.
Leng Buchen didn't ask any more questions.
However, many warriors who heard it in the audience have realized that Meng Fenghua might not be able to get the point from Leng Buchen.
What surprised all the warriors was that the one who stole the most attention in the second group was Tang Zixie.
His strength was not the highest, nor was his potential the best, but the stories he told made the deacons and instructors spend most of the quarter of an hour on him.
The struggle for survival in Wulong Town, the fight in Yinlan Villa, the battle against the five-star masters...
Tang Zixie talked about his experiences and feelings in every matter, which made the deacons and instructors unable to help but ask him questions.
Finally, seeing that the time was almost up, Tang Zixie raised his head and looked at Leng Buchen: "I would also like to answer your question about Meng Fenghua. Can you give me a few words?"
Leng Buchen looked at Tang Zixie and nodded.
Tang Zixie said: "In fact, our teacher told us why we need to study and why we need to become stronger in the first class after entering Tangjiabao...study for the rise of Tangjiabao!"
"Study for the rise of Tang Family Fort?" If Leng Buchen heard this sentence at first, he might not have much feeling, but after listening to Tang Zixie's narration of their Tang Family Fort's rich and colorful practical experience, he felt an indescribable touch in his heart.
"Yes, whether it was Meng Fenghua studying to protect his sister or me studying for the rise of Tangjiabao, it was all for personal reasons, not for the great ideal of world peace... However, our Master also said that family, country, and the world complement each other. Without a family, there would be no country or world. And without a stable world, there would be no family..."
"Oh, so I asked the wrong question?" Leng Buchen also understood what Tang Zixie meant.
"I don't dare." Tang Zixie cupped his hands.
"Studying for the rise of Tangjiabao is good." Leng Buchen was not angry, but continued to ask: "To put it simply, it is studying for the rise of Tangjiabao. To put it more broadly, it is also studying for the rise and revival of mankind. Family, country, and the world are indeed complementary... But what if my problem really happens? What do you think Meng Fenghua should choose?"
"Master said that only when the country is peaceful can the people live in peace. Don't blame the front line for the failure when there is a fire in the backyard!" Tang Zixie looked directly into Leng Buchen's eyes. "As far as I know, the Feishi City of the Changyuan Leng family is the backyard of the Tulun Pass of the Tianqin family! Do you think that such a large logistics base is impossible to protect a nine-year-old girl?"
Tang Zixie threw the "what do you think" question directly back to Leng Buchen!
Leng Buchen burst into laughter after hearing this, and looked at Tang Zixie more deeply, then said three words with great certainty: "Impossible!"
His question was just a question. In fact, whether Meng Fenghua answered or not, he would give her the point - after all, her potential was indeed very good.
However, Tang Zixie's defense of Meng Fenghua made him look at Tang Zixie with a higher opinion: "You have a good teacher in Tangjiabao. I wonder if you can introduce one to him in the future?"
Before Tang Zixie answered, the time was up. Leng Buchen smiled and could only wave his hand, but he also remembered Tang Zixie.
Sure enough, in the subsequent scoring, Leng Buchen's pearlescent stone only lit up twice.
Once was for Meng Fenghua, and once was for Tang Zixie.
Leng Buchen's score directly resulted in the first and second places in the second group being Meng Fenghua with "two points and seven points" and Tang Zixie with "two points and four points" topping the list.
Two groups have passed so far, and Jiang Wuyan's "two points and nine points" is still in the first place, followed by Meng Fenghua's "two points and seven points", and the third is Tang Zixie's "two points and four points".
Among the twenty people, there were six whose scores exceeded two points.
Immediately, the woman on the stage announced the third group, the fourth group...
Until the fifth group, Leng Buchen didn't say anything. Only when the sixth group came on stage, Luo Qingqian, the daughter of the Feishi City Guardian, came on stage, he asked two more questions and gave one point.
After that, warriors came up one after another, showing the stars, asking questions, and answering them.
Before they knew it, more than four hours had passed and the potential of more than thirty groups of warriors had been tested.
Leng Buchen had only shown the pearlescent stone less than ten times in total.
Currently leading the list is still Jiang Wuyan, the leader of the Zhaixing Sect, and the second is still Meng Fenghua.
However, the third place has become an inner disciple of Xiu Lake Sanwan Sect named An Ya Ge. She surpassed Tang Zixie with a score of 2.5 points and ranked third.
Her constellation was very special. It was not a fixed shape, but a flowing one, like a shimmering lake. The two points of starlight falling on the lake also indicated her strength at the peak of the two-star level...
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... there are only more than thirty groups, and there are already seven two-star peaks." Long Chuidi's face looked a little ugly, "How can we continue the exam?"
"We can only spend more time on the third level." said a warrior next to him.
"Well, this is the only way." Long Chuidi's face was full of disappointment, which led many warriors beside him to make a desperate bet in their hearts, hoping to come up with a good plan that would allow them to stand out in the third level by working together.
Long Chui looked at Tang Zheng who had been silent the whole time and said, "Brother, the situation doesn't look optimistic! After the second level assessment, why don't you come to the Academy Tavern to discuss countermeasures?"
Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Oh. Let's see."
At this moment, the woman on the high platform called out the names again loudly: "Group 33, Tang Zheng, Niu Benben, Yu Chengfeng, Song Qifeng, Chi He, Xu Quezi, Wang Laoji, Ye Zilan, Yu Jueyu, Tong Feng..."
"It's finally my turn!" Tang Zheng stood up, opened his arms and stretched.
"Oh? You are in this group? There is Tang Zheng in your group... He is a tough guy with the Sun Star. I heard that his strength is as high as two stars. I guess you are all going to be overshadowed by him." The dragon next to him pounded the ground, smiled and patted Tang Zheng's shoulder, as if he was an acquaintance.
"Brother Long knows so much." A warrior said quickly with a smile.
"However, the instructor will definitely ask him about the Sun Star Blessing. You can listen, and then we can discuss countermeasures. Maybe we can find a way to take away his Star Blessing in the actual combat of the third level, then we will make a lot of money!"
"You guys have lost your common sense again, haven't you?" Long Chuidi laughed and said, "Ninety percent of the Star Destiny inheritances require killing. The third level does not allow killing..."
"That's why I said, think about it, is there a 10% solution?"
Of course, there is a way to seize the star's favor without killing anyone.
However, such methods are secret and there is absolutely no way they could come up with them just by thinking of them.
Of course, the fact that something is impossible does not stop a few warriors from dreaming about it. After all, any normal person would have some unrealistic thoughts if they had the chance to compete with a living Star-Favored One.
Tang Zheng listened to them talking more and more excitedly, and could not help but answer helplessly: "Well, unfortunately. I am Tang Zheng..."
