Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 25: Mount Tai is collapsing in front of us, but the chopsticks are still moving
Tang Zheng's first test score, along with Leng Buchen's educational philosophy, quickly spread throughout the entire Fei Shi City.
The scene of the first assessment quickly became the biggest news on the streets.
And Tang Zheng has become the most popular figure in Feishi City.
Of course, many people sneered at Leng Buchen's words: "Leng Buchen is just trying to flatter himself... If Tang Zheng wasn't at the peak of the two-star level, he wouldn't have wanted him. Believing in miracles is just an excuse ."
No matter what, Tang Ququan's face was full of smiles...
He welcomed several people to his store at once , and suddenly he felt that giving 90% of the profits to Tang Zheng was not something so unacceptable.
An astonishing full score made many people lose interest in the scores of candidates in subsequent tests.
However, the instigator who alarmed the whole city has not gone anywhere yet.
He was still very nervous in the examination room, continuing to pay attention to the progress of the first test!
Because Tang Xuan and Tang Xiaotang were assigned to the 45th group...
They haven't played yet.
As a responsible teacher, Tang Zheng cares very much about the performance of Tang Xiaotang and others.
In the end, Tang Xiaotang did not disappoint everyone.
With her extraordinary astrological talent of Phoenix Blood Thorn, her experience in Tang Family Castle in recent years, and the knowledge of Professor Tang Zheng, she successfully captured the hearts of most of the judges and won a good score of two points and seven points.
Two points and seven spots, this result is second only to the sect leader Jiang Wuyan. If it were in previous years, the chances of winning the first place would be very high.
Even though there were many talented people in the Yisu Academy's autumn selection, this result still ranked among the top three.
If Tang Zheng's results hadn't been so incredible, the celebrity of this exam would probably have been Tang Xiaotang.
But Tang Xuan’s result was not very good, she only got one and a half points.
"It doesn't matter. There are still two more items." Tang Xuan waved her hand and said with a smile: "Written exams are my strong point. I listen to the class more seriously than any of you!"
"Hmm..." Tang Xiaotang and the others hugged Tang Xuan.
"Master, our Tang Family Castle performed brilliantly in this assessment. Do you have any comment?" Tang Xuan raised her head and said with a smile.
It was indeed as Tang Xuan said, on the first day of the Yisuli Academy exam, Tangjiabao really shined.
Not only did Tang Zheng win the top spot with full marks, but Tang Xiaotang and Meng Fenghua also ranked third and fourth with good scores of 2.7 points. Even Tang Zixie made it into the top ten with 2.4 points.
"Don't be arrogant or impatient. Today is only the first day... I'll treat you at the academy tavern." Tang Zheng smiled and rubbed Tang Xuan's hair, then led a few other people out of Yisu Square.
Although Tang Zheng did not hesitate to spend the purple gold on this meal and the chef of the academy's tavern's cooking skills were quite good, except for Tang Zheng, the others did not enjoy the meal very much.
Since the end of the first assessment, Tang Zheng and his group have become well-known in the inner streets.
Wherever I went, people were pointing and talking, even when I was eating.
"Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, the private rooms have been booked long ago, so you can only dine in the hall." The owner of the tavern naturally knew the reason why Tang Zheng and his friends were being watched so aggressively. When he saw the waiter serving the dishes, he came to express his apologies in person.
Tang Zheng smiled and shook his head, then took a large mouthful of food and put it into his mouth nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's just a good opportunity to exercise your mental strength. Can't you eat when someone is looking at you? You should be like me, even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, your chopsticks won't stop. This is the demeanor of a master!"
"I think it's the style of a foodie!" Tang Xiaotang and the others complained helplessly.
After a hasty meal, several people were preparing to go back to rest and prepare for the second written test the day after tomorrow.
At this time, an acquaintance came over.
"Brother Tang, congratulations on winning the first assessment!" Long Chuidi congratulated him with a smile on his face and bowed.
Tang Zheng was impressed by this "senior failed student" who was quite outgoing. He smiled, bowed and returned the greeting, waiting for the next words.
Long Chuidi really was a man who never came to see a master without a reason. He immediately lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Although Brother Tang is far ahead on the first day, the upcoming written test will also be filled with experts. Don't underestimate him!"
Tang Zheng smiled faintly and said, "Well, what do you think, Brother Long?"
"Although I am not talented, I have participated in the election many times and have some experience. In addition, I know many capable people. So we decided to organize a pre-exam test meeting. One person can plan for shortcomings, while three people can plan for strengths. We can help each other and cooperate for mutual benefit. If Brother Tang joins, we will definitely be able to successfully prepare for the test, perform well the day after tomorrow, and achieve even better results." Long Chuidi saw that Tang Zheng seemed easy to talk to, so he advised him with some excitement.
The second test is a written test, worth two marks.
The content of the written test is completely unpredictable. The questions are different every time in the autumn selection, and it all depends on the examiner's temperament...
Therefore, before each exam, someone would organize a group of people to guess the questions based on the examiners' daily hobbies and habits, combined with the content of previous imperial academy autumn selection written tests, so that they could prepare in advance.
This is what the dragon is doing by beating the ground.
He thought very carefully. Tang Zheng won the championship on the first day. If he could pull him into his own guessing group, it would surely become famous and more talented people would join. In this way, the chances of successfully guessing the questions would be greatly increased.
However, Tang Zheng had little interest in this kind of thing.
Moreover, he already had some idea about tomorrow's written test questions and didn't really want to join in this extremely inefficient guessing game, so he shook his head and rejected Long Chuidi's suggestion.
Tang Zheng did not agree, so Tang Xiaotang, Meng Fenghua and others naturally would not get involved.
Long Chui Di tried to persuade Tang Zheng a few more times, but seeing that Tang Zheng was very tight-lipped, he had no choice but to say goodbye and left in a bad mood.
Tang Zheng watched Long Chuidi going around to recruit people, most of whom were warriors who had obtained good results in the first day's assessment, and it seemed that quite a few people were interested.
Long Chuidi walked around the academy tavern, and the sadness on his face disappeared, and he was filled with smiles again.
"Master, why does this guy seem unreliable at first glance...but it seems that many people still believe in him?" Tang Xiaotang asked, looking at Long's back as he hammered the ground.
"Of course, it's because of the temptation of interests. As long as you scratch the itch, people will be fooled by any scheme." Tang Zheng said with a smile.
After leaving the academy tavern, Tang Zheng and his companions did not go anywhere else. They returned to the residence arranged for them by the academy and had a good rest for the day.
Early in the morning of the third day, the entire inner street was filled with the sounds of drums and bells.
The written test is about to begin!
…
All the candidates who came to take part in the autumn election quickly dressed and got ready.
There were already quite a few people at Yisu Square. They were so nervous that they couldn't sleep the whole night. They arrived at the examination room early and waited for the written test to begin.
Tang Zheng had a good sleep. He waited until the bell rang in the inner street before he got up and went to the examination room with Xiaotang and others.
When I arrived at the entrance of the examination room for the second test, several academy assistants were already standing there, checking the identity badges of the candidates one by one.
"Tang Zheng?" One of the academy assistants took a look at the identity badge that Tang Zheng handed over, nodded without injecting star power to check, and handed the badge back to him.
There was no way around it. The news of a full score on the first day's assessment had already spread even to the academy assistants in charge of supervising the exam.
Everyone knows and is familiar with Tang Zheng's appearance.
Tang Zheng smiled and saluted to the two academy assistants. Just as he was about to enter, another academy assistant suddenly said, "Do well in the exam. The head deacon and the first deacon are very optimistic about you. Don't let them down!"
Tang Zheng looked at the academy assistant, whose hair was already gray. He had a cold face and spoke in a cold tone, but his words were full of encouragement and motivation.
Yisu Academy is not using him as an excuse for the low graduation rate over the years.
They really hope that he can be admitted and become the pride of Yisu Academy!
Tang Zheng nodded at him affirmatively and strode into the examination room.
The examination venue this time was located in the reading courtyard of the academy.
It is slightly smaller than the square used for the assessment on the first day.
But looking around, the 660 examination tables and chairs, neatly arranged with about ten feet of spacing within the inner courtyard wall, still gave a spectacular feeling.
All tables and chairs are ranked according to the scores of the first game.
According to Tang Zheng's full score on the first day's assessment, he was undoubtedly ranked first!
Jiang Wuyan is second, Tang Xiaotang is third, and so on...
The other warriors who came to take part in the assessment, after sitting down, all looked at the people sitting in the front row, with envy, jealousy, secretly working hard, and all kinds of emotions and expressions.
"Tang Zheng, if I had known I would see you at Yisuli Academy!" Jiang Wuyan, who had entered the examination room a long time ago and was sitting next to Tang Zheng, looked at Tang Zheng who came in and sat down, and spoke quietly.
In the first game, he came in second with just a slight difference, being beaten by Tang Zheng.
Although he felt a sense of sympathy towards Tang Zheng, he still felt a little angry.
Of course, no matter how unwilling he was, Jiang Wuyan still knew the gap between himself and Tang Zheng.
In terms of actual combat, Jiang Wuyan, who had already competed with Tang Zheng during the demon tide, naturally knew how terrifying Tang Zheng's actual combat ability was. Even though he had increased his already diligent training since that day, Jiang Wuyan felt that he had less than a 50% chance of defeating Tang Zheng in the third assessment.
Originally, he thought that in terms of talent and aptitude in the first match, he would be able to temporarily defeat Tang Zheng...
But who would have thought that Xiang Lao would actually reveal some mysterious astrological signs that were so mysterious that even Xiang Lao and Tang Zheng himself could not explain them clearly.
If he wanted to catch up and take first place in the final result, his greatest chance would be in the second written test.
Jiang Wuyan was designated as the eldest son of the royal family and was trained as a prince since he was young. He is both talented in literature and martial arts.
Hearing Jiang Wuyan's provocative words, Tang Zheng smiled softly, "Brother Jiang? I'm lucky enough to sit next to you. Okay, okay. If I don't know how to write something later, you'd better help me and show me the answer..."
