C2537 The Fight for First Place(part Ii)

It could be said that these examiners were quite crafty. If they did this, they would at least be able to avoid the pressure from the six great clans. As for the other pressures, they didn't care too much.

Huangfu Xuan directly crossed himself out on Chu Yang's answer scroll and then took himself as first.

Wang Lingyun was the same!

It was the same with Xie Xiubo!

In the end, of the six great young masters of the Great Capital City, only Shangguan Can had admitted that he was not as good as Chu Yang, and had chosen him as the top scorer for the literary test.

In truth, Yang Qingshi was also honored to be able to join this group. Naturally, he did not agree with Chu Yang and took Huangfu Xuan as the top candidate for the written test.

Because of this, the three examiners immediately felt that it was a great wisdom to bring Yang Qingshi into the group — whether it was Huangfu Xuan, Xie Xiubo, or the others, they had all chosen him. Therefore, it was very difficult to choose who would take first place, but with Yang Qingshi's help, everything was easily resolved.

Seven days later, when the written results were announced, Huangfu Xuan's name was shockingly placed at the first position, followed by the names of Shangguan Can, Wang Lingyun, and the five others. He was placed second, followed by Yang Qingshi!

Chu Yang was ranked below Yang Qingshi.

It was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples!

The moment this kind of ranking was announced, the whole place was immediately filled with clamor.

"Huangfu Xuan is actually first place in this time's written examination, he —"

Halfway through his words, he did not continue speaking. He was simply questioning Huangfu Xuan's character.

"Shangguan Can, Xie Xiubo, Wang Lingyun, they are all ranked second amongst the six great young masters of the imperial city. Besides Huangfu Xuan, the other five are all ranked second. How could there be such a coincidence?" Or could it be that the strength of the five of them are really that close? "

"The six noble young masters of Grand Capital City are ranked first, while Yang Qingshi is ranked second. There's nothing strange about this!"

"Indeed, it's not strange, but —"

Of course there was, it was not strange for Yang Qingshi to be ranked third, but it was strange for Chu Yang to be ranked fourth. As for why people felt that way, they did not know either.

They believed that the problem lay in the topic of martial spirits —

According to the rankings, Chu Yang's Martial Spirit was definitely not as good as the six Young Masters of Taijing City, or even Yang Qingshi! However, according to this method, Chu Yang should be inferior to many others. Because of the Martial Spirit's comprehension, there should be many people that surpassed Chu Yang.

For example, Ru Yi Zi from the Ru Yi Immortal Sect, or Yang Linyi, the son of the Rebel General!

The two of them were behind Wu Chou!

Chu Yang wasn't surprised at all when he found out about this, because he knew too much. The examiner was just a dog, it would be strange if he didn't.

He was not without any reaction. He directly asked, "Do you dare to post my answer scrolls?"

Not one of them said a word to him.

He was also very straightforward. He found a place and posted his answer scrolls on it, saying once again, "Who can match me in this year's Imperial Examinations of Grand Capital!"

When Chu Yang's answer scroll was published, it immediately gave rise to tens of thousands of waves. After the answer scrolls people looked at it, they were only amazed and felt that this answer scroll was almost perfect and could get a perfect score.

If such an answer scroll couldn't even get first place, or even second or third place, then how perfect would Huangfu Xuan and the others' answer scrolls be?

Such doubt was in the hearts of almost everyone. If it was Chu Yang, he would definitely not accept it.

After that, Chu Yang opened his mouth for the third time, "The eyes of the masses are bright, do they dare to post the top three answers, letting them judge and grade?"

Thus, the reaction of the crowd was even more intense. If the Wen Palace did not respond, then it would be equivalent to admitting defeat, and completely forcing the Wen Palace to the heart of the struggle.

So, everyone was waiting for the Wen Palace to respond. They were also waiting for the response of the six young masters of the Ancient Capital — That bumpkin Chu Yang made his move, do you really have the ability to make a bumpkin submit?2
