The high-pitched roar of dragons sometimes surged in the sky, and the majestic momentum filled the air above the nine tribute courtyards.
Sitting on the throne, Emperor Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Guan, what's the matter?"
Shaking his head slightly, Guan Zhong stared at Gongyuan in the distance and said, "I just have a feeling of palpitations!"
The feeling of palpitations! Emperor Qi's eyes froze for a moment, and then he chuckled: "During the big exam, countless strong people are guarding here!"
"I'm afraid no one dares to cause trouble at this time. The Prime Minister is worrying too much!"
Even so, the uneasy feeling in Guan Zhong's heart became more and more intense.
"What my emperor said is absolutely true!"
"Who would not have the foresight to cause trouble at this moment!"
The ministers under the sacrificial platform all agreed.
"The chess test of the Eighth Gongyuan should have started. I just don't know how many people will be able to enter the Shenglong Gongyuan this time!"
Emperor Qi looked a little expectant. After losing powerful men such as Sun Bin and Tian Ji, Qi State seemed to be a strong person on the outside but a capable person on the inside.
Now, what he hopes most is to recruit some talents and strengthen Qi's strength.
In the eighth tribute courtyard, space ripples slowly appeared.
Several figures walked out of the ripples in space. The first one was a scholar wearing a jade crown and a green shirt, the second one was a pale and sick young man, and the third one was an expressionless middle-aged man.
, the fourth one is an old man with a kind face.
And the fifth one is Ye Chen.
Five figures appeared slowly. Ye Chen raised his eyes and saw that the eighth tribute courtyard was extremely empty.
On the open ground, stone platforms stood one after another.
On the stone platform, there was an aura of great vicissitudes of life.
In front of these stone platforms, an old man with white beard and hair and eyebrows sat one after another. There was a majestic aura surrounding these old men, as vast as the heaven and earth.
At the same time, a chessboard was placed in front of these old men.
"The examiner for the eighth chess test is actually a senior from Jixia Academy!"
The scholar who was the first to step into the Gongyuan said with a slightly solemn tone.
Jixia Academy! Ye Chen's heart moved slightly. He had heard of this name. It was the highest academic institution in the country.
"This test is a chess test. Anyone who defeats a random person on the stone platform can pass this test!"
A thick sound echoed in the air, like thousands of thunders, and lingered for a long time.
Bang bang! Among the five figures, four figures immediately shot out and flew onto one of the stone platforms.
Only Ye Chen stood motionless, his eyes far away behind the stone platform. Even though they were hundreds of feet apart, Ye Chen sensed Emperor Qi's aura.
"Ten people condensed into one original body, six people condensed into two original bodies, and three people condensed into three original bodies!"
"Add dozens of martial arts realms!" Ye Chen's heart moved slightly. After losing so many strong people, Qi country still has such strong people.
Among them, three condensed the aura of the original body, with Guan Zhong's aura being the strongest.
At the same time, Ye Chen also noticed that this ninth Gongyuan was unusual. It contained numerous restrictions, and these restrictions were vaguely connected to the other eight Gongyuan.
Standing quietly, Ye Chen closed his eyes tightly and didn't move at all.
The restrictions in the ninth Gongyuan appeared in Ye Chen's mind one by one, and Ye Chen quickly calculated how to break these restrictions.
On the stone platform, several old men looked at Ye Chen with slightly strange eyes.
A moment later, more than a hundred figures appeared in the eighth tribute courtyard. As soon as these people appeared, they looked at Ye Chen strangely. Why didn't this guy take the chess test?
Hundreds of breaths later, the scholar who was the first to step into the Gongyuan suddenly stood up, raised his hands to the old man in front of him, and said, "Admit it!"
Before he finished speaking, the scholar's figure disappeared in vain.
After a few breaths, the sick young man also got up, obviously defeating his opponent.
More and more people are passing the chess test, and at the same time, the number of people in the eighth tribute courtyard is also increasing.
It was only at this moment that Ye Chen opened his eyes, raised his steps, and appeared on a stone platform in one step.
On this stone platform, an old man with an immortal spirit was sitting. The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Chen. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. When Ye Chen stepped into the eighth tribute courtyard,
He noticed it, but Ye Chen didn't move, which made him full of doubts.
"You, Zhibai, go first!" the old man said loudly, his voice as loud as thunder.
Ye Chen sat down slowly and looked at the old man calmly. With just one glance, he could tell that this man understood Haoran's Rules, and there were Haoran Rules lingering between his eyebrows from time to time.
Bang! Ye Chen raised his right hand at will, and a rule of ice lingered on his fingertips, forming a chess piece and landing in the center of the chessboard, at the Tianyuan position!
Tianyuan! The old man's pupils shrank sharply, and he looked at Ye Chen with a strange look. For the first time, he saw someone who was the first son to take the position of Tianyuan, Tianyuan, the Nine-Nine Supreme Position.
"You can't be in this position!" The old man said in a low voice with a sharp tone.
Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "Why?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, and your ministers, please do not overstep your position!" the old man reminded.
"Really?" Ye Chen said lightly: "I'll soon get used to playing Tianyuan!"
With a raised brow, the old man said nothing more, but felt a little angry in his heart, with a very arrogant tone.
Bang! The old man started the same move, and Haoran turned into a sunspot and landed on the chessboard.
Bang bang! Ye Chen made the move very quickly, as if he didn't think about it at all.
The old man's moves were also extremely fast, but at the end, his move speed was obviously a little slower.
When the sixtieth son fell, Ye Chen stood up and said calmly: "You lost!"
"I lost?" The old man's face suddenly changed, and he asked in astonishment: "Why did I lose before the game was even half played?"
Ye Chen did not explain, but just looked up at the sky quietly. A ripple in space appeared and fell on Ye Chen's body. Ye Chen's figure suddenly disappeared.
Seeing this scene, the old man realized that he had indeed lost this chess game, otherwise Ye Chen would not have been teleported to the ninth Gongyuan.
"How is this possible? I lost only half of the chess game!" The old man murmured, focusing his attention on the chessboard again, still reluctant to start, and one piece fell. In the originally dull chess game, a terrifying and incomparable sound appeared.
Killing intent surged out.
This killing intent was like a real sword light, instantly piercing the old man's soul.
Kaka! The old man's eyes instantly became blurred, and his soul was extinguished.
In the ninth tribute courtyard, the breeze came slowly, and a figure dressed in white like snow slowly appeared.
Rumo's long hair was fluttering in the wind. When Ye Chen stepped into the ninth Gongyuan, dozens of figures were already standing in front of him. All of these people were the best in this exam. Once this time
After the palace examination is over, these people will inevitably become the mainstay of Qi State.
The moment Ye Chen appeared, a series of eyes came to him.
Qi Huang just raised his eyes and closed his eyes again, "Within half an hour, twenty people have passed the chess test. According to this speed, there may be thousands of people who can pass the chess test this time!"
Thinking of this, Qi Huang's lips showed a faint smile.
However, at this moment, an inexplicable chill suddenly came over him, and Emperor Qi shuddered.
"What a shame! The palace examination has not yet begun, and no one else is allowed to set foot on the rooftop sacrificial platform!"
A majestic voice sounded, and the civil servants standing under the altar were scolding sternly.
Qi Huang opened his eyes and saw the young man in white clothes walking towards the rooftop.
Ye Chen ignored the stern scolding in front of him and walked forward expressionlessly. Behind him, dozens of people looked at this scene in astonishment, "What is he going to do?"
"Don't back down yet!" Seeing Ye Chen approaching, the civil servant's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. Under this scolding, he saw waves of thunder and a majestic wave rising in vain above the sun-drenched sky.
Incomparable pressure swept towards Ye Chen.
In response to this pressure, Ye Chen's eyes remained calm, and he spat out one word calmly: "Thunder!"
Thunder! Just one word, and the pressure that swept over him immediately disappeared.
As for the civil servant who spoke out, his face was extremely pale, and his whole body staggered backwards, while streaks of thunder surged out of his body uncontrollably.
Boom boom! Thunder rose into the sky, and the figure of this civil servant was reduced to ashes in an instant.
The sudden scene made everyone present look startled!
