As the chief referee of the Top 100 League, Liao Cangmang had a matter-of-fact expression on his face, thinking to himself: "You think it's strange because you haven't seen how Chen Shen behaved in the Top 100 competition.
A group of enemies!"
"To put it bluntly, the nine students who advanced to the top ten of the battle hall this time were completely lucky. Their wisest move was not to provoke the people they shouldn't provoke during the Top 100 Competition..."
Therefore, when Chen Zangfeng thought about it, it was the most normal choice for the boy who drew Chen Shen to admit defeat cleanly.
The battle hall finals, with five out of ten, ended quietly, accompanied by a flood of discussion from hundreds of thousands of spectators.
At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and the disciples of the Imperial City set up braziers around the Qianlong Platform, illuminating this small area like daylight.
In the second round of drawing lots, Chen Shen was the first to go and drew red.
Then, a young man named Zhao Mao drew the second draw, and he got the white bye draw. The other three players suddenly looked like they were crying!
When they think about it, the most ideal result would be for Chen Shen to get a bye, so that they still have the possibility of advancing to second place or third overall, but now...
When the next three contestants drew lots, their hands were shaking a little, and they couldn't help praying in their hearts: "Don't let me draw red, or I will compete with Chen Shen on the same stage!"
After a breath, a sudden scream lit up the night sky——
"Ah! Why me, why me!"
Everyone was stunned: What's going on here? Isn't it just a lottery? As for howling like this, it's like his own father is dead?
Then, the little boy didn't even bother to get on the Qianlong Platform, and said dejectedly: "I give up!"
The second one to admit defeat appeared again! And, again, he was fighting against Chen Shen.
Everyone was confused.
In the past, it was enough to admit defeat in five out of ten, and the reward would be one to two million gold at most.
But now the battle between four and two is directly related to the fate of the top three. As long as you grit your teeth and survive this round, you can be ranked third at worst...
Most of the onlookers couldn't understand what was going on.
As for those who know the truth, they are embarrassed to tell the truth because of their own dignity.
The dissatisfaction among the 100,000 spectators grew stronger.
Even the King of Great Xia couldn't stand it anymore and asked: "You are all elites who have gone through hard battles and reached the finals of the battle hall. Why are you both timid before the battle?"
The two contestants both had a wry smile on their faces. After kneeling down, they answered in unison: "Because the opponent drawn by the grassroots is Chen Shen."
"Fighting against him, the common people know that they have no chance of winning!"
"Oh? You are so sure that you don't even have the courage to try to fight?" The King of Daxia frowned slightly angrily.
"Your Majesty clearly knows that it's not that ordinary people are timid and timid, but that the opponent is too strong and has no chance of winning!"
"Yes! Yesterday, in the Top 100 competition, Senior Chen Shen defeated forty-seven opponents by himself. In the end, even Princess Xia Caiyue lost to him."
The two students' singing and harmonizing feedback sounded like thunder in the clear sky to the ears of 100,000 people at the scene!
Now they can finally understand why the top ten players in this battle hall are generally not very high in cultivation: they were all eliminated by the young man in black robe and silver gun on the stage!
"I didn't expect that even Xia Caiyue was defeated."
King Daxia murmured in his heart, then turned his gaze to Dean Liao who was not far away, and asked: "Is what they said the truth? Why didn't I see that girl Xia Caiyue? Even if she was eliminated from the top ten,
He should have come to the Imperial Capital Academy as a former top 100 person."
"Your Majesty, there is something hidden in this!"
Seeing that the other party was hesitating, Xia Yuanlong frowned: "But it doesn't matter!"
"As you command!"
Then, Liao Cangmang recounted the events that took place at the Royal Hunting Ground yesterday.
Of course, regarding Xia Caiyue's advance knowledge of the top three prizes in the war hall, Liao Cangmang did not say it in public, but planned to report it to the King of Daxia in private.
Because, after all, Xia Caiyue has royal blood in her body. Once this matter becomes known to everyone, where will the royal family's face be affected?
After listening to Dean Liao's statement, the King of Daxia nodded slightly: "Xia Lie disrupted the competition privately, and that girl Xia Caiyue was disqualified from the competition, so it is right. You handled this matter very fairly!"
"Your Majesty, I'm so complimentary. I'm just doing my job."
Liao Cangmang's tone of reply was very calm, and he didn't feel flattered at all.
The King of Daxia originally let Liao Cangmang sit on the throne of the dean of the Imperial Academy because he admired his upright character.
But now, Xia Yuanlong also felt a sense of helplessness because of the other party's upright temperament——
He originally prepared a prize for the granddaughter of Prince Huainan, and wanted to use this method to reward Prince Huainan. He never thought that in the end, this treasure would become someone else's.
"Chen Shen, Chen Shen, although you didn't mean to do it, you did ruin Gu's big event! No, Gu can't let you take away the prize of the No. 1 Scholar in the War Hall so easily..."
Thinking of this, the King of Daxia suddenly said: "If it is true as Liao Cangmang said, there will be no objections to the candidate for the number one scholar in this term."
"However, I am very unhappy! Because I have not seen the majesty of the No. 1 scholar when he surpasses all the heroes and conquers all directions!"
"In the past Hundred Schools League, Gu selected the top three based on the performance of those young talents. Chen Shen, do you understand what Gu means?"
The young man on the Qianlong Platform rolled his eyes and suddenly understood: "I'm going to cross you in circles. This emperor obviously wants me to have a big fight!"
Having been a man for two generations, Chen Shen's mind was much more mature than his peers, and he instantly understood the true intention of the King of Great Xia in doing this.
On the surface, he said that he wanted to see Chen Shen's strength, but in fact, he was deliberately performing it for King Huainan's spies, and through their mouths, he spread what happened today to King Huainan's ears.
In this way, when the two of them meet in the future, the emperor will be able to talk:
"I have worked very hard on your granddaughter's matter! I originally asked the top 100 students to besiege Chen Shen, and I took the opportunity to vent my anger on your granddaughter. I never thought that the young man could fight one against a hundred. I really had no choice but to do it.
The top prize was given to him. You can’t blame me for not showing favoritism to my own family!”
After seeing through this, Chen Shen rolled his eyes fiercely and cursed an old fox in his heart!
For the sake of his grandfather Chen Zangfeng, the young man concealed the slight dissatisfaction in his heart and followed the wishes of the King of Great Xia and said: "This is easy to handle, why don't you let me fight with the top 100 classmates in the battle hall again, Your Majesty
Naturally, I can judge impartially!"
Upon hearing this, the King of Daxia immediately stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction: "Hahaha! So brave! He is indeed the grandson of General Chen..."
