Chapter 233: Chapter 114: You’re Quite the Instigator, Aren’t You?

’A Yun Dynasty will be established!’

’I have grown old!’

’Great Yu’s future will need you all to take the helm!’

’But who will it be?’

’I do not know!’

’So, you must all contend for it!’

’Oh, right. The secret of the Yun Dynasty is hidden within a Xiaobi Zai Zhi named Ying Rui.’

’Tomorrow, I’ll let you all see just how magical he is, shall I?’

’Tell me, with such a rare person, whoever can win him over, won’t they be the founding emperor of the new Yun Dynasty?’

’You two, hurry up and start fighting!’

Zhao Ci even recalled Old Deng’s instructions from yesterday. It was obvious he wanted both sides to investigate each other’s illicit operations. ’The Cao Bang, the Salt Gang, the Five Poison Sect... Confiscate all their assets and fill the national treasury!’

’This whole operation...’

’The old fire-starter.’

’You’re just too good at fanning the flames!’

Zhao Ci looked up and, just as he expected, saw a line of text above Old Deng’s head.

[Zhao Huan’s Current Wish]: Let them see clearly that I truly wish to re-establish the Yun Dynasty. Wish Fulfillment Reward: Insight +100, True Sight Talisman x1.

Zhao Ci: ”...”

He felt this wish was a bit strange, as if it didn’t quite match Old Deng’s mood.

But he couldn’t quite put his finger on what was strange about it.

The challenges continued.

As expected, Ying Rui ran through everyone from Prince Ying’s Mansion and the Ninth Prince’s Mansion.

Under the power of his various maxims that could borrow the nation’s fortune, not a single person could withstand him.

Among so many people, only one person had ever managed to gain the upper hand.

That was Yongzi.

Yongzi had successfully forged his bones, tempering his entire skeleton to the second grade.

With a Meat and Soul Third Grade, and his muscles and bones at the second grade, the combat power he could unleash was frankly incredible.

Although his speed and strength were still about twenty percent less than Ying Rui’s.

But his combat techniques were incredibly polished. Compared to just a few days ago, he seemed to have undergone a metamorphosis, as if he were on the verge of true mastery.

Relying on his fighting skills, he actually managed to suppress Ying Rui for a time.

But unexpectedly.

Ying Rui uttered a single word, ”Suppress,” directly restricting Yongzi’s movements, then claimed victory with a single sword strike.

Logically speaking, the experts from both mansions had been run through.

Ying Rui could have easily entered either one he chose. However, he deliberately left the weakest person in both mansions undefeated, thus failing to achieve a ”full clear” and not joining either one.

Then, his gaze turned to the Tenth Prince’s Mansion.

He beckoned to Yang Mo with a hooked finger. ”You, the most pathetic one in the Tenth Prince’s Mansion, get the hell down here!”

The moment he said this, the entire crowd erupted in an uproar.

Just moments ago, Ying Rui had at least been picking experts.

But when it came to the Tenth Prince’s Mansion, he chose the weakest one, Yang Mo.

And it was the first time he had used such a deeply insulting command.

And yet, despite this provocative behavior, neither Zhao Yan, the host, nor Zhao Huan, who was gracing the Prefecture Examination with his presence, raised any objection.

Even the slowest among them should have realized by now... this Ying Rui was sent by Zhao Huan.

Zhao Ci: ”???”

Zhu Li: ”???”

Feng Kucha: ”???”

The three of them turned in unison to look at Yang Mo, only to see his face was so dark it looked as if water might drip from it.

The most terrifying part was that deep in his eyes, besides the hostility, there was also an indescribable fear and helplessness.

It was like an incredibly ugly woman, who had gone out wearing a mask, was about to have it ripped off.

[Yang Mo’s Current Wish]: I hope that after this fight, I won’t be kicked out of the Tenth Prince’s Mansion and won’t be crushed by my Heart Demon. Wish Fulfillment Reward: Insight +1000, Demon Relief Talisman x1.

Zhao Ci: ”???”

’This is bad!’

’I just helped Lao Mo build up a little confidence.’

’Is this Xiaobi Zai Zhi with the surname Ying coming for me?’

He put a hand on Yang Mo’s. ”Lao Mo, I’ll go take care of him!”

But Yang Mo stood up anyway. His lips trembled, but he gritted his teeth and said, ”He challenged me. I have to face him!”

With that said, he walked onto the Martial Arts Arena, trembling.

Zhao Ci was dumbfounded. ”...”

’What the hell!’

’I clearly stuck the Rash Man Talisman on him!’

’Why is he still shaking?’

’Damn it!’

’Just how strong is this Heart Demon?’

’Even a talisman from the system doesn’t work?’

「At this moment.」

On the Martial Arts Arena, the two stood facing each other.

Yang Mo’s gaze was lowered, his posture slightly stooped.

Ying Rui, however, watched him with amusement. ”During the Martial Arts Competition a few days ago, the Tenth Prince was the strongest in my eyes. But how did his mansion end up taking in a piece of trash like you?

You don’t have to be afraid. Of all the Magic I used earlier, I’ll only use one to dispel evil toxins.

With just my Swordsmanship, I can still crush you!”

Yang Mo: ”!?!?!?”
