Capítulo 986: Chapter 997: The First Punch
The light of the Chaos Chart shot straight into the clouds, illuminating the nine mountain peaks in a snowy white color.
On a side peak, Zhao Family Ancestor Zhao Liangdong couldn’t help but be overjoyed, clapping his hands and laughing, thinking in his heart: “In decades, this is the second ti there’s been a change in the Chaos Chart. The last ti it was Fang Jinchun, and today it’s my Zhao Family’s disciple. It won’t be long before my Zhao Family’s disciple beats Fang Jinchun and becos the top figure at Mozi Academy.”
Thinking of this, Zhao Liangdong glanced at the Fang Family Ancestor on a distant mountain peak and saw that the Fang Family Ancestor’s face was calm, with no change in expression at all.
Zhao Liangdong could not help but be puzzled again, thinking: When my Zhao Family achieves sothing, that old man Fang Hong is always the first to get angry and shout, so why is he so calm today? What’s going on?
At this mont, the light of the Chaos Chart receded, revealing that the chart had indeed changed.
Originally, there was only one na in tenth place, Zhao Fen, but now there were two, with Zhao Fen first and then Zhao Hanli.
Both nas had the sa six characters following them.
Seeing this, Zhao Liangdong intentionally said to Fang Hong: “Elder Fang, if my Zhao Family has three nas on the Chaos Chart, it’s one more than your Fang Family.”
At this mont, the Zhao Family indeed had one more na than the Fang Family on the Chaos Chart.
The nas were Zhao Liangdong in fifth, Zhao Fen, and Zhao Hanli in tenth place.
While the Fang Family had only two, Fang Jinchun in third and Fang Hong in fourth.
Although the Fang Family only had two, their value was much higher than the Zhao Family’s.
Zhao Liangdong knew this well, yet he intentionally spoke to Fang Hong to test him.
Fang Hong replied calmly, “Unfortunately, you won’t be proud for long.”
Hearing Fang Hong’s words, Zhao Liangdong beca even more puzzled and pondered: What does Fang Hong an? What does he an by not being proud for long? Could it be that the Fang Family will have soone on the list next year? Is it Fang Family’s fourth grandson, Fang Jindong? Impossible, the four grandsons of the Fang Family are said to be inferior to one another; Fang Jinqiu is just a drunkard, let alone Fang Jindong.
anwhile, Zhao Hanli was already being helped to his feet by Zhao Xuebo.
He Wanrui had long since run over, excitedly surrounding Zhao Hanli, while other successful disciples also gathered around, congratulating Zhao Hanli repeatedly.
“Congratulations, Chief Senior Brother.”
“Chief Senior Brother’s cultivation is indeed profound; we are truly impressed.”
“Yes, impressed, very impressed.”
The crowd enthusiastically surrounded Zhao Hanli like stars around the moon.
Zhao Hanli glanced at his na on the Chaos Chart and couldn’t help but feel proud.
Though he hadn’t caught up to Fang Jinchun, leaving his na on the Chaos Chart still made him one of Mozi Academy’s top ten figures.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hanli was extrely pleased. Surrounded by people, he felt like a star among the moon, bypassed the Chaos Bell, and headed towards the mountain staircase.
The other disciples who weren’t selected knew that the test was over and would have to wait for another opportunity next year, looking dejected as they prepared to leave.
At that mont, a person suddenly said lightly, “There’s still !”
Hearing this voice, everyone was taken aback, and Zhao Xuebo, Zhao Hanli, and others who were already on the steps turned around.
They saw a lone person standing in the open area before the Chaos Bell.
Seeing there was indeed one person left, Zhao Xuebo frowned, suddenly rembering that there was indeed soone who hadn’t undergone the test yet.
Zhao Xuebo glanced at Zhao Hanli and apologetically said, “Let’s wait a mont.”
Then, Zhao Xuebo, a bit impatient, said to the person, “What’s your na? Oh… forget it, just go ring the bell, hurry up.”
As he spoke, Zhao Xuebo stood half-turned on the steps, ready to resu climbing at any mont.
At this ti, on a high peak, Fang Hong sneered, “Ignorant Zhao Family brat, you’ll be crying soon enough.”
The last remaining person was Wang Yan.
Ignoring Zhao Xuebo’s dismissive tone and the mocking expressions from those around him, Wang Yan walked slowly to the Chaos Bell, gradually raised his fist, and brought it down.
Seeing Wang Yan move so slowly, Zhao Xuebo grew a bit anxious, but rembering his duty, he restrained himself from urging him multiple tis. Seeing Wang Yan finally raise his fist, Zhao Xuebo sighed in relief, turned his head, and began to assist Zhao Hanli up the stairs.
The others were also ready to leave once Wang Yan was thrown back by the rebound.
However, just as Zhao Xuebo and others turned around, they suddenly heard the hum of the Chaos Bell behind them.
Hearing this sound, everyone was stunned and quickly turned back to look towards the Chaos Bell.
They saw Wang Yan standing there, his fist retracted, while the Chaos Bell was indeed vibrating slightly.
“How is that possible? He actually rang the Chaos Bell?”
Everyone was amazed and imdiately turned their gaze towards Wang Yan’s face.
They saw Wang Yan’s expression was calm, with no sign of injuries from ringing the Chaos Bell.
“Was it really him who rang the Chaos Bell?”
“Why isn’t he injured?”
“He didn’t even seem to be out of breath! Could he have used a magical treasure?”
No one believed Wang Yan actually rang the Chaos Bell.
Yet no one had witnessed Wang Yan’s process of striking the Chaos Bell, so no one could refute it.
Zhao Liangdong felt a twinge of unease in his heart, sensing sothing was amiss.
Then, Zhao Xuebo angrily asked Wang Yan, “How exactly did you ring the Chaos Bell? Strike it again!”
But Wang Yan simply stood before the Chaos Bell, not lifting his fist again, but rather studying the Chaos Bell closely.
Seeing this, Zhao Xuebo and the others beca more convinced that Wang Yan hadn’t struck it with his fist; otherwise, why wouldn’t he continue to strike it again after the first ti?
Zhao Xuebo urged once more, “Quickly, strike it a second ti.”
Despite this, Wang Yan remained motionless, as if he hadn’t heard Zhao Xuebo.
Those around began to shout.
“He must have cheated; there’s no way he could ring the Chaos Bell.”
“That’s right, he hasn’t even seen a spatial teleportation treasure, how could he ring the Chaos Bell.”
“Hmph, a real disgrace, resorting to cheating.”
…
However, Zhao Hanli felt a slight unease in his heart and suggested to Zhao Xuebo, “Master Zhao, since he cheated and has poor character, why not expel him from Mozi Academy, never to return.”
Zhao Hanli wished to quickly rid himself of Wang Yan to eliminate his uneasy feeling.
Hearing Zhao Hanli’s suggestion, Zhao Xuebo nodded and said, “Indeed, such a person doesn’t belong at Mozi Academy.”
Just as Zhao Hanli was about to have Wang Yan expelled, Wang Yan lifted his fist again.
