666: Chapter 210: The Perfect Answer to the Literary Match (Part 2) 666: Chapter 210: The Perfect Answer to the Literary Match (Part 2) Ye Yinzhu naturally did not know that Kleyena was already thinking about keeping him in the Landias Empire.
Although he did not know what Cruz was really thinking, from the changes in Cruz’s eyes before and after, he understood that his chances of passing the re-examination were high.
Night fell upon the Landias Palace.
“Phoenix, are you ready?
The finals of the literary and martial petition are just a few days away.” Emperor Maximo once again came to the Phoenix Palace, which was as desolate as ever, and his daughter still resembled the eternal icy coldness.
Sura said indifferently, “There’s nothing to prepare.
Haven’t you already arranged everything?”
Emperor Maximo said, “This petition is unprecedentedly grand.
According to tradition, when the finals arrive, the royal family will watch the final petition alongside the distinguished guests from various countries.
The re-examination for the literary match ended today, and I heard from Cruz that there was an impressive young man in the literary match re-examination, with remarkable military talent and good character and appearance, …”
“Enough.
I have already told you, I returned to Landias to help you with this matter as my final condition.
If you continue with this, you won’t see me at the finals.”
Sura did not give Emperor Maximo any face, her voice exceptionally cold.
Watching his daughter keep people at a thousand miles’ distance, Emperor Maximo sighed silently and said no more, turning to leave.
“This is the last time I let you use me.
Do you want to give me happiness?
My happiness was destroyed a long time ago.” Tears flowed down her cheeks, yet strangely, Sura’s face still showed no expression as she wept.
…
Before participating in the martial arts re-examination, Ye Yinzhu first went to check the results of the literary match re-examination.
From a thousand candidates, only ten were chosen, and Ye Yinzhu found number four hundred and sixty-two, which was Kleyena’s number during the re-examination, in the fifth position.
In the first row, he found his own number, six hundred and thirteen.
That was the number he had exchanged for before the re-examination.
The tag was inside his Sumeru Divine Ring.
When Ye Yinzhu arrived at yesterday’s literary match venue to exchange for his final match token, from afar, he already saw Kleyena waiting there with a smile.
Besides the smile, her charming face showed a hint of dissatisfaction.
“Hello, Miss Kleyena, we meet again.” Ye Yinzhu walked over, took his re-examination number out, and placed it on the table in front of the staff.
The staff member in charge of exchanging the cards quickly stood up and respectfully took the card to check it.
The ten who had entered the finals would be valued by Landias no matter their final ranking, and they did not dare to neglect them.
When the staff member saw that Ye Yinzhu’s number corresponded with the first place personally appointed by Marshal Cruz in the re-examination, his gaze towards Ye Yinzhu instantly became even more respectful, and he reverently handed over a token with a magical aura engraved with the number “One” to Ye Yinzhu.
“Why did you leave just like that yesterday?
You didn’t even wait for me.” Kleyena looked at the calm smile on Ye Yinzhu’s face and for some reason felt an itching to punch someone.
Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “Our paths were different.”
Kleyena huffed, “That’s just an excuse.
As a man, can’t you wait for a girl?
After all, we submitted our papers together.”
Ye Yinzhu, seeing Kleyena showing her childish side for the first time in front of him, couldn’t help but laugh and said, “I thought Marshal Cruz would keep you for a longer chat; it’s not good to disturb one’s niece.
I didn’t expect Miss Kleyena to be Marshal Cruz’s star pupil.”
Kleyena’s expression suddenly calmed down, and she gave Ye Yinzhu a deep look, saying, “Ye Su, can we find a place to talk?”
Ye Yinzhu was momentarily stunned but, piecing together her relationship with Cruz, he vaguely guessed she wanted to recruit him.
He inwardly sighed, foolish girl, we are adversaries, and I can never e to Landias.
If it were Sura trying to recruit me, perhaps …
“I’m sorry, Miss Kleyena, I have other matters to attend to.
Let’s meet tomorrow during the magic retest,” he said.
After nodding to Kleyena, he turned and left.
“Hey—” Kleyena called out, somewhat annoyed, but Ye Yinzhu didn’t turn back; instead, he walked even faster.
Furious, Kleyena stamped her foot and felt indignant.
Am I some kind of monster?
Why is he running away so quickly?
By the time Ye Yinzhu arrived at the martial match retest venue, it was already overcrowded.
Under the mand of the Landias Royal Guard, most of the thousand participants had already arrived and were lined up neatly.
They wore standardized martial garb issued by Landias, with head covers, and stood in relatively orderly rows, quietly waiting.
The identical attire concealed everyone’s faces, making it impossible to recognize anyone at a glance.
Ye Yinzhu put on his own clothes, donned his head cover, was verified by the Royal Guard with his participation number, and then entered the venue.
Only after entering did he see that the martial match venue had undergone significant changes.
The number of participants had been reduced from twenty thousand to just a thousand, which made the vast venue seem quite empty.
At this moment, all one thousand retest petitors were gathered not far from the entrance of the venue.
Meanwhile, in the center of the venue, the intense fluctuations of magic made even a powerful person like Ye Yinzhu feel slightly startled.
Within the venue, over a hundred people were busy arranging Array, with dazzling Crystal Stones sparkling on the ground.
These were hexagonal Silver Void Stones, flickering strong silver light.
Ye Yinzhu had seen these Magic gemstones before; they contained a tremendous amount of Space Attribute magic power and were considered top-quality Magic gemstones.
But now, there were as many as ten thousand Silver Void Stones appearing in this venue, and the busy one hundred or so people were all Mages.
Mysterious patterns had been inscribed on the ground at some unknown time, and these Mages were positioning the Silver Void Stones in specific spots within the intricate patterns.
With each Silver Void Stone set in place, the concentration of Space Attribute Magic Elements in the air grew increasingly intense.
Other warriors may not know what they were witnessing, but Ye Yinzhu understood all too well.
This was a Magic Formation, a Spatial Magic Formation.
Judging by the arrangement, the magic power of this Array would be extremely formidable; he just didn’t know what it was used for.
On the foremost platform, an elderly Mage caught Ye Yinzhu’s attention.
A silver Magic Robe enshrouded his body and a purple badge carved with a silver Hexagram pattern on his chest was what drew Ye Yinzhu’s notice—a Zi rank Sorcerer, and a Space Attribute one at that.
Ye Yinzhu just didn’t know his exact rank.
It was this old Mage who was directing the Mages below to arrange the Array.
Without a doubt, this Magic Formation was being orchestrated by him.
While waiting, the martial match petitors inevitably municated with one another, and some grumbled as well.
There was plenty of time, so why were they setting up the Magic Formation only now?
Ye Yinzhu could quite understand this point.
With so many Magic gemstones being used in the Array and considering their value, it would not be easy even for the Landias Empire to bear the cost.
If someone stole part of the Array after it was prematurely arranged, not only would the Array be impossible to set up, but it could also lead to other serious repercussions.
It was practical to inscribe the Array in advance and embed the Crystal Stones at this time; it wouldn’t take too long and also wouldn’t attract covetous eyes.
Indeed, with the joint efforts of the numerous Mages, the vast Spatial Formation was soon pleted.
The Mages left one after another, leaving only the Grand Spatial Sorcerer and another person on the platform upfront.
All other guards stood watch below.
Imperial Minister of Military Affairs, Crespo, stood beside the Grand Sorcerer, his gaze sweeping over the thousand petitors nearby.
Under his scrutiny, the chatter among the petitors fell into silence.
“The martial match retest will mence shortly.
I am Crespo, the Landias Empire Minister of Military Affairs.
Let me introduce to you the person standing by my side, the Vice President of the Imperial Mage Guild, Grand Spatial Sorcerer, Master Seng.
The retest for the warrior class will be presided over by Master Seng himself,” he said.
Without any sound amplification devices, Crespo’s voice carried far and wide, ensuring not just that the petitors heard him clearly but also the public outside the venue.
All sorts of cheers rose one after the other, mostly shouting Master Seng’s name.
Grand Sorcerer Seng looked calm, only watching the Magic Formation in front of him, without glancing at the petitors.
Minister Crespo’s voice rang out again, “Soon, the retest will officially begin.
All petitors will enter the Spatial Magic Formation activated by Master Seng.
Through the Magic Formation, you will enter a virtual space of magic.
Each of you will receive a gemstone to enter the Array; only with this gemstone will you be able to sustain presence within the Array.
Any petitors who lose their gemstone or are killed will be ejected from the Array and returned to reality.
Your task is to snatch as many gemstones as possible from other petitors.
The retest will end when the sun begins to set, and the five people who have acquired the most gemstones from others will bee the winners of the retest.
To achieve victory, you must continually defeat those around you.
You have no reason to be wary of the identities of other petitors.
With matching attire and head covers, no one will be able to recognize your identity.
What you need to do is to let go of any reservations and exert all your strength.”
