675: Chapter 213: Advancing to the Finals (Part 2) _1 675: Chapter 213: Advancing to the Finals (Part 2) _1 On the day of the finals, the morning will hold the final literary match, to establish a ranking.
The final assessment of these ten candidates will be overseen by the Literary Master Wen Yue.
Surprisingly, the traditional martial arts final isn’t held in the afternoon, but instead, the magic final is held.
It will be hosted by the Peak Magic Master.
Once the magic final is over, regardless of the time, the final martial arts match will mence immediately.
It will be presided over by the Peak Martial Master.
When all three finals have been held, the top twenty contestants from each petition will line up based on their rankings to be chosen by the Phoenix Princess as her prince consort.
This part of the announcement didn’t undergo much change except for the order of the magic and martial arts finals.
However, in the latter part, a rule had been added.
It is stated that the winners of the three petitions will have the opportunity to display their talents to the princess and earn the opportunity to present gifts to her.
In other words, the champions of the literary, martial, and magic petitions would have a much larger chance of catching the princess’s eye than the others.
The final literary match will be held in seclusion.
Not only are civilians not permitted to spectate, but even allied national dignitaries are not allowed.
However, for the magic and martial skill petitions, everyone is permitted to watch within a certain range.
As for who the masters of the literary, martial, and magic petitions are, this will only be announced at the start of the finals.
This has left a mystery in the hearts of the public.
In the early morning, the window was pushed open, a warm breeze rushed in, and the fresh air brought a refreshing feeling to the hot summer.
Talking a deep breathe of the refreshing air, Ye Yinzhu stretched wide his arms to the side.
Gazing in the direction of the Landias Palace, he silently prayed in his heart, ‘Sura, I hope we can truly meet today.’
Putting on the Divine Source Magic Robe, bringing the mask that concealed his identity, Ye Yinzhu, Purple, Glacis, and Ming headed towards the hotel exit together.
Before he even left the hotel door, he encountered an acquaintance.
Kleyena looked at the handsome yet expressionless Ye Yinzhu, her eyes revealing a strange brilliance.
Originally, she should have sought him out yesterday, but for some reason, Kleyena felt frightened, she didn’t even understand why she was feeling such emotions.
Vaguely, she felt Ye Yinzhu brought more danger than she had thought.
After Crespo and Cruz had returned and carefully asked Kleyena about the process of meeting Ye Yinzhu, through the Saintess of Light, Marina, they verified that Ye Yinzhu was not from Faran as they had suspected.
But Marina didn’t make clear, regarding Faran, the Saintess of Light’s understanding is not much better than the ordinary people.
Ever since she became a disciple of Tower Master Aubrey, she spent most of her time cultivating and was not clear about how many powerful individuals were in Faran.
Without reaching the position of Master of Faran’s Seventh Tower, no one could possibly know the real secrets of Faran’s Seventh Tower.
Crespo struggled for a long time and finally decided to let his daughter approach Ye Yinzhu as a trial.
But yesterday, Kleyena refused.
Although she didn’t know Ye Yinzhu’s true identity and if he was truly a junior mage from Arcadia Kingdom as he claimed.
But she already considered him a friend.
How could she watch her friend with ulterior motives?
Therefore, until this morning, as soon as day broke, Kleyena couldn’t help but run out and went directly to this hotel in search of Ye Yinzhu.
She consoled herself that she came to find him to go to the literary match finals together, there was no other purpose.
“Ye Su,” Kleyena saw Ye Yinzhu descend from the staircase and quickly went to meet him.
Ye Yinzhu seemed different today than he had been over the past few days, while he still possessed the same noble elegance, there was now an imposing intensity about him.
Although Kleyena didn’t know why this changed occurred, she could sense an imbalance from the mysterious youth before her.
“Hello, Miss Kleyena,” Ye Yinzhu greeted politely.
Kleyena asked: “The finals are about to begin, are you nervous?”
Ye Yinzhu nodded subconsciously, “Yes, a bit.”
Kleyena laughed suddenly, “So, you do get nervous too!” Of course, she didn’t know what Ye Yinzhu was referring to when he said he was nervous.
Another person who laughed with Kleyena was Glacis.
He chuckled, “So, Zither, oh, no, Young Master, you do get nervous!
This is truly a first for me.”
Ye Yinzhu glared at Glacis, and he shut his mouth awkwardly.
Kleyena gently pounded Ye Yinzhu’s arm.
“What are you doing, scaring Uncle Baldy?
Stop picking on the honest folks.” Kleyena was indeed born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but she was kind to everyone.
All the servants and guards in her home loved her.
Even though she was not of royal descent, every high-ranking personality in the Landias Empire knew about Princess Kleyena.
Emperor Maximo’s affection for her even eclipsed his own children’s, and he took her in as an adopted daughter.
Ye Yinzhu was momentarily dumbstruck.
“What did you say?
He’s honest?” This time, not only had Ye Yinzhu’s tense mood relaxed somewhat, but a slight smile appeared on his face.
The expressions on Ming and Zi behind him also turned weird.
What was surprising was that a redness appeared on Glacis’s face.
“Exactly, young master.
You can’t always pick on me, an honest man!”
Honest?
The great War Behemoth Glacis was described as honest, and Ye Yinzhu really wanted to inform Kleyena that this guy had at least eighty to a hundred thousand lives on his hands.
If you saw his exhibits on the battlefield, you probably wouldn’t call him honest anymore.
“Alright, let’s go.
The final round of the literary contest is about to start.” Ye Yinzhu did not further elaborate on the topic, leading the way out.
Kleyena watched Ye Yinzhu’s tall and upright figure, recalling what her father had said.
As per Emperor Maximo’s orders, she would do everything possible to keep this enigmatic man around.
Judging by her father’s undertones in his words, if they couldn’t keep him in Landias, then…
With these thoughts, Kleyena couldn’t help but worry a bit, causing her mood to sink slightly.
She quickly caught up with Ye Yinzhu, walking alongside him.
After leaving the hotel, the group of five headed straight for the outskirts of the city.
The hotel Ye Yinzhu had chosen was not too far from the petition venue on the outskirts of the city.
An average person could reach it within half an hour of walking.
“Ye Su, can I ask you a question?” Kleyena couldn’t help but say as they walked.
She knew that if she didn’t initiate a conversation, this guy didn’t seem to intend to talk to her.
Ye Yinzhu replied without turning his head: “You ask.”
Kleyena said: “I want to know, why are you participating in this great literary and martial contest?
If Arcadia Kingdom knew that someone as talented as you is in their kingdom, they could give you any possible treatment.
You are in Landias.
Is it because the empire is powerful and more suitable for your development, or is there something else?”
A vague light appeared in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, “I came here just for one person.” The finals were about to start, and he found that his usually calm mood was getting quite nervous, and he subconsciously spoke the truth.
“For one person?
Who?
The princess?” Kleyena’s heart rate sped up slightly, and her gaze towards Ye Yinzhu had subtly changed.
Ye Yinzhu turned his head and looked at Kleyena, capturing a trace of curiosity deep within her eyes.
“Maybe.
If she truly is the one I desire.”
Kleyena chuckled, “You sure are clever.
If you can gain the princess’s affection, coupled with your inherent strength, you will soon bee an influential figure in the empire.”
Ye Yinzhu laughed, a mockery appearing at the corners of his mouth.
“Fame dwells in a worldly stay, conflicts never seem to sway, yet who can shatter this dismay, and rest in the vast universe astray.
Fame and fortune are passing clouds to me.” If he sought fame and fortune, did he need to e to Landias?
“Hey, slow down.
You haven’t finished talking.” Seeing that Ye Yinzhu suddenly started walking faster, Kleyena hurriedly quickened her pace to follow, but Ye Yinzhu was moving too fast.
As a mage, she was panting after just a little while.
She watched as Ye Yinzhu and the other three gradually moved further away but had no way to catch up.
“This jerk.
He didn’t explain everything, but he sure can run fast.”
Despite the fact that the first round of the finals was not open for public viewing, a large crowd of Landias Empire citizens gathered around the large campus.
The majority of them were there to watch the excitement, but some were there to see if the empire could recruit some talented individuals from this literary and martial contest.
When they arrived at the venue, Ye Yinzhu and Zi had a low conversation, and then Zi took Ming and Glacis and disappeared into the crowd.
Ye Yinzhu, holding the number one identifying card for the literature test, walked into the judging grounds with his head held high.
The literary contest judging grounds for that day were busier than Ye Yinzhu had anticipated.
Although there were only ten contestants, apart from them, he also saw numerous spectators.
All of these people were casually dressed and seated around the examination grounds, but from their demeanor and the different aura they exuded, Ye Yinzhu could tell they were all influential figures.
Apparently, they were the civil and military officials of the Landias Empire.
No wonder the Landian government didn’t allow civilians to watch the finals of the literary contest.
From the line-up here, it was evident how much importance Landias placed on this literary contest.
