Muscular Rabbits Legion: “No one can escape from the novice village!”
Chapter 583 - 553: This Rabbit is Annoying!

Chapter 583: Chapter 553: This Rabbit is Annoying!

They hadn’t paid attention to that Rabbit for quite a while. Who would have thought that the one who was least expected to succeed, always seemed like he would give up halfway or escape at any moment, actually caught up!

Moreover, after climbing 150,000 steps, his pace was still steady.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Just a Rabbit, how could he walk so effortlessly!"

"He hasn’t even transformed yet!"

The three of them were jealous. When they were at the eighth rank, let alone 150,000 steps, they couldn’t even complete 100,000 steps.

Jealousy made them unrecognizable until they saw others in the Royal City harshly criticizing Rabbit. That improved their mood significantly.

Zheng Zhisheng said, "Should we intervene in this shouting match?

Zhao Fubing gave him a dismissive look, "Intervene for what? I think those people are right to scold him; that damn Rabbit is so freaking annoying! Besides, our main duty is to prevent physical fights. Whether to intervene in verbal fights is optional.

As long as Rabbit doesn’t respond with insults, our non-involvement won’t be seen as biased and won’t cause trouble.

Let them scold. Listening to them makes me feel better."

Liu Ximing nodded, "Exactly, let them scold. Damn it, this Rabbit is actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing, having this strength and still hiding it, so infuriating!"

Liu Ximing made excuses for his misjudgment.

Zhao Fubing and Zheng Zhisheng nodded along, finding scolding quite satisfying themselves.

But when two hundred Rabbits and chickens came crashing down, surrounding those twenty or so people and showering them with a torrent of insults, they were completely dumbfounded.

"This... this..."

The men exchanged looks, at a loss for words.

Intervene?

That would be showing partiality. Now that the Wenqu Star Lord and Wenchang Star Lord had modified the competition’s rules, they might be observing from somewhere. They couldn’t afford to mess around.

Not intervening seemed too disgraceful!

Ultimately, though, the three of them chose silence. In Book Mountain, especially during the Heaven and Earth Association’s examination, fairness trumped everything else.

They could be strict, but they had to be strict with everyone.

They could be lenient, but they had to be lenient with everyone.

Showing partiality was out of the question!

It was a serious crime!

Their negligence suddenly became the nightmare of the examinees!

The Rabbit zipped all the way up the mountain. Wherever he passed, he still appeared well-behaved, waving and shouting to everyone, "Keep it up!"

"Brother, taking a rest?"

"Big sister, don’t lie down! The ground is cold; here, have a blanket set."

"Old man, can’t move anymore? Why not take a break?"

"This brother here, with your broad shoulders and sturdy built, you seem so strong, why are you moving so slowly? Come on, walk like me, go! Move it!

One two one!

One two one!

Ouch, why lash out at people?"

"Big bro, what’s on your mind? Even though that lady’s skirt up ahead is short, you shouldn’t be squatting on the ground, right?"

The woman ahead turned around furiously while the targeted man quickly explained, "I didn’t..."

Then a man and a woman started arguing.

And the Rabbit had already smoothly moved on to wreak havoc on the next person.

But these were still the lucky ones; they just got mad, cursed at the Rabbit a bit, and that was it.

The Rabbit didn’t counter...

However, some people just couldn’t tolerate the Rabbit and started cursing back, only to find themselves surrounded by dozens of Rabbits, chickens, snakes, and even wolves and Groundhogs. The spittle flew as they questioned their life choices.

For a time, the path up the mountain was awash in a storm of traditional curses, like continuous rains.

With such ruckus, the Wenchang Star Lord naturally heard it. By the time he put down his book and observed the scene, he was nearly driven mad!

"How... how... how did this Rabbit make it up here?" Wenchang Star Lord almost jumped up.

Meanwhile, Wenqu Star Lord, having returned unnoticed, took advantage of the situation to lounge in the chair Wenchang Star Lord had just vacated, leaning back and contentedly saying, "Why care how he got up here just handle your examinees. I’ve seen them pull out their weapons several times. Breaking the rules isn’t allowed."

"Breaking the rules? Who could be breaking the rules worse than that Rabbit?" Wenchang Star Lord retorted.

Wenqu Star Lord lifted an eyelid and replied, "The ones overseeing this path are disciples from your Wenchang Palace, and they’ve been watching the whole time. They haven’t spoken up. What are you complaining about?

When the Rabbit was descending the mountain, didn’t all the examinees mock him?

You didn’t shout about breaking the rules then.

Now that the Rabbit is mocking back, it suddenly breaks the rules?

Since when did Book Mountain become so double-standard?"

Wenchang Star Lord, stumped by Wenqu Star Lord’s rebuttal, huffed and after a long pause, kicked Wenqu Star Lord, "Get up, that’s my chair!"

"It’s not my fault you didn’t sit in it!" grumbled the Wenqu Star Lord, though he still got up and added, "I don’t believe you can keep sitting still."

Wenchang Star Lord couldn’t be bothered to deal with him, and plopped down into a chair, staring intently at Rabbit on the diligent path.

At this moment, Rabbit had already dashed up to two hundred thousand steps.

By this point, there weren’t many disciples of Wenchang Palace left.

Above two hundred thousand steps, there were fewer than three hundred people.

"Two hundred thousand steps now, Rabbit, you must slow down, right?" murmured Wenchang Star Lord.

However, not only did Rabbit not slow down, but he also sped up, trotting all the way up.

Wenchang Star Lord couldn’t sit still anymore. He jumped up and pointed at Rabbit, saying to Wenqu Star Lord, "Something’s not right with him! Both you and I know, the further behind the diligent path, the harder it gets, yet he is getting more relaxed. There’s something fishy here!"

Wenqu Star Lord, having sat down at some point, said nonchalantly, "Don’t act like you know so much about the diligent path. Book Mountain is older than both our ages combined.

Although we are now the masters here, you and I should understand.

Whether it’s the Vast Qi River, Book Mountain, the Sea of Learning, the diligent path, Bitter Boat, and so forth, all have existed since the creation of heaven and earth.

The mysteries inherent in them, neither you nor I have fully comprehended.

As for why this Rabbit is running faster and faster, I’m curious too, but there’s no rush. Let him reach the peak, enter my Wenqu Palace, and I’ll ask slowly.

As for whether I’ll tell you...

We’ll see, we’ll see!"

Wenchang Star Lord, looking at Wenqu Star Lord’s smug and pleased demeanor, got so angry that he kicked again, "Get up, your butt’s so heavy! That’s my chair!"

Wenqu Star Lord chuckled and stood up again, "Yes, yes, it’s yours. Ah, let’s see how long you can sit..."

Wenchang Star Lord fumed as he watched Rabbit trotting along the diligent path, mocking and causing chaos, with groups of chickens, rabbits, wolves, bears, groundhogs, and snakes surrounding all the Wenchang Palace exam candidates and cursing wildly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Rabbit, enough is enough! Enough already!

Save me two spots!"

But Rabbit’s response was to surpass them continuously: three hundred names, two hundred names, a hundred names!

Four hundred thousand steps!

Wenchang Star Lord, almost every time he saw Rabbit surpass a candidate he was hopeful about, would get so angry that he jumped up.

Wenqu Star Lord would take the opportunity to sit for a while....

Wenchang Star Lord wanted to confront Wenqu Star Lord quite a few times.

"Wenqu Star Lord, don’t be too smug! That Rabbit running so fast is definitely problematic. It’s possible, very possible that he hasn’t comprehended anything, maybe he didn’t even listen to the sound of the diligent path. Who couldn’t run as fast as him if they follow what’s in the diligent path?" Wenchang Star Lord shouted, "Rabbit is doing this on purpose to embarrass others! Aren’t you going to intervene in this?"

Wenqu Star Lord raised his eyebrows and said, "What’s the rush? Whether he’s comprehended it or not, it will be clear at five hundred thousand steps.

Moreover, there aren’t many of your Wenchang Palace disciples left in front of him now."

Wenchang Star Lord went silent. After the diligent path, at five hundred thousand steps, a huge change would occur.

At that time, once someone had thoroughly understood, their name would appear on the steps.

So, whether Rabbit had comprehended would be instantly apparent, unmistakable.

At this moment, not only was Wenchang Star Lord staring intensely at Rabbit, but the candidates surpassed by Rabbit were too, convinced to their core that no one could trot, jump, and even occasionally backtrack for a sprint at the four hundred thousand steps mark!

Rabbit’s cocky demeanor truly provoked everyone; each one itched to take a bite out of him.

Liu Ximing, Zhao Fubing, and Zheng Zhisheng all similarly believed Rabbit hadn’t comprehended anything and was just being annoying.

"This Rabbit is too much! He can’t make it on his own, so he annoys others, that’s no character at all!"

"They say those who apply to Wenchang Palace are slackers who couldn’t get into Wenqu Palace, but I think Rabbit is the biggest slacker!"

"Let him be smug, but once he passes five hundred thousand steps, hmm... let’s see whose names appear on the steps, and who gets laughed at!"

Liu Ximing said, "By then, we can accuse him of not following the examination rules, of disrupting the order of the exam..."

The three exchanged glances, each revealing a fierce smile.

In the distance, Wenqu Star Lord’s attendant student Qin Ze also watched this scene darkly, muttering, "My Wenqu Palace absolutely cannot accept such a jerk who backstabs others, causes countless troubles, and disrespects the examination rules just for face!

As long as I am here, there’s no way he’s entering Wenqu Palace!

Five hundred thousand steps are coming soon, very soon!"

...

Rabbit trotted along, surpassing one Wenchang Palace candidate after another — in the top eighty, fifty, thirty...

Twenty!

...

Just before the five hundred thousand steps, a woman with a large chest, sweating profusely and panting, stood at four hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine steps, struggling to smile and saying, "I’ve made it, finally made it!

Once I go up, I’ll be a disciple of Wenchang Palace.

From now on, the Su Family will have the support of Wenchang Palace. Who then can look down on my Su Family?

I will show everyone that it’s just the lack of familial heritage and books at home that held me back. Given a platform like Wenchang Palace, even those ahead like Li Hanlin and Liu Haichao, I can compete with them!"

Almost fainting from exhaustion, Su Jin took a deep breath and mustered the last of her strength, stepping forward!

Just then, a large white rat darted past her!

Her heart trembled, and in her panic, her footing faltered, and she tumbled backward, rolling down several steps before stabilizing.

When she climbed back up and looked up, all she could vaguely see was a plump white figure and a short tail...
