Chapter 584: Chapter 554: This Taste, Authentic!

"Rabbit, you dead rabbit, you... you... you bastard!"

After shouting that, Su Jin collapsed on the ground; she simply could not climb any longer. She was so close to success, only to fall because of a rabbit—how infuriating, awfully infuriating!

Although there was still a chance to climb up, she really did not want to climb anymore; it was too tiring!

Just then, a chorus of exclamations erupted behind her!

"He made it!"

"He actually made it?"

"Five hundred thousand steps—look quickly, a new name has appeared above, Yi Zheng! His name is Yi Zheng!"

"Damn it, he actually... he... he is really comprehending!"

"Impossible! Impossible! A rabbit yet to undergo transformation, even if it started learning from its mother’s womb, couldn’t possibly achieve this!"

...

At the foot of the mountain, a group of resentful candidates denounced the heavens for their unfairness.

Atop the mountain, Liu Ximing, Zhao Fubing, and Zheng Zhisheng were also dumbstruck, their mouths filled with, "How is this possible?"

Wenchang Star Lord jumped up again, his eyes wide as he stared fixedly at Yi Zheng’s name on the five hundred thousandth step. He said with utter disbelief, "This..."

Then, Wenchang Star Lord spun around fiercely, grabbed Wenqu Star Lord by the collar, and roared, "Where did you find this freak?!"

Wenqu Star Lord replied with a wry smile, "What if I say, it wasn’t me who found him, but Gold Star Taibai who brought him to me, would you believe that?"

Upon hearing this, Wenchang Star Lord cursed directly, "Damn! Is old White playing favorites? Starting today, I won’t sit at the same table with him for meals, never to associate with him again!"

Wenqu Star Lord laughed. He genuinely laughed!

He could never have dreamt that this rabbit, whom he had never liked or had high hopes for from the start, would bring him such a great surprise!

How many years had it been since Wenqu Palace had taken in a new student?

How many years had he been mocked by Wenchang Star Lord?

Every time he went out, people would insistently advise him to lower his standards because no one could currently pass the test for Wenqu Palace.

Even Wenchang Star Lord had come over several times to borrow the grand hall for teaching, and the most excessive time, he came to borrow Wenqu Palace with the excuse that there were too many students in Wenchang Palace and the food supply couldn’t keep up, planning to use Wenqu Palace to raise pigs!

He had endured all these frustrations, not knowing when he could ever get revenge.

But today, he had his revenge!

How satisfying was that?

At this moment, Wenqu Star Lord looked at Yi Zheng with eyes full of favor; the more he looked, the more he treasured him.

Wenchang Star Lord turned around and cursed, "You dead rabbit..."

Wenqu Star Lord lifted his leg and kicked, causing Wenchang Star Lord to stagger. Then, under the other’s furious gaze, he lifted his head high and said, "How dare you insult a student of my Wenqu Palace?

Furthermore, both of us represent the peak of literature, quality, quality!

Do you understand quality?

Don’t curse."

"I curse your stars, I’ll go to your stars, I damn your starry stars, stars..." Wenchang Star Lord ranted incoherently, and though his words were a mess, with that expression, Wenqu Star Lord realized he actually understood.

But Wenqu Star Lord was not angry; instead, he laughed with immense happiness, "You continue counting stars; I’ll see how my future disciple surpasses the remaining nineteen fools."

"Fools... fools?!"

Wenchang Star Lord was enraged and pointing at a disciple ahead, said, "Wenqu Star Lord, do you know who that is? That is..."

Wenqu Star Lord interjected, "Who that is doesn’t matter now, he’s been surpassed by a rabbit. Or how about you introduce the eighteenth place? Uh... maybe introduce the seventeenth place instead."

Wenchang Star Lord cursed angrily, "Dead... cough, cough, I curse your rabbit, why can’t you run slower?!"

However, Rabbit ran as if chased by a dog, extremely fast—he surpassed the fifteenth place and fourteenth place in the time it took him to speak, and then he broke into the top ten!

But after the top ten, all were beings who had crossed five hundred fifty thousand steps.

Even the ninth place had already ascended six hundred thousand steps!

The gap between the ninth and the tenth place was a full fifty thousand steps, a huge difference to say the least.

Wenchang Star Lord said, "Wenqu Star Lord, don’t be so smug.

As you can see, the further back, the greater the gap.

The rabbit may have decent comprehension, but to rely solely on comprehension to advance on the six hundred thousandth step? Hmph... It’s not that I don’t have faith in him, but it’s absolutely impossible... impossible for him to surpass Li Hanlin and Liu Haichao!"

This time Wenchang Star Lord was smarter, directly naming the two foremost extraordinary talents.

At this very moment, Li Hanlin and Liu Haichao had already reached the seven hundred eighty thousandth step.

But there, both of them were also close to their limits, almost taking an hour to make a single step.

Wenqu Star Lord did not argue with Wenchang Star Lord because what he said was indeed the truth.

Those with a solid literary foundation could ascend the first three hundred thousand steps; comprehension could make a significant difference in the next two hundred thousand steps, but beyond five hundred thousand steps, the requirements for comprehension were extremely high.

After six hundred thousand steps, just relying on comprehension was no longer sufficient; one must have a strong literary foundation and accumulation to continue upward.

Both were indispensable!

This was the cumulative experience of numerous candidates over the years.

However, at this moment, Wenqu Star Lord did not give up. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back, watching Rabbit’s figure, and said indifferently, "Don’t jump to conclusions before it’s over. I’m worried your face will get swollen."

Wenchang Star Lord sneered, " What are you joking about? That’s an ironclad rule, verified by countless people."

At this point, Wenchang Star Lord had a sudden inspiration and said, "Do you dare to bet on it?"

Wenqu Star Lord smiled and replied, "There’s been a lot of gambling enthusiasts lately. What do you want to bet on?"

Wenchang Star Lord said, "Let’s bet on whether that Rabbit can surpass Li Hanlin and Liu Haichao. I bet he can’t! If I lose, I’ll follow your orders for a year! If I win, no matter whether the Rabbit crosses the eight-hundred-thousand-step mark or not, you cannot accept him into Wenqu Palace!"

Wenqu Star Lord responded, "So that’s the bet. I’ll wager that Rabbit can surpass them and be accepted into my Wenqu Palace. If I lose, I won’t take him into Wenqu Palace. If you lose... then for a year, you can help me by teaching a few students."

"That simple?" exclaimed Wenchang Star Lord, surprised at Wenqu Star Lord.

Images flashed through Wenqu Star Lord’s mind of rabbits in business suits, chickens with shifty eyes, blind groundhogs, sinister hungry wolves, land turtles that couldn’t let out a fart for a long while, and alligators that left nothing uneaten...

He then unconsciously touched the back of his head and face, wincing slightly as he said, "We’re both scholars; there’s no need to make such a big wager. A friendly little bet is better, let’s not cause any hard feelings."

Little did Wenchang Star Lord know about Wenqu Star Lord’s calculations. He laughed and said, "After knowing you for so many years, you finally speak like a person. Alright, I agree!"

Then the two fellows, each with their own schemes, turned their gaze back to the Rabbit.

Rabbit advanced unstoppably, surpassing the tenth and ninth places!

By now, he had crossed six hundred thousand steps, and once again, everyone’s eyes were fixed on him.

Just as Rabbit set foot on the six hundred thousandth step, his body suddenly came to a halt.

"He did it! He did it!"

"He’s stuck! He stopped!"

"He isn’t running anymore, he... he... he just isn’t running anymore!"

The candidates Rabbit had surpassed wore tear-streaked faces. They had struggled every step of the way, facing numerous challenges, whereas Rabbit had sailed through effortlessly, almost prancing with each step. Every time they saw Rabbit running, they doubted their own worth.

Especially those insulted by Rabbit were banging drums and cheering.

And those candidates who had been cared for by Rabbit were also happy, but they dared not speak, for hundreds of eyes surrounded them, as if they were just out of the shower, utterly drenched...

On the mountain, Liu Ximing, Zhao Fubing, and Zheng Zhisheng burst into laughter.

Liu Ximing said, "Rabbit is done for, he just can’t make it! Hahaha..."

Zhao Fubing said, "Show off, keep showing off! Run now, run!"

Zheng Zhisheng said, "Six hundred thousand steps, and he’s stuck. Without a solid foundation of hard work and just relying on comprehension is useless! Little rascal Rabbit, now you see how powerful the diligent path is, don’t you? Hmph, I’d like to see you jump around now!"

Wenchang Star Lord laughed heartily, slapping Wenqu Star Lord’s shoulder and said, "Wenqu Star Lord, it looks like you’ve lost!

Ah, had I known he’d get stuck at six hundred thousand steps, would I have bothered betting against you that he could surpass Li Hanlin and Liu Haichao?

I still overestimated him.

Go ahead, you’d better wash up and go to sleep early.

Now, watch the grace of my students from Wenchang Palace."

Wenqu Star Lord smiled and asked, "Are you sure he’s stuck?"

"If it’s not a dead stop, then what? Taking a test and not moving, what else could it be?" retorted Wenchang Star Lord.

Then they saw Rabbit spin around twice where he stood, looking up and then down, murmuring to himself, "The idiots ahead probably won’t look back, and with the mist below, they shouldn’t be able to see me..."

Next, Rabbit stood on the step, legs apart, and with his hands placed between his legs, he tilted his head back while everyone watched in stunned silence. Relishing the breeze on his face, he gleefully urinated three zhang into the wind!

This couldn’t be blamed on Yi Zheng; with his limited strength, he could only see so far.

He instinctively thought that if he couldn’t see others, they couldn’t see him, completely forgetting that his abilities here were less than trivial—they were the trash of the trash!

The weakest among the others were already at the level of the eighth-order peak, and they all started from the ninth order, their eyesight reaching incredibly far.

Even with the fog as cover, they could see through it with a single glance.

Therefore, at this moment, Yi Zheng was essentially live streaming his long pee on the diligent route to the entire map!

Most shocking of all was that once he finished his business, the passing wind carried it down the hillside.

The candidates shocked by Rabbit’s brazen act, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground, suddenly felt something fall into their mouths...

Then, the entire diligent route erupted into uproar!

"Damn it!"

"This Rabbit, he’s gone too far!"

"Urinating back at us? That’s just too bullying, too humiliating!"

"To kill a man is to go no further than his head, but even as scoundrels, we’ve never been this outrageous!"

"Dead Rabbit, you and I will never share the same sky!"

"Don’t let me see you outside, or I’ll bite you to death!"

"Ugh..."
