Chapter 603: Chapter 573: Confident Classmates

Then Yi Zheng saw about a dozen people standing together chatting ahead. Seeing him, they all showed surprise, followed by an expression of gloom.

Yi Zheng recognized these people, as he had encountered them on the way up the mountain.

The dozen or so people were not part of one group, but split into two factions, seemingly confronting and looking for trouble with each other.

Among them, the leaders Yi Zheng recognized, were the last two people he had surpassed during his climb.

He had also learned their names later on: the thin, tall one with a handsome look was Li Hanlin, and the other with dark skin and fierce eyes was Liu Haichao.

Originally, these two groups were at loggerheads, but upon seeing Yi Zheng, they suddenly stood together and then collectively confronted Yi Zheng fiercely.

One of them, who had the most ferocious look, was the Turtle Demon King City whom Yi Zheng had first surpassed.

Royal City originally had no chance to ascend the five hundred thousand steps, but when he was surpassed by Rabbit and mocked, he was holding a grudge, and, with the patience of a turtle, he pondered step by step and endured his way up to the five hundred thousand steps to enter the Wenchang Palace.

He should have been grateful to Rabbit, but he clearly lacked such realization.

He held his malice, not dispersing it, but instead, his grudge against Yi Zheng grew heavier.

Now, seeing Rabbit, he immediately bared his teeth and grimaced, but recalling the miserable defeat of Hou Quan and Su Jin, he held back.

He couldn’t physically fight, but the Wenchang Star Lord did not say they couldn’t verbally fight.

Considering this, Royal City spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, isn’t this the Rabbit who took a shortcut to climb a million steps. Tsk tsk, what brings you to our Wenchang Palace?"

Li Hanlin looked at Rabbit, his eyes carrying a glint of coldness. Originally, he and Zhang Haichao were leading the race, shining along the way, and even left Zhang Haichao behind at the final stretch, almost becoming the brightest star of that examination.

But it was all ruined by this Rabbit. Although he did not know whether Rabbit really climbed a million steps on his own merit, he didn’t believe it! He, along with Royal City and everyone around, felt that Rabbit had used disgraceful methods.

Hearing Royal City’s mockery, he also sneered but said nothing, just coldly watched Rabbit.

Zhang Haichao was not as subtle as Li Hanlin, and directly cursed, "You cheating bastard, what are you doing in our Wenchang Palace? Go back to your Wenqu Palace!"

As soon as he started cursing, the fellows with him immediately started hurling abuses.

Then they saw Rabbit raising a finger high up!

In an instant, everyone shut up, looking down at their toes, with cold sweat dripping from their foreheads...

That day, being cursed by a bunch of sharp-tongued rabbits, chattering chickens, and mean snakes had left them somewhat traumatized. They definitely did not want to experience that ever again.

And the gesture Rabbit made was exactly for summoning those creatures.

At that moment, they sobered up; they knew they couldn’t fight, but they definitely couldn’t out-curse either.

Zhang Haichao, who had never been cursed at by Rabbit’s summoned creatures, was naturally unreserved in confronting Rabbit, but then realized the previously noisy followers behind him had collectively shut up.

Zhang Haichao wasn’t stupid, these followers dared to curse even Li Hanlin, the fear of not daring to curse Rabbit must have been significant.

Thus, Zhang Haichao also shut up.

At that moment, Li Hanlin stepped forward, speaking in the tone of the leader, "Rabbit, why aren’t you staying in your Wenqu Palace, coming down to our Wenchang Palace’s turf for what?"

Yi Zheng needed their help, so naturally, he couldn’t start a quarrel and replied while lowering his hand, "I’m looking for something; do you have any way to contact the Wenchang Star Lord? I mean, the sort that lets me speak with him directly?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hanlin, Zhang Haichao, and others were stunned, wanting to meet the Wenchang Star Lord?

Then after exchanging glances, they all laughed unanimously.

Li Hanlin said, "Rabbit, I know you are the only one in recent years to climb up the million-step trail. But you must understand, anyone who can enter Wenqu Palace can climb the million steps; it’s just that nobody did it as quickly as you.

Moreover, I guess you took a shortcut, right?"

Yi Zheng didn’t plan to hide it, nodded directly, and raising his thumb, he replied, "Impressive, then what?"

Seeing Rabbit admitting to taking a shortcut himself, Li Hanlin felt much of the suffocation in his heart relieved, much more comfortable now.

He felt that if the other hadn’t cheated, he definitely would have been the first.

He had grown increasingly arrogant as he spoke, lifting his chin even higher, "So, don’t be too proud, don’t think you’re that great. How remarkable are the two Star Lords? They are the absolute peaks in the literary realm.

And you?

You’re just a Servant!

You want to meet them?

That’s nearly impossible.

Not just for you, even I can’t meet them.

To meet them, only Direct Disciples can manage it.

And Direct Disciples, Book Mountain hasn’t seen any for many years.

So, to meet the two Star Lords, unless the Star Lords summon you, you might as well give up on that idea.

I advise you to focus on your cultivation. Don’t try to take shortcuts for everything. I understand your feelings, but wanting to meet them?

Dream on."

Yi Zheng had thought the other party would at least offer a way to meet the Wenchang Star Lord, but after all that rambling, it was completely useless.

Yi Zheng waved his hand dismissively, "If you don’t know, just say you don’t know. Why spout all that useless talk?

But you’re right about one thing, you’re just a Servant, what could you know?

I’ll go talk to your manager."

After Yi Zheng spoke, he walked away.

Li Hanlin felt his face burn as Yi Zheng slapped him down and immediately stopped Yi Zheng, "Rabbit, what do you mean by that?"

"Figure it out yourself!"

Rabbit didn’t look back as he continued up the mountain.

Li Hanlin watched Rabbit’s retreating figure, growing angrier the more he thought about it, but ultimately, he didn’t make a move, "Rabbit, you wait. The entry trial for Outer Disciples is in half a month. Then, hmph... I’ll show you!"

"Brother Li, you’re absolutely right. Although that Rabbit has climbed a million steps, who doesn’t know he cheated?

If he hadn’t cheated, how could he possibly have climbed a million steps with his strength?

And I’ve heard his strength is only at the second phase of the eighth level.

You are at the second phase of the ninth level, snuffing him out is just a flick of your finger," Royal City immediately ingratiated.

Li Hanlin nodded slightly, "Naturally!"

Someone lamented, "Actually, those veterans who got eliminated are truly formidable, among them are terrifying entities of the ninth level and ninth phase of the Dao, and there are even those who have reached the tenth.

Alas, they can’t keep up culturally, so they can’t get in.

If not, we wouldn’t even need to lift a finger; any one of those old timers could pop out and turn that Rabbit to dust with a single gesture."

Everyone deeply agreed.

"Forget about those veterans for now, in fact, Brother Li doesn’t even need to take action personally. With the strength of the second phase of the eighth level, any of the brothers present could beat him into calling them ’Daddy,’" someone joked.

"Calling ’Daddy’ is not enough? I heard the entry trial rules are being modified, because of the system’s appearance, everyone can resurrect.

And there’s virtually no punishment after death.

So, the rules have been changed to allow killing opponents.

When the time comes, we’ll slaughter him and stew a rabbit up there on the mountain!" someone suggested.
