Chapter 606: Chapter 576 Rabbit, Tongue Battle with Heroes

"This character, every stroke and every line, brims with force as if each were a mountain, supremely steady. Although the character is conventional, it possesses its own impressive atmosphere, it seems even servants conceal dragons among them."

"Li Hanlin is not invincible after all."

Atop the high platform, Liu Gongqing also looked at the man with some surprise, praising, "Simple and generous, yet with a commanding presence, not bad, not bad!"

Listening to the discussions around him and Liu Gongqing’s comments, the man revealed an extremely happy expression. He casually thrust his large brush into the ground, with a boom, the earth trembled, and he stood on the tip of the brush, high above next to Li Hanlin, bowing courteously, "Disciple Ye Chenshan greets the Pavilion Master!"

Both Li Hanlin and Liu Haichao’s expressions didn’t look too good...

However, those previously silent old servants in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

"Ye Chenshan? I remember now, I heard about him when I arrived, and now that I think about it, I have been here for three hundred years, he is from eight hundred years ago!"

"Eight hundred years ago, how come I didn’t know about him?"

"He’s been in closed-door cultivation for these eight hundred years, and now he is coming out. It’s unexpected, eight hundred years ago, he wasn’t anything special, but eight hundred years later he has achieved so much."

...

Ye Chenshan glanced at the crowd, his eyes full of excitement, eight hundred years!

He had endured eight hundred years of arduous cultivation, nobody knew how he had managed it.

During these eight hundred years, he spent almost all his time reading books and when tired, he would practice cultivation, alternating back and forth, and finally achieved today’s success.

For so many years, he just wanted to prove one thing, that in front of him, Ye Chenshan, no matter what kind of prodigy, he could trample them underfoot!

He had only one goal, to astonish everyone, and then ascend directly to the position of direct disciple.

Now, his appearance had indeed created an astonishing impact. The next step was to crush all potential rivals and step into the ranks of the outer disciple as the foremost servant.

And then to break into the ranks of the inner disciples and soar high.

"These two must be the prodigies of this generation... nothing more than that," Ye Chenshan thought disdainfully.

Li Hanlin and Liu Haichao watched this proud guy, the corners of their mouths slightly curling up: "The real character is showing, what an idiot!"

Just as the three exchanged uncomfortable glances, a cry of surprise rang out: "Rabbit, the Rabbit has come!"

Whoosh!

All the attention that had been comfortably focused on Ye Chenshan shifted completely, moving to a rabbit.

Ye Chenshan knew nothing about Yi Zheng, nor about the recent events, as he had been in closed-door cultivation.

Now, seeing everyone gazing at a plump, chubby, and even untransformed rabbit, he felt annoyed, unable to understand why an ordinary-looking rabbit could steal his spotlight.

Moreover, this rabbit didn’t make any impressive display.

He had secretly watched the entrances of both Li Hanlin and Liu Haichao from afar, and had specifically timed his entrance based on theirs.

His logic was simple: the real expert always makes the last entrance, the grand finale.

He never expected that someone would arrive even later than himself.

And he least expected that this latest arrival would have no entrance flair at all, just casually strolling in.

With others staying silent, Ye Chenshan couldn’t hold back: "Rabbit, having come all this way, won’t you leave some calligraphy?"

Then he looked up at the sky, implying that the rabbit should follow their example.

But the rabbit looked up, then directly rolled its eyes at him and dropped a line, "Are you fucking insane? I’m here to completely destroy you guys in getting first place, not to do calligraphy..."

Then the rabbit mentally added, "If I could write that, why would I even come here? That’s already cultural enough for me!"

With these words, Ye Chenshan was directly mocked until his face turned livid.

Li Hanlin sarcastically said, "Rabbit, you’re probably illiterate, aren’t you?"

The rabbit, looking arrogantly, replied, "Not literate, so what? Is there a problem?"

Watching the rabbit’s proud demeanor, Li Hanlin was dumbstruck, "You... you’re actually proud of that?"

The rabbit snorted, "Everyone else can write, I cannot, and I’m still not proud, then who should be? If you’re so capable, then you also don’t know how to write. Can you handle that?"

"I..." Li Hanlin’s face flushed red. "You... are hopeless."

"Tsk! Wait until I beat you so badly, no medicine can save you!" the Rabbit retorted fiercely.

Yi Zheng’s approach was simple, since everyone had laid their cards on the table and it was time to annihilate the opponent, then there’s no need to pretend anymore, the battle starts now!

So he just snapped at the sky, the ground, and the air, utterly frustrated, then sent the four calamities to beat up Wenchang Star Lord...

After all, he wouldn’t lose out.

Liu Haichao hummed, "Rabbit, this is a gathering of literati, this is Book Mountain, the sacred land of scholars! If you, a completely illiterate, became an outer sect disciple...

That would be too ridiculous, wouldn’t it?"

The Rabbit looked at Zhang Haichao, seeming thoughtful, and finally clapped its little hands, "I’ve remembered, I know you now!"

Liu Haichao thought the Rabbit recognized his fame and was quite proud as he held his head high, only to hear the Rabbit say, "You were the one standing rigidly on that path, soaking in sweat, utterly frail, whom I easily surpassed, that was you, right?"

Liu Haichao’s face suddenly turned ugly, "So what? You’re illiterate!"

Rabbit retorted, "I climbed a million steps on the Path of Diligence!"

Liu Haichao said, "So what? You can’t write!"

"I climbed a million steps on the Path of Diligence, the first in tens of thousands of years! What about you? How many have you climbed?" Rabbit countered.

"I..." Liu Haichao could boast to others that he had climbed eight hundred thousand steps, but in front of Rabbit, it seemed rather embarrassing, and he found himself at a loss for words.

"Enough, Rabbit! Are you not ashamed enough?" Li Hanlin scolded angrily.

Rabbit cocked his head, "I’ve climbed a million steps. Have you? If you haven’t, then shut up. You’re not qualified!"

Li Hanlin was so angry his eyeballs nearly popped out, but he was powerless to rebut.

Royal City yelled angrily, "Don’t be arrogant!"

Rabbit turned around, "How many steps have you climbed? A million? If not, you have no right to speak. I’ve climbed a million steps!"

Rabbit stood tall and proud, raising a little hand, one finger pointing to the sky, his strutting, proud, and disdainful demeanor made people’s teeth grind in annoyance.

Although everyone firmly believed Rabbit was cheating, they had no evidence to prove it.

Some thought he had taken a shortcut, but only a couple of people knew how Rabbit had done it, and those people were not the type to gossip, so the news never spread.

Without evidence, they had to acknowledge Yi Zheng’s achievement.

The undeniable achievement silenced them whenever Rabbit boasted, "I’ve climbed a million steps."

"I’ve climbed a million steps—who among you has? Those who haven’t, step back, do you even belong in front of me?" With that, Rabbit walked past Li Hanlin, Liu Haichao, and Ye Chenshan, who were so furious they wished they could slap him dead.

But, Rabbit’s achievement indeed entitled him to stand in front of them... that was the rule!

From Rabbit’s arrival until now, Liu Gongqing had been silently observing.

He knew Rabbit’s background, brought back by the Wenqu Star Lord, and related to him.

However, Liu Gongqing was a man of integrity. Even with the face of the Wenqu Star Lord, he wouldn’t favor Rabbit, nor would he scorn him. Yet, he felt Rabbit was unlike any previous Book Mountain student...

This piqued his interest in the upcoming examination.

The area was noisy, but when it came to defending against Rabbit’s retorts, nobody could say a word.

Instead of an evenly matched argument, it felt more like people were taking turns feeding Rabbit opportunities.

Seeing that it was about time, Liu Gongqing said, "Alright, time’s almost up, everyone get ready!"

With one sentence, the crowd instantly quieted down.

The examination was divided into two parts; a literary test and a martial test. There weren’t many participating in the literary test since most were disciples of the Wenchang Palace, whose literary foundation wasn’t strong, though their martial capabilities were notable.

An elderly man in white stepped forward to announce the competition rules.

The rules were simple; the first three disciples to reach the summit could become Outer Disciples, the rest had to wait for the next examination.

In the battles to the summit, causing a competitor’s death and forming alliances were allowed...

As the man in white put it, a person of noble character would surely not be mobbed.

Then, the man in white saw those five hundred or so candidates suddenly split into four groups!

Over three hundred gathered around Li Hanlin and Liu Haichao, more than a hundred stood by Ye Chenshan, and then there was Rabbit, who had verbally sparred with all disciples of Wenchang Palace, standing alone; the wind ruffling his fur, looking lonely and forlorn.

Most importantly, aside from Rabbit, those five hundred or so people all stared at him uniformly, those looks...

Some were scornful...

Some were murderous...

Some sneered...

None were friendly.

One could imagine the tragic fate Rabbit would face once the examination began.

At this moment, both the man in white and Liu Gongqing were stunned; it was their first time seeing someone offend every other candidate single-handedly to such a degree over the years.

Yet, Rabbit seemed unaware of the danger, defiantly glaring back, as if asserting that a dead rabbit fears no boiling water.

"Why did the Wenqu Star Lord bring such a creature back? This Rabbit is clearly not very smart.

Lacking strength, yet causing trouble.

Isn’t this courting death?

Simply foolish," the man in white muttered to himself.

Although Liu Gongqing didn’t speak, he also shook his head quietly; however, since Rabbit was brought by the Wenqu Star Lord, he couldn’t just stand by and watch him get killed right away.

So, Liu Gongqing raised his hand, "The examination begins!"

Instantly, Liu Gongqing swung his arm, and the five hundred or so people were whisked away, then he scattered them all over the various paths on Yiye Mountain in a random fashion.
