Chapter 569: Chapter 384: The Master Plan Becomes Absurd_1

The cultivators looked at Owen Bertram with admiration in their eyes. They were all ambitious, they believed they had unlimited potential at this age. To admit defeat and acknowledge Owen in their cultivation journey was unthinkable for them. They still thought that even if they were behind now, as long as they worked hard after this, they would catch up or even surpass him one day.

They needed decades of life experiences to realize that this was one of life’s illusions. Some people are simply different, leading by a mile from the very start and increasing the distance over time. The time when they thought they had a chance was merely when the gap between them was the smallest, giving rise to such an illusion.

But they admired Owen Bertram because he dared to confront Evans Graham! Most of them were still rely on their family to maintain their extravagant lifestyle.

So they all cherished this opportunity and did not dare to offend Evans Graham—except for the last assessment when Evans Graham lost his mind.

They previously didn’t dare to offend Evans Graham because it could harm their dependable backing.

They didn’t like Evans Graham in their hearts. At this moment, Owen appeared and throughout the three assessments, he used various methods to put Evans Graham in a difficult situation, and eventually His Majesty sent him to prison!

If you can’t understand, imagine in Owen Bertram’s previous life, in a high school, there was a disciplinary principal everybody disliked. He was nasty, scared to condemn the strong, yet bullied the weak, being a teacher but not a model to the student, his mind full of self-interest.

But you were just a student, with no power and no courage to resist - a school hero emerged and lawfully defeated this nasty principal, directly sent him to jail, never able to come out again, wouldn’t he become an idol admired by the whole school?

Even Catherine couldn’t help but sneak a few glances at him.

But in the eyes of the people from Sang Island, it was a different scene.

Yosuke Kawashima secretly exchanged a glance with Lord Benjamin, their confidence somewhat bolstered. Lord Benjamin at the left back of Yosuke Kawashima, the two were whispering to each other, Lord Benjamin said: "The young generation of the Wood Dynasty has lost its ambition, they worshipped Owen Bertram after three assessments, showing admiration. With this mindset, how can they keep climbing in cultivation? This generation of cultivators is wasted."

Yosuke Kawashima believed himself to be experienced and analysed: "They have formed a climate of fear for power. Owen Bertram is the Summit Commandant, this might be one of the reasons why they dare not challenge him.

But Owen Bertram is rumored to come from an impoverished background, but you see that he has the Sixth Great Realm guardian, and a cloud of people around him, his background is likely not simple, it’s just a deliberately crafted ’rags to riches’ story.

People like him can easily win and kill a weaker opponent, but their spirit is not fully developed. When faced with an equal opponent, they often lose confidence after a stalemate and finally lose."

So, Lord Benjamin, you have met such an opponent, it’s a blessing from the heavens for us, the reversal of the national fate, it’s done!"

Lord Benjamin also showed a cold smile, secretly looking at Owen Bertram, thinking of himself as the lone wolf who had set his sights on his prey!

Over at the Wood Dynasty cultivators, Leroy Baker squeezed to Owen’s side and joked: "Sir, my family gave His Majesty so much money, shouldn’t His Majesty give me a spot on the A-list?"

A thought crossed Owen’s mind. He pushed something into Leroy’s hand and whispered in his ears: "Remember."

Leroy immediately knew what it was when he scanned it with his spiritual intuition, and was surprised: "This..." Owen pressed his hand, gave him a look, shook his head slightly indicating him not to say any more.

Owen had no interest in the first place of the Dragon and Snake List. The Dragon and Snake List had become appalling to Owen at this stage. Besides, Owen didn’t want to stand out too much. If he really got the first place in the Dragon and Snake List and there was a call to keep him in the Capital, what would he do? Naturally, Owen hoped to return to the Summit Command Office, where he was respected and had unparalleled freedom!

If Leroy wanted a rank, it was a good opportunity to do him a favour.

A bell rang, and the palace gate opened. Today’s protagonists were the thirty cultivators on the Dragon and Snake List, and even the Imperial Grand Secretaries showed their manners, bowing their hands to invite the young cultivators into the palace first.

After refusing a few times, Owen eventually took the lead and went in.

After the thirty cultivators were the court officials of the Wood Dynasty. The Sangdao delegation was placed at the very end. In the eyes of the Wood Dynasty, Sang Island was just a vassal and was considered inferior.

In the Chengling Hall, when the Emperor saw Owen Bertram, he showed a smile. According to the pre-arranged etiquette, the thirty cultivators paid their respects to the Emperor together. The Royal Attendant next to the Emperor read an encouraging text, supposedly written by the Emperor for the cultivators, but everyone knew it must have been written by the Imperial Grand Secretaries on his behalf.

Then the Emperor announced the start of the Palace Examination and announced the examination topic: The Hundredfold Path of the Imperial Library.

The officials were quite surprised, not because the Emperor’s examination topic was not good, but because this topic was very suitable - the Emperor was always unpredictable, this rare instance of normalcy was what they weren’t used to.
