After pouring a cup of tea for An Le, Madam Hua looked at him. “After yesterday, your name has completely spread in Lin’an, but it also means that you’ve completely offended Prime Minister Qin.”
“There’s no other way. If I hadn’t used lightning-fast methods to prove my innocence, what awaited me would have been eternal damnation. After all, rumors spread faster the human can run.”
An Le took a sip of West Lake Longjing tea and said with a smile, his expression relaxed.
The condensation of his Primordial Spirit increased An Le’s confidence.
“That’s right. It’s indeed not easy to deal with the Imperial Examination’s fraud accusation. I didn’t think of a better solution back then.” Madam Hua nodded and didn’t hide her conflict back then.
“As for completely offending Prime Minister Qin… I don’t care about this. Let’s not talk about the North Expedition test for the Spring Quarter Examination. I already oppose Prime Minister Qin’s opinion on the expedition, so I have to stand on the opposite side in the end. Just his son, Qin Qianqiu, has a lot of estrangement with me. He didn’t even hesitate to kill me. There’s no peace talk between me and Prime Minister Qin’s Residence.”
An Le drank his tea and said calmly. He had a clear understanding of the situation.
Suddenly, An Le looked up at Madam Hua. “Madam Hua, I once said that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring…”
“Now that the Spring Quarter Examination has ended, I’m quite confident in my results. When the rankings are released in a few days, I should be able to firmly enter the top of the List A Scholar Rankings and obtain the qualifications for the Hall Examination.”
“In the past, I didn’t have the right to ask Madam Hua about the Storm Calming in the Hall Examination. But now, I’ve condensed my Primordial Spirit and feel that I have a chance to compete in the Hall Examination.”
“I wonder if Madam Hua is willing to give me this chance?”
As soon as An Le finished speaking, the entire Heavenly Wave Water Pavilion fell silent.
Only the sound of boiling water could be heard.
Xi Xiang, who was standing quietly at the side, narrowed her eyes and did not dare to breathe loudly.
Madam Hua held the teacup and maintained the posture of drinking tea. After a long time, her long eyelashes trembled slightly. Her gaze swept over and landed on An Le, looking at this high-spirited young man with sparkling eyes.
“You want to help the Lin family obtain this Storm Calming?” Madam Hua asked.
She guessed why An Le asked this. It was because An Le was worried that Madam Hua had another plan. If he went to fight for the Storm Calming, he would disrupt her arrangements.
An Le nodded.
Madam Hua put down her teacup, shook her head, and chuckled. “Actually, you don’t have to give yourself too much pressure, nor do you have to enter this vortex.”
“If it’s just to repay my kindness, then forget it. I’ve only given you a cultivation technique. The one who really shone on the path of cultivation is you.”
“In addition, although you’ve condensed your Primordial Spirit and stepped into the fourth realm of the Spirit Refinement Realm, there’s not much hope of you competing for Storm Calming in the Hall Examination.”
“There are many geniuses in this year’s Hall Examination. They all want to compete for the top scholar position and get a chance to talk to the Sacred Teacher. Therefore, if you want to compete for the Storm Calming, the opponents you need to face are all extremely powerful.”
“The top six of the Little Sacred Ranking are all powerful opponents that are basically difficult for you to defeat with your current strength. For example, the prodigy of the Sima family, Sima Pudu, who is ranked sixth on the Little Sacred Ranking’s Literary Music Ranking. Although he is only at the fourth realm of Body Tempering, he is at the peak of the fifth realm of Spirit Refinement. He is only a short distance away from breaking through to the sixth realm.”
“There’s also the fifth on the Little Sacred Ranking, the Wang family’s Qilin Son. He’s at the fourth realm of Spirit Refinement and the peak of the fifth realm of Body Tempering. His talent is extraordinary, and he’s also holding his breath to fight for the top scholar.”
“As for Wenxi, there’s no need for me to introduce her. Above her is Qin Lishi’s son, Qin Hua’an. His Body Tempering and Spirit Refinement are both at the peak of the fifth realm…
“The Ninth Prince and the Second Prince, who are ranked first and second, won’t participate in the Spring Quarter Examination because of their special identities. It won’t affect the competition for the top scholar. However… even without them, with your current third realm Body Tempering and initial fourth realm Spirit Refinement cultivation, there’s not much hope.” Madam Hua said softly.
“These are the geniuses on the Little Sacred Ranking. Most of them were elected to participate in the Hall Examination. There are also some cultivators who participated in the Spring Quarter Examination with their strength and obtained the qualifications to participate in the Hall Examination. They can’t be underestimated either. They are all hopes nurtured by various factions. They are all people who have entered the fifth realm. To you, the pressure is huge.”
“Therefore, in my opinion, there’s not much hope of you becoming the top scholar in this Spring Quarter Examination. You can wait for the next Spring Quarter Examination. At that time, with your cultivation speed, you will definitely be able to become the top scholar.”
Madam Hua persuaded gently.
She thought highly of An Le’s talent, but there was not much time left in this Hall Examination. No matter how good An Le’s talent was, it was difficult for him to soar.
In the Water Pavilion, a gentle breeze blew, causing An Le’s white clothes to flutter gently.
An Le finished the tea in his cup and smiled lightly. “How do you know it won’t work if you don’t try?”
“Senior once told me about General You’an’s deeds. Back then, General You’an’s ranking on the Little Sacred Ranking was not much better than mine, but he challenged the geniuses on the rankings all the way. One battle every seven days, no matter rain or shine… He won every battle and nurtured an invincible aura. He accumulated a mouthful of righteous qi and became the top scholar in the Spring Quarter Examination.”
“People call him the Legendary Top Scholar. When I heard that, I was really excited and yearned for it endlessly. Therefore, I’m willing to give it a try now. Even if I’m not fighting for the Storm Calming for the Lin Residence, I’m also fighting for a bright future for myself. Just like back at the Sixth Mountain, I gave up the Mountain Guardian spot and chose to fight for the Little Sacred Token.” An Le said.
His eyes lit up slightly, and heroic qi surged from his body.
The [Heroic Qi Attraction] Dao Fruit trembled slightly at this moment as if it was fluctuating because of the youth’s heroic spirit.
The Green Mountain at his waist trembled slightly, and the Ink Pool Sword let out a clear sword cry, echoing the young man’s heroic mental state.
“You’re different from him. He can fight every seven days to nurture his invincible aura, but your time is tighter than his. Besides, Li You’an is a legend…”
Madam Hua looked at the heroic qi surging young man, her eyes trembling as she stammered.
“Madam, legends are forged. If General You’an can become a legend, then I…
can become a legend myself!”
The young man was in high spirits, the righteous sword qi mixed with the soaring heroism of Heroic Qi Attraction instantly surged in the Heavenly Wave Water Pavilion, raising a storm.
It was like how the great roc rose with the wind one day and soared 90,000 miles!
At this moment, the young man’s aura was like a great roc rising in the wind. As he spread his wings, he continuously shattered the clouds and rushed into the nine heavens!
He had listened to legends before, but he was not afraid of them.
He was willing to personally create a legend!
Even if he failed on this path and ended up with his bones shattered, he was fearless.
The brilliant will to face the sun melted all the snow in the mountains!
“Madam, help me.”
Madam Hua’s heart trembled as she looked at the arrogant, heroic qi-filled young man with aspirations like the sun. Her eyes could not help but be a little dazed.
Then, a smile appeared on her lips. She could not help but look forward to it.
“I’m still in Lin’an, so I’ll protect you on the way.”
“Go, nurture your invincible aura and accumulate righteous sword qi to create a legend that belongs to you..”
