Peerless Taoist

The Crown Prince's voice was gentle and flat, giving people the feeling that he was like a spring breeze.    

Some of the High Scholars could not help but smile.    

Some of the High Scholars were so excited that they could not control themselves. This was the future Emperor of Great Yu's Imperial Court. If he could show his face in front of him, it was very likely that he would be chosen and make a meteoric rise in the future!    

Although it was only the Crown Prince's first meeting with these High Scholars, just one sentence had closed the gap between them.    

This was the art of the heart of an emperor, a technique that could only be cultivated after years of accumulation. Even if others learned it, they would not be able to understand it.    

Lu Yu shook his head secretly. This Crown Prince had only learned the form of Zhao Tianyin, but did not grasp the true foundation of the Tai Qian Emperor.    

It was an absolute strength that used strength to suppress all those who did not obey.    

No matter who it was, even if it was the high and mighty Daolord, he still needed to bow to the Great Qian Emperor. This was the foundation of Zhao Tianyin.    

If the Emperor was here, he wouldn't need to waste any time talking. He would just silently watch and let others know that the Emperor was looking at all the High Scholars. That would be enough.    

"You are the number one Lu Yu on the Literature Ranking? Very good, you are indeed a talented man."    

The Crown Prince suddenly shifted his gaze to Lu Yu.    

Being stared at by the Crown Prince, Lu Yu's expression remained the same as usual. He said in a flat tone, "Your Highness, you flatter me."    

If it was anyone else who was paid such attention by the Crown Prince, they would probably feel excited as well. However, Lu Yu was very clear about the purpose of the Crown Prince's visit.    

He really wanted to rope in the Xu Family. He was afraid that he would not be able to do it in the theory examination, so he personally came to invigilate the combat examination!    

According to Cui Yong's secret letter, the Crown Prince valued this Imperial Examination as an important segment to rope in the Xu Family. He absolutely could not make a mistake.    

After all, the Xu Family did not lack money, nor did they lack power. If they wanted to win over the Xu Family, they had to start from the younger generation of the Xu Family. And this time, the Crown Prince valued Xu Tiangang!    

Lu Yu originally thought that the Crown Prince intended to forcefully change the paper during the theory examination, and that it was already considered over. He did not expect that in this combat examination, he would actually come personally. Looks like he was determined to make friends with the Xu Family.    

Lu Yu's gaze gradually turned cold, but his heart did not panic. His means was not something that a junior like Zhao Yuanyan could compare with.    

"Alright, just pretend that I'm not here. Everything will be fine as usual."    

The Crown Prince waved his hand and sat on the seat of honor.    

Zhang Xuance and the others sat down in succession. Immediately, a secretary announced the rules of the combat examination.    

Many people were already familiar with these rules, but they still had to read them out in advance to prevent some examinees from not knowing the rules.    

The entire combat examination had to be competed in three rounds. The rankings would be determined in all three rounds, and in the end, the rankings of the combat examination would be summarized.    

In all three matches, as long as any one of them did not pass, they would be disqualified. It could be said to be extremely harsh.    

Around the entire Weapon Points Battleground, countless pairs of eyes were watching everyone's every move.    

"Since all of you are clear about the rules, then let's begin the first round."    

Zhang Xuance waved his hand, and the platform began to shake violently.    

Just as everyone was in shock, a row of tall steps suddenly rose up in front of them, straight into the clouds.
