Luck entry, starting from the Nine Dragons' succession

Chapter 195 The Shattering of the Invincible Heart

Upon seeing the contents of the Dragon Locking Scroll, Lin Qihe's surprise deepened, even bordering on shock.

He never expected that Jiang Pojun would turn a trapping formation into a killing formation.

Only three words were in my mind.

Does this work too?
No wonder Jiang Tianhou would actually give him military advice; Jiang Pojun's comprehension of military strategy is truly unexpected!
Lin Qihe remained outwardly calm, but a deep joy welled up inside him.

As someone from a poor family, he naturally hoped that someone from a poor family would shine in this imperial examination.

If children from poor families are always overshadowed by those from aristocratic families, then in the next imperial examination, they will have even less confidence to argue their case against these powerful families.

Because these powerful and wealthy families can confidently say that so-called poor children are all good-for-nothings.

Give the official positions to them; why waste them on peasants?

Even if Lin Qihe wanted to refute it, he had no way to refute it.

This put Lin Qihe in a dilemma.

For him, Jiang Pojun was the one who would break the deadlock.

Lin Qihe forced his voice into a line, transmitting it into the broken scroll of the Dragon Lock, and shouted sharply.

"Jiang Pojun, the incomplete Dragon Locking Scroll is a trapping formation."

"You have arbitrarily transformed a trapping formation into a killing formation. Do you know your crime?"

Within the incomplete scroll of the Dragon Locking, the avatar, upon hearing this, let out a cold laugh.

"Trapping the enemy? Killing the enemy? Formations are static, but soldiers are dynamic!" the avatar said in a deep voice, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

Hearing Jiang Pojun's answer, Lin Qihe felt a surge of emotion.

"Such a strong bloodthirsty nature!"

"This child is a born general!"

Fifteen breaths later.

It transformed and broke through the formation.

It took less than twenty breaths.

Seeing that the avatar appeared so quickly, the wealthy young men who were watching the show all showed mocking expressions.

"I knew it! What do peasants know about military strategy?"

"They can't apply military strategy at all."

"That's right! It's fine for us peasants to be our bodyguards, why should we need to learn military strategy?"

Even if he masters the training, will he have the opportunity to lead troops?

The whispers among the crowd were laced with mocking and sarcastic remarks.

On the side of the poor disciples, seeing that even the strongest Jiang Pojun had "slunk out" in disgrace, their morale collapsed instantly, like a flood bursting its banks, and they no longer had the courage to delve into the incomplete military strategy manual.

Seeing that the students from poor families were listless and on the verge of collapse, like sparks in a storm that could be extinguished at any moment, Lin Qihe frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly raised his voice, making it resounding and firm.

"Jiang Pojun, armor up!"

On top of armor? ? ?
On top! ! !
The children of the wealthy were stunned, while the children of the poor were overjoyed.

On top of armor?
Doesn't this mean that Jiang Pojun has unlocked the Dragon Locking Scroll?

Moreover, it took less than twenty breaths, far less than the scions of many wealthy families.

Immediately, the students from humble backgrounds gained momentum and were filled with fighting spirit.

If Jiang Pojun can do it, I can definitely do it too!

The avatar glanced at Lin Qihe, then at the group of wealthy young men, and then at the group of poor young men.

He saw all the different aspects of life.

After pondering for a moment, he walked towards the incomplete Xuan Tian scroll, appearing ready to decipher it.

This behavior not only startled the candidates present, but even the chief examiner, Lin Qihe, was astonished.

According to the rules, you only need to complete one incomplete volume of military strategy to pass the test.

Jiang Pojun is...

An official from the imperial examinations standing nearby whispered in Lin Qihe's ear, "Sir, this is against the rules."

In a flash, Lin Qihe made a decision, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "It's alright, let him go and try out the Xuan Tian Remnant Scroll."

"Since Jiang Pojun is so confident, we can just watch and see."

The official who reminded Lin Qihe was a descendant of the Twenty-Four Divine Generals of Yuntai Pavilion.

He reminded Lin Qihe in the hope that Lin Qihe would stop Jiang Pojun.

Given Jiang Pojun's recent display of military strategy, the Xuan Tian Remnant Scroll probably won't be a problem for him.

Having broken through two volumes in a row, wouldn't Jiang Pojun, this peasant, steal all the limelight from the imperial examination?
He felt uneasy watching Jiang Pojun rise to power by stepping on the faces of their wealthy family's scions.

Since the chief examiner, Lin Qihe, had agreed, there was nothing he could do but watch helplessly as a white light burst forth from the Xuan Tian Remnant Scroll, sucking Jiang Pojun into it.

Fifteen breaths later, Jiang Pojun emerged from the Xuan Tian Remnant Scroll.

This time it took even less time.

"As expected of Jiang Pojun, he truly is a prodigy from our humble background!"

"If anyone ever dares to say that a true dragon cannot emerge from a poor family again, I will smash their dog brains."

"Jiang Pojun is a role model for us! If I had even a fraction of his military strategy skills, I would definitely pass the second test."

The children from poor families were full of vigor and high spirits, while the children from wealthy families looked as if they had lost their parents, presenting completely different attitudes.

After breaking the Xuan Tian Remnant Scroll, the avatar did not stop and went straight to the last scroll, the Blood Fiend Remnant Scroll.

"Could it be..."

"Arrogant..."

"why is it like this?"

"So what if you break through three volumes in a row? I can do that too. I just didn't expect the imperial examinations to be held so late."

The young master from the wealthy family was indignant, his gaze towards the avatar blazing with fury.

They weren't lacking the ability to break through three volumes in a row; they just lacked the awareness to do so, allowing Jiang Pojun to steal the spotlight.

Although failing three tests in a row won't improve your grades, it will certainly make you the center of attention.

The wealthy scion, who was quite knowledgeable in military strategy, was already regretting his actions and slapping his thigh in frustration.

It took twelve breaths to break the Blood Demon's incomplete scroll.

The three volumes of military strategy fragments were being broken apart at an increasingly rapid pace, as if they were not being used at all.

The avatar, having deciphered three volumes, returned amidst the admiring gazes of the poor disciples.

After returning to the group of poor students, he flipped his right hand and took out a jade slip, saying in a deep voice, "This is my understanding after deciphering three volumes. You can read it once for one copper coin."

The moment the words left his mouth, the entire hall erupted in chaos!

This is blatant cheating!

Jiang Pojun is incredibly audacious; where does he place the laws and regulations of the imperial court?

"presumptuous!"

"Jiang Pojun, do not disrupt the examination order." An official in charge of the imperial examination stepped forward and shouted sharply, his piercing eyes seeming to see right through Jiang Pojun.

The avatar glanced at the person who had reprimanded him, a mere junior official in the Ministry of Rites, who dared to overstep his bounds?

Lin Qihe, the chief examiner, hasn't spoken yet.

"Who are you?"

"Can you represent the chief examiner for this imperial examination?"

"Even if it violates the laws of the imperial court, it is up to the chief examiner to decide."

The incarnation spoke with neither arrogance nor servility, showing no respect whatsoever to the wealthy man.

The official in charge of the Ministry of Rites' expression changed slightly, and he felt a wave of fear. He had overstepped his bounds and probably offended Lin Qihe.

He quickly got up and went to ask Lin Qihe for instructions.

But they saw that Lin Qihe's eyes were slightly closed, as if he were asleep.

"Mr. Lin, he..."

"Lord Lin has been overworked these past few days and has fallen asleep."

Fell asleep?
The Ministry of Rites official knew perfectly well that Lin Qihe was pretending to be asleep. How could Lin Qihe, as the chief examiner, possibly be asleep during such an important event as the imperial examination?

However, you can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.

Lin Qihe's feigned sleep meant that there was no way to judge Jiang Pojun's matter, and they could only watch helplessly as he sold his military strategy insights.

Seeing Lin Qihe's appearance, the official from the Ministry of Rites knew Lin Qihe's attitude.

It's obvious they're favoring those from poor families.

Seeing that Lin Qihe remained silent, the poor students who had been hesitating just moments before immediately felt relieved.

The fact that the examiner didn't stop them was tantamount to encouraging them.

It's just a copper coin; it's practically free.

"I come!"

"I'll come first!"

Seeing everyone scrambling to get their hands on the jade slips, he simply copied a hundred of them.

The examiner pretended to be asleep, while the candidates openly cheated—this outrageous scene unfolded right there in the main hall.

The princes on the viewing platform looked at each other in disbelief; none of them had expected things to develop to this point.

Fang Heng looked at the scene in the main hall, nodded slightly, and smiled.

This was something he had planned to do long ago.

From the moment Fang Heng learned that the second test would assess military strategy, he sensed the dark, ulterior motives of the wealthy families.

At the same time, he was even more aware that while it was possible for geniuses to emerge from wealthy families, the number of geniuses from humble backgrounds far exceeded that of those from wealthy families. In fact, the number of geniuses from humble backgrounds far surpassed that from wealthy families.

A dynasty that lacks mobility within its ruling class and doesn't provide opportunities for advancement for those below it will quickly lose its vitality.

This time, with the help of the guardian deity and the invincible body, the ten major Taoist courts were finally apprehended, and the imperial examination was launched for the first time.

Fang Heng naturally did not want the place to become a martial arts arena for the children of the various powerful families.

A quarter of an hour later.

Lin Qihe coughed twice, seemingly "waking up"!

Hearing Lin Qihe's commotion, the poor scholars put away their jade slips, reviewed the texts in their minds, and prepared to enter the incomplete military strategy manual.

Lin Qihe "slowly awoke," appearing completely unaware of anything, and calmly said:
"I am feeling quite tired and just took a short rest."

"You've worked hard, Lord Lin!"

The children from poor families shouted loudly, almost to the point of worship, while the children from wealthy families pursed their lips and remained silent.

Lin Qihe remained unperturbed, smiled calmly, and said:

"Let's continue the military strategy assessment."

An hour later, all the poor students had passed the test.

This scene caught Lin Ying's eye, and she immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, overcome with rage, she fainted and collapsed to the ground.

My Dao heart is shattered!
Upon seeing this, Fang Heng looked surprised, then couldn't help but chuckle. If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, he probably would have burst out laughing.

This Lin Ying was one of the eleven people whose luck he had noticed was problematic, a pawn of a certain Great Dao Court.

His invincible spirit was shattered by the results of the second test.

This is really...

Fang Heng didn't know how to describe it either.

To describe someone as a "straw bag" would be an insult to the word "straw bag".
The moment Lin Ying lost consciousness, a figure suddenly appeared beside her.

The old man in the Taoist robe looked extremely grim when he saw the unconscious Lin Ying.

Elder Zhao of the Earth Mother Palace.

Elder Zhao's appearance confirmed to Fang Heng that Lin Ying was a pawn of the Earth Mother Palace.

Seeing Lin Ying's invincible heart shattered, Elder Zhao trembled with rage, his beard shaking uncontrollably.

Lin Ying was the nephew of his concubine. If it weren't for that little vixen who used all eighteen martial arts skills to please him and make him feel like he was dying of pleasure, he would never have chosen Lin Ying as a candidate for the Invincible Body.

Who knew Lin Ying would be so incompetent?

Isn't it just because he saw a peasant who he usually looked down on achieve better results than him?
Can't stand it?

Elder Zhao didn't even know how to describe how psychologically fragile she was!
The key is!

This is a crucial plan for the sect!
How is he supposed to explain this to the sect leader?
……

In the Yangxin Palace.

A curtain of light floated in the void.

Inside the main hall, the entire process of the second imperial examination was witnessed by Emperor Yuanchu.

Seeing Lin Ying's invincible heart shattered, he felt a surge of pleasure, like eating an ice-cold watermelon on a sweltering summer day.

Upon seeing Emperor Yuanchu's delighted expression, Eunuch Su immediately began to flatter him, saying:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations on eliminating a great enemy!"

"Lin Ying's defeat was due to her mindset."

"However... Jiang Pojun's contribution is also considerable!"

Emperor Yuanchu looked at Jiang Pojun's voice on the light screen, his eyes flashing with strange light as he seemed to be deep in thought.

This little guy is interesting!

Emperor Yuanchu's appearance did not fall into the eyes of Eunuch Su, and Eunuch Su was immediately alarmed.

This Jiang Pojun is truly favored by the Emperor.

As long as it's not a meteoric rise, then a meteoric success is just around the corner.

After observing Jiang Pojun's performance in both the first and second trials, Emperor Yuanchu had other thoughts in mind and said in a deep voice:
"Summon the Right Chancellor here."

"I think the content of the three examinations in the imperial examination should be readjusted."
