Chapter 121: Supplementary Weapon in War


    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions


    How fast was the speed of light? In an instant, the entire arena, and even the entire pocket dimension, was shrouded in white light.


    The examinees and examiners were instantly taken aback.


    A moment ago, they were all doing the same time, which was staring intently at Fang Zhengzhi. However, in a blink of an eye, they could only see one colour in the eyes. That was very, an extremely pure white...


    Just like milk.


    However, this milk white wasn’tfortable, just like daggers that stabbed through the skin of their eyes, drilling deep into their eyes.


    An intense pain overwhelmed them.


    "Ah!"


    "Ah... ah ah..."


    "My eyes!"


    Next, the entire pocket dimension descended into chaos.


    Because, nobody could see a thing, and nobody knew what was happening. Their vision had already beenpleted filled with white, or another way of putting it was, they had been temporarily blinded.


    "Ah, I can’t see anymore, am I blind? Why can’t I see a thing!"


    "What is this all about?!"


    What is man’s greatest fear?


    That was definitely the danger of the unknown. Hence, after being unable to see, everybody began to shout and scream continuously. The entire situation descended into chaos, and some examinees even instinctively stood up from their chairs and prepared to run.


    However, they were quickly tripped by their friends beside them.


    "Ah, who stepped on my face!"


    "Pain!"


    Excruciating criesbined with the round of falling down and faces hitting the ground echoed about, ying out a magnificent symphony of an imminent end of the world.


    However, no matter what they did, they were still unable to see.


    They could only wait for their vision to gradually recover.


    After nobody knew how long, the whiteness in the crowd’s visions began to disperse, reced by spots of green. As the green slowly began to spread, the surrounding scenery also gradually turned from a blurry mess into something clear...


    Next, the entire world returned back into their eyes.


    However...


    After everybody’s visions had recovered.


    The scene on the arena caused them to instantly widen their eyes again, each of them filled with an expression of disbelief. Because, other than Fang Zhengzhi, there was nobody else on the arena.


    "Where is Yan Xiu?! Where did Yan Xiu go to?"


    Fang Zhengzhi stood very patiently on the arena. After hearing their words, he pointed with his right hand towards Yan Xiu, who was sitting on the ground with a flustered expression. His left hand quickly kept a ink-coloured object back into his pocket.


    "Yan Xiu fell off the stage?!"


    "What was that all about, why was there such a blinding light?"


    "What a powerful light, it is even more powerful than the sun!"


    After the crowd discovered that Yan Xiu hadnded below the arena, they became even more shocked. Nobody bothered to find out who had stepped on whose face, because, they were more concerned about what had just happened.


    Han Changfeng’s vision had also returned at this moment. As the chief imperial messenger from the Imperial Academy, his cultivation naturally cannot bepared to the average examinee.


    For example, even though he clearly couldn’t see a thing just now, he didn’t move at all.


    What joke was this...


    Even if he wasn’t able to see, he would still be able to hear clearly with his ears. If there really was danger around him, with his perceptive capabilities, he would definitely be able to realise it. Moreover, this was also the pocket dimension!


    But, when he saw clearly the scene in front of him, he couldn’t quite contain the shock in his eyes.


    "Actually, I’ve one technique that I have yet to use?"


    Han Changfeng suddenly recalled the words Fang Zhengzhi spoke to Yan Xiu on the arena.


    One technique?


    Was this the technique that Fang Zhengzhi all along didn’t use?


    Mysterious. His heart was now somewhat in confused. If that ray of light was really caused by Fang Zhengzhi, then, how did he achieve it?


    Ability...


    That’s impossible! Not mentioning that Fang Zhengzhi was only at Star Conglomerate, even one in the Heavenly Reflection State wouldn’t be able to achieve that! Then, there was only one possibility. It was treasure, Fang Zhengzhi hid a fearsome treasure on his body!


    What was that?


    "I told you all to look carefully, yet you all really looked carefully... sh grenade, I believe none of you had ever seen this before?" Fang Zhengzhi met the shocked gazes that shot towards him, and sighed in his heart. He twitched his mouth with a face filled with innocence.


    This was the real advanced technology, the product of chemistry.


    Of course, a long time ago, Sun Tzu had already mentioned in his chapter, Attack by Stratagem, that a sh grenade used powerful light to hinder the opponent’s vision, and was a supplementary weapon in war.


    However...


    The light from the sh grenade at that time was indeed nothing too special. However, the one Fang Zhengzhi used now, even though it was nothingpared to the modern military ones, but the powerful light could still blind people for at least two minutes.


    Two minutes? In this world, that was enough to achieve anything.


    When Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi again, his expression seemed somewhatplicated...


    In his memories, the only person who could create such powerful and blinding light so quickly seemed to only be his grandfather.


    Fang Zhengzhi?


    How did he do it? Did he rely on something?


    Actually, Yan Xiu felt that he had already did his part just now. The instant when the white light exploded, he had already realised it, and the first thing he did was to frantically employ his Wind Shadow Technique.


    Unfortunately, his legs had still been tripped, then, he rolled to the bottom of the arena.


    "You..." Actually, Yan Xiu really wished to ask Fang Zhengzhi, what is this?


    But, when the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back. Because, he knew very clearly that some techniques, especially this powerful and secretive technique, shouldn’t be known by too many people.


    Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu’s slightly parted lips, and naturally understood what Yan Xiu was thinking.


    However...


    About the sh grenade, he temporarily hadn’t thought of an exnation. Teach Yan Xiu chemistry knowledge? No matter how he looked at it, it wasn’t very appropriate. However, without talking about chemistry, was he supposed to tell Yan Xiu that he actually had the memory from another world?


    "I am willing to tell you, but... not now!" Fang Zhengzhi looked around at the surrounding examinees.


    Yan Xiu’s expression changed slightly, then, a smile appeared on his face again. He had lost; However, he had found a friend that was truly willing to exchange secrets with him.


    "Ok." Yan Xiu nodded. The smile on his face vanished, and he didn’t speak any further.


    The surrounding examinees at this moment were still stuck in their moment of shock. All of them wished to know the answer, however, they knew that Fang Zhengzhi wouldn’t say it.


    On the judging table, Han Changfeng looked at Fang Zhengzhi in silence, seeming slightly out of sorts. The other examiners, on the other hand, also exchanged nces to convey the shock in their hearts.


    The venue seemed somewhat silent.


    Right at this moment, Qin Yumei turned her head around, and looked at Han Changfeng.


    "Elder Han... is it time to announce?"


    Qin Yumei’s voice wasn’t loud, however, Han Changfeng heard it. Instantly breaking out of his thoughts, he was just about to announce when he suddenly received a shock.


    Fang Zhengzhi...


    Seemed to not only be the roll champion of thebat examination, but was also the roll champion of the theory examination. Then, that means... he is the double roll champion of this time’s capital examination!


    This...


    Han Changfeng evidently couldn’t really ept this fact.


    In reality, before the start of this River of Trust Capital examinations, nobody had ever thought that Fang Zhengzhi could attain roll champion in this capital examination, furthermore, it was a double roll champion!


    This was the true champion of the schrs from the five capitals in the Northern Desert!


    When Fang Zhengzhi’s name first appeared in the theory examination paper, he had thought of many possibilities, however, Fang Zhengzhi’s theory examination paper was too outstanding, so outstanding that he simply wasn’t able to find any ws.


    Every single question was beautifully answered, and the content he wrote from memory didn’tck a single word.


    Under such circumstances...


    He really couldn’t find any reason to give the roll champion to any other examinee.


    However, thebat examination was different.


    There were many variables in thebat examination, furthermore, there was even Hua Kangan of the Star Conglomerate State. Even so, Han Changfeng had made other arrangements to prevent this.


    In order to strengthen the variables in thebat examination, he had specially utilised the pocket dimension to remove the examiners from the scene of the examination. Under such circumstances, there were more opportunities, and...


    The circumstance of a few examinees ganging up on one person might even ur.


    But in the end?


    identals appeared time and time again, and finally, it had reached this stage.


    "Then... I’ll have to trouble Yumei!" Han Changfeng’s tone seemed somewhat pained. He had already tried his best, even though he was the chief examiner, there were still people judging him from below.


    He knew, from now onwards, Fang Zhengzhi’s glory couldn’t be concealed anymore.


    After all, this River of Trust Capital examination gathered the eyes of every schr under the skies.


    Very quickly, news of Fang Zhengzhi attaining the double roll champion of the River of Trust Capital examination had spread in the fastest possible time across the entire Northern Desert, into the imperial capital, into the Heaven Dao Pavilion, and even to the demon race...


    "The Northern Desert Divine Constabry is once again going to... sigh..." Han Changfeng sighed heavily inside his heart.


    And at this moment, Qin Yumei had already stood up. Slowly tidying up his ck official robe, he lightly cleared his throat.


    Then, his gaze swept across all the examinees and looked at Yan Xiu.


    Finally, itnded on Fang Zhengzhi, who was on the arena.


    "Now, as an imperial messenger from the Imperial Academy, I represent Elder Han to announce the final results of this River of Trust Capital examination!" Qin Yumei’s voice contained an aura of authority.


    This one sentence shocked the examinees back to their senses. Each of them instinctively shot their gazes towards Fang Zhengzhi who was standing on the arena, each of their gazes containing too many emotions.


    "Combat examination roll champion, Fang Zhengzhi!"


    "At the same time, Fang Zhengzhi is also the theory examination champion of this capital examination, hence, he is the double roll champion!"


    "Double roll champion!"


    When these three words echoed about the examinees’ ears, each of their eyes were filled with unparalleled envy. Because, they were really very envious.


    Double roll champion of the capital examination!


    Furthermore...


    This was the River of Trust Capital examination, a capital examination that had gathered talented schrs from the five capitals of the Northern Desert!


    If this didn’t cause jealousy, how could it not cause envy?!


    This was really a move that would enjoy tremendous poprity in the world, a move that was akin to a fish leaping over the dragon’s gate!


    But now, the person who received all these...


    Was actually a youth who came from the viges!


    "Furthermore, I am going to make another announcement. I believe everybody had heard that the Northern Desert Divine Constabry had specially set a prize for this capital examination!" Qin Yumei’s voice sounded out again, and when he mentioned the prize, his voice contained a mysterious trace of excitement.
