A series of curtains fell in the pavilion next to the lotus pond. All the candidates, cultivators, sect elders and celebrities present stood up, and then a clear voice from a woman came from inside, "No need to be polite, just sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Everyone sat down, and a royal court official smiled and said, "This year, I have produced many talents in Qingcheng, which is the highest in nearly a hundred years. This is entirely due to the wisdom of Your Highness. This is the first round of this battle. I made an exception. Please ask Your Highness to give a question."

The woman in the curtain smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this. The provincial test competition has long been followed by the old system, so how can we change it just by saying it."

Then the officials said that the fundamental reason for the provincial examination is to take the opportunity to adapt to the situation and kill decisively. If we follow the old system and have a formula in our hearts, wouldn’t it be an act? “So the officials dare to fight, please ask Your Highness to give this first round of questions.”

The woman in the curtain heard this and asked, "What do you think?"

When everyone said together, the woman in the curtain thought for a while, and then said, "I went to Qingshan County before, but I learned a fighting method from Qingqiu Xuezheng Zhao Xuezheng. I found it quite interesting. The examiners of the provincial examination will listen to it. If there is any discomfort, they will continue to follow the old system."

The official shouted softly when he heard this, "Then Zhao Xuezheng is so talented that the question he has given is in the eyes of His Highness. Then we have to listen to it."

The woman in the curtain smiled and said, "To put it simply, it is to take a basin of clear water and place it in a square inch. The fighters stand on one side and cannot move their bodies. Who can win by their own means?

The official heard the sound and said loudly, "It's amazing, it's so wonderful. This method can not only show the magic of Taoism and spiritual arts, but also avoid damage. It's so wonderful. In my opinion, this method should replace the original fighting method. Do you think so?"

Everyone cursed inwardly when they heard this. You flattering guys have come to this point, who can still say it, right?

The woman in the curtain smiled and said, "No hurry. Before we finish speaking, Zhao Xuezheng's method was used well at that time, but now most of the candidates have reached the level of consecration and their spiritual power has begun to be transformed. If we are engaged in a water bucket, our palace thinks it is unfair, so our palace thinks it will change the water bucket into a lotus bucket."

"Lotus Fight? How can I solve it if I don't have lotus Fight?" The official on the side asked in cooperation.

The woman in the curtain smiled and said, "Look at the lotus pond, many lotus flowers fall on the water. The first round of duels is a two-tongue. The two stood on both sides of the shore. Who can seize the lotus without hurting a flower and a fish in the lotus pond, and then be the winner. What do you think?"

The official immediately said, "It's wonderful, it's really even better. The lower officials think that nothing is better than this. This tests not only the profound cultivation, but also the exquisite methods. The lower officials think that this method is feasible. What do you think?"

Everyone responded, "Yes, yes, Your Highness's method is very wonderful."

Then the official asked the many candidates and practitioners sitting along the coast, "What do you think?"

All the thirty-study students said, "We have no objection."

After asking the candidate, the official and the woman in the curtain said, "Your Highness, can you start?"

The woman nodded in the curtain, "Let's go."

At this moment, an examiner took out a list and began to recite, "In the first round, Wei Zi must go against Mei Yingxue, Xu Feng to Li Munian... Jiang Xuan to Hao Cheng."

When Jiang Xuan heard his name, he laughed and said, "Brother Dai, I'm going down."

Xue Peng heard this and said, "I wish Brother Jiang a victory."

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "That's natural."

Soon after, Ma Youlian was called away, and her opponent was also a female cultivator. Xue Peng also wished, "I wish you a victory."

Ma Youlian nodded and then said, "So too." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Soon the examiner continued to recite, "Xue Peng vs. Han Shiyu."

Xue Peng got up and walked over when he heard this, and looked at his opponent.

Standing in front of him was a young man in his twenties, with his hands wrapped around his chest, and he looked at Xue Peng's mouth with a pride, "You are Xue Peng? This time I met me, you are unlucky. I have gained all the advantages here. If I don't want to lose all my face, I will admit defeat."

Xue Peng laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing to admit defeat even if he doesn't fight, Fellow Daoist Han, please."

Han Shiyu laughed and said, "That's right, but I won't let you lose too ugly later. Brother Xue, please."

Under the leadership of the examiner, the two came to the two bridges set on the lotus pond.

There are two long bridges, called the Gemini Bridge, which are curved, like two long snakes hanging on the surface of the lotus pond.

Xue Peng stood on the bridge to the south, and Han Shiyu stood on the bridge to the north, on the water surface more than ten feet apart. At this time, an examiner had already thrown the fallen lotus in the center of the two.

Han Shiyu's eyes flashed, and a green bead was added in front of him. Then he looked at the lotus with a look of eagerness to try. Xue Peng stared at Han Shiyu, but saw that Han Shiyu's spiritual power was quite powerful, and the spiritual power had flowed quickly and kept injecting into the bead. Xue Peng smiled slightly, took out the spirit sword from the Qiankun bag and held it in his palm.

At the same time, the examiner shouted loudly and the battle began.

Almost at the same time, Han Shiyu laughed loudly, "Brother Xue, I'll do it first." After the words, Han Shiyu bounced his fingers and several green lights poured into the emerald green beads in front of him. Then a green water flow of solid as the length of chopsticks and the thickness of toothpicks shot out from the emerald green beads. In a blink of an eye, it reached the pink lotus, and then wrapped around the roots of the lotus like a water snake, lifting the lotus away from the water surface.

Han Shiyu laughed and said, "This lotus flower is so beautiful. Brother Xue, I will accept it with a smile, haha."

Xue Peng raised his mouth slightly, held the sword in his left hand and slid the water surface suddenly. In an instant, countless water splashes burst out, the water curtains were in pieces, and the water beads were in strings, reflecting colorful light under the sunlight.

Xue Peng held the spirit sword behind his left hand, and pinched a water droplet with his thumb and index finger on his right hand. Then with the injection of spiritual power, the water droplet became green and dripping. Then Xue Peng pressed his index finger with his thumb and bounced it violently. The water droplet containing spiritual power came first and instantly hit the green water flow of the length of the chopsticks.

The water flow, which was thick and thin, like a spirit snake, seemed to be held seven inches away, and instantly became weak. Finally, it exploded into mist with a bang, and the lotus fell back to the water surface again.

Seeing this, Han Shiyu laughed loudly, "It's interesting and interesting."
