Chapter 183 Today is the day he dies! (Three in One)
This [Wenwu Tower] is just an interesting little copy in the game.
The written test tests your knowledge reserves. Although it will occupy your screen during the test, you can still take out your mobile phone to search for answers or ask for help.
However, because there is a time limit for passing the levels, and sometimes the test involves some little-known facts that appear in the game background, the chance of failure is quite high.
The martial arts test does not simply test your combat ability, but also involves various mechanical monsters to test your in-depth understanding of various buffs and hidden mechanisms in the game.
Overall, it's a pretty interesting copy.
But when Yaoshan was first setting it up, this [Wenwu Tower] did have a bug that couldn't really be called a bug.
Theoretically, only one person can enter the tower at a time.
Only after passing a level will the restrictions on entering the next level be lifted, allowing the challenger to reach a higher level and continue the challenge.
However, this is where the problem lies.
[Wenwu Tower] only stipulates that "as the challenger passes one level of test, one level of restriction will be released."
However, there is no regulation on the number of people who can break through the barrier, nor is there any restriction that the person who breaks through the barrier and passes the restriction must be the same person.
In other words, if the challenger wishes, he can go back and try again, reopen the restriction, and allow another person to pass.
In this way, you can take the exam for someone else.
All I can say is that the underlying code is written like this.
However, in fact, this method has been thought of before, but it is very difficult to implement.
After all, the [Wenwu Tower] isn't just a self-operating machine. It's right next to the Yaoshan Academy, and the people there are watching...
In addition to the academy disciples guarding the gate, there are also teachers from the academy who come to check on the situation from time to time.
It is extremely difficult to bring another person in under the nose of the academy.
Furthermore, most people can’t even pass the exam themselves, so how can they take the exam for someone else?
Ideals are full, but reality is skinny.
There is only the theory of existence, but no possibility of practice.
However, for Gu Fangchen, these are not a problem...
You Shao originally wanted to say that this was against the rules, but he looked at the sword in the maid's hand.
The sword was simple and ancient, like wood or stone, and looked ordinary.
But they all knew that this was the peerless sword that was refined from the mountains and rivers and was later confirmed by the Eye of Heaven to be the "Seventy-two Peaks Towering Sword".
On the list of divine weapons of Yan Tiansi, this sword is second only to the [Sick Spring] in Ying Baishou's hand.
Among all the swords, this one is the best in the world.
There is no way. Although this sword has no actual combat record, the special effect of being able to split into seventy-two swords is already amazing enough.
In fact, if it can be completely successfully refined, this sword can even compete with [Sick Spring].
Unfortunately, Gu Fangchen knew in his heart that this sword would never succeed from the beginning.
Because this sword is actually just a part of the formation, extracting the power of the earth veins and serving as a medium to transmit it to the ancestor milk.
Although I don’t know what the Grandmother wants to do, there is no doubt that the sword’s sacrifice has completely failed and there is no further possibility.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, this sword is still Gu Fangchen's greatest reliance.
You Shao naturally turned his gaze back to Gu Fangchen, sighed, and bowed:
"Since the prince has spoken, we cannot stop him... If the prince can get through twice, then he can naturally bring your maid with him."
If it were someone else, the academy would not break the rules so easily.
But who made him the prince of Zhenbei?
If he can do it twice... then he's capable.
Anyway, as long as Gu Fangchen can enter the Wenwu Tower, their mission will be completed...
However, the practitioners around him were not as calm as You Shao.
When Gu Fangchen said this, it was equivalent to saying that those who had not passed before were fools!
There were many practitioners who had tried before but failed. Their tempers immediately turned red. At that moment, they were all excited and said sarcastically with red faces and gritted teeth:
"What a great Gu Fangchen! He's just a sixth-rank brute. Does he think that a few polite words from a Confucian sage make him a genius who is both civil and military?"
"That's right! He wasn't the one who stole the show at the Qionglin Banquet!"
"I don't think he dares to challenge the written test at all. He just relies on his martial arts skills. I think the fifth level is his limit."
"No way? The academy invited him to be a teacher, would he dare to turn his back on them in public? That's too arrogant..."
"Wasn't this guy a dandy scoundrel before? It's easy to change a situation, but hard to change one's nature. I don't believe he hasn't had some genuine emotion in his role after so many years!"
These people were talking about it, and in fact, some of them wanted to provoke Gu Fangchen and make him embarrass himself by taking the written test.
Because they knew very well that even if Gu Fangchen really took the martial arts test, could the people in the academy still refute the saint?
——Seeing this guy coming to the Wenwu Tower with a maid holding a sword, I think he is most likely going to take the martial arts test.
This invitation was originally issued by the saint. No matter how unwilling the academy was, it had no choice but to accept it.
Gu Fangchen walked to the front of the tower. The two academy disciples at the door made a gesture of invitation and explained:
"Your Highness, if you enter from the left, you will receive the civil service exam. If you enter from the right, you will receive the martial arts exam."
Gu Fangchen smiled, turned to look at Xuexiang, raised his eyebrows and said softly:
"Let's go, just go to the literary examination area and wait for the restrictions to be lifted."
Xuexiang nodded and walked to the left with the sword in her arms.
The gatekeeper disciple shook his head secretly.
If it was a martial arts test, they wouldn't say anything... As expected, he is still young and hot-headed. He can't stand being provoked and insists on taking the literary test. I'm afraid he will be embarrassed later.
Gu Fangchen smiled, then waved his fan and stepped to the right. The gatekeeper was stunned and said:
"Your Highness, the written test is over here..."
Gu Fangchen kept walking, glanced at him, and said lightly:
"I didn't say I'd just go one way."
Because only one person is preset to pass the level.
The civil and military sides are not judged separately, and where a person is does not affect the answers to the civil test.
Let Xuexiang wait for the written test, while he passed the martial arts test and also took the test for Xuexiang.
Although it's okay to just be ordinary, but now that he's here, as a player, how can he be worthy of the journey he's taken, working day and night on strategy guides, if he doesn't give these people a little shock?
If you want to pretend, pretend to be big!
The two gatekeeper disciples' expressions froze for a moment, and for a moment they seemed unable to understand what Gu Fangchen meant.
It was not until Gu Fangchen stepped over the threshold of the martial arts test and disappeared into it that the two of them looked at each other and saw the speechless look in each other's eyes.
This guy... has really been provoked to the point of losing his mind?
Taking both the martial arts test and the literary test is much more difficult than passing either the martial arts test or the literary test twice!
It is difficult for normal people to do two things at once, let alone doing a physical test and solving math problems at the same time.
It is simply impossible to accomplish!
When the monks outside the tower saw Gu Fangchen and his maid walking to the two sides respectively, they were stunned and then burst into an uproar.
"Is Gu Fangchen crazy?!"
"Heh... He's truly young and frivolous, and can't stand being told off. Let's just wait for him to come down in disgrace. This so-called number 10 on the Minor Heavenly Ranking is nothing more than that."
"With the cultivation gained through drug use, he couldn't even pass the martial arts test, and yet he still wants to have it both ways. This is truly ridiculous!"
"The changes in the Wenwu Pagoda can be seen clearly from the Jiangling River. This is really embarrassing..."
Those young practitioners shook their heads and sneered at Gu Fangchen's ignorant behavior.
This Wenwu Tower has stood here for many years, and only a few people can reach the seventh floor or above.
Later on, these people had at least the third-grade cultivation level.
Gu Fangchen had revealed very few actual combat records, and they just thought that this guy was really overestimating his own abilities.
Even if you are eager to prove your strength, there is no need to use such a stupid method, right?
In this way, it would have been enough to lose face once, but now it's been lost twice...
However, this incident was truly shocking, and some of the practitioners whose attention was originally attracted by the pleasure boat were attracted back.
Moreover, more and more people continued to gather.
Obviously, there were some busybodies who spread the news immediately... It's human nature to watch the fun and listen to gossip.
Furthermore, if Gu Fangchen really succeeded, then today's challenge would go down in history!
Everyone looked up, eagerly waiting.
However, the interior of the Wenwu Tower was closed, and they could not see the specific situation. They could only wait for the tower to light up, symbolizing the lifting of the ban and the five-colored light emitted by the preaching stele.
…
On the river in the distance.
The Dugu family's pleasure boat moved slowly forward in the waves. A group of beautiful girls, carrying the fragrant breeze, laughed and played on the bow of the boat, admiring the scenery along the way, or writing a few simple poems and commenting on them.
I feel so relaxed and at ease.
These were all young ladies of marriageable age from the Dugu family, and there were also a few ladies who were chatting.
Ning Caiyong was also among them, staring blankly at the tall tower standing on the distant shore.
She changed into a simple and elegant dress, with black and white ink plum blossoms blooming along her waist, and a water-red shawl draped over her arm. Amidst the plainness, this winding touch of bright color was particularly eye-catching.
Most people cannot suppress this eye-catching contrast of colors, but Ning Caiyong has an unparalleled beautiful and graceful face, which can be called a national beauty, and is far more gorgeous than the red on his body.
When others see her, they will only be attracted by her appearance, and then they will pay attention to what she is wearing.
This woman, who was once the most beautiful woman in the world, even time could not defeat her beauty.
Even among all these delicate young ladies, the radiant Ning Caiyong outshines everyone else.
Ning Caiyong came to this pleasure boat not only to witness Gu Fangchen passing the Wenwu Tower, but also with the intention of choosing a princess for Gu Fangchen.
But when she was really among these young flowers, past memories flooded into her mind, and she felt a little uncomfortable and a little lonely that she could hardly control.
There will always be younger beauties in the world, and she can no longer have her wasted youth.
The sigh dissipated in the river breeze.
The fate started back then, and now it’s over.
The good husband she thought she once had was just an illusion.
Ning Caiyong looked at his own reflection in the water - when the waves broke, blurring her face, the beauty in the water looked just like the young girl of 28 who had passed by the Wenwu Pagoda that day.
The dress she was wearing was exactly the same one she wore that day.
Ning Caiyong pursed his lips and looked towards the Wenwu Tower with an indescribable expression.
How she wanted to... start over again, so as not to meet the wrong person.
Behind him, several young ladies from the Dugu family covered their faces with fans and talked in low voices. It was obvious that they also knew that Gu Fangchen had been invited to challenge the Wenwu Tower.
"This first level isn't difficult. How long do you think His Royal Highness will need it?"
"If it's a martial arts test, it shouldn't be difficult. The King of Zhenbei only took ten breaths to pass the first level. The prince is now at the sixth level... thirty breaths shouldn't be a problem."
It had only been a few days since Gu Fangchen broke through to the fifth level, and no outsiders knew about it yet.
In their hearts, Gu Fangchen is still at the sixth level of Wudan realm.
At this moment, a faint white light was emanating from all around the Wenwu Tower, which was a sign that someone had entered.
The girls on the boat were silent.
The next moment, two five-colored lights lit up on the first floor of the Wenwu Tower!
Everyone on the boat was stunned for a moment, their pupils constricted, and they stood up in disbelief, their covered mouths forming an "o" shape.
"How long...how long did this take?"
"It seems like less than five breaths...I should remember correctly, right?"
"hiss--"
"But why are both sides lit up at the same time?"
When everyone realized what was happening, they looked at each other in surprise and confusion.
It can't be that there are two people trying to pass the level together, right?
When the prince went out today, he only brought a maid with him...
They had also investigated the maid's background and found out that she was just an ordinary maid born in a farming family. It was a great fortune for her to be chosen by the prince as his concubine.
He has no cultivation at all and is just an ordinary person. How can he pass any level of the Wenwu Tower?
Immediately, someone took out a communication stone and asked the people on the shore about their situation.
And in this gap, the second layer lit up again!
There was a sudden silence on the pleasure boat.
"How long did it take this time?"
"Ten breaths?"
"Both sides light up again..."
Someone read the message on the communication stone and was stunned. His hand slipped and he almost dropped the stone. He cried out in a choked voice:
"The Crown Prince is taking both the civil and military examinations at the same time?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people on the other pleasure boats who had not paid much attention to this matter were also shocked. They stood up and looked towards the direction of the Wenwu Tower.
A dozen or so large pleasure boats all stopped in the middle of the water and no longer moved forward.
Soon, the third floor also lit up!
"Twelve breaths?"
The fourth floor!
"Wait... ten breaths?! Why is it getting faster?!"
There was no pause at all, he just walked across as if he was walking on flat ground!
At this moment, all the onlookers were shocked beyond words, with only one thought in their minds -
Where did this come from? Is this still the Wenwu Tower?
Is this still the Wenwu Pagoda that has stumped countless practitioners?!
The practitioners who had passed through the Wenwu Tower had even more complicated feelings. If it was really that simple, then what were they then?
I even had the thought that the academy was helping Gu Fangchen cheat.
However, they also knew that if the academy was determined to let Gu Fangchen be the teacher, then they could just waive this trial. Why make it so obvious?
Soon, after about twenty breaths, both sides of the fifth floor lit up at the same time!
At the same time, above the Wenwu Tower, wind and clouds gathered, and a ray of five-colored auspicious cloud descended!
"Oh my god... is that Wen Qi?!"
Those practitioners looked up and were all stunned.
Just go through the levels, at most you are lucky. The questions you encounter are all some little-known facts, which Gu Fangchen, who is knowledgeable and experienced, happens to know.
But the literary style is different!
This means that he may have encountered creative questions during the process of passing the level.
It could be any one of poetry, songs or prose... But no matter what, his work is definitely a stunning masterpiece that has never appeared before, which can arouse strange phenomena in heaven and earth and bring down the literary spirit!
What the demon cultivator at the Qionglin Banquet was able to do, Gu Fangchen can also do now!
I originally thought that the demon was just taking advantage of the situation, but I didn't expect that he was really imitating Gu Fangchen himself.
And now, Gu Fangchen himself is also taking the martial arts test at the same time.
This means that he not only passed the martial arts test in twenty breaths, but also wrote poems and essays at the same time, and his works were of such a level that they could cause strange phenomena in heaven and earth.
Is this a human? ! !
During this short period of time, everyone below looked up at the layers of light on the tower, with expressions as if they were dreaming.
If I wasn't dreaming, how could something like this happen?
Everyone held their breath and looked up in fear, fearing that the tower would light up again within a few seconds.
But fortunately, after thirty breaths, there was still no movement on the sixth floor.
"Once you reach the fifth level, you're already qualified to join the academy... Shouldn't this be stopped?"
"Indeed, after such a long period of silence, it's time to call it a day."
The man muttered to himself, and then he noticed that the people around him were looking at him strangely. He immediately realized what stupid things he had said and smiled awkwardly.
It’s crazy…
Those who had passed the level before might still be on the second level after thirty breaths!
Now that I’m being fucked by this pervert, it feels like thirty breaths are a long time... Damn it, he’s really too perverted!
Those who had mocked Gu Fangchen before were now covering their faces and sneaking away in the chaos.
"Buzz—"
About forty breaths passed.
The sixth floor lit up again, symbolizing Gu Fangchen's progress again.
Ning Caiyong stood at the bow with her slender hands on her chest. Although Gu Fangchen was obviously not in any danger at the moment, her heart was pounding with nervousness for some reason, and at the same time, she felt relieved and proud.
Back then, Gu Yuye reached the eighth level...
Chen'er walked his path again, but became stronger than him.
And he is not just a little bit strong, he is strong enough to crush everyone into dust!
…
It actually only took Gu Fangchen twenty-five breaths to pass the sixth level.
The extra time was because I stayed on the fifth floor for a while longer.
When he walked to the corridor on the fifth floor, he suddenly felt a palpitation and his eyelids twitched so much that he felt a chill down his spine.
So he quickly looked down from the window, and the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched.
A red umbrella suddenly appeared among the crowd below.
The scholars in the south of the Yangtze River are fond of elegance and prefer plain clothes. Most of the practitioners who can gather under the Wenwu Tower are dressed in black and white, and do not have any conspicuous clothes.
And this red umbrella is very dazzling.
But the people around seemed not to notice and continued to talk among themselves, not even glancing at the red umbrella.
The moment Gu Fangchen looked down, the red umbrella was lifted up, revealing a pretty and fair face of a girl.
But what doesn't match this handsome face are those abyss-like eyes and the ice-cold expression!
Gu Fangchen was very familiar with this face and these eyes.
Not long ago, he even pretended to be the other party and got himself the identity of the master of the "love" path.
Yier...
In other words, "The Lord of Four Robberies" Lu Fuyi!
She was wearing a red dress that looked like it was stained with blood, floating in the air, holding a red umbrella in her hand, which was extremely strange.
If he puts on a pitch-black mask, he will look like the BOSS [Four-phase Robber Lord] in the game.
I don’t know if it was because the noise I made when I pretended to be someone was too loud that it attracted her over as well.
However, since the "Wheel of Karma" is still on him, he is not afraid of her coming to seek revenge, because she can't kill him anyway.
Gu Fangchen was just about to smile and tease this "Four-phase Robbery Master" again.
But then, the expression on his face froze, and his eyes looked as if he had seen a ghost.
——He really did see a ghost.
Just behind Lu Fuyi, a more familiar blue figure suddenly appeared!
This figure, who looked like a fairy from the cold palace, appeared silently, and even the "Four Phases Lord of Tribulation" did not notice it at all.
Her green skirt dragged on the ground, and where her bare feet stepped, bright blue flowers grew one after another.
Her face was as cold as frost, and her eyes looking at Gu Fangchen were full of murderous intent!
Gu Fangchen's hair stood on end for a moment and he couldn't help swallowing.
He took a deep breath.
What is coming is coming...
After trying every possible means to trap the Grandmaster in the underworld for a few days, she finally came back!
This teasing doesn't work... slip away!
Hurry up...the people from the academy should have arrived by now.
Whether or not his life can be saved depends on the ability of the academy!
Gu Fangchen turned around without hesitation and continued to break through the levels, or rather... escape!
Lu Fuyi below: “……?”
What’s going on… Wasn’t this guy so arrogant before, relying on the “Wheel of Sea Tribulation” on him, and not afraid of me at all?
Why is it that all of a sudden, it's like a mouse seeing a cat?
The "Four-phase Tribulation Lord" frowned, feeling a little strange.
Suddenly, she felt a cold wind passing by, bringing a chill to her heart.
Her pupils constricted, and she turned her head, but she didn't see anyone...
…
High in the sky above the Wenwu Tower, three great scholars were in the clouds, overlooking the tower that was lighting up below.
These three great scholars were the ones who had previously held meetings in the back mountain of the academy.
The head of Wenhua Academy is Liu Wenqing.
The head of the Jingshi Academy is Dugu Yu.
In addition, there was the acting dean when the "Confucian Sage" was in seclusion - "Heart Sage" Lu Mingyuan.
Lu Mingyuan looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky and said calmly:
"This boy does have some abilities... What a pity."
"Today is the day he dies!"
