Soaring of Galaxia
chapter-97

On the border of the exam sites, Qin Wushuang found the representative from the Zhen Wu Holy Place in charge of processing.

“Hm? How come one came out after another one entered?" That representative mused to himself, "This Third testing site is sure lively. Didn't one just go in yesterday?"

He looked at Qin Wushuang and smiled: “Crossing?”

“Yes.” Qin Wushuang nodded.

"Please show me your jade plates." That representative said with a kind tone. He talked as he extended his hand, "Your entire exam site is quite vivacious. In all exam sites, only two people have crossed into another area. One entered your site, and you, on the other hand, are leaving. I have to say, the rest of the martial arts students from your site are very unfortunate."

Qin Wushuang handed over all his jade plates, which included those six plates he acquired from that external examinee.

That representative checked each one of them and tallied the numbers with Qin Wushuang’s serial number. After he had finished totaling all the jade plates from the Third site, surprised, he picked up a plate that had come from that external tester. He immediately revealed a surprised look.

“This…this jade plate, is not from your exam site?”

Qin Wushuang shrugged: “Didn’t the rules say all the jade plates from each exam site are worth the same amount of points?”

“Yes, it’s the same.” That representative nodded hurriedly, “This... the first martial arts student that crossed is no longer alive…?”

Qin Wushuang smiled and acknowledged this fact.

“Ok ok ok, the purpose of crossing is only focused on those exam sites where people have not crossed. Until now, only one martial art student had passed from Number Thirteen exam site. And it seems you have already taken care of him. So, except the Number Thirteen exam site, you can draw any one of the other sites."

The result of the draw showed that Qin Wushuang’s next exam site was the Number Twelve exam site.

“Kid, since the first martial arts student who crossed were no longer here, you are the first one to cross. Good luck on everything." That representative sent him sincere blessings.

“Thanks.”

“Present this introduction crossing plate to walk out of the exam site. Someone will bring you to the Number Twelve site.”

Naturally, someone received Qin Wushuang when he walked out of the Third testing ground. He brought him to the border of the Number Twelve site and reminded him: "The rules of the exam has not changed. You can keep crossing when you’ve collected eighty points."

"Go in; moving area is also fifty miles."

Qin Wushuang nodded and slowly walked to the exam site.

…

Outside of the Sobbing Sky Mountain Range, the major heads of the hosts, the Zhen Wu Holy Place, were gathered in a camp.

In this exam, the Bai Yue Country had mobilized the entire country as they viewed it with great importance. They did not hold back and had promised the highest reward, to bestow the title of King. It was enough to see the determination of the national will behind it.

Now, almost all the high heads from the Zhen Wu Holy Place had gathered outside the Sobbing Sky Mountain Range.

And among these major heads, the four Honored Warriors held the highest position.

"Everyone, guess what information was just sent from the Third exam site?" The Great Honored Warrior from the four, who dressed in a purple robe and had announced rules before the start of the exam.

“Great Warrior, what happened? Perhaps, that crossing martial arts student from the Thirteen site had gathered another eighty points?” Another red-haired Honored Warrior asked curiously.

“Usually, it won’t be that fast. Less than a day had passed. From our estimation, it would take at least five or six days to gather all eighty points. That martial arts student who crossed from the Number Thirteen site had done it in a short time. So, he had the strength and also the luck. This time, he would not be able to move so fast in a new exam site. I think he would need at least ten days…” Another Honored Warrior dressed in a messy hundred quail tied clothing that said.

"Great Warrior, stop keeping us in the dark. Could it be, a martial arts student had also crossed from the Third site?" The last Honored Warrior was a charming, beautiful woman. She dressed in a body of pink palace clothing and made people think that she was a wife of a Royal family.

That purple robed Great Honored Warrior stroke his long whiskers and laughed: “In the end, Little Fourth Sister has a meticulous mindset. However, indeed, a martial arts student had crossed over from the Third site.”

The other three Honored Warrior all felt the brilliant news as joyful expression showed on each of their faces.

Especially that red haired Second Honored Warrior, who could not help but rub his palms. He laughed creepily: “Great Warrior, the result of this time was way beyond our expectation. If it keeps proceeding with this speed, our potential kids should be exceptional. Perhaps, we can beat the Great Wu country.”

The purple robed Great Honored Warrior muttered to himself irresolutely: “I am not finished. This martial arts student who crossed from the Third site carried jade plates that did not belong to the Third exam site.”

When he said these words, the rest of them still did not get it. After a moment, they turned around, and all revealed a surprising look.

“Jade plates not belonging to the Third site? Then they were from the Number Thirteen site?”

"Yes." The purple-robed Great Honored Warrior squinted his eyes and smiled.

“If that’s the case, the first martial arts student who crossed had already died by his hand?”

"That's right…" Suddenly, the purple-robed Great Honored Warrior suddenly laughed, "Let's see, what kind of performance this martial arts student who crossed from the Third Site will give us!"

The remaining three Honored Warriors looked at each other. Apparently, they were full of praise. In the beginning, the demonic performance of that Number Thirteen martial arts student had left them with a deep impression.

And now, that Number Thirteen had gotten himself killed the first day he entered the Third exam site.

Suddenly, the beautiful woman, the Fourth Honored Warrior remembered something and asked: “Great Warrior, did the martial arts student from the Third site have an identical serial number with that one from the Number Thirteen site?”

"No…" The purple-robed Great Warrior shook his head with deep feeling, "The jade plates he presented from the Third site had also broken through eighty points. Strangely, that Number Thirteen carried a dozen of jade plates, and this one from the Third site only showed six."

“Maybe he left some trump cards.” The other three Honored Warrior all gave a long sigh.

…

After he had entered the exam site, Qin Wushuang was not in a hurry to penetrate deeply. He decided to start from the border areas and to become familiar with the terrain. This time, since he did not have to concern himself with Tong Yao’s little brother, he decided to change his method to a much swifter one, like thunder.

Just as he was walking, Qin Wushuang suddenly stopped his footsteps. The root of his ear twitched and smiled: “Stop hiding, come out.”

With an evil laughter, a martial arts student walked out from a dark place. He sized Qin Wushuang from up and down with coldly: “Foreign testee?”

“Hm?”

“How did you find me?” That martial arts student had always been confident about his concealing skills. He did not expect Qin Wushuang had exposed him.

Qin Wushuang was not interested in his words. He was more interested in that serial number on him.

Number Thirty-Six from the Number Twelve exam site!

The same ending digit.

That martial arts student also stopped looking at Qin Wushuang’s test robe. He also revealed a happy look. From time to time, he had concealed himself near the boundary to rob foreign testers.

Even though foreign testers may not come nor would they come this early, he would still wait here three times a day as a routine.

Unexpectedly, he had gotten lucky today. And it was a testee with the same ending digit!

Since this external testee was eligible to cross, it proved that he had already collected eighty points. Because of the same ending numbers, so most of the jade plates would be high pointers and would also overlap with the ones he needed!

When he thought here, and an evil idea emerged.

"Leave the plates, and you will live. You will not live if you don't give me the plates. Choose." That martial arts student smiled coldly.

Qin Wushuang nodded: "I choose to leave neither the person and the plate."

With that word still hung in the corner of his mouth, his body had already rushed forward. Before that martial arts student could register what had happened, he only felt something flashed before his eyes. Next, his neck tightened, and his feet suddenly left the ground as someone had raised him up high.

Qin Wushuang pulled the rattan from the trees next to him along the way. Instantly, he spun it in a few circles and wrapped that martial arts student into a giant glutinous rice wrapped in leaves and left him swaying back and forth on the tree.

“My principle is, those who obey me live, those who oppose me die,” Qin Wushuang said lightly, “Now, I will ask, and you will answer. How to answer is your choice. And how to deal with you is my business. If you don’t want to get strangled to death because of one lying word, then you must make sure you speak the truth.”

Terrified, that martial arts student had never expected this. The combat ability he had been so proud of had collapsed at the first blow before this guy.

Indeed, crossing testees were not easy to provoke…

Howling inwardly, he kept nodding and said: “Cooperate, I will do my best to cooperate. I will answer all your questions.”

Before a death threat, all pride and courage was meaningless.

Qin Wushuang smiled lightly and asked: “First question, how many jade plates do you have, and what are their numbers?”
