Chapter 184: Ping Yang's Pillar

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

He looked at Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang, his fists clenched, "Fang Zhengzhi, you look like you’re quite free?"

Fang Zhengzhi was really quite free.

He finally understood what Ping Yang wanted to do.

She wanted to challenge a Heavenly Reflection candidate to prove her abilities? This was not something normal people would choose to do.

But, Ping Yang was just a Star Conglomerate cultivator, where did she get the confidence to defeat a Heavenly Reflection cultivator from?

"Princess, my apologies!" Wang Chuanping also understood. He was already 36 years old and the competition was getting more and more intense each year.

He did not wish to give up his chance here.

Furthermore, Ping Yang had already asked him to defeat her. All he had to do was ensure he didn’t injure here.

Ping Yang smiled when she heard Wang Chuanping.

Then...

Something unbelievable happened.

Ping Yang attacked.

She jumped into the air and kicked at Wang Chuanping. Even though she could not match him in cultivation level, she did not lose out in speed or power.

Wang Chuanping did not move. He did not even think of dodging.

If he had to dodge, then what was the difference in their cultivation levels for?

"Bang!"

Ping Yang stopped in mid air, almost as if there was an invisible wind stopping her from getting any closer.

"Star Conglomerate against Heavenly Reflection? It doesn’t seem like much of a fight..."

"But, she’s Ping Yang!"

Two of the candidates began to discuss the battle, and the tide also seemed to change slightly.

Ping Yang, who was finding it difficult to advance, burst into flames. That was real flames, and it burnt her red cloak into ashes.

The sky was scattered with grey ashes.

However, in the middle of the ashes, almost like an elf bathing in fire, Ping Yang looked out arrogantly.

A bright red armor covered her body from head to toe.

This was an armor for a lady. It was designed with flowers and red crystals lined the plates, each crystal bursting into flames.

"The Red Flame Flower Armor!"

All of the candidates, including Su Donglin, realized what was going on the moment they saw the armor.

That’s right...

She is Ping Yang, the princess most pampered by the emperor. It was only normal that she had the best treasures the empire had!

So long as she wore the Red Flame Flower Armor, even the advanced Heavenly Reflection Stage Su Donglin could not do any harm to her.

Wang Chuanping, who was only in the intermediate stages, was even less of a question.

But was the armor enough?

It would only be enough to force a tie.

"Roar!" A beastly roar rang out, and another flame shot skywards from Ping Yang’s body.

Under the intense red light, there was a spot of gold that seemed to flicker.

It was like a gold point, and from the moment it showed itself, it brought with it an incredibly vicious and domineering aura.

"The Blazing Qilin Spear!"

"One of the ten great treasures of the Great Xia Dynasty!"

"The Emperor actually gave her the Blazing Qilin Spear..."

All of the candidates were in awe when they saw Ping Yang holding the Blazing Qilin Spear.

They had all heard rumors that the Emperor, Lin Mubai, had given the Blazing Qilin Spear to Ping Yang for her birthday, but no one had seen it before.

Until today...

The Blazing Qilin Spear was out for all to see.

The devilish girl of the capital was no longer just armed with an indestructible armor, she was now armed with the Blazing Qilin Spear. She was now... a vicious devilish girl with a credible way to hurt people.

That being said, no one would dare attack Ping Yang.

However, daring to, and being able to, were two completely different concepts.

To put it simply...

They had the ability to protect themselves before. Now that Ping Yang has the Blazing Qilin Spear, she could destroy any defence they put up.

Fang Zhengzhi had heard about the Blazing Qilin Spear when Lin Mubai mentioned it at Ping Yang’s birthday party.

Today was the first time he saw the Blazing Qilin Spear in person.

It was a completely red spear. At the tip of the spear was a golden pearl. Light flowed inside the pearl, almost as if there was some sort of blood flowing inside.

Below the the pearl were scale like designs. The designs extended all the way to the bottom of the spear, making it incredibly exquisite.

"Good spear!" Even though Fang Zhengzhi did not know his spears, it did not take a genius to figure out that this was a good spear.

Wang Chuanping’s expression of calm had been replaced by crimson.

He had finally understood why Ping Yang had said that if he did not fight her, she would go raid his home.

A Star Conglomerate Ping Yang was nothing to be afraid of.

But, with the protection of the Red Flame Flower Armor and the attacking prowess the Blazing Qilin Spear brought, Ping Yang was incredibly terrifying.

Ping Yang smirked as she raised her head. She unconsciously looked at Fang Zhengzhi as she thursted the spear towards Wang Chuanping.

"Roar!" The beastlike roar echoed out once again.

The entire sky filled with flames and crashed towards Wang Chuanping. In the midst of the fire was a golden point, which was going straight towards Wang Chuanping’s throat.

Wang Chuanping wanted to retreat, but the aura seemed to root him in place.

He wanted to defend himself. However, the wind he controlled only managed to repel the flames but not the golden light.

That was a homing golden light.

It was impossible to block!

This was the Blazing Qilin Spear. It could penetrate everything.

Only a spear like that could qualify to become one of the top ten treasures of the Great Xia Empire. It was said that this was the most fearsome weapon around.

The golden light stopped.

It stopped about an inch from Wang Chuanping’s throat.

Wang Chuanping sat on the ground. He had underestimated his opponent, and that was his undoing. If he had kept his distance from Ping Yang from the start, he would not have lost so quickly.

"So what about my abilities?" Ping Yang turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi.

Fang Zhengzhi ignored Ping Yang, looking at Yan Xiu instead.

Yan Xiu understood what Fang Zhengzhi was asking, and nodded.

Then, Fang Zhengzhi nodded to Ping Yang.

"Not bad!"

"Not bad?! You..." Ping Yang wanted to flip out. Her Blazing Qilin Spear and herself were not just ‘not bad’. No one there could block an outright attack from her.

However, her goal was to join Fang Zhengzhi’s group and find the legendary sword.

Even though...

The possibility of it was unlikely, she had a feeling that if anyone had a chance, it would be Fang Zhengzhi.

Someone who managed to finish the entire examination should know this world well right?

That was what Ping Yang thought.

If Ping Yang knew that Fang Zhengzhi did not even know Meng Tian, she may not think that way...

Ping Yang swallowed her words before she could say them.

As such, Fang Zhengzhi did not say anymore and accepted Ping Yang with exasperation. Then, he walked over to the fallen Wang Chuanping.

"You have lost!"

"Yes..." Wang Chuanping was not happy about it, but that was the fact.

"The Imperial Examinations are only held once every two years, and each one is harder than the last. You don’t want to go out like this, do you?" Fang Zhengzhi pressed.

"Of course, but..." Wang Chuanping’s eyes glowed with pain, but he could not do anything.

"Then, do you want a second chance?" Fang Zhengzhi smiled radiantly.

"A second... second chance?!" Wang Chuanping was floored. He did not really understand what Fang Zhengzhi was saying.
