Chapter 2416 - 2421: Genius

Chapter 2416: Chapter 2421: Genius

After waiting for a moment, nobody responded.

Lan Lianxue seized the opportunity and said, "Father, what exactly has happened to you? Why do I feel like you’ve completely changed since I came back?"

She remembered very clearly.

Her father used to be very doting towards her.

For something like a martial arts competition for marriage.

He would never hold it without her consent.

Even such an impossible and unusual event as today.

He made it happen.

This is the Azure Blue Palace, guarded by many strong warriors.

Her father’s cultivation is at the ninth level of the Demon Lord.

Except for the arrival of a few supreme experts.

How could someone sneak into Azure Blue Palace under his nose?

"It’s nothing, you can continue chatting, I’ll be leaving now."

King Lan offered no explanations.

He left with a face full of dark lines.

He was extremely certain.

There was indeed a powerful person secretly spying just now.

His concealment divine skills are extremely hard to detect, even for a ninth-level Demon Lord cultivator.

If it weren’t for that minuscule fluctuation.

King Lan wouldn’t have believed it either.

That someone was actually spying right under his nose.

He must find out who this person is.

And what exactly they intended by entering the Western Region, or rather, the Demon God Kingdom.

Inside a certain tavern in Azure Blue City.

Xia Liu finally had a chance to take a breather.

He was frightened as well just now.

But it was quite thrilling.

Demon Emperor Hentian’s concealment divine skills are indeed terrifying.

Even a ninth-level Demon Lord wasn’t able to detect it.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t maintain it for long enough.

Otherwise, even spending a day inside Azure Blue Palace, King Lan wouldn’t have discovered him.

This trip, although it consumed a lot.

Was very much worth it.

Xia Liu had already found the answer.

Lan Lianxue doesn’t want to find a mate.

It was entirely a grand event that King Lan forced upon her.

Since Lan Lianxue was unwilling, and even furious about King Lan arranging this matter for her.

I ought to help.

After inquiring for two days, Xia Liu, still cloaked, headed to Azure Blue Palace.

Because the registration place was right at the palace gates.

Xia Liu’s registration was very successful.

Without much effort, he entered a certain room in the west yard of Azure Blue Palace.

Of course, what he spent was just a Demon Crystal.

Just by paying enough, he didn’t even have to take off the black robe.

And surely became the first maverick to register for the martial arts competition for marriage.

After resting for a day.

Xia Liu, along with many others, participated in a written examination, much like the ancient imperial examinations of Huaxia.

Given Xia Liu’s experience and the vast information in his mind.

This exam was child’s play.

When the results were announced.

Lan Lianxue and Yi Fei, also veiled, were seated on the stage.

But neither woman had their gaze on the participating demon cultivators.

"The young lady just sitting there makes me feel like I’m in love!"

"Perfect! Absolutely perfect!"

"I must pass all assessments to wed the young lady!"

...

Although many didn’t know which was Lan Lianxue and which was Yi Fei.

The main focus for their participation was mostly the resources of the Lan Family.

If they marry Lan Lianxue, King Lan wouldn’t be stingy, right?

The son-in-law of the Lan Family, even with the poorest talent, couldn’t have a foundation below the fifth level of Demon Lord!

Regarding the comments from the crowd.

King Lan heard them and felt discomfort in his heart.

Only he knew how much pain it caused him to make such a decision.

Lan Lianxue and Yi Fei remained unmoved.

They had been in the limelight since childhood.

They were already used to it.

Also, since they were veiled, they weren’t worried about anything.

"The results of the written examination are out!"

At this moment, an old man came on stage with a stack of papers.

"Oh? Fugui, how are the results?"

King Lan asked.

"King Lan, this time the written exam is quite interesting, someone actually achieved an unprecedented perfect score!"

At Azure Blue Palace, written exams are a mandatory participation for palace members every year.

Fugui had been grading test papers for decades.

Today was undoubtedly the most surprising day of his decades.

Someone managed to answer questions from various domains of the Demon Domain so perfectly!

Even questions related to the Cultivation World were perfectly resolved.

"Perfect score? What do you mean?"

King Lan asked puzzled.

He was mentally prepared.

Being praised by Fugui like this, it seems he’s far stronger than those ministers and geniuses of the palace.

"All three hundred and twenty questions answered perfectly!"

"Pfft!"

"All answered perfectly!"

"This person must be a monster!"

"No way! Unless he knew the answers beforehand, how could someone get them all right!"

"Yes! I think so too!"

Before King Lan could respond.

The demon cultivators participating in the martial competition got excited.

This person who answered everything correctly must be cheating.

Nobody wanted to believe it.

Additionally, with such a formidable monster, their chances of winning seemed slim.

So they all clamored for King Lan to thoroughly investigate this cheater.

"Alright, everyone, quiet down."

King Lan’s voice was gentle.

Yet it was filled with an unquestionable authority.

After the crowd quieted, King Lan received the perfect-score test paper and began reviewing it.

The more he looked, the more his expression became more fascinated.

Some questions he himself didn’t know how to answer.

But upon seeing the answers on the paper.

He seemed to suddenly understand.

No flaws could be picked.

"Genius! Who exactly did this?"

After a while, King Lan praised.

"King Lan, are you sure this person didn’t know the answers in advance?"

"Hmm? Are you questioning the Azure Blue Palace’s capabilities? Or are you implying that I’m joking about holding a martial arts competition for marriage?"

Today being a significant day, King Lan didn’t want to get angry.

But discussing it briefly was enough.

Pushing it further made people uncomfortable.

But for the bigger picture.

So everyone would be convinced, King Lan explained.

"It’s normal to have doubts, what I want to say is, many parts of this test paper, even I don’t know the answers."

...

This explanation made everyone present convinced.

One could see just how monstrous this questionnaire person was.

"Ahem, I declare, the person who topped the written exam this time is Liu Xia!"

Looking at the name written on the test paper, King Lan announced.

"Liu Xia! Truly a lucky one!"

"I wonder what this guy looks like."

"Being able to answer questions that even King Lan doesn’t understand, his hair must be all white."

"Exactly, I think so too."

"Ahem, next let’s invite Liu Xia onto the stage."

Fugui shouted.

Under everyone’s gaze.

A mysterious person clad in a black robe slowly took the stage.

"Hmm? No aura around him! Is he not a demon cultivator?"

"This is interesting, coming to participate in a martial arts marriage contest with no cultivation at all!"

"Haha! Originally I had no hope of winning, but it turns out this monster is just an ordinary demon!"

...

In everyone’s eyes, Xia Liu was just a mortal with no power.

For such a mortal, no matter how profound his knowledge, it’s useless, the Prince Consort of Azure Blue Palace, needs someone with immense potential!
