Chapter 23: I Am the Rules
The illusory realm disappeared, and Wei Yuan’s mind returned to his true body. As soon as he woke up and opened his eyes, he noticed that absolute pandemonium was happening in the test hall. Some people were crying, and some people were laughing. Some people were also shaking uncontrollably while their undergarments slowly turned wet.
Suddenly, a girl’s voice pierced through the cacophony of noises. It was sweet, soft, and indescribably melodious. “You pig-riding bastard, I’ll fight you to the—”
Wei Yuan snuck a look and saw a girl wearing a goose yellow dress standing not far away from him. She looked like a doll that was weaved from a combination of water and jade. She was so beautiful he couldn’t find a single flaw anywhere. It looked like she had just recovered her senses as she jumped out of her seat. When she realized that the surrounding candidates were staring at her though, she instantly fell quiet and even looked panicked and afraid. It was a look that made anyone who saw her feel like holding her tight.
Wei Yuan remembered her as a matter of course. She was the blue team commander who endured a blow from him. He had gone back up the hill to finish the job after realizing that she wasn’t dead yet.
The girl looked like she might burst into tears at any moment, and he could not help but feel a bit of regret. But his feelings were one thing, and finishing off a formidable foe was another.
Meanwhile, the Daoist responsible for supervising the kids felt like the noises were physical hammers pounding away at his head. He kicked them out as soon as he could.
Wei Yuan took his time to climb back to his feet. He waited for the girl in goose yellow dress to leave first before slipping into the crowd and walking toward the exit.
The girl didn’t see him, but someone else had. Right before he would leave the hall, Li Zhi suddenly stepped out of a nearby shadow and blocked his path.
Wei Yuan tensed up internally and waited for Li Zhi to speak up. However, the boy neither said a word nor opened the way. Thus, the duo kept staring at each other while the rest of the candidates passed them by. It wasn’t long before they were the only ones still standing in the hall.
