"Damn it! Damn it!" With a trembling body, Zhang Qian cursed furiously beneath his breath.
He had performed beyond his usual limits in the examination, and he thought that it would allow him to soar through the ranks. Yet, contrary to all of his expectations, he still failed to get into the top fifty. Not only that, as if adding insult to his injury, it was that Zhang Xuan bastard who took the final position, squeezing him out of the Elite Division!
He had been thinking that with the authority he would gain from getting into the Elite Division, he would be able to teach that fellow a lesson. But as if the heavens were playing tricks on him, the situation somehow evolved to this point.
"Brother Yunfeng, it's that Zhang Xuan fellow who made a move against me. He was also the one who squeezed me out of the top fifty as well!" With clenched fists, Zhang Qian complained indignantly to a young man not too far away.
Zhang Yunfeng was another candidate from the Zhang Clan who managed to qualify for the Elite Division. He was ranked in the 46th place in the examination.
"I know, but you brought it upon yourself." Zhang Yunfeng glanced at Zhang Qian and harrumphed indifferently. "Even I would hesitate to approach those from the Glacier Plain Court carelessly, but you eagerly rushed up to them as soon as you arrived, wanting to fawn on them. You are really courting trouble!"
"I admit that I was too arrogant and deserved to be humiliated, but that fellow showed blatant contempt for the Zhang Clan in public, saying that those from the Zhang Clan would put a leg into any affairs that concern a beautiful lady... And you really can't begin to imagine the haughty tone he took when he said those words too! We can't allow him to get away with defaming the Zhang Clan so easily!" Zhang Qian exclaimed indignantly.
"Don't even try using those little ploys of yours on me. Nevertheless, regardless of whether he has shown blatant contempt for the Zhang Clan or not, he was indeed rather arrogant to make a move on you even after you had expressed your identity. Don't worry, I'll teach him a lesson later on and make him learn that just that bit of talent he has won't be enough for him to act so smugly in the Sanctum of Sages!"
"Thank you, Brother Yunfeng!" Hearing that the other party was willing to step up for him, Zhang Qian's eyes lit up in excitement.
Zhang Yunfeng's bloodline was far purer than his, reaching thelevel of Tier-11. On top of that, the other party's cultivation was also significantly higher than his, reaching Grand Dominion realm primary stage. If the other party was willing to make a move in his stead, that Zhang Xuan fellow would surely be thrashed.
"Un." Zhang Yunfeng replied impassively.
To him, a fellow who had originated from humble lands was just a short disturbance to his cultivation. It wasn't a problem worthy of his note.
...
"Moving on, these are the people who have qualified for the Ordinary Division!" Ignoring the crowd's astonishment, Elder Liu waved his hand grandly once more.
Silver lights gathered in the sky, and one by one, names flickered into existence.
It didn't take too long for all 450 names of the candidates who had made it into the Ordinary Division to appear. After confirming that Zhang Jiuxiao's name was amidst them too, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhang Jiuxiao's ranking wasn't too high, ranging in the 460s, but nevertheless, what was important was that he had cleared the entrance examination and successfully became a student of the Sanctum of Sages too.
