THUD—CLACK!
Across the gleaming white marble flagstones of Central Sky-Plaza, the sound of nine hundred nineteen-year-old Inner Sect prodigies dropping to one knee in unison. The southern VIP terrace of the [Lv.3 Flying Courtyard Carriage] echoed like a landslide!
Every single one of those nine hundred teenagers—representing the top ninety percent of the next generation’s talent from the Supreme Sword Sect, Jade Lotus Sect, Thunder-Clap Sect, Heavenly Talisman Sect. Beast-Taming Sect—held a red-graded 80+ / 100 Morality & Math Exam Paper in one hand and a warm, fragrant [Gu Family Rank 5 Braised Beef Bun] in the other!
Meanwhile, left behind in the middle of the plaza near the northern steps, the remaining one hundred arrogant disciples who had refused to study their fractions—along with a sobbing. Pig-trotter-handed Holy Son Chu Tian with a glowing red [ -20 / 100 ] stamped across his forehead—stood looking like a flock of plucked chickens!
For three full breaths, all one hundred thousand spectators in the grandstands of Central Sky-Plaza were so stunned you could have heard a pine needle drop.
Then, up on the northern ceremonial dais, Supreme Sword Sect Master Jian Jue , at Rank 5 Peak, Thunder-Clap Sect Master Lei Zhen , at Rank 5 Peak. Jade Lotus Sect Master Lian Hua , at Rank 5 Peak, exploded with volcanic, vein-popping fury!
