Serpent’s Kiss!

(1 update) Note: Brothers, I implore you for monthly tickets; on the new book’s monthly ticket board, they’re extremely, extremely important.

Thank you, everyone.

…

The silence persisted in the arena until the pierced black kite plummeted to the ground.

Again, the silence was like the stillness of solidified air!

Then came the hysterical screams.

“Ah…

ah…

ah…”

The female students couldn’t contain the trembling in their hearts and screamed desperately, as if only by doing so could they express the shaking and excitement within.

And the other examiners, the other supervisors, all stood on the high platform, unable to make a sound.

Especially Princess Zhining, her mind went blank in an instant, losing all reaction.

This, this, how is this possible?

If the first scene at the fixed target was a miracle, then without a doubt, what was unfolding before their eyes now was a divine act.

A blind person actually hit a black kite that was only the size of a palm and had a flight speed of tens of meters per second?

This, this was too doubtful, were they witnessing reality, or was it a dream?

However, this was just the beginning!

Next, once more it was time for Suo Lun’s magnificent performance.

The second arrow, the third arrow, the fourth arrow, the fifth arrow…

Still bowing his head towards the ground, yet every single arrow met with the black kite in the sky, instantly piercing it, bringing death to the bird and shock to everyone present.

As they watched this silently splendid performance, everyone felt their nerves go numb; their minds, their spirits were impacted over and over again, repeatedly baptized until numbness took over.

That chilling feeling, that slight tremor, descended once again.

Li Nianzhen, too, was struck dumb with astonishment and only mechanically sounded the signal horn.

Right after that, Suo Lun, with closed eyes and head bowed, suddenly shot out an arrow, and that extremely fast black kite was instantly penetrated in mid-air.

Everyone felt time slow down remarkably because the venue was so silent that everything seemed like a mime performance.

The miracles performed by Suo Lun shocked their souls, again and again.

Under this impact, it was as if time itself had solidified.

At the same time, everyone also felt time pass incredibly quickly.

Because such a miraculous scene, watched a hundred or a thousand times, would never become tedious.

With each time, they would feel an incredibly intense shock.

However, even the most marvelous and shocking performances come to an end.

After ten signal horn sounds, the last black kite was pierced by a sharp arrow and fell to the ground.

The magnificent performance was officially over!

Afterward, everyone stood straight and turned towards Suo Lun, clapping furiously with all their might.

…

“Finally, it’s over, finally it’s over…”

Suo Lun’s entire soul, his entire being, was on the brink of collapse.

He had completely exhausted his will, his spirit.

The divine feat he had performed came at a heavy cost: tenfold dragon strength, tenfold spiritual power, in exchange for a perceived slowdown in the world, allowing him to hit his target with each shot.

At this moment, his body felt totally numb.

His entire head was about to explode, his eyes burned with an intense pain, and from his nostrils came a strong sensation that felt ready to burst forth, as if blood was about to spurt out any second.

But none of that mattered because he had won.

Yes, he had won!

In this wager against Princess Zhining, he had won.

In this struggle against Destiny, he had won.

Listening to the thunderous applause around him, though there were few people, a single thought echoed in Suo Lun’s mind: it’s over, finally, it’s over.

He lowered his bow and bowed neatly in three directions.

Finally, he turned towards the direction of Princess Zhining, and untied the black cloth that bound his eyes.

Everyone saw that there were glaring, crimson tears of blood streaming from the sides of his eyes.

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone’s hearts were suddenly and intensely stirred, reminding them once again that this was a person who could no longer see.

And these two lines of blood tears only served to make Suo Lun’s face appear even more bewitchingly handsome.

In the minds of many women present, they would never forget this scene for the rest of their lives.

At that moment, Suo Lun had become the most enchanting, the most handsome, and the most mysterious man in their eyes.

Even if they got married, had children, Suo Lun’s figure and face at this time would be etched deeply in their hearts.

Suo Lun, with his dark eyes, stared at Zhi Ning and slowly said, “Your Highness, Commandery Princess, you’ve lost.”

Princess Zhining stood there, almost without any reaction.

For when Suo Lun’s first blind shot hit the black swan, she almost knew that she was done for today, utterly, totally defeated.

Then, the spirit she had been sustaining for days finally collapsed.

She simply couldn’t fathom how Suo Lun did it, and her mind was a blank, unable to think of anything.

At this moment, Suo Lun’s words brought her back to reality, a reality that was unbearably cruel to her.

Yes, she had lost.

A gamble that seemed foolproof, lost just like that?

Everything felt so unreal.

Suo Lun continued, “Our bet consisted of three wagers, and now I want to collect the first one—my ‘Snake’s Kiss’!”

As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the audience screamed out loud.

A ‘Snake’s Kiss’ from the royal family’s Commandery Princess, the first talented woman of the royal house, the number one beauty of Royal City Academy?

This was just too thrilling, a sight seldom seen in a lifetime.

If it were any other time, all men would surely be filled with immense jealousy.

But at this moment, after Suo Lun’s miraculous performance, even the pettiest of men couldn’t summon a trace of envy, for all of this was rightfully Suo Lun’s.

And in Princess Zhining’s eyes, Suo Lun had transformed from an oppressed individual to a victor in an instant.

His handsome, even somewhat enchanting face now appeared to her as the face of a venomous snake, flicking its bright red tongue at her.

Facing provocation from an enemy, Zhi Ning calmed herself down in the shortest time possible.

The eager noble ladies from Royal City Academy immediately rushed up to Suo Lun, surrounding and protecting him tightly.

Zhi Ning looked at the unconscious Suo Lun, her gaze trembling slightly.

For some reason, seeing him like this caused her heart to flutter again, though she despised him!

Even if it was hatred etched deep into her bones, she was never going to forget this man in her lifetime.

After one more glance at Suo Lun, she turned around and left.

She knew she was now in the eye of the storm.

What she was going to face next was a tempest, whether it was the public opinion of the millions of citizens of Royal City, the gambling debts amounting to over 140,000 Gold Coins, or the tremendous disadvantage brought on by Suo Lun inheriting the City Lordship of Tianshui City for Zhi Li.

This loss was disastrous, and the consequences were incredibly severe.

She hoped that this storm wouldn’t shatter and break her.

Zhi Ning numbly walked to her carriage and finally could drop her facade.

“Pu…” With her mouth suddenly opening, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which splashed a striking red on the pure white wall of the carriage.

…

With the end of the last examination, the graduation exams of Royal City Academy were completely over.

The cumulative scores of all participants were formally published an hour later.

By then, Suo Lun had already been taken back home in Count Tianshui’s carriage, departing from Royal City Academy.

More than two hundred noble students crowded around the academy’s large announcement board, awaiting the final results.

Though there was already some understanding of Suo Lun’s performance, everyone was still waiting for the moment of the official announcement, fearing there might be some behind-the-scenes manipulation.

If there truly was foul play, the numerous noble girls had already discussed setting the academy ablaze.

The crowd in front of the announcement board swelled by the minute, not just noble students but a large number of commoner students as well, even though their own final exams had yet to begin.

And it wasn’t just the students of Royal City Academy—citizens from all across Royal City were eagerly awaiting Suo Lun’s final score.

After all, it involved a huge gamble, a territory spanning five hundred miles, a wager of astronomical figures.

As the time for the announcement drew near, there were already thousands of people crowded in front of the announcement board.

The time finally came.

“Here it comes, here it comes…” The crowd began to stir.

They saw Principal Jian Yong of Royal City Academy approaching with a huge golden charter in his hands.

He wore a solemn and even somewhat somber expression.

Seeing the surging crowd, Principal Jian Yong frowned and walked under the announcement board, slowly saying, “The top ten students in this graduation exam will be directly awarded the Royal Samurai’s Medal.”

Principal Jian Yong looked up and announced loudly, “The students from the noble branch who have earned the top ten spots are…”
