The sun shone brilliantly above the sky.
As the first candidate who made a move, Li Yuanzhen was applauded by the crowd alongside the imperial pathway. He was the first rock that made a splash in the otherwise quiet lake.
The payout for betting on Li Yuanzhen was not that high as many people were confident he would be the grand champion.
He had an outstanding background: the best student of the Imperial Academy—a rank higher than Jiang Linglong, the right administrator's son, the best spell master in this Imperial Examination…
His payout was not high, but with his exceptional qualities, those who bet on him would not lose much. He was like a sprouting leafling that would eventually grow into a giant tree, everyone knew that.
Therefore, there were roaring cheers from all directions.
Fang Lang and Liu Bubai who went in right after him were ignored.
